In describing British and Malayan efforts at combating the threat from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and its Malayan affiliates during the Malayan Emergency Of 1948-1960 historian Karl Hack
refers to how the British applied a policy of "screwing down" Communist supporters to gain victory.
Conceptually "screwing down" involved penalising local Chinese to the point that the cost of in any way supporting the aims of the CPC became prohibitive. "Screwing down" by "population control" methods included new villages which were a means of separating Communist insurgents from the Chinese populace that supported them. As Hack puts it:
......large numbers of "resettlement areas" were created, ideally to be surrounded by barbed wire and lighting, and later renamed "New Villages". The aim was to undermine the communists' support network, the Min Yuen (the civilian supporters) , by a combination of resettlement and a strengthening of civil administration, communications and police posts in populated areas.
Australia's ASIO and ASIS would have been quite well versed in "screwing down" methods given the long established fraternal links between them and Malaysia's Special Branch which is regarded as one of the best in the world in dealing with the CPC threat.
In Australia the CPC's infiltration of community groups has been underway for at least the two decades, but now more obvious given the CPC's not so subtle efforts to influence Australian institutions.The infiltration of Australia's legal establishment is a good example (see story below), even if not properly understood by the legal establishment.
In any event the matter of Zhu Minshen and the CPC's infiltration of the Australian legal establishment is not a matter that can be ignored; the adverse long term implications for national security are too great. There then is one area where "screwing down" concepts should be executed immediately.
