China: Falun Gong Cult Appeal Rejected! (21.11.2016)

On August 9th, 2016, the Pingchang County People’s Court held that the first instance of Wu Zhenghe’s use of Falun Gong Cult propaganda was motivated by a criminal intent to undermine the Socialist State and its Criminal Law. This behaviour constituted the crime of using a cult organization to undermine the law. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 100, 1 and 64 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China, Wu Zhenghe was sentenced to three years in prison and fined 2,000 yuan. The illegal publicity materials involved in the case were confiscated. 

After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, Wu Zhenghe filed an appeal with the Intermediate People’s Court of Bazhong City on August 15th, 2016. Fter due consideration, the Intermediate People’s Court of Bazhong City ruled – on September 28th – that the appeal was rejected and that the original judgment was to be upheld. Wu Zenghe had demonstrated a historical criminal intent and a willingness to ‘act’ on this intent. Although influenced by ‘foreign’ forces hostile t the Communist Party of China – it is the responsibility of each Chinese Citizen to uphold the law of the Socialist State and in so doing, protect one another from counter-Revolutionary influences and activities.

Mr Pol Pot - Hero

KAMPUCHEA: POL POT’S NAME WRITTEN IN THE CHINESE LANGUAGE! (6.6.2019)

Within the Khmer language the name ‘Pol Pot’ is written as ‘ប៉ុល ពត’, with the Chinese language ideograms suggesting the meaning of a ‘Bull-like Individual Who Delivers a Special Message with the Force of a Wave (hitting the shore)’. I intend to carefully research this subject and move through its terrain very carefully, with the idea that this research will encourage others to think for themselves and not accept the rather lazy mainstream narratives at face-value. As usual I reject a priori the bourgeois interpretations as being bias and unreliable, whilst seeking to establish facts from primary Chinese language (and other) sources. There is no need to ‘defend’ this method as it is nothing other than good academic practice.

Why Did Democratic Reform Take Place in Tibet in 1959?

Change the Quality of Ideas, Improve Overall Development 

Dan Zengzhu, Deputy Secretary-General of the Tibet Autonomous Region Government, said that since the democratic reform, the biggest and most fundamental change in the snowy plateau has been the change of people’s perspective, the change of people’s ideas and the improvement of their quality compared with the achievements of material life. It laid the most solid foundation for the modernization of Tibet. 

Wen Weibing is a lawyer of a law firm in Beijing. In 2014, he signed up for the volunteer service of “Tibet Without Lawyers” and was sent to Zhacao County, Shannan City. “The legal awareness of the Tibetan people is constantly improving.” Wen Weibing said that farmers and herdsmen are no longer fighting to make trouble, but seek counsel and constructive debate. After the expiration of the two-year service, he proposed to the General Office to open a branch in Lhasa and was approved. In addition, the awareness of the masses in Tibet has grown. Gelong, a 48-year-old villager from Yuba Village, Jiazhulin Town, Gongga County, Shannan City, borrowed 320,000 yuan from the bank through the farmer’s joint guarantee. In the past few years, the family has had three cars and nearly 2 million yuan in fixed assets. In the remote back town of Medog County, with the help of the bank’s “financial husband” service, the people are equally skilled in the use of POS machines. 

From the serfs who have no life and no life guarantees in the past to the natural people in the traditional farming society, the natural people who drive cattle and the shepherds – today’s modern citizens now possess a legal consciousness, business consciousness and scientific consciousness, the “people” in the snowy plateau have experienced a profound inner and outer changes. At present, Tibet not only has its own master’s and doctoral degrees, but also has a group of experts and scholars who are well-known throughout the country. Since the establishment of the autonomous region, nearly 30 research institutes have been created, with more than 52,000 professional and technical personnel, and a number of academic achievements, as well as generating a reputation in the world.  

South Devon: Visiting Torquay Museum! (31.8.2018)

We often see various statues of Darwin in the museums in London, but we also enjoy visiting Down House in Kent – his former home. Considering how much research and data we have access to in London, Torquay Museum contains objects that really impressed us, and which were presented in a highly beneficial (and educational) manner, particularly for the children. The museum now has purpose-built learning and play areas for younger explorers, whilst the adult visitors can learn from the historical narratives tactfully covering exploration, imperialism and looting. It is a tricky business presenting this type of information, but we can state that the staff of Torquay Museum have created a very progressive atmosphere that favours ongoing learning over dogmatic versions of history.
