An Enemy of the People: An Open Letter

Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong

Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the United States

Dear Ambassador Wenzhong,

May I call you "Zhou"?

I have come across an insidious attack against the People's Revolution that you must be made aware of! An American website, Blognomicon, has been posting subversive counterrevolutionary propaganda with intent to undermine the legitimate and beloved-by-the-people's government. This includes altered photographs doctored by enemies of the Class Struggle to mask the insidious attacks on the People's Revolutionary Army by the reactionary traitors of the Falun Gong cult.

Please notify Google-China that such breaches in the ability of the Party to protect the workers and peasants from Western cultural hegemony must cease immediately!

Oh, and by the way: Sorry about this. I was thinking improperly, but I have since been reeducated.

Yours in the glorious struggle...

I cannot believe Google. What a waste of an internet Giant. I once thought the internet would be THE worldwide beacon of free-speech. And then comes the tyrants, both foreign and domestic.

And off-topic, I finally posted my weekly 2A feature with Open Trackbacks. It would be very pleasing to have several 2A blogs participate, it would help exposure.

Here is a tasty little treat for you David. Posted it on Blognimicon as well. Are you ready?

(Pay particular attention to the 2nd to last paragraph - let me know if you figure out that 'Political System'!)

China issues 1st white paper on democracy(10/19/05)

(Full Document can be found here; http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/zt/zgrq/t217337.htm)


The Information Office of China's State Council issued on October 19 a white paper on China's political democracy, vowing to actively push forward the reforms of its political system although, it said, tremendous achievements had been scored in this regard.

The white paper, issued by the Information Office of China's State Council, or the cabinet, is the first of its kind in China, giving a detailed account of the inception, development and contents of the socialist political democracy and the principles the country will abide by.

The document, titled Building of Political Democracy in China, also points out the problems the country has to overcome and major steps to be taken in the reforms of its political system.

The socialist political democracy "is the apt choice suited to China's conditions and meeting the requirement of social progress," said the white paper.

Such democracy has enabled the Chinese people, who account for one fifth of the world's population, "to become masters of their own country and society, and enjoy extensive democratic rights, " the white paper says.

In building socialist political democracy, China has always adhered to the basic principle that the Marxist theory of democracy be combined with the reality of China, it says.

In the process, China has also borrowed from the useful achievements of the political civilization of mankind, including Western democracy, and assimilated the democratic elements of fromChina's traditional culture and institutional civilization.

"Therefore, China's socialist political democracy shows distinctive Chinese characteristics," says the white paper.

Such characteristics are as follows:

-- China's democracy is a people's democracy under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

-- China's democracy is a democracy in which the overwhelming majority of the people act as masters of State affairs.

-- China's democracy is a democracy guaranteed by the people's democratic dictatorship.

-- China's democracy is a democracy with democratic centralism as the basic organizational principle and mode of operation.
