Salient Truth & Facts: May Day & May 4th are dates of importance and relevance to the founding of the Chinese Communist Party : PART TWO

 May Day and May 4th and the founding of CCP:     PART    TWO

The Chinese first May Day celebration was an important antecedent to the Chinese May Fourth Movement. On this day Chinese patriotic fervour was aroused when the Chinese people throughout the country realised the urgent need for China to reform to survive as a nation. Chinese students and workers in Beijing and Shanghai were awakened with great patriotic spirit after listening to public talks and lectures by Professor Li Dazhao and Professor Chen Duxiu. They felt the great urgency to do something to save China from the brink of national oblivion.

After the overthrown of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, the Nationalist Government - the Kuomintang - KMT assumed power in China under the leadership of Doctor Sun Yat-sen. Dr, Sun Yat-sen was faced with mounting problems of warlords, incompetent self-serving officials and ministers who indulged in infighting to serve their own self interests .

For the sake of national unity Dr Sun sacrificed himself and handed his presidency to Yuan Shi-kai, a warlord and former chief commander of the Qing Dynasty army. However Yuan Shi-kai was a traitor for he soon laid foundation to establish his own dynasty as an imperial emperor. Fortunately his rule was shortlived when he suddenly died in 1915. Dr. Sun assumed back his presidency after Yuan Si-kai's death in 1915. 

Dr Sun's government was still plagued with problems both internal and external. Warlords still controlled many provinces and Western countries and Japan still hold imperial motives of returning to China. They continued to cling to extra territorial rights in major Chinese towns, cities and ports.

There were frequent protests and demonstrations by Chinese students and workers throughout China against Western and Japanese imperialism. These protests and demonstrations culminated in the May Fourth Movement. 

During the First World War 1914 to 1918, China fought on behalf of the Western Alliance of England, France, Russia, US, Denmark, Holland, Italy and Japan against Germany and its allies of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. 

However, with the defeat of Germany the Western allies UK, US, France and Russia outrageously handed over to Japan the Chinese province of Shandong which was then an occupied German colony in China. This was contrary to earlier Western promise of ensuring Chinese independence and territorial integrity.

Thus against this outrageous Western betrayal of China, the  Chinese students and workers throughout China carried out fierce violent protests and demonstrations on the 4th of May, 1919 against the Versailles Treaty of Paris which awarded Shandong to Japan instead of restoring it back to China. The mass nation wide protests and demonstrations were effective when at the demand of the populace the Chinese government was forced to instruct its ambassador in France not to sign the outrageous treaty.

The May Fourth Movement had energised and radicalised Chinese political movement, Many Chinese Communist Party leaders like Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu and MaoZedong who were party founders were strongly involved in the May Fourth Movement. Thus the founding and success of the Chinese Communist Party can be traced back to May 1st and May Fourth Movement.

This initial success of the CCP was to lead and inspire the long journey of hard struggle along the vast myriads and vicissitudes of obstacles to enduring and gleeful success of establishing the People's Republic of China when Chairman Mao Zedong was able to proclaim on 1st October, 1949 at the rostrum in Tiananmen Square that the Chinese people and nation have stood up never to fall again.

Now China has embarked on the epic journey to help all other ex-colonial countries in Asia, Africa and South America to fight Western imperialists led by the United States and to develop their countries through developments in education, build up of their industries, economy and finance and their vast urgent need of infrastructure developments like ports, airports, roads, railways, and hospitals. 

The Chinese patriotic song Ge Chang Zu Guo - "Ode To The Motherland" singing to Motherland China the sounds of victory in which the lyrics and music were composed by Wang Shen ( 1918 - 2007 ) in 1950. Unlike the Chinese National Anthem " The March of the Volunteers" which reflects the consternation and sombre atmosphere of the critical danger that China faced from the Japanese aggression and invasion and Western imperialism headed by the United States in the 1930s to 1940s, the Ode To The Motherland shows the exuberant mood of happiness and confidence and strong faith of China marching forward from strength to strength and to prosperity. It praises the Chinese people love of peace and their homeland and their great leader and helmsman Mao Zedong guiding China forward to ever greater success and prosperity. Nevertheless it reminds and encourages the Chinese patriots to continue to resist and fight and destroy all enemies that still dare to infringe on the Chinese people and nation. The unity and fraternity of the Chinese people and nation are now forged as strong as steel and this ensures the glorious " People's Republic of China" will last many more millenniums till the end of time .

