Parties to Tackle China¡¯s Distortion of History

By Lee Jin-woo

Floor leaders of the governing and opposition parties yesterday agreed to cooperate to address China's distortion of history.

The five parties also decided to fully support a resolution unanimously proposed by a National Assembly panel on Thursday.

In the resolution, members of the Unification, Foreign Affairs and Trade Committee denounced China for intentionally distorting ancient Korean history.

They said the controversial research results of the state-funded Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) are not purely a scholastic product, but the Chinese government's intention to claim ancient Korean kingdoms originated in mainland China.

The parties that struck the agreement are the governing Uri Party, the largest opposition Grand National Party (GNP), the Democratic Party (DP), the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) and the People First Party (PFP).

The floor leaders called on the government to take tougher measures to counter China's claims instead of being lukewarm in its response.

During a meeting of an ad hoc Assembly panel, which was first set up to counter historical and territorial disputes last June, lawmakers questioned ranking government officials including Vice Foreign Minister Lee Kyu-hyung over the government's low-key approach to the issue.

``China is believed to have carried out its `Northeastern Project' to help maintain and consolidate ethnic groups in its territory,'' Lee said. ``The South Korean government will consider this aspect and take systematic measures to cope with China's attempt to distort Korea's history.''

China has recently published four books and several articles, claiming that the Koguryo (37 B.C.-668 A.D.) and Palhae (698-926) kingdoms, which occupied today's northern part of the Korean Peninsula and the northeastern region of China, were part of ancient China.

Koguryo was in China, but it was a Korean empire.

China distorted the history of Tibet, and walked right in as the world watched. China distorted the history of Buthan, and as we speak is crossing from Tibet and building roads in Buthan( for later use by invading Red Army troops).

China now distorts the history of Korea, so that they all become "Chinese" in history, justifdying the future annexation of Korea as part of the ancient"Middle Kingdom."

And China moves ever so slowly, creepingly , consistently, hegemonaically, and will not be happy until she occuppies all of Asia, because Asia is Chinese.

L.A. is Chinese too, because California was allegedly once visited by a Chinese ship. My toilet? Its Chinese too, because it once held the digested remains of a rather large order of General Gau's Chicken.

And America? It is Chinese too because the railway was built by Chinese.

The fact that China is rewriting history in their favor comes as no surprise. Communist/Liberals/Socialists do the same thing.
