He promised that after the vaccines arrive and complete the inspection and sealing, they will be distributed to counties and cities as soon as possible to maximize the benefits of each batch of vaccines.

The explosion volume of high-end antibodies in the four-pronged cat test is 25 times Chen Shizhong: Personal data cannot be referenced

Net celebrity Four-pronged Cat (Liu Yu) was vaccinated with the MVC COVID-19 Vaccine (MVC-COV1901) and tested the antibody value at his own expense. The antibody value increased by 25 times after an interval of one month; Chen Shizhong, the commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, said that the antibody test has already shown that it is related to the personal physique, the brand and the time of the test, and a single personal data cannot be used as a reference.
Chen Shizhong said that the inspection data related to domestic vaccines in Taiwan is based on the inspection reports obtained by the industry after clinical trials. When negotiating with foreign countries, the inspection data of a single person cannot be used as the basis.
At present, the "antibody" tested on the market detects IgG, which is used to detect whether they have ever been infected with covid, and is not used for "neutralizing antibodies" after vaccination. Currently, there are no applicable commercial reagents for the "neutralizing antibody" test, and only a few domestic laboratories can correctly test the neutralizing antibody.
Luo Yijun, deputy leader of the medical response team of the command center, also pointed out at the epidemic press conference that the commercial reagents tested the antibodies produced by the vaccine, which does not guarantee the cellular immunity against the new coronavirus. Antibodies are only part of the immune response and it is not possible to find out whether cellular immunity has sufficient effect.

Notice! These two vaccines are indispensable! Covi infection reduces the risk of severe illness and death
Report by : Jiang Zhiwei / Photographer : Chen Ruhuan
Autumn and winter are the seasons for the virus to be active. It is worth noting pneumonia is caused by a variety of respiratory viruses and secondary bacterial infections. It is one of the main killers of the Chinese people. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, affected by the covid epidemic, most Chinese can strengthen non-drug measures such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining safe distance and other public health measures but pneumonia is still the third leading cause of death among Chinese people, with 13736 deaths throughout the year!
The covi vaccine arrives. It is difficult to know whether the elderly can be fully vaccinated with two doses. This autumn and winter seasonal influenza vaccine and streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine should be vaccinated as soon as possible. Studies have shown that as long as there is influenza vaccination as well as the streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine, even if the high-risk group is infected with covid, it can greatly reduce the risk of serious illness and death.”
Luo Yonghong, assistant professor at the Department of Thoracic Medicine, Beirong, said, “Covid ravages the world but it may cause severe pneumonia. The disease that even causes death is not only covid. Before the emergence of the novel coronavirus (covi), pneumonia was the third of the top ten causes of death in the country. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent pneumonia when entering autumn and winter. In addition to the covi vaccine, influenza vaccination and pneumococcal vaccination are also very important."
Elderly persons over 65 years of age may decline in physical function and resistance. After the flu, they may cause severe complications such as acute bronchitis, pneumonia, hospitalization and death. The probability of being is much higher than that of other age groups.
Streptococcus pneumoniae often lurks in the human nasal cavity and can be transmitted through droplets. Once a cold or weakened immunity, the rapidly replicating streptococcus pneumoniae can invade the respiratory tract and cause pneumonia. The elderly over 65 is one of the two highest morbidity groups.
Luo Yonghong, assistant professor of the attending physician of Beirong Department of Thoracic Medicine, said, “Others that are classified as high-risk groups regardless of age include splenic dysfunction, or splenectomy. Patients with congenital or acquired immune insufficiency, artificial ear implants, patients with chronic diseases, or malignant tumors receiving immunosuppressive agents, or radiotherapy, and patients with organ transplantation."
Linkou Chang Gung Infectious Medicine Department Chief Physician Zheng Junwen, said, "Basically, the flu vaccine and the covid virus basically prevent two different viruses. However, some studies in the United Kingdom have found that if they are infected with some cases of covid and influenza at the same time, their death rate is higher than that of infection alone. The mortality rate of new coronary pneumonia is going to be high.”
If you get covid after the flu vaccination, the rate of severe illness will be whether it is the rate of intubation, the chance of sepsis, and the chance of going to the emergency department. There is flu vaccine. The number of people is lower than those who have not received the flu vaccine.
Zheng Junwen, attending physician in the Department of Infection Medicine of Chang Gung Memorial, Linkou, said, "Chronic heart and lung diseases, such high-risk patients, are also recommended to receive the streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine. Then we are receiving influenza vaccine and streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine. These vaccines are injected. , The interval between the new crown vaccine and the covi vaccine is generally recommended to be more than seven days. At the same time, you must be evaluated by a doctor when you receive the injection. As long as you do not have some acute fever, acute diseases, and your clinical condition is stable, you can accept this in principle."
Ye Guowei, attending physician at the Children’s Allergy, Asthma and Rheumatology Department of Chang Gung Children’s Department of TVBS, Linkou, said, “A retrospective survey of 65-year-old adults who had received 13-valent streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine in the past by a US study found that it can reduce the number of confirmed diagnoses by 30%. Unfortunately, if you get covid, it also reduces the chance of becoming severe or dead by 30%. However, if a patient is unfortunately infected with pneumococcal pneumonia and covid at the same time, the mortality rate is higher than that of only infected with pneumonia. 8 times, vaccination with streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine can reduce the risk of secondary bacterial infections and severe illness and death in case of infection with the covid virus.”
The doctor reminded that autumn and winter are the seasons when most viruses are active, especially for multiple respiratory viruses and pneumonia caused by secondary bacterial infections. The covi vaccine alone is not enough to fight against the epidemic this autumn and winter. Especially for the elderly and serious injuries and other groups, vaccination against influenza and streptococcus pneumoniae can be strengthened for protection!

With the closure of the "Confucius Institutes", a major foreign propaganda organization of the Chinese Communist Party, around the world, teaching programs in Taiwan have begun to fill the gaps in Chinese teaching overseas.
On 28 September 2021, Taiwan signed a memorandum with six American universities and the University of Illinois in Chicago to launch the "Proofreading School" and "Youth Chinese Program". Taiwan’s representative to the United States, Xiao Meiqin, and U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Camille Dawson attended the signing ceremony via video connection.

The six corresponding American universities are the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Illinois at Urbana Champaign, University of Michigan at Flint, North Park University, Indiana University at Bloomingtom, Oakland University and South Southern Illinois University.
After the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 came into effect, the U.S. Department of Defense no longer provides scholarships for Chinese language study to American universities that cooperate with Confucius Institutes, and Confucius Institutes in various regions have been closed. In October 2020, in the "Language Learning Program", the US government proposed to increase Chinese learning institutions outside of mainland China, and the "Taiwan-U.S. Education Initiative" came into being. The Chinese language teaching provided by Taiwan in the United States will become an important channel for Americans to understand Chinese culture after the Confucius Institute exits.

