Myanmar hit out Monday at a genocide case brought against it by Gambia for alleged persecution of Rohingya Muslims, urging the UN’s highest court to drop the claim on legal grounds.
Gambia dragged Myanmar before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2019, accusing the predominantly Buddhist country of genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority after a bloody 2017 military crackdown.
When the case opened in December 2019, Myanmar’s State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi personally represented the country at the Hague-based ICJ, but she was ousted as the Asian country’s civilian leader in a military coup last year.
The Nobel peace laureate, who faced criticism from rights groups for her involvement in the case, is now under house arrest and on trial by the same generals she defended in The Hague.
“Myanmar is… not seeking to impede the judicial process of the court,” its agent Ko Ko Hlaing told the judges in the imposing courtroom at the Peace Palace in The Hague.
“On the contrary it is seeking to answer the proper administration of justice,” Myanmar’s international cooperation minister said.
EU sanctions
Both Ko Ko Hlaing, who was in court, and Myanmar’s attorney general Thida Oo, who was attending virtually, have already been hit with US sanctions over the coup.
And on Monday the European Union added 22 officials from the junta, taking the total to 65, and four companies tied to the regime, making 10 overall, to the bloc’s sanctions list.
Among those targeted were the ministers for investment, industry and information, officials at the election commission and senior members of the military.
“The European Union is deeply concerned by the continuing escalation of violence in Myanmar and the evolution towards a protracted conflict with regional implications,” the bloc said in a statement.
“Since the military coup, the situation has continuously and gravely deteriorated.”
‘Proxy applicant’
Christopher Staker, another lawyer for Myanmar, said the ICJ did not have jurisdiction because it was not a case brought by two states, as required by the ICJ’s statutes.
“The application is inadmissible because the real applicant in these proceedings is the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,” Staker said.
He accused Gambia of “not acting in it own rights… but stepping in on behalf… of the OIC,” referring to the 57-member body set up in 1969 to represent global Muslim interests.
It was only after the OIC proposed that the case should be brought against Myanmar at the ICJ that Gambia agreed to step forward, not the other way around, Staker argued.
Set up after World War II, the ICJ rules in disputes between states, and bases its findings mainly on international treaties and conventions.
“The OIC is an international organization, not a state,” Staker noted.
“It cannot be possible for an international organization to bring a case before the court by using a state as a proxy applicant,” he said, adding, “The Gambia has never objected to this.”
The ICJ made a provisional order in January 2020 that Myanmar must take “all measures” to prevent the alleged genocide of the Rohingya while the years-long proceedings are under way.
While its rulings are binding, the court has no real means to enforce them.
Bloody crackdown
Gambia will make its counter-arguments on Wednesday.
Around 850,000 Rohingya from Myanmar are languishing in camps in neighboring Bangladesh while another 600,000 Rohingya remain in Myanmar’s southwestern Rakhine State.
The Rohingya case at the ICJ has been complicated by the coup that ousted Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her civilian government and triggered mass protests and a bloody military crackdown. More than 1,500 civilians have been killed, according to a local monitoring group.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi now faces trial herself in Myanmar on a raft of charges that could see her jailed for more than 150 years.
Ahead of the hearing, the shadow National Unity Government (NUG) dominated by lawmakers from Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s ousted National League for Democracy said that the NUG, not the junta, “is the proper representative of Myanmar at the ICJ in the case”.
It also rejects Myanmar’s preliminary objections, saying the hearings for these should be canceled and the court should quickly get down to the hearing of the substantive case.
The NUG holds no territory and has not been recognized by any foreign government, and has been declared a “terrorist” organization by the junta.
Gambia accuses Myanmar of breaching the 1948 UN genocide convention.
It says its case is backed by the 57-nation OIC, Canada and the Netherlands.

