Huawei’s Ren Zhengfei emphasizes innovation, basic sciences after one-year chip ban by Global Times Sep 14 2021
The details of a conversation between Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and CEO, and members of the company’s research team was released on Tuesday. During the meeting Ren stressed the company’s firm ambition of continuing to grow its HiSilicon branch and chip unit despite the current US economic crackdown. He also called for more theoretical innovations through the global platform.
The talk was released one year after the US government blocked “the last way out” for Huawei to get access to key supplies of semiconductor, dealing a heavy blow to the firm’s chip designing and consumer businesses.
Ren said that without the years invested in science and research and its deep cooperation with global scientists, Huawei may have no way to get out of the difficulties it faces caused by the blockade from the US.
“We need more theoretical breakthroughs, especially in the fields of compound semiconductors and materials science. Japan and the US are basically leading the way. We must use the global platform to create our own success,” Ren said.
“Huawei will also allow HiSilicon to continue ‘climbing the Himalayas’. This is the company’s mechanism. Only with such a mechanism can we have the confidence to win,” Ren said, indicating that the company will encourage research work as usual.
Ren further said that in the past two years, when the firm was under pressure by the US, its human resources policy never changed, with salaries and bonuses as normal. Employees are more united internally and the company has attracted more talents to join its team.
Regarding the development standards for 6G, Ren said that “when we ‘pierce through the sky’ and lead the world, we should not be constrained by standards. Dare to go our own way, dare to create de facto standards and let others connect with us.”
Ren said Huawei is working on the development of 6G patents, adding that the firm will not wait until to be constrained by others because it has no patents.

Video: Deep look into U.S.’ coronavirus lab in North Carolina 深入了解美國’ 北卡羅來納州冠狀病毒實驗室Recently, a professor named Ralph S. Baric from the University of North Carolina attracted widespread attention for working on coronavirus-related researches for a long time. In a letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Ambassador Chen Xu, permanent representative of China to the UN Office at Geneva, stated that the laboratories in urgent need of a “transparent investigation” were at the University of North Carolina and Fort Detrick. Baric’s name has been mentioned frequently in press releases by China’s Foreign Ministry. https://vimeo.com/604688584 https://youtu.be/KM_KsFSCXwM https://www.facebook.com/100036400039778/posts/566297631260233/?d=n
The GOP disinformation campaign against “voters fraud” is a copy of the one against China. Now the US is tasting the effect of such a campaign. United States – the entire country is rules by fake news, lies & fantasies and one ring to rule them all: How Steve Bannon’s daily podcast is running the entire GOP agenda 共和黨反對“選民欺詐”的虛假宣傳運動是妖魔化中國運動的翻版。 現在，美國正在品嚐這樣一場運動的效果。 美國 – 整個國家都被假新聞統治，生活在謊言和幻想中，用欺詐和假訊息來統治它們：班農的每日播客如何運行控制整個共和黨議程.

On Wednesday evening Rachel Maddow made an excellent point: While Democrats and the Biden administration focus on the mundane aspects of trying to do what’s best for the American people—passing infrastructure legislation, preserving and protecting the right to vote against GOP measures to suppress it, combating the causes and effects of climate change, and trying to ensure that women retain autonomy over their own bodies, for example—for Republicans, even addressing or staking out a position on these issues has become, at most, a peripheral concern.
You would expect a party that professes some legitimate relationship to the American people to at least set forth its policy views on these matters. But, as Maddow noted on Wednesday, that is not what Republicans are talking about. In reality, the Republicans have only one focus now: the negation of fair and lawful elections that don’t go their way. That has been the crux of their entire collective effort since Trump lost the election last November. It is the focus in California, where the racist Fox News crackpot Larry Elder apparently received unpleasant news from his internal polling and is now playing the “fraud” card, in the apparent expectation that he will lose that state’s recall election against Gavin Newsom. It is happening in Nevada, where Trump-endorsed candidate Adam Laxalt has preemptively suggested that if he fails to unseat Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in 2022, it will only be due to some unspecified “fraud.”
The “stolen election/voter fraud” theme is now the official GOP talking point. As Maddow observed, Republicans everywhere are now using it and will continue to use it in 2022 and beyond. The tactic is being chiefly promoted and driven by Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, and reinforced through his daily podcasts, which, like NBC News, ProPublica and others have pointed out, are now virtually required listening for most Republican officials, whether elected or intent on being elected. This is where their marching orders are coming from.