However, the stock market is reflecting in advance. In fact, what is said for the two major countries of China and the United States. Especially this part of China."
The U.S. Dow Jones Index plunged 600 points, which also caused Taiwan stocks to plummet, and the international economic situation took a sharp turn.
According to scholars, the financial market has reflected two major concerns in advance. On the one hand, the Fed’s policy is shifting. The inflation problem may greatly advance the shrinking of the balance sheet and raising interest rates, which will hinder the expansion of the US economy. In the recent wave of strict policies in mainland China, the authorities' push for "common prosperity" made the outside world even more dumbfounded.
Liang Guoyuan, Dean of Yuanta’s Baohua Institute for Comprehensive Economics: “It (the CCP) must have some ideology, and it must have the “common prosperity” of the whole people. The problem is that once this policy is implemented, China’s The rate of economic growth will definitely fall. So you said that the stock market will reflect this, and of course it will."
Yuanta Baohua Institute of Comprehensive Economics pointed out that since August, the annual growth rate of China's imports and exports has both fallen, and investment growth has also fallen, indicating that the overall economy is weak. The power curtailment measures have recently spread to 20 provinces, and the impact remains to be seen.
Liang Guoyuan, Dean of Yuanta Baohua Institute of Comprehensive Economics, said, "Then, if the (power curtailment) continues to do this, it is obvious that the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) we see will be affected by one more factor. As far as the Evergrande incident is concerned, you said that it is a little stable, and its stock price is a little stable but at a low level, but the whole basic problem of the problem has not been solved yet."
Liang Guoyuan pointed out that China's economy is deeply mired in debt and housing bubble problems. The socialism of the authorities has prevailed to reverse the past open economic model. Economic growth will be suppressed. Investment institutions Goldman Sachs and Nomura Securities have recently lowered China's GDP growth expectations.

A sea of yellow, white flowers becoming a "spiritual hall"? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged "No"
News on 28 September made me so happy. "Global Network" quoted the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, claiming that many people expressed their gratitude to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for "sending flowers" because of Meng Wanzhou's "return to China", turning the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into a "sea of flowers". Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs "sincerely recommends that you do not come to send flowers anymore."
I saw pictures on the Internet. Most of the flowers sent were yellow and white. We know that in general, the flowers used in the ceremonies of the dead are these two colours. After a certain CCP leader dies, CCTV reports will say "Lying in the bushes of thousands of flowers."
This makes me wonder whether the flower-giver really thanked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be dressed up as a mourning hall? Perhaps the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Communist Party also understood the intention of the netizens, but it is not easy to say directly, so it can only pretend to suggest "don't send it."
In fact, the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may have something to do with the CCP’s emergency brake on the Meng Wanzhou incident. Since yesterday (27th), the Chinese Communist Party's official media has stopped related patriotic propaganda. Now I check various official media and portal websites in the mainland, and only a few websites still retain relevant reports on Meng Wanzhou, mainly articles criticizing the United States and Canada.
This is how it happened? If according to the publicity of the Chinese Communist Party's official media two days ago, it is claimed that Meng Wanzhou is the result of the Chinese Communist Party's diplomacy and the result of pressure on the United States and Canada. So according to the characteristics of the CCP, it should continue to use this incident to agitate people for patriotism. Why did the CCP change its tone after only two days of heat?
Some mainland netizens disclosed that on the day Meng Wanzhou arrived in mainland China, all Huawei employees who greeted and shouted slogans at the airport received a subsidy of 500 yuan per person.
It can be basically seen from this news that the real mainland people do not welcome her. In order to create a false scene, the CCP organized a crowd to the airport to express "welcome." A lot of news, especially the details of the call between Biden and Xi Jinping, have been disclosed. This is a "captive exchange" transaction between the United States and China.

Meng Wanzhou’s stance changed early, Huawei’s father and daughter "frustrated"
The Wall Street Journal on 28 Septemberquoted an insider to disclose, “In fact, Huawei’s management has been quietly preparing for Meng Wanzhou’s release for months.”
The well-informed US lawyer in China, William Taylor, said that by the end of the spring of this year, Meng Wanzhou and her father and Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei were very "frustrated." Because the case was "long delay", they strengthened the legal and public relations team.
Taylor joined Meng Wanzhou's lawyers around May, and his clear task was to "reach an agreement." But the bottom line of the U.S. Department of Justice is that Meng Wanzhou must admit the matter alleged by the U.S. and admit that Huawei deliberately defrauded a bank.
I don't know how you understand it. Let me tell you a short story first, which was told to me by a friend of Falun Gong practitioners. A Falun Gong practitioner used to be in mainland China and was detained in a labor camp around 2000.
At that time, as long as Falun Gong practitioners said "no longer practice", the CCP would immediately release the people. But those Falun Gong practitioners who were sent to the labor camp did not say anything against their will. One drug addict didn’t understand. He said, “These people are so stupid that they can go home without practicing. Why don’t they? If the government let me go home and let me say that my father is a counter-revolutionary, I will say.” .
Through this story, what do you think of Meng Wanzhou? Judging from the inside information disclosed by those insiders, both Meng Wanzhou and Ren Zhengfei are eager to reach an agreement with the US Department of Justice. Under such circumstances, will Meng Wanzhou still insist on his position?
On September 19, Taylor conveyed Meng Wanzhou's "concession" to the U.S. Department of Justice. So officials from the U.S. Department of Justice notified the U.S. Department of State and relevant Canadian departments.
The Wall Street Journal quoted officials from the U.S. Department of Justice and people close to Meng Wanzhou's legal team as saying that "behind this is a huge change in Meng Wanzhou's legal stance," which led to "a breakthrough in negotiations."
It was precisely because Meng Wanzhou's stance changed drastically and he admitted the crime that allowed the next step to proceed. From Taylor’s perspective, Meng Wanzhou’s change of position and admission of crime are a necessary prerequisite for reaching an agreement. Only by doing this can it be possible to be released.

