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.

China Manned Space Agency (CMSA): Names Sought for Manned Lunar Exploration Vehicles! (1.9.2023)

According to an earlier report, China plans to land its taikonauts on the moon before 2030 to carry out scientific exploration. The plan is to launch two carrier rockets to send a lunar lander and a manned spacecraft, respectively, to a lunar orbit. The craft and lunar lander will rendezvous and dock with each other, and then taikonauts will enter the lander.

The names solicitation process is open to the public and will run until September 30. It is aimed at those who are enthusiastic about China’s manned space program, said the CMSA.

Also on Thursday, the CMSA began to solicit logos for four missions of China’s manned space program in 2024, including the launches of the cargo crafts Tianzhou-7 and Tianzhou-8, and the crewed spaceships Shenzhou-18 and Shenzhou-19.

US: Biden Anti-China Racism – A Dangerous Warmongering! (30.8.2023)

All this intrusion into ‘rights of consciousness’ could be carried-out in a friendly and comfortable environment – whilst an English-language US documentary plays in the background which explains the American persecution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg – and the eventual execution of these two US citizens in 1953 – for being ‘Communists’. To soften-up these non-Chinese individuals – whilst sat waiting for their ‘interview’ – the blatantly ‘racist’ (1956) interview of Paul Robeson by the US government could be played as a form of ‘mood music’. Personally, I would also show silent film footage of US Army soldiers surrendering ‘en masse’ to Chinese Volunteer Army soldiers during the US War of Aggression in Korea (1950-1953) – projected on a nearby wall – playing in a loop. All light-hearted interrogation techniques delivered in a non-threatening manner – with NO sinister undertones or racist implications.

Email: Torquay Museum – Japanese Battle Kite! (29.8.2023)

At the above link I have added a blog post to our family martial arts website regarding this medieval Japanese battlefield ‘kite’! It resides in the Torquay Museum in South Devon and even when we visited – there was not the usual plaque giving the provenance of this piece – other than a description of what it is. I have written to the Museum to see if I can clear-up the mystery as to the origins of this artefact. As maters stand, this is a bamboo and material device that acts as a ‘kite’ able to lift a grown man of the era into the air whilst carrying a bow and supply of arrows! He is barefoot and stands on a single bamboo pole whilst his body is held in place by two crossed baboo poles in the centre of the device!

Afghans Mourn for Respected Doctor & Civilians Killed in 2019 US Bombing! (29.8.2023)

“No one has even asked about our condition, and no humanitarian organization helped and assisted us,” said Khan. “The United States has oppressed the whole land of Afghanistan with its plans and programs.”

In 2017 the U.S. military relaxed its rules of engagement for airstrikes in Afghanistan, which resulted in a dramatic increase in civilian casualties, according to a report named Costs of War conducted by the Brown University.

From the last year of the Obama administration (2016) to the last full year of recorded data during the Trump administration (2020), the number of civilians killed by U.S.-led airstrikes in Afghanistan increased by 330 percent, the report noted.

“They (The U.S. forces) killed a two-and-half-year-old girl, a two-year-old girl and another one-and-half-year-old girl. What was the crime of those innocent children?” Khan said.

China Urges US – Stop “Racially Profiling” Chinese Students for False National Security Reasons! (29.8.2023)

“This seriously harms the lawful rights and interests of the Chinese students and undermines normal people-to-people exchanges and educational cooperation between the two countries,” Wang said.

“We urge the United States to genuinely welcome Chinese students as it has said, withdraw the biased and discriminatory Proclamation 10043, and stop going after Chinese students in the United States in the name of national security,” Wang said.

China will continue to take necessary measures to defend Chinese citizens’ lawful rights and interests and remind its students heading for the United States to be mindful of such risks, the spokesperson added.
