We need to redefine genocide, modern days Americans genocide.

We need to redefine genocide, modern days Americans genocide. 我們需要重新定義種族滅絕,現代美國人的種族滅絕惡行. by Johnson Choi 1-3-22 (comments by Prof. Ling-Chi Wang of UC Berkeley & Prof. John V Walsh, MD in SF)

US is going through a accelerate population reduction program, intentionally! 700,000+ death from COVID19, more than 400,000+ in 2021.

China has achieved 82% vaccination rates by 12-31-21, only 2 people died of Covid19 in 2021.

China expect to reach 86% vaccination rates by Feb 1 2022, Chinese New Year!

In China, 1,000s of Government official got fired since early 2020 for failing to do their job to contain COVID19. In US, I do not think anyone got fired.

I am not a scientist! I just look at numbers. COVID19 vaccines works!

Everyone has a choice on their own life, but each has a duty not to put your family or others (family, friends, colleagues) at risk.

Taking or not taking vaccines is like the Republicans verses the Democrats. In America we fight about everything and anything, but never for the interests of the entire nation. All about individualism! Me only! Very selfish!

In China, people works for the common goods of the nation!

If US failed, don’t blame China, blame ourselves, the worst enemy of US is ourselves!

Professor Ling-chi Wang of UC Berkeley: Hi, Johnson:

How do we explain the catastrophc death of over 700,000 Americans due to COVID-19 since 2020 in the wealthiest, medically most advance country in the world? The only word I can come up with is genocide. The commonest definition of the word is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race. Since the tragic and needless or avoidable death of these 700,00 Americans thus far includes Americans of all ethnicities, national origins, religions, and races, we need to expand the standard definition of genocide to include two deliberate political and economic policy decisions that result in the catastrophic death of tens of thousands of innocent civilians. The best example of the former is our government’s political decision to deliberately dismiss and deny the spread of the coronavirus and the pandemic for months and the failure to adopt timely and effective public health measures to contain or control the spread of the deadly virus. Examples of the latter are the deliberate economic policy decisions to bomb and wipe out critical infrastructures necessary for population survival and/or to impose economic sanctions and embargo to prevent urgent humanitarian aids, food, and medical supplies from reaching starving and sick population., resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of civilian population, such as, what the U.S. did in the wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria.

It is high time for the world to redefine genocide just like what China has been doing to redefine democracy in the 21th century.

Professor John V Walsh, MD, San Francisco: Agreed, Ling-chi! Perhaps it is time for a people’s tribunal to put the culprits on trial for genocide. p.s. The anti-vaxxers deserve a conviction albeit on a slightly lesser offense.

JT in SF:

I agree 100% with you Lingchi. What the politicians are doing is unacceptable and unforgivable. 800,000. Imagine everyone perished in the following states. And the entire population of SF. (874,961 2019 )

  1. Wyoming (Population: 581,075)
  2. Vermont (Population: 623,251)
  3. District of Columbia (Population: 714,153)
  4. Alaska (Population: 724,357)
  5. North Dakota (Population: 770,026)

And genocide by US sanctions can be proven unlike the Xinjiang genocide which could never be proven.

The US had announced a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics – yet nearly 60 US diplomats will be attending the games nonetheless. 美國已宣布外交抵制 2022 年北京冬奧會,但仍有近 60 名美國外交官將參加奧運會。

How serious can Washington’s belief be that “genocide” is taking place in China if it is allowing its athletes to participate in the Beijing Olympics and even ignoring its own “diplomatic boycott?” 如果華盛頓允許其運動員參加北京奧運會,甚至無視自己的“外交抵制”,那麼它認為中國正在發生“種族滅絕”的信念有多嚴重?

80-20’s Reasoned & Unique Position On “China Initiative”

80-20’s Reasoned & Unique Position On “China Initiative”

Q1: What is “China Initiative”?
A: Click here https://www.justice.gov/nsd/information-about-department-justice-s-china-initiative-and-compilation-china-related to read DOJ’s official definition of China Initiative. It has 10 components.

Q2: 80-20 has NOT joined the call to terminate “China Initiative”, why?
A: 80-20 does NOT object to the rationale behind the existence of “China Initiative”. Such a project is, unfortunately, an unavoidable consequence of a bad U.S.-China relationship. To illustrate this trend, 2 months ago CIA established a “China Mission Centre.” Our National Security Council has a Senior Director for China in Jon Czin who was 1 of Biden’s 6 staff in his virtual meeting with Pres. Xi of China. To ask DOJ to terminate China Initiative is politically unrealistic.

