The Myanmar military coup was allegedly supported by the CCP behind the scenes. A Myanmar citizen group recently released a report stating that at least five CCP state-owned enterprises provided arms to the Myanmar military.
On 17 February, Radio Free Asia reported that the Myanmar citizen group "Justice for Myanmar" issued a report, pointing out 5 Chinese state-owned enterprises, including China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO), China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), and China Aerospace Technology Import and Export Co., Ltd. (CATIC) supply conventional weapons and related items to the Myanmar National Defense Forces.
The report pointed out that the CCP is the main backstage of the Myanmar military.
An anonymous spokesperson for "Justice for Myanmar" based on security stated that China North Industries Corporation sells weapons to the Myanmar military, and the military uses the weapons against the people of Myanmar. The company also operates two copper mines in Myanmar, expelling indigenous people and polluting the environment.
The spokesperson also quoted a report from the UN "Truth Investigation Commission" that the Myanmar military used its trade revenue with the CCP to support the National Defense Forces in fighting the "Arakan Army" in northern Myanmar and Rakhine State, a "serious violation." human rights". The National Defense Forces persecuted Rohingya who believe in Islam, but they were exempted from criminal responsibility because of the CCP's protection.
The spokesperson also revealed that the business of the military and CCP-related enterprises is not subject to audits and Congressional interference, and the personal gains of the military leader Min Anglai are unknown to the public. The decision-making and the buying and selling belong to the same group of people and there is obviously a conflict of interest.
In addition to providing arms, the CCP is also suspected of providing technical support for the Myanmar military to implement network control.
A cybersecurity expert in Yangon told VOA a few days ago that the CCP has provided the Myanmar military with the necessary hardware equipment and technical personnel to build a network firewall.
The cybersecurity expert said that the CCP’s IT technicians and equipment have arrived in Yangon to cooperate with the military in implementing the so-called cybersecurity law as soon as possible to suppress dissent and democratic protests on the Internet. These firewall devices were instructed to be put into use before February 15.
The network expert revealed that these hardware devices may come from the Chinese telecom giant Huawei, but it has not been confirmed.
In recent days, the people of Myanmar continued to gather outside the CCP embassy in Yangon to protest the CCP’s support for the Myanmar military coup. The protesters held up signs "Please stop helping the military coup" and "(Please) network technicians from China leave immediately!"
A Myanmar media recently disclosed that after the Myanmar military government closed international flights, five cargo planes from Kunming, Yunnan arrived at Yangon International Airport on the same day. Netizens have speculated whether these planes are transporting IT personnel to help Myanmar to block the Internet, or whether they are weapons or military police to suppress the people.
The Chinese Embassy in Myanmar denied supporting the Burmese military government on the 16th, claiming that the plane was "carrying seafood," and was ridiculed by netizens as "do not understand common sense." Myanmar is very rich in fishery resources. Seafood is the country’s main export industry and it is almost impossible to import seafood from China.
After the Myanmar coup, the CCP refused to condemn the Myanmar military and obstructed the UN sanctions against the Myanmar military government, which was criticized by the international community. Many scholars have analyzed that the Myanmar military coup may have the tacit approval and support of the CCP.

Reporter : Gao Jianwen / Editor : Song Yue / https://www.soundofhope.org/post/475583 / Direct translation
The Myanmar military shocked the world by launching a coup on the 1st. A Myanmar citizen group published a report stating that China has five state-owned enterprises that provide arms to the Myanmar military and provide revenue to the Myanmar military through trade. These revenues have become the capital of the Myanmar military for domestic wars and coups.
Although the CCP has repeatedly denied supporting the Myanmar military coup, according to Radio Free Asia, the Myanmar citizen group "Justice for Myanmar" issued a report showing 16 foreign companies supplying conventional weapons and related items to the Myanmar Defense Forces. Among them, the Chinese Communist Party’s state-owned enterprises accounted for the most, including China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO), China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), China Aviation Technology Import and Export Co., Ltd. (CATIC) ) A total of 5 rooms. This is followed by India, Israel, Russia and Singapore each with two, North Korea and Ukraine each with one.
