ASEAN parliamentarians call for recognition of Myanmar's civilian government NUG


Members of ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) are urging the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and governments around the world to engage with Myanmar’s parallel National Unity Government (NUG) and impose sanctions on military regime officials and their economic interests.

APHR is made up of elected lawmakers from ASEAN countries. The pressure group is calling on ASEAN to use this week’s summit to take concrete action in an effort to resolve the crisis in Myanmar.

The ASEAN summit runs from 26 to 28 October and was convened without a representative from Myanmar, following the bloc’s decision to exclude coup leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, citing a lack of progress on ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus on Myanmar, agreed in late April.

“We urge governments around the world and ASEAN’s dialogue partners in particular to contribute sanctions against military officials and their economic interests. They include oil and gas, which is the junta’s main source of revenue. [And] to officially meet with the NUG to extend solidarity to the people of Myanmar who are supporting democracy since the coup,” said the APHR Chair Charles Santiago, who is a member of Malaysia’s Parliament.

He added that the Myanmar people “every day since February 1 have so bravely displayed to the world that they do not accept this murderous junta,” referring to the ongoing anti-regime movement, which ranges from armed resistance and advocacy to flash mob protests.

Despite welcoming ASEAN’s decision to exclude the junta from the summit, the APHR, NUG and civil society groups called for the bloc to do much more during a virtual panel organized on Wednesday.

The dialogue partners of the ASEAN summit have a key role in supporting and pushing ASEAN to act on behalf of the people of Myanmar and the ASEAN region, as the Myanmar crisis is creating regional problems, especially refugee issues, arms and drug trafficking and the spread of COVID-19, Charles Santiago told the panel.

“Before it turns into ASEAN’s nightmare, ASEAN governments really have to make an important decision in this meeting, acknowledging that the NUG exists and ensuring ASEAN starts the process of negotiating with the NUG,” said the Malaysian MP.

Members of the panel pointed out that ASEAN must decide to follow the right path. Some ASEAN countries – Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia – have shown their willingness to support the NUG.

ASEAN should deal with NUG to find solutions to Myanmar's crisis

U Bo Hla Tint, the NUG’s newly-appointed ambassador to ASEAN, reiterated that ASEAN should be dealing with the NUG to find solutions to Myanmar’s current political and humanitarian crisis, and to ensure stability and peace in the country as well as in the region.

The NUG and non-governmental organizations have urged ASEAN to consider whether they are going to work with the failed military regime, who lack the support of the Myanmar people, or work with the NUG, which is backed by the vast majority of people in Myanmar.

One point of ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus calls for dialogue between the junta and the representatives of the Myanmar people. That is also backed by the United States, United Nations (UN) and other key countries.

Myanmar Junta must release NLD leaders and other detainees for future dialogue

However, the Myanmar people do not see that as practical in the current circumstances.

“No dialogue can be genuine or achievable unless all sides have equal leverage. No democratic transition can be genuine and successful when it happens at the point of a gun,” said Khin Ohmar, chairperson of the Advisory Board of Progressive Voice, a Myanmar human rights group.

Citing Myanmar’s long history of civil wars and the unsuccessful talks in the past between previous military regimes and the opposition and international mediators, Khin Ohmar told The Irrawaddy that “the past nine months should be a wake-up call for all of us, that the junta is not interested in dialogue.”

She urged ASEAN, the UN and the rest of the world to demand that the military stops all its violence against the Myanmar people and releases State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and President U Win Myint and all other people detained since the coup.

“Only then, will the regime have met the first minimum benchmark for dialogue in the future,” she said.

Selected into the WHO Group Trial Program, Medigen: Start the third phase of the global clinical trial!
   

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on 26 October 2021 the launch of the "Solidarity Trial Vaccines" program. Taiwan’s domestic Medigen covi vaccine MVC-CoV1901 is listed as a candidate vaccine, causing heated discussion. Last night, Medigen released another important news at the stock market observation station, announcing that it will launch the third phase of the global clinical trial!

Medigen issued a statement at 10 pm on the 26th, announcing that due to the WHO's announcement of Medigen selected vaccine candidate for the group trial vaccine program, Medigen also hereby announced the launch of the third phase of the global clinical trial, which takes effect on 27 October 2021. Regarding the clinical implementation of the group trial vaccine program, details and progress are subject to the WHO announcement.

Spokesperson Li Sixian said, "According to the WHO announcement, the united vaccine clinical trials were conducted in more than 40 clinical trial centres in three countries, Colombia, Mali and the Philippines. According to the independent vaccine prioritization advisory group, two vaccines have been confirmed to be selected; the first two vaccines selected are subunit recombinant protein vaccines from Medigen and DNA vaccines from Inovio."

