Today, we have travelled into London’s Chinatown to eat at the New Loon Fung Restaurant! This is a special occasion through which all the family celebrates life, love and togetherness! Although it is Thursday – and not the weekend – the restuarant was full to capacity on both its floors!
“If we can further testify ancient Pingyang existed through material proof, then the Chinese history of Yao and Shun would be changed from a legend to a real historical time,” archaeologist Xue Ruiming told the Global Times.
Xue added that the tomb ruins show the site’s “historical continuity.” He also said that ancient sites around Linfen are not only known to have “rich pottery relics,” but also hold great archaeological significance. The Taosi site is another site in the city that has more than 4,000 years of history.
Dating back 4,300 to 3,900 years ago, the Taosi site is a major archaeological spot that has been included in China’s national program dedicated to tracing the origin of Chinese civilization. Several notable relics, including a pottery plate decorated with dragon patterns was found at the site’s high-level tombs that once belong to local royalty.

Well, perhaps Russell Brand can help us to understand this grave injustice through the agencies of alienation, the accumulation of unbridled (and ‘non-talented’) wealth and the limitless indulgence of media-supported sexual decadence! Alternatively, his father – ‘Dan’ – can help by taking this opportunity to remind us that the UK is over-run by migrants (?) and that beautiful Mother Russia (my words – not his) is currently killing tens of thousands of Ukrainians (his word – not mine) ‘Neo-Nazis’ (finally – just my words)! With such campaign advice emanating from Tavistock Wood – Russell Brand’s former Talent Agency – what could possibly go wrong?
WHO IS HIDING WAR CRIMES?
Ignoring the overwhelming evidence, the Iida City Board of Education still holds its ban on exhibiting Unit 731 panels at the peace memorial museum.
Yoshizawa told Xinhua that the board had presented a 2003 “National Diet response record” and referred to it as the so-called “national standpoint, ” which stated that “although the Japanese government acknowledges the existence of Unit 731, it does not acknowledge the fact that the unit engaged in bacteriological warfare.”
This so-called “national standpoint” has been refuted by Japanese experts, including Fumio Hara, former president of the Research Society for 15 years War and Japanese Medical Science and Service.
Well-versed in the Unit 731 crimes, Hara wrote a letter to the board, criticizing their so-called “national standpoint” as fundamentally untenable.
“In a judgment in August 2002, the Tokyo District Court recognized that Unit 731 had used bacteriological weapons on the Chinese battlefield. While the judgment rejected the plaintiff’s demands for an apology and compensation, it unequivocally recognized the fact that the Japanese military had engaged in bacteriological warfare. This is an official judgment of the Japanese government,” said Hara.
“This is concealing and hiding history, depriving citizens of the opportunity to understand historical truths!” said Nobuharu Goi, a representative of Japan’s civic group 731 Alliance, condemning in a letter sent to the board its decision to ban the exhibition of Unit 731 crimes.
In another letter sent to the board, another citizens group questioned: “The testimonies and evidence of Unit 731 witnesses are extremely valuable. Isn’t it our generation’s responsibility to display the testimony of the perpetrators and prevent the horrors of war from happening again?”
After several dialogues with the board failed, the Iida City Peace Material Collection Committee in January 2023 established a committee for reflecting on the Iida City Peace Memorial Museum.
During its inaugural meeting, Kubota took the stage, wearing a hearing aid, and stated, “The memorial museum must display panels related to Unit 731. We must fight for this! The core issue here is how we address the war, both as perpetrators and victims.”
“The current Japanese government no longer allows any mention of war atrocities,” lamented 93-year-old Hideo, who reiterated his personal experiences within Unit 731 at the gathering.
Under huge pressure, the Iida City Board of Education in February 2023 organized a meeting to discuss the Unit 731 panels. However, the conclusion was that “the content on the exhibition panels is too cruel and goes beyond the scope of Japanese school textbooks.”
When asked to comment on the issue, Hara noted that Japan’s school curriculum scarcely addresses the negative aspects of its wartime aggression, making it exceedingly difficult to present the historical truth of Japan’s wartime atrocities in society and educational institutions.
Incidents similar to the suppression of historical truths through exhibition panels are not confined to Iida City, he said, noting that the practice of concealing Japan’s wartime crimes has gradually spread throughout the country.
The expert, citing the “Peace Osaka” event for example, told Xinhua that due to pressure from right-wing forces, its panels related to crimes like the Nanjing Massacre and Unit 731 were removed. Similarly, the Statue of a Girl of Peace symbolizing “comfort women” victims was removed from an international art exhibition in Aichi Prefecture in 2019.
The great achievements of Xinjiang in economic development, social progress, and improvement to people’s lives are widely recognized around the world. This can never be distorted by a small group of separatists elements colluding with anti-China forces in the US and the West for the purpose of misleading the public. Over the past 60 years and more since the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region was established, the region’s economy has grown 160 times. Its Uygur population has expanded from 2.2 million to about 12 million, and the average life expectancy there has increased from 30 to 74.7 years. In recent years, more than 2,000 government officials, religious personnel and journalists from over 100 countries and international organizations have visited Xinjiang. They have spoken highly of the inclusive development of diverse cultures and the stable and peaceful life enjoyed by people in Xinjiang, and expressed understanding and support for the region’s counterterrorism and de-radicalization efforts.
Much of the British Welfare State of 1948 was premised upon the Soviet model. After the Nazi Germans (and its Catholic Allies) devastated the Western USSR (between 1941-1945) – it was this system of taxation and wealth re-distribution which re-built the Soviet Union and helped replace the 41 million men, women and children maimed and killed by the Hitlerites! Today, the far-right advocates the leaving of cities and the rejection of modern living as a form of ‘protest’ against contemporary trends of living (rejecting the benefits of ‘science’, ‘medicine’ and ‘multiculturalism’ – all falsely interpreted as ‘Jewish’ conspiracies). This is the exact ‘opposite’ of the progressive ideology of ‘Scientific Socialism’ – with this stupidity costing the life of a young Russian child.