The spokesperson of "Justice for Myanmar" stated that China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) not only sells weapons to the Myanmar military, which can be used by the Myanmar military against the people. The company operates two local copper mines, such as Lebitang Copper. The mine also expelled the original inhabitants and polluted the local environment.
The spokesman said that Chinese public and private enterprises have inextricably linked with the Myanmar military.
In addition, the spokesperson also quoted the United Nations "Truth Inquiry Commission" as pointing out that the Myanmar military used the income from trade with China to support the National Defense Forces in fighting the Arakan Army in northern Myanmar and Rakhine State. According to reports, during the exchange of fire between the Burmese National Defense Forces and the Rakhine Army, they "seriously violated human rights," while the National Defense Forces who persecuted Rohingya who believed in Islam were exempted from criminal liability.
The spokesperson also pointed out that the business of the military and related enterprises is not subject to audits and the interference of the Congress, and the personal gains of Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Lai are also unknown to the public.
"Justice for Myanmar", based on public information from the Myanmar Investment and Company Administration (DICA), also consolidated the list of Myanmar's military and business partners. According to the report of the group, which was checked by the Free Asia reporter, among the 112 important business partners of the Myanmar government, 20 involved Chinese and Hong Kong funds, including Wanbao Minerals (Hong Kong) Copper Co., Ltd., which operates the Lebitang Copper Mine, Yangtze Mining Co., Ltd., Yutong Bus, Myanmar Century Liaoyuan Knitting Factory, etc., among which at least 9 are textile companies, indicating that the Myanmar government mainly makes profits in the garment manufacturing trade with China.
Among these 112 companies, more than 90% have business cooperation with Myanmar's two major military enterprises, Myanmar Economic Holdings Co., Ltd. and Myanmar Economic Corporation. According to the United Nations report, most of the capital for Min Aung Lai’s coup came from these two major military companies.
After the Myanmar military launched a coup on the 1st, it continued to strengthen its control over media and online speech. Various rumors about the CCP’s backing were rampant, including China’s deployment of personnel and equipment to assist the Myanmar military in strengthening network control, triggering Myanmar People recently gathered outside the Chinese Communist Embassy in Yangon, holding placards, demanding "please stop helping the military coup" and "(please) network technicians from China leave immediately!"
According to the “Financial Times” report, Burmese people have called online to boycott Chinese-made products and launched attacks on the natural gas pipeline connecting China’s Yunnan Province and the port of Kyaukphyu Town in Rakhine State, Myanmar.
Zhang Yaozhong, an associate professor at Monash University in Australia who specializes in cybercrime and information warfare, said in an interview with Taiwan’s Central News Agency that although there is currently no specific and clear evidence of the CCP’s secret assistance to the Myanmar military, the military strongly promotes “cyber security”. Law" and strengthen the censorship of speech and information, and the relevant practices are very similar to those of the CCP. In addition, the fact that China has not determined that the Myanmar military launched a "coup" and that Myanmar is an important node of China's "Belt and Road" initiative have also led the Myanmar people to believe that the CCP is behind it.
Zhang Yaozhong said that if China's actions give the Burmese people more reasons to "believe" and "speculate" that the military is backed by Beijing, the local anti-China sentiment is bound to rise.

Myanmar troops in the city, UN fears the harbinger of massacre
After Myanmar military generals deposed and arrested Aung San Suu Kyi, the state counsellor and de facto leader, in early February, they cut off the domestic network. Myanmar has severed contact with the outside world for several days.
On February 16, the Burmese military filed a second charge against former national leader Aung San Suu Kyi, or detained her indefinitely. The second charge is a violation of the National Disaster Management Act, which can be sentenced to up to three years in prison.
On the 16th, the Burmese military government held a press conference for the first time after the coup d’etat, denying that its removal of the elected government was an act of launching a coup. They said that due to fraud in the November general election, their actions were reasonable and that they would transfer power after the new general election.
The military also showed photos of police officers injured, damaged vehicles and ambulances, and videos of water cannon vehicles retreating at the press conference but Myanmar netizens criticized the military for lying on the Internet and the TV station reported "fake news."
