Monument to Martyrs of Overseas Military Operations Draws Endless Stream of Visitors

DPRK: Young & Old Respectfully Visit Memorial Museum of Combat Feats of Overseas Military Operations! (6.5.2026)

The images of the dedicated soldiers so brave on the hard-fought battlefields silently dwelt in their individual photos on display but it seems that the cries they let out at their last moments throwing themselves into the enemy pillboxes and committing suicide with their last bullets and grenades still resound as an echo of eternal life, moving all the visitors, young or old, to tears.

The visitors feel great emotion surging inside them, seeing the undying pictures showing what the heroes wished and desired at their last moments and realizing how they laid down their lives to save their sacred honour as soldiers of the Korean People’s Army, turning their love for their beloved parents, wives and children into their hardened will to annihilate the enemy.

Going around the outdoor captured weaponry exhibition area, they recollect with great pride the feats of the warriors who demonstrated the ideological and spiritual superiority and invincible mettle of the Korean People’s Army by inflicting merciless death on the aggressors on alien battlefields by dint of Korean-style tactics.

My New English Translation of the Yijing!

UK: Honouring Richard Hunn – My Finished Translation of the Book of Change! (4.5.2026)

I was studying the reading (interpretation) of ancient and traditional Chinese ideograms with my teacher – Richard Hunn (1949-2006) – between 1989 and 2006 (as a private student). An offshoot of this was the mastering of the modern (simplified) Chinese text and its corresponding “pinyin” (spell-hear) phonetic alphabet. Since 1949, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has worked wonders reversing the 90% illiteracy-rate and turning it completely around. Today, throughout the entirety of China (a big place) around 90% of the people are literate with some elderly and/or disabled people suffering various (understandable) barriers to being able to read and write. In these cases, various literate citizens are tasked with reading and writing for these individuals – so as to ensure that all their rights are fully pursued and applied under the 1956 Socialist Constitution (and its various updates and improvements).

China: It Takes Time to Repair the US Lies About Tibet! (3.5.2026)

Mind you, he once chaired a meeting a Ruskin House in Croydon asking the bizarre question as to whether the USSR was “right” to fight the Nazi Germans during WWII – with the Trotskyite bias that it was not! And on and on it goes. Of course, it is the young who are vulnerable to this type of dishonesty on the left – as it drives them to the right. Not only that, but the current left is riddled with White dominance and perpetuates just as much racism as the right – whilst denying it is doing so. The corrupt left likes to pretend that whilst the White middle-class dominate it – the racism it displays does not exist. All lies of the highest calibre. Again, if you read Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho, and Che, etc, none of this is new and we must all battle every generation to make genuine Marxist-Leninism available for each new generation. The Morning Star eulogises the mirky world of professional boxing when everyone knows it is a thoroughly exploitative vehicle for the rich to pay the poor to beat each other up for the entertainment of the latter. The CPB continuously demands that its members support the bourgeois Labour Party – which proscribed the Communist Party in 1921. Trotsky would not only turn in his grave – but build a three-storey extension to celebrate this ridiculous revisionnism!

Qigong Must Conform to Modern Medical Knowledge!

China: Crackdown on False Advertising in Online Food Sales Launched! (2.5.2026)

In the 1980s, following the transition away from hard-line Marxist-Leninism (termed “opening-Up” in modern China discourse) – there was something referred to as the “Qigong Craze” which saw people perpetuating all types of practices and making all kinds of outrageous claims. One claim stated that if children and adults held a particular stance for a few minutes a day – they would lose weight without having to alter their dietry habits (an unscientific position). This loosening-up of ideological control led to the resurgence of all types of feudal ignorance – which the CPC has been re-educating out of the system ever since. This probably fits-in with Deng Xiaoping’s idea that it does not matter what colour the cat is – providing it catches the mouse. Of course, Deng was purged a few times by Mao Zedong before he finally rose to power – and I am sure the mouse would care profoundly about being caught by the cat (but would agree that the colour of the cat is superfluous if you happen to be an anxious mouse). The problem with commerce (advertising) is that it allows for exploitation if the system is not tightly controlled. The more outrageous the claim – the more attention the product attracts (attention equals sales). In the so-called “free market” (a market “free” of responsibility to the systemic well-being of its citizens) the market decides its own level moderated by law (such as in the capitalist countries). The CPC encourages commerce on the one-hand – whilst firmly regulates it on the other – it is the latter aspect which differs from the capitalist system as profit is redirected (continuously redistributed) back into the Socialist State. Wanting to make more profit than is required is the risk inherent in all commerce. Personal gain, if beyond a modest amount, runs the risk of corruption in China – although some people have become rich and remained firmly within the law.

International Workers' Day - 2026

China: May 1st – International Workers’ Day – Celebrating the Empowerment of Women & Girls! (1.5.2026)

Zhong, 49, who is also a deputy to the 14th National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, and an inheritor of the She ethnic martial arts, said: “Only a thriving village can preserve the She ethnic martial arts.”

Under her leadership, roads were repaired, streetlamps installed, and tourism facilities upgraded. Instead of moving away, many villagers became homestay hosts or martial arts performers. Thanks to rural tourism centered on the She ethnic martial arts, the village’s revenue jumped from 200,000 yuan ($28,000) in 2021 to 500,000 yuan in 2024.

According to the 2022 progress monitoring report of the Outline for Women’s Development in China (2021-30), women accounted for 54.3 percent of neighborhood committee members and 41.3 percent of neighborhood committee directors, as well as 26.1 percent of village committee members and 10.9 percent of village committee directors.

Data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs showed that in 2022, there were 489,000 village committees, with a total of 2.154 million village committee members. And there were 118,000 neighbourhood committees, comprising 663,000 neighbourhood committee members.
