On the 10th, a demonstration of justice was held, which is to be welcomed.The U.S. imperialists have made a lot of deceptive propaganda against the Chinese people, and all patriots should not believe these deceitful statements.The U.S. imperialists invaded Korea, invaded China's Taiwan, bombed China's Northeast, and used various hooligan methods to intimidate the Chinese people. All patriots should be determined to resist the U.S. imperialist aggression and not be intimidated by them.The heroic deeds of the Chinese people's volunteers to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea and defend their home and country are worthy of praise.It is absolutely correct for workers, peasants, intellectuals, industrialists and businessmen all over the country, who are patriots, to unite in unison and oppose the aggression of US imperialism.I hope that all patriotic industrialists and businessmen in China, together with the masses of the people, will form a united front against imperialist aggression that is stronger than before. victory.
