Rebecca Chan: Did you know that the Nazis studied how the Americans handled the “Indian problem” and then modelled their “solution” on what the Americans did… and continue to do?

Excerpt: || In his law review article, Krieger discussed a wide array of issues regarding American Indians’ U.S. citizenship and their rights, the discriminatory treatment of Indians and Indian nations by the United States, and myriad federal Indian laws and policies. After all this research and analysis, he concluded that United States Indian law was racial law, and that the United States discriminated against and treated Indians and Indian nations differently from other American citizens based on their alleged racial differences from white Americans. (“the Indian law is exactly what its name indicates: a racial law; and there is no way out of the extra-constitutional situation …” Emphasis in original.) Krieger also concluded: “The proper nature of the tribal Indians’ status is that of a racial group placed under a special police power of the United States.” It appears certain that what Krieger learned from his intensive study of federal Indian law and the state laws that discriminated against Indians, and what he emphasized to Nazi officials, was that the United States discriminated against its Indian citizens because of their race and had always done so. Thus, he concluded that Nazi Germany should be justified in doing the same against German Jews.| https://indiancountrytoday.com/opinion/nazi-germany-and-american-indians

Excerpt: || When she was 17, Star found a way to travel to the Standing Rock protest camp with a bunch of strangers. She was on the Backwater Bridge when over 150 people contracted hypothermia from police water cannons spraying them in below-freezing temperatures. Countless injuries were sustained from police armaments, including the near losses of an eye and an arm for two young women not much older than Star (my own daughter was shot at with rubber bullets while kneeling on the ground praying).

“We gotta stick together, because there’s not very many of us,” Star says with a chuckle. “We’re supposed to stick together, and be unified. That’s why when I went to Standing Rock, it was amazing. Over 300 tribes came together just to protect water! We stood our ground. It felt really empowering. People went to Standing Rock with little or no money and just the clothes they had on their back to stand up for what’s right.” || https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/04/native-americans-stories-california

Naturally, all people in the Anglo-American sphere care about today is the “Chinese problem”.

Who is the big loser? The Meng Wanzhou case is finally settled, and many people will ask, who is the big loser? The United States failed to coerce China, let go of the hostages, and lost face in front of many allies. It must be a loser.

The hostages are on the enemy’s side, and China has thrown a rat-fighting weapon, and has endured more than two years of suffering. It cannot be said to be a winner. But the biggest loser is definitely Canada, because it lost the rule of law.

Why would you ask? First of all, we must talk about the basic legal basis for the extradition of criminals. Regardless of international law or the model provisions on the transfer of suspects enacted by the United Nations resolution in 1990, the most important conditions for successful legal extradition are two: 1. Regardless of the charges, the background of the accused, or the facts of the crime, no political factors may be involved; 2. , The crime involved must also be a serious crime of extradition to the local area.

The US sanctions on Iran are undoubtedly political actions. The accusation of others for breaching sanctions is undeniably political. The most basic prerequisites are not met, how can the extradition procedure be initiated? Equally important, as listed in Annex A of the so-called deferred prosecution agreement, it only accuses Meng Wanzhou of concealing part of the facts; but the concealment of facts alone did not cause losses, and it does not constitute a crime of fraud anywhere, including Canada and the United States. Since it is not a crime and political factors are involved, what about extradition?

Regardless of factual disputes or Meng Wanzhou’s reasons for defense, for the two points mentioned above, no country that respects the rule of law will accept extradition applications. Canada disregards internationally recognized legal principles and its own legal requirements, allowing it to be manipulated by the United States as its political tool. What else does it talk about the rule of law? How can Canada convince international investors that their judicial system will not be subject to political interference? In this battle, Canada really lost badly!

誰是大輸家？

孟晚舟一案總算塵埃落定，盤點得失，不少人都會問，誰是大輸家？美國脅迫中國不遂，放走人質，在眾多盟友前丟盡了臉，肯定是輸家。人質在敵方，中國投鼠忌器，忍氣吞聲捱了兩年多的苦，不可以說是贏家。但最大的輸家肯定是加拿大，因為輸了法治。

你會問何出此言？這首先要說到引渡罪犯的基本法律基礎。無論從國際法或一九九○年聯合國通過決議制定之移交疑犯模範條文來看，成功合法引渡最重要的條件有二：一、無論控罪、被告背景或犯罪事實均不可涉及任何政治因素；二、所涉罪行必須同時是引渡當地之嚴重罪行。

美國制裁伊朗，毋庸置疑是政治行為。指控他人破壞制裁，亦無可否認是政治行為。最基本的首要條件也不符合，怎可啓動引渡程序？同樣重要者，正如所謂延期起訴協議附件A所羅列，說的只是指控孟晚舟隱瞞部分事實；但單是隱瞞事實，沒有導致損失，在任何地方，包括加拿大和美國均不構成欺詐罪。既然不是罪行，又涉及政治因素，談什麼引渡？

