The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has long begun to inspect people’s mobile phones at will in many places. The soon-to-be-implemented “National Security Regulations” will officially authorize the police to inspect personal mobile phones. Public opinion criticized the CCP for doing whatever it wants, and overseas people are even more worried abou their safety when traveling to CCP China.

On 26 April 2024, the Ministry of State Security of the Communist Party of China announced the "Regulations on the Security Administrative Law Enforcement Procedures of National Security Agencies" and the "Procedural Regulations on the Handling of Criminal Cases by National Security Agencies", which will be implemented on 1 July 2024. It mentioned that so-called "law enforcement officers" in the area would be equipped with the power to "inspect electronic devices."

Article 40 of the "Regulations on Administrative Enforcement Procedures of National Security Agencies" stipulates that after receiving the approval and inspection notice from the person in charge of the national security agency at or above the municipal level, the CCP's national security agencies can inspect the electronic equipment and related equipment of relevant individuals and organizations "in accordance with the law" including apps, tools, content, and more.

In so-called "emergency situations", law enforcement officers only need to obtain the approval of the national security chief at or above the municipal level and present their police card or reconnaissance card to directly conduct on-site inspections.

The Regulations do not specify what constitutes an “emergency situation.” This means that local national security officials of the Communist Party of China may use "emergency situations" as an excuse to order the national security police to inspect electronic devices such as personal mobile phones and computers at any time without any legal procedures.

Article 42 of the "Regulations" also stipulates that the national security department can also inspect the places where electronic equipment is used or stored.

The Chinese Communist regime has never cared about the rights of the Chinese people. It was revealed that the police in Beijing, Shanghai and other places have already begun searching the mobile phones of mainlanders on the streets and stations. This time, the authorities gave the national security police the power to inspect personal mobile phones and computers, which particularly attracted the attention of foreign people.

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan media and Chinese media in other countries have reported that the CCP’s “new national security regulations” do not specifically specify that they are only for Chinese citizens, and that immigrants may also encounter the danger of the CCP’s national security inspection of mobile phones and computers.

Tsai Ming-yan, Director of National Security of the Republic of China, reminded Taiwanese to pay special attention when communicating with the mainland. The contents of mobile phones may be inspected when entering and exiting customs, so be particularly careful in this regard. We must also pay great attention to the impact of the CCP’s new regulations on Taiwanese businessmen, foreign businessmen, foreign journalists, and human rights activists.

As the CCP’s control escalates, some overseas relations will become the focus of attention

Editor / Interview :  Li Yun / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/05/03/a103877032.html

Recently, the CCP’s stability maintenance work has fully penetrated into the lives of grassroots people. A community worker revealed that people with overseas connections will be the targets of special attention. Analysts believe that the CCP is using the methods of the Mao era to control society, and the effect will only be counterproductive.

Recently, the Communist Party of China issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Community Workers Team", which clarified that community workers are full-time personnel engaged in party building, governance, and service work in the community.

From "stability maintenance information officers" to "grid officers" to "community workers," the CCP's control methods over the people have been continuously upgraded.

Mr. Han, a community worker in Qingdao, Shandong Province, told VOA that in addition to sweeping the floors, assisting the government in educating residents not to answer calls from overseas, and requiring the installation of anti-fraud apps, community workers also need to pay attention to overseas relations.

Ms. Li from Jiangsu Province has a son who lives in the United States. She has become the subject of "care". From the beginning of 2023 to the present, community workers have visited her home at least 10 times to inquire about the situation.

In addition to overseas relations, overseas visits to residents' homes to visit relatives are also a focus of attention. During the New Year period in Mr. Han's community, many overseas Chinese return to their hometowns to visit relatives, and he will visit them one by one to remind them to register.

Analysts believe that the CCP is now using methods from the Mao Zedong era to control the entire society.

Former China Human Rights Chairman Liu Qing: "In Mao Zedong's era, the so-called "overseas relations" and "foreign connections" were all unfounded crimes that could lead to beheading. As for people with overseas relations, they are equivalent to the fifth category, and they are in the police system, Under the strict supervision of the national security system and the neighborhood committee system.”

Analysts believe that this kind of control method can produce terrifying chain reactions and effects, making it easier for the CCP to manage and suppress society.

Liu Qing: "What a dictator likes to do most is to scare the whole society into trembling. Xi Jinping just wants to scare the whole society. You see, he keeps enacting the Counterintelligence Law, the National Security Law, etc." , and at the same time he practices mass dictatorship, and these things are complementary to each other.”

In recent years, Xi Jinping has repeatedly called for the development of the "Maple Bridge Experience" of the Mao era, which is also part of the work of community workers.

Liu Qing: "Xi Jinping is doing this now with a special sense of urgency. Because of the perverse actions he has done, his economy has been messed up, and his social reputation and public opinion are all scolding him. So he must step up his efforts on society. To intimidate him is actually to preserve his dictatorial power and his so-called ‘one figure’ status within the party.”

Analysts believe that the CCP’s control will only be counterproductive.

Jie Lijian, vice chairman of the China Democratic Party Joint Headquarters: "This kind of control over the people has no effect and can only be counterproductive. It will only make more people dissatisfied with this matter and cause more public dissatisfaction. It will make it more and more difficult to control the people. Things must turn against each other. If pushed to the end, it will accelerate the process and effect of its demise. "

People in mainland China said that the whole of China is now in a state of war. Community personnel often go to residents' homes to inquire about the situation, and WeChat chats must also be controlled.