While Bannon’s podcasts touch obliquely on current events (the latest fixation of their contrived outrage is Afghanistan, for example), the overwhelming emphasis is on conjuring up and amplifying the phony threat of “election fraud,” urging on the nationwide bogus, partisan audits and investigations, and providing preordained conclusions to those investigations. As Pro Publica reported in their analysis of Bannon’s efforts, this nationalization of Trump’s Big Lie has been extraordinarily successful up to this point, prompting a massive surge in local election precinct membership among Trump’s most delusional, violent, and white nationalist base of support:
The new movement is built entirely around Trump’s insistence that the electoral system failed in 2020 and that Republicans can’t let it happen again. The result is a nationwide groundswell of party activists whose central goal is not merely to win elections but to reshape their machinery.
Bannon’s podcast is a disinformation megaphone the likes of which Josef Goebbels could have only dreamed of, and it is incredibly corrosive to this country’s democratic institutions. It is the cynical product of a man who has exercised (or attempted to exercise) an insidious influence not only on far-right, proto-fascist movements and political parties in Europe but now apparently in Brazil as well, on behalf of would-be dictator Jair Bolsonaro. And the fact that the entire GOP is currently operating in lockstep with—and at the bidding of—such a person tells you everything you need to know about how the 2022 election will be framed: Every contest in which a Republican loses will now be susceptible to an ongoing, malicious attack on that election’s integrity, bar none.
And Democrats have every reason to be appalled by this Bannon takeover of the Republican party. (In reality, all Americans should be appalled, but as the listless reaction by the GOP faithful to the terrorist assault of Jan. 6 showed, we cannot expect any fealty to democracy from the vast majority of Republicans.) But there is a silver lining to this seditious perfidy by Bannon and others: it serves to make all forthcoming elections a referendum on Donald Trump, to the exclusion of all else.
Bannon himself has created this effect by tying his entire effort to the 2020 election. (In his podcasts, rather than refer to it directly, he calls it “3 November,” as if the bare mention of the date has a mobilizing resonance similar to Jan. 6 or Sept. 11.) All of the invented, phony, and racially tinged rhetoric about voter fraud hawked in his podcasts stem from the given assumption that Trump was wrongfully denied reelection. And Trump himself has been more than eager to support it, as he showed this week by injecting his assessment of the California recall election as tainted, even before any votes were tallied. Trump’s anointed candidates, such as Laxalt and the countless others who will follow him, have all irrevocably signed onto this playbook. That is their sole roadmap.
So be it. Just a few weeks ago, plenty of political prognosticators were gleefully downplaying Democrats’ chances in California (and, by implication, the 2022 midterms), touting the fact that Trump was no longer on the ballot. Republicans, by leaping onto the Bannon bandwagon, have now made it essential that he be implicitly on the ballot, even as they resolve to delegitimize any Democratic wins as the product of fraud. Seen in this perspective, every election from this point forward is a referendum on Trump and Trump-ism. Fascist-admirers like Bannon believe that this is a winning strategy, but to an electorate that has already rendered a decidedly negative verdict on Joe Biden’s predecessor—a judgment which was amply reinforced by the horrific attacks by Trump supporters on Jan. 6—he may have inadvertently provided the single strongest motivation for Democrats to vote.
When Georgia held its special election on Jan. 5, pitting Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff against two GOP incumbents, it was in the wake of weeks of rhetoric from Trump attempting to delegitimize the electoral process. At that time, Trump’s mob of white supremacist terrorists had yet to demonstrate their violent and utter contempt for our institutions by assaulting the Capitol. Many political observers concluded that Trump’s efforts sabotaged the GOP’s chances by depressing and demotivating the vote. But the converse effect, the concerted mobilization of the Black vote by Stacey Abrams and others, was perhaps less remarked upon. Far from having its desired effect, the tactic of falsely crying voter fraud hurt GOP turnout.
The entire underlying premise of Bannon’s podcast is the illegitimacy of the Democratic voter. But as the elections of Sens. Warnock and Ossoff showed, people react very negatively to attempts to delegitimize them. For many, it simply increases their resolve to vote. While every district is certainly different, if Republicans expect the tactic to work as a national strategy, they have to resign themselves to the fact that the election thereby becomes all about Trump, everything that Trump did in office and has done in the wake of his defeat. Gov. Terry McAuliffe, for example, is doing just that in Virginia right now.