A "replacement of prisoners" agreed in July? Meng Wanzhou's back deal
The Financial Times quoted sources as saying that Meng Wanzhou’s release was facilitated by the US Deputy Secretary of State Sherman’s visit to China in July. When Sherman met with the Chinese Communist Party’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Tianjin, they had already discussed the issues of Meng Wanzhou, Kang Mingkai, and Spaffer.
The source said that the July meeting was full of gunpowder but the "only result" was also achieved, which was the release of Meng Wanzhou and the three others.
This news seems to corroborate Taylor's statement. In recent months, Huawei has quietly prepared Meng Wanzhou to return to China. However, there is a saying in China that the roots of the tree do not move, and the tops of the tree shake in vain. Although Meng Wanzhou’s stance changed drastically, he admitted crimes, and the top leaders of the United States and China agreed to release the three people, but in the end it was only after the top leaders of the two sides that the people were truly released.
On 27 September, the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hua Chunying, said that the Chinese and American leaders talked on the phone at the beginning of this month and Xi Jinping “requested the United States to properly resolve this incident”. Hua Chunying's illocutionary implication is that the United States only released people under Xi Jinping's "request."
Hua Chunying mentioned the telephone conversation between the leaders of China and the United States and talked about Meng Wanzhou, which is consistent with what the US said. But the content is substantially different.
White House Spokesperson Psaki said yesterday that when Biden was on the phone with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he “has pressured Xi Jinping” to release two Canadians. Xi Jinping mentioned the case of Meng Wanzhou. In other words, Psaki is suggesting that the CCP engages in "hostage diplomacy."
The United States and China each speak their own words, who should we trust? I believe everyone will have their own judgment. After Meng Wanzhou was arrested, the CCP asked the United States to release people more than once on various occasions, but the United States did not release them. After Biden and Xi Jinping spoke this time, the US released Meng Wanzhou. At the same time, the CCP released two Canadians, Kang Mingkai and Spaffer.
In addition, please note that on 28 September many media reported one incident. That is, when Meng Wanzhou left Vancouver, not only did the two Canadian men detained by the CCP flew out of Beijing, but the CCP also allowed two American siblings to leave China.
The two American siblings refer to Cynthia Liu and Victor Liu. These siblings have been banned from leaving China since 2018. The CCP’s reason is that their father, former bank executive Liu Changming, is suspected of fraud and has been wanted by the CCP. The siblings have already returned to the United States on the 25th.
The Wall Street Journal stated that this seemingly well-arranged "prison exchange" operation has solved a major concern between the United States, China and Canada.
However, Gladys of the Marshall Foundation believes that the US government "has not surrendered." The Asian expert told Reuters, “The deal China (the CCP) made to get Meng Wanzhou's release was already on the table during the Trump (Trump) administration. She must admit wrongdoing, And in the end this is exactly what she did."
I have said more than once that transactions are often hidden behind politics. The incident of Meng Wanzhou has already shown us the behind-the-scenes transaction between the United States and China. But there is actually a secret, which may also have the role of Wall Street bosses.
An insider disclosed to Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post that in late August, the Chinese Communist Party’s Vice Premier Han Zheng told former Goldman Sachs president John Thornton who had secretly visited China that one of China’s major demands was that the United States abandon the extradition of Meng Wanzhou.
As for whether Thornton relayed this message to the US, it was not mentioned in the report. However, the report did point out that Thornton’s contacts with CCP officials have enabled him to "pass information between the Chinese and American leadership and exchange policy positions between the two sides."

Thornton secret meeting Beijing official visited Xinjiang, once for the CCP
The South China Morning Post of Hong Kong exclusively disclosed for two consecutive days that John Thornton had visited China twice and sent messages to the US on behalf of the Beijing authorities. Some insiders believe that Thornton's role is like Kissinger.
The article pointed out that since the outbreak of the CCP virus, the CCP has adopted a closed-door policy to keep most foreigners out of the country. But Thornton, the current executive chairman of Barrick Gold, secretly visited Beijing at the end of August and met with the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China and Vice Premier Han Zheng.
The Wall Street magnate’s latest secret visit to China was before climate envoy Kerry visited China on August 31. According to a person familiar with the situation, Thornton's trip to China lasted six weeks. First stayed in Shanghai for 3 weeks, and then met with the Vice Premier of the Communist Party of China Han Zheng in Beijing. The two sides discussed key issues such as climate change, Xinjiang and the conditions for resuming bilateral talks.
According to insiders, Thornton was granted "unprecedented access rights" and he visited Xinjiang for a week, and was said to have been appreciated by Han Zheng. The article stated that Han Zheng asked Thornton to convey his experience in Xinjiang to members of the U.S. Congress and asked the U.S. not to adopt "double standards" against China.
Before Thornton's visit to China, he explained his trip to China to White House officials. At that time, White House officials twice asked Thornton not to visit Xinjiang, because this would be misunderstood by the outside world that Washington recognized the CCP’s repressive policies in Xinjiang. But Thornton didn't seem to take it seriously, and he still arranged a trip to Xinjiang.
The report also stated that during the meeting with Han Zheng, Han Zheng also refuted the "two-handed operation" of the Biden administration against the CCP. On the one hand, it continues the previous government’s tough approach to the CCP, on the other hand, it seeks cooperation with China on limited issues such as climate change. Han Zheng allegedly told Thornton that "continuing Trump's hardline approach will not work."
In addition, Thornton told Han Zheng that the Biden government has new demands on China, including reducing methane emissions. Han Zheng said that China will stop foreign aid in the construction of coal-fired power plants and gradually shut down domestic coal-fired power plants. Thornton then proposed to China to change the English expression of the carbon peak target from "by 2030" to "before 2030".
In other words, Thornton suggested that China’s phrase “in 2030” should be changed to “before 2030”. This is to respond to the demands of the U.S. without having to promise to advance to a specific date.
In addition, Thornton also told Han Zheng that he believes that Kerry is not only negotiating climate issues with the CCP on behalf of the United States, but on behalf of the overall relationship between the United States and China.
After Kerry visited China, CCP officials stated that climate cooperation cannot be separated from the overall US-China relationship. Moreover, Xi Jinping announced at the UN General Assembly last week that China would no longer assist foreign countries in building coal power plants.

Leak the U.S. trump card? About the legitimacy of the CCP
Thornton's first visit to China was in late January this year, after Biden entered the White House. During this visit to China, Thornton also met many CCP officials, including Vice President Wang Qishan, Vice Premier Liu He, and Director Yang Jiechi of the Foreign Affairs Office of the CCP.
The South China Morning Post stated that Thornton conveyed to his old friends the priorities of the new US administration. These include fighting the epidemic, revitalizing the economy, and reunifying the divided United States. Thornton told Wang Qishan that the personal relationship between Xi Jinping and Biden would help repair US-China relations, and that the two countries have room to sit down and discuss trade.
The article pointed out that the meeting with Liu He and Yang Jiechi paved the way for Liu He's video call with U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen and Trade Representative Dai Qi in June.
Here we need to talk about the talks between Thornton and Wang Qishan in particular. Wang Qishan is an old friend of Thornton. They had formed a friendship as early as 1990. Thornton, who oversaw Goldman Sachs's Asian operations at the time, met Wang Qishan, then president of China Construction Bank. Later, the Wall Street bank received an initial public offering contract from China Telecom. After Thornton left Goldman Sachs in 2003, he became a professor and director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
The article quoted an insider saying that Wang Qishan’s long conversation with Thornton “goes far beyond daily politics. It talked about the history of China and the United States, the conflict of civilizations, and one of the most sensitive topics surrounding Sino-US relations-the ruling of the Communist Party of China. legality".
During the conversation, Wang Qishan criticized the Trump administration for "designing the decoupling of the two countries" and "creating a rift" between the CCP and the people. Wang Qishan expressed that he hoped that the Biden administration would change the course of the United States. It should understand China instead of continuing to decouple and so on.
A person familiar with Thornton's conversation with Wang Qishan told the South China Morning Post anonymously that Thornton is an old friend of some CCP leaders and senior officials. "As a person who understands China, he helped convey the message between the two countries when the relationship between the two countries faced challenges." "Thornton's role is similar to Kissinger about 50 years ago."
In fact, there are more than just such people in the United States. This phenomenon may exist even in Taiwan, which the CCP wants to "eat".

