PRC Embassy Protests Demolition of “Panama-China Friendship Park”!

This monument declaring “China-Panama Friendship” is situated on a mountain over-looking the Panama Canal (in fact, from what I have read regarding travelogues, this mountain it is quite remote and difficult to access) – and Trump believes this symbolises a Chinese declaration of “control” of the Canal. The Park was built in 2004 by funds raised by various overseas Chinese organisations – with support from the Mainland Chinese government (which provided two stone lions). Chinese people first arrived in Panama in 1854 (during the Qing Dynasty – probably fleeing the highly destructive Taiping Uprising and the Hakka-Punti Clan Wars). Indeed, this park is officially termed the “150th Anniversary Monument to the Arrival of Chinese in Panama” (1854-2004). Ironically, Panama declared (also in 2004) that “March 30th” would be “Chinese People Day” (华人日 – Hua Ren Ri). The way things are going, I suspect “Chinese People Day” will soon be abolished. I have been agitating for years that China should stop using US English in its translations – the language of the enemy.

Palestine Land Day - 2025

On Land Day – Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: No Attempt to Displace Our People from Their Land Will Succeed! (30.3.2025)

On March 30, we proudly and reverently remember the immortal Land Day epic, when our people in the Negev, the Triangle, the Galilee, and all other areas of Palestine occupied in 1948 rose up on the land of their fathers and grandfathers, and confronted with their bare chests the Zionist machine of oppression, in defense of their land, dignity, and existence. With their blood, they drew the contours of the Palestinian identity, and affirmed that the land will remain Palestinian, and that the right will remain steadfast, no matter how great the challenges, and no matter how brutal and criminal this occupation is, and no matter how horrific the war of extermination waged throughout modern history.

Palestine: Land Day – “A Permanent Intellectual and Cultural Broadcasting Focal-Point!” – Walid Abdel Rahim (3.4.2023)

This is how the day appeared on the surface – but in its depth – it was a day of expression of the oppressed masses hidden in the collective hearts of the Palestinians living within Lebanon, Syria and Jordan! At that time, the massacres by the agents of the Zionist Neo-Nazism had begun to implement their pograms of genocide and extermination supported by certain Arabs and by international forces – the extermination of the Palestinian Revolution after the massacres of September – using Lebanon as its arena! The miracle of Palestinian integration and the eternal genius of its people, which all the demons of the Land could not obstruct! It is not right for this to be just a festival – but is rather a time of permanent and eternal intellectual cultural focus and transmission! The Land here does not represent a day of just farms and orchards. Although it is not separate, and it cannot be separated, the Land is the natural, automatic abode of identity.
