'Reeducation' camps

jeudi 31 janvier 2019 à 01:00

Chinese "reeducation" camps in Xinjing are making clothing that is exported to US schools and sports teams.

Institute for Statecraft

jeudi 31 janvier 2019 à 01:00

A supposed UK "charity", the "Institute for Statecraft", disguises the location of its headquarters, as well as the fact that its funding comes from the state and its director is a colonel in military intelligence. Its mission is to correct "fake news" by spreading other news, which we must suspect is a mixture of truth and falsehood.

US puppets

jeudi 31 janvier 2019 à 01:00

The US empire treats nominally independent countries as puppets. One of the worst examples is from Bosnia. The US pressured it to exile naturalized citizens, often hand them over for torture — in Egypt, in Guantanamo, elsewhere.

The US labeled them enemies because they had fought for the Bosnian Muslims motivated by their religion. This doesn't imply they supported al-Qa'ida. But even if they did, they should not have been punished like this, disregarding laws, whether or not they committed any crime.

I think the article's very short aside about the civil war in Syria is one-sided.

Meng Wanzhou faces an extradition hearing in which Canada is obligated to demand evidence of specific crimes — exactly what the Bosnians deserved but did not get.

'Green death' movement

jeudi 31 janvier 2019 à 01:00

The "green death" movement encourages letting human corpses decay and push up daisies, and trees, rather than embalming them so that they will remain unchanged for thousands of years.

Imprisoned in China

jeudi 31 janvier 2019 à 01:00

Canada says that around 200 Canadians are under arrest or in prison in China, but that's the usual amount and doesn't seem to represent arbitrary retaliation.

Whether it is retaliation or not, the crucial point is that people arrested in China, whatever the motive, don't get a fair trial, and sometimes no trial at all. And they may be tortured.

I wish I could say that my country never did such things.