The CCP's actions are too coincidental? Taiwan legislators questioned a leak
On 27 September, Taiwan's Legislative Yuan invited relevant officials such as Chairman of the Council of Agriculture Chen Jizhong, Minister of Economy Wang Meihua and other relevant officials to attend and report on the "Impact of Joining CPTPP on Taiwan's Industries-Positioning, Timeline Planning and Response".
During this period, DPP legislator Cai Yiyu questioned that China (the Chinese Communist Party) proposed to apply for CPTPP during this period, which is quite confusing. "Is it because Taiwan has to apply for CPTPP, because China (the CCP) has rushed to apply before Taiwan."
As we talked about a few days ago, both sides of the strait have submitted applications to join the CPTPP Trans-Pacific Partnership Comprehensive Progress Agreement. However, the CCP is one week earlier than Taiwan, so the two sides have posed a big problem for the CPTPP member states.
The performance of the CCP in the WTO has already been seen by all countries in the world, and it is impossible for the CCP to abide by the organization's regulations. I haven't had it before, and I won't be in the future. This point is already clear to the member states of CPTPP. But if you don’t agree with the CCP’s membership, you may be retaliated against by the CCP in other ways.
If you agree to the CCP’s membership, it will pose a greater threat to Taiwan. According to the regulations of CPTPP, all members who request to join the organization must negotiate with all members individually. Only when all member states agree that the country that requires membership will become a new member.
If the CCP joins the organization first, then Taiwan wants to join the association, there is almost no possibility. Based on the CCP's long-term bullying and suppression of Taiwan and international poaching, it will definitely not agree to Taiwan's entry.
Because of this, Cai Yiyu felt suspicious. Because at the stage when Taiwan was preparing for membership, the CCP first proposed membership. This time is too coincidental.
Cai Yiyu suspects that the CCP has rushed to apply for membership in the CPTPP before Taiwan. It may be that someone in Taiwan has leaked the news to the CCP. He believes that the Ministry of Economic Affairs should conduct an internal investigation to see if there is a possibility of leaking information from the inside.
But Wang Meihua said, "No comment."
In fact, most people in Taiwan work very hard and do not want to have any ties with the CCP. This is true for Taiwanese on the island, and even more so for Taiwanese in other countries.

Successfully rectified the name "Taiwanese" Taiwanese say so
Recently, the well-known American polling agency "Pew" released a "corrected" Asian American census report. This report separates the ethnic groups who self-identify as "Taiwanese" from the "Chinese" ethnic groups.
As early as 29 April, Pew released the "Repressive American Demographic Report." Approximately 220,000 people who originally identified as "Taiwanese" were classified as "Chinese". This report triggered a series of protests by Taiwanese in the United States, demanding Pew to apologize and correct. The actions of the Taiwanese in the United States have been signed and supported by more than 700 people.
After 5 months, Pew finally responded to the demands of Taiwanese in the United States and released Updated demographic report. Among them, "Taiwanese" and "Chinese" are distinguished, and the original "Chinese" column is changed to "Chinese (including Taiwanese)". And two columns "Taiwanese" and "Chinese (excluding Taiwanese)" have been added below.
Not only that, Pew also published an article on what is "Taiwanese". He also pointed out that the Taiwanese ethnic group living in the United States ranges from 195,000 to 697,000.
Hu Ruohan, Director of Citizen Affairs Participation Affairs of the Taiwan American Citizens Association, told Radio Free Asia, “Taiwan is different from China because of two different countries and different systems. One is dictatorship and the other is democracy. This is much different! It is like the difference between day and night. a lot of!"
Hu Ruohan said, "Democratic countries and dictatorships are much different. The two systems are different. Taiwan has its own history and has been influenced by Japanese rule. The Communist Party is in China, and Taiwan is not the Communist Party."
Hu Ruohan also emphasized, "The process of promoting Taiwanese identity to be seen does not have any negative connotations for'Chinese'." She said that her friends will not hate Chinese people, just because she is from Taiwan and her parents are born in Taiwan. "We are Taiwanese, and we are proud that we are Taiwanese."
To say this to Hu Ruohan, I need to talk about my feelings. By my side, there are many people from all over the world, as well as Chinese. Among the Chinese, of course there are both from mainland China and some from Taiwan.
In my contact with Taiwanese, I found that both boys and girls are very kind, and they didn't make me feel that they hate mainland Chinese. But when it comes to the CCP, they all dislike the CCP’s dictatorship and the CCP’s evil system.
I am not the only person who feels this way. Many people around me from mainland China share the same feeling. So Hu Ruohan said, "I won't hate the Chinese", I believe it.
Ye Jieting, who lives in San Francisco, is from Chiayi, Taiwan. He told Radio Free Asia that he did not want to be mistaken for being from another country. "Taiwanese have another level of sensitivity to China because of China (the CCP) attitude towards Taiwan."
Ye Jieting said, “Facing a country like China (the CCP) that does not rise peacefully, we do not want to be classified in the category of the entire Chinese.”
I think these two Taiwanese in the United States are very representative of their statements, and they have also made it clear why they place so much importance on the status of "Taiwanese".
Speaking of this, I think of a comment from a netizen two days ago. This friend denounced the Chinese Communist Party's lie that "Taiwan is part of Chinese territory."
The message read: The government of the Republic of China fought the war against Japan for 30 years on the mainland. Taiwan, the Republic of China, was a member of the UN Council from 1950 to 1971 and has a history of 20 years of contribution.
This friend pointed out that the Communist Party was clearly a political party established during the Republic of China, but it established a Soviet Republic in the Northeast. But when it came time to resist the Japanese, they said they would return to the Republic of China.
The CCP seized the power of the mainland, and later launched political campaigns such as the Cultural Revolution, which caused the deaths of many Chinese people. The CCP owed the Chinese people a bloodbath.
The Republic of China has never disappeared or changed its name. It has always existed in Taiwan, and it has been 110 years since the Republic of China.

