Times - Free world challenge
The Chung Kuo Shih Pao (China Times) of November 20 said Chiao Kuan-hua's speech in the U.N. General Assembly was a challenge to the free world.
The paper said: "People like Chiao Kuan-hua have no ideas of their own. Political training teaches them to say what the Chinese Communists wish. It is a shame that such a person should supposedly represent the Chinese people at the United Nations.
"The Chinese Communists showed no gratitude to those nations which hope for peaceful coexistence and supported their bid for a U.N. seat. They announced they would try to create a 'third world' at the United Nations. Chiao said economic backwardness of Asian, African, and Latin American nations resulted from the exploitation of the 'imperialists.'
"The purpose of establishing the 'third world' is to counter the 'superpowers.' The Chinese Communists seek to destroy what they call the 'old imperialism and colonialism' and build their 'new imperialism and colonialism' and 'new power politics' to control the world. Shall we sit and wait "for their intrigues to succeed?"
The Lien Ho Pao (United Daily News) of November 17 said the first Chinese Communist speech in the U.N. General Assembly showed the wicked face of .
The paper said: "Peiping's delegate Chiao Kuan-hua bitterly attacked the , instigated Asian, African and American nations to counter the 'superpowers' and promoted 'world revolution.'
'The Chinese Communists have never regarded the United Nations as an instrument of international peace. They have assailed the United Nations as the 'tool of imperialism and colonialism' and a 'place controlled by the superpowers for international political trading.' Now the Reds are undertaking their own U.N. intrigues.
"Some free nations hoped that U.N. admission would end isolation of the Chinese Communists and lead to a dialogue which might reduce world tension. The first speech of Chiao Kuan-hua destroyed their dreams. Unless they wake up and deal with , the United Nations will be of no further use."
The English-language China News of November 18 said: "Chiao Kuan-hua, the 'deputy foreign minister' of the Peiping regime, listened to 57 welcoming speeches (including an unnecessary and hypocritical one by U.S. Ambassador George Bush) and then followed instructions from Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai to strike the first blows in the struggle to make over the U.N. in the Red Chinese image.
"Those free world countries which expressed shock and dismay have not seen anything yet.
"From repeal of the U.N. resolutions on Korea (which include one condemning the Chinese Communists for aggression), they will go on to challenge every objectionable U.N. action taken since October 1, 1949, when they announced their usurpation of the Chinese mainland.
"These brigands who claim to be a government and to rule the most populous country on earth are not without weapons in their undertakings to control or destroy the U.N.
"They have the veto in the Security Council. While they are catching up with the Russians in the use of 'Nyet,' the only teeth possessed by the U.N. will not be usable.
"U Thant's successor must be chosen. If he is not, the General Assembly and the Secretariat will be paralyzed.
"'s price of agreement to let the U.N. wheels turn will be selection of a secretary-general who will be sympathetic to its objectives. The chances of getting another Hammarskjold are nil.
"The U.N. is nothing. Already it is an anachronism and as meaningless as was the after the aggressions of the 1930s began.
"But the nations of the free world have pretended adherence to the U.N. ideal. They have preserved the organizational form, at least, in the hope that the cold war might be terminated and hot wars cooled down.
"Cynically, they have thought that in the meantime the U.N. was an objective to be taken through collaboration with Communists, neutralists and small states which could be deceived or bribed.
"The goal is to make the U.N. an in5trument of 'wars of liberation,' a phrase which means any conflict intended to install a tyranny similar to that on the Chinese mainland. People are to be enslaved by an elite - always, of course, in the name of the people, who no longer will have anything to call their own, not even their lives.
"For us, there can be no regets that the Chinese Communists have shown their true face at the U.N. so quickly. The sooner smiling diplomacy has been exposed as a trick the better.
"If the free world still has the courage of its supposed convictions, the eyes of President Nixon and other leaders soon must be opened to the realities and the prospects,"
The Lien Ho Pao of October 28 said: "With admitted to the United Nations, our struggle against them enters a new stage .
"The Chinese Communists are expanding infiltration and subversion the world over. Their main strategy is to drive a wedge between the and the Republic of China.
"Once goes to the United Nations, it will have increased opportunity to disturb relationships among the free world nations and recruit accomplices. They will claim that is an internal problem of ' in order to sever our relations with other free nations.
"In fighting back political stability and social security are very important for us. The government should strengthen our constitutional democracy and enhance our political appeal to the free world."
Central Daily News - pullout doubted
The Chung Yang Jih Pao (Central Daily News) of November 16 said military withdrawal doesn't mean pullout from .
