Taiwan - Part of China!

China: US Statement Encouraging “Taiwan’s Presence” at World Health Assembly Rejected! (3.5.2024)

“We once again urge the U.S. to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. Joint Communiqués, observe international law and the basic norms governing international relations, act on the U.S. leader’s commitment of not supporting ‘Taiwan independence,” two Chinas’ or ‘one China, one Taiwan,’ stop using the WHA to create confusion on Taiwan-related issues, and avoid sending wrong signals to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces,” said the spokesperson.

“The one-China principle has the extensive support of the international community. It is where global opinion trends and where the arc of history bends. There’s no denying or stopping of that trend. Any attempt to play the ‘Taiwan card’ and use Taiwan to contain China will meet the firm opposition of the international community and is doomed to failure,” the spokesperson added.

Qing Dynasty: When the Last Chinese Imperial Ship Visited the West! (11.3.2024)

Afterwards, the U.S. Navy repeatedly invited the Qing Dynasty Fleet to visit the United States as a show of friendship. Therefore, on April 11th, 1911, Cheng Biguang (程璧光), the Commander of the “Hai Qi Hao” was ordered to weigh anchor in Shanghai on April 21st – and set sail to the United Kingdom, (thousands of miles away), to attend the Coronation of King George V – and then cross the Atlantic to visit New York, USA. The Baiyang Navy – at the end of the Qing Dynasty – was extremely modernized. The uniforms, Ceremonial Guards, and drill methods of the soldiers were all adopted from the West (specifically the UK). The Officers and soldiers of the “Hai Qi Hao” also cut off their Manchu braided poney-tails – officially integrating with the (modern) Western Navy.

Daoism and Okinawan Karate-Do! (1.11.2023)

Although these styles were diverse in expression – the underlying and underpinning Daoist worldview remained essentially the same. Although distinct from modern medical knowledge – Daoist thinking represents the height of human endeavour from a far earlier age. Indeed, even today elements of Daoist thinking and methodology appear to overlap with that of modern medicine – and contribute extensively toward the functioning of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The attacker, however, travelled by bus the 179 miles between Sanming in West Fujian – to reach Xiamen in South Fujian (with Xiamen being 57 miles Southwest of Quanzhou). Fuzhou, the coastal areas and the a number of in-land places are famous for Southern Shaolin Temples and gongfu styles which eventually formed the ‘Kata’ of Okinawan Karate-Do.

Fujian: May 23rd Incident!

Fujian: The May 23rd “Chopping” Incident Explained! (22.8.2023)

I have added a post regarding an extraordinary event that happened recently in China (click on the above link)! This all evolves around ‘Influencers’ and the pettiness of the Internet! Bear in mind that until 1911 – the Chinese people psychologically and physically inhabited a feudal system which maintained a rigid law and order through the management of an often brutal Justice System that seldom forgave and always meted-out the severest of punishments! Chinese culture is deeply rooted in martial practice and self-control – but here we see a complete loss of the latter and inappropriate application of the former!
