Lin Bo Chun, President
Florida Splendid China

Kissimmee, Florida 34747
Dear Comrade Chun,
We hope that the past year in our fair state has been kind to you and
your family and that you have adjusted to the new climate.
We are writing to inform you of an action being held at Splendid
China on Saturday, August 31st, 2002. The date commemorates the 53rd
anniversary of the mysterious plane crash that prematurely ended the
lives of the East Turkestan Republic representatives on their way to
negotiate in Beijing on August 28, 1949. In addition, due to the
heightened angry rhetoric concerning our friends in Taiwan and their
right to self-determination, we will also voice our opposition to the
belligerent and hostile pronouncements from the Chinese military and
government. As purveyors of Communist Chinese propaganda and the
representatives of the State Council here in Florida, it is only
natural that your facility be targeted for this event.
We will hold a legal, peaceful demonstration at the main gate of your
facility beginning at 12 noon on August 31st. Also, some members will
be making legal, peaceful statements in front of the exhibits and/or
in the Suzhou Gardens.
Please, let there be no misunderstandings. We have repeatedly
attempted to correspond with previous managers and officers
controlling Florida Splendid China to simply ask to talk about five
(5) exhibits and the signs in front of them. To date, our
correspondence has gone unanswered. Our only recourse has been to use
our legal rights to voice our opinions and peaceably gather in front
of your facility on an occasional basis to bring further attention to
our concerns. At such time that you (or your representative) would
meet with a delegation of concerned citizens to discuss these issues
in substantial terms, we will cease and desist from further actions.
However, until that time, we will maintain our activities.
The planned activity on August 31st will represent the 49th action at
Florida Splendid China since opening in December 1993. We plan to
return again this December to commemorate the 9th anniversary of your
grand opening, perhaps this will be action number 50 or 51.
Thank you for your time and attention and have a great day,
Have a nice day,
Jack Churchward
Florida-Coordinator
Citizens Against Communist Chinese Propaganda
