Quote of the Day: Woolsey

Liberty with Chinese Characteristics

 

 

Precursors to Revolution in China – and China knows it:

 

[Taiwan] is a living, breathing example that things can be different, that the world does not need a communist party in Beijing in order to have a reasonably run and prosperous Chinese society. Indeed the whole philosophy which, at least nominally, is held by the rulers in Beijing, is already on the ash heap of history.

 

- Former CIA director R. James Woolsey, The Defense Intelligence Journal, Winter 2001.

 

It’s an older quote, but worth bearing repeating; it is equally if not more true today than it was in the early days of American mobilization into Afghanistan, and certainly speaks of something undying despite best efforts by CCP officials since June 1989. Call it a movement for freedom and  “eternal peace”.
