YU TOO, HILLARY?
Homage to Hillary
Now we have a motive for why the Communist Chinese government may have been willing to spend millions of dollars to infiltrate the Clinton White House. What better place to learn the art of propaganda, and from Hillary Rodham Clinton, no less!
Veteran Chinese propagandist Yu Quanyu, director of the press and media institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, urged Communist Party officials recently to educate themselves in Western propaganda skills, citing as a blueprint speeches given by the first lady.
Mr. Yu's extraordinary observations are quoted in the journal Ideological and Political Work Studies and reprinted in the Far Eastern Economic Review, which made its way to Washington.
Mr. Yu, you see, is highly impressed with Mrs. Clinton's speeches before the masses, particularly her addresses to the international women's forum in Beijing in 1995. Each speech, he noted, lasted "15 minutes each time, winning seven or eight rounds of applause each."
More astonishing, Mr. Yu noted, was that Mrs. Clinton's addresses contained little or no substance and had no reasoning whatsoever. Instead, he said, they were "aimed at merely winning applause and votes."
Mr. Yu said Chinese propagandists, in homage to Mrs. Clinton, must "assimilate certain skills" as demonstrated by the first lady, so as to "engage in a public opinion struggle with our political adversaries." -- washtimes.com (Published in Washington, D.C. 5am -- February 17, 1998 By John McCaslin THE WASHINGTON TIMES) |