While the Myanmar quagmire will continue to dominate ASEAN’s agenda under Cambodia and future chairs, one must not forget that the current chair must also deal with a myriad of challenges across all sectors of the grouping’s ongoing cooperation. The much-awaited foreign ministerial retreat last Thursday has once again shown that ASEAN remains a closely knit, pragmatic family.
This sentiment emerged after the chair’s press statement was released. Even though the chair has the prerogative on the final wording, Cambodia invited all members to provide their input, which resulted in an ASEAN-centered statement for all to see. The tone is leaning toward “engagement” rather than “disengagement” with Myanmar. For the first time in nearly a decade, the statement’s section on Myanmar took up more space than the South China Sea dispute.
All the hullabaloo in the first six weeks regarding the chair’s behavior was settled once the ministers met last week. At the retreat, all members expressed support for the current chair’s efforts including the headline-making visit by Prime Minister Hun Sen to Myanmar early last month. ASEAN remains united in implementing the Five-Point Consensus.
Last week, in public remarks, Hun Sen appeared pessimistic on his chances of persuading the junta to implement ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus on resolving the crisis in Myanmar, and seemed to have given up—less than two months into his chairmanship—on making any progress.
RFA quoted him as saying that there are “only 10 more months and 14 days left and my duty [as ASEAN chair] will be finished,” and suggesting, “the next chair of ASEAN take care of the issue.”
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn, in his capacity as ASEAN special envoy, will visit Myanmar in the second week of March. The outcome of his visit will be a key factor in determining the future status of the military junta in Naypyitaw, officially known as the State Administration Council, both regionally and internationally.
At the retreat, the ASEAN members had to wrestle with Myanmar’s credentials as the quagmire entered its second year.
Speaking to reporters last week, Singapore Foreign Minister Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan aptly put it that in the coming days there would be so-called “administrative wrinkles” that the ASEAN members will have to smooth out.
There will be some documents that all ASEAN members have to sign. The question most often asked is, who will sign on behalf of Myanmar?
The first document in question is the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC). In order for six more countries — namely Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, Oman, Qatar and United Arab Emirates — to be formally recognized as observers, all 10 foreign ministers would have to sign the Instruments of Accessions to complete the process.
ASEAN did not invite the regime representatives in previous meetings but invited only non-political representatives. Myanmar has so far refused to send non-political officials.
Some ASEAN members have come up with the idea of allowing Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin to sign on behalf of Myanmar, which would be followed by a joint statement by the rest of the group which explicitly says the minister’s signature does not confer legitimacy on the SAC and its actions. These are some of the delicate issues with which ASEAN will have to come to grips.
In the next few weeks, the SAC has to show that it has made concrete and sufficient progress in implementing the 5PC to deserve further support, otherwise there could be some dramatic changes of heart among “old” ASEAN members and key dialogue partners. Washington, in particular, is closely watching the manner in which ASEAN is engaging the military junta. That could be one reason why the US keeps changing the date of the proposed special ASEAN-US summit in Washington. While the White House has confirmed that it will now be held in March, the exact dates have yet to be announced.
Indeed, this summit would allow the rest of the world to gauge the future of SAC and its nemesis, the National Unity Government. The US Congress is pressing Washington to recognize the NUG. Just as Myanmar is the only ASEAN member not to be invited to the Ministerial Forum for Indo-Pacific in Paris this week, Myanmar also looks set to be the only ASEAN state not to be invited to the summit in DC.
If there is significant progress during Prak Sokhonn’s planned visit, especially pertaining to the end of violence, access to all stakeholders and sites for humanitarian assistance as well as a timeline for political dialogue, Myanmar’s status within ASEAN could change in the next few months. In addition, this time ASEAN foreign ministers encouraged the special envoy to coordinate closely with Noeleen Heyzer, the special envoy of the UN Secretary General on Myanmar.
As the Myanmar stalemate continues, ASEAN will only face more dilemmas.

Refugees running out of rice in Lower Myanmar
Extract from The Irrawaddy
Refugees burned out of their houses in Kayah State by junta forces are facing food shortages as little humanitarian aid is reaching them.
170,000 people have been displaced by fighting in Kayah in southeast Myanmar, with clashes taking place almost daily in and around the town of Moebye and in Pekon Township, according to the Karenni Human Rights Group, which is helping the refugees.
Banya, the Director of the Karenni Human Rights Group, told The Irrawaddy that even the camps that have received rice from the Save the Children organization will soon run out. Other refugee camps are already facing food shortages. There are now around 100 camps for the internally displaced in Kayah.
Save the Children halted their humanitarian operation in Kayah State after two members of the organization were killed by the Myanmar military in Hpruso Township on 24 December 2021. Their bodies were subsequently burned.
“I am very worried about this situation. If the United Nations continues to ignore us, many people will be starving and facing malnutrition within three months,” said Banya, who asked to be identified by only one of his names.
He added that the refugees also face difficulties in finding shelter, water, medicine and fuel for electricity generators.

