Empire State Building To Turn Yellow And Red On Anniversary Of Communist China's Birth

The AFP reports that "New York's iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China.The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the colors of the People's Republic until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said in a statement."

This is a disgrace. It mocks the memory of the victims of the Communist regime, the many millions that starved to death as a result of Mao's policies of collectivization, the many who perished in China's "cultural revolution," the many whose lives were taken in Tiananman Square, and the many who continue to face oppression by the Chinese regime. Why is a great American landmark marking the anniversary of the establishment of Red China?
