"The fundamental purpose of the party unity to lead the people in revolution, construction, and reform is to enable the people to live a good life, no matter how much challenge and pressure they face, no matter how much sacrifice and cost they pay, this is unswerving and unwavering."

General Secretary Xi Jinping ’s important speech when he participated in the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation on the afternoon of May 22 triggered a warm response from the representatives. Everyone unanimously stated that we must conscientiously implement the spirit of General Secretary Jinping ’s important speech, insist on the supremacy of the people, rely on the people closely, continuously benefit the people, firmly root the people, and implement them in all decisions and deployment and practical work. Do a good job in the overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, ensure the completion of the task of achieving a decisive victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way, and decisive battle against poverty.

Protect people's lives and health at all costs

After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia, the Party Central Committee made epidemic prevention and control a top priority. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally directed and personally deployed and insisted on putting people ’s lives and health in the first place. Dean Gu Jin, Dean of Shougang Hospital of Peking University, said, "It is very difficult for us, a developing country with a population of 1.4 billion, to effectively control the epidemic and protect people's basic lives in a relatively short period of time."

Deputy Gu Jin believed that General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "the people are supreme, life is supreme, and protecting people's lives and health can be done at all costs." This is a vivid expression of adhering to the people-centered development thinking. He suggested strengthening the links between tertiary hospitals, communities, and families, strengthening the emergency response role of the medical consortium in major public health events, building a joint prevention and control mechanism for acute infectious diseases, and better protecting people's health.

After the outbreak, in accordance with the requirements of the Party Central Committee, we have adopted a series of decisive measures to cut off the transmission of the virus and do everything possible to treat patients. Zhang Hongchun, director of the health department of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that after the outbreak, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital sent six batches of 164 medical teams in response to the call to bring the best medical staff and the best equipment to the front line. During his stay in Wuhan, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital's National Aid Medical Team has treated a total of 100 critically ill patients.

"No political party like the Communist Party of China can make concerted efforts and make concerted efforts, and it will not be possible to become capable again and again." Representative Song Zhangjun, president of the People's Hospital of Shaanxi Province, believes that the sudden new coronary pneumonia epidemic is a national governance system and governance. A big test of ability. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, the Chinese people are united to fight against the epidemic, and the epidemic prevention and control of the war has achieved major strategic results. Once again, the facts of iron have proved the powerful advantages and tremendous vitality of the national system and national governance system.

In the crisis response, master the initiative of the work and fight the development initiative

This epidemic has caused great impact and impact on China's economic and social development, and has also bred new opportunities. To be proactive, not only based on the present, but also take a long-term view, grasp the initiative in work in the response to the crisis, and fight the development initiative.

"The general secretary's important speech made us very encouraged. The epidemic cannot last forever. The trend of economic globalization will continue to move forward in the future. The most important thing is to improve our core competitiveness." Vice Chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, TCL Chairman Li Dongsheng's representative believes that "enterprises should actively build a competitive and stable industrial chain and supply chain."

Ding Zuohong, member of the Standing Committee of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yuexing Group, said, "At present, the international situation is complicated, but we can see the" opportunities "after the" crisis ". China has a large economy, strong market resilience, and great room for maneuver. The development potential is sufficient. This is the confidence and confidence to turn "crisis" into "opportunity."

The representative of Bo Yan, the mayor of Bozhou City, Anhui Province, believes that this year we should closely follow the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, take "six guarantees" as the focus of this year's "six stability" work, and make job stability the top priority.

With the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the situation of resuming production and resuming production of manufacturing-end enterprises has improved significantly. Representative of Lianchun Wang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jiangsu Yueda Group, believes that to take this opportunity to promote the steady growth of China's auto industry and promote transformation, it is urgent to work together on both sides of supply and demand to promote transformation and upgrading.

Solve practical problems that the masses care about

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must always take people's livelihood, safety and security in mind, and work hard to solve practical problems such as employment, education, social security, medical care, housing, old-age care, food safety, and social security that the masses care about. Grasp the implementation and work year after year to make the masses see the changes and get benefits.

Representative Lei Jinyu, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Houmenping Village, Banzhong She Nationality Township, Fuan City, Fujian Province, said: "The General Secretary ’s important speech has made clear the work of the people who are most concerned about poverty alleviation, rural revitalization, and improvement of people ’s livelihood. Instructions and strong deployment. "

In the past year, Houmenping Village not only achieved a complete poverty alleviation, but also completed the construction of a cultural square, She Nationality Farming Cultural Exhibition Hall and the renovation of the facade of a new residential building of 2,800 square meters. The village looks new and the village collective income from The original 30,000 yuan increased to 100,000 yuan, and the per capita income of the villagers exceeded 18,000 yuan. "Now, everyone's willingness to stay in the village to live and develop is stronger, and they have more confidence in the development of the village in the future. Solving practical problems with painstaking efforts is to bring a real sense of gain to the people." Lei Representative Jin Yu said.

