Video: Footage of Tiananmen Square Incident: Soldiers Were Heroes. That Tank Man Was Not. 天安門事件的鏡頭:士兵是英雄. 那個坦克人不是. We added a Chinese Subtitle to The original footage of the Tiananmen Square Incident. We will open a website to save videos that are not allowed to circulate on YT. All of the martyrs were in their early twenties. They had guns in their hands, bullets in the guns, but they chose not to fire at the mob because they could not separate the gangsters from the thugs. What kind of discipline was that! Is there another country in the world that has such disciplined heroes ever in history? The People’s Liberation Army soldiers in China chose death instead of protecting themselves with guns in their hands. They were the real heroes. https://vimeo.com/560434548 https://youtu.be/ySIKIpbGv6A https://www.facebook.com/100036400039778/posts/506985190524811/?d=n
Anti-foreign sanctions draft law proposed to top legislature – Strong legal support against long-arm jurisdiction of US: expert By Chen Qingqing and Li Qiaoyi Published: Jun 07, 2021
China’s anti-foreign sanctions draft law – the first of its kind – was proposed to the ongoing session of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People’s Congress (NPC) on Monday. The law is expected to provide strong legal support and guarantee for the country against the unilateral and discriminatory measures imposed by foreign countries.
It was also widely hailed by Chinese legal experts as a necessary move to strengthen the country’s legal toolkit in the face of more blatant interference and crackdowns of the US-led West against Chinese entities and individuals.
The 13th NPC Standing Committee convened its 29th session on Monday in Beijing, which is scheduled to conclude on June 10, with a proposed agenda to review a number of draft laws and deliberate draft revisions. The announcement of the anti-foreign sanctions law was also in line with the top legislature’s annual work schedule, unveiled in March, which indicated that China will enhance legislation in foreign-related fields by focusing on moves against sanctions and interference, and countering long-arm jurisdiction.
Some Western governments, out of political need and ideological prejudice, have been using Xinjiang-related topics and other excuses to spread rumors and suppress China, which particularly violates international laws and basic norms of the international relationship. They imposed so-called sanctions citing their laws on Chinese officials, and blatantly interfered in China’s internal affairs, the spokesperson of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee was quoted as saying in a report by the Xinhua News Agency.
Some NPC deputies and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference members, along with representatives from various sectors of society, came up with suggestions about a specific law to counter foreign sanctions, which has also become a major task this year, the spokesperson said.
A draft law in the agenda of the Standing Committee meeting should be generally reviewed three times before being put to a vote. However, if there’s a consensus on all aspects of the draft law, it can be reviewed twice, according to the rules and procedures of the legislative body.
The anti-foreign sanctions draft law has been now put into review for the second time, which is expected to be voted by the top lawmakers soon.
Legal experts said that speeding up legislation in foreign-related fields is necessary as it’s important to use legal measures to safeguard the legitimate rights of Chinese institutions, enterprises and citizens. Especially in recent years, the US government has been imposing sanctions on some Chinese entities such as high-tech firms Huawei and ZTE for so-called national security risks, and sanctioned a number of senior Chinese officials under the US’ so-called Xinjiang and Hong Kong bills last year.
While the EU has a regulation to protect against the effects of the extraterritorial application of legislation adopted by a third country and the US owns a large number of “legal ammunition” in terms of long-arm jurisdiction, China lacks relevant laws in response to the external legal weapons, Qi Kai, an associate professor of the Institute of Globalization and Global Issues at China University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times on Monday.
“We should learn from them in enhancing our legal tools. Whether to use those tools or not remains unknown, but they have the deterrent effect,” Qi said, noting that a certain country abusing the power of long-arm jurisdiction will do harm to the world, and formulating such a law also sends a clear warning to the US on this matter.
Besides the EU, Russia also passed a law to counter the unfriendly behavior of the US and other countries in June 2018 to protect the interests, security, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the rights of its citizens immune to the unfriendly behavior of the US. The countermeasures include an end or halt to cooperation with unfriendly countries or institutions, a ban or restrictions on trade of relevant products and raw materials with those countries.
Speeding up legal protections
In response to the increased unilateral moves of the US government, Chinese authorities have also taken corresponding countermeasures since last September. On September 19 last year, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) unveiled the provisions of China’s unreliable entity list, which has been viewed by some as a measure by Beijing to counter US crackdown on Chinese companies. The list details the rules that could lead to severe penalties against foreign entities and individuals who undermine China’s national interests and Chinese companies’ legitimate rights.