The news of the military's additional charges against Aung San Suu Kyi also caused more Myanmar people to take to the streets to express their protest.
The UN Special Rapporteur for Myanmar issued a stern warning on the 16th, saying that the violence in Myanmar may increase and calling on the international community to pressure Myanmar generals and foreign companies to sever relations with Myanmar.
The Myanmar military government recently disconnected the Internet and sent armored vehicles to patrol. The international community called on the military to exercise restraint.

The situation in Myanmar is becoming increasingly tense. A few days ago, the Burmese military government sent armored vehicles to patrol and even used the army to open fire to disperse the protest crowd. On Wednesday (17th), tens of thousands of people launched the "Stop with You" operation in Yangon, the country's largest city, to prevent military vehicles from entering the town to suppress the people. Many netizens lamented that the CCP’s suppression of the June Fourth Movement seemed to reappear in Myanmar.
According to the Agence France-Presse report, on Wednesday, more than 10,000 demonstrators in Yangon launched the "Stop with You" operation. They parked a number of private cars and trucks on the bridge and held high banners such as "We need the US military to provide support" and "We will not kneel to the military" to prevent military vehicles from entering the city to carry out suppression.
The Myanmar military launched a coup d'etat earlier this month and placed the de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and a number of political figures under house arrest, seized state power, and triggered constant protests. People from all walks of life, including medical staff, teachers, lawyers, monks, and celebrities in the entertainment industry, participated in the strike and condemned the coup.
On Tuesday (16 February), the military government held a press conference for the first time, denying that its arrest of elected officials on February 1 was a "coup d'état." The military spokesman Sumin Tun stated at the meeting that "our goal is to hold elections and transfer power to the winning party." But at present, the military has not yet given a new election date, and only declared a one-year national emergency.
On the same day, multiple videos posted on the Internet showed that the Burmese army had used force to suppress the people.
According to a BBC report, gunshots have been heard in Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State in northern Myanmar. In addition, soldiers can be seen on the streets of many cities, including Yangon. Another video posted on the Internet showed that protesters were yelling and running away amidst the sound of gunfire at night.

On Sunday night, the people of Myitkyina also protested outside a power plant because they were protesting the army's entry into the city to take over the nuclear power plant, but they were also shot and dispersed by the military. According to people familiar with the matter on social media, the army fired more than 40 shots, all of which were live ammunition. It was also claimed that the military also fired tear gas.
Netizens left messages and sighed, "8964 Myanmar version is staged", "Tiananmen Square reappeared in Myanmar", "Remember the bloody nights in early June 1989", "The Burmese military government is becoming more and more like a communist bandit", and "There is absolutely the instigation of communist bandits!" ""The Communist bandit is behind the scenes, wherever he goes, wherever he goes."
Some netizens left a message: "Severely condemn the violent suppression of civilians!" "It was quiet in the middle of the night, and the gunfire finally rang on time... Pray for the Burmese."
The 75-year-old Aung San Suu Kyi is currently facing two charges of illegally importing at least 10 radio walkie-talkies and violating the country’s National Disaster Management Act. The relevant trial will be held on 1 March. Since the military government made changes to the Penal Code last week to allow suspects to be detained without court permission, the outside world fears that Aung San Suu Kyi may be detained indefinitely without trial.

Britain revises Hong Kong business guidelines, international financial center is downgraded
Since the implementation of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law", Hong Kong's status as an international financial center has been in jeopardy.
On 16 February, the British government updated Hong Kong’s trade and investment guidelines on its official website information, deleting "Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy" and changing it to "Hong Kong operating under the one country, two systems model." The Sino-British Joint Declaration stated that Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy in other affairs.
The guidelines specifically mentioned that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" was implemented in Hong Kong, four pro-democracy members were disqualified, and the CCP refused to recognize BNO visas. He also quoted the British "Hong Kong Semi-Annual Report" criticizing the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Act" for weakening the exercise of basic rights and freedoms of Hong Kong people, reiterating that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Act" and DQ members (disqualified) violated the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" ".
