China: Body of Korean War Veteran – Li Zhonghua (李中华) – [Missing Since 1958] Found in 2016! (24.9.2023)

The Police deduce that Li Zhonghua (and his fellow soldiers) set-off from Luoyang – with Li Zhonghua struggling to keep-up due to the after-effects of his leg wound (which slowed him down). As the country was in need, however, Li Zhonghua ‘Volunteered’ yet again and was given ‘Special Tasks’. Before setting-off from Luoyang that day – Li Zhonghua bought a copy of a local Newspaper – a datable object found on his body in 2016. Due to the harsh environment (and Li Zhonghua’s injured leg) – he soon fall behind as the troops advanced. In such an environment, a person alone, without food, clothing and water would not be able to retrace their steps or go onwards with any certainty. Li Zhonghua marched on until his strength gave-out – and a grateful country rediscovered his remains!

Why China Should Use ‘British’ English in its Official Translations! (11.9.2023)

Furthermore, there is no such entity as ‘British’ English – as this is an insulting designation that reduces our original language of ‘English’ to a relative construct, or just one version amongst many. This is similar to reducing Chinese script to the scripts as developed by its Korean or Japanese cousins. Indeed, American-English is a vehicle which has been historically developed and designed to express a) US anti-intellectualism, and b) US racial (anti-Chinese) attitudes. This is why I reject the Chinese State habit of officially using ‘American-English’ when translating Chinese-language articles into ‘English’. The English language as spoken and written in the UK is ancient and historically pre-exists any modern notions of Western racism (unlike its Ameican counter-part – which expresses the racism within which US culture has developed). Therefore, the English as used in the UK possesses a historical ‘strength in depth’ – that can be moulded in any direction as required.

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.

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

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)

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!
