China Threat

Threat to Democracy in New Zealand

Please note Chinese residents of New Zealand, that this article is NOT racist. It simply expresses a concern that some Chinese people here may be Communist and support the Chinese Government. If  the Chinese government was a free-speaking, peace loving and democratic country, treated its residents decently and without threat of violence or death, then there would be no concern.

I think we might need Winston Peters as Prime Minister after all, and the sooner the better.

Many of us here in New Zealand are seriously worried about China.  Many wealthy Chinese people live in New Zealand now:  our government has welcomed them all because they believed their money will boost the economy. Well, one major negative economic effect is that normal New Zealanders on average incomes can no longer buy a house for their family, because the huge numbers of Chinese who have come in with the dosh have inflated our house prices beyond the reach of the average  New Zealander.

That is one thing. What is a more serious threat, though, is that many of these newcomers are Communists, who believe in the Chinese Communist Government and its policies. Many of these newcomers from China are not here to enjoy our life-style and become assimilated into our society.  No – they have a plan which relates their very existence here to the furtherment of China and the communist government.

Somehow, in New Zealand, we have been brought up to believe that communists are poor.  These new Chinese immigrants are wealthy, mostly, and so we  have assumed that they cannot be communist supporters.  But I know some of these people in Auckland, and it is just not so – there is such a thing as a wealthy communist, and some of them are alive and well in Auckland.

The Chinese Government has not shown mercy to its own people:  It killed many, many people  in Tiananmen Square in the 1990′s who were protesting about the wickedness of the  Chinese government. The Tiananmen Square massacre was damned by human rights protestors all about the world.

The Chinese communist government torture and kill Falun Gong people, and Buddhists, and anyone else who does not appear to be mindlessly in agreement with the barbaric controlling methods of the Chinese Government.

This is not a new thing.  On the BBC just last night, 15th September 2010, a new book on Mao’s new China was reviewed.  The author had been to China and gone through archives dating back to before the revolution.  It is estimated that 45 million people were deliberately tortured and  killed in China to pave the way for the government and regime which exists there today.

Freedom of speech does not exist in China:   having a religion of any kind is forbidden , and if you defy the opressive rules of the Chinese goernment, then they  simply get rid of you.   The religion of the Chinese people now  is supposed to be the Chinese Government itself – the one and only voice which has any bearing.

So how and why is our government seduced into thinking that we will be safe from these wicked forces:  If they kill and torture their OWN people in China – anyone who is different – anyone who has a religion -  you don’t have to commit a crime – then the day will come here, too, when we no longer have freedom of speech and live in terror of the Chinese communists.

On the Maori news late last night, Pita Sharples who represented the Maori party in the New Zealand Government, was shown to be ‘walking the walk and talking the talk’ in China.  Basically, his interests in China are for us to trade with China.  He said that although China is big, and we are small, that should be no reason not to trade:  naive to say the least.

Then a picture came up of Pita Sharples sitting, smiling, next to the prime minister of the national government, who was beaming his  smug 200million dollar smile in anticipation. Tariana Turia was sitting smiling on the other side of John Key.  Yes, that explains it – Pita sharples, of course, is not in China at the moment of his own volition. He believes that somehow the Maori Party might benefit from trade with China. There is land to sell, sand to sell, trees to sell, gold to sell,  food to sell.  We will have nothing left when they have finished, which will benefit no-one here.

This current  government does not look to the future in ANYTHING.  They do not care that we will have nothing left in or on our soil here for our children of future generations. And they also do not care there are already signs that our democratic freedom is being undermined:  the response to the Dalai Lama’s visit by the Auckland Chinese Businessmen’s Association surely is an  omen of worse things to come.

This New Zealand government wants to sell everything, even at the risk of being owned, in thought, word, and deed, by the Chinese communist regime.  They want to sell our agricultural land to the Chinese: they have an agreement in the pipeline.  They were  going to mine our beautiful protected forests without the permission of the New Zealand people:  They pulled out at the last minute – but are probably waiting for some other diversion to behold the New Zealand people before they try it on again.

Now – back to the influence of the Chinese communist government here:

Tibetan Buddhism is under threat because of Chinese discrimination: The Dalai Lama’s visit here was blocked for a period of time by the Auckland Chinese Businessmen’s Association – this gives you an idea that the Chinese communists are already actiively monitoring the events and people to whom we are being exposed to in New Zealand:  Already, we are being groomed.  They do not like the Dalai Lama, saying, as reported in the New Zealand Herald,  that he tells lies about the CHINESE GOVERNMENT, and that the Dalai Lama is  a ‘separatist, and a trouble maker’:  this is really part of their brain washing tactics which includes the  rewriting of history on how and why they took over Tibet.

It was also alarming to see, these statements published as a front-page news item  last year, just prior to the Dalai Lama’s visit, by the NZ Herald which has the biggest circulation of any paper in New Zealand, and is the ONLY voice of Auckland.  This article  stated that the Auckland Chinese Businessmen’s Association was blocking the Dalkai Lama’s visit to Auckland because he was a ‘trouble maker’, ‘a separatist’, told lies about the Chinese Government, and ‘worked for the CIA’.

It was interesteing  and alarming too, that the NZ Herald did not publish anything  contrary to the Chinese Businessmen’s statements.  They simply let it ride:  any New Zealander too young to have learned anything of the history behind the takeover of Tibet, or who was ignorant about the multitude of human atrocities in China, might have thought that these communist-inspired statements about the Dalai Lama were true.

A Chinese person I know who claims he is a Christian, reiterated all these things when I offered him a free ticket to see the Dalai Lama last year. He was irate when I, unwittingly, invited one of the family to join me in listening to this great man’s lecture. This Chinese businessman who was born in China, was obviously exposed to brain washing techniques and the rewriting of history before he came to New Zealand.  He voiced the same opinions as the Herald article, and  was vehement that the Dalai Lama worked for the CIA  – more propaganda put out by the Chinese communist government.  No mention of the fact that thousands upon thousands of Tibetan Bhuddist monks and peasant people were killed when the Chinese took over Tibet, and that the Dalai Lama was one of the lucky ones who escaped death at the hands of the Chinese army.

The presence of the Chinese is very visible in Auckland – and I am sure that not all of them are communists – but just wait – I believe the Chinese government and its evil ways will make us rue the day we ever let them take hold here.   They will be doing more than tearing away the banner which  Green Party spokesman,  Russell Norman held in a one-man protest outside parliament  recently:  The banner which Chinese officials swiped had “Free Tibet’ written on it.

    Threat To Democracy.
    Yes, yes and yes. Everything you have written I have had concerns about for a while. Good for you to raise this issue. A lot of us keep our heads down, not wanting to offend ‘someone’ if we are faced with tricky situations. But, this is being apathetic and we can’t just trust in the powers that be to make correct decisions which will become our future. It has already happened once in New Zealands history, but there will not be any Treaty written up to protect us for a second time.
    Take heed indeed.

    Greetings Ali,
    It was great to see you down in “The Bay” over the weekend.
    Thanks so much for your comment. Yes – This article was meant to stimulate an awareness of our situation here in New Zealand. At present, we believe we are a ‘Democratic’ nation, but we should not take this for granted. I feel empathy for all those who suffer, or who have suffered, at the hands of the Chinese communist government because of their religious beliefs and/or a desire for Freedom of Speech, and pray that positive forces might prevail over the negative ones threatening our relatively peaceful nation. Thanks again for your intelligent response.
