We are a freedominspired Nation. devoted to the tenets of democracy. but Communist China makes the same claim. Shrewdly China points out that we are the defenders of the white mans policy of exploitation. and as a result of our actions the natives believe this false propaganda.

The penalty is more than loss of troops and treasure. infinitely more. China. culturally.