姑不談事實的爭拗或孟晚舟的答辯理由，單是以上所說兩點，任何一個尊重法治的國家也不會受理引渡申請。加拿大罔顧國際公認的法律原則和本身法例要求，容許被美國操縱作其政治工具，還談什麼法治？今後加拿大如何說服國際投資者，他們的司法系統不會受政治干預？這一仗，加拿大真的輸得慘重！

Exclusive: China’s victory on Huawei Meng Wanzhou’s case to curb use of US long-arm jurisdiction: ex-Alstom exec by Chen Qingqing Oct 02 2021

China’s victory on the incident of Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou could help slow down the process during which the US uses its legal system to wage an economic war against specific companies and inspire more countries to stand up in counteracting the long-arm jurisdiction of the US, former Alstom executive Frederic Pierucci told the Global Times in an exclusive interview on Friday.

“It’s clear that the US has been using it [such tactic] for quite a long time,” Pierucci said during a video interview with the Global Times, as the country often targets companies’ strategic sectors by applying US laws onto foreign companies in order to achieve their economic goals.

The story of Pierucci has been widely described as the French version of Huawei’s recent incident. As a co-author of a book titled Le Piège Américain (The American Trap), the French businessman who used to work at the French energy and transport giant Alstom, told a story about how the US uses its long-arm jurisdiction as a weapon to strike down competitors.

Though there were some similarities between the two cases, they ended differently. Pierucci was arrested in New York in 2013 on the charges of breaching US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which eventually led to a partial acquisition of Alstom by General Electric and jail time for him; while Meng was detained in Canada at the request of the US amid the US-launched trade war against China, but she later returned home without a guilty plea.

“One huge difference is that she had the full support of Huawei and the Chinese government as they understood rapidly that this was not a legal case as usual … it was part of an economic war,” he said.

Pierucci pleaded guilty and spent two years in prison in the US after being arrested, while Alstom was fined $772 million in 2014, which forced the company to sell its assets, and the French businessman says its collapse was plotted by the US, which has been using a similar strategy against Huawei.

Meng reached a landmark deal with the US Justice Department on September 24 that allowed her to return to China, under which the senior executive of the Chinese company did not plead guilty.

Where there is a five-star red flag, there is a beacon of faith. If faith has a color, it must be China red.” -Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou said at Shenzhen airport after returning home from Canada

I think the case of Huawei is going to slow down the extraterritorial reach of US laws, as it was the first time that a country really stood up in protecting its citizens from US jails and protecting its company in such way, Pierucci said.

An economic war between the US and China now reminds him of a trade war US waged against Japan decades ago, and the former executive of Alstom said it’s important to take strong countermeasures to make the opponent “back off.”

For instance, in Europe, in 1980s, the US started to attack French companies on antitrust issues. Therefore, they put a lot of fines on French and European companies on antitrust, Pierucci noted. At that time, Europe also reacted and put a lot of fines on US companies for antitrust as well. “And then, there was an equilibrium which created itself,” he said, noting that a strong reaction is needed to prevent domestic companies from being “laminated” by the US.

Now it’s more like “playing ping-pong” between China and the US, Pierucci said, as China has come up with stronger measures over the past few years to protect its economic interest while advancing the establishment of legal framework to counteract the US long-arm jurisdiction.

China’s top legislature passed the law on export control in October 2020 and it took effect on December 1, 2020, which authorizes the Chinese government to take countermeasures against any country or region that abuses export-control measures and poses a threat to China’s national security and interests.

Some experts said the legislation could be used to break up the US long-arm jurisdiction on a growing list of Chinese companies in an increasingly brutal face-off between China and the US.

Also, top lawmakers in China voted to pass the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law in June, providing a comprehensive legal basis for blocking illegal foreign sanctions and preventing Chinese individuals and entities from suffering the damage resulting from such illegal sanctions.

While Pierucci thinks that the victory of the Chinese government on the incident of Meng will inspire more countries to fight the US long-arm jurisdiction, some countries have already started to react, for example the UK and France both implemented laws such as anti-corruption law and blocking statute law to protect their companies from extraterritorial reach of any foreign country.

Even though more countries are setting up certain kinds of laws to obstruct the US long-arm jurisdiction, the outcome depends on how those laws can be effectively applied, he said.

AngloSaxon, especially the elites usually wear mask. The purpose is very mysterious. What it shows outside is democracy, freedom, and human rights, and it is the universal value, but in reality just the opposite including crimes against humanity.

