US attitude and actions towards China a reflection of her own guilty past. Chinese Culture and Heritage for 5,000 years don’t practices Americans style horrific acts. The rise of China has given Global South, ASEAN, South America and weaker nations hopes to fight against US hegemony. by Johnson Choi, Nov 26 2021
美國對中國的態度和行動反映了她自己罪惡的過去. 5000 年來的中國文化和遺產從來沒有像美國式的可怕行為。中國的崛起給了地球南方、南美洲, 東盟和弱國對抗美國霸權新的希望。
US Colonial past by getting rid of Britain and later gain independence became colonial master to prey on weaker nations (Not China policy since ancient time).
To become legitimate owner of the stolen lands, US has engaged in ethnic cleansing against Native Americans through drastic population elimination program. US is probably the first nation committed the crimes against humanity (Not China policy since ancient time, US weaponized Human Rights but in fact one of the worst violators in human history).
In order to cultivate the stolen land with cheap labors, US imports slaves from Africa and treated them no better than animals (Not China policy since ancient time).
US like the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as part of the political system also known as the modern day’s Western Democracy (Religion not used by China to brainwashed people since ancient time).
US Democracy is a slogan only but not in practice. By merging the political system with Christianity, US Government no longer has to deliver anything of substance and tangible to Americans. US has became a totalitarian Government controlled by two warring factions, the Republican and the Democrats. Americans go to the polls every two years as a ceremonial event to elect new government representatives who pledge loyalty to the same totalitarian government controlled by the 1% elites, Fortune 500 Companies and Military Industrial Complex (No company, individual or military industrial complex are allowed to interfere with China Government policies improving livelihood of her citizens in the areas of food, shelters, medicines, education and retirements).
American Citizens received limited news information from outside US as most limit the access such as those from China and Russia. But at the same time, CIA and Military Intelligence force feed information to major news media such as New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Fox News, Wall Street Journal and etc, they will treated it as investigating reporting becoming the mouthpiece of US Government (China Government does manage news information against fake information, while US claimed freedom of press and information but in fact restricting it).
US Human Rights Record such as “Black Lives Matter”, “Asians are Virus” and etc are only the latest how US treating People of Color in the US. US Human Rights Record is far worst around the world especially in the middle East, Afghanistan, Africa and South America. But US Government mouthpiece media will not report it. Even when a Washington Post Journalist murdered inside a US friendly country’s consulate, a US$10 billion arms sales was the end of the story (US weaponized Human Rights but in fact one of the worst violators in human history).
While US made a big deal about the alleged election interference by Russia, US is doing it to practically every election around the world in the name of fake democracy, freedom, human rights and rules of laws to installed US friendly puppet Governments. NED (National Endowment for Democracy) has replaced CIA to engage in subversive regime change activities also known as Color Revolution such as 1989 in China, 2019 in Hong Kong, currently in Thailand and Myanmar, also in the past in Egypt and Ukraine. When NED failed to use soft power to do regime change, direct military actions (invasion) against Iraq using fake weapon of mass destruction (WMD), against Syria and Libya. (China respect nation’s rights to manage own affairs and never a condition doing business with China)
US’s hegemony disguised as World’s order when among the UN treaties unsigned or unratified by the United States, The United States government has consistently opposed an international court that could hold US military and political leaders to a uniform global standard of justice. US has no intention to join the ICC, due to its concern about possible charges against US nationals. Human Rights Watch (2009), Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance (ICPPED), the Ottawa Treaty (Mine Ban Treaty), the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT). The United States is also one of the few countries not to have ratified the Kyoto Protocol. According to a 2014 analysis by The New Republic, the ratification of a significant number of treaties signed after 1990 has been blocked by United States. The above is not the entire list. (China is party to all of the above when US fail to do so).
Professor John V Walsh, MD in San Francisco: You write “The rise of China has given Global South, ASEAN, South America and weaker nations hopes to fight against US hegemony.” Absolutely right. China provides hope for the Global South – not in providing a social system that will necessarily resemble China’s. Each nation and society must find its own way forward – or not- based on its own history, traditions, problems etc. China itself takes that position. But China provides an alternative to the West for trade etc. It is this that allows the nations of the Global South to set off on their own.
