   China, Cuba, and North Korea are alike in one sense: they have been   
   all under siege to various degrees due to Uncle Sam flexing his   
   muscles before them in the name of "freedom".   
      
   To understand how North Korea feels read Kevin Zeese and Margaret   
   Flowers' "Will the Real Aggressor Please Stand Down?"   
      
   That Cuba has gradually increased her citizens' individual liberty is   
   going hand-in-hand with reduced hostility exerted by the US.   
      
   And the Chinese people today more or less enjoy the same liberty as   
   the people from Taiwan because the US changed its China policy since   
   Nixon's presidency.  Today, the US depends on China so much for its   
   own economy and knows that China has gone through rapid military   
   development for self-defense.  So, people who talk about a lack of   
   freedom for the Chinese people really don't know much about China.