The new guidelines point out that the implementation of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" restricts freedom of speech in Hong Kong. Evidence shows that some companies are under pressure from the Chinese Communist Party because of their employees’ political opinions or their participation in protests. For example, the British-owned Swire subsidiary Cathay Pacific Airways has dismissed its employees due to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party because of its employees’ statements or participation in the “return to China” regulations. .
The new guidelines also reminded that under the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law," closed interrogations are allowed and can be transferred to the mainland for interrogation under certain circumstances. In particular, under the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law," only the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress can interpret the law.
In addition, the new guidelines also delete the description of Hong Kong as an international financial center and that the British government and the Hong Kong government have been reciprocally cooperating. Instead, it was renamed Hong Kong a highly competitive international hub and maintained that Hong Kong as a whole is Britain’s main business partner and the gateway to the mainland market.

Xi Jinping wants to rule Taiwan with military force! Former Prime Minister of Australia reveals the inside story
Reporter : Li Yun / Editor: Zhu Xinrui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/02/18/a103056710.html / Direct translation
Recently, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd published an article stating that the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping wants to obtain a “Mao Zedong level” status in the party by seizing Taiwan, and plans to defeat the United States with military power within ten years but Beijing is too confident to ignore the three most critical factors.
The latest research report released by the Australian think tank "China Matters" stated that Xi Jinping is different from previous CCP leaders and he is determined to solve the Taiwan issue in this generation.
Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd subsequently published an article entitled "Avoiding War-How to Avoid Disasters Caused by U.S.-China Confrontation" in the journal "Foreign Affairs", saying that the next decade will be the "dangerous era" (the decade of living dangerously), Taiwan will become the next point of conflict between the United States and China.
The article said that Xi Jinping and the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party believe that American power has undergone an "irreversible decline." The U.S. Department of Defense report also clarified the CCP’s military ambitions in the next few decades, including turning the CCP into a "world-class" combat capability that can compete with the U.S. Army, and stated that it is expected to achieve this goal in 2027.
The CCP’s top leaders, including Xi Jinping, have already understood that “there is no peaceful reunification with Taiwan”, and Beijing’s introduction of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, the promise of “one country, two systems” cannot be realized.
The article continued that Xi Jinping's attempt to win the same position as Mao Zedong through the unification of Taiwan may be to strengthen Taiwan’s naval exercises, display force to the outside world, and allow the United States to abandon defense assistance after evaluation, so that Beijing can more easily achieve the goal of reunification. .
However, the article pointed out that Xi Jinping was too confident about attacking Taiwan and underestimated the three most important factors:
First, Taiwan’s geographical conditions are similar to those of the Netherlands and Norway, and there are certain difficulties in occupation.
The second is that the CCP’s international political legitimacy has caused "irreparable" damage.
The third is the unpredictability of domestic politics in the United States. Of course, the United States will prioritize its own interests, but if it ignores its long-standing democratic partners, it will also affect its international status.
The article also said that Taiwan's defense capabilities have been greatly enhanced during Trump's administration, and Beijing has also neglected the determination of the United States to help defend Taiwan. Beijing believes that the US will not fight a war with no chance of victory. On the contrary, if the US does not act for decades of democratic allies, it would be a catastrophe for the US.
The article pointed out that especially for Asian allies, if the United States abandons Taiwan, it will void all its past security commitments. If there is no military conflict in the Taiwan Strait before 2030, that is the key to success.
The article also believes that the competition between the United States and China will enter a critical decade, and tensions cannot be avoided, but both sides will avoid the possibility of detonating wars and reduce the risk of conflict through controlled strategic competition.
In recent months, the CCP has continuously increased its cultural attacks and military threats against Taiwan, and has sent military aircraft to fly over the center of the strait frequently. O'Brien, the former White House national security adviser, warned the CCP that if the U.S. dared to attack Taiwan by force, once the U.S. intervenes, the CCP’s situation will become very dangerous. The United States will unite with the world to form an anti-communist alliance, and the CCP will definitely become an international outcast.