It is fitting that  "TheOde To Motherland" has been honored as the second Chinese national anthem.

Even one American in Iraq is ‘too many’ – Iran

 Even one American in Iraq is ‘too many’ – Iran

Around 2,500 US troops are currently stationed in the country

Iraq should not permit the presence of US troops on its territory, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told his Iraqi counterpart Latif Rashid at a meeting in Tehran on Saturday.

“Americans are not friends of Iraq,” Khamenei said to Rashid during Saturday’s meeting, according to local state media. “Americans are not friends with anyone and are not even loyal to their European friends.”  RT

The awaken Arab World will not be the same again. A few hundred years of western exploitation, manipulation and oppression would not be repeated again. In a way, the Arab World suffered the same fate as China, living under the shadow of western domination and being agitated to fight and kill each other, not to trust their neighbours that were Arabs and Muslims, but to trust the white men and the Israelies, and allowed the white men to destabilise the Arab World, and their economies and people suffered for centuries as underdeveloped countries. This fate would be passe. The Arab and Muslim World would now seek peace with their neighbours and work towards a better future for a united Arab World.

Many countries around the world, in Latin America, Africa and Central Asia are also awakening and are determine to drive out the white curse. The only region that is still willing to be the doggies of the West is likely to be Asean. Though some Asean states are trying to break free from this curse, subconsciously, some are still adoring their colonial masters, the white men, and wanted to be the slaves of the white men. 

The Philippines is a good example. After fighting so hard to free themselves from the white men's rule, the  Philippines are inviting the Americans to return, to turn their country into a semi colony of the evil American Empire. More bases for the Americans, more American soldiers in the Philippines under the pretext of defending the Philippines but actually to control the Philippines militarily. With the military in the pockets of the Americans, the Philippines can say goodbye to their independence.

Even the Muslim states within Asean are susceptible to the inducement of the Americans. Their idol is still the West/Americans. Just send them an invitation to the White House and they will be there in earnest. To them, to be friends of the white men, their colonial masters, is a great honour, a dream comes true. They could not think further than the massacres of their people and the cruel and shameful rules of the colonial days when white men were their masters and own them and their countries.

The Arabs came from a very advanced Civilisation in the past. Like China, they have deep roots, culture and philosophies. The Arabs would rise again just like the rise of China and India. Close on the heels are the Africans and the Latin Americans. All of them are looking for a new multipolar world, to be treated as equals and with dignity. Asean mentality is still white men are the masters, the white gods, and they are the subject people, born to idolise the white men and to pray to the white men. They do not mind being bullied by the white men and believing in white men's lies.

PS. 

Singapore’s foreign and defence ministers expressed the strongest backing from a South-East Asian nation for Australia’s planned acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines, saying they would be welcome to dock in Singapore and the three AUKUS members were trusted partners.
“As long as AUKUS contributes constructively to regional security, we’re supportive of it,” Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said following annual diplomatic, defence and trade talks with Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Defence Minister Richard Marles and Trade Minister Don Farrell in Canberra.

Singapore’s support for AUKUS stands in contrast to Malaysia and Indonesia, which have expressed alarm over the submarine pact adding to the regional arms race.

Decoupling - The USA is a wounded tiger, cornered and becoming irrelevant

Recent comments on a hardcore India based bitchy anti-China media site, Firstpost, is saying that the USA does not know how best to deal with China. That was a shockingly, and surprisingly rare and direct criticism and a reality slap, which will be denied vehemently by the USA for sure.

The modus operandi of taking from its usual playbook in dealing with Russia as with others, is now brought down to earth, with all the sanctions largely failing to work. Russia is not yet on the level of the intertwined economy between China and the USA, and yet Russia's tenacity and ability to endure in response is unsettling for the USA, even with the support of all of Nato. Therefore the USA realises that sanctioning China or even decoupling from it is going to cause unimaginable destruction for both of them economically, when it eventually pivots to the South China Sea.

