Lawyer Arrested for “Having a Good Way to Reunite the Country Peacefully”
The Chinese mainland has been frequently convicted for their words.
The Twitter account “China Word Prison Incident Inventory” sent out a message on the 5th that Cao Jinwei, a man from Jinyun County, Zhejiang Province, was detained for 5 days for speaking in a WeChat group and saying, “Let Xi do the Chinese dream, let’s do the spring dream” and “jumping from a building and alarming the new Provincial Party Secretary, someone will be unlucky”, was sentenced to 5 days of detention.
The pushers still live inside the walls, he said earlier in an interview with the Voice of America, over the past year, collected nearly 2,000 cases of conviction for their words. These are just the tip of the iceberg. “I want to do everything I can to let the world know about them,” he said, even though he may be the next person to be “inventoried.” There’s no turning back for the day when China is no longer convicted for speaking out.
On May 4, the account posted a message that Cai Zucheng, a lawyer in Longgang City, Zhejiang Province, had been detained for 13 days and fined 1,000 yuan for saying on his Weibo account, “I have a good way to make the motherland reunify peacefully: dissolve the Chinese Communist Party, elect Cai Ing-wen as interim president, and then elect the official president. Cai Zucheng filed an appeal, claiming that he was merely exercising his constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression, but lost the case.
Taiwan and Japanese naval vessels monitor Chinese naval vessels in rare parallel
On May 1, Japan’s Defense Ministry released information that the Chinese Communist Navy’s 054A missile frigate Binzhou entered the western Pacific Ocean through the Miyako Strait from April 30 to May 1. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force deployed an Abukuma-class destroyer escort and two maritime patrol aircraft in the relevant waters.
On the same day, the military Facebook fan page “New‧Elderly Seventh Army Military Miscellany” published an instant satellite photo of the Chinese Navy’s 054A frigate Binzhou in the East China Sea, about 125 kilometers from the city of Keelung, Taiwan, and about 132 kilometers north of the Japanese island of Yonaguni, with Taiwanese and Japanese warships jointly following the surveillance.
Taiwan’s CKS University Institute of Strategic and International Affairs assistant professor Lin Yingyou, 3 said to Radio Free Asia, this shows that Taiwan and Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force has a certain degree of cooperation tacit understanding, Taiwan to participate in the United States, Japan, India and Australia joint military exercises have difficulty, but perhaps have the opportunity to participate in joint military chess exercises.
The entire amphibious assault group fleet of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps is concentrated in East Asia
Dr. Cheng Xiaonong, a Chinese American political and economic expert, disclosed in an opinion article published by the Epoch Times that the U.S. Navy has a total of two amphibious assault group fleets, one based in Okinawa, Japan, with the flagship being the medium-sized aircraft carrier USS America, in order to prevent emergencies in the East China Sea region; the other one used to stay off the Persian Gulf in order to prevent Iranian-made emergencies. The flagship is the medium carrier “USS Makin Island”.
The core of the so-called Amphibious Assault Group fleet is an amphibious assault ship, which is the name given to this type of ship by the U.S. Navy. In fact, it is a medium-sized aircraft carrier, similar in appearance to a large aircraft carrier, and can carry multiple helicopters, as well as land and take off F-35 fighter-bombers. Its main mission is to deliver Marine assault troops to areas of conflict.
It is worth noting that the U.S. Navy has announced that the USS Makin Island amphibious assault group has been transferred out of the Middle East and placed under the command of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. This means that the entire U.S. Navy and Marine Corps amphibious assault group fleet is now deployed around China, a military deployment that provides a direct and clear warning of the strength of the Chinese Communist Party’s military threat in the South and East China Seas.
The USS Makin Island amphibious assault group’s joint exercise with the USS Roosevelt carrier group in the South China Sea is a response to the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to occupy international waters in the South China Sea and to build islands and naval bases.
The USS America amphibious assault group, now based in Okinawa, is responsible for responding to the Chinese Communist threat to Taiwan, while the newly transferred amphibious assault group, the USS Makin Island, seems to be mainly responsible for responding to the Chinese Communist aggression in the South China Sea in the future. “The USS Roosevelt carrier group is mainly a deterrent to the Chinese Communist Party’s activities in the Indo-Pacific region from the air and sea. The “Majindo” amphibious assault group is clearly deterring the Chinese naval ground forces on the naval bases in the international waters of the South China Sea.
“The USS Makin Island amphibious assault group includes the medium-sized aircraft carrier USS Makin Island, the amphibious dock landing ship USS Somerset and the amphibious ship USS San Diego. “The amphibious assault group includes the medium carrier USS Makin Island, the amphibious dock landing ship Somerset and the amphibious transport ship USS San Diego. “The Makin Island carries a helicopter squadron, a light anti-submarine helicopter squadron, a tactical air control squadron, a Marine Corps support landing helicopter squadron, and the strike group also has a ground combat unit consisting of a maritime expeditionary landing team, a detachment of attack boats and an operational logistics battalion.
