Xinjiang: Pakistani Journalists – No “Forced Labour” – Only Advanced Technology! (25.6.2026)

“The most important thing is the lifestyle of the people and how it has changed in less than 20 years,” said Noor Ullah, Senior Manager of Jang Media Group. He noted that Kashgar’s development experience offers valuable lessons for developing countries, including Pakistan. He added that this is not only about tourism development, but also about improving residents’ lives.

The delegation also visited Makit County in Kashgar Prefecture, located on the southwestern edge of the Taklimakan, China’s largest and the world’s second-largest drifting desert.

In the autumn of 2012, a large-scale ecological afforestation project covering one million mu was launched in this county to curb wind erosion and stabilizing sand.

China: False “Foreign” Claims About Ethnic Unity Law Rejected! (25.6.2026)

On the road to poverty alleviation and building a moderately prosperous society, no ethnic group or individual has been left behind, and as Chinese-style modernization advances, no ethnic group or individual can be left behind either, said Ba­yanqolu, the chairman of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, adding, “Which other country or political party can achieve this?”

The law, which was passed on March 12 and will take effect on July 1, defines the protection of the legal rights of citizens seeking employment and entrepreneurship to further safeguard the equal development rights of people from all ethnic groups. There is absolutely no so-called “forced migration” or “forced labour” in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, as claimed by some Western organizations and media, said Chen Ruifeng, director of the National Ethnic Affairs Commission, at the news conference.

“All Xinjiang residents who seek employment outside the region do so of their own free will, based on personal desires to improve their family life and enhance their skills,” Chen said, adding that claims of “forced migration” or “forced labour” are “extremely absurd and ridiculous”.

UK: The Hidden Celtic Structures in Modern Families! (23.6.26)

Of course, conflicting with powers outside the family is a normal occupations for working-class Celts. Although we can seldom win these wars in real terms – we win in another way – as the inner structure of the family is protected and secured. We divert the enemy and turn their attention to a more or less irrelevant feature which they invariably fall for. We encourage the false idea that “they are more intelligent” and that “they have beaten us” – and we retreat in mock defeat. This is how we handle the authorities. Children watch their parents doing this from an early age – and on it goes. The modern equivalent of showing the Shire-Reef our naked bottoms when he comes to collect taxes. Letting the middle and upper-classes think we are thick is one of our greatest defences. Inwardly, we cannot be rattled regardless of what is done to use externally. We will not bend to any blow and we never show it hurts.

UK: An Email to my Deceased Father – Moses Waveman! (30.5.2026)

Even the far-right tried to have ago – pretending you said this or said that – apparently unaware that half of your family are “Chinese” (many of the current staff-members of Hadleigh Court – the care home that evicted you – are members of the far-right and punished you for not supporting their twisted ideas). This fact, once it became known, holed that far-right beneath the water-line and it never recovered. I knew what you think – but you never openly spoke about politics – and yet there are numerous utterances that somehow you mysteriously always managed to align with their (often nefarious) viewpoints. The far-left kept its distance from you – viewing you as a product of bourgeois excess – how wrong they were! My father was NOT religious – but you WERE spiritual. Quite a contradiction for the small-minded. Whatever the case, you fought against the capitalists on my behalf when I was a child, a youth, and an adult. I stood with you when I grew-up and was able. I know continue this fight.

Surrey: Gee & Kai-Lin Field Strip & Assemble a Wooden Stool! (29.5.2026)

Anyway, we visited the “Rural Life Living Museum” (ob May 28th, 2026) – not far from the log-cabin area we were staying at in Tilford (a bourgeois cesspit of wealth). We have visited similar places not far from Sutton, and also in Oxford, Devon, and Cornwall. Many Moons ago, I visited places like this in the Lake District and in Scotland. They are essentially centres of education for school-children – and for adults to reminisce. My childhood (pre-Star Wars) was a very different reality to that which exists today. The working-class pre-1977 were very localised in mentality – with the middle-class attending university and developing a world-wide appreciation. This difference in education always benefits the middle-class who understand more and are able to use this knowledge to keep the workers in their place. Stll, it was a good day out and I will have to author a number of posts to cover it all.