We must think about what the masses think, worry about what the masses are worried about, and solve their difficulties. "As a grassroots cadre, I must put these requirements into concrete work, and focus on one by one the issues that concern the people, such as employment, education, social security, medical care, housing, pension, food safety, social security, etc. The work is done well and done, responding to the concerns of the masses with visible and tangible changes, so that the masses can benefit and be really satisfied. "Representative Lei Jiankun, Mayor of Yangquan City, Shanxi Province said.

Continue to fight the battle of blue sky, clear water and pure land

"General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that 'continuously defending the battle of blue sky, clear water and pure land' is not only a request to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, but also a requirement for the whole country. This year is the year of ending the battle to defend the blue sky. The world has fulfilled its commitment to preventing and controlling air pollution. "Wang Shuhua, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Wu'an Yuhua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Hebei Province, introduced that Jinan Iron and Steel Group has achieved national ultra-low emission standards two years in advance, and will further fulfill its social responsibilities Govern the enterprise in depth and build a green factory.

"Environmental protection investment and economic development are organically unified and mutually reinforcing." Commissioner Liu Bingjiang, director of the Department of Atmospheric Environmental Management of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that after the outbreak, some views believed that environmental protection should "give way" and "relax" for economic development. This is against the direction of green development. When attending the Inner Mongolia delegation's deliberations, General Secretary Xi Jinping particularly emphasized that "we must maintain the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization", which pointed out the direction and strengthened the confidence for environmentalists.

Zhou Shaozheng, secretary of the Fuling District Committee of Chongqing, said that Fuling should continue to take green development as the guide and protect the Yangtze River ecology, especially to resolutely manage and use the wharves along the river, protect the Yangtze River shoreline, and continue to build a green barrier and develop green industries. Build a green homeland as a starting point, and make unremitting efforts to win the three defense battles of blue sky, clear water and pure land.

"General Secretary Xi Jinping requested that the great green wall of the motherland's northern Xinjiang be built more firmly." Representative Li Dayi, secretary of the Daxinganling District Committee of Heilongjiang Province, said that he would insist on development subordination to protection, protection and service to development, and work hard to improve the "landscape". This big game accelerates the cultivation of eco-led industries such as the management and protection zone economy, tourism economy, ice and snow economy, and carbon sink economy, vigorously develops the online economy and e-commerce online red economy, and strives to continuously transform "green water and green mountains" into "Jinshan Yinshan".

Some timely history

Tiananmen: The Massacre that Wasn’t
By Brian BeckerJun 03, 2020

Tiananmen: The Massacre that Wasn’t

Image
An armored vehicle in flames during the June 4, 1989 protests in Beijing

Liberation News is republishing the following article originally posted in 2014 to answer the lies spread by the U.S. government and its loyal corporate media outlets about China on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of the 1989 events in Tiananmen Square. While the mythology around this incident has always been promoted as part of the U.S. ruling class’s hostility to the Chinese revolution led by the Communist Party, the distortion now takes on renewed significance as the United States has declared “great power competition” primarily with China to be the defining feature of its military and foreign policy. We hope this article will equip progressive people with the information needed to resist the demonization campaign targeting China that is a necessary precursor to deadly confrontation.

Twenty-five years ago today, every U.S. media outlet, along with then President Bush and the U.S. Congress were whipping up a full scale frenzied hysteria and attack against the Chinese government for what was described as the cold-blooded massacre of many thousands of non-violent “pro-democracy” students who had occupied Tiananmen Square for seven weeks.

The hysteria generated about the Tiananmen Square “massacre” was based on a fictitious narrative about what actually happened when the Chinese government finally cleared the square of protestors on June 4, 1989.

The demonization of China was highly effective. Nearly all sectors of U.S. society, including most of the “left,” accepted the imperialist presentation of what happened.

