The Chinese people have long declared that the affairs of each country throughout the world should be conducted by its own people and that Asian affairs should be conducted by the people of Asia and not by the United States. US aggression in Asia will only awaken widespread, resolute resistance from the people of Asia. As recently as the 5th of January of this year, Truman stated that the United States would not interfere in Taiwan. Now, he has given the lie to his own statement, and he has torn up all the international agreements regarding non-interference by the United States in China's internal affairs. Thus, the United States has revealed its true imperialist visage, and this is useful to the people of China and of all Asia. There is no reason whatsoever for US intervention in the internal affairs of Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other countries. The sympathy of the people throughout China, as well as of the people throughout the world, is with the victims of aggression, and most decidedly not with US imperialism. The people will not be bought by imperialism, nor will they be intimidated by it. Imperialism is outwardly strong but inwardly weak, because it has no support among the people.
