04/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

‘Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Vietnamese people are now waging a vigorous struggle for building a developed and prosperous Socialist State, true to the Resolution of the 13th Party Congress.

Being convinced that the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the two Parties and countries will further develop in conformity with the aspiration and desire of the two peoples – I wish the General Secretary and the President greater successes in their responsible work for the strengthening of the Party and the State and for the well-being of the people.’

Syrian: President Bashar al-Assad Abolishes 55-Year-Old Court-Martial Law! (4.9.2023)

The presidential decree ordered all active cases to be transferred to the traditional military court.

“All cases referred to military field courts in their current state are to be transferred to military judiciary for prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the penal code and the principles of military trials,” read the presidential decree.

According to Legislative Decree No. 109 of 1968, later amended by two other legislative decrees, the military field court is responsible for crimes falling under the jurisdiction of the military court during times of war and military operations.

The new decision comes as Syria has returned to the Arab fold and the Syrian government was reportedly required to boost the effort for a political solution to the country’s more than 12-year war.

China: Communist Party Pursues “Multi-Child” Policy! (31.8.2023)

31/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In order to boost people’s willingness to have more than one child, subsidies in the form of cash are a good measure, as the cost of giving birth to and raising a child is very high in any modern society today. The family needs a bigger house to accommodate a new member, the mother needs to spend months preparing for the delivery and the couple needs to care for and nurture a young one, all of which costs money and the individuals’ time.

The local government can shoulder some of the costs and inconvenience by promoting baby-care services or improving the conditions of kindergartens. But besides these services, some monetary support will greatly help young child-raising couples.

The subsidy for the second child and third child in Changshan can help parents cover part of the expenses such as hiring a wet nurse or buying clothes and other necessities. It might not be a huge sum but it shows the local government’s determination to encourage more childbirths.

The local government in Changshan county has rightly identified new couples, as they are the ones who are most likely to be planning families, for the subsidies. More local governments should observe the results and consider following suit.

China: Ministry of State Security Unveils WeChat Channel to Report US Espionage Activities! (3.8.2023)

03/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Regarding individuals who are coerced or deceived into engaging in espionage activities abroad, the Counter-Espionage Law has explicitly outlined measures for education and rescue. It stipulates that “those who are coerced or deceived into joining espionage organizations or hostile organizations abroad, and engage in activities harmful to the national security of the country, can avoid prosecution if they promptly report the true situation to the diplomatic missions of China abroad, or directly or through their units to the national security authorities upon entry back in China, and demonstrate remorse.”

US: Judge Blocks Arkansas State Law Allowing Library Censorship! (30.7.2023)

30/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This article accuses the US System of being ‘draconian’ – whilst NOT exactly ‘explaining’ as to ‘why’ this might be happening. This is because the Chinese government (and judiciary) also ‘blocks’ any material considered ‘reactionary’ or of an unacceptable ‘Bourgeois’ nature. Of course, the West carries-out a similar process through ‘supressing’ various political data (rather than ‘banning’). As everybody does this – the clever bit is working-out how to use this knowledge to make the enemy look worse than you – and cause the maximum rhetorical damage!

West Germany: A Single Christian Monk in Lützerath – Takes on the Police in a Muddy Field! (20.7.2023)

20/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

I was told about this interesting individual via an ‘Anarchist Activist’ Telegram Channel! I have no idea if he is a monk – but I doubt it – as such ‘Catholic’ monastics have to follow struct Monastic Rules usually derived from a famous Saint. Furthermore, I am not a supporter of Anarchism – as I think this is merely the ideology of hyper-individualism, almost always right-wing – and an expression of the Bourgeois system. Nevertheless, the careful use of ‘force’ here is interesting – as there is NO come-back from the State!
