Diaoyu Island - The truth by German director Christie Ribby

*DIAOYU ISLANDS*

*The United States suddenly announced the largest iron evidence of the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands!*

The world was in an uproar, and the American "The Truth about the Diaoyu Islands" made the Japanese media collectively speechless. Be sure to invite patriotic compatriots to see!

From the perspective of a Westerner, Hollywood director Libby said a fair word to the world: the Diaoyu Islands belong to China.

For this truth, most Japanese mainstream media chose to collectively aphasia, and only a few media published a briefing.

Libi did not shoot "The Truth about Diaoyu Islands" for money or to speak for the Chinese government, but out of the artist's due conscience and a responsible attitude towards history.

There is an old saying in China: "The truth cannot be fake." It means that no matter how much you cover it up or how clever you are, you can't cover up the truth. The same is true for the issue of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.

The documentary "The Truth about the Diaoyu Islands", shot by German-born Hollywood director Christie Ribby, has premiered in the United States and China one after another, drawing attention from the outside world.

This 40-minute documentary, through detailed historical materials, comprehensively sorts out the ins and outs of the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, and expounds the fact that "the Diaoyu Islands have belonged to China since ancient times".

The film also recorded the crimes committed by Japan during the war of aggression against China, including the Nanjing Massacre, and the 731 Unit used Chinese to conduct bacteria experiments.

It also used a narration to call on the Japanese government to face up to history, apologize to the Chinese people for war crimes, and recognize that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China.

The film also criticized the United States for ignoring China's legitimate demands to take back the Diaoyu Islands when the "San Francisco Peace Treaty" was signed in 1951.

In order not to be considered "paid publicity", Ribby, 76, raised $500,000 to shoot the historical documentary independently.
In order to strive for truth, he consulted a large number of historical materials with the rigor unique to the Germans, "libraries, archives, the Internet... Wherever you can find data, go there".

The film uses a lot of persuasive photo and video data, some of which are from the archives of the National Archives of the United States, as well as historical materials purchased from the film studio.

In addition, he also went to China's Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and other places to shoot on-site to testify the content of the film.

In order to clarify the context of Sino-Japanese relations, Ribi even expanded his research horizon to the naval battle of Baijiangkou on the Korean Peninsula between Japan and the Tang Dynasty in 663 AD.

As for the reason for filming "The Truth about Diaoyu Islands", Ribby said: "As a German living in the United States, I feel very sad to see that the Western media always distort the coverage of China.

Especially on the Diaoyu Islands issue, no real information can be found through the Western media, which is related to the overall prejudice of the Western media against China. "I feel that I should do something to make up for the lack of Western media on the Diaoyu Islands issue. This is the original intention of my creation of "The Diaoyu Islands". "

Another important reason for making the film, Ribby said, was that he had been indignant that Japan had not apologized to China for its aggressive behavior.

He said: "Germany also did terrible things during World War II, but we will repent. In 1970, the then Federal German Chancellor Brandt went to the Polish Jewish Martyrdom Monument to kneel and apologize, which had a very positive impact on the Germans.

I am personally very grateful for what Brandt has done, otherwise we will be cursed by the tragic memory of the past, which has always been there.

Diaoyu Island - The truth ...contd

*DIAOYU ISLANDS*
Contd:

Sadly, Japan has not changed. So many people ask me, why doesn't Japan apologize like you Germans? I don't know, so I hope they can face up and seriously reflect on this history. "The Truth about the Diaoyu Islands" was the first to premiere in Los Angeles, and the response was enthusiastic.

Many American viewers said after watching the film that on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands, American newspapers, news agencies, TV stations and other media have almost the same tone. "The Truth about the Diaoyu Islands" exposes Americans to fresh voices and gives people a different perspective on history.

In recent years, in order to take China's Diaoyu Islands as their own, some Japanese politicians have tried their best, from issuing postage stamps with the Diaoyu Islands, "relocating" some national household registrations to the island, and building lighthouses on the island; to staged "nationalization", farce, revision of textbook compilation guidelines, production of related promotional videos, and the establishment of a special website, etc., in order to achieve the purpose of confusing the audio-visual with the real.

From the perspective of a Westerner, Ribi said a fair word to the world: the Diaoyu Islands belong to China. For this truth, most Japanese mainstream media chose to collectively aphasia, and only a few media published a briefing.
Some Japanese threw out "conspiracy theories" and questioned that Libi received money from Chinese people. As for collecting money, Ribby has already clarified.

Those who question Ribi may not understand that for a good artist, conscience and responsibility are more important than money.
Libi did not shoot "The Truth about Diaoyu Islands" for money or to speak for the Chinese government, but out of the artist's due conscience and a responsible attitude towards history.

In fact, there are many conscientious artists, historians, and writers like Libi, including the late professor of Kyoto University, Kiyo Inoue, and professor of Yokohama National University, Tadashi Murata.

They are not afraid of power and have the courage to tell the truth about the Diaoyu Islands. With a responsible attitude towards history, they spoke out what they should say as historians. This rigorous academic spirit deserves respect and learning from the world.