Beijing may have a big move, no wonder Xi Jinping is distracted
In late April of this year, Xi Jinping went to Guangxi. Xinhua News Agency released his visit to the Red Army Xiangjiang Battle Memorial Park, saying, “Difficult again, think of the Red Army Long March, think of the bloody battle of Xiangjiang River.”
Located in Quanzhou, Guangxi, the Red Army Xiangjiang River Battle Memorial Park is but a place where the Red Army failed miserably. It is inevitable that Xi Jinping has many speculations as to what micro-meaning he wants to express here.
Radio Free Asia contributor Lin Baohua recently wrote that during the Fifth Anti-Surge and the early days of the Long March, the Red Army was commanded by a German officer, Li De (Huafu), a military advisor to the Communist International sent by the Soviet Union. He studied Western military theory and was not familiar with Chinese conditions, which led to discontent among the Red Army. In the first and middle of January 1935, an enlarged meeting of the Politburo was held in Zunyi, Guizhou to liquidate the left-leaning military line. In the first half of January 1935, an enlarged meeting of the Politburo was held in Zunyi, Guizhou, to liquidate the left-leaning military line and change the military command to Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai.
After the CPC Central Committee moved to the Central Soviet Union in 1933, Mao was gradually sidelined and lost his military command and pretended to be sick. During the Red Army’s Long March, he was carried on a stretcher by junior soldiers. Wang Jiaxiang, the director of the Red Army’s Political Department, was also carried on a stretcher because he was wounded, and the two were often delusional about the Central Committee and engaged in sectarian activities as accused by Li De. Wang Jiaxiang, along with General Secretary Bogo, Wang Ming, the representative to the Communist International, and Zhang Wentian, another high ranking member of the CCP, were all internationalists. Wang Jiaxiang was responsible for convincing Zhang Wentian, so they lashed out together at the Zunyi Conference, and also gained the support of Zhou Enlai and other generals. As a result, both Bogu and Li De surrendered the leadership of the Central Secretariat and the military. After Mao Zedong took control of the military leadership, it was only in Yan’an that he again used the rectification to liquidate Wang Ming’s left-leaning political line and unify the party, becoming the real Chairman Mao.
It can be said that without the lessons of the bloody battle of Xiangjiang River there would have been no Zunyi Conference and no subsequent unification of the CCP. Therefore, Xi Jinping compared the current situation of the CCP to the battle of Xiangjiang River, and he is the left-leaning line represented by Bogu and Li De. Is he letting it slip that Beijing will also convene a new-era Zunyi Conference to remove him as general secretary and chairman of the Central Military Commission and liquidate his left-leaning and blind line? No wonder he is so distracted.
Xi Jinping calls himself “the helmsman” after Mao, US intelligence services concerned
After last year’s Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping was given the title of “helmsman” – the highest title of the Mao era – which was analyzed by U.S. intelligence and reported to the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The Washington Times reported on May 3 that U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency Director Scott D. Berrier said this indicates Xi’s continued consolidation of power and his new status, as “helmsman” is the highest authority title used only by Communist Party leader Mao Zedong. The title of “helmsman” is the highest authority ever used by Communist Party leader Mao Zedong.
Late last week, Baril told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, “I think Xi Jinping has a firm grip on control in every aspect of the party, the military and Chinese society.” In his analysis, Xi’s position changed significantly after last October’s Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee.
The official communiqué following last year’s meeting said that with Xi Jinping as “the core to steer the ship,” “we will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles that arise along the way.”
Baril’s analysis: “The communiqué likely marks Xi’s unique political status within the party, where he is referred to as ‘steering the helm,’ a title not used since Mao Zedong.”
Some analysts believe Xi Jinping is planning to consolidate his rule under the extreme Communist Party system, in an apparent attempt to be Mao’s second.
Analysts believe Xi’s escalating cult of the individual has caused widespread concern, given the scourge Mao’s autocracy plus cult of the individual brought to the Chinese people.
The Chinese Communist Party’s Red Generation’s views on the Cultural Revolution sparked a dispute, and the princeling Tao Siliang deleted the article
The “Brief History of the Chinese Communist Party”, published in February this year, combined the Cultural Revolution with the first 17 years of Mao Zedong’s rule, not only the Cultural Revolution is no longer listed, the old version of the Party’s history of the “anti-rightist struggle” in 1957, 58 years of Mao Zedong to “catch up with the United Kingdom and surpass the United States” launched the “Great Leap Forward”. The “Great Leap Forward” in 1978 and Mao Zedong’s “catching up with the United Kingdom and surpassing the United States” in 1958 have all disappeared from the catalog pages. The Great Leap Forward, which resulted in the starvation of 40 million Chinese people, has always been a taboo item for the Chinese Communist Party. In addition, the “People’s Commune Movement”, which deprived the peasants of their land, and the gradual formation of the guiding ideology of “class struggle as a platform” no longer appear.
