Fight back against China

I recently concluded a (troubling) book, “Freedom in Exile,” the autobiography by the Dalai Lama, and his end-game conclusion is that the Chinese Communist Party leadership were liars and murderers. When they took over Tibet - “for the Tibetans own good” (always) - over one million Tibetans (to present) have been murdered.

Tibetan culture has all but been obliterated: 1) Chinese living in Tibet vastly outnumber the Tibetans; 2) Tibet has become the dump site for China’s nuclear waste; 3) One province of Tibet has the largest gulag/prison camp in it known to humans - able to imprison ten million people.

The Dalai Lama speaks of the “rape of Tibet.” All promises/assurances made to the Dalia Lama by whichever group of thugs that were governing China were broken (as far as I can understand, the promises were made only to gain time and put off the inevitable).

Now, The Spokesman-Review on June 10 published a story titled “Protest in Hong Kong.” More promises, but policies allowing extradition of political dissenters will be voted on soon. Hong Kong will have the same detestable fate as Tibet as will Taiwan, unless the world community says no! Our government needs to name China for what it in reality is: the threat to global security.

What can each of us do? Curtail purchasing products made in China!

Pay a little more and purchase from any other county in the world other than china. This poisonous serpent of a country must be defanged. Economically is a preferably alternative to war.
