Rwanda: The [2021] Beating Case Involving Mine-Owner Sun Shujun (孙树军)! (4.12.2023)

According to African media reports, the Chinese businessman’s name is “Sun Shujun” (孙树军), and he is the Manager of a mine in Western Rwanda. In 2021, a video of Sun Shujun whipping a (thieving) Rwandan-worker tied a pole – was posted on social networking sites – causing an uproar. When the Rwandan people killed one another in the millions during the 1990s (during tribal-orientated genocides) – the Courts at that time emphasised the ancient African wisdom of “Peace” and “Reconciliation”. Obviously, as can be seen from the case of Sun Shujun – such a mature and admirable form of African justice does not apply to non-African people.

BMA (UK): Examples of Anti-China Racism in Dad’s Army Scripts (1968-1977) – [31/10/23]

The second round-up was perpetuated by the incumbent Labour Party in 1946 – and is the reason a ‘Chinatown’ nolonger exists in East London. During this ‘purge’ – around 2,000 Chinese people were ‘kidnapped’ by the Police (usually ‘males’ on their way to work early in the morning) – and forcibly placed on ships bound for China. Those who had ‘White’ (English) partners were visited by the British Police and Social Workers and were told that they were ‘sexual deviants’ whose ‘mixed-race’ children will be taken away and placed into ‘Care’ – if any legal challenge was raised against this government-sponsored ethnic cleansing.

Solid Investigation Exposes Western Fabrication of “Forced Labour” Fallacy! (21.10.2023)

Some biased Western media sources promoted the spread of the “forced labour” accusation by employing several tactics, including “criminalizing” the Chinese government, demonizing China’s poverty alleviation policies, stigmatizing assistance measures for transfer employment, distorting service work for labour transfer employment, and attacking China by citing misleading and tendentious claims, according to the article.

Tuersun Aibai also found that when hyping up the “forced labour” smear, a considerable number of the Xinjiang-related stories cited anti-China politicians and scholars to support their narratives, while lacking field research and in the absence of first-hand information.

“Their stories and quotes, without investigating the actual situation on the ground in Xinjiang, lack verifiability,” the expert wrote.

Xinhua Headlines: Unscrupulous Cyber Spying Sheds Light on US Hegemonic Paranoia! (20.9.2023)

According to Campbell, in 1994, the NSA shared relevant information with an American competitor of the European consortium Airbus, helping it secure a 6-billion-U.S.-dollar contract with Saudi Arabia instead of Airbus.

Another case raised by Campbell suggests that U.S. company Raytheon used NSA intelligence to win a 1.4-billion-dollar contract for radar systems supply to Brazil, defeating France’s Thomson-CSF.

Meanwhile, the United States has been working to militarize cyberspace, develop offensive cyber capabilities, and create systematic cyberattack platforms.

In 2017, cyberspace was officially listed alongside the sea, land, air, and space as the “fifth domain” of the U.S. military.

Militarization of the kind will exacerbate the risk of direct military conflict and can lead to unpredictable consequences, Andrey Krutskikh, former director of the Department of International Information Security at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has noted.

Japanese Scholar: “Truths in History Needs to be Told to More People!” (18.9.2023)

According to Matsuno, Japan’s WWII-related records have been transferred to the National Archives of Japan (NAJ) by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, while some diplomatic and military-related documents are kept by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.

Every once in a while, the NAJ would release batches of newly processed historical materials, among which Matsuno spotted the recently discovered documents.

The researcher pointed out that even when new materials are made available, they can remain obscure without substantial expertise and research skills, as searching for information using keywords like “Unit 731” or “epidemic prevention unit” yields little results.

EU: Von der Leyen Anti-Socialist Speech! 14.9.2023)

Qin Yan, a carbon analyst based in Oslo with financial data provider Refinitiv, said Von der Leyen emphasized staying course on Green Deal, but did not mention many concrete measures.

“Instead, she has continued to tone on ‘de-risking’ from China and solid supply chain etc, and the launch of an anti-subsidy investigation of Chinese EVs, as France requested,” Qin said.

“So this is more of a campaign speech with lots of China bashing than delivering concrete measures regarding the Green Deal.”

Ryszard Legutko, co-chair of the European Conservatives and Reformists, lashed out in front of von der Leyen.

“Is the EU in better shape today than 15 years ago? The answer is an emphatic no,” he said. “Something is rotten in the State of the Union. There is more than ever instability, tension and uncertainty.”

“As expected lots of self-congratulatory statements,” Bas Eickhout, a Dutch MEP of the Greens Group, wrote on X.

“But for the future? Very meager on Green Deal, lots of competitiveness bullshit bingo and very many dialogues. This is more an EPP Spitzenkandidatin speech …” he said, clearly referring to von der Leyen who has come under great pressure under her own European People’s Party on climate and migration policies.
