Revelations that live prisoners of conscience are being harvested for their organs come hot on the heels of calls by world medical bodies, to snub the Chinese Medical Association.
Disturbing evidence brought to light this month by a seminal Australian National University (ANU) report that doctors were required to become executioners in the opaque underworld of so-called “organ tourism” has added more fuel to long held suspicionsby world medical bodies, that China is flagrantly breaking every ethical rule in the book and shows no sign of stopping.
Unlike in China, where police officers who kill or “disappear” Uyghurs such as Imammemet Ali are not punished, in the U.S. the officer who killed Floyd went to jail.
Whataboutism is becoming a daily shield for China when it confront criticism by western countries, especially by USA over the ongoing Uyghur Genocide. Russia uses the same arguments when accused of atrocities in Ukraine. I urge Chinese and Russian officials to accept the truth. Water is not an effective shield against the sun’s more harmful rays. Although the Russian arguments are similar, I will focus here on China.
Simulations show autonomous drone swarms paired with manned platforms could thwart a Chinese invasion of Taiwan
The US Air Force has conducted simulations in cooperation with think tanks that reportedly showed the effectiveness of drone swarms in defending Taiwan against a possible Chinese invasion.
David Ochmanek, a defense researcher at the RAND Corporation think tank, highlighted in an online discussion last week the short time window in which US and allied forces must respond in event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. “US and allied forces may have as few as a week to 10 days to either defeat this invasion or accept the fait accompli,” he said.
Premier Li Keqiang is emphasizing “job creation and economic stimulus” while President Xi sticks doggedly to his “zero-Covid” policy.
China will spur job creation through fiscal and monetary policies in response to a foundering economy caused by the government’s dogged insistence on maintaining a “zero-Covid” policy amid virus outbreaks and shifting dynamics in the international environment.
China’s State Council has called for more job creation in its weekly executive meetings for three consecutive weeks. Premier Li Keqiang said on Wednesday (May 13) the government would adopt new policies that prioritize employment creation, mobilize existing assets, broaden the channels for private investment and expand effective investment.
President says US will definitely stand by Taiwan if attacked while kicking off talks on ex-China Indo-Pacific Economic Framework.
US President Joe Biden made clear that the US would fight for Taiwan if it were attacked by China during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo today.
Asked by a reporter whether the US would defend Taiwan militarily, he said, “Yes.” After a pause, he added, “That is our commitment.” That statement would appear to strip decades of strategic ambiguity from America’s China-Taiwan policy.
“We are committed to supporting peace and stability and ensuring there is no unilateral change to the status quo,” Biden said. “The US is committed and we support the One China policy, but that does not mean China has the jurisdiction to use force to take over Taiwan.”
China practices hitting US warships and naval bases with hypersonic missiles while US cranks up laser weapons and “kill chain” defenses.
China has ramped up practicing hypersonic missile assaults on US warships and bases, as recent satellite photos of mock targets in Xinjiang’s Taklamakan Desert show.
Satellite photos released by the US Naval Institute this week show a string of large mock targets on the eastern edge of the desert that simulate warships such as aircraft carriers, destroyers, and naval bases.
As we have ministered in China over the years people often ask us, “Why are Christians persecuted in China?” There are several things to say, not the least is the fact that Satan is a real enemy, and God has promised Christians that they will face persecution and death while they are in this world.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.” (John 15:18-20)
In China people have the freedom to believe in God if they choose, as long as they keep it to themselves, and confine their activities within the four walls of a government-sanctioned “Three Self Church.” The government always proclaims people have freedom to believe in any religion, and in a sense that is true.
However, there is a tremendous level of persecution for Christian DISCIPLESHIP! Millions of people have been so deeply changed by the power of Jesus that there is no way they can remain silent and keep their faith to themselves. When Chinese believers refuse to sit in the church pews and keep their faith to themselves, they immediately become “law-breakers” and persecution begins. Millions of house church Christians in China face daily harassment, fines, beatings, imprisonment and death.
Leaders are especially targeted. Every day millions of men and women wake up and decide they want to be a “disciples” of Jesus, and to obey His commands regardless of the risks involved or the hardships they will face. Because so many make this “choice” to be Jesus’ disciples, China has been experiencing a tremendous revival for the last 30 years.
With such an attitude it is no wonder the Church in China has grown despite half a century of strong opposition and brutal suppression from the government. Thankfully, we have met many church leaders who understand God’s principles and who care nothing about fame. They desire to be hidden in Christ, so that He will get all the glory from their lives.
In China, where persecution is strong, staying hidden from the public eye is not only desirable, but a necessity for many church leaders, and ourselves, if we want to remain out of prison.
The U.N. Human Rights Commissioner should insist on meeting Ilan Tohti, Miradil Hassan, and Abdurashid Hamit.
In May 18, it was announced that Michelle Bachelet, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, will visit Xinjiang “shortly.”
What is the main purpose of Bachelet’s investigation into the Uyghur situation when so many facts are already known, including through victims and witnesses to the situation, leaked documents on China’s genocidal policy, satellite imaginesof mass detention camps, expert reports, and judgments from an independent tribunal?
Plans apparently underway for China’s first nuclear-powered carrier that will build on the soon-to-be-launched Type 003.
China appears to be preparing to build a fourth aircraft carrier and new type of frigate more suited for high seas operations to complement its future carrier battle groups.
Recent satellite photos revealed two FC-31s Gyrfalcon stealth fighters parked alongside several J-15 Flying Shark carrier-borne fighters at the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) flight facility in Liaoning province, hinting that the FC-31 may be positioned aboard China’s two carriers, the Liaoning and Shandong.
New more restrictive regulations came into force this month.
President Xi Jinping is obsessed with social media spiraling out of control, as censors are not quick enough when they cancel “dangerous” posts. Everywhere within the borders of the People’s Republic of China new forms of control are created and implemented.
However, Tibet is a special case, and the authorities believe that even more control is needed here. All residents of China like to use social media platforms consisting mostly of short videos such as Douyin and Kuaishou, whose combined users exceed 900 million. The huge number of users makes control and immediate censorship more difficult.
Impact as many lives as possible through the public and private teaching of God’s Word so that people are able to understand it, are led to believe it, challenged to apply it, motivated to love it, and equipped to study it on their own.
Due to the sensitive nature of our work and for the security of the team members and those we meet with, all names and locations have been changed to protect their identity.
