China: Record of “Stolen Bronzes” By Imperialists Compiled! (20.4.2026)

Zhu, also the lead editor of the books, said previous such surveys focused mainly on bronze bells, cauldrons and ritual vessels. This collection categorizes nearly 300 types of bronze artifacts, ranging from weapons, tools, lamps and mirror stands to irons, coal rakes and dice. One example is a human-shaped lamp stand currently at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Previously, scholars at home and abroad generally assumed that there were over 3,000 Chinese bronze wares in overseas collections. However, the “Collection of Chinese Bronzes in Overseas Collections” has expanded this figure by more than sevenfold.

“We have created an identity document for each piece of relics,” Zhu said. The team found that only a few relics have clear records of legal trade, diplomatic gifts or legitimate export.

As the compendium points out, the primary channels for these bronzes leaving China from the late 19th century to mid-20th century were looting, smuggling and war plunder. Western collectors and dealers bought large numbers through agents inside China, forming an illegal supply chain.

Venezuela: Maduro & the Masses Remember Mao Zedong’s Birthday! (26.12.2025)

Thanks to leadership like Mao’s, China has regained its millenary power, transforming itself into a superpower in knowledge, education, and technology. Our admiration lies in his ability to restore dignity to a nation. His figure represents rebellion and the construction of a project of his own, elements that inspire our homeland in the defense of its sovereignty and independence.

Imperial Japanese Officer - Taiwan Massacre

Taiwan: Imperial Japanese Army Massacres 1870-1945! (17.9.2024)

That is, excluding the population growth rate between the Liu Mingchuan Period to 1895 (some 11 years), Taiwan’s population plummeted by 600,000 to 700,000 in less than a year – due to Japan’s policy of killing and expelling Taiwanese people! Between 1895-1897 the Imperial Japanese permitted ethnic Chinese people to leave Taiwan – but official figures record that only 4,456 Taiwanese people took this route of relocating to Mainland China. This process involved an official procedure of application – which was granted (or denied) by the Imperial Japanese Authorities on a case-by-case bases. Therefore, no matter how the numbers are calculated, from September 1895 to the end of 1896 (just over 1 year), the number of “unnatural” (or “massacred”) deaths of Taiwanese people suffered at the hands of the Imperial Japanese reached at least 500,000 – which is a credible figure.

St Thomas NHS Hospital: Fascist Desecration of “Mary Seacole” Statue! (15.8.2024)

Essentially, the situation comes down to this. The adherence of fascist ideology lack self-control. The fascists lack the ability to think good and clear thoughts and to act in a decisive and constructive manner. The irregular functioning of their thought processes is manifest in the illogical movements of their bodies. All sense of logicality is lost from start to finish. Such individuals are NOT happy with the present moment they exist within – and want to tear down the familiar. Like all religionists – the fascist thinks that a different world exists beyond that which can be experienced every day – and that a special person will emerge from the masses (a new Hitler, Mussolini or Hirohito) that possesses an innate (religious-like) ability to put all things right and remove all unwanted people (and signs of their presence) from society.

Indonesia “Too Close” to China – British Government Incited an Anti-Chinese Massacre! (26.5.2024)

Soe Tjen Marching is a lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. Her father was persecuted and imprisoned by the Indonesian military. She said that the actions against the Chinese in 1965 “led to a large extent to generating lethal levels of suspicion and discrimination between Chinese and non-Chinese Indonesians. Therefore, the British government urgently needs to apologize.”

Tabor’s Steve Alston said his organization was “appalled that the UK government is involved in a disinformation campaign that incites violence”. Tabor is an NGO that monitors Human Rights issues in Indonesia. Alston said: “Faced with this evidence, the UK government must now commit to launching an investigation by an independent prosecutor and completing it within 18 months.”

UK: Father’s Day! (18.6.2023)

18/06/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

and so I have acquired the Box Set of the British TV Series ‘Catweazle’! This was first on our TV screens in 1969 (written by Richard Carpenter) and tells the story of ‘Catweazle’ an eleventh century CE Wizard – who mistakenly manages to travel forward in time to the 20th century! Whatever happens – it is just the ‘next step’ and does not really matter in the greater scheme of things!