While the USA, throughout the decades of its dominance, been used to taking out countries like Iraq and Libya like a morning exercise in the Park, Russia and China presented it with a different kettle of fish, where force will be met with force and more, with nuclear no longer the unilateral option it can deploy, like in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, without any fear of reprisals from the Japs.

Decoupling was almost the de facto way forward, as espouse by many USA hawks, and Trump took up the challenge by igniting the fuse with his trade war, attempting to lure back manufacuturing to the USA and bring down China. Instead, most of foreign owned Chinese manufacturing migrated to India and Vietnam among others. Added to the inability to decouple is now the looming rise of BRICS threatening the USA with the de-dollarisation move, and eating away the US$ hegemony. The USA and its allies can deny the inevitable and calling it 'over blown', but slow it may be, the outcome is ominous. They can brush that aside at their own risk, like the rise of China and now India. But I think the USA is deeply worried, nervous and paranoid.

With cheap labour, good skills availablity and even cheaper energy to boot in India in particular, the choice of destinations for such companies moving out of China is decisively not the USA. The USA basically lacks the kind of skills and talents needed, after the rush to China decades ago, as evidenced by the acute shortage of skilled its chip innovation talents to fill the gaps, with all the foreign chip makers flocking to take advantage of the subsidies dangled by the USA Government, whose intention is discreetly engineered to help their own chip manufacturers, killing two birds with one stone by destroying those foreign ones like TSMC and Samsung, who are now overshadowing them in innovation. So much so that the USA had to resort to force to bring back those talents, with loss of US citizenship if they refuse. Talk about their protection of 'Freedom of Choice' and all those bullshit.

Now, the new narrative of the USA on display is 'de-risk' knowing that decoupling is going to be devastating for them as well, with Russia already providing the perfect example. China is not going to fall for that 'de risk' line, and China should from now on take innovation into its own hands in chip manufacturing and everything else, whatever the difficulties and be self reliant in all important fields. Most importantly, have enough deterrents to counter any possibility of a sneak attack. A wounded tiger is the most dangerous animal.

Salient Truth & Facts: May 1st & May 4th - The Importance & relevance of these dates to the Founding of the Chinese Communist Party - CCP : PART ONE

           PART     ONE

When China and the Chinese people  celebrate May Day or Labour Day on May the 1st, The May 4th Movement and Chinese National Day on 1st October every year they must never forget the great contributions to the great Chinese nation  of two outstanding Chinese professors of Peking University viz Professor Li Dazhao and Professor Chen Duxiu and may be also Cai Yuan-pei  the illustrious dean or principal of Peking University in the 1915 to 1930s.

The Chinese people first celebrated May Day or International Workers Day in 1920 when Professor Li Dazhao and Professor Chen Duxiu first held May 1st assemblies with students and labour unions in Shanghai and Beijing. These assemblies awakened the Chinese to Chinese nationalism and aroused great fervour in Chinese patriotism.

Li Dazhao was a professor of politics, history and economics of Peking University. In 1918 he was also appointed as the librarian of the university by Cai Yuan-pei. Li Dazhao not only taught in Peking University but also in four other universities in Peking. He was frequently invited as a speaker by associations, colleges and other organisations throughout China.

At Beijing University he influenced students during the May Fourth Movement of May 4th 1919. One of his students was Mao Zedong who worked for him as an assistant librarian in the library's reading room. Li's urgent call for democracy, science and constitutional rule were essential components of the brilliance of the May Fourth Movement.

He and Chen Duxiu advised and coached students to take actions against the decadent Beiyang government of the dying remnants of the Qing Dynasty and to protest against the imperialist powers' decision at the Versailles Paris Peace Conference in 1919 to transfer the former German occupied Shandong province to the Japanese empire. 

He and Chen Duxiu published productively a great variey of topics championing new and progressive ideas and became China's earliest self-converted communists. 

Li Dazhao was  the first to stress the importance of China's rural society in launching agrarian political movements. His protege Mao Zedong carried on his work and idea of forging China's rural society in advancing China's communist movement and revolution. This movement culminated in the great Chinese victory over the western imperialist powers and Japan and the decadent KMT or Kuomintang government  of imbecile Chiang Kai-shek and his gang of incompetent self-aggrandized followers who turned out to be state robbers, traitors and betrayers of China to the evil United States.

