The inscription discussed contains the name of the above Temple – plus the additional characters of – Miao (庙) = Temple and Ji (记) = Records – the full name of the inscription is “碧霞元君庙记”. This female Daoist Deity is associated with Mount Tai (泰山 – Tai Shan) situated in Shandong province – and is regarded as a protector of childbirth, and the instigator of each new dawn (which brings hope and renewal), as well as the good destiny of others. This Goddess governs human longevity and is said to judge the deceased. Interestingly, this Goddess listens to the prayers of children in distress – especially male children (sometimes ensuring male offspring) – but she never abandons the well-being of girls and women.

Western Terrorism Will Not Prosper in Hong Kong!

China: Experts Hit Back at West’s Racist “Double-Standards” in Unfounded Smears Against Article 23! (26.3.2026)

The ordinance is clear and precise, leaving no room for unjustified arguments, Chu Kar-kin, a veteran commentator based in the HKSAR and member of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Wednesday. The allegations from the West are groundless and subjective, as their laws are never superior or binding to other jurisdictions, he said.

In fact, the Article 23 legislation has taken at least six countries’ national security-related laws as references during the legislative process including 16 laws from the UK like the National Security Act 2023.

The definitions of crimes within the ordinance are clearer than those in the UK’s National Security Act 2023, Tang, the city’s Secretary for Security, noted on Wednesday. Cameron ignoring the vagueness of his own country’s legislation while making unreasonable criticisms of the Article 23 legislation displays hypocritical double standards, Tang said.

Beijing Exposes US Anti-China Racism Over Hong Kong! (25.3.2024)

The article also claimed that Hong Kong is “not enough” for having the “controversial” National Security Law for Hong Kong, and therefore comes a “sweeping” and “vague” new legislation.

A spokesperson for the office said the sensational accusation is just a “silver bullet” for the newspaper to catch readers’ eyes, saying such kinds of constant smears have deterred some businesspeople in the United States from visiting Hong Kong for the fear of being “locked up”, the spokesperson heard.

“I believe many Western media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, should take credit for their distorted Hong Kong impression,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the National Security Law implemented in 2020 covers only two of the seven categories of crimes under Article 23 of the Basic Law, namely secession and subversion, and the other five crimes, such as treason and theft of State secrets, are not included.

UK: Brand & Galloway “United” in National Socialism! (23.3.2024)

23/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Both Russell Brand and George Galloway represent the political far-right. Both suffer from the same irony that each rose to prominence pretending to represent the left. It is not the ideology of the left that has changed – but rather the inner dynamics of both individuals. Galloway ignored the “Left Out of Europe” (Lexit) campaign – which clearly described the EU as being a post-1945 US-controlled and directed anti-Socialist entity. In this regard, Galloway followed the virtue signalling of the mainstream media which sought to falsely present the debate as being either that of supporting the status quo (assisting the destruction of Socialism by default) or voting for the far-right. Galloway sat with his fascist chum – Nigel Farage – and took part in anti-migrant rallies hosted by multimillionaires! Both Galloway and Brand reject the “Internationalism” of the left – conflating this with an enforced multiculturalism or cosmopolitanism – and instead shockingly resort to a type of blanket racism which they think is an alternative to the presence of “difference” within our communities.

Trump: I Think We Know What’s Coming! (22.3.2024)

There will also be the deliberate intensification of Death Sentences carried-out upon Federal Death Row – which Trump can directly control when President. When he realised he had lost the election – Trump ordered that as many Black, Asian, Hispanic and poor White inmates should be executed immediately. This included women and the Disabled. Many of these people were on Death Row because they could not afford a proper legal defence and there existed a reasonable doubt about their guilt. Ttump did not care as long they died.

China: Ailing US Democracy Not Fit for Purpose! (21.3.2024)

D’Alema was one of many speakers who expressed concerns about money politics. Anthony Carty, an Irish professor of international law, told Xinhua that widespread “financial plutocrats” across Europe and North America have corrupted media and politics to serve their interests, leading to distrust between the public and the political sector.

Inequality poses another major threat to Western democracy. Citing a survey from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Georgios Katrougkalos, former Greek foreign minister, said that today majorities in all Western countries believe that their governments are not acting to promote the general interest but to “promote the interests of the wealthy and the powerful.”