美國對中國的態度和行動反映了她自己罪惡的過去. 5000 年來的中國文化和遺產從來沒有像美國式的可怕行為。中國的崛起給了地球南方、南美洲, 東盟和弱國對抗美國霸權新的希望。
美國殖民過去擺脫英國，後來獲得獨立，成為掠奪弱國的殖民主人（自古以來不是中國政策）。
成為被盜土地的合法所有者，美國通過大規模的人口消滅計劃對美洲原住民進行種族清洗。美國可能是第一個犯下危害人類罪的國家（不是自古以來的對華政策，美國將人權武器化，而是人類歷史上最嚴重的侵犯者之一）.
為了用廉價勞動力耕種土地，美國從非洲進口奴隸，對待他們不亞於動物（自古不是中國政策）.
像羅馬帝國這樣的美國採用基督教作為政治體系的一部分，也被稱為現代西方民主（中國自古以來就沒有用宗教來洗腦）.
美國民主只是一個口號，而不是實踐。通過將政治體係與基督教合併，美國政府不再需要向美國人提供任何實質性和有形的東西。美國已經成為一個由共和黨和民主黨兩派交戰控制的極權政府。美國人每兩年參加一次選舉，作為選舉新政府代表的儀式，美國極權政府效忠於由 1% 精英、財富500 強公司和軍工聯合體（中國不允許公司、個人或軍工聯合體干涉中國政府改善其公民在食物、住所、藥品、教育和退休方面的生活的政策）.
美國公民從美國以外收到的新聞信息有限，因為大多數美國政府限制例如來自中國和俄羅斯的信息。但與此同時，中央情報局和軍事情報部門向紐約時報、華盛頓郵報、CNN、福克斯新聞、華爾街日報等主要新聞媒體提供信息，他們將其視為調查報導，成為美國政府的喉舌。 （中國政府確實對虛假信息進行新聞信息管理，而美國聲稱新聞和信息自由但實際上限制了它）.
“黑人的命也是命”、“亞洲人是病毒”等美國人權記錄只是美國對待美國有色人種的最新方式。美國的人權記錄在世界範圍內是最差的，尤其是在中東、阿富汗、非洲和南美洲。但美國政府喉舌媒體不會報導。即使華盛頓郵報的一名記者在美國友好國家的領事館內被謀殺，100 億美元的軍售也是故事的結局（美國將人權武器化，但實際上是人類歷史上最嚴重的侵犯者之一）
雖然美國對俄羅斯所謂的選舉干預大肆宣傳，但美國卻以虛假民主、自由、人權和法律規則的名義，對世界各地的幾乎每一次選舉都這樣做，以安裝美國友好的傀儡政府。 NED（美國民主基金會）已經取代中央情報局從事顛覆性的政權更迭活動，也稱為顏色革命，例如1989年在中國，2019年在香港，目前在泰國和緬甸，以及過去在埃及和烏克蘭。當美國民主基金會未能使用軟實力進行政權更迭時，就像使用虛假的大規模殺傷性武器 (WMD) 入侵伊拉克、還對敘利亞和利比亞進行直接軍事行動（入侵）（中國尊重國家管理自己事務的權利，絕不是與中國做生意的條件）.
在美國未簽署或未批准的聯合國條約中，美國偽裝成世界秩序的霸權 美國政府一貫反對設立一個國際法庭，該法庭可以讓美國軍事和政治領導人遵守全球統一的司法標準。由於擔心可能對美國國民提出指控，美國無意加入國際刑事法院。人權觀察（2009 年）、《消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約》（CEDAW）、《兒童權利公約》（CRC）、《保護所有人免遭強迫失踪國際公約》（ICPPED），渥太華條約（禁雷條約）、集束彈藥公約（CCM）、殘疾人權利公約和禁止酷刑公約任擇議定書（OPCAT）。美國也是少數未批准《京都議定書》的國家之一。根據新共和國 2014 年的分析，美國阻止批准 1990 年之後簽署的大量條約。以上並非全部清單。 （當美國拒絕並害怕加入，中國是上述所有的成員）.
