China: New Law Assists Visually Impaired Citizens! (2.9.2023)

02/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In Beijing, Liao Juan, an associate professor at Capital Normal University’s School of Management, said the law closely addresses the demands and expectations of the elderly and the disabled in terms of system design, establishing standards, and construction requirements.

She said the process of formulating the law is the best example of how the nation’s top legislature responds to public needs.

To implement the law and make it work effectively, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it will give stronger support to technological innovation in constructing accessible services.

The use of new technologies to guide the blind, along with voice control and speech recognition, will be encouraged, the ministry said, adding that it will also require enterprises to “bridge the digital gap” to ensure the elderly and disabled enjoy technological convenience.

The China Disabled Persons’ Federation has promised to organize visits to accessible facilities and provide feedback to relevant departments.

The federation also said it will compile and publish more books in Braille and provide versions for those with poor vision.

Email: Torquay Museum – Japanese Battle Kite! (29.8.2023)

29/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

At the above link I have added a blog post to our family martial arts website regarding this medieval Japanese battlefield ‘kite’! It resides in the Torquay Museum in South Devon and even when we visited – there was not the usual plaque giving the provenance of this piece – other than a description of what it is. I have written to the Museum to see if I can clear-up the mystery as to the origins of this artefact. As maters stand, this is a bamboo and material device that acts as a ‘kite’ able to lift a grown man of the era into the air whilst carrying a bow and supply of arrows! He is barefoot and stands on a single bamboo pole whilst his body is held in place by two crossed baboo poles in the centre of the device!

China Urges US – Stop “Racially Profiling” Chinese Students for False National Security Reasons! (29.8.2023)

“This seriously harms the lawful rights and interests of the Chinese students and undermines normal people-to-people exchanges and educational cooperation between the two countries,” Wang said.

“We urge the United States to genuinely welcome Chinese students as it has said, withdraw the biased and discriminatory Proclamation 10043, and stop going after Chinese students in the United States in the name of national security,” Wang said.

China will continue to take necessary measures to defend Chinese citizens’ lawful rights and interests and remind its students heading for the United States to be mindful of such risks, the spokesperson added.

WWII: Non-White Recruits in the Imperial Japanese Army and Nazi German Wehrmacht and Waffen SS! (19.8.2023)

19/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

I know that the Japanese Military possessed Korean, Taiwanese and Manchurian Military Units (Units that reflected Japan’s colonial presence throughout Asia) – but as far as I know – the Japanese Military never recruited any White, Black or Arab soldiers. This just goes to show how ‘racist’ the Japanese Imperial System actually was – with even ‘Chinese’ derived Okinawan Units being deemed ‘Japanese’. When the Imperial Japanese captured large numbers of ethnic Indian POWs serving in the Indian British Army – around 10,000 ‘volunteered’ to join the so-called ‘Indian National Army’ Commanded by Chandra Bose – and armed by the Japanese. Chandra Bose was a despicable racist, a good friend of Hitler (although he never quite saw eye to eye with Hitler – as Hitler thought India needed another 100-years of British Colonial dominance to bring the poverty-stricken country into modernity), and an ardent anti-Soviet and anti-Socialist. His ‘INA’ proved virtually useless on the battlefield – with the majority of Indian POWs remaining loyal to the Indian British Army (a separate entity to the ‘British Army’).

Chongqing: China Remembers 140th Anniversary of General Stilwell’s Birth! (10.8.2023)

10/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

As a consequence, the presence of Stilwell reminds the world of a more enlightened time in US foreign policy. The ‘Stilwell Museum’ is situated in ‘Chongqing’ – whilst ‘Stilwell Town’ is to be found at the Qinglong section of the Yunnan-Guizhou Highway. Chongqing was formerly part of South-East Sichuan province until 1997 (when it became an ‘Independent Municipality’) – whilst Qinglong county is located in the South-West of Guizhou province. Therefore, the ‘Stilwell Museum’ and ‘Stilwell Town’ are situated around 422 miles apart and should not be confused. Remember, so stubborn and difficult to defeat was the Kwantung Army of Imperial Japan – that the US requested that the Soviet Red Army should intercede and enter North-East China during late 1945 – which it did to great military success! By 1950, the US was rewarding this Soviet sacrifice by broadcasting propaganda lies stating the Red Army had committed endless ‘atrocities’! The Chinese people, of course, have the utmost respect for the USSR and its defeat of Imperial Japan – as once again it was the Soviets that saved the world from fascism!

Manifesto of the Communist Party By Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels [1848] – Text & Speech! (6.8.2023)

06/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Those with abilities should help those without abilities – and ALL should be lifted-up together! This is a dialectically pivotal text which sparks-off all further dialectical development in the human mind. My children, for instance, although NOT trapped in any form of ‘dogma’ – academically perform regularly in the top 5% of the country (UK) – simply because of the effect of the associated brilliance of the thought forms of Marx and Engels! Therefore, it is not just the theoretical content that is important, but the manner in which the content is derived, constructed and presented. The way in the content unfolds! It is a method of continuous, pristine creativity! It is the essence of Communist ‘Futurism’ – as Vladimir Mayakovsky once observed!
