SOCIAL COLLAPSE IN CHINA

The disasters that communism has visited on China are by no
means restricted to the examples we have already seen. China has suf-
fered for years under a despotic regime, and is currently undergoing a
serious social collapse. Increasing unemployment, unpaid wages, the
rise in the crime rate, and the news of protests and clashes that erupt all
over the country on a daily basis are a striking revelation of the damage
that communism can inflict on a society. On the one hand, there are the

continuing human rights violations, and on the other, a very unfair dis-
tribution of income, and both of these are accelerating the social col-
lapse in China. The Chinese people are being used like guinea pigs, and
are being dragged from one catastrophe to another.
There has recently been a huge crime wave in China, with vast
rises in theft, prostitution and white slavery, drug abuse and white col-
lar crime. Unemployment and a wave of migration from rural areas to
the cities have led to a rise in thefts and robberies in urban areas.
One of the crimes that have increased most in recent years is the
drug trade. The spiritual emptiness which communism brings with it
has brought about a huge increase in drug abuse and trafficking.
Statistical studies reveal that the crime rate among women is ex-

ceptionally high and rising. A rise in crimes committed against women,
such as prostitution and white slavery is also rising. Women and chil-
dren are frequently involved in the business of prostitution. These
crimes reveal the moral degeneration going on in the Chinese society.
Increased bribery and corruption is another element of the ongoing so-
cial collapse in China.
The Chinese Communist Party ignores all forms of spiritual educa-
tion and is firmly convinced that it is possible to train human beings
like animals. As we have seen, it is now attempting to wrestle with a

monster of its own making. It is resorting to even greater brutality to
