Mao sponsors the Communists of the White Flag in that country, conducting almost open warfare against the government. The 1200 miles of Burma-Chin- a border provide the main outlet for heroin, into the profitable Western world markets. claims he is not involved. According to Man Li, crude opium is produced by peasants in southern China, shipped to the Canton area where it ' is processed into the distinctive brown-sugform, then shipped out through various channels. In Canadian and American Chinese circles it is well known that Chinese from the PRC slip into North America for the double purposes of marketing heroin and promoting the many movements subsidized here by Maoists. Sui Weng-w- u Wu Lin Chin-shanwere convicted in the New Y ork case. Sui admitted - that he even went back to China several times after obtaining. USA citizenship papers, bringing with him ordinary goods for a shop, plus hidden heroin supplies. All three men admitted they were sent by China. In a memo of the USA Department of Justice, public but somehow overlooked by our press, an outline is given of tremendous opium-heroi- n production in Yunan province of China; no one questions that the heroin sold here comes from the Peoples Republic of China. a In a later New York case Yuan Sheng-kunqualified electronics engineer, admitted" that he sold Chinese heroin in USA for huge sums. of money, which he then used to buy (legally and otherwise) advanced electronic equipment of a military nature. He sometimes had on him half a million dollars, but said he had to account for every dollar. He refused to answer questions concerning his political activity in USA. But the evidence was clear enough. Cash obtained from heroin sales is used by Maoists in North America (presumably elsewhere also) to finance ' expensive papers, magazines and pamphlets issued in huge quantities by various Maoist and Anarchist-Trotskyigroups, and to support agents working to undermine trade unions, Communist Party groups, all sorts of progressive and liberal organizations, especially of ar g, Tsui-shiha- Much of this drug traffic goes first to Hong Kong (British) and Macao (Portuguese), the two big centers where the People's Republic of China does its enormous illicit trade, smuggling and finan- - g, - te the youth. Canadian reporters were all on vacation, it seems, when those 1975 trials revealed that Canada is the main transhipment base for However, our papers did come to life, later, when our government asked a Chinese diplomat to leave the country. Very, very (Kuo Ching-an- ) politely editors said that Mr. Kuo travelled too often to USA. At New York it was niade$feaf that the FBI had all necessary evidence against Kuo, but decided not to arrest him so as not to offend Maoist China. Incidentally, no Chinese paper breathed a word of these trials. Towards the end of 1975 police made raids in Vancouver and seized $3,000,000 of heroin. Oddly enough, the RCMP said that the importers, all Chinese, were from Bombay and Hong Kong, and no mention was made of them smuggling Chinas specialty. Of course not all Chinas heroin moves through Canada. In USA the drug squads are now busy with the Mexico connection, which is getting out of control. The situation is reaching with heroin becoming a national problem in both USA and Canada. With the end of the war in Vietnam, China lost a tremendous heroin market among USA troops. Now they are forced to export through only a few ns, Indeed, Hong Kong and Macao have become virtually the main world centers for international crime, and the hard core of all this is heroin from China. This is the financial base for the astonishing network of banks, big department stores, insurance companies, factories, movie firms and publishers, which the Peoples Republic of China operates in Hong Kong. The press in India often refers to raids on Chinese shops, in India. In various Indian ports Chinese try to get heroin out to freighters bound for USA, and the same men are usually charged with espionage in India. Whatever the routes used, they appear to be multiplying now, and the U.S. Commissioner of Customs warned (in May 76) that heroin inflow into USA has reached avalanche proportions. In a single month 100 tons of drugs are being seized, but that is only a fraction of the total, admitted in Washington to be ten times greater. China is no longer what it was yesterday, said the poems distributed in the Tienanmen Square riots. This was (for Chinese) a bold warning that the people arc maturing. Theyve had it, with leaps and revolutions that leave them no further ahead, far behind from the promises. And USAGeneral V.H. Krulak said in 1973 that opium is probably Chinas greatest export staple. They are doing everything they can to improve and expand opium culture, and it is estimated that they earn about a billion clandestine dollars a year from their dope sales. (End of Quote) In an article entitled The Communist Connection which appeared in The Review of the News on, August 3, 1977, Wellington. J. Griffith III pointed out that Communist China not only. has been involved in exporting heroin but uses munist seamen and even espionage agents posing as sailors to smuggle the heroin into the United ' States. These Communist spies often remain ' here, accomplishing a double mission. He noted, by way of documentation, that in the summer of 1970, four Hong Kong seamen involved in narcotics smuggling were murdered in New York City. The New York Police Intelligence Division, identified one by documents he was carrying as a Red Chinese agent. Another was a Communist courier and illegal alien involved in narcotics member of the operations and a Hong: Kong Seamens Union. The Associated Press also indentified the heroin- smuggling seamen as Chinese Communists. In November 1971 A. P. reported that, As many as 4,200 aliens from Communist China sneak into the U.S. every year, according to secret Justice Department records, which say some of the aliens are on espionage missions and others are involved in narcotics traffic. The A.P. story went on to say that, Chinese seamen among the flood of illegal aliens have been traced by the FBI to the Hong Kong Seamens Union.

Associated Press did not, however, link the seamens smuggling to Red Chinas policy of exporting heroin. President Yen Chia-Ka- n addressed a meeting of the World League in Taipei, Free China, with 66 nations represented. Alexander E. Ronnett, M.D. of Mount Prospect, Illinois, editor of Potomac magazine, reporting on his speech, stated, the President of the National Republic of China entered the conference hall and was received with prolonged ovations. In .his message, the President summarized the worlds situation, characterized by chaos, disorders and agitations. He pointed out that these were the results of the politics of detente and of appeasement, stating: Since the Second World War, the flood of Communist ideology and the expansion of Com- - . munist influence have brought unparalleled bewilderment and fear to humankind. The unprecedentedly chaotic world situation has been further agitated by the adverse current of international appeasement and the illusion of detente. This has given the Communist regimes opportunity for expansion. The condition of the world today is characterized by the confrontation between the forces of freedom and the forces of totalitarianism and by the interweaving of cold war and hot war. Without exception, these turmoils are induced and instigated through the influence of the Communists. We may say that Communism is the root of world turmoil. Asia bears the brunt of the Communist onslaught and has suffered the most. The fall of the Chinese mainland has subjected hundreds of millions of people to Communist tyranny and massacre. Loss of the three Indochina states of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos sacrificed nearly 30 .million people on the altar of detente ' and appeasement. These losses are among the greatest tragedies of humankind. Such developments show that instead of helping relieve world suffering, the illusions of appeasement and detente have further fueled the Communist flames and aggravated the suffering of mankind. Unless the freer world to immediately finds effective counter-measurcombat Communist infiltration and subversion, . Asia and all the world are sure to be faced with , even more devastating disasters. AIL Communist regimes pursue a policy of V' violence and indulge in terrorism for external expansion. .To them, peaceful coex-istence is another form of war. They use it to blind : and mislead their Opponents so they can under-min- e them,psychalpgically. The Communist ex- port .of revolution is aimed at communizing the' whoie world and enslaving humankind.; Both detente and negotiation are strategies used to reach this, objective.. Communist countries will never really mitigate their hostility toward the free worlds To i.expect the Communist nations ;to .V change their policies or to hope for peaceful coexistence with them is as foolish as looking for pie in the sky. If the free world does so, it will fall squarely into their trap of creating schisms. This will encourage them in their ambition to divide and conquer and increase their opportunities for infiltration and subversion. We call on the free world to draw a clear line . ; . : : . . |
