Chinese community openly condemns Communist Party of China for shielding Burmese army’s coup, causing exclusionary sentiment to rise
On February 4, 2021, a large number of Burmese coup troops entered Myanmar’s second largest city.
The coup by the Burmese military has created an atmosphere of instability in the community, and the Burmese people who support the government are generally complaining about the Chinese Communist Party‘s support of the Burmese military and even the escalation of anti-Chinese sentiment. Dozens of local Chinese organizations, worried about a repeat of the bloody Chinese exclusion, have issued statements condemning the Chinese government for condoning the coup and demanding that the Burmese military release Aung San Suu Kyi.
Radio Free Asia reported that after the military coup in Myanmar, the Chinese Communist Party’s representative to the United Nations went so far as to defend the Myanmar military that staged the coup and tried to prevent the Security Council from condemning it, which immediately triggered a fierce backlash from the local people after the news spread in Myanmar on Thursday night (Feb. 4). Fierce criticism of the Chinese Communist government quickly surfaced on social media, and quickly spilled over into a campaign against Chinese in Myanmar, with abuse and attacks on Burmese Chinese.
Mr. Chen, a Burmese Chinese in Yangon, said that after the disclosure of the official attitude of the Chinese Communist Party, the anti-Chinese sentiment in Burmese society is really heating up rapidly. They are all very worried now, but because they have nowhere to hide, they can only stay at Home and watch the situation with fear and trepidation.
The Chinese business leader, who requested anonymity, believes that the CCP’s performance in the Security Council has led directly to the hatred of Chinese businesses in Myanmar. A pro-communist Chinese in Myanmar also admitted that feeling the danger and pressure, the only thing they can do now is to hide at home and not go out.
Inside Burma, hundreds of thousands of Chinese are in a great panic. This panic and concern has even spread to areas controlled by ethnic armed groups in northern Myanmar, which have close ties with the Chinese Communist Party, and has sparked discontent among local people against the Chinese Communist government. Dozens of Chinese organizations, including the Kokang ethnic group in Shan State, issued a statement on Thursday evening in the name of all Burmese Chinese, saying they would stand on the side of justice and live and die together with the Burmese people.
Dozens of Chinese organizations issued a statement pointing out that the official practice of the Chinese Communist Party may provoke a wave of Chinese exclusion in Burma, and stressed that in the 1960s and 1970s, as the Chinese Communist Party exported its revolutionary support to the Communist Party of Burma, it had led to large-scale Chinese exclusion and led to the killing of countless Chinese, therefore, the Burmese Chinese condemned the Chinese Communist Government’s support for the Burmese military coup and joined all Burmese people to support the State Senior Minister Aung San Suu Kyi and democratically elected President U Win Myint.
It is reported that after the public statement was released, the Chinese Communist Party officials also quickly exerted pressure to delete the content, including the Twitter account named “Shan State Kokang Nation”. The message was uniformly forwarded by the pro-China self-media WeChat public websites, saying that the Chinese community’s condemnation of the Chinese Communist government’s support for the Tatmadaw would more seriously irritate the Burmese people and lead to more serious consequences.
But these self-publishers, who released the news at the behest of the CCP, also emphasized in their articles that it would be difficult for their ancestral country (China) to effectively protect the Chinese in the event of a tragedy.
In recent years, the Chinese government has once again exported authoritarian politics around the world, and large numbers of Chinese businesspeople and even Chinese have once again been co-opted into the official narrative of the Chinese Communist Party, which has increasingly triggered a backlash from the people of the host countries. During the Epidemic, millions of Chinese citizens were even forcibly blocked from returning to their home countries during the crisis.

The U.S. political news website Politico revealed on Feb. 4 that the German Interior, Economy, Research and Transport ministries have proposed an “exit plan for Huawei” to spend 2 billion euros from the German government’s recovery stimulus plan to complete the plan. The plan is to spend 2 billion euros from the German government’s recovery stimulus plan to complete the plan to keep Huawei out of Germany’s 5G construction program. Berlin is preparing an investment plan of up to 2 billion euros to boost the country’s telecom companies and intends to prioritize “open run” technology in its telecom investment plan.
Xi appoints climate envoy, Biden climate envoy says he’ll see him soon

The Biden Administration has framed the U.S.-China relationship as one of “competition and cooperation,” and has repeatedly stated that there is “room for cooperation” with the Beijing government on climate issues. Recently, Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, told Reuters that the Chinese Communist Party had just appointed a climate envoy and that the two envoys would meet “soon.
