The US isn't so pure

By Philip Wallbridge

Wednesday, Sep 01, 2004,Page 8

Chen Ming-chung's letter criticizing Australia's China policy (Letters, Aug. 27, page 8) is another worrying example of an unbalanced, moralistic American opinion.

Although Chen claims the US does not support China's oppressive policies, he cleverly disguises the fact that the

US doesn't oppose its policies either. US President George W. Bush also "sucked up" to China by describing it as a "great nation" and bowed to Chinese pressure by not supporting Taiwan's referendum when Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (???) visited the US at the end of last year.
