The Noodle Maker of Kalimpong: The Untold Story of My Struggle for Tibet. The elder brother of Dalai Lama tells Americans no Angeles, the biggest regrets was working with US’s CIA.

This book’s self-effacing title disguises the fact that Thondup, an elder brother of the Dalai Lama, is one of the most important figures in the history of the Tibetan diaspora.

For many years, Thondup was the go-to Tibetan interlocutor for foreign governments and China. The book is full of tales of international intrigue, recounting Thondup’s meetings in the 1950s with Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the Taiwanese leader Chiang Kai-shek, who Thondup says personally paid for him to attend college. Thondup also claims that he was the CIA’s contact person in Tibet and that he even managed the agency’s clandestine base in Nepal. Later, when Deng Xiaoping came to power in China, Thondup writes that he was summoned to Beijing to discuss renewed negotiations between China and the Dalai Lama. Tibet were engineered by foreign governments and Beijing’s negotiations with the Dalai Lama were sabotaged by the Indian government.

達賴二哥嘉樂頓珠親筆寫懺悔回憶錄:《我一生最大錯誤就是與美國中情局同流合污》,美國一心只想借藏獨勢力顛覆分裂中國!

2015年四月,過去長期擔任達賴特使的達賴的哥哥嘉樂頓珠,出版了回憶錄 「The Untold Story of My Struggle for Tibet”。嘉樂頓珠說,他 「一生中最大的悔恨” 就是跟美國中情局合作,接受來自中情局的各種援助及代為訓練西藏武裝人員與游擊隊。中情局為藏人設立的武裝訓練基地,最初選在印巴邊境附近,後來轉移到尼 泊爾木斯塘及美國科羅拉多等地;接受訓練後的大批西藏武裝份子,透過美國的協助,潛入西藏發動攻擊,並且從中奪取中共一些重要情報給美國。

多年之後,嘉樂頓珠才知道自己上當,並且自認因此錯失西藏問題和平解決的最佳時機。他說,美國事實上不但絲毫無意於減緩西藏與中國之間的緊張關係, 反倒盡力擴大之,目的無非就是要藉此傷害中國。嘉樂頓珠說,問題是,傷害了中國的同時,也傷害了西藏;唯一獲利的是從中翻雲覆雨的美國。嘉樂頓珠還強調, 美國提供給藏人的各種武器從來都不是美國製,他認為這是因為美國不願留下任何暗中協助藏人進行武裝組織與攻擊的證據。

對於這整個經過,達賴的哥哥嘉樂頓珠是這麼說的:「終我一生,只有一件可堪悔恨之事:那就是與中情局發生關聯。最初,我真的相信,美國人想要幫助我們為獨立而戰,最後我意識到,事情並非如此單純,這只是我的一廂情願。中情局的目標從來都不是西藏獨立,事實上,我不認為美國真的想施以援手,他們只是想引起衝突,用西藏人來製造中國和印度之間的誤解與不和。 最終他們成功了,1962年的中印邊境戰爭就是一場悲劇。」

「我們與中情局的合作,惹惱了中國人,給了他們進行大規模鎮壓的藉口。結果是,數萬西藏人因此而死。」「我與美國中情局的關係,沈甸甸地壓在我心 上,我已 經保持了幾十年的沈默,但是現在我必須說出真相。我們與中情局的合作是錯誤的。我們不應當收取中情局的援助。如果我們不與中情局合作,如果我們不貪圖中情 局所給予的那些極為有限的好處,中共就沒有藉口殺掉那麽多西藏人。我們與中情局的合作,導致了那麽多無辜者的死亡。他們殺死的不僅是我們的人民,同時也試 圖扼殺我們的文化。我與中情局一起完成的那些事,促成了西藏文化的徹底毀滅。這給我帶來了巨大痛苦,在許多年裏使我備受困擾。我不能忘卻這一切,我是有罪 的。這是我一生最大的悔恨。

