UN gives Chinese government the names of human rights activist and dissidents, resulting in human rights violations

If you didn't know, UN has been handing out the names of dissidents and human rights advocates to Chinese government since 2006, and denied it, lied about this policy to the member states. Emma Reilly is the whistleblower who made it public and was punished for it, charged for misconduct, and fired.

Last week United Nations Dispute Tribunal found that Reilly was correct for reporting about the policy and that it was still in use as a policy in 2019. The judgment acknowledges that UN has not investigated this fairly, as the "investigators" included one who was previously found guilty of using investigations for retaliation and didn't interview a single witness Reilly provided.

But also, according to the judge, Reilly should have prioritised her career over Human Rights Defenders and stayed silent, as UN has a ban on criticism. This is only a judgement on if Emma Reilly was allowed to make this information public, but in a way, she lost this, but now has has all the evidence that UN Human Rights office has been complicit in international crimes and lied about it, and every senior officer knew about it.

“Don’t take the Chinese people lightly” (essay)

The Opium War

On September 22, 2023, China's vice president barked, "Don't take the Chinese people lightly." I saw it on NHK TV in Japan. It was such a unique statement that I became interested and decided to search for this man's name on the Internet. However, no information has been released regarding this statement, and it seems that this roar is considered to be a phantom thing. I can't imagine that it was the Chinese government's intention to do this (as the person who made the statement), so I think it was self-regulation by Google and others.

But should we be frightened by this statement? As the vice president said, China has "looked down on other peoples and nations throughout its history." Japan is a typical example of this, being called ``東夷：Toi'' (barbarians of the east), ``倭：Wa'' (dwarfs), and even today is sometimes referred to derogatorily as ``Small Japan.'' Even with Japan's recent ban on seafood imports, there is a clear sense of ``punishing Japan, an unsuspecting barbarian country.''

In this way, to the shock of the Qing Dynasty, which Britain also lightly regarded as a barbarian country, Britain used force to overwhelm them (The Opium War, 1840). For the first time in its history, China experienced great humiliation and felt humbled. From then on, the people must have sworn revenge on Western civilization at a deep level of consciousness.

Well, the background to this statement is probably the process of taking revenge by incorporating Western civilization and expanding its economy and military armament. Of all the countries in the world, I guess it's a country that can't be a normal country. If they are not the best, they won't be satisfied. A country of China-centered thought.

“中国人民を軽く見るな”（エッセイ）

２０２３年９月２２日、中国の副主席が“中国人民を軽く見るな”と吠えた。日本のNHKテレビで見た。実にユニークな発言だったので、私は興味を持ち、NET上でこの男の名前を検索しようとした。ところがこの発言に関して情報は一つも出ておらず、この咆哮は幻のものとされているらしい。それをやったのが中国政府の意向とは（発言当事者としては）考えられないので、googleその他の自己規制であると思われる。

だがこの発言に怯える必要があるのだろうか？副主席はそう言ったが、中国はその歴史において、“他民族、他国家を軽く見てきた”。日本はその典型で、「東夷（東の蛮族）」と呼��れ、「倭（小人）」と呼ばれ、今でも「小日本」と蔑称されることがある。最近の日本の海産物輸入禁止にせよ、「怪しからぬ蛮国・日本に懲罰を与える」という意識が見え隠れする。

このやり方で、イギリスも蛮国と軽くみていた「清王朝」は、彼らが驚愕したことに、イギリスは力で彼らをねじ伏せた（アヘン戦争、１８４０）。ここに中国は歴史上はじめて大きな屈辱を味わい、卑小感に浸った。そしてその時以降民族の深層意識レベルで、西欧文明へのリベンジを誓ったのだろう。

まあ、西欧文明を取り込み、経済、軍備を拡大して、そのリベンジを果たす過程であるのが、今回の発言の背景なのだろう。世界の国のなかで、普通の国であることは出来ない国なのだろうな。一番でなければ、気が済まないわけだ。中華思想の国だもの。

The curse of long-ruling autocrats

By Yuhua Wang

In October 2022, during the 20th Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping was “reelected” as the party’s chairman, paving his way for a third term as China’s top political leader. This will make Xi the longest-reigning head of state in the history of the People’s Republic—even longer than Mao Zedong, the founder of the regime, who was head of state from 1949 to 1959.

Are long-reining rulers a blessing or a curse to the country?

Takeaways from AP report on how the search for the coronavirus origins turned toxic

BEIJING (AP) — The Chinese government froze meaningful efforts to trace the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, despite publicly declaring it supported an open scientific inquiry, an Associated Press investigation has found. The AP drew on thousands of pages of undisclosed emails and documents, leaked recordings, and dozens of interviews that showed the freeze began far earlier than previously…

Look, I’m obviously less worried about what the Chinese government would do with my data than I am, say the cops, or my employer, but everybody here is forgetting about Chinese propaganda and probably assumes they can “critical thinking” themselves immune to it.

#tik tok #chinese government #critical thinking is the left’s version of the right’s natural immunity during covid #you all think you can’t be manipulated because you hate ads #but so many of you have been tricked out of not voting #a president that won’t protect taiwan korea and japan is china’s dream #you want a land war in asia don’t vote #china will do to taiwan what russia did to ukraine if trump is in office

“URGENT: North Korean Refugees At Risk of Forced Repatriation”

It so easy to send an email or tweet. I know our world is bombarded right now with the hurting on a global scale…but that’s exactly why this is happening…because we are distracted and they don’t think we are watching. Let’s let them know we see and hopefully change something. 💔🙏🏻

The night was made of metal, a heavy and impenetrable foil that seemed to muffle the distant sound of the stock market. Shanghai copper climbed slowly, sensual and silent, as if it too was aware of the latest move to support it. There was a mysterious energy in the air, as though the city had magnetized the particles around it, and the copper felt like a part of it. A thin, bright thread of destiny connecting us all.
