The Shin Sheng Pao (New Life Daily News) said November 21 that the General Assembly vote in favor of the Albanian resolution to seat Peiping in the United Nations was an act of appeasement.
The paper said: "Seating of the Peiping regime and expulsion of the Republic of China would destroy the United Nations and end all hope of world peace. After 20 years, it is obvious that Communism can never be permanently established among the Chinese people.
"The Peiping regime will be overthrown by the peace-loving and freedom-loving Chinese people. The Republic of China has always sided with democracy. Its sacred mission of recovering the Chinese mainland and bringing peace, freedom and democracy to all the Chinese people will not be aborted by any attempt to appease the Chinese Communists."
Commenting on the same subject, the Chung Hua Jih Pao (China Daily News) said November 21: "Universality has been advanced as an excuse for seating the Peiping regime in the U.N. Yet the Albanian resolution to seat Peiping and expel the Republic of China is clearly contrary to the principle of universality. The Republic of China is a peace-loving democratic member of the U.N. The Peiping regime is an aggressor. Its aim is to communize the world, contrary to the principle of universality, which implies peaceful cooperation among all nations, whether democratic or Communist.
"The Republic of China's recovery of the Chinese mainland is the only way to achieve world peace. Appeasement of the Peiping regime will only create world turmoil and chaos."
The Lien Ho Pao (United Daily News) said November 23 that appeasement of the Chinese Communists is a betrayal of the whole free world.
The paper said: "Seating of the Peiping regime in the U.N. was prevented by invoking the two-thirds rule on China representation. The current of appeasement is growing stronger both inside and outside the U.N. This betrays not only the Republic of China but the whole free world. The continued growth of appeasement could bring about another Dark Age.
"Today's appeasement contains no flavor of idealism. There is an overdose of pragmatism.
"Recognition and appeasement of the Peiping regime mean that some nations have abandoned principles of justice, freedom and moral courage. The naked pragmatism remaining is concerned only with personal ambitions for political power and meager trade benefits. Today's mistakes will become tomorrow's tragedy for all free peoples.
"The arch enemy of the free world is the Maoist Communists who are determined to enslave mankind. To make friends with them is impossible. The Second Plenum of the Ninth National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party called for intensification of the struggle of the Albanian people, the people of the three countries of Indochina, the Korean people, the Japanese people, the people of Palestine, the Arab people, the proletariat, the enslaved masses and the enslaved peoples against U.S. imperialism, Soviet revisionism and the world's reactionaries. All the world is the enemy and target of the Maoist Communists.
"Today's international situation hangs between two extremes. On the one hand there is the firm anti-Communist struggle. On the other there is the open-door policy toward the Communists. On the one hand there is determination to destroy Communism. On the other is the effort to bring the Maoist Communists into the world community and facilitate their subversion of world peace. On the one hand is recognition that the Maoist rule of the Chinese mainland and of 700 million Chinese people is tyrannical. On the other is the claim that Mao represents the will of the Chinese people. Appeasement advocates cannot tell the difference between good and evil.
"The world eventually will walk toward humanity and freedom. But appeasement has encouraged the enemy. The need is for the free world to fight back against the aggressor. The struggle for Communism must be opposed by the anti-Communist struggle. The Communist struggle combines treachery and evil goals. The anti-Communist struggle is to ensure human rights and freedom. The Republic of China must stand firm in a world in which appeasement and chaos are prevailing over justice. The Republic of China must struggle and create a stronger force of anti-Communism to change the world situation and stop expansion of appeasement and Communist aggression."
The English-language China News said November 23 that the Republic of China is trying to save the United Nations from destruction by the Chinese Communists.
The paper said: "How could the Albanian resolution have passed by 51 to 49 while the two-thirds rule was being invoked by a count of 66 to 52 in the UN. voting on China representation?
"The answer is to be found in the list of 25 abstainers. Of these, 14 recognize the Republic of China.
"Four are in Africa-Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic and Senegal. Four are in Latin America-Bolivia, Ecuador, Jamaica and Peru. Three are in Europe-Cyprus, Luxembourg and Portugal. The final three are of the Middle East-Iran, Kuwait and Lebanon.
"If only half of these non-voters had opposed the Albanian resolution, the Communists would have been defeated by 56 to 51.
"Ten of the 14 voted in favor of the two-thirds rule. Two (Cameroon and Portugal) abstained and two others (Kuwait and Peru) were opposed.
"The figures would seem to indicate that the Republic of China has plenty of room for diplomatic maneuvering during the year before the next vote.