美國的這類作為,不斷反覆施行至今,在世界各地以所謂民主自由及人權為藉口,盡一切力量挑起血腥動亂與衝突,藉以顛覆、攻擊乃至入侵與佔領所有不聽 話或敵對的各國政權;方法之一就是藉著提供經援與武器給所謂反對勢力,藉以挑起各種抗爭與動亂,從中坐收漁利。毫無疑問,今天要不是中共國力強大,整個大 陸早已成為伊拉克及阿富汗那般的血腥人間煉獄,八國聯軍及軍閥割據和大饑荒等等恐怖歷史,老早重演。

我常想,今天我若是中共領導人,面對這樣一個無惡不作、無所不用其極、信奉極端暴力與恐怖主義的美國政府,用盡一切手段想在中國製造動亂與分裂,我 有可能不實施某種鎮壓或管制嗎?恐怕不可能。除非我想讓整個中國十幾億人民陷於水火、墮入猶如伊拉克、敘利亞、利比亞及阿富汗等等等等等那樣一種永不見天 日的人間煉獄。

時至今日,應該不會再有人稱讚美國發動侵略伊拉克戰爭了吧?應該也不會有人相信什麼海珊擁有大規模毀滅武器準備毀滅人類的鬼話。而且恰恰相反,這幾年來許多機密文件紛紛清楚地顯示:美國不但不是因為 「懷疑” 海珊 「可能擁有” 大規模毀滅武器而入侵伊拉克,而是因為美國 「確切知道” 海珊根本沒有任何大規模毀滅武器,所以才肆無忌憚地派出地面部隊入侵佔領伊拉克。

邪惡之事,總是出之以冠冕堂皇光鮮亮麗之名。例如,隨手舉個例好了。美國從事這一切齷齪勾當的偉大說詞之一就是透過所謂民主輸出與人權輸出。美國有 個 「假民營真官方” 的所謂人權機構就叫做 「美國國家民主輸出基金會”(National Endowment for Democracy,縮寫:NED,一般翻譯做美國民主基金會),它是美國中情局底下一個負責顛覆與攻擊敵對政權或製造各種所謂 「民主抗爭” 的經援單位。在兩岸三地方面,凡是反中反華者,都是他們所要表揚與鉅額金錢贊助的對象,包括法輪功及王丹等一票所謂民運人士,獎勵他們繼續打擊中國,捍衛 所謂民主自由。台灣方面,扁嫂吳淑珍也曾經是美國民主基金會2002年的獲獎者,獎勵她對所謂民主與人權所做出的巨大貢獻。

反觀中國崛起以來,從不曾侵略它國,不曾派出一兵一卒,不曾發射一彈一炮,所謂影響力之擴張,無非就是提供各國經援,協助開發民生設施,鑿井開路,建水庫 設電廠,方便以後大家互相往來做生意。然而,英國和美國卻不是這樣,半個多世紀來,不斷在世界各地燒殺擄掠殺害數千萬生命。惡行不奇怪,奇怪的是:人們居 然完全看不見血流成河,卻能看見一點皮毛之傷,並且為之 「義憤填膺”?明明中國是善,美國是惡;偏偏世人善惡顛倒、是非不分;對滿手血腥的美國歌功頌德,對從不侵犯他國的中國卻極盡污衊抹黑之能事。

US have lost ALL the wars to China since after WWII. It is a reality US must live with going forward. 二戰後,美國在所有的戰爭中都輸給了中國。這是美國未來必須接受的現實。

Eugene E. Ruyle: Don’t forget that the U.S. LOST the war in mainland China 1945-49 after they sent over 100,000 American soldiers and billions of dollars to support the losing anti-communist KMT (aka the “running d_gs” of imperialism). See: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/military/timeline/1945-49.htm

Kiji Noah: Yes, this was the III Marine Amphibious Corps (which had fought its way through the Pacific and Okinawa) that was stationed in Northern China (Hubei and Shandong) from 1945-1949. Ostensibly deployed to “assist repatriation of Japanese troops”, they trained and equipped the KMT, engaged in direct warfare with the Communists, as well as prevented the surrender of Japanese troops (and their materiel) to the Communists (despite agreement to surrender unilaterally). Their job was to ensured that the KMT, not the Communists prevailed (despite the Communists doing the bulk of fighting in Northern China). 50-100K US troops were involved, and $4.43B in military aid was delivered to the ROC fascists in this early chapter of the Sino-US war.

