All Acts by the congress should link to the alleged facts for historical records and should bear responsibility for relying on fake facts to establish the Act.
Almost 80 per cent of Tibetan children in China have been placed in a vast system of government-run boarding schools, where they are cut off from their families, languages and traditional culture, according to an analysis of official data by researchers at Tibet Action Institute.
The U.S.-based NGO found more than 800,000 Tibetan children between the ages of 6 and 18 “are now housed in these state-run institutions.”
“The colonial boarding school system in Tibet is a core element of the Chinese Communist Party’s systematic effort to co-opt, undermine, and ultimately eliminate Tibetan identity in an attempt to neutralize Tibetan resistance to Chinese rule,” the group said in a report published Tuesday.
For years, Tibetans have been sounding the alarm over what they see as assimilationist policies from Beijing. Scholars agree that the implementation of such policies escalated in the wake of large-scale unrest in parts of Tibet in 2008 and the coming to power of Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2012. Spiking repression in Tibet has coincided with a crackdown in China’s neighbouring Xinjiang region in recent years, which has seen an estimated two million ethnic Uyghurs pass through a system of “re-education” or “de-radicalization” camps.
The collective evidence is overwhelming that the PRC is engaged in widespread human rights violations,
....
Actually, all the prevailing evidence for the past couple hundred years points to the U.S. being the leader in genocide, racism, imperialism, human rights violations and pursuit of world dominance -- and it is bordering on the cliff of becoming an autocracy.
But some prefer propaganda & accusations to truth and evidence if it supports their agenda.

Hi China Watchers. ‘Tis the season for summits! Check your advent calendar: President JOE BIDEN’stwo-day Summit for Democracy is just around the corner. This week’s newsletter dives into how China — uninvited — casts a shadow over the event. We’ll also unpack the dramas surrounding both the latest Taiwan codel and another high-profile U.S. corporate apology to Beijing.
Let’s get to it. — Phelim
Next week’s Summit for Democracy is Biden’s latest effort at coalition building against threats to what he calls the “international rules-based order.”
China is neither invited to the event nor listed on its agenda, but its focus on “individual and collective commitments, reforms, and initiatives to defend democracy and human rights at home and abroad” will likely produce new initiatives to support democratic states, including Taiwan and Lithuania, facing down Chinese military and economic coercion.
“For Taiwan, this is a big deal … an incredible opportunity to interact with other nations on an equal footing and feel respected in an international arena, while brandishing its democratic credentials,” ANTHONY J. SAICH, director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard’s Kennedy School, told China Watcher. “The benefit for [Lithuania] is simply to be seen in a meeting of like-minded nations and to be able to irritate China further by showing that they are still welcome in a big club, of which China is not a part.”
As Canada's spy agency warns that China's efforts to distort the news and influence media outlets in Canada "have become normalized," critics are renewing calls for Ottawa to take a far tougher approach to foreign media interference.
The warning is contained in briefing documents drafted for Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director David Vigneault in preparation for a meeting he had with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this year.
That meeting focused on the rise of foreign interference in Canada — something CSIS says has become "more sophisticated, frequent, and insidious."
One way foreign states — including the People's Republic of China (PRC) — try to exert pressure on other countries is through media outlets, say the documents, obtained through an access to information request.
"In particular, PRC media influence activities in Canada have become normalized," it reads.
"Chinese-language media outlets operating in Canada and members of the Chinese-Canadian community are primary targets of PRC-directed foreign influenced activities."
LOL Do you know US is called a melting pot?
...and your point is what exactly?
I waited for you to figure out for yourself. You failed! My point is millions of millions people emigrated to US over last several hundred years. Except the Anglo-Saxons, they gave up their language, culture. No school teaches language as needed. Instead foreign student coming to US has to pass the TOEFL test. Do you know TOEFL? LOL But nobody called this as genocide. Instead people praised US as a melting pot. That means the languages and cultures are melted away. So what the fuck US politicians call what CCP did in Xinjiang and Tibet as genocide?

