Video: We can’t believe one generation has changed China after we came here in 1986, 52 years of marriage, last 13 years lives in China. 1986年我們來到這里後，我們無法相信一代人改變了中國，結婚52年，自2009年在中國生活。
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson first visited China in 1986 with their five children.
These couples have been married for over 52 years and living in China from 20th April, 2009.
I’m grateful to these couples for accepting to share their life experiences about marriage and life in China with Living in China Series.
We discussed about how China was in the year 1986, their perception about the country China before moving here, what marriage means to them, what has kept their marriage over 52 years, What are the differences between Australia and China, Does having Children changes the dynamics of marriage? Their advice for young couples, what’s their social life in China looking at their age among other important issues.
“They have turned the China Initiative into an instrument for racial profiling,” says Judy Chu, a Democratic representative from California who is the first Chinese-American woman elected to Congress. “They have turned it into a means to terrorise Chinese scientists and engineers. Something has gone dramatically wrong.” “他們將中國倡議變成了種族定性的工具，”來自加利福尼亞的民主黨代表趙美心說，她是第一位當選國會議員的華裔女性。 “他們把它變成了恐嚇中國科學家和工程師的手段。 出現了嚴重的錯誤。”
Don’t be foolish, US wants your brainpower only. In the 1800s Chinese was slave labor built the US transcontinental railroad, when done, the ultimate reward was the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, renewed under different versions till today.

In 2020, ASPI, or the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, released a report claiming to have uncovered the widespread use of Uygur slave labor in Chinese factories. The report, Uyghurs for Sale, went on to gain huge traction in media and government circles, ultimately leading to the popular belief today that Xinjiang’s Uygur people are forced to work against their will. This has had huge ramifications, including but not limited to the US announcing a boycott of any and all products produced in Xinjiang.
But a recent report by Australian Jaq James, an independent Western propaganda analyst and international law advocate, debunks ASPI’s entire report from a legal standpoint, concluding that “the ASPI report was not a work of scholarly analysis, but rather a piece of strategic disinformation to exact harm.” The 78-page report shows that not a single one of ASPI’s 18 accusations stand up to scrutiny, and that the report purposefully and maliciously smears China as a human rights abuser, with the ultimate result being that it was actually the Australian think tank that has infringed on the human rights of the Uygur people, namely “their right to work and their right to access work-training programs, and possibly other human rights.”
Jaq argues that this could mean that ASPI actually contributed to human rights violations of consensual Uygur workers under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. She also argues that ASPI and the Australian government “must right the grave wrong perpetrated against the Uyghurs because of the ASPI report.”

Ugly head of ‘imperial jealousy’ rears in U.S. reaction to Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics 美國對北京 2022 年冬奧會的反應引發了“帝國嫉妒”的醜陋美國人. by Danny Haiphong 20-Jan-2022
China’s National Speed Skating Oval, the new venue built on Beijing’s Olympic Green for the Winter Olympics, which will host the speed skating competitions at the 2022 Winter Olympics, in Beijing, China.

In a few weeks, athletes from across the globe will compete in the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. The Games come amid a challenging period for the world. COVID-19 continues to contribute to greater economic and social instability. Militarism and climate change threaten the future of humanity. Instead of facing these challenges head on, some countries such as the United States have chosen to politicize the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The politicization of the Olympics has taken many forms but the most significant is the U.S.-led “diplomatic boycott” of the Games announced early last month, which was justified on the basis of fraudulent and unproven claims of human rights violations in China. Organizations such as the World Uygur Congress and Students for a Free Tibet, both of which receive funding from the National Endowment for Democracy linked with the Central Intelligence Agency, are leading forces in the boycott campaign. The effort has also received bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress, with several Western countries following Joe Biden’s lead. In a blatant act of hypocrisy, 18 U.S. officials applied for visas with plans to visit Beijing during the Games shortly after the announced “diplomatic boycott.”
Now Western media are hyping so-called threats to athletes who will participate in the Games such as poor food quality and “surveillance” of phones, according to British newspapers the Guardian and Daily Mail, as part of its smear campaign against China’s hosting of the Winter Olympics. The politicization of the Winter Olympic Games is indicative of an ugly “imperial jealousy.” An unspoken reality in the West is that their societies are experiencing a decline in global prestige amid a myriad of crises. These crises include economic contraction, ineffective pandemic control measures leading to a massive loss of lives, and growing class inequality. The result has been a steep increase in government mistrust within the nations that boast of possessing “democratic” political systems.
“Imperial jealousy” is a byproduct of a policy of hostility which approaches China as both a geopolitical “threat” and a convenient scapegoat for domestic problems. From such a policy orientation, it is understandable that the Winter Olympics would be viewed as a “threat” to U.S. hegemony. China’s capacity to host the Games amid global uncertainty is an enormous achievement. The Winter Olympics is an opportunity for both athletes and people from around the world to experience China’s accomplishments for themselves.
Indeed, the Winter Olympic Games will showcase a number of developments that demonstrate China’s commitment to not only environmental sustainability but the health of the participants. All venues at the Games will be powered by green electricity in the form of solar and wind. An automatic smart high-speed rail line traveling from Beijing to Zhangjiakou has debuted for the Games, reaching speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour and equipped with a 5G live broadcast studio. China has also collaborated with the International Olympic Committee and all relevant parties to construct pandemic measures which will protect Olympic participants and the Chinese people from COVID-19.
So as the U.S. establishment fearmongers over a mythical “China threat,” the truth is that China’s accomplishments represent a stark contrast from the U.S.’s own self-inflicted wounds. Neither the U.S. Congress nor President Joe Biden has been able to pass comprehensive policies that lessen the country’s dependence on fossil fuel energy consumption. Not a single high-speed rail line exists in the United States. Allegations of China conducting “surveillance” on the cellular data of athletes deflect from the fact that U.S. intelligence agencies spy on the data of its citizens and even the political leaders of so-called allies in the West.
There is a saying that jealousy is the sincerest form of flattery but in the U.S.’s case, jealousy of China is an outgrowth of imperial decay.
U.S. leaders have projected their own problems onto China and demonstrated that hegemonic ambitions are more important than the needs of the people of the U.S. The misguided fear of China spread by the U.S. establishment has two goals: to undermine China’s accomplishments and deflect from the shortcomings of the U.S. political and economic system. Both have already failed. Biden’s approval ratings have only declined in the lead up to the Winter Olympic Games. And the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics are set to take place as scheduled and give the world deeper insight into China’s economic miracle and governance system.