Xi Jinping cleans up the political and legal system
Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor: Zhu Xinrui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/02/18/a103056696.html / Direct translation
Recently, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that the poison of "Zhou Yongkang" and others has not yet been eliminated, highlighting that the "knife" of the political and legal system is still unstable. At present, Xi Jinping is pursuing a major cleansing of the political and legal system. There are rumors within the CCP that the Xi faction has begun to close the Jiang faction's Shanghai "old nest".
At the beginning of this year, Xi Jinping issued a signal to prevent a coup. At the January Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Xi emphasized: "Political and economic issues are intertwined, threatening the political security of the party and the country..." We must "seriously investigate and punish the two-faced people who are disloyal to the party and who are not committed to the party.
On February 8th, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection named the Ministry of Public Security to "clean up Zhou Yongkang, Meng Hongwei, Sun Lijun and other residual poisons that are not in place."
Two days later, Gong Daoan, the deputy mayor of Shanghai and the director of public security, was "double opened." Gong Daoan is the first "Deputy Ministerial Tiger" to be sacked in Shanghai since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Gong Daoan's first crime was listed for "organizing gangs in the party." Before he fell from the horse, Deng Huilin, the former director of the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Sun Lijun, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, had been arrested one after another. These three were the former ministries of Meng Jianzhu, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. Meng Jianzhu was once promoted and reused by Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong. Behind the fall of the above three people, it is considered a thrilling contest at the highest level of the CCP.
Gao Guangjun, an American lawyer and former teacher of the Public Security University of the Communist Party of China, analyzed that Gong Daoan's double-opening was Xi Jinping's "dissident" in the political and legal system, and his sword was directed at Meng Jianzhu.
Gao Guangjun told the Voice of America that Gong Daoan is different from other officials who were purged. He is one of the few public security officials who has served as deputy minister directly from the grassroots, and is a direct line of Meng Jianzhu.
Gao said that Xi Jinping has not fully grasped the "knife" of the political and legal system since he took office. This is a major concern for Xi. After Xi got the former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Zhou Yongkang down, the person he relied on was Meng Jianzhu, and Meng Jianzhu was from Jiangxi and also belonged to the Jiang faction. When the Xi authorities criticized Sun Lijun, he said he was a "two-faced man", but it was actually said to Meng Jianzhu that Meng Cai was a real "two-faced man."
As early as the first half of last year, Chen Yixin, a close friend of Xi Jinping and secretary-general of the Central Political and Law Commission, announced that he would "rectify" the political and legal system before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The political and legal system would be thoroughly cleaned up before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In fact, it is to purge officials who are disloyal to Xi. After the start of the rectification movement, a large number of political and legal officials and police "tigers" were investigated, removed from office or prosecuted.
On 27 January, the Chinese Communist Party CCTV rarely broadcasted Xi Jinping’s speech at the closing of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. At the meeting, Xi especially emphasized the need to "severely punish and never punish corruption in the political and legal system." However, observers believe that the CCP has historically had factions in the party, "comrades change from the same party", "comrades change from the same party", and "gangs" in the military and public security political and legal systems are complicated and not easy to remove.
Gao Guangjun said, “From the time when Meng Jianzhu’s 11 party committee members of the Ministry of Public Security were replaced until today, they have all been replaced. The last one was replaced by Liu Yuejin, another student of mine last year, a member of the party committee and counter-terrorism committee of the Ministry of Public Security. Was removed. After all the replacements, I still feel uneasy, because there are still many people in the middle who are two-faced people, like Sun Lijun. Including the "knife-hands" figures everywhere. The security department and other departments have changed people. Very fierce."
In the second half of last year, the authorities inspected Shanghai's political and legal system. Ren Yongfei, president of the Shanghai Yangpu District Court, and Lu Yan, former secretary of the Yangpu District Political and Legal Committee, were arrested. Taiwan's "Shang Bao" stated that Xi Jinping's strengthening of the cleansing of the political and legal system is directly related to the former general secretary Jiang Zemin's old forces in Shanghai. Following the frequent actions of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, rumors within the Communist Party began that the Xi faction began to close the Internet from the Shanghai "laod" of the Jiang faction.
