Effective February 2022, any Hong Kong ID card holders age 60 and over can ride any public transportation at US$.26 or 26 cents per ride. This enhanced benefit was available only for age 65 and above before. In San Francisco for people age 65 and over, a ride from East Bay to San Francisco will cost $2.60 which is 10x of HK. We are comparing cost only. When you are also comparing safety and quality. We are talking about comparing HK’s 1st world verses US’s 3rd world infrastructure. That is why even American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong representing 1,400 US firms debunk US Government’s fake news propaganda against HK. 從2022 年 2 月起，任何 60 歲及以上的香港身份證持有人都可以乘坐任何公共交通工具，每次乘坐費用為 0.26 美元或 26 美分。 這種增強的福利以前僅適用於 65 歲及以上。 在舊金山，對於 65 歲及以上的人來說，從東灣到舊金山的車程為 2.60 美元，是香港的 10 倍。 我們只是比較成本。 當您還比較安全和質量時。 我們正在談論將香港的第一世界與美國的第三世界基礎設施進行比較。 這就是為什麼連代表1400家美國公司的香港美國商會都揭穿了美國政府對香港的假新聞宣傳.
US in the name of fake freedom democracy and human rights and rules of law. South China Morning Post: A foreign policy built on shamelessness and hypocrisy. As US lectures other countries on human rights and press freedom, its military has been busy killing foreign civilians and its prosecutors are going after journalists, whistleblowers and ethnic Chinese researchers. 美國以虛假的自由民主、人權和法治的名義。 南華早報：建立在無恥和虛偽之上的外交政策。 在美國就人權和新聞自由向其他國家發表演講時，其軍方一直忙於殺害外國平民，其檢察官正在追捕記者、告密者和華裔研究人員.

While US Secretary of State Antony Blinken flies around the world criticising other countries’ violations of human rights, his government has been busy persecuting journalists and whistle-blowers for exposing atrocities committed by the American military.
As his department questions the use of Hong Kong’s national security law to convict Leon Tong Ying-kit, 24, for incitement and terrorism, the US Justice Department has been scapegoating ethnic Chinese scientists and engineers, and Chinese students, for industrial espionage and intellectual property theft. The department’s “China Initiative” has more than a whiff of 1950s McCarthyism, except this time, it’s not just anti-communist but also racially driven.
Under the initiative, launched in 2018, FBI director Christopher Wray told Fox News last year that there were more than 2,000 active investigations.
Rory Truex, an assistant professor at Princeton University, has looked into the China Initiative. In an updated paper, “Addressing the China Challenge for American Universities”, he concludes: “After 20 months of ongoing investigations in 2019 and 2020, the ‘China Initiative’ – a Department of Justice (DOJ) effort – had brought formal charges at only 10 US universities or research institutions, and only three cases involved any evidence of espionage, theft, or transfer of intellectual property.
“Given that there are about 107,000 Chinese citizens in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at US universities at the graduate level or above, current DOJ charges imply a criminality rate in this population of 0.0000934, less than 1/10,000.”
Typically, after failing to charge those targeted with spying and IP theft, investigators save face by going after some with wire fraud and/or making false statements, as with the case of Hu Anming, a former University of Tennessee tenured engineering professor.
Another fellow whistle-blower who has the unlikely name of Reality Winner, was recently released from a five-year sentence for leaking a secret report about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US election.
Given such records, as America’s top diplomat, you have to commend Blinken for always keeping a straight face.
Meanwhile, drone warfare whistle-blower Daniel Hale has been jailed for 45 months. His crimes? He leaked classified documents that exposed the US drone killings of more than 200 people, only 35 of them were the intended targets, between January 2012 and February 2013, in Afghanistan. In one five-month period, one document shows, nearly 90 per cent of the people killed were not the intended targets. However, the civilian dead were labelled as “enemies killed in action”.