Okay, I'll play.
With the exception of Native Americans, and orphans, no children were forcibly sent to boarding schools for education. Meanwhile, the U.S. is barely a Caucasian majority culture, and we have been allowing immigration since our inception.
You would be hard pressed to explain that U.S. disallows immigrants to retain their own culture, albeit immigrants are educated with English or English as a second language.
Meanwhile, the PRC is a majority Han population, about 94%, and very little immigration, if any is allowed.
Genocide is not just the murder of specific population. It is also the attempt to reduce a populations ability to retain its culture, and in the case of the PRC, there is an ongoing program to reduce minority birthrates.
LONDON — China's government has committed genocide and crimes against humanity against the Uyghur people, a public tribunal set up by a prominent British human rights lawyer concluded Thursday.
Forced birth control and sterilization policies targeting Uyghurs in China’s far western Xinjiang Province were intended to reduce the group’s population, the tribunal's chairman, Sir Geoffrey Nice, said after the Uyghur Tribunal, a group of nine lawyers, academics and business people released a 63-page tribunal judgment.
"On the basis of evidence heard in public, the tribunal is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the People’s Republic of China, by the imposition of measures to prevent births intended to destroy a significant part of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang as such, has committed genocide," the judgment said.
With that, you can go back to your fucking lame denials.

By the way: The latest is us / NATO provoking war with Russia by creating a modern day Cuban Missile crisis in Ukraine. Fortunately, Biden backed down when he told Ukraine: "We'll cheer for you!"..

I wouldn't classify that as genocide. In fact, I support it. If people can't talk to each other they can't work together and division is promoted.
But that doesn't mean the U.S. has not committed genocide: just ask any black person in the U.S. or any "native American". We took them down from millions to thousands and then penned them up in what we call sweetly term "reservations" -- after a death march of course.

Nonsense! You have no idea what Tibet looks like and how Tibetans live. They live widely apart. If their children need education most of them cannot walk to school everyday.
Further, I read many news in US especially in NY that Chinese was shouted or attacked by Americans forcing them to speak English. What the fuck is this? Are these Americans doing genocide to Chinese immigrants?

Actually, all the prevailing evidence for the past couple hundred years points to the U.S. being the leader in genocide, racism, imperialism, human rights violations and pursuit of world dominance -- and it is bordering on the cliff of becoming an autocracy.

You know yourself, what I, and everyone else, knows; that statement is a complete lie, except for the last part.
Yet, here you are advocating for autocracy, by advocating for the PRC.
And yet you’ve just killed 3 million+ Muslims converting half a dozen Islamic states to democratic states over the last 30 years. His comment holds.
Did you not consider this whole anti-China propaganda piece was a diversion? In fact, now look at history again; perhaps we didn’t stop the Germans (twice), the Japanese, the Soviets and the Muslims, instead history categorically shows they all failed to stop us.