The new president of the Liberal Democratic Party is confirmed, the CCP is pleased to express its stance
The results of the election for the president of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party have been announced on 29 September. After two rounds of elections, the 64-year-old former Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida defeated the Minister of Administrative Reform Taro Kono by an absolute advantage of 257 to 170 votes.
The spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hua Chunying, said at the afternoon press conference that China is willing to work with Japan’s new ruling team to "abide by the four principles of China-Japan political documents" and promote the "correct" development of China-Japan relations.
The academic circles of the Chinese Communist Party have also "blowed", saying that Fumio Kishida used to be a dovish stance. It is a campaign strategy to say some "ruthless remarks" before the election. After the election, the dovish stance may be restored.
The Chinese Communist Party’s official media "Global Times" quoted Zhou Yongsheng, a professor at the Institute of International Relations at the China Foreign Affairs University, as saying that Kishida frequently spoke harshly to China (the CCP) during the election campaign, and suddenly made "extreme remarks," which "may be regarded as a campaign strategy for the time being." After taking office, he may not take an extreme right-wing line.
Zhou Yongsheng also stated that Japan should "proactively seek to improve Sino-Japanese relations." If Japan can establish a long-term regime, "it is conducive to the stability and development of relations between the two countries."
As soon as Kishida Fumio won the victory, the CCP reacted immediately. This is very different from its attitude towards the US election. On November 3, 2020, the results of the US general election were announced. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China did not state until November 13, "Congratulations to Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris."
But this time the Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election, the CCP immediately made a statement, and it seemed to be flattering.
News (25)
Advocating tough on the CCP, Kishida may disappoint Beijing
Why does the CCP care so much about the Liberal Democratic Party election in Japan? There is an important reason for this. Fumio Kishida is very likely to become Japan's 100th Prime Minister.
Next Monday, Japan's Senate and House of Representatives will conduct prime minister nomination elections. If there is no major accident, Fumio Kishida will be elected smoothly. This is because the Liberal Democratic Party is the majority party in both houses of the Japanese Senate and House of Representatives.
The CCP has seen this a long time ago, so it is eager to open a gap here in Kishida Fumio to improve the declining Sino-Japanese relations.
The decline in Sino-Japanese relations is a well-known fact. It is mainly caused by the various evil acts of the CCP at home and abroad, which makes Japan, a neighbor, have a very bad impression of the CCP. Not long ago, because of issues such as the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands, the two sides almost exchanged fire.
And just like the Chinese Communist Party academics said, Fumio Kishida was relatively weak against the CCP earlier, so he was regarded as a "dovish". This may be seen by the CCP as an opportunity, thinking that Kishida had to say a few "cruel words" for the election.
Do you believe that Kishida's statement before the election was a temporary change in the general election?
Before the election, Kishida publicly stated that Japan should cooperate with the United States and other like-minded countries to firmly resist authoritarian regimes like China (the CCP). In the middle of this month, he said, “In order to protect universal values such as freedom, democracy, the rule of law, and human rights, we need to firmly express our views in the face of the expansion of authoritarian regimes such as China (the CCP), and at the same time Countries that share these values cooperate."
Kishida plans to strengthen the capabilities of the Coast Guard. This means that Japan may not make concessions on a series of island issues in the Senkaku Islands (also known as the Diaoyutai Islands in China).
In addition, Kishida also supported a resolution passed by the Japanese Diet condemning the CCP’s treatment of Uyghurs. He hopes to appoint a prime minister to assist officials to oversee how the CCP treats Uyghurs.
In addition, Fumio Kishida also welcomes Taiwan to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership Comprehensive Progress Agreement CPTPP. He also publicly stated a few days ago that “Taiwan is an important economic partner for Japan.” He also expressed support for Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly as an observer.
More importantly, Kishida Fumio believes that once an incident occurs in Taiwan, Japan will respond in accordance with the Security Guarantee Association Law. This statement is similar to that of Japan’s Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso. Taro Aso stated on July 5 that if the CCP invades Taiwan, Japan "will send troops to protect Taiwan" and so on.

The establishment does not waver, Japan will continue to expand its military power?
Before the general election, Fumio Kishida had many statements related to the CCP, most of which were tough positions. Does this look like a temporary statement? At least I don't think so now, I think the CCP will still be disappointed.
We know that the CCP officials always talk about one thing and do another thing, and they speak in a high-sounding manner, but they are all deceiving the people. What CCP officials really value is how to please their superiors and how to maximize their own interests. As for how the people feel, the CCP officials will not take care of them, because they are not elected by the people, but appointed by the people above.
Japan is a free and democratic country, and government officials and members of parliament are all elected by the people. If the people are dissatisfied with them, the people can use their votes to oust him. If Fumio Kishida's performance is inconsistent before and after the election, the Japanese parliament may not agree, and the Japanese people may not agree.
Geoffrey Hornon, a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation, told Reuters that Fumio Kishida is unlikely to trigger a huge change in policy because Japan is seeking to deal with the ever-expanding CCP. He believes, "This is a victory for the establishment. Kishida represents stability and does not waver."
So I think the CCP will most likely continue to be disappointed. But we can't be absolute, let's take a look while walking. If Fumio Kishida continues the establishment's tough stance on the CCP, the government he will form is likely to continue to invest in military development.
Japan has spent millions of dollars on long-range missiles and is developing a new type of vehicle-mounted anti-ship missile with an estimated range of 1,000 kilometers. Last year, the U.S. State Department agreed that Japan would spend 23 billion U.S. dollars to purchase 105 F-35 fighter jets. Let’s see if these plans will be accelerated.