Myanmar the second worst jailer of journalists after CCP China
Since the coup on 1 February 2021, Myanmar has earned the dubious distinction of being the world’s second worst jailer of journalists after China.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) stated in a December report that at least 26 journalists had been imprisoned in Myanmar for their reporting since the takeover, compared with none behind bars in 2020, adding that “the actual number of jailed journalists in Myanmar may be much higher than CPJ’s tally.
Many news organizations are reluctant to identify their detained freelancers, stringers, and other non-staff reporters they rely on for news, photographs, and video, due to concerns they could face harsher penalties if they are found to be associated with their news outlets.”

According to a report issued in February this year by Reporters Without Borders, as many as 60 media workers are currently held in Myanmar. Many have been tortured in custody and at least three have been murdered by junta soldiers.

Myanmar Junta turn to CCP for censorship and surveillance assistance
When those brutal measures did not halt the flow of information to people in and outside the country, the junta turned to a logical and experienced partner for censorship and surveillance assistance: China. At the end of last year, security officials in the region found out that Chinese internet technicians were helping their Myanmar counterparts develop blocking and monitoring capabilities. The aim, they say, is to establish firm and effective control over what can and cannot be accessed online in Myanmar, similar to the infamous “Great Firewall of China”, which China’s security officials have used for years to police online activities of known dissidents and even identify anonymous users.
News (21)
Sites blocked in China cannot be viewed in Myanmar
In essence, it means that the authorities would be able to block access to selected foreign websites and to slow down internet traffic in and out of the country. Among foreign internet tools that have been blocked in China are Google Search, Facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia; that has been done by using hardware from Huawei and Semptian, two major Chinese service providers.
News (22)
Possible for CCP's security services to hack Junta's computers
It is unclear whether the same hardware is being used in Myanmar, but, if that is the case, it would make it possible for CCP's security services to tap into the Myanmar military’s computers and collect sensitive and classified information that would have been hard to come by with only human intelligence.
News (23)
CCP does not trust the "unpredictable generals" of Myanmar
CCP has every reason to watch not only Myanmar’s dissidents but also the often unpredictable generals, whom they do not fully trust, and that is actually not new. Technicians working for companies close to the Ministry of State Security (MSS), CCP China’s main intelligence agency, are known to have been hacking into the computers and databases of the state-owned Myanmar Post and Telecommunications, a major internet service provider and operator of mobile phones also used by the military, and that has been going on for years.
News (24)
MSS and Chinese hackers work together to hack Western countries' and Myanmar's computer systems
The close relationship between Chinese hackers and the MSS was revealed when two US-based hackers, Li Xiaoyu and Dong Jiazhi, were indicted in Spokane, Washington on July 7, 2020. According to court documents, they had on behalf of the Chinese government “gained unauthorized access to computers around the world and stole terabytes of data.”
Apart from collecting information from a host of Western countries, among them the US, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain and Britain, the indictment states that they “provided the MSS with email accounts and passwords belonging to a Hong Kong community organizer, the pastor of a Chinese church in Xi’an, and a dissident and former Tiananmen Square protestor…and the office of the Dalai Lama.”
Curiously, the MSS, the court document says, provided Li with malware to help him compromise “the mail server of a Burmese [Myanmar] human rights group.” The identity of that human rights group was not revealed during the hearings in Spokane but it shows to what length MSS and its hackers are going to monitor a wide variety of governmental as well as civilian actors in countries of interest.
The Myanmar junta may be playing with fire when it comes to using imported technologies such as the Chinese firewall. As we have seen, China’s security agencies will be spying on them too.

Junta operatives trained to obtain information on political dissidents and protesters
For the Myanmar public, the most alarming aspect of these developments is that Chinese technicians have been training junta operatives to obtain information on political dissidents and protesters, including how to bypass Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, and monitor SMS traffic on mobile phones.

