China slammed for pressuring UNESCO to drop boy's stamp
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday criticized China for interference which forced UNESCO to scrap plans to print a stamp containing Taiwan's national flag in a painting done by a 13-year-old Taiwanese boy.

The painting by Yang Chih-yuan (???), from Hsinpu Junior High School, and the works of five other teenagers from around the world won a recent UNESCO contest marking International Peace Day.

But UNESCO last week dropped Yang's painting from the list after coming under pressure from Beijing because it contains a small Republic of China flag.

"We strongly denounce the Chinese communists' bullying of Taiwan even though the painting was the brainchild of a high school student," the ministry said in a statement issued yesterday.

A family of "friends". Communist Chinese Bastards, Fascist Saudi Bastards, and the President of the United States and the Republican leadership. Oh, almost forgot Bastard Jackie "Whore" Chan.

1. You'd be easier to understand
if you stopped calling everybody names, and just spoke rationally and calmly.
