Why China Should Use ‘British’ English in its Official Translations! (11.9.2023)

Furthermore, there is no such entity as ‘British’ English – as this is an insulting designation that reduces our original language of ‘English’ to a relative construct, or just one version amongst many. This is similar to reducing Chinese script to the scripts as developed by its Korean or Japanese cousins. Indeed, American-English is a vehicle which has been historically developed and designed to express a) US anti-intellectualism, and b) US racial (anti-Chinese) attitudes. This is why I reject the Chinese State habit of officially using ‘American-English’ when translating Chinese-language articles into ‘English’. The English language as spoken and written in the UK is ancient and historically pre-exists any modern notions of Western racism (unlike its Ameican counter-part – which expresses the racism within which US culture has developed). Therefore, the English as used in the UK possesses a historical ‘strength in depth’ – that can be moulded in any direction as required.

UK: British Museum Faces Renewed Calls to Return Cultural Relics! (7.9.2023)

“They are the subject of loot. They were illegally taken out of the country,” Tijani said. He demanded the British Museum give back the Benin Bronzes, which British forces took in 1897.

“It is irrespective whether they are safe there. That is not an issue. The issue is that these are stolen artefacts, and they should be returned to Nigeria to the communities that they belong to,” he added.

Bell Ribeiro-Addy, chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations, threw light on the “insulting ridiculousness” of the British Museum’s refusal to return artefacts to their country of origin on security grounds.

“One of the most insulting reasons that they’ve given is that the other countries that these items belong to would either not be able to take care of them or they are likely to be stolen,” she said. “But you’ve got people in this country putting them on eBay.”

Southeast Asia: Britain (and the US) Must NOT Be Allowed To Infiltrate the Region! (5.9.2023)

This has included the wasting of millions of pounds upon the housing and financing of so-called ‘Ukrainian’ Neo-Nazi ‘refugees’ – whilst British people go homeless, suffer starvation and die from medical neglect (as the Tories try to transform the UK into a second-rate US State). Poverty in the UK is rife amongst the working-class – so why is this unelected Tory government wasting UK tax-payer money on Neo-Nazi ‘tourists’ – and what is considered by many Tories to be an ‘obscure’ Southeast Asian (Socialist) State? The answer is that the ‘US’ has ordered the UK to attempt a political counter-strike in Southeast Asia by enacting a charm offensive against the perceived influence of ‘China’ in the region! The UK is wasting (again) millions of pounds in Laos (a Buddhist country I support) – but this will not appear in the mainstream UK press simply because the Tories do not want the general public knowing exactly what they have been doing in their name and with their tax money!

China: British Museum – “No Idea” How Much Loot It Possesses – Or Where It Might Be! (28.8.2023)

The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies collected in the British Museum is the closest copy of the prestigious Chinese painting by Gu Kaizhi. It is one of the most famous collections of the museum. It was plundered from the court of the Qing Dynasty during the Siege of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900.

There are very few tri-colored Luohan statues of the Liao Dynasty in the world and those collected in the British Museum were stolen overseas from the Yixian County, Hebei Province.

The British Museum has refused to return the cultural relics over the years mainly on the grounds and basis of the British Museum Act, which was amended by the British Parliament in 1963 and basically prohibits the museum from returning any of its collections.

The British leading human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC said “The trustees of the British Museum have become the world’s largest receivers of stolen property, and the great majority of their loot is not even on public display.”

China: Exposing the US and UK Terrorists Through the ‘Hong Kong’ Chronicles [香港編年史]! (5.5.2023)

The US and UK are colluding with Pro-Separatist elements of Taiwan (a rogue region of the People’s Republic of China) – to generate ‘division’ between the 56 ethnic groups that constitute the Mainland ‘Chinese’ nation. This includes ‘White’ and ‘Black’ people born in China – who are ‘Chinese Citizens’ by right of birth. Modern China is a multi-Ethnic and multi-National State – within which all forms of Han chauvinism has been outlawed since 1949 – and subsequently ‘educated’ out of the ‘Socialist’ population! Of course, in the Taiwan region, US influence ensures that Han chauvinism is retained and that Chinese people born into the (Bourgeois) capitalist system on that island are enthused with racist and religionist attitudes that are Eurocentric in nature (maintained by the incessant US Missionaries) and completely incompatible with life in a progressive, developed and affluent China!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: The NOT So Strange Case of Shamil “The White!”! (25.4.2023)

And then we come to the elephant in room (no pun intended). Oddly, contrary to the reasoning of the ‘Track A Nazi Merc’ author – ‘Shamil’ might well be an Indian ‘Aryan’ (Sanskrit for ‘noble’) whilst simultaneously remaining ‘outside’ of the Hitlerite definition of the term (the former is thousands of years old whilst the latter only dates from the 1920s). The term ‘Aryan’ and ‘Arhat’, etc, are ancient Sanskrit and Pali terms found within Hinduism and Buddhism. Thousands of years ago, light-skinned outsiders migrated into North India – displacing the dark-skinned local inhabitants – pushing the toward the South (these people now form the ‘Dravidian’ population). Most of what is today considered ‘Indian’ culture derives from the ‘integration’ of these two bodies of cultural distinctiveness (including the ‘colour-based’ Caste-system which was supposedly ‘abolished’ in 1947 – but continues unabated to this day)