After social media ban, increased taxation for Internet usage in Myanmar
As The Irrawaddy reported on 24 January, the junta banned social media after last year’s coup, including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, but people continued to access those sites using VPNs. Then the junta presented the draft for a new cybersecurity law that would give it the right to imprison anyone who accesses banned sites with the help of VPNs. According to a February 11 Al Jazeera report, the junta has increased taxation of the telecom sector leading to prices being doubled in the past two months—and thus making it expensive and more difficult for ordinary people to use the internet altogether.
The draft law, The Irrawaddy reported, “would grant the junta unlimited power to access user data, ban content it dislikes, restrict internet providers and intercept data, and imprison those criticizing the regime online and employees of non-compliant companies.”
News (27)
Random arrests of VPN users in Myanmar
Recent reports of random arrests in Yangon and Mandalay of people who have used VPNs also show that the Chinese-installed firewall is working. While it is difficult to see exactly what a VPN user has accessed, the firewall will reveal who is using it and if that is against the law, the user could be arrested.
In 2017, the CCP government declared all unauthorized VPN services to be illegal and there, as in Myanmar, people have been arrested for using them.
News (28)
Users have managed to bypass the repressive rules
If the CCP experience is anything to go by, there are ways around all those repressive measures, there are ways users have managed to bypass the rules.
However, as writer Daniel Anderson pointed out in technology publication ACM Queue as early as 2012, the basic censorship circumvention strategy is to use proxy nodes and encrypt the data.
Bypassing the firewall in China is known as fanqiang, or “climb over the wall”. Freegate, Ultrasurf, Psiphon and Lantern are free software that can be used to bypass Internet censorship firewalls using an HTTP proxy server combined with encryption protocols. Some people are using SIM cards from foreign countries to access VPNs and there are also certain VPNs which still work in China.
Exactly how Myanmar’s military authorities are going to use its firewall and enforce those new laws remains to be seen but given the number of VPN users in Myanmar who would have to be identified and monitored, and the limited knowhow of the junta’s own internet technicians, it is hard to imagine that tech-savvy young people will not find their own ways of “climbing over the wall”.
Recent arrests may just be attempts at intimidating the public by picking up a few unlucky users. Once a country has opened its doors to the outside world via cyberspace, it cannot close them again.

CCP exported Internet surveillance technology to Cuba, Myanmar, Vietnam, Zimbabwe and Belarus
According to Reporters Without Borders, CCP may have exported Internet surveillance technology not only to Myanmar but also Cuba, Iran, Vietnam, Zimbabwe and Belarus. Roskomnadzor Agency, the Russian state’s agency for monitoring, controlling and censoring mass media, is also known to have at least in the past collaborated with Chinese firewall officials but in none of those countries has the firewall been 100 percent effective, which goes to show that the technology is not perfect or without loopholes.

Beijing uses sea cucumber farming to increase influence in Sri Lanka
Reporter : Chen Ting / Editor : Ye Ziwei / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/22/2/23/n13598400.htm
Sri Lanka, an island country with a population of 22 million, is a close neighbour to the south of India and has important geopolitical strategic significance. Foreign media pointed out that the CCP recently intends to invest in the sea cucumber breeding industry on the northern coast of the country, increasing its influence on the island country.
Sri Lanka is adjacent to the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, separated by the palk strait at its narrowest point of only about 40 miles.
According to London's Financial Times (link), sea cucumber farming on the country's northern coast is growing rapidly with the help of Chinese companies.
The report pointed out that local fishermen can obtain sea cucumber seedlings from Chinese-run hatcheries, cultivate them in their own aquaculture farms, and export them to China. In Chinese seafood markets, sea cucumbers can fetch hundreds of dollars per kilo.
Local fishermen believe that the depletion of offshore fishery resources is due to improper fishing practices by Indian boats. Dozens more Indian fishermen have been arrested in Sri Lanka in recent months, and two Sri Lankans are said to have been killed in clashes at sea.
This dissatisfaction makes CCP China's "helping hand" even more attractive.
"There are fewer and fewer fish in the sea because of trawling in India," Kalamohan, a 48-year-old fisherman, told the Financial Times.
"I want to start my own business, it's a very profitable business," he said.
Under the guidance of the Chinese side, sea cucumber farms have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Jaffna is the capital of Sri Lanka's Northern Province. The number of sea cucumber farms has risen to 250 from about 40 last year, said M Thivagaran, president of the local sea cucumber breeders association.
The CCP has always regarded Sri Lanka as a key country in the Belt and Road Initiative. Recently, the CCP has gone a step further in trying to increase its influence on the northern coast.
According to the Indian media "India Express" (link), from 15 to 16 December 2021, the Chinese ambassador to Sri Lanka, Qi Zhenhong, visited the northern province of Sri Lanka.
At that time, Qi Zhenhong not only went to the Kondaswamy Temple, the largest Hindu temple on the island of Sri Lanka, carrying fruits and offerings, but also donated fishing nets and food worth 100,000 US Dollars to the local area.
He also held discussions with local officials to help increase employment opportunities in the northern province, and visited Chinese businesses, including sea cucumber hatcheries.
Such actions have caused tensions in the international community, especially the Indian government. For a long time, the northern part of Sri Lanka has been closely related to India both culturally and geographically. The main ethnic group in the area is the Tamil people, which are distributed on both sides of the Pak Strait.
However, some locals believe that Chinese help is profitable. At least 400 more fishermen have applied for licenses to set up sea cucumber farms, according to the Financial Times, making business in China's sea cucumber hatcheries booming.
"We welcome anyone who is interested in investing, creating jobs and getting a return," said MP Angajan Ramanathan.
"Jaffna has attracted a lot of attention...the expertise and technology we need," he said. "Our people are hungry and we don't mind who helps us, whether it's India or China."
Annalingam Annarasa, Chairman of the Jaffna Fisheries Federation, said: "China is aware of our difficulties and has helped."
The fishermen have yet to make a profit and spend months at a time in rudimentary seaside huts, within which the sea cucumber seedlings can fully mature before being shipped to Hong Kong or Singapore for resale to China, the report said.
With the rapid growth of the customer base and strong demand in China, more and more fishermen believe that the industry has developed prospects.
However, there may be hidden concerns about deepening dependence on China.
Currently, CCP China has become one of Sri Lanka's largest creditors through the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, with at least $3.5 billion in outstanding loans and control of the port of Hambantota on Sri Lanka's southern coast. The port is strategically located near some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. (understand more)
Last month, Sri Lanka asked CCP China to restructure its debt. India took the opportunity to strike back diplomatically, offering some $1 billion in aid and hosting Sri Lanka's foreign minister this month.
A diplomat told the Financial Times that the competition between China and India in Sri Lanka has heated up sharply in the past year. The two sides fiercely compete for influence over the country through lobbying, loans and arms sales.

