The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, McCarthy, delivered a speech in the Israeli Knesset on 1 May 2023. He called on Israel to review foreign investment to prevent other countries, particularly the CCP, from stealing technology.
McCarthy, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, delivered a speech in Israel a few days ago, calling on Israel to strengthen its supervision of foreign investment to prevent them from technology theft by the CCP.
The Epoch Times columnist Wang He said on Wednesday that the CCP has been stealing cutting-edge technology from the United States and Israel for a long time through infiltration.
Epoch Times columnist Wang He: "The CCP has infiltrated Israel for a long time, and the relationship between the CCP and Israel is quite close. Through Israel, (the CCP) can not only master Israel's own technology, but also a lot of American technology. Although the United States warned Israel and emphasized itvery early, that many military technologies could not be transferred to China, but in fact Israel did this secretly.”
Wang He analyzed that as the confrontation between the United States and China intensifies, McCarthy is beating Israel and urging it to stay away from the CCP.
Wang He: "McCarthy's first visit to Israel this time is due to the special relationship between the United States and Israel on the one hand, and on the other hand because of the current global confrontation between the United States and China. If there is a bipolar confrontation, it will cut off the CCP's overseas sources of high technology. , is to decouple from the CCP in terms of high technology. In this regard, Israel is a key point, so we must focus on it.”
Dr. Qin Jin, chairman of the Democratic China Front, believes that the friendly exchanges between the Jewish nation and the Chinese nation can be traced back to World War II, but Israel mistook the CCP for China.
Qin Jin, chairman of the Democratic China Front: "(During World War II), the ambassadors of the Republic of China issued a large number of visas, allowing Jews to flee to China. They did not appreciate the government of the Republic of China at that time, but supported the new regime established on mainland China, the People’s Republic of China (the Communist Party). This is a huge mistake in Israel’s cognition.”
Dr. Qin Jin said that McCarthy issued a warning against Israel's hidden dangers in technology regulation.
Qin Jin: "As long as there is any cutting-edge technology, Israel will quietly give it to the CCP. So on this point, Israel has no political checks at all. The United States would beat Israel before. So this time it is Speaker McCarthy (Personally) go knocking."

How can I get back my money if I eat all I can? Experts reveal "two kinds of food" that both insiders and employees don't touch

All-you-can-eat restaurants are very popular in the Republic of China. The diverse dishes and unlimited portions make many people think that they have a high CP value. However, gourmet experts shared that when enjoying an all-you-can-eat Parkway, there are two types of food that no insider will touch at all, even the employees in the restaurant will not eat, that is "frozen meat" and "noodles".
"Food Eaters", who is famous for writing restaurant food and information, shared that there are actually skills in eating buffets. It doesn't depend on whether there are too many things to eat, but the focus is on whether the food you pick is worthwhile. However, there are 2 kinds of food that not only occupy the stomach, but may also be bad for the body.
Diners pointed out that the first type of food is frozen meat, because these things are generally stored for a long time, and some buffet operators will buy some cheap meat that is about to expire and put it in the warehouse in order to save costs. Therefore, when people eat frozen meat, there may be a risk that it has expired. It is exaggerated that some have even expired, but ordinary consumers do not know it.
Diner Laotao mentioned that the second type of food is actually pasta. Many people like to eat pasta, but they cannot eat much of this kind of food, and the stomach will be full soon, making it impossible to eat other things. Some stores also use poor quality flour to save costs. The above two foods are things that even experts will not touch when they choose to eat all they can eat.

China is blocked by the United States as an enemy with all its strength. Ko Wen-je: Xi Jinping is too "arrogant"
Image : Ko Wen-je gave a special speech at the National Jinan International University and pointed out why Xi Jinping was so "extravagant" (meaning arrogant in Taiwanese) and always emphasized "China's great line", only to be blocked by the United States as the main enemy. (Photo by reporter Tong Zhenguo)
Chairman of the People’s Party and former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je gave a special speech at the National Jinan International University on 3 May 2023. He believes that the United States is to encircle and eliminate China, but can it try to make China a more civilized society? Changing China will always be a threat to the world, and both sides must be persuaded to change their mentality. Ko Wen-je also believes that Xi Jinping made a national strategic mistake, that is, he was too "arrogant", so he was regarded as the main enemy by the United States and the U.S. tried their best to block him.
Ko Wen-je was invited by the University Student Council and General Education Center at 2 p.m. today to give a speech on "Realizing Urban Governance from the Value of Life". As the opposition, since Taiwan is sandwiched between two great powers, if Ko Wen-je were the president of Taiwan, what should he do?
Ko Wen-je replied that when he visited the United States a few days ago, he found that the United States hates China very much. He thinks that China’s competition is too great, and he wants to find ways to contain and eliminate it but the difference between him and the United States is whether he can try to make China a more civilized society. China cannot be changed, it will always become a threat to the world, so it must be a change of mentality, and both China and the United States must be persuaded.
Ko Wen-je also said that Xi Jinping made a national strategic mistake. Deng Xiaoping said in his will that he should keep a low profile, and Zhu Yuanzhang also said, "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly." But why is Xi Jinping so "arrogant", always emphasizing the "China's great line", was blocked by the United States as the main enemy.