Even if one were to succeed in “terminating” it, such a project will exist underground. Our community will suffer more, because a covert program has NO transparency & accountability!

However, DOJ has grossly violated the human rights of the 5 million persons of Chinese descent in the U.S. in its EXECUTION of “China Initiative”, as is documented in Q4. We must strenuously fight against such violation.

Q3: Isn’t there a racial profiling issue in the “China Initiative”?
A: NO. If DOJ were investigating illegal transfer of technology to France, and
it focuses on Chinese, that is racial profiling. For DOJ to pay more attention to the Chinese community in its execution of “China Initiative,” it is only common sense.

Q4: Are there evidence of DOJ violating our human rights?
A: Yes. First, I’ll provide anecdotal evidence, and then statistical evidence.

(1) Anecdotal Evidence
The FBI has long engaged in the non-physical but extremely punishing torture of INNOCENT individuals of Chinese descent. FBI agents had lied, cheated & made incredibly stupid mistakes to incriminate our innocent individuals through the legal grinds of arrest, indictment, and court trials.

Examples are the well-publicized cases of Sherry Chen (2012), Prof. Xiaoxing
Xi (2015) and Prof. Anming Hu (2020). The terror & plight brought to these INNOCENT individuals and their families have created a terrifying Chilling Effect on our community.

(2) Statistical Evidence
(a) In a joint research project conducted by C-100 & the Univ. of Arizona, it is found that 50.7% of scientists of Chinese descent feel considerable fear and/or anxiety that they are being surveilled by the U.S. government, compared to only 11.7% of scientists of non-Chinese descent. (b) Normally less than 5% of Asian Americans would donate anonymously. To verify, click on http://www.80-20ef.org/SELF_results.html, which shows names of 2600 donors. However, more than 50% of the 995 donors to Prof. Anming Hu's family to help them buy food chose anonymity! Why? Likely, the donors feared that the U.S. government might not approve of their donations. How sad for our government! While advocating "human rights" worldwide, it scared its own people to such an extent.

Q5: DOJ worried about “non-traditional collectors” for China, is that why it is creating the Chilling Effect to scare the hack out of the Chinese community?
A: Yes, that is our guess. FBI director Wray has a preference for using totalitarian methodology. He advocated repeatedly in his Senate testimonies that we need to use “whole-of-society response” to catch Chinese spies – a not-so- subtle hint that there are Chinese spies everywhere in the U.S.

Could Director Wray be correct? NO! FBI’s own record has clearly disproved the above myth. After a 3-year effort under China Initiative, DOJ has gotten less than 10 convictions on individuals of Chinese descent. Hence the ratio of bad folks in our community is NOT 1 in 10 or 100 or 1,000. It is 1 in 500,000 in a community of 5 million.

DOJ needs to drastically revise its “China Initiative” playbook in order to stop the gross misconducts against the Chinese community in the EXECUTION of its China Initiative.

US is biting off more than it can chew over Taiwan and Ukraine

US is biting off more than it can chew over Taiwan and Ukraine 美國對台灣和烏克蘭不可能通吃 by Alex Lo Jan 3 2022

The United States and some of its allies, and Taiwan and Ukraine, have been pushing each other into confronting Russia and China, and finding it increasingly difficult to back down. But in time, Washington is likely to realise only ‘limited sovereignty’ for Ukraine and limited government for Taiwan can avoid war

US President Joe Biden has reassured Ukraine that the United States and its allies “will respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine”. His secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has recently made a similar reassurance to Taiwan.
One must wonder how seriously presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Tsai Ing-wen take Washington’s word for it. The problem is not only that America’s security guarantees aren’t what they used to be, but that both are clearly asking what Washington is unwilling to give.

The big question is often understood to be Washington’s willingness – or not – to go to war for Ukraine and Taiwan, even at the risk of spilling American blood and risking a regional conflagration in eastern Europe and East Asia. But this may be too simplistic.

The real problem is that Ukraine wants full and unconditional recognition to be treated as a full sovereign state, with secure borders; and Taiwan wants something similar, even if it is ready to concede to using diplomatic words or terms that may fall short of the literal meaning of full sovereignty.

Despite lip service, it seems clear Washington is not ready to give Ukraine such recognition and acknowledgement of that status. And it has, on record and repeatedly, reaffirmed its commitment to the one-China policy, however this vague doctrine is interpreted differently by various state-level actors.