According to Reuters, Kerry said on Thursday that he received news on Wednesday that Beijing had appointed Xie Zhenhua as its climate envoy. Kerry told Reuters, “We haven’t spoken yet, and this will be in due course. Soon, I can be sure.
Xie is the former deputy director of the Communist Party’s National Development and Reform Commission and special representative for climate change. He was given the new title of “climate envoy” by the Chinese Communist Party, which corresponds to Kerry’s post. Biden appointed Kerry as his climate envoy upon taking office to declare his commitment to climate issues.
In the interview, Kerry said he had worked with Xie for about 20 years and knew him well; he stressed that U.S.-China cooperation on climate issues would not be used in exchange for other issues such as human rights and trade. But Kerry would not say whether the United States would join the European Union and Canada in pressuring the Chinese Communist Party to reduce carbon.
Macron’s change of heart on Biden’s stage: “Europe should not unite with the U.S. against China”, commented Wang Duran
French President Emmanuel Macron said that even if the European Union and the United States are closer in value, they should not join hands with the United States to fight against the Chinese Communist Party. It is said that his stance is different from the past, as he is “aware of the present but not the past.
In a seminar organized by a U.S. think tank, Macron said that a joint EU-U.S. effort against the Chinese Communist Party would most likely lead to “the most serious conflict,” which he believes would be “counterproductive,” Radio Free Asia reported, citing the U.S. news outlet Politico.
Macron argued that the establishment of a “common front” between Europe and the United States could prompt a reduction in their cooperation with the Chinese Communist regime on issues such as climate change, and feared that hard-line policies would “exacerbate” Chinese provocations in Asia, including the South China Sea.
Macron also said that China is a “partner” on climate change, but that it is also a competitor in trade and industry, stressing that he does not agree with the Chinese Communist Party’s behavior in the “Indo-Pacific region” and its approach to values and human rights, but he did not suggest any other suitable and feasible approach.
Macron’s high-profile defense of the EU-China investment agreement comes despite growing criticism of the agreement, growing evidence of human rights abuses by the Chinese Communist Party in Xinjiang, and critics’ claims that the agreement’s labor rights provisions are weak.
Reaction to Macron’s comments has been generally negative. Theresa Fallon, director of the Center for Russian, European and Asian Studies (CREAS) and a China expert, noted in her tweet, “While Biden vows to reset U.S. foreign policy, France’s Macron and Germany’s Merkel vow not to join the United States in a balanced alliance with China. Analysts ask: Does President Biden have a European problem? The answer is yes.
Veteran media personality Noah Barkin also noted in his tweet: “Macron has urged Trump at least twice in the past to work with Europe to deal with the Chinese Communist Party. I think he changed his mind after Biden took office.
Apollo.com commentator Wang Duyan said that the gap between Biden’s stance on the CCP and Trump’s is huge, and this is well known to politicians in Western societies. Biden’s government said it wants to cooperate with Western allies to confront the CCP, and not only confront, but also cooperate with the CCP. The United States as the leading brother are soft first, Macron can say such words, then privately will compromise more.
A dream from the gods? Poor fishermen found rare pearls rich businessman offered $330,000 to buy
A poor fisherman in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand, had a dream that an old man asked him to walk to the beach and said he would receive a “gift,” and he actually found an extremely rare orange Melo pearl. Now a Chinese buyer is willing to pay 10 million baht (about $332,000) to buy it, so that the fisherman’s Family can live a good Life.
The World Journal quoted the Daily Mail as reporting that Hatchai Niyomdecha, 37, was taking his family to the beach to collect shells on Jan. 27 when he found an abandoned buoy washed ashore with three snail shells and several shells stuck to it.
After Hachai and his brother brought home what they found, his father, who was in charge of cleaning, found a coin-sized orange pearl in the snail shell. Hachai first called his wife and children over to admire it together, and when it was confirmed that the orange pearl was an extremely expensive merlot pearl, even the neighbors came to see what it was all about.
Hachai recalled that he had a strange dream a few days ago, “an old gentleman with a long beard told me to walk to the beach to get a gift, and I think he led me to this pearl”. He thought the old man with the white beard in his dream was a fairy to help him get out of poverty and that “this money would not only change my life, but also my Destiny and our whole family would have a better life.
Unlike the traditional pearls inside oyster shells, merlot pearls are still not available through artificial Culture and are therefore particularly valuable. The colors range from orange, tan to brown, with orange being the most expensive.
A Chinese buyer is now willing to pay 10 million baht for a Merlot pearl found in Nakhon, southern Thailand, by a fisherman from Khachai, Krabi Ratchasima.