The emergence and disappearance of the "Chain Woman"
Report by : Yan Dan / Editor : Pu Shan / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/22/2/23/n13598565.htm

The sudden disappearance of the "Chain Woman" makes people terrified, heartbroken and sad, but it does not seem to be as shocking, unexpected and unimaginable as when she appeared. While people were surprised and angry, perhaps they did not notice that her sudden exposure was full of drama and serendipity.
According to the article "What Happened in Fengxian County: The Most Detailed Arrangement of the Iron Chain Woman Incident on the Internet", in December 2021, a cadre in a town in Huankou Town, Fengxian County slapped his head and remembered that he would like to "show love to the low-income households once." ”I patted my head again, and remembered Dong Zhimin, a low-income household in the town", “working hard” and “having more births and more children”, which can be used to promote his political achievements. Thinking of this, the town cadres were already overwhelmed. How could they remember that there were two other dark rooms in the Dong family, and the "eight-child mother" who was kidnapped was locked in one of them?
The local official media also reported on the situation of Dong Zhimin's family, saying that "although leaders at all levels have tried their best to help, (his family) is still living in poverty", and also commended dozens of caring people "for this. Low-income families donated more than 4,000 yuan in condolences." This flickering, a large number of short video enthusiasts came one after another, all focusing on the poor household who needed "love". In this way, the small black house where the "Chain Girl" was imprisoned was finally discovered by a video photographer. Many people have seen her standing sluggishly in front of the camera, "in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, wearing a single shirt, a thin quilt on the bed, and a bowl of frozen white porridge on the table", "there is actually a chain around the neck".
The reality is tragically presented in front of everyone, but everyone cannot believe their eyes: in such a "prosperous world", there are still such "ants" that are enough to challenge the cognition of normal people and sting the sight of civilized people? Until the recent disappearance of the "Chain Woman", Ye Jingzi, the granddaughter of the CCP Marshal Ye Jianying, still said in shock, "There are still such primitive behaviour in the 21st century. Where has human nature gone?"
It can be said that the unexpected appearance of the "Chain Woman" and her dehumanized and inhumane treatment are the most important reasons for the shock of the audience and the boiling of public opinion. Especially when the outside world learned that she was beaten, had her teeth pulled, her tongue was cut, and was gang-raped by multiple people and other inhumane abuses and bullying, the shock, anger, and disbelief in everyone's hearts were even more difficult to heal.
Nowadays, the "chain woman" has suddenly disappeared. After the CCP officials in Xuzhou, Jiangsu and other places have engaged in a series of salacious operations, many people's emotions have reversed, and their inner monologue has also changed from the original "how can this be" to "the original" in this way". This is enough to show that the CCP's evil tactics of changing the soup and not changing the medicine are more expected than the unexpected at the time of the incident.
Once this scandal in Fengxian was exposed, the first reaction of the CCP from top to bottom was to pretend to be deaf and dumb. The party media and official media collectively lost their voices, the local government did not respond, the Women's Federation, Disabled Persons' Federation, and Literary and Art Circles all covered their mouths tightly. There is no "highest order". How can a local bureaucrat who only thinks about how to flatter his superiors, get promoted and make a fortune, and never care about the suffering of the people, care about a village woman? What's more, the "Iron Chain Woman" incident involves the protection of officials and even complicity in almost all bureaucracies such as administration, public affairs, procuratorate and law. Therefore, it is even more impossible for the CCP to allow anyone to expose and dig deep.
