Ningxia: China’s Disabled People Strive to Achieve Self-Reliance! (5.11.2023)

The disabled community in Ningxia has garnered significant social attention for its impressive achievements in sports. During the recently concluded 4th Asian Para Games held in Hangzhou, athletes from Ningxia achieved notable success.

To nurture the artistic talents of disabled youths, the regional government has also decided to give a subsidy of 10,000 yuan to each of such individuals with abilities in singing, dance, opera and painting.

Ma Juan, a student from Xiji County in Ningxia, is a gifted painter who has received government financial assistance to attend an art school. All her family members are disabled due to a genetic disease.

Australia: New Report Finds People with Disabilities Facing “High Rates of Abuse & Exploitation”! (29.9.2023)

The blogger draws a parallel between the treatment of disabled people in Australia and the controversial policies of the UK’s Tory and LibDems Coalition Government (2010-2015), accused of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ by a UN investigation for drastic cuts to support for people with disabilities. The blogger notes that this deprivation led to significant fatalities among disabled individuals. They compare the situation to Australia, where a landmark report calls for major reforms to make the country more inclusive for disabled people. The report, based on a four-and-a-half-year inquiry, recommended 222 changes, including passing a Disability Rights Act and ending segregated education by 2051.

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: New Law Assists Visually Impaired Citizens! (2.9.2023)

In Beijing, Liao Juan, an associate professor at Capital Normal University’s School of Management, said the law closely addresses the demands and expectations of the elderly and the disabled in terms of system design, establishing standards, and construction requirements.

She said the process of formulating the law is the best example of how the nation’s top legislature responds to public needs.

To implement the law and make it work effectively, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it will give stronger support to technological innovation in constructing accessible services.

The use of new technologies to guide the blind, along with voice control and speech recognition, will be encouraged, the ministry said, adding that it will also require enterprises to “bridge the digital gap” to ensure the elderly and disabled enjoy technological convenience.

The China Disabled Persons’ Federation has promised to organize visits to accessible facilities and provide feedback to relevant departments.

The federation also said it will compile and publish more books in Braille and provide versions for those with poor vision.