There was a grimly funny moment of cringe! In their sham tribunal they can’t even back-up their own numbers. When asked about the claim of millions of people in the camps, she admits she can only explain “5,567 people in total” Turns out the so call “witnesses” for the farcical “tribunal” were paid–royally, 43,000 UK pounds = US$58,000. 事實證明,鬧劇“法庭”的所謂“證人”是有報酬的. 收買費用是每人43,000 英鎊 = 58,000 美元 https://uyghurtribunal.com/submissions/

5 legislative bodies (US, UK, Canada, Netherlands, Lithuania) have passed legislation condemning genocide, although, curiously enough,
all the legislation is symbolic & toothless–an odd thing to do if a real genocide were happening–and in the case of the UK & Canada, vetoed by their own governments.

There is no genocide in the history of the term where:
1) The population of Xinjiang has grown in leaps and bounds–25% from 2010-2018 alone
2) The infant mortality rate has dropped; and where the group was exempted from population control –Uighurs were allowed 2-3 children (and often more)
3) The wealth and economic status of the population has grown by multiples
4) There is a total absence of propaganda against the group–in fact any language criticizing muslims is banned in China, despite massive terror attacks.
5) There is a total absence of refugees etc.

Maria Ressa – awarded the Nobel Peace Prize – is promoted by the Western media as a heroic, brave, independent journalist standing up to the government of the Philippines and its president, Rodrigo Duterte.

What is left buried in articles about Maria Ressa is that she’s actually a US citizen funded by the US through the National Endowment for Democracy and her media platform – Rappler – is a purveyor of anti-China rhetoric serving US interests at the cost of the Philippines’ own best interests.

The irony of Ressa winning a “peace prize” is Rappler’s propaganda aims at stirring up conflict – not avoiding it.

Maria Ressa is also linked to the Naval Postgraduate School’s information warfare division, CORE Lab.

https://www.rappler.com/about/board-of-directors-2019

Maria taught courses in politics and the press for her alma mater, Princeton University, and in broadcast principles at the University of the Philippines. Her latest book, From Bin Laden to Facebook, was part of her work as author-in-residence and senior fellow at the International Centre for Political Violence & Terrorism Research in Singapore. She is also the Southeast Asia Visiting Scholar at CORE Lab at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA.

Maria Ressa of Rappler got the National Democratic Institute (NDI) 2017 award. NDI is part of NED, which is C*A.

Canadians see through troublesome racist anti-China propaganda by Robert Walker Oct 10 2021

Canadians see through troublesome racist anti-China propaganda by Robert Walker Oct 10 2021

This past June, a survey by the Angus Reid Institute found that more than half of Asian Canadians had personally experienced anti-Asian racism in the past year.

And while anti-Asian racism has been criticized by some Canadian politicians and influencers, it turns out that when it comes to combatting anti-Asian racism, there is often much less appetite to do much about it.

Recently, Canadian Senator Yuen Pau Woo shared on social media a column in the Toronto Star newspaper, which paraphrased Chas Freeman, a retired US diplomat, in saying that, “the United States, assisted by Canada, took (Huawei CFO) Meng (Wanzhou) hostage in the first place as part of its trade-and-technology war with China.”

Such a statement, while perhaps uncomfortable for many Canadians to acknowledge the Meng Wanzhou arrest as being purely political in nature, is certainly a reasonable view to hold.

In fact, no less than former Canadian foreign minister and deputy prime minister John Manley argued that the Meng case was clearly one of a political nature.

Donald Trump’s comments at the time of Meng’s arrest had, “given Ms. Meng’s lawyers quite a good reason to go the court and say ‘This is not an extradition matter. This is actually leverage in a trade dispute and it’s got nothing to do with Canada,'” Manley remarked shortly after Meng’s arrest.

But when Senator Woo pointed out the same truth, by sharing the article from the Toronto Star on Twitter, he faced a barrage of anti-Asian racism as a result.

