Sichuan: 88 Dead – 30 Missing After 6.8-Magnitude Earthquake in Southwest China! (10.9.2022)

A ‘natural’ anti-China racism runs-through the centre of and all Western discourse surrounding any discussion regarding China – and has ensured that although China’s Search and Rescue Services are provided ‘free of charge’ to any location in need around the world (and are always on the front-line of any disaster situation) – seldom is this altruistic attitude of ‘caring’ reciprocated (or applied) to Chinese citizens! In this case, many of the those Chinese citizens happen to be of ‘Tibetan’ ethnicity – an inconvenient fact the Western governments involved with the criminal 14th Dalai Lama Clique do not want their respective populations knowing about! Over a thousand years ago, tens of thousands of warlike Tibetans left their traditional regions to the Northwest of China and invaded the Southwest of China before settling into these newly conquered areas! This explains why millions of Tibetans are born in (and live very happy lives) in Southwest China – a process of Tibetan migration and colonisation that has ensured the permanent political and cultural cementing together of the Northwest and Southwest regions of China!

Roundup: “Historic” Decline in US Life Expectancy Reveals System Problems, Inequality! (9.8.2022)

The COVID-19 is not solely to blame. Longstanding health problems — rooted in poverty, discrimination and poor access to health care — left Native Americans and Alaska Natives particularly vulnerable to the virus, said Ann Bullock, former director of diabetes treatment and prevention at the federal agency of Indian Health Service.

The non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native population experienced the greatest decline of life expectancy by 1.9 years between 2020 and 2021, according to NCHS report.

The cumulative decline since the pandemic started, more than 6.5 years on average, has brought life expectancy to 65 among Native Americans and Alaska Natives — on par with the figure for all Americans in 1944.

One in seven Native Americans and Alaska Natives has diabetes, the highest rate among racial or ethnic groups in the United States, and many struggle with obesity or excess weight. Both conditions make people more susceptible to severe COVID-19, and crowded multigenerational housing adds to the risk, said The New York Times.

China Focus: CPC Corruption Fight Intensified in Past Decade! (8.9.2022)

Since 2012, the fugitive repatriation and asset recovery office under China’s Central Anti-Corruption Coordination Group has sent 12 teams overseas to carry out international law enforcement cooperation.

In the meantime, China has also introduced a raft of legislation in the field, including the Supervision Law, the revised Criminal Procedure Law and the Law on International Judicial Assistance in Criminal Matters.

As an active participant in and contributor to the global anti-corruption fight, China has taken an active part in anti-corruption consultations under the United Nations, APEC, G20 and other multilateral mechanisms.

Decoupling Viewed as Risky Bet for US! (8.9.2022)

The ordinary people of capitalist India – led as they are by the fascist (and inherently anti-China) sabre-rattling BJP – are no better off after 75 years of so-called ‘Independence’ from direct British rule! Indeed, the bourgeois class of India is still controlled by the bourgeois class of a ‘White’ Europe and remains subordinate to it! Vast areas of the Indian population languish in abject poverty, illiteracy and religious ignorance! By comparison, the ‘Socialist’ market forces of the CPC STOP the destructive nature of US free market economics at China’s geographical borders and do not allow such socially destructive and corrosive forces to enter China’s hinterland! China is recouping – through its ‘Socialist’ cleverness – the wealth stolen from China over the last four-hundreds years by the ‘one-sided’ behaviour and ‘unequal’ treaties imposed by the colonialist and imperialist forces of Europe, and ‘Communist’ China is doing this by beating the West at its own game!

Ministry Slams US Report on China’s CEE Influence

Since the launch of the China-CEEC cooperation mechanism 10 years ago, fruitful results have been achieved in more than 20 fields including trade and investment, interconnectivity, tourism and the response to COVID-19, Mao said, noting that all participants have benefited from such cooperation.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, China-CEEC trade expanded 8.4 percent year-on-year to $103.45 billion in 2020, and bilateral trade maintained an average annual growth rate of 8 percent between 2012 and 2020.

Large projects such as the Belgrade-Budapest Railway, which links Serbia and Hungary, benefit people in both countries, Mao added. The spokeswoman said that China has no geopolitical agenda in Central and Eastern Europe and always opposes the politicization of cooperation.