Today, Xi Jinping uses the political and legal system as a breakthrough point to strengthen political and organizational control, and is accused of starting 20 power defense battles. And Xi’s biggest concern at the moment is that the anti-Xi forces have a deeper hidden political and legal system, especially the police system with guns. Fa Guang believes that the Central Discipline Inspection Commission’s frequent attacks on officials of the Ministry of Public Security and the Department of Political and Legal Affairs are further purging anti-Xi forces in the party and escorting Xi Jinping’s smooth transition in the 20th National Congress.
The authorities also recently issued the "ten prohibitions", which are considered to help Xi "build up power" and "eliminate noise" to further consolidate Xi Jinping's strength. Fa Guang believes that the "ten prohibitions" are Xi Jinping's layout at the political level. The specific removal of obstacles has to rely on the power of the political and legal system to complete, so it is very important for Xi to grasp the "knife".

Reporters : Feng Hua and Tian Rui / http://www.minhangshi.com/m/h5/detail/9201241 / Direct translation
Recently, the barristers of the Essex Court in the United Kingdom issued a "milestone" legal opinion, believing that there is "very credible evidence" to prove that, The CCP regime carried out "genocide" against Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
The opinion wrote: "According to Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, there is sufficient evidence to prove that his actions constitute a'crime against humanity'", including slavery, imprisonment or other serious deprivation of personal freedom, torture , Rape, forced sterilization, persecution and enforced disappearance. "
Peter Irwin, the senior communications officer of the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP), said, "This discovery makes it impossible for a responsible government to continue to treat China (the CCP) as a normal member of the international community."
He said: "Whether it is the 2022 Beijing Olympics or Volkswagen manufacturing cars a few miles away from concentration camps, the government and global companies need to reassess their relationship with Beijing until this treatment ends." He added.
The British House of Commons voted on a series of amendments to its post-Brexit trade bill on February 9, including a "genocide amendment." Previously, a version of the amendment was rejected by only 11 votes in the House of Commons.
The revised amendment won a two-thirds majority in the House of Lords last week. Imran Ahmad Khan, chairman of the foreign affairs group of the all-party parliament, told NTDTV that he felt that the amendment "has received significant and growing support in both houses."
If the amendment is passed, the British courts will become the first domestic courts that have the power to determine whether a country has committed genocide. If such a determination is made, the minister must arrange for a motion to be debated in both houses of parliament, asking the government to propose a plan of action, which may include stopping negotiations or withdrawing from the trade agreement with the country.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member Lithuania has banned the use of luggage scanning equipment produced by China’s Tongfang Weishi subsidiary for national security reasons. Last week, Lithuania sent lower-level officials to participate in a video summit between China and leaders of 17 European countries. At the meeting, they clearly expressed their concerns about China's policies.
Western countries have growing doubts about the CCP’s investment in critical infrastructure, including the 5th generation mobile communications (5G) telecommunications network.
The Lithuanian intelligence agency warned in its annual report that "Chinese investment is actively infiltrating" and poses various risks, such as "loss of control over resources and infrastructure, market manipulation, and political influence."
Rasa Jakilaitiene, a spokesman for Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte, told AFP a few days ago that a committee appointed by the government has concluded that Nuctech Co. is “inconsistent with the country's security interests".
According to Lithuanian law, if it is found to be harmful to national security, the government will be allowed to prohibit strategic companies such as the Airport Authority from signing contracts.
Laurynas Kasciunas, Chairman of the National Security and Defense Committee of the Lithuanian National Assembly, said: "This decision shows that Lithuania does not want to be part of the technological circle shaped and controlled by China."
Lithuania is a staunch ally of the United States in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The U.S. military has troops stationed there. Lithuania also hopes to have more military power to counter neighbour Russia.
The Baltic News Agency (BNS) pointed out that Robert Gilchrist, the US ambassador to Vilnius, earlier welcomed the report that Lithuania was considering banning Tongfang Weishi devices.
Tongfang Weishi previously actively sought contracts for Lithuanian airport monitoring equipment. The Wall Street Journal reported in June last year that Tongfang Weishi's cargo, baggage and passenger scanning system is becoming a fixture for all European ports, border passages and airports.
Tongfang Weishi’s Dutch subsidiary believes that the scanning equipment will be produced in Poland and does not understand Lithuania’s concerns.

