The Chinese Embassy in the U.S. Spends Large Amounts of Money to Hire Local Chinese Associations to Welcome Jiang
(Clearwisdom.net) In order to create the false impression that Chinese
people are happy about dictator Jiang's visit, the Chinese Embassy in the United
States spent large amounts of money to hire representatives of local Chinese
associations to publish full page advertisements and articles in Chinese
newspapers during the time leading up to his visit. Furthermore, these
associations were ordered not to reveal who hired them.
On October 11 the Central News Agency reported that Jiang would visit the
United States between October 22 and 25. He would visit Houston on October 23
and 24 and would meet with President Bush at his ranch in Crawford on October
25.
In Dallas, the people from Mainland China who are connected to the Party
formed a "Committee of Overseas Chinese Associations and Scholars in
Northern Texas Welcoming Chinese President Jiang Zemin to Texas." The
General Director, Sun Cheng, is an honorary youth committee member of the Party
in "The Union of Overseas Chinese."
The Chinese Consulate in Houston began mobilizing overseas Chinese
associations several months ago. The Chinese Consulate provided the money and
overseas Chinese associations contributed people and energy in order to complete
the "mission" of welcoming Jiang.
But in order to fully create the false image that the overseas Chinese
associations are "actively and spontaneously" welcoming Jiang, the
Chinese Embassy ordered the representatives of these overseas Chinese
associations not to reveal who hired them.
In addition, since last week, the Party began to publish a section entitled
"Welcome Chinese President Jiang to Texas - A Special Edition Reviewing the
Sino-America Relationship" in all Chinese media. They planned to continue
publishing this until Jiang arrived in Texas.
In Dallas, the person responsible for disseminating propaganda for the Party
even threatened one Chinese newspaper and said, "This article is bound to
be welcomed by readers. You will "see" whether it gets published or
not!" The editor of this newspaper expressed that it was obvious this
person had forgotten he was on United States soil, where freedom and democracy
are practiced, as opposed to China where the media is solely controlled by the
government and serves as the mouthpiece for the Party. |
