Chris Chan [☨陳]* – Following the Light of the Candle! (3.9.2023)

A few years ago – I was contacted by a friend in China who asked me who this Western person was who has a Chinese surname (‘陳’ or ‘Chan’ the same name as that used in my family). I was intrigued, as the person in question seemingly pronounced the Chinese language ideogram ‘陳’ in exactly the same way as the Chinese branch of my family does, denoting a Hong Kong, New Territories or Guangdong (Cantonese) origination. Indeed, within North China – the ideogram ‘陳’ is usually referred to as ‘Chen’ (particularly in the Putonghua ‘Official’ language usage) – although in the Hokkien dialect of Southern Chinese Fujian province it becomes ‘Tan’ (in Vietnam it is ‘Van’), etc. Historically, and in one way or another we are all related – although the Sai Kung (New Territories) ‘Chan’ people are of ‘Hakka’ – or of Middle to North China origination! Although the Hakka people are part of the Han majority that comprise the Chinese people – there are persistent rumours that in the distant past some DNA influences within the Hakka genetic identity originate outside of North China and could well have involved typically non-Chinese traits (such as those found in Europe and Africa, etc).

Fetch the Fire Brigade: Chinese People Being ‘Human’ Again! (22.7.2023)

A problem has sometimes been caused by these barricades when people have been trapped in their flats by out of control fires and have been unable to get to the front door!

As can be seen here, the local people took matters into their own hands and decided to act! This action prevented this young child from be trapped between the barricades and the fire and being burned to death!

Contextualising ‘On the Jewish Question’ By Karl Marx! (2.7.2023) 

Questioning the mythology of religion is an important and vital aspect of ‘freedom of thought’ and does not constitute an ‘attack’ upon religiosity. Questioning the legitimacy of religious belief is an important component of a liberal society as it prevents religious groupings from ‘justifying’ criminal acts based solely upon the idea that an ‘immunity’ from prosecution is in effect premised upon the mere holding of a ‘religious’ belief! A ‘religious’ and ‘irreligious’ individual, (living within a Bourgeois State), should be held liable for their actions in front of exactly the same Secular Law. To this end, this is a text rich in insight written by a young Karl Marx just out of University and on the brink of marrying Jenny Westphalia. Perhaps there is something of the love and light euphoria of those times – which emanates from the pen of Marx!

Fukushima: Discharge of Tritium Harms Human Body – South Korean Scientists Confirm! (28.4.2023)

“Those discharges could begin as early as July, possibly later, and continue for many decades, not just the 30 years but maybe 50, 60, 70, 80 years. Next century is really possible,” said Burnie.

“This is water that’s radioactive in tanks, so it’s the deliberate decision to pollute and contaminate the environment, which doesn’t need to take place because actually there is sufficient storage space in the two districts next to the Fukushima nuclear power plant,” he noted.

Burnie was also skeptical of Japan’s claim that the contaminated water could be diluted through an advanced liquid processing system (ALPS).

“This is water that has come in direct contact with a reactor, a nuclear fuel that suffered a severe melt, which means fission products within the nuclear fuel became in direct contact with water,” the specialist said.

“It’s unclear how successfully the ALPS system processes the water. Around 70 percent of the water in the tanks still needs to undergo further processing. So, we still don’t know how effective it’s going to be. It can’t be discharged as it is at the moment,” he added.

China: US Primary Cause of Global Refugee Crisis – Reports Confirm! (31.3.2023)

The spokesperson pointed out that the U.S. is known to be a nation of immigrants, adding that none of the country’s political, economic, social, cultural and technological advances would have been possible without the enormous contribution of immigrants.

“However, throughout the country’s history, many immigrant communities were treated cruelly by the U.S. government. Recent years have even witnessed humanitarian disasters on refugees and immigrants in the US，”Mao said.

“The U.S. needs to seriously reflect on its terrible record on the issue of refugees and immigrants and correct its course, and make real efforts to improve the situations of refugees and immigrants，” she added.

Mao said the U.S. should stop all hegemonic and bullying practices and avoid creating new refugee crises in the world.

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

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.
