The first of these atrocities was when the Korean War began. At the start of the war, the United States had taken over Taiwan, which was considered to be part of the People’s Republic of China. Such an act was the first hostilities, which was a direct attack on China’s sovereignty. However, the wording of such a statement is very important. In every argument, the US is accused of stating hostilities with Mainland China. The US occupied Chinese land, and its invasion of Korea seems to be a prelude of an invasion of China. In order to provide evidence for these accusations, the author cites a popular American paper, The Washington Post, as a witness to American attitudes. Specifically, it focuses on the hint that the American public supports the destruction of China, via the same route Japan used during World War II.

As if that was not enough, the author points to the fact that many well to do industrialist and bankers were placed in charge of the Marshall Plan, which provided aid to post war economies. Capitalism, as the author states, has penetrated everywere, and thus limited the democratic choices nations can have. These people make it very easy to state that the US wants to commercially control other nations, since it is providing necessary capital for them, throught the leadership of many capitalists. By mentioning such individuals, the author shows how the United States is very different form the People’s Republic of China.