The collective evidence is overwhelming that the PRC is engaged in widespread human rights violations, and yet here you and your Tankie pals are whinging about legislative process to distract. I'm guessing this distraction is the United Front Work Department's plan of action.
Hi China Watchers. ‘Tis the season for summits! Check your advent calendar: President JOE BIDEN’stwo-day Summit for Democracy is just around the corner. This week’s newsletter dives into how China — uninvited — casts a shadow over the event. We’ll also unpack the dramas surrounding both the latest Taiwan codel and another high-profile U.S. corporate apology to Beijing.
Let’s get to it. — Phelim
Next week’s Summit for Democracy is Biden’s latest effort at coalition building against threats to what he calls the “international rules-based order.”
China is neither invited to the event nor listed on its agenda, but its focus on “individual and collective commitments, reforms, and initiatives to defend democracy and human rights at home and abroad” will likely produce new initiatives to support democratic states, including Taiwan and Lithuania, facing down Chinese military and economic coercion.
“For Taiwan, this is a big deal … an incredible opportunity to interact with other nations on an equal footing and feel respected in an international arena, while brandishing its democratic credentials,” ANTHONY J. SAICH, director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard’s Kennedy School, told China Watcher. “The benefit for [Lithuania] is simply to be seen in a meeting of like-minded nations and to be able to irritate China further by showing that they are still welcome in a big club, of which China is not a part.”
As Canada's spy agency warns that China's efforts to distort the news and influence media outlets in Canada "have become normalized," critics are renewing calls for Ottawa to take a far tougher approach to foreign media interference.
The warning is contained in briefing documents drafted for Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director David Vigneault in preparation for a meeting he had with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this year.
That meeting focused on the rise of foreign interference in Canada — something CSIS says has become "more sophisticated, frequent, and insidious."
One way foreign states — including the People's Republic of China (PRC) — try to exert pressure on other countries is through media outlets, say the documents, obtained through an access to information request.
"In particular, PRC media influence activities in Canada have become normalized," it reads.
"Chinese-language media outlets operating in Canada and members of the Chinese-Canadian community are primary targets of PRC-directed foreign influenced activities."
LOL Do you know US is called a melting pot?
...and your point is what exactly?
I waited for you to figure out for yourself. You failed! My point is millions of millions people emigrated to US over last several hundred years. Except the Anglo-Saxons, they gave up their language, culture. No school teaches language as needed. Instead foreign student coming to US has to pass the TOEFL test. Do you know TOEFL? LOL But nobody called this as genocide. Instead people praised US as a melting pot. That means the languages and cultures are melted away. So what the fuck US politicians call what CCP did in Xinjiang and Tibet as genocide?
That’s the problem with melting pots, the original structure is lost and reformed into the new structure.
...there's so much smoke here it's not even a question of whether there's fire. China has an abysmal human rights record and if anything is only getting worse. The army of astroturfers tasked with muddying the waters will not make this go away.
All Acts by the congress should link to the alleged facts for historical records and should bear responsibility for relying on fake facts to establish the Act.
Almost 80 per cent of Tibetan children in China have been placed in a vast system of government-run boarding schools, where they are cut off from their families, languages and traditional culture, according to an analysis of official data by researchers at Tibet Action Institute.
The U.S.-based NGO found more than 800,000 Tibetan children between the ages of 6 and 18 “are now housed in these state-run institutions.”
“The colonial boarding school system in Tibet is a core element of the Chinese Communist Party’s systematic effort to co-opt, undermine, and ultimately eliminate Tibetan identity in an attempt to neutralize Tibetan resistance to Chinese rule,” the group said in a report published Tuesday.
For years, Tibetans have been sounding the alarm over what they see as assimilationist policies from Beijing. Scholars agree that the implementation of such policies escalated in the wake of large-scale unrest in parts of Tibet in 2008 and the coming to power of Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2012. Spiking repression in Tibet has coincided with a crackdown in China’s neighbouring Xinjiang region in recent years, which has seen an estimated two million ethnic Uyghurs pass through a system of “re-education” or “de-radicalization” camps.
The collective evidence is overwhelming that the PRC is engaged in widespread human rights violations,
....
Actually, all the prevailing evidence for the past couple hundred years points to the U.S. being the leader in genocide, racism, imperialism, human rights violations and pursuit of world dominance -- and it is bordering on the cliff of becoming an autocracy.
But some prefer propaganda & accusations to truth and evidence if it supports their agenda.
When was democracy anything more than a superficial option atop a fundamental concession? Autocracy all the way.
We started pretty much as an autocracy -- only rich white men had a say. Then we slowly, step by step, we headed towards a full and equal democracy. Now, for the past 25 years, that democracy has been attacked and eroded from within by rich white men, religious bigots and white supremacists.
As Ben Franklin said: "A republic -- if you can keep it".

That’s the problem with melting pots, the original structure is lost and reformed into the new structure.
That melting pot is what built America as an industrial giant. We imported labor -- aside from the obvious case of black "immigrants", we also enticed Western Europeans, Irish, Italian, and then eastern Europeans to work in our mines and factories. And, to a lesser extent, Chinese built our railroads out west.
That's even where our public school system came from: those immigrants were living and working under horrible conditions -- but their kids got to build a better future by going to free public schools. So, they stayed, worked long, hard hours under dangerous, even deadly conditions -- and made the Carnegies of America rich men.
Added: And each of those immigrant groups were hated, despised and discriminated against by the "real Americans" (who were themselves immigrants or descended from immigrants) -- just as is done today with the immigrants from our southern border. "They don't send us their best..."