Fighter planes fly here and there every day, in fact, China pushes Taiwan towards the United States
Ko Wen-je said that Taiwan’s presidential election in 1996 confirmed Taiwan’s independence, and there is no way to turn back. Furthermore, China suppressed it strongly. This time, he went to the United States to accept an interview with “Voice of America”. The host asked why Taiwan favored the United States. In fact, China is pushing Taiwan towards the United States, and CCP warplanes fly here and there every day, saying they want to attack Taiwan, which has led to Taiwan's growing subjectivity. Taiwan and China are like Qiong Yao's famous saying "know each other because of misunderstanding, and separate because of understanding."

The CCP indiscriminately arrests and sues Taiwanese! MAC: Delusions force self-censorship and create a chilling effect
Reporter : Chen Yufu / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/politics/breakingnews/4290029 / Image : The CCP arbitrarily arrests and prosecutes Chinese nationals on the grounds of national security.

The CCP arbitrarily arrests and prosecutes nationals on the grounds of national security. The MAC issued a document today emphasizing that the CCP is trying to force the people of Taiwan to conduct self-censorship by extending the extraterritorial effect of internal laws or through long-arm jurisdiction to create a chilling effect.
The editor-in-chief of Eight Banners Culture "Fucha" Li Yanhe lost contact after going to China in March this year. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council recently claimed that Li was involved in activities that endangered national security and was under investigation by the national security agency.
Taiwanese man Yang Zhiyuan was arrested in China in August last year for promoting Taiwan's entry into the United Nations. Recently, he was prosecuted by the Chinese Communist Party for allegedly engaging in Taiwan independence and separatist activities for a long time.
The MAC pointed out that the CCP is trying to force the people of Taiwan to conduct self-censorship and create a chilling effect by extending the extraterritorial effect of internal laws or through long-arm jurisdiction. The people of Taiwan will not accept it, let alone intimidation by the CCP. Freedom, democracy and human rights in Taiwan are of critical importance to the Chinese people.
The MAC mentioned that it is necessary to solemnly remind citizens that if they intend to travel to China, they must carefully assess the relevant personal safety risks in order to protect their own rights and interests.

The CCP is deceiving people too much! Those who raise objections to China abroad are persecuted under the pretext of "long-arm jurisdiction"!
◎Potassium cyanide
In recent years, it has been repeatedly reported that many pro-democracy activists have been illegally arrested in China. According to reports from the CCP’s official media, Yang Zhiyuan, the vice-chairman of Taiwan’s National Party, was accused by the Chinese government of advocating the idea of Taiwan independence for a long time and cooperating with others to set up an illegal organization for Taiwan independence to “promote Taiwan independence.” The goal is to become a sovereign and independent country” and loudly clamored for a “referendum to establish a country”. Therefore, he was suspected of the crime of secession and inciting secession. Therefore, in August 2022, he was arrested by the CCP’s National Security Bureau on the grounds of “separation”.

The CCP accused him of long-term involvement in Taiwan independence and separatist activities. The picture shows the detainee screen broadcast last year by the Chinese state media "CCTV". (Flipping CCTV)
In order to suppress our country, the CCP has not only persecuted our country’s people’s livelihood and diplomacy in the political and economic aspects, but also recently used its long-arm jurisdiction to frequently arrest those who have publicly spoken against the CCP. Yang Zhiyuan, vice chairman of the National Party, and Fu Cha, editor-in-chief of Eight Banners Culture, were persecuted and imprisoned by the CCP under the background of this time and space. In this regard, the Chinese government has continued to protest to the CCP authorities and pointed out that their arrests are not in line with human rights. However, under the CCP’s one-party dictatorship system, China’s courts have already become the voice of the CCP, so the complaints made by the Chinese government were unsurprisingly ignored.
The concept of long-arm jurisdiction originated from the United States. Its original intention is to prevent crimes occurring abroad from infringing on the rights and interests of the country, but the country is unable to take countermeasures against this. Therefore, this law was created to protect the rights and interests of all countries from the concept of infringement. Today, the CCP is abusing this right to persecute those who speak unfavorably to the CCP abroad, arrest them when they enter China, and convict them on trumped-up charges such as incitement or suspicion of secession. The serious persecution of human rights is also a violation of freedom of speech.

The CCP’s persecution of dissidents at home and abroad through the above-mentioned methods will surely have a chilling effect in the long run, causing no one to dare to raise objections to the actions of the CCP. The writer hereby calls on all countries to work together to put pressure on the CCP authorities and demand that the CCP release the dissidents persecuted by it to ensure that the freedom of speech in various countries is not violated by the CCP.