"Possibly we have reason to complain that the United States didn't help by its shift from a strategy of opposing the Chinese Communists to one of defending the ROC. Some countries are under the impression that the United States would like to see Peiping seated.
"The Republic of China is obliged to depend upon its own resources and fight its own battles. From a position of strength, we can look Americans straight in the eye and tell them that if they try to put the Chinese Communists in the U.N., they will be destroying their own world position of moral leadership.
"Some voices of defeatism are already heard from abroad. Communist propagandists have begun to spread stories that the Republic of China is going to leave the U.N. There will be more such reports in the months to come. Communist and some non-Communist sources will talk of the 'inevitability' of Peiping's U.N. admission next year.
"Communists want us to retreat. to resign ourselves to defeat. Their victory would be more than a matter of United Nations membership.
"The Republic of China can live without the United Nations. This, however, is not the point in defending our seat. We are fighting the Communists and trying to save the United Nations itself. We are taking a stand on principle and against expediency and appeasement.
"Peiping has more to gain from U.N. admission than we have to lose from expulsion. The struggle, in other words, is part and parcel of that to defeat the Communists and liberate the 700 million people of the mainland, to restore freedom and democracy to continental China and peace to Asia."
China Post - Bombing N. Vietnam
The English-language China Post of November 24 approved resumption of U.S. air attacks on North Vietnam.
The paper said: "The United States resumed bombing of air bases in North Vietnam in retaliation against attacks on unarmed American reconnaissance aircraft. It was certainly the right thing to do.
"The only way to bring about settlement of the Vietnam war is to bomb North Vietnam into submission. The Communists want U.S. unconditional surrender. If doves in the United States, including leftists and traitors, have their way and all American forces are withdrawn from South Vietnam, the Communists will march in and take over."
Commenting on the same subject, the China News said November 23: "Retaliatory bombing raids against North Vietnam suggest that President Nixon considers his position in international affairs to have been strengthened in the off-year elections.
"The protests from Hanoi are not nearly so important as those heard in the U.S. Senate, where J. William Fulbright, Mike Mansfield and Edmund Muskie are already criticizing President Nixon's orders to bomb North Vietnamese missile and antiaircraft installations south of the 19th parallel.
"The White House has to have a majority In the Senate to pass the US$1 billion in additional aid requested for Cambodia, South Vietnam, Korea and Israel.
"Instead of attempting to placate the Senate doves, President Nixon has decided to meet them head on. Fulbright, Mansfield and Muskie, et al., will direct their disapproval of the bombing against the readily visible target of the aid bill.
"Nixon believes he has the ideological votes in the Senate to win.
"If he does, a tougher U.S. stance in Southeast Asia may result."
The Lien Ho Pao said November 28 that the United States should resume large-scale bombing of North Vietnam.
The paper said: "Renewed bombing of North Vietnam and attempt to rescue American POWs indicate the Vietnam war situation is worsening. This is due to continuing withdrawals of U.S. troops from South Vietnam and the mistake of terminating the bombing raids two years ago.
"Further aggressive action by the North Vietnamese can be expected, including the shooting down of unarmed U.S. reconnaissance planes and the deployment of heavy artillery and tanks in Cambodia and Vietnam. This will make it necessary for the United States to resume the bombing of North Vietnam.
"The futile attempt to rescue American POWs has served to alert the North Vietnamese. Prisoners may be moved to military bases, scattered among various concentration camps or even moved to mainland China. The Communists may use the POWs in an attempt to blackmail Washington.
"Large-scale bombings are required to compel the Communists to make peace at Paris."
The Shin Sheng Pao said November 26 that U.S. bombing of North Vietnam should be continued and intensified.
The paper said: "Termination of the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam was supposed to lead to peace at Paris. This has not happened. Attempts to negotiate with the Communists have only worsened the war situation.
"The United States must fight the Communists with a policy of strength. Bombing of North Vietnam should be continued and intensified so as to win a military victory and compel the Communists to make peace."
Central Daily News - Help for Khmer
The Chung Yang Jih Pao (Central Daily News) said December 2 that military aid must be given to the Khmer Republic (Cambodia) now.
The paper said: "Vietnam, Thailand and Khmer constitute the front· line defense against Communist aggression. Situated between South Vietnam and Thailand, Khmer must not fall into Communist hands.
"The people of Khmer are strongly anti-Communist. The so-called Camboge Rouge total only about 5,000 men. Most populated areas of the country are under government control. The free world should extend arms aid to Phnom Penh.
"The security of Southeast Asia and the progress of Vietnamization depend upon the security of Khmer."