Trump is the most polarizing figure in American politics, and by and large, all Democrats viscerally despise him. By overtly basing their entire strategy on the petulant lies of a failed president, Republicans who choose to follow down the primrose path Bannon has laid for them may well be giving the Democrats a midterm opportunity of a lifetime.
Democrats should embrace that opportunity: make every election a referendum on Donald Trump, tying every Republican to his attempts to overturn the election. And pull out all the stops to get our voters to the polls.

US never ending war machines – The United States’ recent failures in war and fighting racism should serve as a warning to its allies. As the US messily closes its 20-year war in Afghanistan, it has quickly pivoted and attempted to rally international support around its anti-China campaign. Its allies should be wary. September 11, 2021 by Charles Xu
On May 26, 2021, President Joe Biden ordered US intelligence agencies to produce “analysis of the origins of COVID-19” within 90 days. This move followed weeks of speculation surrounding the claim that the virus had escaped from a Chinese laboratory, usually identified as the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Having rightly rejected this claim for more than a year as a Trumpian conspiracy theory, centrist and liberal commentators in the West have breathed new life into the “lab leak” hypothesis, taking cues from allegations and claims made by US state leaders and corporate media. Meanwhile, Facebook and other social media giants reversed their censorship of lab-leak disinformation almost overnight, impelled by a tawdry mix of insinuations from unnamed US intelligence sources and vague allegations of impropriety relating to the World Health Organization’s investigation into the origins of the pandemic earlier this year.
Right on schedule, the nation’s finest intelligence analysts delivered their report to the White House on August 24 and released an unclassified summary three days later. The once hotly anticipated story landed like a damp squib and was buried by the regular news cycle in less than a day. In part, this was due to the inconclusive nature of the findings: four intelligence community (IC) elements and the National Intelligence Council assessed “with low confidence” that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from “natural exposure,” another IC element leaned “with moderate confidence” toward lab leak, and three others did not commit either way, though they naturally all agreed that “Beijing… continues to hinder the global investigation, resist sharing information and blame other countries, including the United States.” But what really doomed the report to oblivion was a signal failure of US intelligence—and the entire imperial apparatus—on a far grander scale: the utter rout of the United States’ puppet regime in Afghanistan by the Taliban, who in 10 days captured every provincial capital (save one), including Kabul.
One underexplored throughline linking both events is Biden’s fraught though largely earnest attempts to restore the traditionally multilateral basis of the US empire, drawing a sharp distinction with his predecessor Donald Trump. While Trump dramatically withdrew the United States from the WHO at the height of a global pandemic in 2020, alleging an entirely illusory pro-China bias, one of Biden’s first acts in office was to rejoin the organization. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus duly celebrated the restoration of US funding by contradicting the WHO mission’s own assessment, as part of a joint study with China, that “introduction through a laboratory incident was considered to be an extremely unlikely pathway.”
Biden’s penchant for pursuing the new cold war through multilateral channels has continued in his engagement with the G7 and NATO. Trump famously denigrated both forums and delighted in alienating the United States’ sub-imperial vassals. Biden has, meanwhile, used these summits to great effect as ostensibly internationalist window dressing for the military encirclement of China. In June, a NATO Brussels Summit Communiqué for the first time identified “China’s stated ambitions and assertive behaviour” as “systemic challenges to the rules-based international order and to areas relevant to Alliance security.” In the months since, Britain, France, and even Germany have launched performative naval incursions into the South China Sea—almost the antipodal opposite of the alliance’s ostensible remit in the North Atlantic.
Biden and the Democrats’ response to the domestic surge in anti-Asian racism, effectively delinking it rhetorically from their imperial aggression against China, has followed a similar logic. Gone are the days of presidential bombast over the “China virus” and the “Kung Flu.” Instead, after the Atlanta spa shootings of March 16, the Democrats worked overtime to identify Trump and his loyalists as the unique locus of violent anti-Asian animus. They extended the promise of full inclusion into American society and protection from isolated acts of vigilante terror—a promise somehow underwritten by a violently racist policing system and conditioned on mawkish displays of loyalty to the imperial project. The United States’ selective incorporation of the Asian and particularly Chinese diaspora, in exchange for Asian Americans’ active collusion in the relentless demonization by the United States of their countries of origin, has ample historical precedent. That Biden signed the (predictably hyper-carceral) COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act on May 20, 2021, mere days before ordering his intelligence apparatus to fan the flames of sinophobic hate by promoting the lab-leak myth, is testament to the inestimable hypocrisy of liberal “anti-racism.”