Relations between the European Union and Taiwan have taken a surprising turn over the past year, with European officials embracing diplomatic cooperation with the self-governed island even as Beijing ramps up its coercive attempts to isolate Taipei. As the EU finds common ground with Taiwan in the field of cybersecurity and resilience, experts say China’s tactics have inadvertently pushed the bloc closer to Taipei.
President Xi Jinping’s increasingly aggressive policy at home and abroad has provoked greater wariness and even outrage in the EU, which has become increasingly aware of the threats from China, particularly in the form of disinformation and influence campaigns.
In the last few weeks, Australian, Fijian, New Zealand and Papua New Guinean peacekeepers were deployed to the Solomon Islands to stabilise the situation for a pro-China leader, alleged to have used a Chinese government slush fund to bribe militants to withdraw support from the violent protests in Honiara. CCP-mouthpiece Global Times, approvingly praised the arrival of the foreign forces in the Solomons to restore order.
The situation is invidious, but New Zealand and Australia’s longstanding timidity on publicly confronting China’s malign activities in the Pacific meant that it was inevitable they would find themselves using their militaries to protect Chinese interests in the Pacific.
Just two days after this vote, the New Zealand government published its 2021 Defence Assessment, a comprehensive look at the challenges facing the country from a defence and security perspective. In Australia, there is a perception that New Zealand has been too timid in its approach to China. This new assessment should put an end to that; it will really poke the panda.
It lays out New Zealand’s deep concerns about the risk of China stationing its military in the South Pacific. Local conflicts, such as the Honiara riots, could provide the catalyst for such a move.
The 2021 Defence Assessment asserts that if a state that did not share New Zealand’s values and security interests – read China – set up a military base or dual-use facility in the Pacific, it would be among the most serious security threats facing New Zealand.
It is a situation that parallels the acute danger posed for New Zealand and Australia by Axis powers like Japan – or Vichy France – controlling Pacific island territories in World War II. New Zealand’s 2021 Defence Assessment closely parallels and references the findings of Australia’s 2020 Strategic Update.

Strategic location in the South Pacific and near Antarctica, and is a setback for the PRC's strategic interests.
If you had any concept of the Pacific War, you would understand why China is attempting inroads in the South Pacific; to constrain Australia's and New Zealand's supply lines.
Some believe that the PRC will attempt to commercialize its site(s) in Antartica as well, something that is banned by treaty that the PRC is a signatory of, but when has that ever stopped them?

The 2021 Defence Assessment asserts that if a state that did not share New Zealand’s values and security interests – read China – set up a military base or dual-use facility in the Pacific, it would be among the most serious security threats facing New Zealand.
It is a situation that parallels the acute danger posed for New Zealand and Australia by Axis powers like Japan – or Vichy France – controlling Pacific island territories in World War II. New Zealand’s 2021 Defence Assessment closely parallels and references the findings of Australia’s 2020 Strategic Update.
everybody lives in fear of mighty New Zealand. They are pretty good at making motion pictures though.
Strategic location in the South Pacific and near Antarctica, and is a setback for the PRC's strategic interests.
If you had any concept of the Pacific War, you would understand why China is attempting inroads in the South Pacific; to constrain Australia's and New Zealand's supply lines.
Some believe that the PRC will attempt to commercialize its site(s) in Antartica as well, something that is banned by treaty that the PRC is a signatory of, but when has that ever stopped them?

Yet, here you are advocating for autocracy, by advocating for the PRC.
With the exception of Native Americans, and orphans, no children were forcibly sent to boarding schools for education. Meanwhile, the U.S. is barely a Caucasian majority culture, and we have been allowing immigration since our inception.
You would be hard pressed to explain that U.S. disallows immigrants to retain their own culture, albeit immigrants are educated with English or English as a second language.
Meanwhile, the PRC is a majority Han population, about 94%, and very little immigration, if any is allowed.
Genocide is not just the murder of specific population. It is also the attempt to reduce a populations ability to retain its culture, and in the case of the PRC, there is an ongoing program to reduce minority birthrates.

With that, you can go back to your fucking lame denials.
Further, I read many news in US especially in NY that Chinese was shouted or attacked by Americans forcing them to speak English. What the fuck is this? Are these Americans doing genocide to Chinese immigrants?
Did you not consider this whole anti-China propaganda piece was a diversion? In fact, now look at history again; perhaps we didn’t stop the Germans (twice), the Japanese, the Soviets and the Muslims, instead history categorically shows they all failed to stop us.
It's very obvious. Point out the nonsense, and ignore anything else he says. Anything else just contributes to his distraction methods.
But, but, everybody loves the "peaceful" PRC...
