Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, released the following press statement titled "G7 has no right to oppose the DPRK's sovereign option" on Nov. 13.

DPRK: “G7 Has No Right to Oppose the DPRK’s Sovereign Option”! (14.11.2025)

What is important to acknowledge is that there is a war of ideas and words in the world between a dominant White racism – and a continuous non-White resistance to that racism. I am sure Socrates would say it was illogical for those subject to tyranny and oppression – not to express dislike and rejection of that prejudice in word, deed, and thought. With the general lurch to the right (and far-right) we are currently witnessing throughout the Western world, young Europeans are being subjected to a wall of fascistic propaganda in virtually every walk of life, so that the false version of reality is presented. The tried and tested method is to install the warped prejudices of the older generation into the minds and bodies of the younger so that they can no longer distinguish fact from fantasy. The Old White Men’s club of the G7 seems to think that only White Europeans (refined as “White Americans”) should be entrusted to build and own nuclear weapons – when only Americans throughout history have been the only people on the planet to actually use such devices in warfare (twice) – incidentally, against a non-White (Asian) enemy (Japan). I suppose one of the greatest ironies is that via their access to US nuclear weapons – a rampant modern Japan now threatens North Korea in the name of Western (US) dominance on the Korean Peninsula.

China: Commemoration Day of Taiwan’s Restoration [October 25th] Ratified! (25.10.2025)

The decision was made in accordance with the Constitution, aiming to safeguard the outcomes of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war international order, to demonstrate the firm will to uphold the one-China principle and defend national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and to strengthen the shared national memory of compatriots on both sides, it said.

When explaining the draft decision to the NPC Standing Committee, Shen Chunyao, director of the NPC Standing Committee’s Legislative Affairs Commission, noted that on Oct. 25, 1945, the ceremony to accept Japan’s surrender in the Taiwan Province of the China war theatre of the Allied powers was held in Taipei. From that point on, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands returned to China’s sovereign jurisdiction.

Memorial Museum for Agricultural Emigrants to Manchuria,

Japan: Memorial Museum for Agricultural Emigrants to Manchuria Passes on War History to Young People! (19.9.2025)

As the war intensified, young and able-bodied Japanese men from the “pioneering groups” were continuously drafted into military service. By August 1945, the Japanese Kwantung Army, realizing that defeat was inevitable, chose to conceal the situation and secretly retreated, abandoning the remaining elderly, weak, sick, and women and children of the “pioneering groups” at the front lines of the war. Members of the “pioneering groups” fled in panic, and some chose to commit suicide, while many children were left behind in China, becoming orphans and being raised by kind-hearted Chinese people.

The Traitor Shi Ping! Do Not Associate With Him!

China: Counter-Measures Imposed Against Seki Hei! (8.9.2025)

This story is only for those diasporic Chinese eyes that are hostile to Socialist China. Despite supposedly possessing no formal education – Shi Ping suddenly graduated from a University the CPC sent him to – for free. In Japan, Shi Ping is known by the Japanese-name of “せきへい” (Sekihei). He sides historically with Imperial Japan – and spends his time writing articles that “deny” Japanese War Crimes. He even lectures on the same subject, but here’s the irony – whilst not being ethnically “Japanese” – Shi Ping receives continues anti-China racism for not being Japanese! This is the very anti-China racism that led to Japan’s wartime atrocities in the first-place!

China: Legacy of WWII Concentration Camp honours Friendship & Peace! (28.8.2025)

During the event, Stanley met Han Chongbin, an 80-year-old whose father once aided expatriates at the Weihsien concentration camp.

“At that time, out of pity for the internees, my father spent his own money to buy candy and brought eggs from home, managing to send them into the concentration camp. In return, the internees dismantled an iron bed and sent it out,” Han said. “He never expected that his help would be ‘rewarded.'”

In 2019, Han donated the iron bed to the museum. Now a museum volunteer, he shares stories about that period of history with visitors.

With the help of translators, he and Stanley shared a heartfelt conversation, holding hands like old friends. “Peace is our common aspiration,” Stanley said.

“Remembering suffering is not perpetuating hatred; it is igniting the beacon of hope for the future,” said Ayo Ayoola-Amale, vice chair of the governing council of International Cities of Peace.

“Weifang’s commitment to preserving this legacy — establishing the camp’s memorial museum, inviting descendants of survivors to return, and educating younger generations with truth — epitomizes the deepest practice of peace. Such courage deserves global recognition,” she said.

Western POWs Were Also Victims of Japanese Imperialism!

China: Lurch to Right Paints Japan as “Victim” of WWII! (17.8.2025)

Earlier this month, Hiroshima and Nagasaki held their annual atomic bombing commemorations. From Ishiba to local officials and citizens, speeches focused overwhelmingly on Japan’s suffering under nuclear attack, with little mention of Japan’s wartime aggression abroad. In Nagasaki, residents interviewed stressed the horrors of the bombings but rarely acknowledged Japan’s role as an aggressor.

The emphasis has shifted public perception. An NHK poll found only 35 percent of Japanese now see the war as one of aggression, compared with 52 percent in a 1994 survey.

In contrast, 67 percent of respondents said they “still cannot forgive” the atomic bombings, up 18 percentage points from a decade ago.