The US may be happy to use Ukraine and Taiwan as a diplomatic or even a military wedge against Moscow and Beijing, and both Kyiv and Taipei are willing to be so used in exchange for sovereign gains. But Ukraine and Taiwan are taking an existential risk, and they unlikely want to put Washington’s professed commitments to the test.

Ukraine and Russia

After all, there is an inherent contradiction in US policy towards both places. In the case of Ukraine, Washington has asked Moscow and Kyiv to return to the principles, so far unimplemented, of the Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015, and negotiate on their basis.

Both those protocols precisely amplify the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine; or from Moscow’s perspective according to which it is not even a party to the conflict, which is between Ukraine and pro-Russian secessionist forces in eastern Ukraine and the Donbas region.

Quite simply, the Russians consider the Minsk protocols as formally establishing limited territorial sovereignty whereas, obviously, Ukraine considers the goal of implementing those protocols as establishing its full sovereignty with secure borders. Currently, despite Washington’s strong words of support for Ukraine and warnings against Moscow, it is not ready to commit to Kyiv’s position; hence its urging of both sides to return to Minsk I and II.

A recent study by the Chatham House think tank explains the details of this conundrum further:

“Ukraine sees the [Minsk] agreements as instruments with which to re-establish its sovereignty in line with the following sequence: a ceasefire; a Russian withdrawal from eastern Ukraine; return of the Russia/Ukraine border to Ukrainian control; free and fair elections in the Donbas region; and a limited devolution of power to Russia’s proxy regimes, which would be reintegrated and resubordinated to the authorities in Kyiv. Ukraine would be able to make its own domestic and foreign policy choices.”

However, Moscow reverses the sequence and reaches the opposite conclusion. The study continues:

“Russia sees the Minsk agreements as tools with which to break Ukraine’s sovereignty. Its interpretation reverses key elements in the sequence of actions: elections in occupied Donbas would take place before Ukraine had reclaimed control of the border; this would be followed by comprehensive autonomy for Russia’s proxy regimes, crippling the central authorities in Kyiv. Ukraine would be unable to govern itself effectively or orient itself towards the West.”

Minsk I and II won’t help resolve the Ukraine crisis; rather they crystallise the very nature of the conflict.

Taiwan and Beijing

In the case of Taiwan, you have something extremely similar, and even more clear-cut. Washington does not even recognise Taiwan’s sovereignty, however much it’s willing to play the Taiwan card as part of its multipronged, anti-China campaign, by encouraging it to assert itself on various international arenas.

Here’s the problem for Tsai. Unless the US is willing to abandon the one-China policy and recognise Taiwan’s sovereignty, its security guarantee will always remain ambiguous. Taiwan will only know the true worth of America’s guarantee if it takes that fateful and terrifying step, which actually, the vast majority of Taiwanese don’t want to contemplate, let alone take.

I am not denying that many Taiwanese want independence, but most want peace; or to avoid war much more, as polls have shown.

The US and some of its allies, and Taiwan and Ukraine, have been pushing each other into confronting Russia and China, and finding it increasingly difficult to back down. But in time, Washington is likely to realise only “limited sovereignty” for Ukraine and limited government for Taiwan can avoid war. It may well, in other words, end up moving closer to rival China and Russia at the expense of both friendly Kyiv and Taipei. And that will actually be for everyone’s good.

Past to Present: to Observe China Without Filter

Andreas Wang Ellefsen: On December 30, Ambassador Yi Xianliang wrote an article entitled “Past to Present: to Observe China Without Filter” on Aftenposten, encouraging Norwegian friends to understand China from an objective and friendly point of view. The full text is as follows:

China has become a hot topic. In the past 30 days, there has been nearly 30 articles about China on Aftenposten alone. As the Chinese ambassador, I appreciate the attention to my country. However, I find it difficult to agree with some of the views in the articles. How should we observe China? What kind of civilization has persisted in the 5000 years’ history of China? What diversities does the land of 9.6 million square kilometers feature? What kind of values do the 1.4 billion people believe in? These elements are complicated issues. But it might be wise observe China from 4 perspectives:

