Communism Gives You Share of Earth? Version C, Chinese (poster distributed in Manila)
A Chinese-language poster with a rough sketch of a wooden grave cross and a mound of earth, asking in brush-style characters whether the Communist Party will give you land, and in red asking the Hungarian people. It is issued under the Philippine Chinese Anti-Communist League name. The tell is fear-appeal with card-stacking: a grave answers the question and Hungary is the single example.