The China News of December 16 also urged U.S. assistance to Khmer: "Senator Fulbright's negative vote notwithstanding, the U.S. Senate approved President Nixon's request for US$250 million to help Khmer.
"Inclusion of a clause forbidding the use of American ground forces does not water down the approval.
"President Nixon said flatly at his press conference that there are no foreseeable circumstances under which American troops would be returned to Khmer.
"Prohibition of ground troops has been voted by the Senate twice already, although the bills are held up by disinclination of the House of Representatives to tie the President's bands in what seems to be a contravention of constitutional intent.
"It is clear, however, that President Nixon intends to rely upon arms and economic aid plus airpower to defend Khmer. He is now firmly committed to the program of Vietnam withdrawal and well aware of the political storm that any dispatch of troops to the interior of Khmer would entail.
"The question is whether U.S. help is going to be too little and too late.
"Forces of the Lon Nol government have had some successes and met with some reverses in recent fighting. Phnom Penh's ground communications with the rest of Cambodia are unstable.
"Now that the Fulbright objections have been brushed aside, the Congress may be able to expedite action on President Nixon's request.
Cambodian morale needs the lift it would receive from passage of the U.S. appropriation bill and quick establishment of a larger military assistance pipeline."
China Times - Learning from Lao.
Commenting on the Asian Parliamentarians Union meeting in Saigon, the Chung Kuo Shih Pao (China Times) said December 14 that Malaysia should learn from Laos.
The paper said: "The Geneva convention pledging the neutrality of Laos did not safeguard that country from Communist aggression.
"Malaysia is disregarding Communist infiltration and subversion and attempting to appease the Communists by advocating the neutralization of Southeast Asia. Its refusal to participate in the Asian Parliamentarians Union meeting indicates a pro-Communist trend and betrayal of Asia's security and peace.
"A prerequisite to a neutral Southeast Asia is a strong defense capability. Malaysia has not even been able to protect itself against Communist subversion and infiltration. Malaysia's neutrality plan is a pronouncement of surrender to Communist aggression."
The Shin Sheng Pao said December 10 that a united front against Communism must be established.
The paper said: "Communism has plagued Asia for two decades. Free Asian nations must unite behind an anti-Communist front instead of working at cross purposes.
"Asian Communism is international. Its threats must be combatted by international efforts. The fight against Communism requires determination and cooperation to resist aggression and reject appeasement.
"Anti-Communist Asians expect concrete results from the Asian Parliamentarians Union meeting. They want a strong organization to lead the way toward an Asian united front against Communism."
China News - N. in South Korea
The China News of December 10 said the U.N. presence in South Korea is a barrier to further Communist aggression.
The paper said: 'This 25th session of the United Nations General Assembly had Its brightest day yet with the upholding of the U.N. role in Korea.
"The vote was 67 to 28 with 22 abstentions. Erosion of support from 1969 was slight. Last year there were 70 votes in favor and 26 against with 21 abstentions.
"It is in relation to Korea that the United Nations has come closest to being the force for international peace and justice that was intended.
"Only Communist intransigence prevented the unification of Korea under the auspices of the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea.
"North Korea still refuses to admit UNCURK personnel. But U.N. representatives have remained in the South and make annual reports on the Republic of Korea, which was established in 1948 after the North rejected international authority and unification.
"North Koreans (and subsequently Chinese Communists) marched south in 1950.
"The U.N. responded with establishment of an international army and command. These have been watered down since the armistice of 1953 but their continuing token existence is a barrier to further Communist aggression.
"All but forgotten today is the fact that the Korean United Nations Command would never have been established if the Soviet Union had been present at the Security Council in the summer of 1950. The Russians had taken their famous walk and there was no veto. France and the United Kingdom sent troops to Korea; the Republic of China offered to do so.
'That this couldn't happen today is tragic. The U.N. now must mark time until the world situation has changed to a point where Communism can be controlled.
"Even so, it is encouraging that a substantial majority of U.N. members refuses to make compromises with what is right in Korea. Let us hope that some of this courage to stand up and be counted rubs off on the China representation issue the next time it is raised."
China Post - War preparations
The China Post said December 17 that all natural and human resources on the China mainland are being channeled into preparations for war.
The paper said: "Travelers from the Chinese mainland report that the Peiping regime has launched a campaign for blood donations to be sent to Indochina to help 'class brothers fighting there against American imperialists.' Those who contribute are allowed to buy meat, edible oil, vitamins, etc.
