Taiwan will be on the losing side again

Posted on Tue, Apr. 08, 2003

One cannot forget the history: China will massacre Taiwan again.  It was interesting to read the letter "Can't forget the massacre of Taiwan" from Ken Lin on March 14, 2003.  He links China's threat recently to Taiwan, together with the China's massacre of Taiwan on Feb. 28, 1947.  Many of us are aware of the 228 massacre, but do not normally relate it to the massacres that are happening around the world.

When Chang Kai Shek's Chinese troops massacred the Taiwanese right after World War II (including Feb. 28, 1947 and afterwards), it was exactly the same scenario as the Nazi massacre of Jews during World War II, and the racial massacres that are happening in Africa, in Middle East and China recently.  They all used violence to massacre the other racial or ethnic groups.  History normally repeats itself.  China has already massacred it's own citizens (Culture revolution), Tibetan (directly by Hu Jin Tao), and student demonstrators in Tienanmen Square. China will have no hesitation in massacring Taiwanese again even on a larger scale, than the one Chang Kai Shek's Chinese troops did.  When Taiwan's president Chen hinted recently, to not let Taiwan become the second Hong Kong; he did not describe the situation clearly enough, because China did not use missiles aimed at Hong Kong before it was taken over.  Chen needs clearly state that we cannot let Taiwan become the scene of the second Holocaust.