The CCP announces the flow of fake vaccines abroad. Comment: Ready to discharge responsibility

The problem of fake vaccines in China is endless. Recently, the CCP officially announced more than 20 cases of fake vaccines against covid. Some fake vaccines have even flown abroad. However, outsiders believe that it is the CCP's own collusion between government and business to poison the world with fake vaccines, and they are worried about the problems of fake vaccines in the future, so they first find reasons to shirk responsibility.
The official CCP media Xinhua News Agency reported that in the early days of the CCP virus vaccine, criminals made huge profits through counterfeiting and selling, reselling at high prices, and unauthorized mass inoculation. As of February 10, procuratorial organs across the country have arrested 70 suspects in 21 cases.
The report also announced the details of four cases of making fake vaccines, including using physiological saline and mineral water to make fake vaccines, and collecting money to attract customers to participate in emergency vaccination.
Several other cases showed that after the fake vaccines were introduced into the market, criminals sold them at high prices and commissioned village doctors to vaccinate them. They also arranged for unqualified personnel to participate in emergency vaccination plans in hospitals. They even recruited customers through WeChat groups, forged a series of vaccination documents, and criminals smuggled fake vaccines abroad for huge profits.
Zhang Jian, a researcher on China in the United States, said, "These people who can get fake vaccines abroad in China are Chinese officials. Without the umbrella and promotion of Chinese officials, no country and no company would dare to take vaccines. Go abroad."
Since vaccination in China can only go to officially designated medical units, the outside world generally doubts the official statement of vaccination by village doctors.
Zhao Zhongyuan, a Beijing doctor traveling in Canada: "According to what I know about Chinese vaccine companies, he can't produce real vaccines, because his technology is not advanced to that level. The production companies and units used are fixed and can have the right to vaccination. It can’t be the small clinics outside, which have fixed points. How can fake vaccines enter the regular channels?"
Regarding the Chinese Communist Party’s official claim that “criminals are smuggling fake vaccines abroad,” a Henan businessman told Radio Free Asia that the possibility of fake vaccine exports is very small, because every country’s imported vaccines must be tested first. Checking the source of vaccines requires a lot of procedures for exporting a commodity, not to mention vaccines. Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party's official move is to lay an explainable reason for the problems of domestic vaccines abroad.
Zhao Zhongyuan said, "I think its own vaccine is not enough. He spread the news that there are fake vaccines, whether it is domestic or foreign. In the future, once the CCP vaccine has problems, it can be said that some fake vaccines have been mixed in. We use our regular channels to find a way out for ourselves. I think this possibility is great."
In fact, in recent years, China’s fake and virulent vaccine problems have emerged one after another, causing many irreversible tragedies to Chinese children and adults.
Lu Jun, the co-founder of the Beijing Yirenping Center, an anti-discrimination charity organization, told Radio Free Asia that what is more serious than smuggling vaccines in China is the problematic vaccines produced by regular manufacturers, including the procurement, distribution, and transportation of vaccines by the government's epidemic prevention department. In the process, there are various illegal and illegal operations.
Zhang Jian said, "The problem of fake vaccines produced in China is indeed endless, especially in the incident in Jilin, where many fake vaccines were discovered from rabies vaccines. These fake vaccines can pass numerous barriers, strict inspections, and then swagger away. When you go to the foreign vaccine market, you can see what role he plays in the powerful Chinese Communist Party."
Attorney Tang, who has represented many vaccine rights protection cases, also said that China’s problematic vaccines have appeared many times, but the government has dealt with it hastily every time. Not only has the problem not been resolved, but the person who raised the problem has been blocked.
Zhang Jian said, "During the epidemic, how many protective products, masks, protective clothing, and current vaccines have appeared. They are all fake. Why are there so many fakes? The reason is that the CCP is messing up the international market behind the scenes and squeezing its own pockets. This matter will get worse."
Zhang Jian, a researcher on China issues in the United States, believes that the CCP virus has caused countless lives around the world. Now that the CCP has faked vaccines to poison more people, the international community should speed up the pursuit of liability and compensation against the CCP.