劉兆玄先生這篇評論寫得好棒，深入淺出，寓意宏遠！

面具與口罩 聯合報 ／ 劉兆玄 2021-01-19 22:55

西方人，尤其是菁英分子的西方人，通常都戴著一個面具。這個面具的用途十分奧妙，它示之於外的是民主、自由、人權，是他們所創造的普世價值和規範（Norm）；隱之於內的是霸權、剝奪他族的自由人權，甚至屠殺的黑暗歷史。其實面具後面不完全是歷史，也包括仍在進行的黑暗行為，所以這個面具絕不可摘下。戴著它，行起事來便義正辭嚴；戴著它，「雙重標準」才好使。

這種國內行民主，國際行霸權的新帝國主義，在普世價值的面具下遂能內外逢源，長期占領文明話語權的制高點。

直到川普當選了美國總統，他的「川普主義」為西方摘下了這個戴了兩百多年的面具。

川普的追隨者和反對者同時感到震驚，中下層「鄉民」們有「終於可以口心如一」的快感，菁英分子則感到「不可說的秘密」遭揭的恐慌，一時之間，不分左、右，有識之士一致用盡各種方法，想要重新戴回這個面具。

川普的橫空出世絕非因為他提出了什麼偉大主張，而在於他觸及了兩種美國白人心底最深處的恐懼。

基層的美國白人恐懼廿一世紀中葉時美國的非白人口即將超過白人，美國將不再是白人的美國。

菁英分子則恐懼在廿一世紀中葉時，中國的綜合國力將超越美國，美國將不再是世界第一強國。

巨大的顛覆力量往往來自恐懼；另一方面，民粹的政客常能利用恐懼，快速得到最大的政治凝聚力，成為新的政治領袖。

川普便是這個人。他有兩個重要的政策：一，以各種手段甚至不惜在邊境建長城以抑止移民，他要傳遞的信息是「白人優先」；二，以各種手段甚至不惜發動貿易戰對付中國，他喊出的口號是「美國第一」。在社群媒體的推波助瀾下，這兩個政策正好將前述兩種恐懼的美國人凝聚成為他的鐵粉，很多人甚至將他奉為救世主。

二○二○年川普競選連任總統失敗，但他得的票數高達七千四百多萬，是歷史第二高，要不是疫情惡化，川普極可能再次當選。川普的選票主要來自兩個族群：白人男性、未受高等教育者；以及極右派的宗教教徒加上收入優渥的非都市居民。大致而言，前者憂懼白人優勢不再，而後者憂懼美國國力不再第一。

就在總統選戰的這一年中，新冠肺炎病毒失控，這是影響選情的另一要素。許多個人自由至上的美國人堅持不戴口罩，不遵守社交距離，以致最富強之國，空有優等的公衛、醫療和醫院容量，卻陷入全球最嚴重的災情，無論是確診數或死亡人數皆居全球第一。

這群人相當大比例地與川普的支持者重疊，他們不願重戴偽善的面具，也不肯戴上有礙個人自由口罩，真做到了「不自由毋寧死」。

急著想要把面具重新戴回的菁英分子們，儘管知道不容易，但是他們起碼樂意戴上口罩；在疫情中，口罩是一種規範，這其中或許有一些潛意識的反射吧？

於是這次美國選戰中，只要看群眾戴不戴口罩便知是誰的場子了。

不戴面具也不肯戴口罩的「鄉民」們不顧疫情方興未艾，他們抱著白人優先的川普主義依然勇往直前；至於菁英的有識之士，面具一去難復返，疫情中他們猶戴口罩半遮面，疫情過後將何所去？足費思量。

PLA holds record-breaking drill with 38 warplanes, mostly fighters and bombers near Taiwan Province on National Day, ‘routine but significant’ by Liu Xuanzun and Liu Xin Oct 01 2021

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly dispatched a record-breaking number of 38 warplanes, mostly fighters and bombers, near the island of Taiwan for exercise on Friday with activities during both day and night on Friday.

The PLA exercise was a routine one despite taking place on the National Day in the mainland, but it showed the increasing combat preparedness and determination of the PLA over the island of Taiwan, Chinese mainland experts said on Saturday.

25 PLA aircraft, namely 18 J-16 fighter jets, four Su-30 fighter jets, two H-6 bombers and a Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft, entered the island of Taiwan’s self-proclaimed southwest air defense identification zone on Friday, Taiwan’s defense authorities said in a press release on the day.

Later on Friday, Taiwan’s defense authorities published a separate press release, saying that at night, 13 additional PLA aircraft, namely 10 J-16 fighter jets, two H-6 bombers and a KJ-500 early warning aircraft, entered the island of Taiwan’s self-proclaimed southwest air defense identification zone. The J-16s and the H-6s went on and circled to the southeast side of the island, before returning to the mainland, the press release show.

This means a total of 38 PLA aircraft were involved in the PLA exercise near the island of Taiwan on Friday, breaking the previous record of 28 aircraft on June 15.

The PLA is increasing the scale of exercises near the island of Taiwan, and this is normal and routine, Song Zhongping, a Chinese mainland military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Saturday.

The PLA needs more deployment to deter the armed forces on the island and foreign interference, so it is necessary that related drills become of larger scale, Song said.

Both day and night are time a battle can take place, so the PLA must be ready to fight and win even during nighttime, Song said, noting that the PLA’s capabilities in this aspect are being boosted significantly.

Friday is National Day in the mainland, and the PLA’s exercise displayed its capability in safeguarding national unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is a very practical way to celebrate the day, Song said.