At the time the Chinese government’s official account of the events was immediately dismissed out of hand as false propaganda. China reported that about 300 people had died in clashes on June 4 and that many of the dead were soldiers of the Peoples Liberation Army. China insisted that there was no massacre of students in Tiananmen Square and in fact the soldiers cleared Tiananmen Square of demonstrators without any shooting.i

The Chinese government also asserted that unarmed soldiers who had entered Tiananmen Square in the two days prior to June 4 were set on fire and lynched with their corpses hung from buses. Other soldiers were incinerated when army vehicles were torched with soldiers unable to evacuate and many others were badly beaten by violent mob attacks.

These accounts were true and well documented. It would not be difficult to imagine how violently the Pentagon and U.S. law enforcement agencies would have reacted if the Occupy movement, for instance, had similarly set soldiers and police on fire, taken their weapons and lynched them when the government was attempting to clear them from public spaces.

In an article on June 5, 1989, the Washington Post described how anti-government fighters had been organized into formations of 100-150 people. They were armed with Molotov cocktails and iron clubs, to meet the PLA who were still unarmed in the days prior to June 4.

What happened in China, what took the lives of government opponents and of soldiers on June 4, was not a massacre of peaceful students but a battle between PLA soldiers and armed detachments from the so-called pro-democracy movement.

On one avenue in western Beijing, demonstrators torched an entire military convoy of more than 100 trucks and armored vehicles. Aerial pictures of conflagration and columns of smoke have powerfully bolstered the [Chinese] government’s arguments that the troops were victims, not executioners. Other scenes show soldiers’ corpses and demonstrators stripping automatic rifles off unresisting soldiers,” admitted the Washington Post in a story that was favorable to anti-government opposition on June 12, 1989.ii

The Wall Street Journal, the leading voice of anti-communism, served as a vociferous cheerleader for the “pro-democracy” movement. Yet, their coverage right after June 4 acknowledged that many “radicalized protesters, some now armed with guns and vehicles commandeered in clashes with the military” were preparing for larger armed struggles. The Wall Street Journal report on the events of June 4 portrays a vivid picture:

“As columns of tanks and tens of thousands soldiers approached Tiananmen many troops were set on by angry mobs … [D]ozens of soldiers were pulled from trucks, severely beaten and left for dead. At an intersection west of the square, the body of a young soldier, who had beaten to death, was stripped naked and hung from the side of a bus. Another soldier’s corpse was strung at an intersection east of the square.”iii

The massacre that wasn’t

In the days immediately after June 4, 1989, the New York Times headlines, articles and editorials used the figure that “thousands” of peaceful activists had been massacred when the army sent tanks and soldiers into the Square. The number that the Times was using as an estimate of dead was 2,600. That figure was used as the go-to number of student activists who were mowed down in Tiananmen. Almost every U.S. media outlet reported “many thousands” killed. Many media outlets said as many 8,000 had been slaughtered.

Tim Russert, NBC’s Washington Bureau Chief, appearing later on Meet the Press said “tens of thousands” died in Tiananmen Square.iv

The fictionalized version of the “massacre” was later corrected in some very small measure by Western reporters who had participated in the fabrications and who were keen to touch up the record so that they could say they made “corrections.” But by then it was too late and they knew that too. Public consciousness had been shaped. The false narrative became the dominant narrative. They had successfully massacred the facts to fit the political needs of the U.S. government.

“Most of the hundreds of foreign journalists that night, including me, were in other parts of the city or were removed from the square so that they could not witness the final chapter of the student story. Those who tried to remain close filed dramatic accounts that, in some cases, buttressed the myth of a student massacre,” wrote Jay Mathews, the Washington Post’s first Bureau Chief in Beijing, in a 1998 article in the Columbia Journalism Review.

Mathews’ article, which includes his own admissions to using the terminology of the Tiananmen Square massacre, came nine years after the fact and he acknowledged that corrections later had little impact. “The facts of Tiananmen have been known for a long time. When Clinton visited the square this June, both The Washington Post and The New York Times explained that no one died there [in Tiananmen Square] during the 1989 crackdown. But these were short explanations at the end of long articles. I doubt that they did much to kill the myth.”v

At the time all of the reports about the massacre of the students said basically the same thing and thus it seemed that they must be true. But these reports were not based on eyewitness testimony.

What really happened

For seven weeks leading up to June 4, the Chinese government was extraordinarily restrained in not confronting those who paralyzed the center of China’s central capital area. The Prime Minister met directly with protest leaders and the meeting was broadcast on national television. This did not defuse the situation but rather emboldened the protest leaders who knew that they had the full backing of the United States.

The protest leaders erected a huge statue that resembled the United States’ Statue of Liberty in the middle of Tiananmen Square. They were signaling to the entire world that their political sympathies were with the capitalist countries and the United States in particular. They proclaimed that they would continue the protests until the government was ousted.

