-Caveat Lector- newwsmax.com Communist China - Our Avowed Mortal Enemy - Endorses Gore http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=200 0/10/17/115322 10-18-00 The leadership of Communist China, which threatened to launch a nuclear strike on the U.S. in 1996 and again this spring, has come out strongly against the presidential candidacy of Texas governor George Bush - a tacit endorsement of Vice President Al Gore. A commentary appearing Tuesday in the government-run newsmagazine Beijing Review warned that Bush's China policies "would produce grave results if he won the election and became master of the White House." Beijing Review is published by the State Council, the Chinese version of a presidential Cabinet. The report, co-authored by a researcher from China's National Defense University, said "war would be inevitable" if Bush tried to intervene militarily in any attack by the People's Liberation Army on Taiwan, a longtime U.S. ally. Bush has in the past criticized the Clinton-Gore administration's depiction of China as a "strategic partner," calling China an "adversary" instead. Particularly troublesome for Beijing is Bush's pledge to deploy missile defense systems that would protect Taiwan as well as the U.S. from any missile attack. In 1995 and 1996, Beijing lobbed unarmed nuclear capable missiles across the Taiwan Straits, prompting the U.S. to dispatch the 6th Fleet to the region. Defense officials later told the Washington Post that tensions were much higher than the administration publicly acknowledged at the time. As the 6th Fleet steamed across the Pacific, longtime Clinton friend Charlie Trie intervened on China's behalf, counseling the president to avoid any further provocative action. Clinton apparently took the advice. Three years later Trie pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations after several hundred thousand dollars he donated to the Clinton Defense Fund and other Democratic causes was traced to the Bank of China. In 1996, Chinese military intelligence tried to recruit Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung in a plot to funnel $300,000 to Clinton, Gore and the Democrats. "We like your president, we want to see him re-elected," Chung says Gen. Ji Shengde told him. Gore's own political rise has been fueled by his longtime association with Maria Hsia, who's been raising campaign cash for the vice president since 1988 and who organized Gore's notorious April 1996 Buddhist temple fund raiser. In May, Hsia pleaded guilty to five felony counts related to the Buddhist temple event. In 1997, the FBI identified Hsia as a "Chinese agent" who was "doing the bidding of Beijing," according to a Washington Post report by Watergate sleuth Bob Woodward. Details from the Beijing Review editorial were first reported by ABC News. http://www.imagemuse.com/ ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