The CCP's threat is too great, the Indo-Pacific countries are vying for armaments
If Japan continues to expand its military strength, I will not be surprised at all. Because the CCP’s threat is becoming more and more obvious and serious, any country will take some countermeasures. In other words, the CCP has provoked an arms race in the Indo-Pacific region.
Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post quoted analysts on 30 September as warning that as governments react to the CCP’s military growth and tensions surrounding North Korea’s weapons program persist, Asia may be speeding up the arms race.
The article pointed out that the CCP is mass-producing "Dongfeng 26" missiles. This is a multi-purpose offensive weapon that can be equipped with a nuclear warhead and has a range of 4,000 kilometers.
During the military parade in 2019, the CCP also demonstrated a new type of UAV, its intercontinental ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, with the aim of attacking US military bases and aircraft carriers in Asia.
The CCP’s hypersonic missile is the “Dongfeng 17”, which can theoretically exceed the speed of sound by a lot. In addition, the CCP also possesses the "Dongfeng 41" missile, which is also the backbone of the CCP's nuclear deterrence and can strike the United States with multiple warheads.
The CCP's continuous expansion of these heavy weapons not only threatens the United States, but Asian countries feel even stronger as China's neighbors. In addition to Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Australia also feel that the threat from the CCP is approaching. Therefore, they are also expanding their military power to deal with the huge threat from the CCP.
Earlier this month, Taiwan announced a plan. Spend 8.69 billion US dollars in the next five years to upgrade existing weapons, including long-range missiles and existing cruise missiles.
Taiwan’s plan also includes a new type of missile. Taiwanese media said that the range of this new type of missile can reach 1,200 kilometers. Last month, Washington approved the sale of 40 howitzer systems to Taiwan, with a total transaction value of US$750 million.
Last year, the U.S. government approved the sale of 100 Boeing harpoon return systems to Taiwan. It includes three weapon systems including missiles, sensors and artillery, as well as four cutting-edge drones, with a total value of approximately US$5 billion.
On 16 September, the United States, Britain and Australia established a new Indo-Pacific alliance. The United States and Britain will help Australia build at least eight nuclear-powered submarines. According to the trilateral agreement, Australia will also develop hypersonic missiles. In addition, Australia will also install Tomahawk cruise missiles and two advanced fighters on existing warships.
One is the F/A-18 Hornet, which can strike targets within a range of 900 kilometers, and will be equipped with precision-guided missiles capable of destroying targets over 400 kilometers. The other is the F-35A Lightning II jet, which will carry air-to-surface missiles to increase long-range strike capability, with a range of nearly 600 kilometers.
This is because the CCP has recently suppressed Australia more and more, and the threat has become more and more serious. There are even voices within the CCP claiming that Australia may be the first country to suffer a nuclear attack. Therefore, Australia has to guard against the CCP.
Compared with Taiwan and Australia, the CCP’s threat to South Korea is not obvious, but South Korea is also working hard to expand its armaments. On the surface, South Korea’s armament expansion seems to be in response to North Korea.
But the threat from North Korea does not exist now, but has always existed, and South Korea has not developed missiles before. It was precisely after the CCP continued to expand its military strength that South Korea took corresponding actions. Therefore, it is very likely that South Korea is also targeting the CCP.
It successfully tested submarine-launched ballistic missiles on September 15 and became the first country without nuclear weapons to develop such a system. The missile is said to be an upgraded version of South Korea’s original land-based "Hyunmo-2B" with a range of about 500 kilometers. Last year, the "Xianmao-4" missile was also developed, which can carry objects of 2 tons and has a range of 800 kilometers.
South Korea has also announced other new types of missiles, including the supersonic cruise missile that will be deployed soon. In addition, South Korean President Moon Jae-in had promised before the election that he would build a nuclear submarine, but he did not implement it after he took office. I don't know if the election promise will be fulfilled under the increasing threat from the CCP and North Korea.
Through the military expansion of Taiwan, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, it can be seen that the CCP has disturbed its neighbors. If this vicious circle continues, the world may be even more difficult for peace. The Chinese overseas may be even more dangerous.

British students were attacked 8 times in 10 days, the CCP is the bane
On 29 September, "Global Network" reported that since 20 September, a number of Chinese students studying in the UK have been attacked. There were 8 cases within 10 days, and the victims were mostly women. The Chinese Consulate General in Manchester "condemned" the attack and urged the British police to bring criminals to justice.
According to an international student with the pseudonym "Xiaoxue", most Chinese students from the University of Sheffield who were attacked were attacked from behind. Some people claimed that the attackers were a white woman and an Asian woman.
Zhang, a Chinese student studying at Cambridge University, was attacked when he was out shopping. Approximately 10 teenagers allegedly approached, insulted him as a "Chinese guy" and attacked him, causing Zhang's nasal bone to be fractured. After that, the group of teenagers fled the scene of the crime.
According to the report, a legal adviser who specializes in dealing with Chinese students in the UK said that the motive behind the series of attacks has not yet been determined, but it may be hate crime or "Hong Kong independence" evil.
This Chinese in Britain judged that "Hong Kong independence" was doing evil. I don't know the basis of his judgment. Judging from the situation introduced above, most of the attackers were Westerners, and this has little to do with "Hong Kong independence".
Although there is an Asian woman, there are many Asian countries, and the article does not point out that the Asian woman is Chinese. Therefore, I cannot agree with the so-called "Hong Kong independence" judgment.
As for hate crimes, I think this is more likely. This is because there are also attacks on Chinese in the United States, but it is obvious that after the global pandemic of the Chinese Communist Party virus, attacks on Chinese have increased.
As you all know, the CCP virus has claimed the lives of millions of people around the world. Watching their relatives and friends die, of course foreigners will feel sad. But this situation is because the CCP concealed the truth about the epidemic, which caused the virus to spread and make them lose their loved ones. So if it is related to "hate crimes," it is also hatred caused by the CCP. In other words, if it is a "hate crime" against the Chinese, then the CCP is the root of the poison.
Since the CCP virus pandemic, the CCP’s evil deeds and ugliness have aggravated the resentment of Western countries. However, the CCP is unwilling to take any responsibility and does not recognize that the virus first appeared in China. It has successively dumped different countries, including the United States, Italy, Japan, Denmark, and so on.
Western countries themselves hate communism, and the evil behavior of the CCP has exacerbated people's disgust, so theoretically there is a motive for revenge. But they don't know who the CCP is or where the CCP is. They are likely to regard the Chinese as targets of revenge.
This situation is understandable, because foreigners can't distinguish the relationship between the CCP and China, and the relationship between the CCP and the Chinese. Not to mention foreigners, even many Chinese can't tell the relationship between the CCP, China and the Chinese. There are often mainland netizens who leave messages at the bottom of our videos, mentioning related issues.
China has a long history that stretches for thousands of years. The CCP has only a hundred years of history, and it usurped the power to rule China. How can a ruling party represent a country? Just like the Republican and Democratic parties of the United States, no matter which party is in power, it cannot represent the United States.
The CCP also cannot represent China. It is just a ruling party. Yesterday I was still saying that the Republic of China has always been there, just in Taiwan, now it has a history of 110 years. Therefore, the CCP not only cannot represent China, but also cannot represent the hard-working and kind-hearted Chinese people. It is not qualified.
I said a word earlier, that there is one who is wronged and the one who is in debt. If people really want to collect debts, they should go to the CCP to settle their accounts. Foreign CCP embassies and consulates are the representatives of the CCP. International students and other Chinese in foreign countries, they are not the CCP, most of them are kind-hearted Chinese, and they should not be subject to such retaliation.
Of course, another situation cannot be ruled out, that is, foreign students may have misbehavior. For example, doing things for the CCP, etc., this may also arouse the disgust of foreigners. Although it is a minority, this situation does exist.
I am not saying that this is the case with the students who were attacked in the UK, I am just saying that this is the case. The CCP has many spies in the UK, all of whom are students and scholars. This situation is more common in the United States.

