In a social media post, Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki attributed Hong Kong’s ability to overcome difficulties during the interval to the enduring vitality of “one country, two systems”, as well as the central government’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability.

Political parties, including the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong — the city’s biggest political party — reaffirmed their support for deeper integration into national development and seizing new opportunities under “one country, two systems”.

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – Mobile Gallows – and How a Judicial Hanging Works! (29.10.2025)

Generally speaking, the Hangman will leave the body hanging for one-hour before the back of the neck is “measured” to prove the bones are separated. Immediately after the Execution is complete – all involved head to the Prison Canteen where they eat a special slap-up breakfast – a celebration that the Will of the State has been successfully carried-out. The Hangman then must return and take-down the body – which is stripped naked and washed before being re-dressed in burial clothing. The deceased body is then placed in a cheap wooden coffin and buried somewhere in the prison grounds in an unmarked grave – whilst the Chaplain carries-out all the relevant duties and procedures. The “Prison Number” of the inmate is inscribed on a secret map recording the location of the grave – kept only in the Governor’s Office. In the UK Judical System – the body of a convicted and executed felon belongs permanently to the State – and can never be given back to his or her family.

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.

A large cache of pottery and bone ware and coins unearthed from the tombs are also on display in the museum.

“The museum makes full use of the original appearance of the tombs, as well as digital exhibition, VR technology and touch screens to offer the audience an immersive experience of the ancient Qiuci,” said Feng Wei, deputy curator of the museum.

According to the Xinjiang regional institute of cultural relics and archaeology, four excavation rounds were carried out from 2007 to 2023 at the site in Kuqa, which led to the discovery of more than 2,000 relic sites. In addition to the tombs, there are wells, cooking stoves and other relics dating from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) up to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911).

China: British Museum – “No Idea” How Much Loot It Possesses – Or Where It Might Be! (28.8.2023)

28/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies collected in the British Museum is the closest copy of the prestigious Chinese painting by Gu Kaizhi. It is one of the most famous collections of the museum. It was plundered from the court of the Qing Dynasty during the Siege of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900.

There are very few tri-colored Luohan statues of the Liao Dynasty in the world and those collected in the British Museum were stolen overseas from the Yixian County, Hebei Province.

The British Museum has refused to return the cultural relics over the years mainly on the grounds and basis of the British Museum Act, which was amended by the British Parliament in 1963 and basically prohibits the museum from returning any of its collections.

The British leading human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC said “The trustees of the British Museum have become the world’s largest receivers of stolen property, and the great majority of their loot is not even on public display.”

Chongqing: China Remembers 140th Anniversary of General Stilwell’s Birth! (10.8.2023)

10/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

As a consequence, the presence of Stilwell reminds the world of a more enlightened time in US foreign policy. The ‘Stilwell Museum’ is situated in ‘Chongqing’ – whilst ‘Stilwell Town’ is to be found at the Qinglong section of the Yunnan-Guizhou Highway. Chongqing was formerly part of South-East Sichuan province until 1997 (when it became an ‘Independent Municipality’) – whilst Qinglong county is located in the South-West of Guizhou province. Therefore, the ‘Stilwell Museum’ and ‘Stilwell Town’ are situated around 422 miles apart and should not be confused. Remember, so stubborn and difficult to defeat was the Kwantung Army of Imperial Japan – that the US requested that the Soviet Red Army should intercede and enter North-East China during late 1945 – which it did to great military success! By 1950, the US was rewarding this Soviet sacrifice by broadcasting propaganda lies stating the Red Army had committed endless ‘atrocities’! The Chinese people, of course, have the utmost respect for the USSR and its defeat of Imperial Japan – as once again it was the Soviets that saved the world from fascism!