Short Sweet and to the point – Prof Wolff explains how the U.S. political decision to ratchet up nationalist and anti-communist sentiments against China is dangerous for both country’s economies and more. Can we learn from historical examples about the dangers of initiating conflict and the benefits of keeping a positive trade relationship? https://vimeo.com/581785775 https://youtu.be/8tVHIdHmC-c https://www.facebook.com/100036400039778/posts/539594417263888/?d=n “It is my hope that we do not let petty political calculations of scapegoat artists like Mr. Trump, and like Mr. Biden sometimes threatens to become, undo a cooperative mechanism.” – Richard D Wolff
This is a clip from the lecture “The Challenge of China [July 2021].” In the full lecture, Prof Wolff discusses the following topics:
China’s Economic Growth since its Revolution (1949)
Richard David Wolff is an American Marxian economist, known for his work on economic methodology and class analysis. He is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School in New York.
The new work of “The Wolf Warriors” satirizes China on the source of the epidemic. China and the United States have recently confronted on multiple international occasions on the investigation of the source of the COVID19. The famous mainland illustrator Wuhe Qilin, known as the “Wolf Warrior Painter,” recently published a new work, accusing the United States of blaming China for the source of the epidemic.
Wuhe Qilin’s new work is titled “The Transformation of Gods” (see picture), and the painting is accompanied by English: “I grant you a new corona.” The protagonist of the painting is a giant with the head of the earth. He was tied to a laboratory chair, his arms were tied, and the tied gold straps had U.S. dollars, U.S. fighter jets, chips, and Twitter symbols. Netizens believe that the author pointed out that the earth has been constrained by the financial, military, technological, and public opinion hegemony of the United States
烏合麒麟新作名為《神明改造》（見圖），畫上則配有英文：「I grant you a new corona （我為你加冕新冠）。」畫的主角是一個頭部為地球的巨人，他被綁在實驗椅上，手臂受到束縛，束縛的金色帶子上有美元、美國戰機、晶片和推特（Twitter）符號。網友解讀認為作者指地球已受到美國的金融、軍事、科技和輿論霸權約束。
On the left side of the painting, a man wearing the crown of the American Statue of Liberty is holding a syringe, directing others to inject poison into the giants of the earth, implying that the United States has personally spread the new crown epidemic. At the feet of the giant were two officers with armbands from the Fort Detrick Biolab in the United States. The heads of the two were taken away and soaked in formalin. They were suspected to be Shiro Ishii, the commander of the 731 Forces in Japan. And Goebbels, Minister of Education of Nazi Germany. Goebbels famously said: “Repeat a lie a thousand times is the truth.” In the painting, he is handwriting the word “China” on the X-ray of the giant’s lungs, implying that the United States has blamed the source of the new crown on China.
Video: Meet Eileen Gu, a 17-year-old beauty born and raised in California gave up her US Citizenship for Chinese Citizenship who could be China’s next Olympic star. 認識一下在加利福尼亞出生和長大的 17 歲美女谷愛凌, 她放棄了美國公民身份，成為中國公民，她可能成為中國的下一位奧運明星.
As Asian, she recognized her future is with China and not the United States when People of Color especially Chinese treated as 2nd Class Citizens since US passing the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Acts. 作為亞洲人，自從美國通過 1882 年排華法案以來，當有色人種，尤其是中國人被視為二等公民時，她意識到自己的未來是在中國而不是美國.
Gu Ailing, or Eileen Gu, born to an American father and a Chinese mother, first made headlines in China when she became the first naturalized Chinese freestyler skier in 2019 but was already a sensation when she first competed in the US at the age of 9. SMG talks exclusively with her about her link to China, her dream as a skier and her sporting career.
In January 2021, Gu managed to win two gold medals and one bronze at the X-Games in Aspen, USA, making her the very first X-Games rookie to win medals in all the categories she competed in.
