“We once again urge the United States to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, immediately change course and stop official interactions of any form with Taiwan, stop pushing forward and revoke at once the so-called ‘Initiative’ and agreement, and stop sending wrong signals to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces; otherwise, all consequences shall be borne by the U.S. side,” said the spokesperson.
There is a tremendous amount of money to be made by far-right groups that make the odd post featuring a photograph of Adolf Hitler and containing a typical Neo-Nazi statement of racial aggression! Most of the time these groups steal one another’s content (a type of tolerated ‘hunting’) so that a single post originating on a specific Channel will re-appear all over the internet whilst the origin or author is never ‘referenced’! The false assumption is that it is ‘new’ and ‘original’ – when everyone has seen it before (and on many occasions). This is yet another example of the lack of intelligence and imagination on the far-right. At other times, whilst remaining continuously ‘fearful’ of ‘antifa’ (a blanket term used similar to that of the ‘Devil’ within Christianity) – many far-right groups drive deep into the remote countryside (where no ‘White’ people or ‘Immigrants’ exist) before they nervously unfurl their Hitlerite flag in front of a few indifferent trees! All are wearing masks and pretend to have just ‘returned’ from fighting in the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Units – when the reality is that their parents do not let them out much past 9 pm on weeknights! Far from conquering the world – this is how predatory capitalism has conquered and subordinated the far-right – as even their flags were brought from Amazon!
Law-abiding Chinese Nationals (and Overseas Chinese people) – particularly young women and girls – are advised to take their own security SERIOUSLY whilst living outside of China (with a focus on the usually ‘friendly’ country of Myanmar) due to the despicable behaviour of the certain criminals gangs which practice ‘Human Trafficking’ of female flesh for sexual purposes! Ethnic ‘Chinese’ people are kidnapped from many different places (by ‘Chinese’ and/or ‘non-Chinese’ criminal gangs) – and are ‘ransomed’ back to their families from what are believed to be ‘safe-havens’ in places such as rural Myanmar! However, the Myanmar government has a) given China a ‘Special Permission’ to hunt-down these criminals and ‘rescue’ the victims, and b) where necessary will ‘try’ these criminal gangs under draconian Myanmar Law – carrying-out ‘Death Sentences’ in public and within ‘Ten Minutes’ of such sentences being handed-down by the Myanmar Courts! As these criminals deserve this punishment – the government of the PRC will NOT stand in the way of Myanmar ‘Justice’ and fully supports the right of the Myanmar people to safeguard the security of their borders and the well-being of ethnic Chinese peope!
In fact, the U.S. government has a tradition of putting its domestic law above international law and selectively applies international rules as it sees fit. For example, Washington has enacted such domestic laws as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act to target and sanction specific countries, entities or individuals.
The ambiguous rules contained in these acts and executive orders, such as the “minimum contacts” rule and the “effects doctrine,” are a willful expansion of the jurisdiction of America’s domestic laws.
And for more than six decades, despite dozens of UN General Assembly resolutions, the United States has pressed ahead with its comprehensive blockade against Cuba, the longest and cruelest systemic trade embargo and financial sanctions in modern history, based on its embargo policies and domestic laws such as the Torricelli Act and the Helms-Burton Act. The blockade has led to over 100 billion U.S. dollars of direct losses to Cuba’s economy.
In the immediate days following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and the United States enjoyed a honeymoon period. The Charter for American-Russian Partnership and Friendship signed by the two sides in 1992 said “the well-being, prosperity, and security of a democratic Russian Federation and the United States of America are vitally interrelated.” However, things changed when Washington failed to provide Kremlin with the promised economic aid and NATO expanded despite Washington’s promise that the bloc would move “not one inch eastward.” This was unacceptable to Russia, and the ensuing deterioration of Moscow-Washington ties was only natural.
Deep down, America had never intended to treat Russia with respect even though Western-style democratic elections took place in the country. Ideology is just an instrument to intervene.
For Beijing, Washington’s condescending diplomacy is unacceptable. If Washington truly wants a workable relationship with China, it should treat China as an equal partner and show due respect.
The New Buddhist Year of 2566 is about to start – it is another year in which we still have to face obstacles and challenges! Therefore, I would like to call on the entire Communist Party, the State, the Armed Forces and all the People of Laos to preserve and enhance the good (Buddhist) heritage of our nation, to enhance the unity that is a already strong bond, to focus all our strength through encouragement and intelligence in the mission of protecting and developing our nation, and to push the implementation of the two National Agendas (Buddhist and Socialist) into a more formal and integrated order as a means of self-strengthening – in this way we can create a strong and deep transformation in all fields of work in the coming year!
