"Yet Another Public Address"
President Xia Hong
The People's Republic of China
================================
 
(The Press Room- Executive Residence)
 
Although there was a popular image of Chinese secrecy, in fact over the  last 
two years China had opened up far more considerably then anyone a decade  ago 
would have dreamed of.  Western press were allowed to travel to most  parts 
of the country unescorted, save for those areas where violence threatened  to 
get out of hand, such as Tibet.  Xia found it somewhat humorous that the  
Americans based their response on the old ways of things, and a telling sign  that 
President Williams clearly knew little, if anything, about the state of  
modern China.  A room of international media agents greeted her as she  walked to 
the podium.
 
"President Hong, how do you respond to allegations that President Williams  
has raised regarding Chinese subsidies of shipbuilding companies?"
 
"Quite simply, the United States has set the gold standard by which such  
allegations should be levied."  She smiled as a few laughed.  "The  Americans, 
despite having no aggressive adversary, continue to spend billions  more on 
Naval forces then any other nation spends on the entirety of it's  military 
forces.  The reason that the American people, and the American  Congress, continue 
to see soaring costs in the development of naval designs  isn't entirely 
because of advancements in technology.  Much of it is  because the ship building 
industry of the United States, the greatest economic  power in the world, 
receives welfare from it's government in the form of  massive, and usually pointless, 
naval contracts.  The value of these  contracts outstrips any subsidy spent 
by any other Asian nation, and while the  Americans use their subsidies to 
build weapons with which to wage war against  enemies that don't exist... maybe 
President Williams sees a windmill somewhere,  I don't know... but while they 
build weapons, our efforts are focused on  advancing the causes of peaceful 
commerce, free trade, and economic advancement  for the world entire.  I make no 
apologies for following the American  example, and being better at it than they 
are."
 
"How do you respond to President Williams' statement that the United States  
is not at all behind Chinese problems in North Korea?"
 
"They may not be actively behind it at 'this' moment, but I find it  
impossible to believe, after all the precautions that the North Korean and  Chinese 
governments had taken in security, that a group of renegades have  obtained 
weapons within the confines of North Korea, and the elaborate training  necessary 
to execute the operations they have taken so far without outside  assistance.  
The hit and run tactics being used are strikingly similar to  those faced by 
the Americans in Iraq a decade ago, and similar to those methods  with which 
Western special forces troops are trained.  Clearly, when taken  in the context 
with the admission of President Williams that America continues  espionage 
practices in Asia, the circumstantial evidence in total suggests  American 
involvement."
 
"And what of the American suggestion that this 'espionage' as you put it  was 
limited to building a court case to submit before the WTO?"
 
"Simple.  Whether the President's legal advisors are capable or not I  can 
not speculate, but when one wishes to initiate a court proceeding, it is  global 
legal tradition that the other party be informed, and requests for  discovery 
formally issued and responded to.  'If' President Williams' sole  purpose was 
to pursue a legitimate legal claim before a respected world body, he  could 
have been far more open about it than he was.  Greed is not an excuse  for 
spying."
 
"And the President's claim that you've gone mad?"
 
Everyone laughed.
 
"Well sir, unlike President Williams I think I'll refrain from personal  
insults.  The evidence presented and the logic behind my Government's  thoughts 
remain sound without me wasting the breath in adding insult to  injury.  I bear 
no avarice towards the American people or it's  establishment, and would like 
to emphasize that point.  America and China  have been amicable since the days 
of the Cold War, and that friendship, despite  the recent actions, will 
remain sound.  The world needs America, and  America needs China."
 
"So you are admitting that China subsidizes it's shipbuilding  practices?"
 
"Yes, to a far lesser extent and for far more peaceful reasons than  America. 
 I will defend our practices before the WTO as justifiable...  simply because 
President Williams has decided to hide these subsidies under the  term of 
'contracts' does not make them any less subsidies."
 
"What actions, if any, have been taken thus far against allegations of  
brutality raised in Tibet and North Korea?"
 
