China: Boost to Psychological Protection of Children in Difficulty! (24.9.2026)

Beyond strengthening existing programmes, new services, including care programmes for children with autism and assessments of family guardianship arrangements, will be established with stepped-up efforts, Hu said.

He also highlighted the primary-level role in child protection. China currently has about 42,000 “child supervisors” at the township and subdistrict levels and 550,000 “child directors” and workers at the village and community levels.

Hu described them as “strong guardians” of children in difficult circumstances and said their training would be expanded to include mental health screening, safety risk assessments, mandatory reporting and home visits as required components, strengthening their ability to identify and respond to risks facing children.

Mark Hehir, 62, was driving the 206 bus between Wembley and Maida Vale in north-west London in June 2024 when the incident unfolded.

UK: The Mark Hehir Story – How the BBC Manipulates the News Toward Right-Wing Popularism – By Suppressing Narrative-Altering Details! (3.2.3026)

Onething that we can gleam from the operation of Judeo-Christian societies is that “lying” to the masses has its rules (just look at Israel to prove this). Below is three examples of exactly the same story involving a “have a go” bus-driver in London who knocked-out a thief during one of his shifts. This story is legally and regulatory complex – and he was suspended – and then sacked following his loss at two tribunals. As the story gained traction in the mainstream and right-wing press, this “White” bus-driver became something of a celebrity to the far-right (although he is careful not to virtue-signal any personal connection with it himself). Furthermore, as the mainstream media communicates in “code” (whilst attempting not to racially inflame issues) – there is no mention of the ethnicity of the thief – which usually implies he may not be White (hitting a non-White suspect might have influenced the decision to sack the driver). The BBC narrative presented first is the latest version containing much less details (presenting the driver as a misundestood hero) – whilst the second BBC narrative is around five-days old and contains far-more details (explaning that although the self-defence aspect was lawful [just] and legal [within a very narrow context] – the many other contributory aspects definitely were not). This process of “removing” details inverts the usual trajectory of gaining ever-more details and correctly reporting a story in greater detail. The third narrative is from a different news outlet and contains the “full” story from an impartial (non-BBC) news source.

The Personal Information Protection Law took effect on Nov 1, 2021

China: Crackdown Intensifies on Misuse of Personal Data! (25.1.2026)

I have been informed the ban is not “blanket” – but rather involves 16 social media sites that are designed for use by adults only. As under-16s should not be on these sites – would a ban matter? The point is that (far-right) White nationalists use adult social media sites to entrap and groom young people – and initiate these unsuspecting minors into Neo-Nazi and neo-fascist propaganda. By banning minors from these adult sites would remove a possible source of recruitment for the far-right. Just as long as our youth is able to still use the net in an appropriate manner – than curbs might not be a bad thing. Even in Socialist China the threat from online criminality – sometimes from outside of China – has been dealt a blow. Twenty-five to thirty years ago – the internet was a free space for sharing – today it has been fully colonised by the capitalists and this has brought an entirely new raft of problems (anarchism was the only problem in 2000 – but that was generally free). Last Thursday – around 200 teenage school-children in Sutton had some kind of tiktok event in Sutton town centre – which initiated a police response and some violence.

Trump Attacks Rubber-Duck Enthusiasts!

US: Bizarre Trump Crackdown on Visa-Holders “Operating Large Tractor-Trailer Trucks”! (23.8.2025)

Analysts say the administration’s immigration crackdown is widening from undocumented migrants and students to nearly all legal visa holders. This could leave many at risk of losing their status.

New Pew Research Centre data shows the U.S. immigrant population fell by almost 1.5 million in the first half of this year, the first net decline in decades. The total dropped to 51.9 million in June from 53.3 million in January. Researchers attribute the decline largely to stricter policies, which have led to both deportations and voluntary departures.

The White House argues that fewer immigrants ease pressure on public services and help the labour market recover. But experts warn that the long-term effects may be damaging, with labour shortages in key industries such as agriculture, healthcare and services. With the retirement of the baby boomer generation, they note, U.S. reliance on immigrant labour could actually deepen.

“United Against Human Trafficking: Safe and Legal Migration Protects Us All.”

Laos: Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare Marks “International Day Against Human Trafficking”! (11.8.2025)

This year’s observance aimed to raise public awareness and intensify efforts to prevent human trafficking, emphasizing the role of safe and legal migration in protecting vulnerable populations.

Human trafficking continues to evolve, with traffickers adopting new and increasingly deceptive methods to exploit victims particularly women and children. Current data shows that one in three victims worldwide is a child, with girls being disproportionately affected. Fraud, manipulation, and coercion remain common tools used by traffickers to lure victims into exploitation.

In response, public education remains a cornerstone of prevention. Awareness campaigns help communities especially women, children, and at risk groups recognize and avoid trafficking schemes. These initiatives are essential in building informed and resilient communities that can resist exploitation.

DPRK Builds Free Council Flats!

DPRK: Socialist State Issues “Free” Council Flats to Citizens! (5.5.2025)

The owners of the new houses were deeply moved to receive the licenses for using houses and the builders extended warm congratulations, sharing the joy. Such happy images can be only witnessed in the fairyland of the great socialist family being brought into full bloom day by day in the era of the Workers’ Party.

The vast Hwasong area reverberated with the cheers and excited voices of the people enjoying at their windows the beautiful scene of Pyongyang where a new era of prosperity and cultural efflorescence is being ushered in.

“The new and wonderful street in the Hwasong area is a pride of our Pyongyang.”

“I admired the dwelling houses in Hwasong Street and Rimhung Street, but I can feel from here the magnificence of our Pyongyang which is developing beyond recognition every year and seem to see the future of a prosperous and powerful country.”