舊金山醫學博士 John V Walsh 教授：你寫道：“中國的崛起讓全球南方、東盟、南美和弱國希望對抗美國霸權。” 絕對正確。 中國為全球南方提供了希望——而不是提供一個必然類似於中國的社會制度。 每個國家和社會都必鬚根據自己的歷史、傳統、問題等找到自己的前進道路——或者不——中國自己採取了這一立場。 但中國在貿易等方面為西方提供了另一種選擇。正是這一點讓全球南方的國家能夠自己出發。
‘External forces’ behind Solomon Islands unrest, as PM firmly defends developing ties with China. by GT staff reporters Nov 26 2021
This handout image taken and received on November 25, 2021 from ZFM Radio shows parts of the Chinatown district on fire in Honiara on Solomon Islands, as rioters torched buildings in the capital in a second day of anti-government protests.
China is closely following the developments in the Solomon Islands and condemns the violence, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on Friday, noting that China is confident that the Solomon Islands’ government is capable of stabilizing the internal situation.
Riots in the Solomon Islands continued on Friday, and has affected Chinatown in the country. Chinese nationals there have suffered great loss with their shops smashed, burned and looted.
Zhao said there have been no reports of Chinese casualties so far. When asked whether China is considering sending troops and police to the Solomon Islands as Australia did, Zhao said he hasn’t heard of any request of this nature from the Solomon Islands government, and that he hopes relevant sides will respect the sovereignty of Solomon Islands.
The Secretary of the Solomon Islands Chinese Association, surnamed Tan, told the Global Times that although robbery and burning occurred everywhere, with Chinatown being severely damaged, people were safe so far.
Yu Lei, chair professor at the Center for Pacific Island Countries Studies of Liaocheng University, told the Global Times on Friday that some politicians in the country’s Malaita island demanded that Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare step down, and even the Australian media have to admit that it was geopolitical competition among major powers.
Many protesters reportedly came from the country’s most populous island Malaita. The discontent between Malaita and the Solomon Islands government has existed for a long time due to the unequal distribution of resources, and some Malaita politicians were against the government.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the Solomon Islands and China after the former cut ties with the island of Taiwan, the US has greatly increased its economic assistance to Malaita, up to five times the amount of assistance to the Solomon Islands government, Yu noted.
The purpose of US’ substantial assistance to Malaita island is self-evident: using the internal political conflicts of Solomon Islands to pressure the country to “recover ties” with Taiwan island and drive Chinese mainland political and economic power out of the country, Yu said.
Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare told ABC from Honiara that he stood by the decision to terminate diplomatic relations with Taiwan island, despite fierce and sustained criticism. “That decision is a correct decision, it is legal, it puts Solomon Islands on the right side of history, and is in line with international law,” he said.
The establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the Solomon Islands is the right choice, which conforms to the trend of the times and will also stand the test of history, Zhao said, noting that bilateral exchanges have yielded achievements and any attempt to disrupt it is futile.

Native Americans: Thanksgivings! You got to be kidding. It is a day for mourning remembering how the land was stolen and US’s Native Americans population reduction (ethnic cleansing) program through crimes against humanity.
by K.J. Noh / November 28th, 2015
Millions of people over the US will be gathering on Thanksgiving to share a meal together and to give thanks for the people and the blessings in their lives. As you gather, it’s important to think about the meaning of this celebration, and to challenge the received myths about this problematic holiday.
While some form of harvest celebration is found in most cultures, the historical circumstances of Thanksgiving in the US are deeply intertwined with the oppression and genocide of the indigenous peoples by the settlers.
The anthropologist Levi-Strauss suggests that myth is an attempt to create an imaginary resolution of a real, intolerable contraction. What this means in this context is that the foundational myth of the United States around Thanksgiving (with its notions of sharing, generosity, mutual aid, cooperation with indigenous peoples) attempts to paper over the origins of a violent colonial settler state based on its very opposite (greed, plunder, dispossession, atrocity, war, and genocide).
A myth in this sense functions like a (collective) dream: it allows the expression of the stresses, strains, tensions, and contradictions in our lives, while masking them through distortion, displacement, compression, condensation, and inversion.
Here are the facts: there was indeed some sort of meeting between the Pilgrims of the Plymouth Plantation and the Indigenous Wampanoag/Pokanoket in 1621. It may have involved food. It was most likely a political negotiation of a treaty of cession. It was not a thanksgiving in any sense of the term, as a religious ceremony of Thanksgiving would not have involved “barbarous heathen”.
