			       Crocodile's Tears

       Why did the Chinese Withhold Veto in the Security Council Again?

				By Wang Ruowang


	Since when have the Chinese Communists become so charitable and
benevolent?  On August 13th, the delegate from China, one of the five permanent
members on the U.N.  Security Council, abstained his vote on the resolution to
authorize use of force in Bosnia, if necessary, to safeguard the passage of
humanitarian aids to the besieged nation.  The Chinese delegate, Lee Daoyu
explained:  "Beijing agrees with the resolution in principle to find suitable
means to provide humanitarian assistance to the Balkan region, but disagrees
that the United Nations should resort to use of force.	The very reason for
which the humanitarian aid has so much trouble reaching the area is due to the
continuing escalation of military conflicts.  Use of force by the United
Nations will only worsen the situation and make the international relief effort
more difficult than it is."

	The United Nations Resolution 771 strongly condemns the systemic
"ethnic cleansing" policy carried out by the Bosnian Serbs in violation of
international laws.  Lee dodged the issue and referred to the Serbian genocidal
expansionism as "escalation of military conflicts."  He wouldn't point out that
the initiator of the "conflicts" is the Serbian militia armed by the former
hardline communist leadership in Yugoslavia.  The Beijing representative's
peculiar behavior and eccentric theory exposed the true intent of the Chinese
Communists who merely want to help cover up the worst war crime ever committed
since World War II and also to expand hardline Stalinist communism.

	There is more than just ideology shared by the Chinese and the Serbian
military machine.  According to investigations conducted by Wall Street Journal
and several other major American newspapers last November, Beijing has sold to
the Yugoslavian armed forces a half billion dollars worth of weaponry, e.g.
cannons, missiles, AK-47 rifles, rocket launchers, Armored Personnel Carriers,
and so on.  Accounts given by credible sources, including the former governor
of Minnesota, Rudi Perpich, and Hungarian Economic Attach in Washington, D.C.,
Dr.  Istvan Mohacsi, indicate that blood money has definitely changed hands.
In reality, the Chinese Communists have already taken part in the Balkan
massacres.  It is incredible that the criminal BLACK HANDS (a term the Chinese
routinely use to label their opponents) of the Chinese Stalinists could have
reached a place that far away!

	There is nothing in the world more hypocritical than the official line
from Lee.  The truth of the matter is the Beijing regime did not dare to abuse
its veto power to avoid being further isolated in the international community
and risk the possibility of losing the Most- Favored-Nation trade status from
the United States.  It chose to stay "neutral" and twice abstain to please all
parties concerned.

	It was, in fact, not the first time that the Chinese Communists have
left such a glamourless track record.  It was no coincidence that Beijing also
abstained its vote for the blockade and use of force against Iraq after it
brutally invaded of Kuwait last year.  Its biased statement in defense of the
aggressor, the Iraqis, made all of us Chinese ashamed.

	The foreign policy of the Chinese authoritarian regime has always been
this way and its domestic policies are not any less deplorable.  Let us
temporarily agree with Lee's sermon that "use of force only leads to more
trouble" and ask why the Chinese government did not advocate the same theme
when it moved tanks and troops into Tian'anmen Square against the hundreds of
thousands of unarmed students.	While the majority of the Security Council is
determined to implement its resolution by the threat of force to hinder the
Serbian aggression, the Chinese Communists insist on non-intervention.	Their
irrational stance turns them into accomplices of Serbian murderers.

	From the persistent misconduct of the tyrants in Beijing, we have every
reason to believe that their bizarre domestic and foreign policies did not
simply come from the "PATRIARCH AND OLD GUARDS" who have lost touch with
reality, but from the immoral doctrine of Stalinism.  To save their own skins
and the last scrap of communism, they are willing to wage war against the
Chinese people, defy international reproach, and even slaughter innocent
civilians in China and Bosnia.

	Benevolence of the "official statement" and bloody arms sales can
co-exist; abstention of a disruptive veto and complicity in murder can be
symbiotic; so long as the BLACK HANDS can continue to deceive the United
Nations and the rest of the world!