Even foreigners have fished for us. As a Chinese, it is not even more obligatory!

_When you finish reading this article, I hope you can spread it out, spread some positive messages, and make the world a little more loving.

Ukraine - Joe Biden admits that it is the USA against Russia

 President Joe Biden has cast the Ukraine war as part of a US-led struggle pitting democracy against authoritarianism.
 
The US Congress this week approved a US$40 billion (38 billion euro) aid package, including funds to enhance Ukraine's armoured vehicle fleet and air defence system. CNA

Russia's most senior lawmaker on Saturday accused Washington of coordinating military operations in Ukraine, which he said amounted to direct US involvement in military action against Russia.

"Washington is essentially coordinating and developing military operations, thereby directly participating in military actions against our country," Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel....

However, the United States and its NATO allies have repeatedly said they will not take part in fighting themselves, in order to avoid becoming parties to the conflict. CNA

The lying and cheating Americans speaking in fork tongue, denying that they were not fighting the Russians but all their actions showed that they are directly involved in the fighting, with their generals, their paid mercenaries, contractors, and with their weapons and money in the tune of US$40b! The total amount involved would be more than US$100b by now.

And the Americans think the Russians and the rest of the world are fools believing in their lies. Zelensky is just an actor, the highest paid actor in this war, not even a proxy war. There are so many American generals caught and now POWs facing charges of war crimes in Moscow.

The most evil Empire, with all the white savages, all armed to the teeth with weapons of mass destruction, with biochemical weapons banned by the UN, still strutting around like it has nothing to do with them. The real fighting in Ukraine is being fought by the American trained and funded neo Nazis and their American instructors and commanders. The sinking of Russian warships were done by the Americans, not by the Ukrainians.

And the evil Americans are desperately trying to throw all the shit at the Russians, ordering the American controlled ICC to fabricate evidence to accuse the Russians of war crimes when they know that all the hard evidence, material and scientists and generals are in the hands of the Russians. It only needs a couple of them to squeal and everything would be exposed. All their fabricated lies and evidence would mean nothing once the Russians have all the confessions of the generals and scientists and the thousands of human mice ie children used as test animals for their heinous experiments to terminate the Russians and other coloured people of the world.

Putin has executed the greatest military strategy to ambush the evil men and women in Mariupol and all the evidence to commit the Americans of war crimes, the Crime of the Century, conducted in the underground fortress of Azovstal steel plant. This time the American savages would not be able to get away so easily. The media of the world would be invited to witness the confessions of the evil American and Nato generals and scientists and all the biochemical weapons and documents seized by the Russians, and the thousands of children subjected to biochemical abuses by the evil Americans.

The final chapter to nail the Americans and the Europeans for the perverted crimes against humanity is being written in Moscow with the aid of American/Nato generals and scientists prisoners of war.

Covid19 - KKH planning to study long Covid problem in children

For the first time, KKH to study whether long COVID is a problem in children in Singapore 

SINGAPORE: Some studies overseas have put the prevalence of long COVID in children at anywhere from 4 to nearly 60 per cent of those who became infected with the virus.

But in Singapore, such a study — which would help to better manage children here who have had COVID-19 — has not been done yet.

That is about to change. KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) is planning to embark on a study to determine whether long COVID is indeed a problem in young children and teenagers in Singapore....

“We do know that long COVID might potentially be a problem in children,” said KKH consultant Li Jiahui, who specialises in paediatric infectious disease. Hence the coming study will be “important”, she noted....

The study comes in the wake of the Omicron wave having seen children contract COVID-19 at the highest rate among all age groups in Singapore. For example, between December and February, around 27,000 children aged five to 11 were infected with the virus....

Above is from an article in the CNA by  Derrick A Paulo  and Chan Luo Er 

I must commend our forward looking, pro active approach for taking this unprecedented step to do studies on long Covid effects in children. Yes, must nip the problem in the bud. They have finally stop relying on the Americans to feed them with all the data or selected data now that Pfizer has been ordered by the American courts to produce all the data that they refused to show to their own Americans and the world. Better late than never, and it is good to do our own study. I hope this plan, still a plan, not sure when it would be put to action, would materialise one day. Maybe already started.

And there are very good reasons to do our own studies. Because what could affect the Americans may not be applicable to us Asians and we need accurate representation of long Covid in children in Singapore. This is brilliant! I could never had thought of this. Here is the report in CNA.

'Most of the studies of long COVID in children are from the West, she noted. And their findings “may not be entirely applicable to our context” and may not give an “accurate representation” of long COVID in children in Singapore.

For one thing, Asian children may show particular symptoms differently. “Secondly, the symptoms may be partly attributable to various factors such as lockdowns, social restrictions, safe management measures, which differ from country to country,” she cited.'

Let's wait for the plan and study and the results. I think it would be good for the children of Singapore. At least we need not have to rely on foreigners' second hand reports or what foreigners thought fit to show us, what they wanted to show us and not knowing what they did not want to show us.

