Taiwan
Sir, —In accordance with Maoist ideology, “P.J.A.” obediently “toes the party line” in his condemnation of “the thorn in the side of the ‘Chinese motherland’.’’ Rather, Taiwan stands forth, to those oppressed under communism on the mainland, as a light and an ultimate hope. “Only the American fleet prevents its return to the motherland,” “P.J.A.” says. In the unenviable position of being one of the neighbouring territories of Red China (and especially “privileged” to be claimed as a “province of the mainland”), were it not for the American presence, Taiwan would quietly go down in the history books as another victim swallowed up by the Red Chinese giant, whose imperialist desires can never be satisfied, and whose custom it is to “liberate” each of its neighbours. Let New Zealand not “toe the party line,” but determine that we are on the side of our brother in the free world. —Yours, etc., THE SPRINGBOK. March 26, 1971.