With no end in sight the Chinese leadership decided to end the protests by clearing Tiananmen Square. Troops came into the Square without weapons on June 2 and many soldiers were beaten, some were killed and army vehicles were torched.

On June 4, the PLA re-entered the Square with weapons. According to the U.S. media accounts of the time that is when machine gun toting PLA soldiers mowed down peaceful student protests in a massacre of thousands.

China said that reports of the “massacre” in Tiananmen Square were a fabrication created both by Western media and by the protest leaders who used a willing Western media as a platform for an international propaganda campaign in their interests.

On June 12, 1989, eight days after the confrontation, the New York Times published an “exhaustive” but in fact fully fabricated eyewitness report of the Tiananmen Massacre by a student, Wen Wei Po. It was full of detailed accounts of brutality, mass murder, and heroic street battles. It recounted PLA machine gunners on the roof of Revolutionary Museum overlooking the Square and students being mowed down in the Square. This report was picked up by media throughout the U.S.vi

Although treated as gospel and irrefutable proof that China was lying, the June 12 “eyewitness” report by Wen Wei Po was so over the top and would so likely discredit the New York Times in China that the Times correspondent in Beijing, Nicholas Kristof, who had served as a mouthpiece for the protestors, took exception to the main points in the article.

Kristof wrote in a June 13, 1989 article,

“The question of where the shootings occurred has significance because of the Government’s claim that no one was shot on Tiananmen Square. State television has even shown film of students marching peacefully away from the square shortly after dawn as proof that they were not slaughtered. …

The central scene in the [eyewitness] article is of troops beating and machine-gunning unarmed students clustered around the Monument to the People’s Heroes in the middle of Tiananmen Square. Several other witnesses, both Chinese and foreign, say this did not happen. …

There is also no evidence of machine-gun emplacements on the roof of the history museum that were reported in the Wen Wei Po article. This reporter was directly north of the museum and saw no machine guns there. Other reporters and witnesses in the vicinity also failed to see them. …

“The central theme of the Wen Wei Po article was that troops subsequently beat and machine-gunned students in the area around the monument and that a line of armored vehicles cut off their retreat. But the witnesses say that armored vehicles did not surround the monument – they stayed at the north end of the square – and that troops did not attack students clustered around the monument. Several other foreign journalists were near the monument that night as well and none are known to have reported that students were attacked around the monument.”vii

The Chinese government’s account acknowledges that street fighting and armed clashes occurred in nearby neighborhoods. They say that approximately three hundred died that night including many soldiers who died from gunfire, Molotov cocktails and beatings. But they have insisted that there was no massacre.

Kristof too says that there were clashes on several streets but refutes the “eyewitness” report about a massacre of students in Tiananmen Square: “the students and a pop singer, Hou Dejian, were negotiating with the troops and decided to leave at dawn, between 5 A.M. and 6 A.M. The students all filed out together. Chinese television has shown scenes of the students leaving and of the apparently empty square as troops moved in as the students left.”

Attempted counter-revolution in China

In fact, the U.S. government was actively involved in promoting the “pro-democracy” protests through an extensive, well-funded, internationally coordinated propaganda machine that pumped out rumors, half-truths and lies from the moment the protests started in mid-April 1989.

The goal of the U.S. government was to carry out regime change in China and overthrow the Communist Party of China which had been the ruling party since the 1949 revolution. Since many activists in today’s progressive movement were not alive or were young children at the time of the Tiananmen incident in 1989, the best recent example of how such an imperialist destabilization/regime change operation works is revealed in the recent overthrow of the Ukrainian government. Peaceful protests in the downtown square receive international backing, financing and media support from the United States and Western powers; they eventually come under the leadership of armed groups who are hailed as freedom fighters by the Wall Street Journal, FOX News and other media; and finally the government targeted for overthrow by the CIA is fully demonized if it uses police or military forces.

In the case of the “pro-democracy” protests in China in 1989 the U.S. government was attempting to create a civil war. The Voice of America increased its Chinese language broadcasts to 11 hours each day and targeted the broadcast “directly to about 2,000 satellite dishes in China operated mostly by the Peoples Liberation Army.”viii

The Voice of America broadcasts to PLA units were filled with reports that some PLA units were firing on others and different units were loyal to the protestors and others with the government.

The Voice of America and U.S. media outlets tried to create confusion and panic among government supporters. Just prior to June 4 they reported that China’s Prime Minister Li Peng had been shot and that Deng Xiaoping was near death.