This is good, surely.

Can Singapore just do it instead of planning to do it?

USA vs China - What are they offering to the world?

The Americans has a US$1 trillion budget for defence and espionage against countries they labelled as enemies. How many countries have a national budget of US$300b or below? Singapore's national budget is just about there, US$300b. And the Americans are spending more than 3 times that on its military and the offensive arm of covert agencies out there doing nothing but supporting, funding and training insurgents and terrorist organisations to incite, agitate and destabilise countries as and when the Americans decided to do so.

Americans contribution or involvement in international affairs can be summed up in a few areas, selling arms, supporting wars, fighting wars, forming international gangs aka military and political alliances, and inciting and provoking wars, destabilising countries by interfering in their domestic affairs under the pretext of championing human rights, democracy and freedom using NED and NGOs.  Other major activities of the Americans are threatening countries with wars or economic sanctions.

These activities briefly summed up what the Americans are doing around the world, destabilising the world under the guise of maintaining peace, to feed its military industrial complex which is the largest component of the American economy. Without wars, perpetual wars and instability around the world, the American economy would ground to a halt with all its major industries involved in the manufacturing of arms going bankrupt.  Everyday, with the complicity of American and western media, the Americans have been promoting itself as a peaceful and peace loving country but actually the biggest trouble maker in the world, the biggest warmonger, the biggest arms seller, the one that is directly involved in all the wars on every corner of the earth...but pointing a finger at China as the trouble maker, an aggressive country with expansionist plan to conquer the world, but not involved in any wars for the last 40 years. China is the monster that the Americans have created to frighten the rest of the world.

On the other hand China's military budget is only a fraction of the American's, about US$300b, mainly to build up a strong defence force to protect its own territorial integrity and national interests, defensive in nature. China's main contribution to the international community, China's main activity or engagement with the rest of the world is trade and assisting the world in infrastructure development. These contributions can be backed up by the world's economic statistics produced by the IMF and World Bank and other international economic organisations that clearly confirmed that China is the top trading partners of more than 140 countries, more than the Americans' 20.

China's next biggest contribution to the world is the multi trillion dollar massive infrastructure project stretching across Asia and Africa, in the Bridge and Road Initiative Project involving more than 100 countries. But as usual, such a huge economic project has been labelled by the Americans, that has nothing good to say, as a Chinese expansionist plan to conquer the world.  Where are the guns and the bullets?

The BRI Projects stand to bring benefits to hundreds of countries especially those landlocked countries in Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. For the last few centuries, economic development and growth have been confined to maritime cities and countries along the maritime trade routes.  Landlock countries without direct access to seaports were economically disadvantaged and marginalised, unable to trade with the rest of the world like maritime countries and cities. China's BRI is a major strategic shift to connect the landlocked countries with the rest of the world, introducing a new dimension in international connectivity and trade. Hundreds of millions of people and countries stand to benefit from this China initiative that could not become a reality without a massive commitment in funds and resources made possible by the political will of a country like China.

The Americans have no answer to this Chinese initiative and could only eye from a distance with green envy and to poke its fingers in every corner hoping to scuttle the Project with sinister narratives like debt traps, China not doing it for altruistic reasons and Chinese expansionist ambition.

Where is America when the world, especially the developing countries in Asia and Africa, and also those in Latin America need a leader to help them in their economic development, funding and support? Oh, the Americans are very busy fighting wars in the Middle East and Africa and inciting and provoking for more new wars in other parts of Asia, Europe and Latin America, imposing sanctions on millions of people around the world, causing economic hardship, sufferings and poverty to innocent people, and death and destruction in countries they are engaged in warfare.

The footprints of the Americans around the world is instability, insurgencies, interfering in other countries' domestic affairs, and wars and destruction and regime change and military alliances. On the contrary, China's footprints are trade, infrastructure development, investments and economic cooperation, no signing of military pacts and ganging up to fight this country or that country. 

Wherever China goes, there is economic development and trade, no bullets, no deaths!

Wherever you find Americans, it is war, instability, economic sanctions, fears, threats of war, fighting, bombings, destruction, insurgency and terrorism.

Who is contributing positively to the good of human civilisation? Who is spreading hate, creating animosities and inciting and fighting wars and killing people around the world, finding faults and excuses to attack other countries? Who is the irresponsible trouble maker and warmonger?

How many millions of people have the Americans killed and maimed in the last 40 years?

How many people have the Chinese killed in the same period, without engaging in a single war?

Who is the real devil, the number one terrorist country in the world? Which country is everyday trying to pick a fight with another country, stirring shit everywhere? The Americans spent a trillion dollar annually just to fabricate lies, incite wars and fighting wars and killing innocent people.

Hw many silly people still believe in the white savages as peace loving people, to police the world as responsible people? Who would want the international gangster to be provide peace and stability? Just look at Ukraine and Europe and Taiwan and the latest, Soloman Islands. Who is behind the war and tension?
