The Chinese people are very intimidated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This fear is a direct result of the CCP's dictatorship, which has prevailed over the past six decades. It seems that many governments of democratic countries in the West are also stricken with fear of the CCP.
Certain government officials, in particular, are absolutely not forthcoming with their opinion of the CCP. Even amongst friends, when talking about vital issues, some officials request that their friends turn off their cell phones before they are willing to engage in a serious discussion.
Are these Western officials afraid of the CCP, due to their lack of knowledge about it? No. Actually, many of them know quite a lot about the CCP. So, what has made them so fearful of the CCP?
Is it because they are asking for economic or political favors from the CCP, so their hands are tied? This is possible, but not the fundamental cause. For example, the U.S. government also asks for favors from other Western countries, yet it is not afraid to speak up when things are not going well.
You Can't Touch Me!
In Western society, the police are the law enforcement entity that is charged with restricting scoundrels. However, with regard to dealing with China, even though Western leaders know that the CCP conducts itself like a scoundrel, there is no law enforcement agency that can intervene, and there is no recourse for restitution through any court of law. Such a scoundrel can do just about anything, and even when one cries out for help, there is no source of help available. This is a scary thought. Clearly, some Western government officials act especially cautious, curbing their moral outrage, in light of favors to be gained, rather than risking the wrath of the CCP.
The CCP opportunely takes advantage of such fear, behaving even more brazenly, thoroughly exploiting given situations.
The Sydney Morning Herald recently published an article entitled, "Murdoch's China Dream Shattered." In this article, Bruce Dover, News Corp's former Asian Director of Business Development, spoke about Murdoch's loss of at least one billion dollars, or half of his investment in China's media market. Murdoch's huge success with the markets of Europe, the United States, and Australia could not translate into success in China's media market, precisely because his capabilities could not prevail over the dictates of scoundrels.
The Murdoch example is one in which a Westerner walked right into the CCP's trap. Of course, the CCP does not hesitate to send its scoundrels overseas to carry out personal attacks. Recently, several female Chinese Consulate staff, wrote letters to U.S. government officials slandering Falun Gong, and urging them not to attend the Divine Performing Arts Troupe's performances.
U.S. government officials have no effective way to deal with such shameless acts, other than tossing the letters into the recycling bin. Who could they report these to? No one holds the Chinese government accountable for its rakish actions.
Disarming the Scoundrel
There is a potentially good way to deal with the Chinese government, although Westerners might not feel comfortable with it. The approach would be to completely expose the scoundrel's acts. Those who have lived under a totalitarian regime can attest to the effectiveness of this direct approach.
Policing and filing lawsuits would achieve nothing. All that needs to be done is to publicize all evidence against the scoundrel. Everyone would have to comply, in order to fully expose the scoundrel for what it is. All of society should know about the infractions, and talk about them.
Although this approach does not fit neatly within the culture of Western democratic countries, it is the most effective method to employ against the CCP. The more its actions are publicized, the less it is inclined to act like a scoundrel that knows it can get away with its actions.
The CCP has a saying, "I am the scoundrel, who should I fear?" That being the case, concerned governments need to share with, supplement, and learn from each other. If everyone were to publicize the morally reprehensible acts of the CCP, the world would formulate its own conclusions. Consequently, the CCP would be intimidated by the upright, honest people of strong conscience in democratic societies.