Most in the U.S. government and in the media expected the Chinese government to be toppled by pro-Western political forces as was starting to happening with the overthrow of socialist governments throughout Eastern and Central Europe at the time (1988-1991) following the introduction of pro-capitalist reforms by Gorbachev in the Soviet Union in 1991.

In China, the “pro-democracy” protest movement was led by privileged, well-connected students from elite universities who were explicitly calling for the replacement of socialism with capitalism. The leaders were particularly connected to the United States. Of course, thousands of other students who participated in the protests were in the Square because they had grievances against the government.

But the imperialist-connected leadership of the movement had an explicit plan to topple the government. Chai Ling, who was recognized as the top leader of the students, gave an interview to Western reporters on the eve of June 4 in which she acknowledged that the goal of the leadership was to lead the population in a struggle to topple the Communist Party of China, which she explained would only be possible if they could successfully provoke the government into violently attacking the demonstrations. That interview was aired in the film the “Gate of Heavenly Peace.” Chai Ling also explained why they couldn’t tell the rank and file student protestors about the leaders’ real plans.

“The pursuit of wealth is part of the impetus for democracy,” explained another top student leader Wang Dan, in an interview with the Washington Post in 1993, on the fourth anniversary of the incident. Wang Dan was in all the U.S. media before and after the Tiananmen incident. He was famous for explaining why the elitist student leaders didn’t want Chinese workers joining their movement. He stated “the movement is not ready for worker participation because democracy must first be absorbed by the students and intellectuals before they can spread it to others.”ix

Twenty-five years later – U.S. still seeks regime change and counter-revolution in China

The action by the Chinese government to disperse the so-called pro-democracy movement in 1989 was met with bitter frustration within the United States political establishment.

The U.S. imposed economic sanctions on China at first, but their impact was minimal and both the Washington political establishment and the Wall Street banks realized that U.S. corporations and banks would be the big losers in the 1990’s if they tried to completely isolate China when China was further opening its vast domestic labor and commodities market to the direct investment from Western corporations. The biggest banks and corporations put their own profit margins first and the Washington politicians took their cue from the billionaire class on this question.

But the issue of counter-revolution in China will rear its head again. The economic reforms that were inaugurated after the death of Mao opened the country to foreign investment. This development strategy was designed to rapidly overcome the legacy of poverty and under-development by the import of foreign technology. In exchange the Western corporations received mega profits. The post-Mao leadership in the Communist Party calculated that the strategy would benefit China by virtue of a rapid technology transfer from the imperialist world to China. And indeed China has made great economic strides. But in addition to economic development there has also developed a larger capitalist class inside of China and a significant portion of that class and their children are being wooed by all types of institutions financed by the U.S. government, U.S. financial institutions and U.S. academic centers.

The Communist Party of China is also divided into pro-U.S. and pro-socialist factions and tendencies.

Today, the United States government is applying ever greater military pressure on China. It is accelerating the struggle against China’s rise by cementing new military and strategic alliances with other Asian countries. It is also hoping that with enough pressure some in the Chinese leadership who favor abandoning North Korea will get the upper hand.

If counter-revolution were to succeed in China the consequences would be catastrophic for the Chinese people and for China. China would in all likelihood splinter as a nation as happened to the Soviet Union when the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was toppled. The same fate befell the former Yugoslavia. Counter-revolution and dismemberment would hurtle China backwards. It would put the brakes on China’s spectacular peaceful rise out of under-development. For decades there has been a serious discussion within the U.S. foreign policy establishment about the dismemberment of China which would weaken China as a nation and allow the United States and Western powers to seize its most lucrative parts. This is precisely the scenario that cast China into its century of humiliation when Western capitalist powers dominated the country.x

The Chinese Revolution has gone through many stages, victories, retreats and setbacks. Its contradictions are innumerable. But still it stands. In the confrontation between world imperialism and the Peoples Republic of China, progressive people should know where they stand – it is not on the sidelines.

China issues report on human rights violations in US
Xinhua | Updated: 2020-03-13 16:17

BEIJING - China on Friday issued a report on the human rights violations in the United States.

Titled "The Record of Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2019," the report said the facts detailed in the document show that "in recent years, especially since 2019, the human rights situation in the United States has been poor and deteriorating".

The report was released by the State Council Information Office based on published data, media reports and research findings.

Consisting of foreword and seven chapters, it detailed facts on human rights violations in the United States relevant to civil and political rights, social and economic rights, discrimination suffered by ethnic minorities, discrimination and violence against women, living conditions of vulnerable groups, and abuses suffered by migrants, as well as US violations of human rights in other countries.