MOFCOM also issued a new order on January 9 adopting necessary countermeasures against the unjustified extraterritorial application of foreign legislation.
As MOFCOM came up with general administrative rules as legal defense against the US bullying of China, China also responded to Washington’s blatant interference in China’s internal affairs with a series of countermeasures announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over the past year – for example, by sanctioning former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other US individuals in January and hitting back at 10 EU lawmakers and individuals, as well as four entities in March in response to EU’s moves against Chinese officials over the Xinjiang issue.

When it comes to responding to foreign sanctions, our current legal tools are far from sufficient, Yang Yonghong, a law professor at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times on Monday. “No matter the adoption of necessary countermeasures against unjustified extraterritorial applications of foreign legislation or the unreliable entity list, they belong to administrative regulations, and the foreign ministry issued countermeasures targeting special personnel, which also came out from the administrative department,” she said.
The US Congress, however, approved the sanctions bills against foreign individuals and entities, empowering different departments such as the Department of the Treasury and Department of Commerce to impose detailed measures, which are much more precisely designed and well established, Yang said, noting that US Congress also explicitly authorized the executive bodies with administrative powers.
By taking the example of the US, “we should formulate relevant laws as soon as possible,” she added.
The anti-foreign sanctions legislation marks an unprecedented move to put in place a wide-reaching yet sophisticated legal firewall to protect Chinese businesses and citizens, economists said.
The draft law being deliberated, when enforced, would deter foreign governments, notably the US and the EU, from resorting to long-arm jurisdiction to unruly crack down on Chinese entities, as the proposed law epitomizes the national will to strengthen its legal weapon against foreign infringement of the rights and interests of the Chinese government and businesses, Sun Fei, economist and director of the International Economic Research Center of Jiujiang University, told the Global Times on Monday.
Foreign governments would weigh the trade-offs of defying the law before deciding on any anti-China moves, according to Sun, former director of the Chinese Enterprises Overseas Development Center.
Even if Chinese entities are hit with unjustified sanctions, the proposed law is supposed to crystallize actionable countermeasures against the foreign governments and institutions that target Chinese businesses or individuals, the economist added, expecting the legal effort to make up for losses that Chinese entities would suffer in case of foreign sanctions.