In order to suppress the scandalous deeds committed by the "dog officials" of the CCP, it is inevitable that the local official bulletin will be full of indiscretion and false preambles. Seeing that the public opinion is unrelenting, a high-level investigation team is assembled. As a result, Fengxian County became a "closed county" overnight, and the rigorous investigation did not seem to be for the problem but went straight to the person who discovered the problem. It seems that to this investigation team, it does not matter whether the "Chain Woman" is Li Ying, who was abducted and trafficked. It can obviously prove that the "Chain Woman" is not Yang Mouxia's wedding photo of Dong Yang who distributed it. Going out is a major event related to the survival of "our party".
Blocking news and covering up the truth is what the CCP does. The more occurrence of this evil and ugly trick, the more people will realize that believing in the CCP's investigation is tantamount to believing that "a sow can reach a tree".
The CCP's "anti-corruption" campaign for many years has been unable to prevent poverty alleviation, medical care, elderly care and other areas of people's livelihood from rapidly becoming "corruption-hit areas". What is even more deplorable is that since Zhu Mingguo, the former secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Guangdong Province, was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence for involving more than 230 million RMB in corruption, and Wei Jian, the former director of the Fourth Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Office of the Central Disciplinary Committee, was sentenced to 15 years for accepting bribes, the central inspection team Former deputy team leader Dong Hong was also charged with taking more than 460 million RMB in bribes last year. In this regard, mainland netizens have pointedly pointed out that "the people who investigate corruption have committed corruption themselves"; "the identity and the amount of money are very surprising."
Returning to Jiangsu, we can also see from official reports, “In 1989, Xuzhou launched a special operation to rescue more than 800 abducted women”; “In 1992, more than 1,200 abducted women and children were rescued”; “In 2000, rescued more than 12,000 women and 5,400 abducted children." Going forward, "in the three years from 1986 to 1989, 48,100 people were trafficked in six counties in Xuzhou, with an average of 43.8 people per day", which seems even more shocking. People are always puzzled. What is the reason behind the abduction and trafficking of more than 40,000 people, but only a few hundred or thousands of people can be rescued? Dozens of people are abducted every day, but in the past ten years, Xuzhou has only carried out three "anti-abduction" operations. .
If the judiciary and public security under the CCP are not blind, they are deliberately covering up. Trafficking can have such a huge market in Xuzhou. How can there be no power behind this chain involving huge interests to clear the way and escort it? You must know that the corruption of the CCP from top to bottom has already penetrated into various fields and perpetuated various evils.
Since it is impossible for the truth to come out of the mouth of the CCP, the living people who exist in the truth are very likely to disappear one by one. Especially the "Chain Woman" who directly revealed the CCP's "prosperous age" painting, her mental illness and disappearance will inevitably appear unfortunately in the expectations of many followers. People are even less and less surprised, because they believe that the most evil CCP will definitely be able to do such dehumanizing and unconscionable deeds.
Looking back at the history of the CCP, the CCP, which has "regime out of the barrel of a gun", has never stopped poisoning even innocent and kind people in the past few decades, let alone using them as tools for lust, profit and sex slaves. The diabolical "party spirit" of the CCP has devoured the humanity of its members. Party officials are generally accustomed to not treating people as human beings, so indiscriminately killing innocent people and ignoring people's lives has become their daily routine. There is no bottom line for the CCP’s evil deeds. Only by recognizing how evil it really is can we avoid being ravaged, enslaved and persecuted by it. As a Chinese, we should also deeply realize that only by living in a country without "chain women" can we have real peace and happiness; only when the CCP disintegrates, the tragedy of "chain women" will stop.