Li Dazhao initiated the Peking Socialist Youth Corps in 1920. He built China's earliest socialist and communist groups in Beijing even before the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party in Shanghai. Li Dazhao was unable to attend the Communist Party's First National Congress in Shanghai in July 1921, but he and Chen Duxiu, another absentee were regarded as co-founder of the Chinese Communist Party.

On March 18, 1926, Li Dazhoa organized  anti-government demonstrations against the warlord Zhang Zuolin of Manchuria - North-East China because Zhang Zuolin was a Japanese lackey conspiring with the Japanese against the fledgling Chinese Republic of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Zhang Zuolin guards opened fire into the crowds killing over fifty demonstrators and wounding about three hundred others. 

Li Dazhao was then put on the most wanted list by Zhang Zuolin. He took refuge in the Soviet Embassy in Beijing where he continued to lead political maneuvers in north China to topple the warlord government. 

In 1927 Zhang Zuolin raided the Sovie t Embassy violating diplomatic immunity. Li Dazhao and his wife and daughter were seized . Li Dazhao and over twenty other individuals both Nationalists and communists were ordered by Zhang Zuolin to be executed on April 28th, 1927. Li Dazhao was just 37 years of age when he died at the hands of Japanese lackey Zhang Zuolin.

Li Dazhao left an enduring legacy upon Chinese history. As a leading intellectual of China's New Cultural Movement he and Chen Duxiu wrote hundreds of articles to promote democracy and called for a national revival. His turn to communism as a model for China's survival was very intense from 1918 to 1920. In fact he can be claimed as China's first communist, about a year earlier then Chen Duxiu.

Li Dazhoa's thoughts on the role of the peasants heavily influenced Mao Zedong whose adoption of the peasants' role in the revolution was fundamental to the victory of the Chinese Communist Party and the establishment of the People's Republic of China on 1st October, 1949.

The Chinese National Anthem of The People's Republic of China, 'The March of The Volunteers' written by Nieh Er is the embodiment of the spirit of the new modern powerful great wall of Chinese nationalism and communism to guard and protect China from further foreign aggressions of Western imperialism headed by the evil United States and its servile poodle Japan. 

On this May Day, First of May, 2023, Southernglory1 aka Yang Rong Nan congratulates and wishes the 'People's Republic of China of successfully forging a strong and mighty China never to be trampled again by foreign aggressions. Long live the 'People's Republic of China.'

Who is running Biden?

 

Biden caught with another cheat sheet
The president had advance knowledge of questions from journalists at a briefing on Wednesday

Photographs from a White House briefing on Wednesday show that US President Joe Biden knew which order to call reporters in, and was given advance notice of their questions. The 80-year-old president has been ridiculed for relying on such notes before, with opponents arguing that his cognitive capacity is declining.

A folded sheet of paper in Biden’s hand informed the president that Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian would ask him “How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities – like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing – with alliance-based foreign policy?”  RT

Above is copied from RT.

The  Americans or the USA has been running the world since it became the single super power.  some may argue that it is the Deep State that is running America and the world. Officially it is the President of the USA, ie Biden, that is running America. What is interesting is who is running Biden? More and more evidence are now available that Biden is anything but a walking robot and has to be told in everything that he does, what to say, who to talk to, when to stand up, when to sit, when to smile and when to walk away.

And this robot is the President of the USA, deciding on the fate of the world, deciding when to start a war, when to start a nuclear war. And this robot has announced that he is going to running for President for another term. Now, who is telling this robot that he can run for another term of office as the President of the USA? And the Americans are expected to vote for this robot. Question, would the Americans vote for a robot? Or can a robot win a Presidential election to be the most powerful robot in the world? Oops, I mean the most powerful man in the world?

How can a robot make America great again? Are the Americans going to rely on a robot to make America great again? Is this a fiction? It is believe that the President of the USA is the most powerful man in the world. Now we can see that there is someone or a few someones that is/are more powerful than the POTUS, to run him as he/they wish.

Who thinks it is a wise idea or good for the USA to have a robot for President?
