China: Mother’s Mean Age at First-Birth to Keep Rising! (11.4.2023)

12/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The mean age of women at first marriage was 25.7 years old and that at first birth was 26.8 years old in 2017, both much higher than the legal age for marriage, said the NHC, citing data from the National Bureau of Statistics.

The NHC said financial burden, children’s care and women’s worries about employment have become the main factors restricting fertility.

The commission promised that it will improve supporting measures with relevant departments to create a good social environment for marriage and childbearing.

DPRK: Racial Discrimination – Chronic Disease of US! (29.3.2023)

30/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The discriminative acts against the nonwhite people occurring every day in the U.S. clearly demonstrate to the world that the U.S. society is the breeding ground of human rights obliteration and barren land of human rights.

Martin Luther King who was the leader of black people in the U.S. once said that they wish the racial discrimination will soon be terminated forever in the U.S. society and this country will awaken sometime and truly realize his admonition that it is a self-evident truth that all people are equal. Half a century has passed since then, but his desire still remains as a desire.

All the facts prove that racial discrimination is an inevitable consequence of anti-popular social system of the U.S. and in the U.S. – the “exemplary human rights state” short before explosion – genuine human rights can never be ensured.

China: Manor-Turned Museum Tells Changes of Life in Tibet! (29.3.2023)

29/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Tibet is the first provincial-level region in China to provide 15 years of publicly funded education, from kindergarten all the way up to senior high school. By contrast, there was not a single proper school, and the illiteracy rate among young people exceeded 95 percent in old Tibet.

The changes in Tibet are a vivid epitome of China’s reform and development. Chinese modernization is the only correct choice for building a strong country and advancing national rejuvenation, said Yan Jinhai, head of the regional government, in a speech marking the historical movement that ended serfdom in Tibet 64 years ago.

In the past 10 years, Yan said, Tibet has achieved high-quality development, maintained rapid economic growth, and heavily invested in education, medical care, culture, housing, employment, and social security. Tibet has shaken off absolute poverty and kept on pace with the whole country in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

“My wish now is to live longer and enjoy the life I currently have,” Norbu Tsering said. (Video reporters: Cao Bin, Tenzing Nima Qadhup, Sun Fei; video editors: Miao Zhuang, Mu Xuyao, Hong Yan)

China Issues Report on U.S. Human Rights Violations in 2022! (28.3.2023)

28/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Overseas military operations have caused humanitarian catastrophes. On Dec. 20, 2022, non-profit U.S. media outlet Common Dreams pointed out in an article titled “Warren, Jacobs Accuse Pentagon of Vastly Undercounting Civilians Killed by US Military” that according to data from the UK-based monitor group Airwars, U.S. airstrikes alone have killed as many as 48,000 civilians in nearly 100,000 bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen since 2001. According to data released by the Costs of War project at Brown University, since the 21st century, the U.S. government undertook what it labeled “counterterrorism” activities in 85 countries, directly killing at least 929,000 people and displacing 38 million people. And the U.S. military operations around the world have violated freedom and human rights of people in the United States and other countries. A woman and two children were killed in U.S. drone strikes in the Al-Hadba area of Al-Wadi, Yemen, on Nov. 30, 2022. “… the violence that characterizes the modern United States at home and in its conduct overseas — from the prevalence of gun — related deaths to the controversies over preemptive military action and drone strikes.”

US: Cover-Up Fears of 400,000 Gallons of Radioactive (Tritium) Water Leaked from US Nuclear Power Plant! (19.3.2023)

19/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Tritium is a naturally occurring radioactive form of hydrogen that is produced in the atmosphere. It is a byproduct of the production of electricity by nuclear power plants.

Xcel Energy said the leak came from a water pipe running between two buildings at its Monticello facility and was stopped.

The company also said it is monitoring the groundwater plume through two dozen wells while pumping contaminated groundwater through extraction wells.

“We are working to ensure this cleanup is concluded as thoroughly as possible with minimal or no risk to drinking water supplies,” said Kirk Koudelka, MPCA assistant commissioner for land and strategic initiatives.

Xcel Energy is said to be exploring building aboveground storage tanks or installing a retention pond to store water containing tritium that has been collected during ongoing recovery activities.

Scholars Uncover “Biggest Racial Gap” Among Violent Offenders in US Prisons! (15.3.2023)

15/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

If the American Civil War (1861-1865) resulted in the victory of the ‘non-racist’ North over the ‘racist’ South – then what went wrong? The US (White) Establishment teaches children in the US Education System that ALL racism throughout North America suddenly ENDED when the Confederacy ‘Signed’ an ‘Unconditional Surrender’ during early 1865! Children are encouraged to dress-up as Abraham Lincoln and perpetuate ‘myths’ that ALL non-White people where a) ‘treated well’ from 1492 onward, and b) were ‘treated even better’ after 1865! The problem with this ‘myth’ is that predatory capitalism exists all-over the US – and therefore generates the material (external) conditions that manifest ‘racist’ socio-economic pressures equally throughout the geographical space that the US inhabits! These ‘racist’ external pressures are ‘internalised’ within the mind and body of its victims and therefore influences the behaviour of these individuals. The further problem is that ‘Bourgeois’ academia may well prove this reality time and time again – but stops short of confirming that ‘racism’ is caused by ‘predatory capitalism’ – as clarified by the work of Marx and Engels – and other geniuses such as Huey Newton!