With the helmet off, however, Gu becomes the talkative, easy-going girl that she is, speaking perfect Chinese with a distinct Beijing accent. Born in LA, Gu first learnt Chinese not in the classroom, but playing with local Beijing kids, when she returned to her mother’s hometown at the age of two or three, as she recalls. It took her only two week to memorize all the tongue-twister involved in the games and soon she was mixing freely with local children.
Having grown up in the US, Gu has been China each summer since then. She says she’s particularly fond of shengjianbao (pan-fried steamed buns) and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), two local specialties from the region around Shanghai. Born to American and Chinese parents, Gu says having an understanding of both cultures helps her learn new things and keep an open mind.
Gu’s love for skiing started when she first tried the sport at the age of three, when travelling to a skiing resort with her mother. By the age of 9, she took part in her first competition as a member of Lake Tahoe skiing team, which was based at the closest skiing spot to her home.
Since then, she’s been winning, at almost all levels: from all-US competitions, to Freestyle Ski World Cup and Winter Youth Olympics, and most recently, X-Games. Having obtained Chinese nationality in 2019, Gu now aims at representing China at Beijing 2022.
This is one of Gu’s two main dreams at the moment, the other being getting into Stanford, her mother’s alma mater, which she accomplished in late 2020. She says she was able to find a balance between her sporting career and studies by dividing her time and energy, and most importantly, always concentrating 100% at what she is doing at the moment.
Beijing 2022 is scheduled to be held from Feb 4th to 20th, 2022. Some ice and snow events will be played at the nearby city of Zhangjiakou. Beijing is set to be the first city to have hosted both Summer and Winter Olympic Games.
China’s tech support for building Xiaokang society in all respects by Yu Tianjiao Jul 27 2021 Big leaps in China’s technology strength and innovative capabilities are the foundations to accomplish a moderately prosperous society, or xiaokang, China’s Minister of Science and Technology said on Tue.
China’s gold moments in Tokyo by Xu Zihe Jul 30 2021 From winning the first gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics to bagging both gold and silver in table tennis, Chinese athletes have delivered a “golden” week at the Olympics. Here are their championship moments.
Her parents, one from Hong Kong and one from Ireland. Ireland tried so hard to asked her to represent Ireland. She is smart to represent 🇨🇳 Hong Kong China. Why? Ireland is a declining power with small population. China is a rising power with 1.5 billion Chinese worldwide. 她的父母，一位來自香港，一位來自愛爾蘭。 愛爾蘭非常努力地請她代表愛爾蘭。 但她很聰明選擇代表🇨🇳中國香港。 為什麼？ 愛爾蘭是一個人口稀少的衰落少國。 中國是一個正在崛起的大國，全球擁有 15 億華人。
Olympic is no longer pure sports. It has huge commercial values. A Gold medal could translate into millions of future incomes through products endorsements or becoming a star. An Asian face in the AngloSaxon World not appealing as we already found out from Hollywood and little value in product endorsements. 奧運不再是純粹的體育項目。 它具有巨大的商業價值。 一枚金牌可以通過產品代言或成為明星來轉化為數百萬的未來收入。 西人(盎格魯撒克遜)世界中的亞洲面孔並不吸引人，正如我們在好萊塢發現的那樣，產品代言價值不大.
For an Asian female Gold Medalist in the AngloSaxon world has 2 options, married a rich AngloSaxon husband or moved to Asia. 對於西人(盎格魯撒克遜)世界的亞洲女性金牌得主來說，有兩種選擇，嫁給富有的西人(盎格魯撒克遜)丈夫或移居亞洲。
What about an AngloSaxon female Olympic Gold Medalist who can also speak Mandarin? Her future income could increase substantially from 10s of millions to 100s of millions. The main reason is the China and Asian markets. 一位會說普通話的西人(盎格魯撒克遜)女奧運金牌得主怎麼樣？ 她未來的收入可能會從數千萬增加到億萬。 主要原因是中國和亞洲市場。
So far she got 1 Gold and 2 Silvers at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic. 到目前為止，她在 2021 年東京奧運會上獲得了 1 枚金牌和 2 枚銀牌.
