The demonization of China

I've watched a fair number of Daniel's videos. He is pretty good but a little too full of himself. He often talks over the people he is supposed to be interviewing. However I love his first hand accounts of what it is like to live in China. I find Gweilo60 very interestig for the same reason. This video gives a pretty good overview of differences in legal norms for people's every day lives.

Ritter: America can successfully defend Taiwan against China but only in its dreams

"The US military has deteriorated to the point that the only way it could win a simulated war game in which it was called on to defend Taiwan from a 'Chinese invasion' force is by inventing capabilities it does not yet possess..."

The NDP has determined that the majority of Canadians believe in imperialism and a strong military.

Engler: Social Democrats, China and John McCain Prize

https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/04/16/social-democrats-china-and-john-...

"The recent flap over an award given out by the Halifax International Security Forum highlights how the NDP is jumping into bed with neocon militarists."

NDP = No Difference Party

NDP foreign affairs critic Jack Harris labeled any interference in the HSF award choice as “shameful and plays into the hands of the Communist leadership of China.” Harris also told Globe and Mail reporter Steven Chase that the award to Tsai would be “an indicator of how the free world is united against China’s bullying tactics.”

If Harris had stopped at “the free world is united against China’s bullying” it would have simply represented an example of his increasingly common China bashing. But Harris also lauded the HSF as “among the free world’s most significant defence meetings.” On Wednesday NDP MPs backed a Conservative motion in the House of Commons, which passed unanimously, supporting giving an award to Tsai and maintaining HSF’s funding.

Sponsored by NATO, DND and military companies, the HSF is based in Washington. It was set up by a neocon who advised the Harper government and was strongly promoted by arch militarist John McCain.

Canada unfortunately still has its white man's burden of keeping the brown people in check so it cannot restrict imposing its will on other nations to merely its neighbours. We are currently subjecting the people of the following countries to financial degradation and in some cases that includes greatly increased starvation and disease.

Canadian sanctions are imposed under the United Nations Act (UNA), the Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA) or the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (JVCFOA). For specific information about the sanctions regime imposed against countries or individuals, consult the relevant regulations. These can be found on the Regulations pages linked below. More information on the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Regulations can be found on the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act page.

Canada has imposed sanctions in relation to the following countries:

• Belarus
• Central African Republic
• Democratic Republic of the Congo
• Iran
• Iraq
• Lebanon
• Libya
• Mali
• Myanmar
• Nicaragua
• North Korea
• People’s Republic of China
• Russia
• Somalia
• South Sudan
• Sudan
• Syria
• Ukraine (linked to Russia’s ongoing violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity)
• Venezuela
• Yemen
• Zimbabwe

Canada has implemented mechanisms to prevent the concealment and transfer of funds or assets used to finance terrorism. These allow specified measures to be applied to listed terrorist entities.

• Terrorist Entities, including the Taliban, ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida

You mean to fight Chinese capitalism?

I'm sure Marx would be proud that they continue to call themselves Communist. 

Biden's MacArthur Moment

 Canada, and the west generally, is amply supplied with these courtier-media stenographers unfortunately. Perhaps this is why Chomsky prefers the more accurate term 'elite media' over 'mass media'.

Bezos' blog and NATO lobby continues to stir anti-Chinese sentiment

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/05/bezos-blog-and-nato-lobby-stir-mor...

"The reasons the WaPo editors reopen the issue has nothing to do with real causes about the origins of the pandemic. The sole purpose is to further incite hostility toward China by posting a crackpot theory for which there is no hint of evidence."

China’s constitution puts the Communist Party above the law, and recognizes no limits to its authority. And, by disregarding international law in the South China Sea, tearing up an international treaty in order to extinguish political freedom in Hong Kong and committing genocide in Xinjiang, the regime has demonstrated beyond a shred of doubt that it extends its authority to whatever length feasible.

Canada's media is so democratic and free. David Kenneth Roy Thomson, 3rd Baron Thomson of Fleet speaks for the common person through his media, including the Toronto newspaper the Globe. Here is a perfect propaganda piece where it repeats three lies as self evident truths requiring no proof.

1.  disregarding international law in the South China Sea.

2. tearing up an international treaty

3. committing genocide in Xinjiang

1. Whose interpretation of international law?

2. What treaty? Britain had no treaty with China over Hong Kong. They did agree that the Hong Kong, British based legal system would remain in place to govern its financial, stock and real estate markets. If the British had let the Chinese in Hong Kong run the show then maybe there would be some democratic rights that they agreed too, however the British always appointed the Governor and he was directly responsible only to the British government.

3. committing genocide in Xinjiang? One more incident of the British big lie. Masters of propaganda are far more subtle.

Goebbels did describe the big lie in different language in an article he wrote in 1941, “Churchill’s Lie Factory,” but he was accusing the British of the ploy:

"The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous."

Randall Bytwerk argues that neither Hitler nor Goebbels would admit to lying. Goebbels, “always maintained that propaganda had to be truthful. That doesn’t mean he didn’t lie, but it would be a pretty poor propagandist who publicly proclaimed that he was going to lie.”

Conflict With China a 'High Likelihood', says Top Australian General

"This Australian general is saying there will be a war with China. He and his political and media collaborators are the true extremists of 2021, conditioning us to accept the insanity of a racist war whose horror none of us can begin to imagine."

