Terrorism with CCP characteristics By Lindell Lucy The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operates as a foreign terrorist organization, and the US government should formally designate it as one, two lawyers wrote in an article published in November last year in the Journal of Political Risk. They cited the CCP’s persecution of the Uighurs, “Tibetan Buddhists, Falun Gong believers, Christian sects, independent-minded journalists, human rights attorneys and others.” Whether or not the US government decides to label the CCP as a terrorist organization, the rest of us can go ahead and call it what it is. The CCP is often accused of bullying, but that understates the truth. Bullying is what kids do on a playground. Threatening a murderous invasion of the peaceful nation of Taiwan is a completely different level of evil. Such threats aim to inflict a permanent psychological state of terror and are appropriately described as terrorism.