No figure in the Biden administration so thoroughly embodies the hollowness of such politics as Kamala Harris, an infamously vindictive ex-prosecutor now feted as the first Black and Asian vice president. Coincidentally or not, she too found herself playing an awkwardly timed bit part in the hybrid war on China as her government’s imperial designs in Afghanistan hurtled to their ignoble denouement. While the humbled US military shambolically evacuated the one remaining piece of Afghan territory it controlled after a 20-year war—making sure to commit some parting war crimes for long-suffering civilians to remember it by—Harris was tasked with enlisting Singapore and Vietnam into the United States’ machinations in the South China Sea. Vietnam at least did not take the bait, instead reaffirming its historic ties to the People’s Republic of China as a fellow socialist state.
All that said, the most spectacular failure of the United States’ return to traditional alliance structures is undoubtedly the Afghanistan withdrawal itself. The irony is inescapable: Joe Biden, who staked so much on multilateralism and a clean reputational break with his predecessor, has infuriated his “coalition partners” by honoring Trump’s unilateral commitment to end 20 years of brutal military occupation. Extraordinarily, the United States has arm-twisted its Western allies into accepting the unmitigated defeat of a common imperial project, which it initiated, gravely harming its relations with its allies in the process.
Already, of course, the US and its allies are undermining the prospects for lasting peace by threatening the new Afghan government with debilitating sanctions and fearmongering about a new “Taliban-Pakistan-China” axis. This confluence of events has not gone unnoticed in China, where Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointedly urged the US to “work with the international community to provide Afghanistan with urgently-needed economic, livelihood, and humanitarian assistance” while condemning “the so-called investigation report on COVID-19 origins produced by the US intelligence community” on a call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
In the fevered imaginations of US war planners and their media sycophants, the empire’s greatest ideological, civilizational, and racial enemies of the last century—communism, Islamist jihadism, and a rising China—seem to be fusing into one. Hopefully, recent events have taught the United States’ prospective partners to think twice before following them once more unto the breach.

The New York Times Tells China to Stop Protecting Their People, & Let Covid-19 Sicken and by Nayvin Gordon gordonnayvin@yahoo.com Saturday Sep 11th, 2021 7:57 PM
Eradicating Covid-19 is possible with ZeroCovid strategy that puts people before profits – THE NEW YORK TIMES TELLS CHINA TO STOP PROTECTING THEIR PEOPLE, & LET COVID-19 SICKEN AND KILL MILLIONS
For almost two years now, Taiwan, New Zealand, and China have had a successful Zero Covid-19 national policy to eliminate Covid-19 from their populations. With this strict public health policy in place, and over nine months before the production of any vaccine, over one billion people have been kept free from the ravages of the pandemic. Occasional outbreaks, generally due to the virus entering from another country, have been snuffed out.
Rational people, who value public health and life, above all, would understand that protecting these Zero Covid-19 countries requires rapidly extending Zero Covid-19 policy to the entire world, so as to eliminate the virus from the human population. Tragically, a major newspaper in the U.S., which is one of the most Covid-19 infected countries in the world, is advocating an END to Zero Covid-19 policy, and recommends that we allow the virus to continue to spread its disease and death throughout the world’s population. The New York Times opinion/editorial title on 9/9/21 is entitled: “China Needs a New Coved Strategy”. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/07/opinion/China-covid-pandemic-delta.html
Why would a newspaper advocate ending A POLICY THAT IS WORKING? Why would the think tank the Council on Foreign Relations, for whom the author works, WANT THE PANDEMIC TO CONTINUE?
The answer is in the article. “It is time for China to change tack, as the socioeconomic and public health costs now outweigh the benefit.” This logic is consistent with Ex-President Trump who said, “The cure can’t be worse than the disease”. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-recovery.html
This is not the logic of the millions of working people who want their family and friends to stay safe and free from the virus. It is the rationale of a TINY MINORITY in big business and finance. Behind all the fancy words, the New York Times is telling us that Zero Covid-19 policy does absolutely work, BUT it’s bad for profits, so let’s destroy the policy and let Covid-19 infect the world. We must accept “living with not eradicating Covid-19”
Protecting the population is the government’s duty.