Yappy dog barking from behind its masters pant legs. Here is a great comparison of China and Australia, I am sure the Australian's have the Chinese very worried.

"We cannot be dependent on the Chinese market. It's not only bad for our geopolitical-strategic interest. You will never compete and win against them, unless you take back the means of production."

Why Uyghur, Huawei,Hong-Kong, South China Sea, 'Kung flu' provocations etc.

Fareed Zakaria interviewed former Def. Sec. Rbt Gates today and let  him go on about Xi Jinping's threat to Taiwan, not once suggesting how China might feel threatened by all the US military bases on its borders which he'd highlighted on 21April in a supert "Take" that Medea Benjamin and others retweeted.

"A screenshot of an article on the blog Utopia reveals: 'Stop talking about the Israeli-Palestinian 'conflict - it's colonialism."

This is a very predictable outcome to state sponsored hate speech. Chinese people not only started this pandemic but they commit genocide because they do not share our values but instead are demonic communists.

I lived in Burnaby for 20 years and its diversity is what I loved the most. It was almost a cultural shock to move back to the Island and into our very white communities. My son's graduation class from Moscrop had about 50% kids of Asian heritage. My grandsons in Courtenay had maybe 5% in their classes.

Fighting racism is an ongoing thing in Canada. I will not let racist behaviour go unchallenged in my public spaces and have stopped going to certain relatives houses because I can't see myself telling them what they can and cannot say in their own homes.

That is the problem with thinking that this is about religion. The Israeli Zionists are imperialists first and in that capacity have been funding and training various ethnic terrorist groups including the Uyghurs.

It goes without saying that the Zionist plan provided both the radicalization from the bottom AND the dictatorship propaganda against their rivals. 

When you hold the megaphone and the mercenaries, nation after nation will succumb to the Zionist trap of Islamic radicalization.

This process continues today via ISIS and sectarian mercenaries like some Kurdish minorities, and in case of Uyghurs in an attempt to Balkanize and defeat China as an emerging super power.

Tough to do when over 90% of the people support the central government. But Canadians know in their heart of hearts that despite the objective facts about how bad liberal democracy is for meeting the needs of the masses we have been brain washed to believe it is still better than all the rest. Mr. Magoo is our national mascot. The environment is what the Chinese people want the focus on next and that is what they expect to get from their government. We get a liberal democracy where our governments of all stripes are allowing and encouraging pipelines and dirty energy expansion, while claiming its China that wants our tar sands gunk meanwhile we cannot provide clean drinking water to our indigenous communities.

Our 2016 survey reveals that Chinese citizens are most concerned about air pollution, with 34% naming it as the most important environmental issue. This is followed in perceived importance by food safety (19%), climate change (16%), and water pollution (12%). Sorted by place of residency, urban dwellers are disproportionally likely to view climate change as the most serious environmental issue, while rural villagers are more likely to be concerned about water pollution. https://ash.harvard.edu/files/ash/files/final_policy_brief_7.6.2020.pdf

Here is an interesting article about the yellow peril press in Canada. It does go on for a bit but raises some interesting points and highlights the ongoing demonetization in Canadian institutions.

Over the past few weeks there has been a ramping up of a sinophobic anti-China campaign by Canadian media. This campaign comes in total disregard of the clear links between rampant Sinophobia  and the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes across the continent, including Canada. The core element of this campaign is a push to create the impression among Canadians that China is plotting to subvert Canadian “democracy” and infiltrate Canadian institutions. The groups used as proxies to push these dangerous narratives: Hong Kong “pro-democracy” dissident groups in Canada, and “Uyghur rights” groups and their imperialist sympathizers.

China blasts Wuhan lab-leak conspiracy, urges probe of ALL early covid-19 cases and [US] secret bases around the world

https://on.rt.com/b910

"Beijing has responded to US President Joe Biden's announcement of a probe into COVID-19 origins by denouncing the 'lab-leak' hypothesis as a conspiracy theory and urging an investigation into secret US bio-labs around the world..."

The 'lab-leak' theory is not of equal value - promoting it furthers the China hawks

https://t.co/THyn1wAV8t

"It is a sad experience to see that several writers I like and often agree with are propping up a Russiagate-like conspiracy theory about the origins of the coronavirus..."

Does Biden's demand to probe the origins include complete access to Canada's labs and all our records or is it only China that needs to bare itself and all its data to the imperium?

I have been reading PZ Myers' blog Pharyngula for quite a few years, and he has become my main resource when I need an expert opinion on something biological. Well, he says that the bulk of the scientific community think it is a waste of time and resources to be researching whether SarsCov2 escaped from a lab, since that is a very low probability hypothesis.

PZ Myers wrote:

I don’t think the scientific community is divided. There are a few scientists who think the lab leak hypothesis is possible and should be investigated more (but they lack any evidence), while the majority are saying “Wha…? But we already know viruses evolve rapidly, and that there are vast numbers of unknown viruses lurking in natural reservoirs, so why are you asking us to waste time on the least likely explanation?” And so it will go, round and round, with major news organizations feeding the conspiracy theories and paranoia.

Meanwhile, the strongest piece of evidence the conspiracy theorists can muster is the claim that the Chinese have been dodgy about allowing investigators in. This is nonsense. The head of the Wuhan labs, Zheng-Li Shi, explains.