Chinese student was investigated for 50 hours and deported by the U.S.
Today (29th) the official website of the Chinese Embassy in the United States mentioned one thing. When a Chinese student entered Houston, he was interrogated by the U.S. for more than 50 hours before being repatriated. The Chinese Embassy criticized the U.S. for disrupting cultural exchanges and made "stern representations."
The Chinese Embassy stated in a press release that a Chinese student who obtained a legal visa issued by the US government was "unreasonably harassed" when entering the country. Claiming that personal freedom was restricted for more than 50 hours in a small space, the student was eventually repatriated via a third country.
The press release stated that it urges the United States to implement its statement of welcoming Chinese students and "stop repatriation, interrogation, and nuisance of Chinese students studying in the United States", so as to create a good atmosphere for U.S.-China cooperation in cultural exchanges and education.
After reading this news and what the Chinese Communist Party said, I felt very funny. The CCP requires the United States to "stop repatriation and interrogation." How can this be possible? If the United States discovers any problems, can it not be checked and repatriated?
In fact, this is not the first case of a Chinese student deported. In August, there were already 3 A Chinese student was deported. Also holding a US visa, but also in Houston. And according to the Chinese government in July, at least 500 Chinese students' visa applications were rejected.
I don't know what is wrong with the student who was interrogated and deported for a long time, including the three students who were deported in August, so I can't make any conclusions.
But there is a saying in China that flies do not bite seamless eggs. Is there something suspicious, or has something to do with the Chinese Communist government, that arouses the vigilance of the United States?
Everyone knows that during the Trump administration, there was a policy restricting Chinese student visas. This is because the United States has discovered that the US’s annual losses of about US$600 billion are related to the CCP. Many of them are Chinese students and scholars in the United States who stole American intellectual property rights.
In response to this situation, the Trump administration has tightened the issuance of visas for Chinese students. Although the Biden administration has gradually relaxed some visa issuance policies, it is not completely open and treats them differently. The United States has only relaxed the student visa without problems. If the United States finds that there are problems or doubts, it will still refuse to issue visas and refuse entry.
It should be pointed out that those students who are denied entry and suspected of having problems are not necessarily related to the CCP. But for Americans, how to confirm whether there is a problem is quite difficult. So in this case, it is very likely to be "suspicion of crimes", because Americans will also consider their own national interests.
In this case, I can only say that I was victimized by the CCP. The CCP’s perception of people is too bad and it has done too many bad things, and foreigners can't help but prevent it. So I said that if you want to complain, you have to blame the CCP. This is another scourge planted by the CCP.

Fumio Kishida will become Japanese Prime Minister, the Chinese Communist Party will be the first to put on the "tightening curse"?
On 29 September 2021, the results of the election of the president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan were announced. The former political chairman Fumio Kishida won a 257 votes over the minister of administrative reform Taro Kono and became the 27th president of the Liberal Democratic Party. It is expected that on October 4, Fumio Kishida will be named by the Provisional Parliament and become the 100th Prime Minister.
Fumio Kishida was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1957 and is 64 years old this year. He comes from a political family in Japan. Both his grandfather and father served as members of the House of Representatives.
Kishida once said that his specialty is "listening ability." It is said that in 10 years, he recorded nearly 30 notebooks of the sentiments of Japanese citizens. After being elected, he faced domestic challenges, including epidemic prevention, party personnel reorganization, cabinet reorganization, and the House of Representatives election.
Of course, the situation in the Indo-Pacific region is now tense, and the outside world is generally concerned about the new prime minister's attitude towards the CCP.
Kishida used to be considered a "dove against China". East Asian International Relations scholar Lin Quanzhong analyzed the BBC that Kishida's previous stance on China was relatively weak, and he was deemed "not courageous" in the party, society, or the United States.
However, after he announced his candidacy this time, he has repeatedly stated to the media that if he is elected, he will fight against the CCP as his top priority.
For example, in early September, Kishida told Nikkei Asia that he was “deeply shocked” by Beijing’s diplomatic and economic attacks, and “will share the same values as the United States, Europe, India, and Australia. Countries cooperate to oppose the autocratic system."
In mid-September, when he explained his foreign and security policies to the media, he said that if he becomes Japanese prime minister, he will create two important positions of "human rights" and "economic security" to deal with China's human rights issues and protect Japan's economy and advancement. Technical security. He also revealed that he will support the revision of relevant laws, strengthen the response to the CCP’s maritime threats, and increase the defense budget when necessary.
Lin Quanzhong believes that the series of actions taken by Kishida in the election did have a "bright eye" effect and won a lot of applause within the party. This was also his "first step to success" in the election.
As for such a person who has a strong anti-Communist stance at this stage, the CCP has given a seemingly friendly response.
At a regular press conference on the 29th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying stated that China is willing to work with Japan’s new ruling team to “abide by the principles and spirits established in the four political documents between China and Japan, and deepen pragmatism in all fields. Cooperation to promote the healthy and stable development of Sino-Japanese relations on the right track."
What does this statement mean?
Current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan said that this is a customary tactic of the CCP and must be polite to the newly elected leader. In fact, the mainland media previously supported Taro Kono on one side and reported negatively on Kishida. They wanted to create the illusion of "anti-Communist unpopularity", but it didn't work. Kishida was still elected.
Now, these words by Hua Chunying are not wooing Kishida, because the sentence "to abide by the principles and spirits determined by the four political documents of China and Japan" is a "tightening curse" for Kishida; and "deepening practical cooperation in various fields." One sentence is an advice, which somewhat makes him "know the current affairs". "Pragmatic cooperation" means that we hope to get some benefits, not to mention the imaginary human rights.
Tang Jingyuan believes that Japan is also an Oriental mind, and of course they can understand the meaning of the CCP. At the same time, many politicians did have a hard tone during elections, and it was different after they took their seats. Therefore, the outside world has to look back at Fumio Kishida's true attitude towards the CCP. At the same time, the international community has now formed a general trend of encirclement and suppression of the CCP, which will also have an impact on his decision.