Multiple respondents suggested that Senator Woo must be a Chinese spy.

“Where does their allegiance lie?”, one respondent asked rhetorically. Another asked “Where do your loyalties lie, Senator?”

And scandalously, Chris Alexander, a former diplomat in the Stephen Harper government, posted on Twitter that “mouthpieces for foreign propaganda” like Woo should resign from the Senate.

While the political motivations of Meng Wanzhou’s arrest – driven by the US agenda to combat China’s ascendant technology industry – are abundantly clear, what is particularly egregious was not only the denial of this verifiable fact, but the knee-jerk anti-Asian racism that inevitably followed when Senator Woo dared to point out the uncomfortable truth.

Unfortunately, this recent string of racism on social media was not the first time Senator Woo faced anti-Asian racism for speaking out in a nuanced way about China.

This past June, Senator Leo Housakos introduced a motion which sought to condemn China for the alleged discrimination against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Fortunately, and despite widespread anti-China misinformation in the news media on the topic, Leo’s motion was defeated with 33 Senators opposing the measure, with 29 voting in favor.

While there was some criticism voiced by anti-China activists against the 33 Senators who voted down the motion, according to a recent report by Global News, it was only Senator Woo who faced hateful rhetoric and racist messaging.

“While they all faced criticisms from some quarters, only one – Sen. Yuen Pau Woo, leader of the Independent Senators Group – seems to have been singled out as an alleged stooge… told to resign and ‘go home,'” according to the Global News report.

The attacks on Senator Woo are significant for more reasons than just about the anti-Asian racism, troubling as those incidents were. In fact, what the voices of condemnation against Senator Woo, namely from Chris Alexander, are based on the illogical premise that one cannot be a proud Canadian and yet be opposed to steps which would cause a rift in relations between Canada and China. Indeed, it should be clear that, regardless of one’s ethnic origins, the spread of anti-China propaganda serves no productive purpose.

Fortunately, while the voices of online trolls – even those with influential platforms – may be troublesome, the facts remain that Canada and China could be moving closer together, regardless of those who would seek to disrupt the trend.

According to a recent Op-Ed in the Business In Vancouver news journal by China’s ambassador to Canada, Cong Peiwu, trade between China and Canada grew by 19.9 percent from early 2020 to early 2021. Canada’s imports from China, and its exports to China, had both grown by double digits in just one year.

As Ambassador Cong wrote, “I believe mutual respect at every level will ensure mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.” Indeed, despite the voices trying to disrupt a closer relationship between China and Canada, it seems that the majority of Canadians see the benefit in a closer relationship, and the harm that anti-China propaganda serves to Canadians.

Time to call the US out for making Chinese nationals targets of prosecution by Gal Luft Oct 11 2021

Time to call the US out for making Chinese nationals targets of prosecution by Gal Luft Oct 11 2021

Now that Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou has returned to China after reaching a deal with the US Justice Department, it is time to reflect about her possible “successors”, not in Huawei’s boardroom but on the list of targets of America’s long arm jurisdiction.

Just days before the US Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped Meng’s extradition request allowing her departure from Vancouver, FBI Director Christopher Wray reportedly told a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on threats to the US that the bureau opens new probes into China “every 12 hours”.

The US has bilateral extradition treaties with about 120 countries. Those treaties allow for the extradition for traditional crimes like fraud, hacking, and money laundering but not for crimes of a political nature, like failure to register as a foreign agent, espionage, or in Meng’s case, violations of US sanctions.

The DOJ’s China Initiative established in 2018 by the Trump administration has given the FBI and US prosecutors special incentives to pursue cases related to China. To clear the extradition threshold, US authorities often mask political crimes as ordinary by withholding from courts relevant information pertaining to the political context of the case.

In Meng’s case, the official charge was bank fraud even though the motivation for the prosecution was political and aimed at sabotaging Huawei’s global 5G leadership position.

Had Meng been extradited and faced trial, her fate would have been decided by a jury of 12 from New York who were expected to be impartial. But it is hard to see how, with growing anti-China sentiment in America, such an impartial jury could even be found.

