Raining on the Chinese Parade

Not that I want to provoke World War III, but there are actively ongoing nefarious activities and agendas of Wasp's Demons to subtly subvert the March of Progress of the Chinese in our newfound confidence and momentum in the 21st Century that need diligent monitoring and containment, if this March is not to be derailed or impeded.

I desire very much to intensely focus on the splendid results of the Chinese/Wasp collaborations throughout the world and planned to deal first with the remarkable merits of the Wasp's Angels that had contributed directly and/or acted as invaluable catalysts to Chinese Advancement.

But, the insidious "forces" of the Demons constantly raising their ugly heads convinced me that these evil influences must always be kept in close cognisant, even as we savour the goodness of the Angels. As a Chinese, more so a naked one, the fundamental principles of "Ying-and-Yang" embedded in me dictates that naturally I would adopt this stance.

Let us map out some of the contours of these demonic subterfuges. October 1st this year marked the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. Great celebrations and jaw-dropping pageantries were held throughout China. Guess who rained on this Parade?

On October 2nd, an odious article in content and timing about the spectre of a blot in the present Government's rise to power in China appeared in a leading newspaper in Wasp Land.

This article reported on very heart-wrenching episodes that purportedly occurred in a certain part of China in the second half of 1948, sixty-one years ago. At around that time, probably there were many other similarly heart-wrenching stories in other parts of China held by the alternate govenment then of the Nationalists and those atrocities perpetrated by the cruel Japanese occupiers only just some years earlier.

Probably around the world, at that time, all over Asia, Africa and South America, untold sufferings and miseries were inflicted for one reason or another or other tragedies just broke out for no other reason than a change of the signs the times - culural or religious boundaries shifted, new Warlords ascended to power, etc, etc.

This writer of the article chose that particular part of China at that particular time and published on the 2nd October just a day after the Big Day for China and prideful Chinese throughout the world, for what and whose agenda? Not only that. Probably writing in the comfort of his New York abode, understanding only his millieu of advance civillization of the 21st Century where every thing is well established and stable, the writer applied the high standards of decency of an advanced society in his comparisons and expectations to a wretched part of the world at a wretched time.

The writer also appeared to have trusted and relied upon interviews of rural Chinese peasants between their late 70s to mid 80s and recorded vague and emotional memories of theirs as though they were drawing their memories from erudite diaries kept by highly educated present day New Englanders.

At the time the writer referred to in 1948, the Chinese were in utter humiliation and pain and they were expected to do the correct and decent thing expected by this writer. Not only were the Japanese wreaking havoc in many parts of China, various European powers were annexing territorities and demanding trading concessions tilted to the disadvantage of the Chinese. Foremost in the mind of the Chinese then, must be the regaining of its Dignity and Pride.

I do not believe for one moment we Chinese are murderous people, as insinuated by the writer just because certain things were not done or said. If those claims were true even in some lesser way, I am sure all Chinese would regret them and ensure they will not happen again.

The writer, if not serving the agenda of Demons, should learn more about Chinese History and Life in general before ever writing again.

I now look forward to write about the Angels.