Satire! Meng Wanzhou becomes an anti-American textbook, Ren Zhengfei seeks European and American talents
Next, let's talk about Meng Wanzhou and Huawei.
Regarding Meng Wanzhou, official media reports have quickly cooled down. However, the nationalism they incited is still fermenting among the people.
A few days ago, several pictures circulated on the Internet, showing that Meng Wanzhou has become a "patriotism" teaching material for mainland schools and an anti-American "national hero" that has been hyped up.
A picture shows that Class 8 of the fifth grade of the Second Experimental Primary School in Zouping City, Shandong Province assigned a Chinese homework to the students. The title is "The Enlightenment of the Meng Wanzhou Incident". There are six questions, including: Who is Meng Wanzhou? Who detained her? Why was she detained? How was she rescued? What does the Meng Wanzhou incident tell us? As a primary school student, what hope do you have for your future?
The elementary school personnel have confirmed to Radio Free Asia that this incident does exist, but it is only for individual classes, not a unified action for the whole school.
Another picture shows that a teacher is suspected of forwarding to the parent group the draft of the official WeChat account of the "Educator" under the party media "Guangming Daily", with the title "Today, tell students the story of Meng Wanzhou coming home". The content of the draft criticized the United States for planning the detention of Meng Wanzhou with the purpose of obstructing the development of China's science and technology.
In addition, the Ideological and Political Education Department of Jiangxi Ganxi Vocational College of Science and Technology organized students to watch the video of Meng Wanzhou's return to China on the 26th, and requested that relevant thematic class meetings be held to carry out the so-called "patriotic education" for the whole school.
Beijing dissident Hu Jia believes that the CCP will not miss the opportunity of Meng Wanzhou to inculcate hatred of the United States and "promote the prestige of the country" to the people, and young people are easily misled in the poor information environment. British Chinese-American writer Ma Jian said that the Meng Wanzhou incident was like a political joke, and the CCP completely reversed black and white. The truth of a matter would be counterproductive to them. The CCP uses this to brainwash young people and make young people lose their judgment and ability to resist.
At the same time, something ironic happened. According to an announcement on the 28th of Huawei's "Sounds of Heart Community" website, on August 12 this year, Ren Zhengfei made a statement inside the company. What is the subject? "2022 Excellent Talents & "High Nose" Acquisition Work Reporting Conference".
Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei now needs to be more active in acquiring the world's best talents, especially to find other ways to attract talents from other countries studying and working in Europe and the United States.
He emphasized that Huawei's overseas research institutes should assume the responsibility and mission of recruiting talents, and turn North America and overseas research institutes into a talent recruitment agency. 'Coming in, it will take three to five years to gradually move from the former'Tuba Road' to internationalization."
Everyone sees that such an absurd storyline, a little logical screenwriter dare not write, but it actually happened in China. The daughter was portrayed as an "anti-American hero", but Lao Tzu was anxious to recruit talents in the United States and all the Western world. (Current affairs)
Epoch Times columnist Wang He said that Ren Zhengfei's plan also reflects the large shortage of top talents in China. For Huawei to seize the market in the world, it must accumulate a large number of first-class industry talents, but the mainland's talent training mechanism cannot support it. In other words, the CCP’s "road of independent training of talents" has not been completed until now.

Xi raises again self-cultivation of talents, the CCP has become a roadblock
Speaking of "self-cultivation of talents," the CCP held a so-called talent work conference from September 27 to 28. All seven Politburo Standing Committee members attended by Xi Jinping; on the evening of the 28th, CCTV's "News Broadcast" took 18 minutes to report this. , Other party media have also reported. It shows how important this meeting is to Zhongnanhai.
Xi Jinping said at the meeting that “high-level technological self-reliance is the key” and “comprehensive national strength competition is, in the final analysis, talent competition”. We must increase our awareness of danger, pay more attention to independent training of talents, and accelerate the establishment of competitive advantages in human resources.
The commentator Zhong Yuan wrote an article in The Epoch Times that Xi’s remarks are tantamount to denying the talent achievements that he boasted at the same time. It also implicitly points out that for decades, the development of China's science and technology mainly relies on the use of doctrine, and once it is blocked , Immediately encountered a dilemma. At this time, the CCP thought of "self-cultivation of talents," but can mainland China really "self-cultivation" of high-end talents?
Until now, this goal has not been achieved. So, where is the problem?
Wang He believes that the CCP’s talent training mechanism has major problems, the most prominent of which is the quality problem. They use sports to run education. For example, it took 100 years for the United States to grant doctorate degrees to more than 10,000 people each year (1861-1961), and the CCP only took 17 years (1982-1999). In 2008, China surpassed the United States to become the world's largest doctoral degree granting country.
Doctors are already the highest degree. If these doctors are genuine, will China be short of talents? There are so many CCP officials who have obtained doctoral degrees, so that officials' doctoral dissertations have become a forbidden area and are not allowed to be published. You say it is ridiculous?
And what is the root cause of this evil result? Wang He said that it is the CCP itself. The CCP has always said that “the party manages talents” and “to do a good job of talents must adhere to the correct political direction”. Xi Jinping also mentioned this time that "the party's leadership over talent work has been comprehensively strengthened." In fact, it is a one-party dictatorship. The broad masses of people have no freedom of thought, academic freedom, independent personality, and free spirit. In this way, it cannot cultivate talents, but can only cultivate slaves.
The CCP has stolen the country for more than 70 years. It has caused so many talented people to feel resentment, so many talents to leave other countries, so many talents to humiliate and steal their lives, and so many talents to fall for themselves. In this way, how can China become a "powerful country with talents"? As long as the CCP is here, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can only be a dream.

Prices are soaring in the mainland, and the dark night is worse than North Korea?
In addition to the lack of first-class talents, China is now lacking more and more things.
Recently, the "electricity shortage" has caused a stir among the people. A netizen stood on the Yalu River Bridge in Dandong and shot a video at night. It showed that Dandong was in darkness, while North Korea on the opposite side of the river looked brightly lit.
Someone joked, "It is said that when looking at the earth at night, the land where the light is sparse is North Korea. It is estimated that the area of North Korea in recent days has expanded to the west. Some netizens have also asked, is even North Korea inferior now?" Others said, "Don't panic, the news network should be broadcast as usual."
Some netizens ridiculed the CCP’s usual rhetoric, “The standard answer is that there must be a touching story behind the power outage. The country is going to play a big game of chess.”
Affected by power cuts, electricity prices may also rise.
Sun Ning, a resident of Yichang, Hubei, said in an interview with Radio Free Asia, “There is now a widespread rumour that electricity bills will rise sharply.”
He questioned why the government had promised earlier that after the completion of the Three Gorges Reservoir, a dime per kilowatt-hour of electricity has not been fulfilled, but the price has increased. He said, "From a few cents to a kilowatt-hour of electricity at the earliest, it has now risen to one yuan per kilowatt-hour. Industrial electricity is even more expensive, and commercial electricity is also expensive. There is no price reduction, but an increase."
The shortage of power supply has also affected the food industry. In the evening of Monday (27 September), the well-known Chinese brand "Tao Li Bread" issued an announcement stating that its nine subsidiaries had received the local government's notice of power cuts, so they had to temporarily suspend production.
Before the power shortage problem is resolved, a new wave of inflation is about to start. In just a few days, the prices of raw materials and chemicals in the construction industry have continuously increased by leaps and bounds.
On the 24th, the "Notice on Product Price Adjustments" published by a chemical company in Hubei showed that the prices of raw materials such as soda ash and chromium ore continued to rise, leading to rising production costs. Within two days, the price of the factory's six chemical products, such as sodium dichromate, increased by 1,000 yuan per ton.
A cement company in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province also issued a "price increase" notice on 15, 20 and 24 September, and the price of each bag of cement rose from 30 Dollars a ton to 80 Dollars and then to 100 Dollars.
In addition to the lack of electricity, the price of natural gas from the Netherlands has also risen sharply this year, causing tight supply. In the case of the "double shortage" of coal and natural gas, the production of agricultural fertilizers has also been affected.
As a result, the output of agriculture and animal husbandry will not be guaranteed, grain stocks will continue to fall, and grain prices will inevitably be pushed up.