"The blood drive is an example of the all-out efforts the Chinese Reds are making to support North Vietnam and the Viet Congo It also calls attention to Peiping's endeavors 'to step up preparations for war, take precaution against famine and support the revolutionary peoples all over the world in their struggle for liberation.' All mainland natural and human resources are being channeled into military conquest."
Commenting on the defection of a North Korean pilot and recent Communist atrocities against South Korea, the Lien Ho Pao warned of North Korean intentions to invade South Korea.
The paper said: "North Korea's economy has not progressed according to plan. U.S. determination to withdraw troops from South Korea has led to new tensions. Peiping and North Korea appear to be planning renewed aggression against the South. North Korean artillery shelling may be a prelude to such an attack.
"With the North Korean pilot's defection, serious retaliation is to be expected."
The Shin Sheng Pao said: "North Korea's attacks on South Korean villages after the defection of a North Korean pilot implies Communist hopes of starting a war to be coordinated with that in Southeast Asia. The ultimate aim is an 'anti-U.S. united front' as proposed by Peiping. To prevent formation of such a front, the Allies should intensify bombing of North Vietnam."
The Chung Kuo Shih Pao Said December 8 that Communist aggression will be intensified.
The paper said: 'The formation of a Moscow-Peiping united front in Indochina presages intensification of Communist war efforts in that region. Peiping-Moscow cooperation was encouraged by Malaysia's change of policy on China representation at the U.N.
"The Chinese and Russian Communists will oppose Vietnamization and try to exploit the Indochina situation to their own advantage. Their cooperation can only make things worse for free Asia.
"Moscow fears firm Maoist control of the Chinese mainland. Peiping fears Russian interference. But they are taking first steps toward the anti-U.S. united front proposed by Peiping."
China News - Advice for Philippines
The China News of December 16 urged the Philippines to eschew ties with Communism.
The paper said: "What will it profit the Philippines to have relations with the Communist bloc and sacrifice its security?
"President Marcos has said security must be safeguarded in the establishment of diplomatic ties with the Soviet Union - or other Communist countries.
"He must know that is impossible.
"Russia wants to turn the Philippines into another Cuba. Some raw material is readily available.
"The Huks have never been suppressed. Areas of northern Luzon are under their control.
"If Huks have taken help from the Chinese Communists, that is because it was available. The Russians were not there.
"Huks are not unlike Fidel Castro's Communists; they will take what they can get where they can get it and worry about ideology later.
"A Russian presence in the Philippines inevitably would benefit and encourage the Huks. Surely President Marcos doesn't believe that the Kremlin wants to support Philippines democracy.
"Manila hopes to play the Russians off against the Americans, who are regarded as too colonial-minded. With all due respect to the anti-Americanism of the Filipinos, this is a dangerous game.
"The United States is sometimes overbearing in its attitudes toward the Philippines and retains colonial era privileges. Nevertheless, Americans have no further political ambitions there. They have no ideology to export.
"None of Khrushchev's shrimps has yet whistled. Current rulers of the Kremlin have not retreated from the Russian Communist goal of exporting the Soviet system to the world.
"Moscow is prepared to expend considerable sums of money developing Philippines industries which the United States has not seen fit to support. This will not be free. The price will be opportunity to infiltrate and subvert, to promote a Philippines revolution of the left.
"Already sorely troubled by Communists and other leftists, the Philippines will augment its peril by inviting the Russians and other Communists into its parlor.
"President Marcos shouldn't miss reading the Khrushchev memoirs, in which Nikita claims he won the showdown with John F. Kennedy by exacting a promise that the United States would not attack Cuba.
"What turns one's blood cold is Khrushchev's boast that the Soviet Union had completed missile installations and was ready to destroy New York, Chicago and the 'small town' of Washington. The former Kremlin boss leaves no doubt that he was prepared to push the button.
"Kosygin and Brezhnev are made of sterner stuff than Khrushchev. They are not appropriate partners for the Philippines."
New Life Daily News - Warning from Poland
The Shin Sheng Pao said December 18 that riots in Poland provide new evidence of Communism's failure.
The paper said: "Anti-Communist rioting has been reported in Poland and Tibet. Riots in the Polish cities of Gdansk, Gydnia and Sopot are aimed not only at price increases but at Communist tyranny itself. Reports from Tibet indicate the city of Lhasa is surrounded by anti-Communists. Many young men have been executed for anti-Communist activities.
"Large scale anti-Communist uprisings have occurred in Hungary and Tibet. Czechoslovakia's recent anti-Communist liberalization movement and the present Polish riots are indications that Communism is losing control of its slave system.
"Appeasement advocates should take warning. The free world must offer moral and material assistance to those struggling against Communist tyranny."