The paper said: "The is speeding military withdrawal from . Some Asian nations fear President Nixon pans to pull out of without considering the consequences.
", and Khmer form the bulwark of free . If the Americans give up this line, Nixon will be the first American president ever to lose a war. The security of the will be undermined.
"We do not think the Americans will give up . They will leave a residual force in and continue the air war from bases in . The Nixon doctrine is to help Asian free nations defend themselves with American assistance.
"Communists of are having their own problems. If the governments of , and Khmer receive enough help from the , they can defeat the Communists."
The Shin Sheng Pao (New Life Daily News) of November 10 said: "The is carrying out Nixon's Asian policy. Military withdrawal and reduced economic aid have compelled free nations to seek peaceful settlements with the aggressors.
"Since the Chinese Communists began their smiling diplomacy, Americans have been dreaming of peace talks and some free nations have recognized the regime in the hope of enhancing their security. In reality, will never change its aggressive ambitions; it is using smile tactics to beguile and then invade neighbors.
"Peiping has supported with armaments and is trying to instigate war between and , The Chinese Reds are building a road in northern and preparing to invade .
"With the Chinese Communists strengthening their military power, Asia and especially the face the gravest crisis since World War II. support for free is weakening while the enemy is preparing for attack. However, Asians are not going to yield to Communist aggression even if they can no longer depend on their chief ally.
"The way to survival lies through dependence on their own strength. They should unite to bring about a new era for the free Asian people."
Times Two - faced diplomacy
The Chung Kuo Shih Pao of November 1 said President Nixon's twofaced diplomacy will cause trouble.
The paper said: "The U.N. vote on representation was influenced by Nixon's two-faced diplomacy. While U.S. Ambassador George Bush was fighting to keep the Republic of China in the U.N., Henry Kissinger went to to arrange Nixon's Yisit to the Chinese mainland.
"But the Nixon visit will not take place until next year, so it was not necessary for Kissinger to go to during the U.N. General Assembly session. His trip gave the impression that the was more eager to improve relations with ping than to preserve the U.N. seat of the Republic of China. How can the blame some nations for breaking promises to support the Republic of China when Nixon himself was cheating at diplomacy.
"For 21 years, the government opposed 's admission to the United Nations and defended the position of the Republic of China. Nixon changed the policy this year and, under the guise of facing reality, urged 'two Chinas' representation. He ignored the fact that 'two Chinas' was rejected by both the of China and the Maoists.
"Nixon seeks to normalize relations with . The Maoist regime regards this as surrender and the Republic of China considers that it has been abandoned by an ally. The world can only conclude that the Americans are lacking in principles.
"The Maoists want to expel American power from Asia so they can achieve their aggressive ambitions in the Far East President Nixon's policy of appeasing the Maoist regime is affecting U.S. friendship with free Asian countries. With the changes in policy, can the hope to control the variables in the world situation?"
The English-language China Post of November 6 said had been trying to downgrade President Nixon's planned visit to the Chinese mainland.
The paper said: "In the Chinese Communist capital there is nobody who wants a peace that can last long. They are merely waiting for Mr. Nixon to go there to have his surrender formalized. But the Chinese Communists sometimes can be very adroit negotiators. In dealing with Nixon they cannot very well use the word 'surrender." However, they can have their demands couched in such terms that Nixon will not think the Chinese Communists were too unreasonable. But the Communists cannot be expected to make concessions on vital points. In the end, they will tell Nixon, 'This is the best we can do. Take it or leave it."'
"Conceivably many such points will be reached in the course of the negotiations in and the Chinese Communists will always be in an advantageous position. Chou En-lai can easily hint at the fact that it was Nixon who first suggested the negotiations. In the case of a complete breakdown, the Chinese Communists will have nothing to worry about. All they have to do is tell the world that the American demands or suggestions are unreasonable and therefore unacceptable. President Nixon must try his best to avoid a breakdown. Some kind of agreement is better than no agreement at all. Such an agreement, if skillfully worded in a joint communique, may give Nixon's trip to Peiping a semblance of success which, from the American chief executive's point of view, may be helpful to a settlement in and a second term in the White House. All this, 0t course, is uncertain.
"Many people have advised President Nixon not to go to . In view of the aggressiveness and treacherousness of the Chinese Communists, if is useless to negotiate with them. Such concepts as peace, freedom and justice cannot be found in their dictionary. Why waste time and energy and then find it is impossible to reach an agreement? A joint communique to save face can be of no use to the Communists or the ."'
The Chung Kuo Shih Pao of November 15 said there is little likelihood of rapprochement with .