This means that in the era of US-China rivalry every legal case involving China brought before a US court, let alone a high-profile case like Meng’s, could be easily turned into a political circus. This is not to say that Chinese citizens should be immune from US legal actions but that countries receiving extradition requests must apply new standards of scrutiny when reviewing extradition cases involving China and the US.

The targeting of foreign citizens by the US government is not always done within the framework of the law.

Recently, an investigative report posted by Yahoo News revealed troubling information about how the CIA planned to kill or kidnap Wikileaks founder Julian Assange whose organization exposed US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other embarrassing details about the workings of the US intelligence community. When the plan was rejected, Assange was charged with hacking into US military databases, an extraditable crime under the US-UK extradition treaty. In January, Assange’s extradition was blocked by the British judge but the US government appealed the decision. His case could drag on for years and he might linger in prison.

Time and again the US government has sought to extradite and imprison foreign nationals for political reasons, weaponizing its legal system to advance its geopolitical agenda. Under some extradition agreements the US does not have to provide detailed evidence against the accused. In other words, the court does not need to be sure that the individual could be convicted at the end of a trial.

National courts in such countries must therefore be extra scrupulous and demand a more substantial body of evidence against defendants, especially when it comes to Chinese nationals before they rule in favor of extradition.

They should also consider that as the US-China rivalry intensifies it will become impossible for defendants to enjoy fair treatment in jury trials. The international community should call upon the Biden administration to shut down the China Initiative. China is the only country in the entire global justice system to be singled out as a target of prosecution and the prosecutorial zeal of DOJ attorneys has already ruined many innocent lives. A country that touts the rule of law and the rules-based international order should be called out for using its legal system as a political tool in a mean manner.

AI contest hype will only create barrier to industry cooperation by Ma Jihua04:53 Oct 11 2021

AI contest hype will only create barrier to industry cooperation by Ma Jihua
04:53 Oct 11 2021

The Pentagon’s former chief software officer Nicolas Chaillan said that the US has already lost artificial intelligence (AI) competition to China. In an interview with the Financial Times shortly after his resignation, Chaillan said there was “good reason to be angry,” because “the US has no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years.”

The first chief software officer for the US Air Force, who spent three years on a Pentagon-wide effort to boost cyber security, told American media that he plans to testify to the US Congress about the Chinese cyber threat to US supremacy.

There is no doubt that the US takes a leading position in the AI field, where China is catching up rapidly. The advantages of the US can be reflected in some high-end and core innovations of AI. China has achieved an advanced position in applications such as speech recognition. The number of patents in China, the scale of investment and the growth of the industry, are also growing at a speed exceeding many people’s expectations.

As for whether China has surpassed the US in AI, it is believed that the international scientific communities should be able to offer an objective conclusion after doing their evaluation. However, it should be pointed out that although China is ratcheting up investment on AI and other technologies, its purpose is not to surpass any specific country.

No matter how accurate the ex-Pentagon software chief’s assessment is, overly hyping an “AI contest” will only add up barriers between the two countries’ technological cooperation. Taking such a view full of pathologically competitive mentality is also likely to intensify US’ hostility against China, and may push more US tech companies to abandon mutually beneficial cooperation with Chinese companies.

The rapid development of a country’s science and technology is inseparable from open cooperation and exchanges with global partners, but the US has not been able to rationally view the rise of China’s science and technology levels. The US government has long been doing its utmost to stifle Chinese technology companies and contain China’s technological development.

For instance, the previous Trump administration launched a relentless attack against Chinese 5G giant Huawei. Washington imposed a strict sales ban on Huawei, while lobbying its allies to exclude Huawei from their 5G construction plans. The Biden administration has kept on such suppression. The Wall Street Journal blatantly claimed in an article on Monday that “Washington’s campaign has used some of the most destructive tools in its arsenal, and they have succeeded.”

On the technology front, Biden has intensified the contest, namely by blocking the US from sharing leading technology with Chinese companies. The Biden administration in March reportedly amended licensing arrangements for companies to sell to Huawei, further restricting companies from supplying items that can be used to produce Huawei’s 5G devices. The White House’s chip summit in April with many multinational companies excluded all key players from the Chinese mainland.