Li Sixian revealed, "In addition to the current Medigen vaccine MVC-CoV1901 and Inovio's DNA vaccine, two more candidate vaccines are expected to join this global solidarity trial after scientific review. Solidarity Trial Vaccines will accelerate the development of many of the world’s most potential covi vaccines to create a broader vaccine portfolio. The goal is to develop a second-generation vaccine with higher efficacy to provide better protection against virus mutations and longer duration of protection to protect people all over the world from COVID-19."

Medigen covi vaccine MVC-CoV1901 was selected as a solitary clinical trial vaccine sponsored by the WHO. Multi-country and multi-center clinical trials are conducted in three phases. Chen Shizhong said, "This is a very difficult task. In addition to being happy, I am also more optimistic about the development of domestic vaccines."

Chen Shizhong said at the command center press conference today that a WHO working group composed of experts from multiple countries reviewed about 20 candidate vaccines. Currently, Medigen vaccine MVC-CoV1901 and the US Inovio vaccine have been selected for inclusion in the WHO-sponsored unity clinical trial vaccines. The third phase of randomized controlled clinical trials was conducted in Colombia, Mali, and the Philippines.

Chen Shizhong said that it is not easy for high-end vaccines to stand out among the 20 vaccines. He also hopes that through this clinical trial, under the WHO certification, Medigen vaccines can be provided to other places in the world that lack covi vaccines more widely. "For solitary clinical test representatives, human beings are united in the fight against the epidemic, and Medigen vaccines are selected, and they are more optimistic about the development of domestic vaccines."

Chen Shizhong said that the selection of high-end vaccines has three levels of significance. The first level of significance is that experts from around the world select excellent vaccines with development potential. At present, when hundreds of vaccines are in development around the world, for Medigen, it is not easy to be selected; the second level means that the third phase clinical test is sponsored by the WHO, which means that the cost of the clinical trial will be paid by the WHO; the third level means that if the Medigen vaccine can pass the third phase clinical test, the chance of it a WHO-approved vaccine is great.

As for whether the EUA can be extended after the Medigen vaccine completes the Phase III clinical test, Chen Shizhong said that of course, after the clinical trial is completed, he can come to Taiwan to apply for the extension of the EUA or directly apply for the drug certificate according to the relevant data, "according to scientific data. "

Taiwan and Medigen have also entered into an open contract for the purchase of another 5 million vaccines. As the current supply of other brand vaccines is abundant, Chen Shizhong said that the current open contract with another 5 million doses of high-end vaccines is not needed.

As for Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe’s wife, Chen Peiqi, said that the government bought too many Medigen vaccines, which made it impossible to wait for Medigen vaccines. Chen Shizhong said bluntly, “The mayor’s wife has many opinions, but they all respect them.”

WTO deliberates on China’s policies Expert: CCP increasingly challenges rules

The World Trade Organization (WTO) conducted the eighth review of China’s trade policy on 20 and 22 October. The United States and the United Kingdom Members of many countries including Japan, Australia and India all condemned the CCP for not fulfilling its WTO commitments. Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce of the Communist Party of China, denied it entirely.

Three economic experts told The Epoch Times that the CCP’s challenge to international rules has become more serious.

Botswana’s ambassador to the WTO, Athaliah Lesiba Molokome, who chaired the review meeting, stated that most of the issues raised by members are related to notification and transparency, the role of state-owned enterprises in the Chinese economy, incentives and Issues related to subsidies, government procurement competition policies, and intellectual property rights.

A company competes with a country

On the eve of President Trump’s first visit to China in 2017, the American Chamber of Commerce in China publicly stated that American companies in China are in a situation where “one company competes with one country”.

Members of the American and European Union Chambers of Commerce in China continue to complain that they receive unequal treatment with local companies; when confronted with the Bo court, the Chinese Communist Party also showed partiality to local companies.

In an interview with Epoch Times, Professor of Economics and China Analyst Antonio Graceffo said that the CCP is now challenging international trade rules with state capitalism.

He said that China's economy is not a complete market economy. The government has a lot of control over the economy and enterprises, and state-owned enterprises alone account for 40% of the total economic value. Some private companies are also held by the government (or government entities).

"State-owned, state-controlled or state-favored enterprises obtain (state-owned) capital, including raw materials obtained from the 'Belt and Road' initiative, government protection, bank loans, soft loans, subsidies... This is something the United States cannot do because it is fascism." Graceford said.

Graceford emphasized that the Chinese economy is very much in line with the definition of fascism, that is, state capitalism.

"Although the largest companies are privately owned and the owners are free to earn billions of dollars, these companies are like pawns on a chessboard, and Xi Jinping can move them as needed." He said, "If the company complies with (party requirements) , They can continue to make money. If they forget to serve the party-state, they will be punished like Jack Ma or other entrepreneurs who are sent to prison or executed."

