At the closing ceremony, swimmer Jiang Yuyan and track and field athlete Di Dongdong served as flag bearers for the Chinese delegation. The night before, at Paris La Defense Arena, 19-year-old Jiang shattered the world record in the women’s 100-meter backstroke S6 final with a time of 1:19.44, claiming her seventh gold medal at the Paris Paralympics.

“Standing on that podium, watching the flag rise and hearing the (national) anthem play because of my own hard work — it’s a feeling of pride and fulfillment that’s hard to describe,” Jiang said. “I often sing the anthem as loud as I can, I wonder if you can hear me.”

The Chinese delegation reaffirmed its dominance in swimming, athletics, table tennis, fencing and badminton, securing 22 gold medals in swimming and 21 in athletics.

Paralympic pool prodigy Guo Jincheng, who is easily recognizable with his shaved head and no swimming cap, competed in nine events, bringing home four gold and two silver medals.

China: Uygur Women Hit Hardest by US Sanctions on Xinjiang! (1.9.2024)

Asked if the company would consider laying off its Uygur employees in exchange for the revocation of U.S. sanctions, Dai Tian, general manager of the Urumqi base at Xinjiang Middle Hoshine, said: “No. Absolutely not. We won’t lay off any ethic employees. They have been making contributions to the development of our company, how could we abandon them?”

“We even invested more in Xinjiang after the sanctions,” Dai said, adding that Hoshine has been adjusting its production structure and tackling technical challenges in response to the sanctions.

“We see safeguarding the great unity of our nation as our social responsibility. ‘Forced labor’ was merely an excuse to suppress the development of Chinese high-tech companies and to disrupt China’s social stability and unity. So we should be even more united, and focus on developing and strengthening ourselves,” Dai said.

The British-based organization wrote on X, “We are deeply distressed to see that six children, including four ten-year-old twins, and their mother, are the latest victims of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.”

Save the Children emphasized their stance against the ongoing violence faced by Palestinian children, declaring, “We simply cannot accept the violence that Palestinian children continue to endure as a norm.”

The organization urged the UK government to take immediate action by halting arms sales to Israel, highlighting the clear risk that such arms might be used to commit severe violations of humanitarian law.

Imperial Japanese Army Troops Form-Up - Okinawa!

Book Review: Battle for Okinawa – By Colonel Yahara Hiromichi [八原博通]! (6.8.2024)

When these attacks failed – to prevent rape – Okinawan women and girls threw themselves off of cliffs – together with their young siblings and children. US Servicemen raped Okinawan civilians wherever they were found alive – whilst unarmed Okinawan civilians were shot on sight even in areas where all Imperial Japanese Army Units nolonger existed. This is why so many Okinawan civilians were killed – many even after capture or before they could attack again – according to the Americans. The Okinawans were NOT the passive victims trapped between two battling sides. The Okinawan civilians fought hard against the Americans – attempting to protect their ancestral lands and their ancestral shrines. This is a fascinating and highly important book that tells the story from the other side. The US Army possessed virtually no one who could speak Japanese – as all Japanese-Americans had been placed in Concentration Camps in remote areas of the US.

Possibly the Narrowest Street in the World!

Exeter: Parliament Street – the Narrowest Street in the World! (2.8.2024)

However, in 1660 a counter-Revolution occurred that saw the Bourgeoisie retain their power – but switch their allegiance away from the peasants and workers and back in favour of the aristocracy and the royal family (although being careful to only reintroduce a Constitutional Monarchy with any real or actual power). Voting for the masses was abandoned – with voting only encouraged amongst the most wealthiest and influential of the post-Cromwellian middle class. I mention this as some have speculated that Parliament Street was renamed as such – as a slight against Cromwell – but I doubt this. Prior to the counter-Revolution of 1660 – Cromwell was very popular and was so powerful that anyone with sense would not dare risk their lives by doing something so stupid as altering a street name.