"As we speak, several members of the Chinese National Police and the  
People's Liberation Army are being held as suspects while investigations are  
ongoing.  If these allegations are proven, they will face lengthy jail  sentences.  
Thus far no allegation has risen to the level of severity  necessary to justify 
the death penalty, but that does not mean there won't  be.  Efforts at 
re-training and urging restraint will continue, as  hopefully will cooperation 
between civilians and the Ministry of Justice which  is tasked with the 
investigations."
 
"The United States has sought to paint you as 'loony' in light of this  
latest incident Madame President.  How do you respond?"
 
"I'm mentally sound?"  She smirked.  "Again, the evidence  presented should 
be what the world basis their decisions upon.  Personal  attacks mean little to 
me, the clear weight of the evidence does.  I  strongly urge the United 
States to end any support, passive or otherwise, to the  North Korean insurgency.  
I strongly urge South Korea, if it is involved,  to do the same, and ask that 
those part of the Insurgency agree to a cease fire  so that the North Korean 
and Chinese governments can hear their specific  complaints, and an agenda can 
be pursued to remedy them peacefully.  I will  not however be preached to 
while Chinese lives are being lost.  I will  defend my people as I am charged 
with, regardless of what President Williams may  think of it."
 
"And with regards to President Williams' assertion that you specifically,  
and your government entirely, does not care for human life?"
 
"If my Government or I did not care for human life, there would be no  
insurgency in North Korea, and no riots in Tibet.  I have publicly  addressed the 
situation multiple times, and continue to take just actions to  insure the safe 
guards of the balance between individual rights and public  safety are 
maintained.  I could just as easily order the whole sale  destruction of troublesome 
areas, the burning of villages as the Americans did  in Vietnam, the torture 
of those responsible as the Americans did in Iraq and  Afghanistan, but I can 
differentiate between public policy and the acts of  individual criminals 
wearing the colors of a national service.  I'm deeply  saddened that President 
Williams seems unable, or unwilling, to do the  same.  Despite all the hard work 
and progress our people have made in the  past few years, we are still painted 
by the President as the villains.  I  can only speculate as to his reasoning 
behind this, but such fear mongering is  highly unbecoming of a world leader of 
his stature."
 
"And the recent increase in the preparedness of Chinese Nuclear forces,  
madame President?"
 
"Will be rescinded within the hour.  I'm sorry it took such a drastic  step 
to force President Williams to come clean about his actions, but it was  
necessary.  China has the right to defend herself, and her allies, the same  that we 
respect the American right to do the same.  Thank you for the honor  of 
addressing you today."
 
And with that, she smiled and left.

Actions
 
1.  Liar liar, pants on fire :-p
 
2.  How could the United States not in some way be involved with North  
Korea?  There is strong circumstantial evidence to indicate  otherwise.  The people 
can decide.
 
3.  Respond to the US case in the WTO.  We may be guilty, but to  a far 
lesser extent then the Americans.  Petition for a decision to force  the US to be 
more streamlined and honest in it's industrial practices, and for  monetary 
redress.  You are 'so' sued buddy!
 
4.  Point out that crazy is, as crazy does.  The US invaded Iraq  on far less 
evidence than China has regarding American involvement.  China  could simply 
have reacted as President Williams suggested and killed everything,  even the 
grass, but they didn't.  We are a peace loving people, while  Williams has 
actively admitted spying on an ally in Japan based on  greediness.  If that's how 
the US will treat it's friends, who would you  rather buddy up with?  
 
5.  PR Response:  China has embraced the world, the United States  has done 
nothing as of late but to periodically rise up, insult China or other  world 
leaders, and shrink back away.  China offers economic fairness,  affordable 
products, and a respect for national sovereignty not matched by the  Williams 
administration.  Williams has endorsed spying on his key allies  for monetary gain 
while China has sought to share leadership in Asia with Asian  nations.  
Williams has ignored the considerable plights of third world  nations, while Hong 
has brought light to them and pushed China to be more  humanitarian in Africa 
and South America.  While the US demands resources,  China is more interested 
in the welfare of all mankind.  President Williams  is a hypocritical, 
backstabbing opportunist, and international bully, while  President Hong has endured 
public and private turmoil to provide moral guidance  and leadership in tune 
with more enlightened ideals.  Who 'do' you feel  safer with, Earth?
