so chinese called on to downwith imperism... who is going to support you then?? those "democratic" countries??
no! but the communism movement!! first of the rep sent out there is Uncle Ho chi min. by the Russian. and HO told them to motivate more locals...(but those local monkeies would not give a damn as long as some one throwing a loaf of bread!)
Malasia communist (95% chinese)fighted until 1989....
