Soviet Red Army Soldiers Meet British Army Soldiers - Iran (1941)

When the Left & Right Adopt One-Another’s Ideals! (30.8.2025)

The history is perhaps not so clear-cut as above – as when the UK controlled Palestine between 1917-1947 – British troops were called upon to keep the warring Muslims and Zionists apart. This meant that both sides viewed the UK as an enemy – and a friend – depending upon what was happening. Zionists, for instance, carried-out some the most hideous terrorist attacks upon British citizens and military – as did the various Arab factions. Indeed, even today, some of the Palestinian factions fighting in and around Gaza – still celebrate an ambush (and massacre) of British soldiers which occurred in 1936 – and which is believed to have been encouraged by Adolf Hitler (a man who had very good relations with the Mufti of Palestine). Not only did certain German Jews (Zionists) in Palestine develop very a good Hitlerite relationship – but they did this in parallel (and in distinction to) the good relations the Arabs already possessed! Hitler, at least in the years prior to WWII, held all the cards in Gaza, and was the puppet-master pulling all the anti-British strings.

The Youth Hold the Future in Their Hands!

Laos: “If Youth are Empowered to Lead – Real Change Follows!” (13.8.2025)

“By first understanding our rights and choices in life, and knowing that our feelings are valid even if we are unsure or afraid, young people can transform from passive to active participants in life,” he says. Through peer education, social media content, and youth-led activities, Anan has taken on the role of mentor, guiding others through similar processes of discovery and empowerment. He sees voice as central to agency. “By finding our voice, we can contribute and be heard when decisions are made about our futures.”

China: Welfare System Pays for Uyghur Educational Trip! (5.8.2025)

She stood on tiptoe, her gaze piercing through the crowd as she watched the slowly rising China’s national flag. Tears of excitement streamed down her cheeks. After more than 4,000 kilometres of travel from a small town near the Taklimakan Desert to Tian’anmen Square in the capital of China, the young girl witnessed the solemn scene described in her textbooks for the first time of her life.

All 56 Ethnicities in China Are "Equal" in Law!

China: Socialist “Internationalism” Triumphs! (17.6.2024)

In an article by Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, that was published in January in Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee, he said that forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to guide people of all ethnic groups to uphold the vision of a community with a shared future by standing together through thick and thin.

“Ethnicity is the concept in terms of language and culture, and the Chinese nation is the political entity that all Chinese people belong to, no matter which ethnic group they are from,” Pan said.

By enhanced extensive exchanges and interactions during the past 10 years, people from different ethnic groups in China have learned more about one another and become more united, which has brought stability and prosperity to the country, he added.

2024 Shogun Series

Shogun: Exposing & Resisting Disney-fication! (7.3.2024)

On the other hand, if US-born (Asian) actors – pretending to be a) Japanese and b) medieval – presses your buttons then this show is definitely for you. An extra treat is in store if you like random White (European) people pretending to be a) English, and b) Elizabethan. The fact Japan is currently (and deliberately) pumping nuclear waste into the South China Sea has much to do with the manner in which this mini-series has been received. This happens at a time when Japan continues to antagonise China by refusing to acknowledge internationally recognised boundaries – whilst not apologising for WWII atrocities! A positive US decreed media consensus has declared this piece of parody (and Eurocentric mimicry) to be universally a ‘great success’.

Cathay Pacific Dismisses Crew Members Accused of Discriminating Against Non-English Speakers! (23.5.2023)

Most of the Flight Attendants I interacted with were young and older women from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia – and although NOT all were ethnic Chinese – all were ‘Asian’ and all had to be able to speak ‘English’ and ‘Cantonese’ (the dialect of the Chinese language spoke throughout Guangdong province, Hong Kong and various other areas of Asia outside of geographical China) – regardless of their own ethnic language. What the Cathay-Pacific Staff did NOT have to do was speak fluent ‘Putonghua’ (what the West refers to as ‘Mandarin’) the language spoken throughout Mainland China – as the business model at that time was toward the ‘West’ – and NOT toward ‘China’! Times have changed – and given that China is now an economic powerhouse – it is true that within the modern business climate just as many ethnic Chinese people from Mainland China (and elsewhere) use the Airline as Westerners – and that this change in business demographic toward the Chinese Mainland should be recognised by the British ‘Swire’ (family which still maintains a controlling shareholder stake in the business) – and reflected in the training of its Staff! The Cathay-Pacific Staff members who ‘discriminated’ against ‘Putonghua’ speakers on the flight concerned – hsve been ‘sacked’ – and I suspect this process was carried-out in a language they could ALL fully understand!