The historical perspective: During the Warring States period over 2000 years ago, China was a war zone where there was not so much of a livelihood for the people. During the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago, China became one of the most prosperous nation after having stabilized its borders. Zheng He, leading his gigantic fleet, made 7 overseas visits, reaching as far as eastern Africa, without claiming an inch of territory. Nor did he initiate any war or conflict against others. In the Qing Dynasty which collapsed 110 years ago, China was struggling deep in the chaos created by foreign warships and forced opium trade. The average life expectancy was less than 34 years. In the next century, tens of millions of people died in the melee during the Warlord Era, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Civil War. It was not until the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 that the nation was back on track. In the early 1950s, China’s population was 570 million while its GDP was 68 billion USD. The country was in ruin and couldn’t even produce basic goods such as thumbtacks. Now in 2020, China enjoys a average life expectancy of 77 years and its GDP is at 14.7 trillion USD. It is the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries and regions, and contributed more than 30 % of the world’s economic growth. China has experienced both ups and downs in its 5000 years of history, and the lesson are clear. Only by continuous self-improvement can we realize peace. Only with peace can we prosper. Therefore, the Chinese people treasure peaceful coexistence.

The realistic perspective: With a vast territory and great diversity, China’s development could not be realized simultaneously. There are metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, but also many underdeveloped regions. Although almost 800 million people have been lifted out of absolute poverty over the past 4 decades, China’s GDP per capita is still less than 1/7 of that in Norway. 600 million Chinese have a monthly income less than 1400 Norwegian Krones. China is and will remain a developing country for a long time. As a result, the primary task of the Chinese government is to meet the needs of its own people, maintain social fairness and justice, and to solve the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development. For instance, if 1.4 billion Chinese eat one egg per day, 500 billion eggs are needed for a year. And the problems China faces are more complicated than just providing eggs. Therefore, development is the first priority of China. We have no interest or extra resources to seek hegemony.

The future-oriented perspective: The driving force within China originates from the belief of a better world. As a responsible country, China wants to contribute more to the outside world. The surviving logic of Chinese is that one can only achieve better well-being when others are well and happy. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, we have produced 350 billion face masks, supplied the world with 2 billion vaccine doses and are among the first countries to support the sharing of vaccine patents. Nuclear weapon is a heated topic in Norway. China is the only one among countries with nuclear weapons that commits itself to the no-first-use policy, and will not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones. China remains an open economy no matter how international conditions may change. The China International Import Expo has been held in four consecutive years, and China remains the world’s largest trading nation in goods. In 2019, 145 million tourists came to the Chinese mainland, while 155 million Chinese traveled around the world. China longs for a world of true multilateralism, with peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom as the common values of mankind. China’s development is not the result of colonization or invasion, but an outcome of hard work. China looks forward to a community with a shared future for mankind where no countries shall live at the mercy of other countries. Instead, all people have full right to achieve common prosperity through cooperation.

The political perspective: China has always been seeking a development system that suits its reality. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, numerous experiments on political systems were conducted, among which both constitutional monarchy and parliamentarism failed. It is through continuous exploration and practice that the current political, economic and social systems were established. The political system in Norway differs from that in the U.S. or the U.K.. It was chosen by the Norwegian people according to the Norwegian conditions. For over 70 years, the Chinese, led by the Communist Party of China, have promoted democracy in their own unique way. The feeling of happiness and participation in public governance among all Chinese people have increased, the supervision of the government has become more effective, and the whole society has become more inclusive and vibrant. China is committed to developing whole-process people’s democracy, which is reflected in the satisfaction of ordinary people. Travel around China, and you will have a deeper understanding of the real life, including political life, of Chinese people. If there should be a universal principle in China, then it must be to seek truth from facts. And that is precisely the recipe for China’s progress. To distort the truth or mislead on purpose will pay a heavy price. There has been many hard-learned lessons for China and other countries throughout history.

The image of China in your eyes depends on your intention and will of observation. However, China should by no means be observed in one color or from one angle, just as no one visits the Munch Museum with sunglasses on. A diverse China deserves nuanced insight without filters, and the Winter Olympics in Beijing offers just such an opportunity. I’m convinced that if you could put away the prejudice, China might bring you a pleasant surprise. It is my sincere hope that you could understand China from an objective and friendly point of view.

Professor John V Walsh, MD, San Francisco: This is a must hear interview, because Wilkerson is a man who knows whereof he speaks. And because Ukraine is to Western Eurasia what Taiwan is to Eastern Eurasia. US has similar, profoundly destructive plans for the fate of each of these areas. Scary! Wilkerson calls US leadership “insane.”