The new version of the Party history covers up the brutal mass crime of the Cultural Revolution launched by Mao Zedong with so-called “twists and turns”, and uses the CCP’s term “problems in progress” to cover up a heinous crime that caused the death of countless people. The repudiation of the Cultural Revolution and the vindication of Mao’s wrongdoings have been the hallmarks of the CCP’s so-called reform and opening up.
Tao Siliang, a second-generation Communist Party member and daughter of Tao Casting, wrote a reminiscent article in February this year about a gathering of second-generation Communist Party members at the home of the late Communist Party patriarch Ye Jianying in 2007.
Tao Siliang is the daughter of Tao Cast, former Vice Premier of the Communist Party of China. Tao served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee during the Cultural Revolution and as an advisor to the Central Committee on the Cultural Revolution, making him the number four leader of the CPC Central Committee at the time after Mao Zedong, Lin Biao and Zhou Enlai.
Those who went to the party included Mao Zedong’s nephew Mao Yuanxin, Liu Shaoqi’s son Liu Yuan, Deng Xiaoping’s daughter Deng Lin, and Tao Siliang, as well as the children of Peng Zhen, Luo Ruiqing, Lu Dingyi and Yang Shangkun. Many of their fathers were beaten down during the brutal struggle within the Communist Party during the Cultural Revolution. Some of them rose to great heights during the Cultural Revolution.
Tao Siliang claimed that there was only one theme for the gathering, “to smile at each other and die out the feud”, to die out the feud of the Cultural Revolution.
After Tao Siliang posted the article to his WeChat circle of friends, the response was huge. According to an article by media personality Lv Yue, Zhang Jiuyue, daughter of Zhang Dingcheng, posted an article criticizing Tao Siliang’s perspective: enclosing himself in a small circle of “red aristocrats” to enrich himself. Ma Xiaoli and Luo Doudou, second-generation Communist Party members who advocate reflecting on the Cultural Revolution, both wrote private letters to Tao Siliang.
Ma Xiaoli, a former colleague of Tao Siliang in the United Front Work Department, divorced Lin Yanzhi, son of Lin Feng, because of her different stance on the 1989 pro-democracy movement. She thinks some people will always live in the period when they were at their greatest glory, and they will never reflect seriously! If Mao Yuanxin and Li Ne could take the lead to reflect a little, it would be a good education for the general public who believe in Mao to speak up.
She is also critical of Tao Siliang: Liang Liang’s confusion and inner entanglement are on the surface, she always wants to reconcile the enmity of the Red Two with her identity as a mason, always wants to turn the dry grievances into silk and the sword into a plow. In fact, the different experiences before and after the Cultural Revolution have long been divided, each on one end.
Tao Siliang’s article not only set off a storm among the second generation of the Reds, the Internet is almost a scolding.
Under the attack from the left and right, Tao Siliang deleted his article.
Zhu Ziqing did not receive American relief food to starve to death? Originated from an article by Mao Zedong with an ulterior motive
“It has been more than two years since I did not see my father, and what I cannot forget most is his back.” This is the first sentence of modern writer Zhu Ziqing’s essay “The Shadow of the Back”. It is this essay, full of the deep love between father and son, which has influenced one Chinese after another and made people feel the simple, sincere love of their father. Another deep impression of Zhu Ziqing is that he died of starvation because he did not receive American relief food, but this is not the truth.
What led the Chinese to believe that Zhu died of starvation was the ulterior motive of Mao, the top Communist Party leader, who wrote in his article “Farewell, Stanton” on August 18, 1948: “We Chinese have a backbone. Many people who were once liberals and democratic individual liberals stood up to the American imperialists and their lackeys, the Kuomintang reactionaries …… Zhu Ziqing was seriously ill and would rather starve to death than receive ‘relief food’ from the United States …… We should write an ode to Wen Yiduo and an ode to Zhu Ziqing, who showed the heroism of our nation …… “
An article in the book “The Fate of Chinese History” published on the mainland in 2009 points out that in Zhu Ziqing’s diary in 1948, there is also no record of living in hardship due to food shortages, but rather the following: “Drinking a little lotus root powder, I immediately vomited”; “Drinking cow’s milk, but it was very painful “; “ate too much in the evening”; “had a good appetite, but restrained it in the end because of illness”; and “ate too much”.
Just 14 days before his death, on July 29, 1948, the eleventh day after he signed the declaration of refusal to receive “relief food” from the United States, he reminded himself in his diary: “Still greedy for food, need to be careful!
On August 12, 1948, Zhu Ziqing died in Peking University Hospital of a perforated stomach caused by a severe stomach ulcer. However, since Mao Zedong published that article, Zhu Ziqing was “starved to death”.
More than a year after Zhu Ziqing’s death, Zhu’s eldest son, Zhu Maixian, died of injustice shortly afterwards.
He was sentenced to death by a court in Xinning County, Hunan Province, for the crime of “banditry” during the “suppression of counter-revolution” campaign launched by the Chinese Communist Party in November 1951, and was executed immediately at the age of 33, leaving behind three young children.
In 1984, Zhu Maixian’s wrongful death was found to be a wrongful conviction and his “honor” was restored by the Chinese Communist government.
