UK: Tories Suffer Massive Losses in Local Council Elections – But Does it Matter? (6.5.2023)

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that his party’s losses were disappointing, but he did not believe there had been a massive movement towards the Labour Party.

Labour leader Keir Starmer said his party was on course to win a majority at the next general election.

Professor John Curtice, a polling expert, said that based on the current results Labour should be the leader in next year’s parliamentary election. However, it is uncertain whether they will win an outright majority, he said.

Under Britain’s electoral rules, a general election must be called before the end of 2024.

Professor John Bryson, a political expert from the University of Birmingham, told Xinhua that local elections should not necessarily be seen as indicative of voter behavior in a future general election.

No political party in the country currently has a viable strategy to underpin sustainable growth and address the structural fiscal deficit that Britain has been experiencing for “far too long”, Bryson said.

Japan Needs Correct Understanding of China: Chinese Ambassador! (30.4.2023)

Regarding the discharge plan of Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea, Wu said that the disposal of nuclear-contaminated water has a direct bearing on the global marine environment and human health and safety, and no one can make a conclusion as to how long the impact will last and how much harm it will bring.

China’s position on the issue is clear, that is, it firmly opposes Japan’s discharge plan of nuclear-contaminated water, he said, noting that the Japanese side should take the strong opposition at home and abroad seriously, honestly fulfill its international obligations and deal with the nuclear-contaminated water in the safest and most prudent way.

When asked about the Group of Seven (G7)’s recent accusations against China, Wu said the G7 has become a political tool of some countries to wantonly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and suppress the development and progress of other countries.

The G7 does not represent the international community and their consensus is not a global consensus, the ambassador stressed.

German Authorities ‘Allow’ Neo-Nazi Ukrainians to Attend Buchenwald Concentration Camp Memorial! (11.4.2023) 

The actions in memory of multinational Concentration Camp prisoners are NOT “racist” and cannot be made to appear so! Anything can be called “anti-democratic” today – often distorting the very essence of the definition of “democracy”! And yet this is what we have been told, “We have carefully studied your web pages and social media channels and have come to the conclusion that statements that contradict the goals of our Foundation regularly appear there,” the Buchenwald Administration stated as a reason for the refusal. Of course, this is just a “front” – with the real reason being that the “German-Russian Brotherly Souls” has resolutely maintained its good relations with Russia and has not bowed to international pressure to pursue an opposite path! It would seem that it is this “Solidarity” between Germans and Russians in the face of US pressure which is frightening the Authorities at Buchenwald!

The Progressive Nature of the Trans Movement! (11.4.2023) 

The intellectual and personality offensives are just two components successfully deployed by these ‘New’ Red Army Shock Troops! On other Fronts these soldiers for humanity are paying the ultimate price with their minds and bodies as the forces of reaction take their sanity, their health and their very lives! Many so-called Communist Parties throughout the world should be ashamed of themselves for failing to acknowledge the vitally important spiritual, physical and cultural force that the Trans Movement represents! Whilst a capitalist Russia fights Neo-Nazism in the Ukraine – its leaders and Church perpetuates the most hideous homophobia and transphobic attitudes – certainly matching those of the Hitlerites occupying the opposite trenches! And then on occasion I see our Palestinian (Islamic) Comrades routinely expressing homophobic attitudes! These are the contradictions we all have to exist within! I would still stand with Russia and Palestine – but my family also stands firmly with ALL members of the Trans Movement and the 2SLBGTQN+ Community because ‘I’ – ‘We’ believe in ‘their’ – ‘our’ collective destiny!

China: U.S. Politicians’ “Frustration” Over Saudi-Iran Deal Exposes Hegemonic Mindset! (11.4.2023)

The Saudi-Iran deal could serve as a reminder for Washington to reconsider its confrontational foreign policy and its zero-sum game approach to international affairs.

U.S. politicians has been obsessed with doing everything it can to help maintain its hegemony, regardless of the consequences of their decisions and actions.

For too long, they have taken it for granted that intimidations, sanctions and other economic penalties are a show of strength. But quite contrary to what they had wished for, keeping doing so would eventually alienate U.S. allies and erode U.S. power in a fast-changing world where most people yearn for pragmatic cooperation instead of confrontations.