In 1637, there was indeed a “Thanksgiving celebration”. This was actually the celebration of the massacre of the Pequot original people. In a story that loops back endlessly from Afghanistan, to My Lai, to Jeju Island, to the first settlements, an armed party of colonists was sent to the Pequot to demand the heads of the “murderers” of an English slaver. When the Pequot refused, war broke out, and the Pequot were massacred. On the Mystic River, the colonizer soldiers from “the shining city on a hill”, set aflame a Pequot village that was celebrating a corn ceremony, burning to death over four hundred villagers.
The commander of the troops, John Mason, described the massacre thus:
Such a dreadful terror let the Almighty fall upon their spirits that they would flee from us and run into the very flames. Thus did the Lord judge the heathen, filling the place with dead bodies.
William Bradford, the Governor of Plymouth, wrote:
Those that escaped the fire were slain with the sword; some hewed to pieces, others run through with their rapiers, so that they were quickly dispatched and very few escaped. It was conceived they thus destroyed about 400 at this time. It was a fearful sight to see them thus frying in the fire…horrible was the stink and scent thereof, but the victory seemed a sweet sacrifice, and they gave the prayers thereof to God, who had wrought so wonderfully for them.
Survivors were tracked down and killed or sold into slavery:
The surviving Pequots were hunted but could make little haste because of their children….They were literally-run to ground…tramped into the mud and buried in the swamp. The last of them were shipped to the West Indies as slaves.
The following day, Massachusetts Bay Governor, John Winthrop declared a day of Thanksgiving, signing into law, “This day forth shall be a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots.”
The conflation of these two events, a treaty negotiation, and the celebration of a massacre is the “compression” or “condensation” that gives us our modern Thanksgiving. There is also a “displacement“ of attention from the event to an insignificant aspect of the meeting, the food, and the representation of atrocity by its opposite. There may have been later conflation with later Jamestown events and practices, as well as the confounding of Pilgrims and Puritans. To flesh out this oneiric rebus are added the traditional foods symbolizing theft, murder, and extermination.
Louis Althusser refers to this collective defense mechanism as “ideology” (a representation of the imaginary relationship of individuals to their real conditions of existence). One way ideology manifests is as a series of narratives and myths that maintain our worldview, that entrain us, entrance us, and “interpellate” us into the values of the dominant system, reflecting to us an image of ourselves that is acceptable, integral, and whole, while keeping us anaesthetized or asleep as to what is really happening, from noticing what is unacceptable, intolerable, unbearable, or unjust.
A critical consciousness entails a willingness to deconstruct the workings of power both in its political and cultural dimensions. This entails efforts to “demechanize”, dishabituate ourselves from the narcotic entrancement, bewitchment, mystification of ideology.
So it’s possible to hold gratitude (for friends, family, relationships; the multitude of material or intangible blessings in our lives) and still be aware of the injustice, violence, devastation caused by the depredations of empire.
We can acknowledge the richness of our lives, and be aware of the sufferings of those who have been impoverished by the plunder, pillage, theft, exploitation, and slavery of capitalism.
Every bite of our meal comes at the cost of someone’s sweat and blood; our surplus comfort or wealth comes at the grinding cost of someone’s exploitation and the ravaging of the environment; the ground on which we step is the product of theft and dispossession; the very time to appreciate our blessings is a sweetness wrung out of the embittered, diminished lives of others.
In our meals as in our lives, we can taste the bitter and savor the sweet: the bitter pill of historical truth, the sweetness of our human ideals; the sorrow of our losses, privations, sufferings, the solace of our connectedness and humanity; the awareness that truth, and justice and gratitude are not incompatible. We can embrace complexity, hold contradiction, see the totality in its numinous beauty and heart-breaking despair: the better to act with tenderness, compassion and courage, the better to leaven suffering without turning away; the better to seek out, nourish the small but sturdy roots of justice growing among the strewn graves and battlefields of empire, domination, chaos, capital.
Give thanks for what you love, treasure those you love, but above all, give your thanks and blessings to those who suffer, struggle, and fight so that some of us have the abundance to count our blessings. And after you have given thanks, remember your duty to resist, struggle, accompany, and fight, so that you can continue to have something to be thankful for. K.J.
