Taiwan Central Bank Redesign the New Taiwan Dollar - No Sun Yatsen!

China: Mainland Criticizes Taiwan DPP Banknote Redesign as ‘De-Sinicization’! (6.2.2026)

Initially, as a Hakka, Sun Yatsen led a left-leaning Nationalism – but following 1911 and the first reforms – right-wing factions came to the forefront and took-over the movement. This led to the US-backed Chiang Kai-Shek assuming power who carried-out mass-murders of Chinese people – and even attacked and burned-down the famous Shaolin Temple in Henan (during 1928) – as the Head Monk refused to align the Temple with US imperialist intentions (there was also Chinese Nationalists who were lay-disciples of the Shaolin Temple – and Chiang Kai-Shek considered this a threat to his political power). Indeed, this Nationalist lurch to the right led to the rise of the separate Communist Party of China (CPC) – which split from Nationalist on ideological grounds. The Nationalists deviated away from Sun Yatsen’s (Chinese) vision and embraced a US model of predatory capitalism and liberal democracy – two completely alien concepts to the ethnic Chinese mind. The CPC chose Marxist-Leninism and centralised democracy – and this dichotomy explains the situation between Taiwan and the Mainland today. The Nationalists invaded Taiwan in the late 1940s and have dominated it ever since. Under Trump II – White (Eurocentric) attitudes are being inflicted once again throughout Taiwan society.

DPRK: Kim Jong Un Receives “78th KPA Founding Anniversary” Congratulations from Friendly Military Attaches Corps! (5.2.2026)

05/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Part of the US embargo on World Socialism is the banning and supressing of important news stories from the most progressive areas of the world. This policing of removing Socialism from the everyday discourse of the West – is often interspersed with the placing of racist and misinforming news articles designed to demonise all the Socialist countries. Of course, this is part of a Socialist World Revolution that has not yet spread all over the world. Socialist countries are spread-out like oasis dispersed throughout the capitalist countries which denote success in terms of the growth and efficiency of the exploitation of the workers. In this regard, the capitalist West views Socialist progression – that is, the freedom of the workers – as an “error”. On the other-hand, all the progressive nations of the earth appear on display in this article in the DPRK.

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Using Inner & Outer Culture to Construct Socialism! (4.2.2026)

04/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Supplies arrived on the back of walking peasants – and/or soldiers, guerrillas, and volunteers riding bicycles, etc. These supplies came from the USSR and China, as well as other places. The Laotian people achieved their Revolution in 1975 – following the North Vietnamese victory other the US-derived South Vietnam regime. Indeed, it has been written that Laos has been the most bombed nation on earth – with the landscape full of bomb-craters and dangerous unexploded ordnance. Simce then, Laos Communist Party has been navigating the vaguaries and peculiarities of the political and cultural climate. Laos is a Buddhist-Socialist Republic which preserves a strong Theravada Buddhist tradition. As a consequence, Marxist-Leninism and Dhamma overlap and intersect seamlessly. By clicking the above link you will find a translated article on the BMA-UK site regarding how Laos is using inner and outer cultivation to build Socialism!

China: 1832 Map Proves “Diaoyu Isles” [钓鱼岛] Part of Qing Dynasty Sovereignty! (2.2.2026)

02/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I came across this “2012” Xinhua article recently – and decided to present here, now that Trump II is forcing the US colonies in the South China Sea (Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines) to agitate the “Sleeping Dragon” (as the Napoleon Bonaparte referred to China) – as a means to put matters straight. Firstly, with all due respect to my American Comrades (and the PRC government) – I will not tolerate the vulgarisation of the (my) beautiful “English” language – Chaucer used it correctly, Shakespeare used it correctly, I had to learn it correctly (as did Friedrich Engels), and so does everyone else (in my humble opinion). Secondly, ignore Wikipedia, it is a CIA Psy-Ops designed to infiltrate every mind in every household (particularly children) in the West – hence the reason it is permitted to remain “free”. Thirdly, frequent yourself with reliable information (I am surprised by how many Americans bravely manage to do this – from within the lion’s cage, so-to-speak). Japan is currently sword-rattling over who owns the “Diaoyu Dao” or “Diao Yu Isles” – but what does this name mean?

England: Latin Medieval Seal – Reading “+SECRETVM . RICARDI” [with Roman Gem-Stone] Unearthed! (2.2.2026)

02/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The inscription – which reads +SECRETVM . RICARDI – shows the seal was created specifically for a man called Richard.

He would have used it to make a mark in hot wax to seal his letters and documents.

Richard appears to have specifically chosen the carved gemstone, known as an intaglio – possibly as a way of showing he had an understanding of the Classical world, according to Miss Rogerson.

She said: “It definitely would have been an indicator of the owner’s social status as a way of saying, ‘I have the means of obtaining something from a far gone time and place’ and indicated they were quite important – or saw themselves as quite important.”

China: Archaeology Proves “Oldest” [5,300-Year-Old] Continuous Culture! (1.2.2026)

01/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

A cornerstone of this research is the Erlitou site in central China’s Henan. Excavated since 1959, this site is widely regarded by Chinese scholars as a major urban center associated with the Xia Dynasty (2070-1600 B.C.), traditionally considered China’s first dynasty.

The most critical discovery at the site is the presence of China’s earliest grid-patterned capital layout, offering rare insights into the capital system of early states.

Erlitou is part of a constellation of key sites. From the ritual complexes at the Niuheliang site in Liaoning to the exquisite pottery at the Taosi site in Shanxi, each discovery has helped clarify the picture of China’s early history.

This grand narrative of continuity is given tangible form through a national network of 150 major archaeological sites, 65 national archaeological parks, and over 240 on-site museums. Together, they form an indelible material record spanning millions of years of human history, 10,000 years of culture and over 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.
