COMMENT OF THE DAY
a com-
The
Resistance In China
AQUESTION that looms large in
many minds at this time is how effective
Chinese Or widespread is resistance to the Communist regime on the mainland. The answer affects the estimate of the Communist claim to a fully established rule and hence to recognition by countries such as the United States, France and Australia, and also the estimate of the possibility of anti-Communist counter- revolution. It is plainly impossible to put candid and objective reporters into China to get the facts at first hand; and there is a natural tendency to dis- count some Chinese Nationalist claims of resistance activity as being over- optimistic. Hence unusual weight must be given to evidence that comes from Chinese Communist sources. This is reluctant testimony and therefore more reliable, than" frantic claims of victory and progress. The Peking regime has made it plain by its recent actions that realstance is still a major problem. It. has found it necessary to enlarge greatly the list of offences for which the death penalty is to be imposed.. Under the decree recently issued virtually any act held to be a "serious" offence against the State is to be.' punished by death. Chief among those "serious" offences are those that have to do with fomenting or abetting resis tance. Some weeks ago Chinese Journalists in Canton wore oxecuted for "cultural" offences, and, more recently the Kwangtung provincial authorities
*
have stepped up measure for the appre- hension and liquidation of elements suspected of being at enmity with the Chinese Communists. In defending the latest Draconian decree, Peng Chen, Peking's deputy chairman of the political committee, has asserted that it was made necessary by the fact that Babotage, and other subversivo activities had increased since the out- break of hostilities in Korea. Mr Peng went on to give a detailed account of guerilla and resistance activities that is surprising in the scope of its adminis "trations. Apparently these activities are widespread. "In many places," Mr Peng said, railways and bridges have been destroyed, mines and factories damaged, warehouses burned and Com- munist political workers killed. He gave details on the latter point and declared that la Kwangai province alone more than 3,000 of these workers had been done to death. Whole groups of persons working in the supply service of the Communist army, he added, 'had been wiped out, and in some`places "reactionary underground armies have been organised." Some of this state- ment might be dismissed as an attempt to justify the stern measures that have been promulgated. Underneath - it, however, runs a strong tene of genuine anxloty. Unless one in prepared to bellove that the, Chinese Communists wish to kill merely for the sake of 'killing, their frantic resort to desperate measures must indicate some real vigour in their opposition.
