Even beyond "The Great Leap Forward"...
China has been systematically putting into place, plans to destroy the United States, in order to gain access to our land and (unspoiled) natural resources.
And they way they treated their own people. I remember reading an article in the New York Slimes about a minor party official who participated in some farming contest, I think it was "best rooster" or "largest chicken" or something like that.
He lost. So he had the grandfather in the family whose chicken beat him, beheaded, and forced the family to sleep in the same bed as the decapititated corpse.
The source was the Chinese family themselves, IIRC.
Add to that the mandatory sterilization and involuntary abortions...
Just. No.
But how sure can we be that all these people really knew what they were doing...to the point where they were intentionally committing treason?
I completely understand your point about the communist party - it’s a VERY good one. Maybe they OUGHT to have known...but did they really? Isn’t that hard to tell? I suggest that in hindsight it can become much easier to condemn them than perhaps if things had turned out differently...because each individual might not have realized how they were contributing to the whole. And selfishness often makes for blindness.
So, while I’m in agreement with you collaborating with communists should not be done, I’m not in agreement with you that all these citizens are worthy of death. I wouldn’t mind seeing as much evidence brought forward in court, as much as might be obtainable.
You do make a VERY good point.
Respectfully,