Instead of strangling China’s technology development, the US’ decoupling approach has disrupted the global research and development of science and technology, while slowing down the pace of technological progress in the US too. The reasons for the current global chip supply shortage are complex, but one of the most important artificial factors is the so-called decoupling measures taken by the US.

When asked about economic “decoupling” from China, Biden’s trade representative Katherine Tai last week said it was not realistic for the world’s two largest economies to stop trading with each other. Tai said the US is looking for a kind of “recoupling.” It is hoped that the US can readjust its science and technology policy, and engage in conscientious competition and cooperation with China, instead of continuing to harm others and disadvantage itself.

Abbott an ‘Australian Pompeo’ used by Taiwan secessionists by Lin Lan Oct 10 2021

Abbott an ‘Australian Pompeo’ used by Taiwan secessionists by Lin Lan Oct 10 2021

Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott, also regarded by some Chinese analysts as the “Australian version of Mike Pompeo,” has acted as a “vanguard” of the US, pathetically becoming Washington’s cannon fodder and a tool taken advantage of by Taiwan secessionists. Abbott made a series of clownish attacks against the Chinese mainland during his visit to the island of Taiwan, which was harshly criticized by the Chinese embassy in Australia.

“Tony Abbott is a failed and pitiful politician. His recent despicable and insane performance in Taiwan fully exposed his hideous anti-China features. This will only further discredit him,” said the spokesperson of the Chinese embassy in Australia on Saturday.

Abbott arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday. During his visit, he wantonly criticized China’s “belligerence” and “crackdown” in Hong Kong and Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Abbott sensationally raised fears that Beijing “could lash out disastrously very soon” against Taiwan, accusing the Chinese mainland of being a “bully” and expressing his support for Taiwan secessionists. Trying to instigate Washington, he also said he did not believe the US “could stand by” and watch Taiwan be “swallowed up” by the Chinese mainland.

“Abbott is like an Australian version of Mike Pompeo. His words are one of the most ferocious and outrageous attacks against Beijing by Australian politicians since the establishment of China-Australia diplomatic relations. Abbott is a representative of the extreme right, trying to interfere in China’s political system and other internal affairs. But now, his scheme has obviously failed,” Chen Hong, a professor and director of the Australian Studies Centre, East China Normal University, told the Global Times.

Abbott’s all-out attack against the Chinese mainland was not extensively echoed inside Australia. For example, The Sydney Morning Herald commented on Friday that “Abbott’s comments will put the Morrison government in a difficult position.” In recent years, Canberra has brought a lot of damage to China-Australia relations. As the two countries’ ties have already reached a low point, Abbott was adding fuel to the flames. It will be Australia itself that suffers eventually.

Besides, a few proactive speeches against Beijing will never help the island of Taiwan end its “international isolation” as Abbott claimed. Nor will they bring any actual support to Taiwan secessionists. Just the opposite, Abbott’s visit shows that Taiwan secessionists have almost come to the end of their rope. To a large extent, they can only take advantage of such former politicians who cannot represent mainstream political strategy in their own countries.

Although Abbott clamored that he did not believe the US “could stand by” on the Taiwan question, he cannot change the fact that extreme Australian anti-China forces are in an awkward dilemma. They have closely followed Washington’s suit to oppose Beijing, but Washington may never fulfill their wish at the expense of a complete breakdown of China-US relations.

This year marks the 110th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution, whose historical mission was to end the thousands-years-long absolute monarchy, establish a republic and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Kuomintang reactionaries were eventually given up by people, defeated in the Chinese mainland and retreated to Taiwan. But today, Taiwan’s ruling interest groups have abandoned the primal purpose of the revolution, turning to external forces to confront the mainland.

It is pitiful and ridiculous that former Australian prime minister has become an anti-China vanguard used by Taiwan secessionists. One after another, Taiwan has lost its “allies,” which shows that China’s complete reunification is an unstoppable trend. Extreme politicians like Abbott and their positions will be eventually abandoned by history.