US women face severe discrimination, violence

Women in the United States still face systematic, broad and institutional discrimination, with shocking overt and covert gender discrimination in various forms, the report said.

Women in the United States were 21 times more likely to die by firearm homicide than women in peer nations, it noted, adding that sexual assault cases against women kept increasing.

Wealth polarization in US hits 50-year high

The gap between rich and poor in the United States hit a 50-year high in 2018 as the Gini Index of the country grew to 0.485.

Citing various media reports and public records, the Record of Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2019 said the increasing consolidation of wealth in the hands of a few has gone beyond what many Americans deem to be justified or morally acceptable.

In 2018, the richest 10 percent held 70 percent of total household wealth. The bottom 50 percent saw essentially zero net gains in wealth over the past 30 years, driving their already meager share of total wealth down to just 1 percent from 4 percent, who are literally getting crushed by the weight of rising inequalities, according to the document.

The basic trend of widening income gap in the United States is casting negative influences on the enjoyment and realization of human rights, said the report.

The main reason for this trend is structural, which is determined by the political system of the United States and the capital interests, adding that the US government not only lacks the political will to eliminate these structural causes, but also continuously introduces policies and measures to strengthen them.

In the United States, "the persistence of extreme poverty is a political choice made by those in power," said the report, citing Philip G. Alston, United Nation special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.

While some 39.7 million people living in poverty in 2018, the US Congress has refused to raise the federal minimum wage of 7.25 US dollars per hour for a decade.

In the meantime, the health gap between the United States and countries with the same level of development continues to widen, as 13.7 percent of US adults were uninsured at the end of 2018, up from 10.9 percent at the end of 2016, said the report.

The lack of restraint in the right to hold guns has led to rampant gun violence, posing a serious threat to citizens' life and property safety in the United States.

"The United States is a country with the worst gun violence in the world," read the report, which was released by the State Council Information Office, based on data, media reports and research findings.

The number of mass killings in the United States hit a record high of 415 in 2019, with more than one happening for every day of the year, the report noted.

In total, 39,052 people died from gun-related violence in the United States in 2019 and a person is killed with a gun in the United States every 15 minutes, it said.

"Politics has led to a proliferation of guns," the report said, noting that the manufacture, sale and use of guns in the United States is a huge industrial chain, forming a huge interest group. Interest groups such as the National Rifle Association made large political donations for presidential and congressional elections.

The intertwined drawbacks of party politics, election politics and money politics make it difficult for the legislative and executive authorities in the United States to do anything about gun control, only allowing the situation to deteriorate, according to the report.

Citing figures from US media, the report noted that the United States has far more guns than any other country and in 2017 the estimated number of civilian-owned firearms in the United States was 120.5 guns per 100 residents, meaning there were more firearms than people.

Immigrants suffer inhumane treatment in US

Decades of US intervention in its "backyard" Latin America directly led to the worsening of the immigration problems in the Americas.

In recent years, the US government had adopted increasingly strict and inhumane measures against immigrants, in particular the "zero-tolerance" policy which caused the separations of many immigrant families, the report read.

Many unaccompanied immigrant children were held in overcrowded facilities, without access to adequate healthcare or food, and with poor sanitation conditions, the report said.

It noted grave abuses at detention facilities for immigrants, including injecting them with sedatives, keeping them in handcuffs and depriving them of clothing and mattresses.

The frequent human rights violations of immigrants by the United States have been severely condemned by the international community, the report added.

US vulnerable groups living in difficulties

Tens of millions of US children, elder people, and disabled people live without enough food or clothing, and face threats of violence, bullying, abusing and drugs.

The US government not only has insufficient political will to improve the conditions for vulnerable groups, but also keeps cutting relevant funding projects.

While levels of extreme poverty worldwide had dropped dramatically, the poverty ratio of US children was about the same rate as 30 years ago, according to the report.

It also noted that one in four Americans with disabilities faced unique challenges in securing employment and establishing financial security.

Barrier-free environment in the United States is under poor construction, it added.

Ethnic minorities suffer from bullying in US

The political structure and ideology of white supremacy in the United States have caused ethnic minorities to suffer all-round discrimination in various fields such as politics, economy, culture and social life.

In essence, the United States is still a country of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants, where all other races, ethnic groups, and religious and cultural communities endure various levels of discrimination.

Since 2016, white supremacy in the United States has shown a resurgence trend, leading to racial opposition and hatred, said the report.