Moreover, as Sun suggested, more targeted legislative moves should be in the pipeline to get the country prepared for unexpected disputes and tensions, and render itself a true defender of multilateralism and globalization.
He cited the Australian federal government’s decision to tear up Victoria’s Belt and Road agreements with China as a wake-up call for China to broaden extraterritorial reach of its own legislation.
Such treachery would have been costly for Canberra if China’s anti-foreign sanctions legislation had come into effect, observers said.
US 1989 Color Revolution Activities attempted to Overthrow the Chinese Government, also known as 1989 Tiananmen Incidents by the Western Empires under the fake propaganda for freedom, democracy and human rights 美國在1989進行顏色革命想要推翻中華人民共和國, 又稱為1989天安門事變用假民主自由和人權作宣傳. 美國加州舊金山星島電視: 06072021時事觀察 — 余非 ：八九天安門事件12分鐘「迷你版講座」Premiered June 7 2021 余非 美國《星島中文電台》「時事觀察」節目。美國時間：2021年6月7日 星期一：八九天安門事件12分鐘「迷你版講座」 https://youtu.be/CjoXMBlN0oI https://vimeo.com/560137425 https://www.facebook.com/100036400039778/posts/506553473901316/?d=n 今天為八九天安門事件、或稱六四事件，做一場迷你濃縮版的講座。12分鐘跟兩個鐘講座的最大分別，是時事觀察未必夠時間容我開展細節，但在即食年代，好處是大家可以在12分鐘內掌握一個框架──重要的啊，框架立得好，才會懂得用各種材料。立即開講。 本集內容共分四部份。前三部份是八九天安門事件的階段性劃分。第四部份集中聚焦6月3日深夜至4日凌晨發生的事。 以下是第一部份，談命名和第一階段的情況。 1989年那件事稱為「六四事件」或「八九天安門事件」，有分別嗎？我認為別少看對一件事的命名，當中涉及話語權爭套。說白些，命名、定稱謂，涉及如何塑造印象。這個世界不是人人都有耐性和能力深究複雜的真相，於是「印象」主導了對事件的理解。我會用「八九天安門事件」而不是「六四事件」來命名，因為整件事絕對不是「只有」、「只值得談」6月3至4日這一兩日。 大家還記得八九天安門事件是由4月15日便開始的嗎？官方以6月29日為完結，足兩個半月。就算以6月4日為止，也歷時51天。一個國家，首都被堵路、有公共空間被佔領51日，5月底6月初出盡辦法也見不到學生有退意，而介入的力量卻愈來愈複雜；最令人擔心的，是已漫延至其他省份……。在這樣的情況下，踏入5月底6月初，任何一天也可能是「六四」。為何說情況愈來愈複雜呢？稍後談。總之，日後如何稱呼1989年那件事無所謂，只是你要心裏明白，整件八九天安門事件、這場動亂，由4月15日已開始。理解事件的焦點，不應「只」聚焦在6月4日一天，事件的時間長度也不是只得一天、一兩天。 事件的第一階段，是4月15日至26日。此時學生的佔領行為已發展了十二天。《人民日報》於1989年4月26日頭版刊登了文章《必須旗幟鮮明地反對動亂 》，一般稱為「 4．26社論」。「4．26社論」是必須看一次的原材料【1】。不要看摘要，要讀一次原文。閱畢，你便清楚知道社論不是只批評學生，也是指出社會動亂已在全國其他省份「開花」，例如廣及西安、長沙等；部份地方的行為不是靜態的，已出現打、砸、搶、燒的搗亂。社論沒有全面否定學生想改善社會的訴求，社論只將矛頭指向別有用心的「極少數人」。 為第一階段做小結：1989年中國領導層面對一個沒有本錢去亂的局面。 4‧26社論再「兇」、再發出警告，請注意，整個5月份仍處於跟學生、人民溝通的階段。閱讀八九天安門事件，淺層次的讀法是「只看」6月3至4日的事。比較正確的讀法，是要閱讀為何會走到6月這一步，要知道過程。因為一個國家的首都沒可能長期存在地標被佔領這種事，甚至佔領已波及國家的外交工作。以下是第二階段。 事件第二階段是刊登4•26社論後，至5月20日事件被定性為動亂及實施戒嚴。5月20日國務院總理李鵬於凌晨發表談話，將事件定性為動亂，並宣佈由當日上午10時起，北京市實施戒嚴。4•26至5月20日是第二階段。 請注意，整個5月份中國政府仍然沒有出手。第二階段的總方向，是希望通過溝通，以及找知識份子到廣場遊說學生撤離。溝通、遊說、乃至中國領導層本身對事件存在不同意見，是令整個五月份處於拉鋸狀態的原因。因為是迷你版講座，就不開展內容了。第二階段的內容相當豐富。 其間有大量新聞反映，中國領導層到不同高校和大學頻密地跟學生見面。可是天安門指揮部那批學生領袖，大概認為見了他們才算是見過學生（他們是學生代表）。於是5月18日，李鵬等主要領導人在上午，人民大會堂會見了在天安門廣場絕食的學生代表，雙方的面晤及討論向全世界直播。第二階段要看的材料，是當日對話的詳細摘要（大概7000字的版本）【2】。而新聞方面，可補讀見學生前的5月15日戈爾巴喬夫訪華。請注意，當時學生非但沒讓路令國家可以進行外交事務，還衝著有外賓、有國際媒體聚焦之下搞大遊行。而戈爾巴喬夫訪華之前一天、5月14日，據報香港學聯代表攜14萬元民運捐款上北京支援民運。沒有被報導的又帶了多少錢上北京，無從知道。 第二階段小結：5月中、下旬張力非比尋常地大，有轉向繼續惡化的態勢，而且有失控的危險。第二階段中國連外交工作也受影響，香港開始送物資之外、有金錢輸送。而在這樣的情況下，中國領導層選擇和學生直播對話。要真正了解八九天安門事件，不可以不讀5月18日那個會面的重點摘要。看一次才知他們原來談了些我們沒想過會觸及的內容。當時國家領導人苦口婆心地說出中國面臨的困境，以及表示解決問題需要社會穩定，也需要用發展來解決問題。而學生的表現及意見發表的水平，大家自行判斷。迷你版就不開展了。 進入第三階段，是5月21日至整個6月份。 要知道的新聞，是戒嚴後5月22日第一批由豐台進城的軍人被人用棍捧和磚頭圍攻，有軍人流了第一滴血。同日，吾爾開希決定撤向建國門附近使館區，收窄範圍。但是被更激進的學生反對，吾爾開希被罷免。5月23日改選柴玲為廣場總指揮。不少人都看過的視頻──柴玲說期待政府出手，期待有人流血，又說「同學本身的民主質素也相當差，……中國人，我不值得為你們奮鬥，為你們獻身。」