The West has long condoned the CCP's double standards

Chinese companies can invest almost unlimitedly in the U.S. economy, but the CCP government does not allow U.S. companies to invest in China with a long negative list. Even in areas where U.S. companies are allowed to invest, a joint venture structure with a foreign share ratio of 51% is set up; U.S. companies must also agree to transfer technology to Chinese companies. This is a prerequisite for the CCP to agree to U.S. companies' business operations.

According to the National Security Law passed by the CCP, it can require any company (including American companies) to provide all data in order to obtain technology.

Chinese companies listed on US exchanges can enjoy special treatment and refuse to provide audit documents to US officials on the grounds that the Chinese Communist Party law does not allow them.

"If an American company makes such a shameless request in China, they will be shut down immediately, and in principle may be sentenced to jail." Graceford said, "Why (the Chinese Communist Party) is allowed to do this? Most Western countries have two sets. The rules are one set for foreign companies and one set for China (the Chinese Communist Party). In the end, let Chinese companies do whatever they want."

Graceford believes that the connivance policies of Western countries have acquiesced to the CCP's double standards for a long time, and they dare not mention the principle of symmetry.

Graceford believes that in the closing speech of the WTO Review Conference, it is true that "China has benefited a lot from the multilateral trading system". To say that this is a "Made in China" miracle, it is better to say that this is the result of American politicians helping China to trade with the world.

The Clinton administration's recognition of granting China MFN status cleared the biggest obstacle before the CCP joined the WTO in 2001.

The CCP has always violated the trade spirit of the WTO

Clyde Prestowitz, a former senior U.S. trade negotiator and fourth-term presidential adviser, Chairman of the Institute of Economic Strategy, told The Epoch Times that the CCP is now using trade to pressure foreign policy. For example, Australia wants to investigate the CCP virus (Wuhan Virus, covi). The CCP threatened to stop importing Australian wine, iron ore and coal. This practice goes against the spirit of the World Trade Organization.

Milton Ezrati, a special editor of The National Interest magazine and chief economist of "Vested", a New York communications company, told The Epoch Times that China (the CCP) may have entered the WTO, It intends not to follow WTO rules and international rules; and uses membership to adopt trade practices that run counter to the rules to gain economic and diplomatic advantages.

Ezrati reminded that because Washington is unable to obtain legal recourse, the United States has no other choice but to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese exports; if the goals of the first phase of the US-China trade agreement cannot be achieved, it will relax tariffs on China. The second phase agreement will be even more hopeless.

"Although Biden portrays himself as anti-Trump (Trump), they are the same in terms of punitive tariffs," Ezrati said.

Graceford also believes that for the sake of fairness, the United States and China should enter the second phase of trade negotiations, requiring China to fundamentally change the way it does business and how the economy operates.

"China (the CCP) will never do this willingly," he said. "We are facing fundamental and systemic problems in China's economic and political system. China (the CCP) believes that any attempt to change these policies It is an infringement of its sovereignty."

He proposed that governments should encourage the transfer of supply chains out of China and provide encouragement, subsidies and incentives for companies that want to leave China.

"We can work with our allies India, Vietnam, Taiwan, and other Southeast Asian countries to give them the opportunity to take over all manufacturing that has left China. This will lead to economic prosperity in these countries and also move these countries out of China’s sphere of influence. ."

Chen Zongyan, deputy commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, asked the media "Which country is the mainland?" at a press conference a few days ago, which was praised by Taiwanese netizens, but Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, today criticized "back to the ancestors." Betrayal" is a farce. Chen Shizhong, the command center commander, was asked to respond in a timely manner, "It is up to the individual to answer questions that have a long history." Chen Zongyan pointed out in a Facebook post earlier, "The blood on my body comes from my parents."

In response to Ma Xiaoguang’s response to Chen Zongyan’s statement, who on earth is he? What are his ancestors? Where does his family come from? Whose blood is he flowing? For this kind of person who betrayed his ancestors, it is really not worthy of comment, "This is nothing more than a farce he performed to beg for a part-of-office position."

Chen Shizhong said, "It is up to the individual to answer questions that have a long history."

Chen Zongyan also posted on Facebook earlier, "The blood on my body comes from my parents. Thank you my parents for letting me have the genes to love democracy, freedom and human rights. As a citizen of a maritime country, I have come from (from) the world. People from all countries are here to work hard. There are elements in our chromosomes that tolerate differences, respect differences, love the disadvantaged, and work together to help each other. My family and I are both Taiwanese, and I am proud of being Taiwanese."

In addition, he also emphasized that "the blood and youth of many ancestors who flowed in this land. Their unyielding and courage for freedom, democracy, fairness and justice are the mark of Taiwan. In the face of coercion and oppression, submission and cowardice are those who forget their ancestors, but I am willing to work hard and work hard for her, not because of blood, but because of identification."
