(PEOPLE' S DAILY COMMENTATOR'S ARTICLE: "WAR ESCALATION

OF VIETNAM ISSUED SUCCESSIVE STATEMENTS STRONGLY CONDEMNING U.S.
IM FER I AL I SM FOR ITS CRIMES OF INTENSIFYING ITS WAR OF AGGRESSION
AGAINST THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF VIETNAM, FOR BOMBING THE CITY OF
HANOI, AND FOR STEPPING UP THE USE OF THAILAND TO CARRY ON ITS
WAR OF AGGRESSION. THE STATEMENTS' INDICATED THAT THE VIETNAMESE
PEOPLE WILL STRENGTHEN THEIR FIGHTING (7W ILL) AND CRUSH THE
MILITARY ADVENTURE OF THE U.S. AGGRESSORS.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE FIRMLY SUPPORT THE S.ERN
STAND OF THE PROVISIONAL REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT OF THE REPCBLI C

IN THE PAST MON_ H OR S0, U.S. INPERIALI SM HAS CONTINUOUSLY
ESCALATED THE WAR IN VIETNAM. IT HAS MINED AND BLOCKADED THE
FORTS OF THE DRV. IT HAS USED A LARGE NAVAL AND AIR FORCE TO
ATTACK VAST URBAN AND RURAL AREAS IN NORTH AND SOUTH VI ErNAM. IT
HAS REPEATEDLY EXPANDED THE SCOPE OF ITS BOMB ING AND EVEN
CARRIED OUT SAVAGE BOMBINGS OF THE CITY OF HANOI, THE CAPITAL

BY SUCH ACTS OF AGGRESSION, U.S. IMPERTALISM HAS COMMITTED
NE14 CRIMES'AGAINST THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE AND AROUSED STRONG

IN EXPANDING ITS WAR OF AGGRESSION, U.S. IMPERIALISM IS
STEPPING UP THE USE OF THE SERVICES OF THE THAI REACTIONARIES.
RECENTLY, THE U. S. HAS SENT TO THAILAND A LARGE NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT,
INCLUDING B-52' S , AND TRANSFERRED LARGE NUMBERS OF U.S. TROOPS I T
WAS FORCED TO WITHDRAW FROM SOUTH VIETNAM 10 THAILAND TO CONTINUE
MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN ITS AGGRESSION IN INDOCHINA. THE THAI
REACTIONARIES, ACTING AS A CAT'S-PAW AND AN ACCOMPLICE OF U.S.
IMFER IALI S I I N ITS WAR OF AGGRESSION, WILL CERTAINLY COME TO NO
GOOD END.
THE HEROIC VIETNAMESE PEOPLE ARE INVINCIBLE. IN THE PAST MONTH
OR 90, THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE, FIGHTING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
WITH THE CAMBODIAN AND LAOTIAN PEOPLE, HAVE tJON BRILLIANT VICTORIES
IN THE STRLGGLE AGAINST NE EXPANSION OF U.S. IMPERIALIST
AGGRESSION. THEIR STRLGGLE IS NOT AN ISOLATED ONE. THE PEOPLE OF'
THE WHOLE WORLD STAND ON THE SIDE OF THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE AND ON
THE SIDE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE OTHER I NDO C HI NF. S E COUNTRIES.
THE CHINESE AND VIETNAMESE PEOPLE ARE BROTHERS AND COMRADES IN
ARMS, AS CLOSELY RELATED AS LIPS AND TEETH AND SHARING WEAL AND
WOE. NO MATTER HDW U.S. IMPERIALISM ESCALATES THE WAR, THE
CHINESE PEOPLE, AS THEY HAVE IN THE FAST, WILL RESOLUTELY SUPPORT
THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE OF THE OTHER INDOCHINESE
COUNTRIES IN THEIR WAR OF RESISTANCE AGAINST U.S. AGGRESSION
AND FOR NATIONAL SAL V AT I O N .
THE ACTS OF U.S. IMPERIALISM IN FRANTICALLY EXPANDING ITS WAP
OF AGGRESSION CANNOT SAVE IT FROM TOTAL DEFEAT IN VIETNAM
AND ALL INDOCHINA, AND CANNOT CHANGE THE FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT
THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE ARE BOUND TO WIN.
