Empire State Building goes red to celebrate communist China
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OUTRAGE?
New York is seeing red over the decision to turn the city’s highest beacon — and one of America’s symbols for free enterprise — into a shining monument honoring China’s communist revolution Wednesday night.
The Empire State Building is set to be illuminated in red and yellow lights to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the bloody communist takeover.
The tower is lit in white most nights, but nearly every week gets splashed with color to honor holidays and heroes — red, white and blue for Independence Day, green for St. Patrick’s Day, true blue for New York’s Finest.
The building’s managers say they have honored a host of countries, including Canada, India and Australia, but as of Wednesday that list of honorees now includes one of the world’s last great authoritarian regimes.
Tourists were squirming as the city’s 102-story landmark — which gained a special significance for New Yorker’s after 9/11, when it again became Manhattan’s tallest building — was being converted into a shining red beacon for Chinese communism.

Historians of the revolution noted the unimaginable — and often forgotten — toll of the revolution and China’s communist rule, which has taken tens of millions of lives through years of war, famine, reeducation and wholesale slaughter.“China gets treatment that other dictatorships can only dream of — a free pass on human rights,” said Arthur Waldron, a history professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
The revolution and its aftermath may have been deadlier than any world war: though estimates vary, research from the historian Chang Jung shows that as many as 72 million people died as a result.
Is this another Obama foreign policy blunder? More than likely, it’s the fact that China holds $1.2 trillion in U.S. reserve assets, and they’re flexing their muscle.
But if you consider:
- Obama’s history as a member of the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America
- his time as a member of the socialist “New Party” in 1996
- his admission that he “carefully” chose and sought out Marxist friends and professors and attended “socialist conferences” while he attended Columbia University
- his choice of a self-described communist as his “Green Jobs Czar”
- his penchant for bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia
- his eagerness to appease Russia, and
- willingness to meet with Iran without preconditions,
…it wouldn’t be surprising if Chairman O had a hand in it, too.

UPDATE: I’ve read on Twitter that the Empire State Building folks were changing the colors in reaction to public outrage. But according to the ESB lighting schedule page, they’re still red & yellow for China until tomorrow.