As a vestige of slavery and racial segregation, African American adults are 5.9 times more likely to be incarcerated than white adults, said the report, adding that racial inequality in the workplace and people's livelihood have not improved.

The report said that occupational segregation and the persistent devaluation of workers of color are a direct result of intentional government policy.

In the meantime, race-related and anti-religious hate crime climbs to a higher level in the United States in recent years, said the report.

It also highlighted the infringement on the rights of Native Americans, who usually experience more deaths, poverty and higher unemployment rates.

US tramples on human rights in other countries

The United States was responsible for many humanitarian disasters around the world.

The United States had been engaged in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen, causing enormous civilian casualties and property losses.

The United States hindered the International Criminal Court (ICC) from carrying out its duties to investigate the alleged war crimes committed by the United States, threatening the ICC staff with fund freeze and economic sanctions.

The economic embargo against Cuba and the unilateral sanctions against Venezuela imposed by the United States had been a massive and flagrant violation of the human rights of people in these countries.

The United States withdrew from several multilateral mechanisms, including the UN Human Rights Council and the UN Global Compact on Migration, shirking off its international obligations and making troubles to the international governance system.

June 7, 2020

China has announced the suspension of debt repayment for 77 developing countries and regions as the nation is working with other G20 members to carry out the G20 debt relief initiative for low-income countries, Chinese officials said at a press briefing at the State Council Information Office on Sunday.

China announced in May that it would provide $2 billion over two years to help other countries respond to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Ma Zhaoxu, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that the fund will be not only include medical supplies, but also support other countries restart their economies and development. Ma made the comment at the press briefing to release the white paper titled “Fighting COVID-19 China in Action.”

The fund includes both bilateral aid and multilateral donations, according to Ma.

China is negotiating bilateral aid with recipient countries in need in an equal manner to identify assisting projects to help developing nations improve public health standards, improve their livelihoods and resume their economies, Ma said.

China has made multilateral donations to the World Health Organization (WHO) of $50 million, and has provided assistance to global organizations including the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization. China also actively assisted in the fundraising event organized by the Solidarity Response Fund of the WHO in China.

Ma also revealed at the press briefing that China’s cooperation mechanism with 30 African hospitals is currently in the process of being set up.

The white paper released on Sunday shows a record of China’s efforts in its own fight against the virus, explains its experience with the rest of the world, and clarifies its ideas on how to combat the virus globally.

A Beijing municipal government official said Tuesday the city plans to roll out sweeping nucleic acid tests for residents living near a produce market in the capital's Xicheng district, after a market employee was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 on Sunday.

Li Yi, deputy head of the district government, said at a news conference in Beijing that testing sites would be set up in the neighborhood to cover all residents, to facilitate epidemic control measures including home isolation or quarantine at designated sites.

The move came after local authorities on Sunday shuttered and disinfected the Guangwai Tiantao Honglian Produce Market, where an infected employee was found to have travelled to the Xinfadi produce market, a recent hotspot in southern Beijing.

Li said 62 market employees and nearby residents have been put in isolation and tested negative for the novel coronavirus. Seven residential communities near the market have been put on lockdown since 2 am, with volunteers designated to meet their needs for daily supplies.

People who have traveled near the Xinfadi market since May 30 were required to contact neighborhood authorities for testing and isolation, he added.

Decisiveness, testing, contact tracing, isolation: how it is done. Compare this to the prez's latest lunacy. (he neither knows nor cares. His class peers do know, but don't care either.)

By Zhou Huiying in Harbin | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2020-06-17 20:33

They also will receive four nucleic acid tests and antibody detection before finishing quarantine.

The provincial government also urged all residents to avoid travelling to Beijing.

Except for Beijing, 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country have started taking strengthened epidemic prevention and control measures.

China firmly opposes Xinjiang-related bill signed by Trump
By ZHOU JIN | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2020-06-18 10:28

China expressed opposition on Thursday to the so-called Uygur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 signed into law by the United States President Donald Trump, urging Washington to correct its mistakes, or it will face countermeasures from Beijing and bear all consequences.

The bill defames human rights situation in Xinjiang, attacks the Chinese government's policies to Xinjiang, tramples on international law and basic norms governing international relations and interferes in China's internal affairs, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

China demanded the US to stop using the bill to damage China's interests and interfere in its domestic affairs, the statement said.

The anti-terrorism and de-radicalization efforts of various countries should not be measured with different standards, nor should the efforts be deliberately distorted in violation of international morality and human conscience, it said.

The bill disregarded facts and confused right and wrong, and attempted to stigmatize the measures taken in Xinjiang to fight against terrorism, secessionism and extremism, it said.