……便是在第三階段接受美國記者訪問時說出來的。訪問內容很後期才流出。【3】 此外，大家可以自行補看新聞，5月27日支聯會的「民主歌聲獻中華」音樂會，籌得逾1300萬港元。當時已有很多關於送錢上北京的訊息。因為比較容易找到，迷你版便不岔開了。 最後是第四部份，6月3日深夜至6月4日凌晨後。 聚焦6月4日凌晨前後，必須要問：流第一滴血的是誰？天安門廣場當日有沒有死過一個人？歷史的答案是，學生全部安全撤離天安門廣場。有人死傷的地點，全部都是天安門廣場之外。在天安門廣場內沒有死人的意義，迷你版就不開展了。 關於這一天要看甚麼材料呢？ 先談文字材料：六四事件真相網頁，文字資料齊全得驚人。【4】 此外集中六四凌晨前後的具體疑問，可以參看最新的《六四事件30問》【5】是微觀六四前後兩天的情況，對30條謠言遂條撃破。我想，這材料最能夠解答大家的疑問。30問纏入具體細節，微觀當時的情況。 以下視頻材料：首先，請參看一組三集視頻：在Youtube叫「換個角度看六四 八九天安門事件解放軍縂政治部資料片」每集9分鐘。【6】【7】【8】 這三段視頻非看不可。第一段視頻的要點，包括港媒不報導的、六月前後，軍方的軍火庫曾被搶劫。當民眾手中有軍火，事態已轉險惡。注意：被定義為「民眾」者，成份複雜，部份人手上有武器。而且不知道是否北京本地人。 而第二段視頻提及，檢查及確定帳篷內沒有人，才清走帳篷。 之後可以看《維基解密：美國早知六四沒有天安門廣場屠殺》【9】 此外，香港學生領袖人物黎洪當年沒說真話，他本人在很多年後說出了真相。【10】視頻標題說他欺騙香港人，但是他起碼有勇氣說出真相。他親自證明，解放軍沒向學生開槍。至於眾多的假證據之中，可看到過香港、去過支聯會紀念會的方政。方政自稱六四凌晨被坦克碾斷雙腿；可是，有網上闢謠，挖出了事實真相。【11】 最後，必須一讀北京市市長陳希同那二萬多字的《關於制止動亂和平息反革命暴亂的情況報告》【12】 節目結束前做總結：本集只是迷你版講座，但基本資料12條頗為齊全；足夠讓一般人（不是做研究的）認清事實真相，是非曲直。提一句，大家用電腦去看我這集時事觀察，視頻下面的文字版便可以COPY備份。 聽眾朋友，不是為點撃，是為傳播真相。衷心希望你轉傳本集節目。你們的轉傳對我們很重要。插播一句，本集節目內說暫不開展的話題，會在星期三稍談。星期三是最後一集談八九天安門事件。 附連結 ６月４日前：
US economist Richard Wolff: American is becoming laughable arrogant, for a country waging 20 years war in the Middle East against Muslims least qualify to criticize China’s Muslims policy.

There is a Chinese saying “If you want to beat a dog you have to watch who the owner is”…….. 打狗也要先睇主人.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of modern China, once told a story about a Chinese merchant in the Dutch East Indies.
The Dutch government imposed a curfew that specifically targeted the Chinese populace there. The merchant was out visiting his friends one day, and it was only when night fell that he remembered he had forgotten his identification papers.
So the man went to a brothel, and paid a coin to a Japanese prostitute – not for her “services”, but simply to have her walk him home. He did so knowing the Dutch police would never antagonise a Japanese national.
Why did the Dutch victimise the Chinese, but not the Japanese?
Because Japan was a rising power, and China was weak.
You can be the most successful and richest merchant where you live, but if your ancestral homeland is weak, then even the lowliest prostitute will command more respect than you, simply for being from a strong country.
Hard to swallow, but it’s true. And it doesn’t matter which nationality overseas Chinese see themselves as, because in the eyes of their adopted countries, the Chinese will always be outsiders and/or inferior. Whatever you think you are, others will see you as Chinese first.
Most in China already know this to be true, but COVID just made it more explicit.
Unfortunately, many overseas Chinese still do not, or perhaps do not want to, get the point. They think that by denying their heritage, and throwing their own people and homeland under the bus, they will be more accepted by their new found tribe.
By the way, you can easily buy a US, Canadian, UK, Australia or New Zealand Citizenship, but you cannot buy a Chinese Citizenship.
Chinese is based on your heritage and roots. It took us 5,000 years and it is not for sale.