The paper said: "The Maoists will never change their mind about supporting the Viet Cong and , unless the Americans pull out of , talks will get nowhere.
"President Nixon has gained nothing from contacts with Chinese Communists. representation at the United Nations has given the Maoists new advantages. After a military uprising was suppressed in September, Chou En-lai invited Henry Kissinger to visit a second time, suppposedly to arrange the details of Nixon's visit. Actually, the Chinese Reds were using Kissinger's presence to rule out the possibility of Russian intervention
"So far Nixon's approaches to ring have undermined the anti-Communist front, damaged the confidence of allies and isolated ."
Post - Help for Yahya
The China Post of October 21 said is giving full backing to President Yahya Khan's government.
The paper said: "As relations between and worsen, the Peiping regime is stepping up delivery of aid supplies to to strengthen the latter's combat capability. About 100 lorries carrying aid commodities for both civilian and military use are reported moving daily from Sinkiang province of mainland to . Deliveries of weapons and other strategic materials by air and sea are on the increase. Transportation facilities between mainland and have been strengthened with opening of the new road through the Karakoram mountain range.
" has been very generous. Last November gave President Yahya Khan's government an interest-free loan of 1,000 million rupees, or US$207 million, in addition to the US$113 million given previously. US$20 million of the new loan was in cash to help ease financial stringency. A sugar mill near Larkana in West Pakistan and a refractory plant in the Northwest frontier province are included plus US$70 million for the procurement of commodities from mainland . As a further gesture, the Peiping regime recently turned over ownership of the branch office of Bank of China in to as a gift.
" has ample reason to give Yahya full backing. Peiping hopes can crush . is a center of the Islamic world and Peiping hopes to use the relationship to facilitate infiltration of the Arab countries In return for aid, Peiping has acquired a major outlet to Africa and the Middle East by way of "
The Shin Sheng Pao of November 3 said: " is under control of the leftists. President Yahya Khan has gradually fallen victim to 's intrigues. He recognized the regime and then signed an aviation agreement. He promised to let them build a strategic highway on territory and supported them internationally.
"The Chinese Communists hope to set up a beachhead in for infiltration of East Asia and the Middle East and make a roadway to . They back against and hope war between the two would be to their advantage.
"If war should come, tan may fall under control of the Chinese Communists.
"If and have regard for their future and the peace of , they will keep cool, stop shooting and open talks looking toward a peaceful settlement of differences."
United Daily News - President's leadership
The Lien Ho Pao of November 11 said the people of the Republic of China hope President Chiang Kai-shek will accept another term in office.
The paper said: "The Republic of China is facing a crisis. The first condition of survival is to strengthen ourselves so as to unite the people of the world in an anti-Communist front.
"Our defeat in the struggle with the Chinese Communists on the mainland was not due to military or economic reasons. The fault was with political leadership. If there had not been 'peace talks' with the Chinese Communists, President Chiang would not have temporarily left office and the Maoists could not have occupied the mainland.
"After the government moved to , President Chiang returned to office and we re-established an effective central government. The Chinese Communists have been trying to destroy us but have gotten nowhere in the last 22 years.
"Now the Reds are trying to isolate us. They think that if they can shake our central leading power, they can take even without fighting. We should be aware of 's intrigues. Persuading President Chiang to accept another term is the surest way to strengthen the leadership of our country."
New Life Daily News - Loss of confidence
The Shin Sheng Pao of November 8 said most Chinese Communist Party members have lost confidence in the Maoist regime.
The paper said: "The current struggle among Chinese Communist leaders has two aspects: (1) After Mao Tse-tung used the power of the armed forces to expel Liu Shao-chi, such military leaders as Lin Piao and others attained high positions 'in the ruling group. Now Mao Tse-tung is trying to take back power. (2) After a long period of anti-Americanism, Chinese Communist Party members are puzzled by plans for Nixon's visit. Lin Piao strongly opposed the new policy.
"Lin Piao lost his struggle. However, this means a new storm rather than the end of turmoil. Even if the military forces yield, Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai cannot control the Chinese Communist Party.
"Lin Piao's loss of power not only involves his position as Mao's successor but also the future of the armed forces. Military leaders will unite to support Lin Piao against Chou En-lai and persist in an anti-American policy.
"An article published by Red Flag and seen in says the invitation to President Nixon runs counter to the Anti-American policy laid down by the 9th Chinese Communist Party Congress in 1969. The people are puzzled, the cadres are angry and military leaders are becoming neowarlords. The Chinese Communists are speeding to their own destruction."