The double standard approach adopted by the US on anti-terrorism has further exposed its evil intentions to damage to China's sovereignty and security, sow discord among China's ethnic groups, undermine the prosperity and stability of Xinjiang, and contain the development of China, it added.

China steps on the gas to break the dollar and puts the United States on the ropes
Mission Truth
Jun 29 · 5 min read

In recent months we have witnessed an increase in trade, political and diplomatic tensions between the United States and the People's Republic of China.
This great geopolitical confrontation, stimulated by Donald Trump once installed in the White House, has had one of its last episodes in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, epicenter of a separatist and anti-Chinese movement that has had the political support of the United States. before and after his jump to the fore.
A few days ago, the US Senate enacted a law that gives rise to the application of unilateral sanctions against senior Chinese officials in response to the preparations for the security law for Hong Kong , by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (the Chinese Legislative).
With this legal instrument, the government of the People's Republic aspires to contain the cycle of overflowing violence carried out by separatist leaders financed by the West, thus allowing the return to stability of Hong Kong and the guarantee of the principle "One country, two systems", central paradigm of the national unity of the Asian giant.
China has responded strongly to the illegal and interfering measures that Washington has promoted, announcing the restriction of visas against US citizens and officials who commit acts of interference on the current situation in Hong Kong.

Thus, the tension between the two powers has risen one more step and China's countermeasures announce that patience is running out after Washington's intrusive behavior.
But underneath this diplomatic confrontation, even more decisive movements are taking place. What is not in plain sight is almost always the most important thing.
Although China maintains foreign assets and large investments denominated in dollars (an estimated 2 trillion in total), economic leaders of the Asian giant are betting on a reconfiguration in the face of the uncertainty of the dollar: denominate those assets in renminbi (official name of the yuan) as part of the internationalization strategy of the Chinese currency.
Recently, Fang Xinghai, vice president of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, has stated that economic institutions are preparing to “disconnect” from the traditional dollar payment system, since as tensions grow, these platforms can be used as a political and economic weapon to harm China.
On the other hand, Tang Jianwei, chief analyst at the BoCom Financial Research Center at a major national financial institution, warns that China must overcome the barriers of the SWIFT system with the aim of massifying the yuan, a measure that has been taking place since 2015. with the creation of the China International Payment System (CIPS) and which has now taken on greater importance, given that the US will not hesitate to cut China's access to SWIFT in the context of an escalation due to the situation in Hong Kong.
Jianwei views the launch of Facebook's cryptocurrency Libra with caution, as it could replace the dollar as a global reserve currency in a timeframe difficult to estimate, as the megacorporation faces regulators and national laws to leverage its ambitious project.
In response to these rearrangements in the world economy, China successfully completed the development of its digital yuan, issued by the People's Bank of China , last week .
The new national cryptocurrency is inserted into a novel electronic payment mechanism based on blockchain technology to trade conventional currencies and other crypto assets.
As reported by BoxMining , the objective of this virtual currency is to "increase the circulation of the renminbi and [its] international reach, in the hope that the renminbi [will become] a global currency like the US dollar."
The launch of the cryptoactive and the new payment system represents a challenge for the supremacy of the US dollar, and it has already begun its first stage of operation in large cities in China.

On this Cao Yin, a leader of the Blockachain industry in China, pointed out that with the new system an international alternative to SWIFT will be created, preventing Washington from imposing unilateral sanctions with the aim of economically harming participants in the platform.
These initiatives to reduce the political hegemony of the US dollar represent a central key to the current geopolitical conflict:
"The geopolitical confrontation of the world powers is mainly based on economic rivalry, and here all the methods, as we see, are good. Countries perceive threats of sanctions, including disconnections from international payment systems. Some are forced to wait for their positions to be softened, while others, on the contrary, are taking measures to guarantee independence in the event of force majeure, ”financial expert Mikhail Zeltser told the Russian newspaper VZGLYAD .
Amidst the containment of the Covid-19 pandemic, China has stepped on the accelerator in creating a financial alternative independent of the West, given that the conflict with the United States will very likely escalate in the short and medium term as a result of the tensions. around Hong Kong.
Washington has used the dollar and unilateral sanctions as weapons of war against rival countries. However, while making excessive use of this tool, it is also digging the grave for the supremacy of the dollar: countries that are in the sights of Washington's economic war are proposing financial alternatives and new mechanisms that weaken the main resource of power of the American Empire. The green ticket.
One more sign that the end of US world dominance is near.
