Hate Crime Reports in U.S. Chicago Surge! (25.10.2022)
“The fear runs deep through some of Chicago’s most prominent communities: Black, Asian, LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender), and Jewish,” said ABC7 in its report of the data from the city’s Commission on Human Relations.
During the pandemic, Asian Americans faced increased incidents of bias-related attacks, noted the report, adding that eight of the 125 total hate crimes being investigated by Chicago police this year were against Asians, a number city leaders fear is far under-reported.
“The number of hate crimes reported in Chicago increased by 44 percent compared to this time in 2021,” said the report.
The state of Illinois has reactivated a group similar to the Human Rights Commission in Chicago, that is looking at ways to increase reporting of potential hate crimes, and strengthen legislation against offenders, it added.
Titanic: The Forgotten Eight Chinese Passengers! (14.12.2020)
To this end, Donald Steamship Company bought these Chinese people a third-class group ticket – numbered 1601 – price £56, 9 shillings and 11 pence. The ‘Chinese’ names registered on this collective ticket are written in phonetic English and read:
1) Fang Lang
2) Choong Foo
3) Ali Lam
4) Ling Hee
5) Chang Chip
6) Lee Bing
7) Lee Ling
8) Len Lam
Amongst them the youngest was 24 years old whilst the oldest was 37 years old. As dispatch workers (who were sent anywhere at anytime with no Union support or protection) – these Chinese men were made to work more than 12 hours a day in terrible conditions – whilst receiving only one-fifth the pay of that earned by White (Umionised) workers doing exactly the same job!
Titanic: ‘Cut’ Scene Depicting Rescue of Chinese Man – Played By Van Ling! (24.10.2022)
I remember once being shown two versions of the ‘British’ casualty lists for the Falklands War (1982) – one which had only Western-sounding (or ‘Gurkha’)
US Media Reveals ‘Corrupt Nature’ of US Political System! (22.10.2022)
Bourgeois democracy only cares for the ‘Bourgeoisie’ and does not care for the working-class or the people in general! It is the class that invented the ruthless and vicious capitalist system – and which has a record of encouraging and supporting the political rightwing and far-right in opposition to the rights and welfare of the working-class! The West’s support for corrupt financial dealing and Neo-Nazi Ukraine are relevant contemporary points which support this damning assessment! The working-class is asked and encouraged to assist in the process of voting for the latest version of this bourgeois monstrosity every four or five years – only to find its Human Rights trampled, its voice silemced and its needs sidelined for the duration of the latest government! On top of all this capitalist greed and corruption is the inability to control and contain the spread of Covid-19 – simply on the grounds that such required and necessary medical controls, although vital and crucial for public safety, only get in the way of capitalist profit-mongering and insider dealing!
(W. E. Talk) Global Significance of China’s Human Rights Progress! (17.10.2022)
The three perspectives above show that the West has neglected the global significance of the remarkable development of China’s human rights, unceasingly criticized the specific detail and China’s human rights cases, and even magnify them to discredit China’s national image. These moves have gone against basic facts, reflected the West’s narrowness in theory and perspective, and reflect the West’s arrogance and even wickedness in diplomacy.
Certainly, the elaboration of the global significance of China’s human rights for human civilization progress, global human rights theory and practice, and developing countries does not mean that there’s no omission or inadequacy in China’s human rights. In fact, as the largest developing country, China is and will still be in the primary stage of Socialism over a long period of time, with great development potential for national income, environmental protection, social equity, legal development, cultural services, political rights, and other aspects.