During the pandemic, trillions of dollars have gone to Wall Street, BUT it is too costly to pay workers to stay home for five weeks to stop viral transmission. The U.S. government is pouring in $120 billion dollars a month into the financial markets, BUT it is too costly to fund testing and tracing for Covid-19 across the nation. The stock market has doubled its worth and billionaires have doubled their wealth, BUT it is too costly to tax the rich to pay for a public health infrastructure and health care for all.
We must reject this dangerous, inhumane, and deadly policy. Please join us in the struggle to combat Covid-19 with a plan for worldwide Zero Covid-19. https://covidactiongroup.net/https://www.worldhealthnetwork.global/ 9/10/21 Dr. Nayvin Gordon, gordonnayvin [at] yahoo.com
For 9/13/2021 APA Justice meeting: APA Justice, Jeremy, Steve, Nisha/CAPAC, Reps Judy Chu, Grace Meng, Ted Lieu, Gisela/AAJC:
The APA Justice Newsletter Issue #82 stated: There is no clear indication whether DOC/OIG conduct an investigation of this complaints or other complaints involving Asian American employees? If so, it is unclear whether DOC/OGC covered them in the internal review.
Although the 9/3/2021 DOC Office of General Counsel’s Report on the overreach by the Investigation & Threat Management Service (ITMS) did not specify “complaints involving AA employees”, the WaPo writer Shawn Boburg https://archive.ph/K0K4B#selection-967.0-971.39 revealed that ITMS Investigator Christopher Cheung had complained about targeting of Chinese. So I think it is reasonable to infer that the DOC investigative review of ITMS did cover AA employees. (Also, Christopher Cheung should be recognized by the AAPI community for his whistleblowing. Although whistleblowing is supposedly protected, more often than not, its is actually the kiss of death for the whistleblower!)
DOC General Counsel’s Office has concluded that ITMS had conducted investigations and counterintelligence activities far beyond their legal authority. As a result of the investigation, ITMS is being disbanded. I wish to thank all of you involved for helping to end ITMS and its abuses.
Despite this victory for justice within Dept of Commerce, I urge all of you to continue to confront the McCarthyite Red Scare modus operandi that is inherent in the DOJ/Christopher Wray/FBI China Initiative.
The 9/3/2021 DOC Office of General Counsel report revealed that deposed Office of Security Director George Lee had opened investigative cases, with minimal closing of cases. This was criticized in the report. Yet, FBI Director Wray has similarly boasted about the many cases that have been and are being opened by FBI. In his 7/7/2020 presentation to the Hudson Institute, he boasted: We’ve now reached the point where the FBI is opening a new China-related counterintelligence case about every 10 hours. Of the nearly 5,000 active FBI counterintelligence cases currently underway across the country, almost half are related to China. And at this very moment, China is working to compromise American health care organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions conducting essential COVID-19 research.
The 9/10/2021 CAPAC statements regarding Anming Hu include Chair Judy Chu’s bold challenge of the China Initiative: “The trial of Dr. Anming Hu – the first case brought to trial under the flawed China Initiative – is a perfect example of why this problematic initiative must be ended.”
Chair Chu’s strong statement is consistent with the call for AAPI voices to speak out against anti-Asian hate, and not to just suffer in silence. Thank you, Chair Chu. All CAPAC members must speak out vociferously against the targeting of AAPI victims, following the example of Chair Chu.
OPPOSING THE DEMONIZATION OF CHINA
I ask all of you, especially CAPAC legislators, to up the ante. AAPI leaders must start speaking out loudly against the baseless anti-China hysteria.
As Asian Americans–as all Americans–we need to confront the validity of the hyper-exaggerated China Threat. The 2009 NDAA’s China Strategy called for a coordinated all-of-government effort to combat China’s “malign influence”.
The abuses of DOC’s ITMS and of DOJ’s China Initiative are logical consequences of the presumption of China’s malign influence contained in the 2009 NDAA China Strategy.
What is happening now is similar to what happened during the 1950’s McCarthy era: Sympathy with China is considered subversive. Presentation of favorable facts/information/opinions about China are presumptive of malign influence and subversion.
CAPAC and AAPI leaders should step up and challenge the politically popular and racist China Threat narrative that is all out of proportion to any actual threat. CAPAC and AAPI leaders must jump off, no onto, the politically expedient anti-China hysteria. Domestic anti-Asian hate is collateral damage of anti-China hate.
