Do Away with Firing Squads but Bring Back the Big Cane!

 

ABS gave this Chinese “spy” headlines in November 2019. 60 Minutes Australia also gave him a big microphone. Today, the truth – to Australian authorities – is out and Wang Li-qiang has been refused asylum in Australia!

It takes the Australian authorities four years to know the “truth”, when every Chinese Tom, Dick and Harry knows Wang is a fraudster.

Wang indulged in self-aggrandization and claimed he helped China to undermine Hong Kong protest movement. He claimed he was a key person in China’s espionage network. He even incriminated several people in Taiwan. He decided he had had enough of a bad China; it was time for him to do good, hence his asylum application when he had the opportunity to be in Australia. He would tell Australia all the murders and tortures China had committed!

The Western media love Wang’s type of tall tales. They make good headlines. More importantly, they make China look evil! They throw away their professionalism and reproduce every rubbish that poured out from these fraudsters’ mouths.

The truth is, fraudsters like Wang are in deep shit in China and are desperately looking to have a new lease of life in countries like the US, Australia, or Canada. Claiming that they will face personal danger if they return to China because they have out of conscience “betrayed” China, or they have regretted in partaking in China’s “evil” deeds, is the easiest way to gain asylum from the not very discerning authorities in some of these countries. Apparently, some have also been successful with their dubious claims of being persecuted for their religious or ethnic causes. After getting their new passport, they dare even to re-enter China with their Chinese passports. But things are changing. China has recently decided to “kill” their Chinese passports upon arrival. They are now no longer Chinese citizens.

People like Wang deserves the harshest punishment. In China, facing a firing squad is usually the way to go. Personally, I am against death sentences. I understand China has already started to practise suspended death sentences unless the crime is totally heinous. Giving people like Wang 24 strokes of cane, like what Singapore usually does to serious criminals, is the best way to deter other Wang-like characters to demonise China and Chinese.

Coming back to treasons and treacheries…

Qing Hui of Qin Kuai [秦桧] (19090-1155) is perhaps the best-known traitor in Chinese history. He was a prime minister during the Song dynasty. He was instrumental in the execution of Yue Fei [岳飛] who fought against the Jurchen marauders.

There are several well-known traitors in Chinese history and their treasons are well-documented. In this article, I would just like to recall a few:

Wang Jing-wei [汪精衞] 

Wang (4 May 1883 – 10 November 1944) was initially a champion of Chinese nationalism. He was a close associate of Sun Yat-Sen. After Sun’s death, Wang unsuccessfully engaged in a political struggle with Chiang Kai-Shek for control of the Kuomintang. Upon the outbreak of the Second Sin-Japanese War in 1937, he collaborated with the Japanese to form a puppet government in Nanjing and served as the head of state of this government. Chinese regard Wang as a Qing Hui in modern Chinese history.

Historian Dr Stephen Leong Mun Yoon, in a speech during the launching of his book Sources, Agencies and Manifestations of Overseas Chinese Nationalism in Malaya, 1937-1941, explained that Wang was driven by the reality of the day. China was a wrecked country then; the only way to survive, in Wang’s opinion, was to accept Japan’s overlordship. In 1644, Ming general Wu San-gui [吳三桂] also opened the gate of Shanhaiguan to the Manchu invaders to establish the Qing dynasty. China stagnated thereafter!

This brings me to the second traitor in modern Chinese history: President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan. 

Tsai Ing-wen

We all know Tsai is openly inviting the US to support her Taiwan Independence cause. She might help turn Taiwan into another Ukraine for the US in Western Pacific. What the US wants is clear for all to see. Most Chinese outside Taiwan just cannot understand why Tsai would want to go down in history as the Qin Hui of the 21^st Century.

Honorary Traitors,,,

Several others can rank equal with Qin Hui, but they are no longer Chinese citizens. But culturally, they still claim kinship with Chinese. They should be made “honorary” traitors – people like Miles Yu Mao-chun, Katherine Tai, and the likes of them.
