Translator’s Note: The British “Guardian” newspaper used to be a liberal-left form of print media that gave a reasonably impartial impression of China to its Westerner readers. For at least the last 15-years this has not been the case, as the “Guardian” is now a right-wing (Trotskyite) piece of Eurocentric trash – a mouthpiece of US anti-China racism and anti-intellectualism – always striving to misrepresent China and deliberately presenting false, racist, demeaning and negative views about China to its readership. Obviously, I stopped reading its propaganda years ago – but every so often the sheer weight of British colonial history (which drips in the blood of its victims) – must be told truthfully – even by those White people who glorify in the deaths of non-Whites! This is what the Guardian is doing in the following article. Today, (2024) the Guardian has published an article suggesting that China is deliberately removing “Arabic” architecture from Mosques in China and replacing these structures with historically “Chinese” designs – a pathetic falsehood that is designed (like its 1960s British equivalent) – to generate hatred and violence between Chinese and non-Chinese people (no doubt a Zionist attempt to drive a wedge between China and the beleaguered Palestinian people). Such is the hypocrisy “drip drip” nature of a right-wing, capitalist-supporting Trotskyism! Learn from it and combat it with a continuous counter-exposure! ACW (26.5.2024)
This article is reproduced from [Global Times New Media]; According to the British “Guardian” report on the 23rd January 2022, “Declassified” documents have revealed Britain’s role in one of the most brutal post-war massacres of the 20th century, and some shocking new details have emerged.
The latest documents released by the British National Archives show that experts from the British Foreign Office sent hundreds of inflammatory pamphlets to the leaders of Indonesia’s anti-communist movement, Instigating them to kill the then Foreign Minister Subandriyo – whilst promoting violence against all ethnic Chinese Indonesians on the grounds that “They deserve it!”
The Anti-Chinese Massacre in Indonesia from 1965 to 1966 killed at least 500,000 people and was one of the worst massacres in the 20th century. The Guardian pointed out that at that time, Britain hoped that the Indonesian Army and Militia would overthrow the government of the country’s democratically elected President Sukarno because it believed that he and then Foreign Minister Subandriyo were “too close” to China.
According to reports, a military coup occurred in Indonesia in 1965. Suharto, the Commander of the Indonesian Army Strategic Reserve Force who was leaning towards the West, immediately took control of the Indonesian Army and launched anti-Chinese massacres across the country. Over the next few months, Suharto replaced the ailing Sukarno. He became Acting President in 1967 and was appointed President the following year. After Suharto officially took office as President, he received the support of the United States and implemented a dictatorship in Indonesia for more than 20 years until he stepped down in 1998.
Last October (2021), the British “Observer” revealed how British officials secretly deployed black propaganda in the 1960s to incite prominent Indonesians to “remove” the so-called “communist cancer.” In fact, the propaganda material was written by British Foreign Office “Psychological Warfare” experts in a cozy cabin in Singapore, working with MI6. But for more than fifty years, the British Foreign Office has denied any involvement in the anti-Chinese massacre.
Soe Tjen Marching is a lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. Her father was persecuted and imprisoned by the Indonesian military. She said that the actions against the Chinese in 1965 “led to a large extent to generating lethal levels of suspicion and discrimination between Chinese and non-Chinese Indonesians. Therefore, the British government urgently needs to apologize.”
Tabor’s Steve Alston said his organization was “appalled that the UK government is involved in a disinformation campaign that incites violence”. Tabor is an NGO that monitors Human Rights issues in Indonesia. Alston said: “Faced with this evidence, the UK government must now commit to launching an investigation by an independent prosecutor and completing it within 18 months.”

令人震惊！因印尼当年跟中国“走太近”，英国政府煽动排华大屠杀

据英国《卫报》23日报道，解密文件揭示了英国在20世纪战后最残酷的大屠杀之一中所扮演的角色，一些令人震惊的新细节浮出了水面。
英国国家档案馆最新公布的文件显示，英国外交部的专家曾向印尼的反共运动领导人发送了数百份煽动性的小册子，教唆他们杀害时任外交部长苏班德里约，并宣扬称印尼华裔遭受暴力是“他们应得的”。
印尼在1965至1966年间发生排华大屠杀，至少造成50万人丧生，是20世纪最严重的大屠杀之一。
《卫报》指出，当时的英国希望印尼军队和民兵推翻该国民选总统苏加诺的政府，理由是认为他和时任外长苏班德里约与中国“走得太近”。
报道称，1965年印尼发生军事政变，倾向西方的印尼陆军战略后备部队司令苏哈托随即控制了印尼军队，并在全国策动了排华大屠杀。在接下来的几个月里，苏哈托取代了境况不佳的苏加诺。他于1967年就任代理总统，次年又被任命为总统。苏哈托正式就任总统后获得美国支持，在印尼实施20多年独裁统治，直到1998年下台。
去年10月，英国《观察家报》揭露了英国官员如何在20世纪60年代秘密部署黑色宣传，煽动印尼知名人士“切除”所谓的“共产主义癌症”。事实上，这些宣传材料是由英国外交部心理战专家在新加坡一间舒适的小木屋里与军情六处合作撰写的。但五十多年来，英国外交部一直否认与这场排华大屠杀有任何牵连。
苏特仁（Soe Tjen Marching）是伦敦大学亚非学院的讲师，她的父亲曾被印尼军方迫害并遭到监禁。她表示，1965年针对华人的行动，“在很大程度上导致了印尼华人和非华人之间的猜疑和歧视。因此，英国政府迫切需要道歉。”
“塔波尔”的史蒂夫•奥尔斯顿（Steve Alston）表示，他的组织“对英国政府参与一场煽动暴力的造谣运动感到震惊”。“塔波尔”是监督印尼人权问题的非政府组织。奥尔斯顿指出：“面对这些证据，英国政府现在必须承诺，由独立检察官对此发起一项调查，并在18个月内完成。”
