Perceived Hypocrisy on China Fueled Lawsuit Against Cisco

My recent post, "Second Lawsuit Accuses Cisco of Enabling China to Oppress Citizens," recounted allegations stemming from the oppression of associates of Harry Wu, a well-known dissident who spent nearly two decades in Chinese forced-labor prisons. But there’s more to the story, and it helps to explain why Cisco was targeted in the suit. It turns out Wu was infuriated by what he saw as blatant hypocrisy exhibited by Cisco as a corporate sponsor of the ceremony in Oslo in December to award the Nobel Peace Prize in absentia to imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.

Dan Ward, the attorney who filed the suit, told me that Wu attended the ceremony, and was incensed when he saw that Cisco was a sponsor. In fact, Wu wrote a letter to Cisco CEO John Chambers dated Jan. 3 to express his dismay. Here’s an excerpt from that letter:

Liu Xiaobo was sentenced in part because of his writings on overseas Chinese-language news sites, including my own site, Observe China, which is blocked by the Great Firewall. Mr. Liu wrote over 260 articles for Observe China, and three of these (along with three others from other sources) were raised in his trial and cited as reasons why he was “subverting State power.” I can personally assure you that while these articles urged the Chinese government to move towards a freer, more democratic society, they were certainly not criminal. Mr. Liu himself has stated that “it is time we move beyond a society where words are viewed as crimes.

It "can be found in the history books. When the Manchus invaded China in 1644 the Ming army became an underground society aimed at overthrowing the Qing (Manchu) and restoring the Ming. They supported the Boxer Rebellion but were put down by imperialist powers. Later, with the help of overseas Chinese and the Japanese imperial family, the society managed to overthrow the last Emperor and install Sun Yat Sen in his place. They last appear in the history books as the Green Gang and the Red Gang that fiercely fought the Communists in Shanghai in the 1940's. They were defeated by the Communists in 1949 and once again became an underground organization." "The society has deep roots in Japan because of the link between Yakuza crime gangs and the Japanese imperial family. The Japanese imperial family are descended from 6th century Korean invaders. The original invaders had trouble putting down the native Jomon peoples so they brought over a tough, warlike minority people from the Asian mainland. These are the ancestors of the Yakuza. They have historically been used for secret work and for jobs like collecting taxes. When the Japanese decided to help overthrow the last Chinese dynasty, they used the Yakuza as a go-between with the Chinese secret society, many of whose members were gangsters. To this day many of the senior leaders of this group are actually Japanese, not Chinese. "It must be made very clear though that it is not a crime gang. Although many members are Triad and Yakuza members, over 2/3 thirds of the members are intellectuals such as university professors, researchers and government bureaucrats. Each member earns their own living and membership in the society is like belonging to an emergency fire brigade. Their book of rules reads like a book of ethics filled with instructions to do things like help the weak, fight injustice, help your comrades etc." "They approached me and asked if they could help after I made a speech in Tokyo describing the Bush regimes' use of race-specific biological weapons. For me it was like a ghost from the history books appearing right in front of me. At first I thought of silly things like having them play 911 truth videos in Chinatowns around the world. However, then I remembered the scene from the movie Kill Bill where Uma Thurman snatches out her opponent's eye. I soon realized these people could save the world by directly attacking the eye at the top of the pyramid on the one-dollar bill.