Ms. Wang, a citizen of Guangdong: "Who have you contacted on WeChat? He will interrogate you. WeChat is used in China. When everyone comes to your place, he will ask, who have you contacted on WeChat? That means, have you contacted anyone abroad?" People are concerned about these issues. Now that surveillance is everywhere, people are very nervous, and they are even more nervous now.”

Ms. Wang said that she knew several Falun Gong practitioners who were very kind-hearted people and were often arrested.

Ms. Wang: "Nowadays, many people are arrested at home for no reason. If they think you have connections overseas, they will arrest you. Now all Falun Gong practitioners go to their homes one by one, and no one is left behind. This is the case across the board. monitor."

Ms. Li, a resident of Jiangsu, said that she has no overseas connections and is often harassed and threatened just because she receives calls from overseas.

Ms. Li: "This country is in a mess now. It is more controlled and lawless than before. The government is really a gangster now. Because I accepted interviews from overseas media, they threatened me again and again. And now we are on WeChat, in No matter where you post anything, it will be blocked and blocked, and you won’t be able to make a sound.”

Ms. Li criticized the CCP’s double standards. Officials send their families abroad to enjoy democracy and freedom but at home they pursue people with overseas ties.

Ms. Li: "The biggest thing I misjudged was that the door of the country was opened, and world civilizations were pouring in. Even if they were not moving forward, at least they would not be going backwards. But I didn't expect that it would be a big step backwards. Now. The younger generation of leaders are trampling on the rule of law even more than before. If the young are better than the old, they know that there is really no way out for this country if they punish and suppress the people. "

Ms. Li said that more than ten years ago, many people hoped that the CCP could reform, but now everyone hopes that it will collapse as soon as possible.

Mainland Chinese police ban printing of accusation materials, lawyer: illegal

Reporters : Li Yun and Gao Yu / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/05/04/a103877337.html

Recently, the news that the public security department in Suqian, Jiangsu Province banned the printing of charging materials has attracted attention. The local police confirmed this. The lawyer pointed out that this practice lacks legal basis and is illegal.

Shanghai lawyer Yang Weihua disclosed that recently, his team was handling a case in Suqian City and went to a print shop to print legal materials involving accusations. They were told that the local police prohibited the printing of such materials, and violators would be fined 2,000 to 5,000 yuan.

The police confirmed that there is a relevant local ban.

On 4 May 2024, Ms. Wang, a citizen of Jiangsu Province, told NTDTV that this kind of thing has been happening for several years, mainly to prevent enemies from printing accusation materials.

Ms. Wang, a citizen of Jiangsu: "This country is too dark. Now the underworld is in power. Now we ordinary people have no place to speak out."

Ms. Wang revealed that some petitioners were arrested for printing charging materials.

Ms. Wang: "I heard that a woman was sent to a mental hospital. And now they won't even let you file a complaint, and they won't let you go to the National Bureau of Letters and Calls. You will be detained when you come back, and you will have to enter Black jail."

A clerk at a printing shop in Suqian, Jiangsu Province said that no prosecution materials, red-headed documents, religious content, etc. will be printed.

Mainland legal person: "Isn't this a cover-up? Can't people buy a printer to print at home? Or can't they just write a letter of accusation by hand? Or do they have to register with their real names when buying printers in the future? When buying pens and paper, merchants also have to ask what they are used for?"

In fact, not only Jiangsu, but also large cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have banned the copying of accusation materials. In addition, many photocopy shops in Beijing have been ordered to close, and post office boxes on the streets have also been greatly reduced.

Wu Shaoping, a Chinese human rights lawyer in the United States: "This is a very ridiculous thing. According to the Constitution, any citizen has the right to report, expose and accuse. This is one of the most basic civil rights. What powers does the Chinese Communist Party's public security have? What laws prohibit citizens from doing so? To print a complaint letter?”

Analysis points out that there is no legal basis for the public security ban on printing complaint materials.

Wu Shaoping: "The police at the print shop do not have the power to directly manage it. Because the print shop is not a printing factory or a publishing house. Therefore, its approach has no legal basis."

Zhongnanhai "eliminates traitors" before the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee releases signals of internal strife

The Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee, which is of great concern to the outside world, is scheduled to be held in July. Before that, Chen Yixin, the Minister of National Security of the CCP, announced the launch of the "Five Anti-Anti-Struggle" to "dig out nails and eliminate traitors" internally." Wait, another round of internal fighting signals are released.

The Ministry of State Security of the Communist Party of China, which has always been on the secret front, has become more and more high-profile recently. It not only intervenes in diplomacy and finance, but also recently launched the "Five Antis" movement, which has attracted public attention.

Chen Yixin, Minister of the Ministry of National Security of the Communist Party of China, wrote an article in the party media "Study Times" on April 29, saying that the Ministry of National Security must carry out in-depth the "Five Anti-Struggle" of "anti-subversion, anti-hegemony, anti-separatism, anti-terrorism, and anti-espionage." Among them, "counter-subversion" requires resolute prevention and resistance to "colour revolutions" externally, and mentions resolutely digging out "nails and removing traitors" and so on.

In this regard, independent commentator Cai Shenkun wrote an article on the overseas X platform on May 2, saying that this shows that the "nails" and "traitors" around Xi Jinping, the leader of the Communist Party of China, are everywhere and cannot be guarded against. For example, last year, Foreign Minister Qin Gang, Defense Minister Li Shangfu and a large number of senior generals of the Rocket Force who were personally promoted by Xi were purged.

Cai Shenkun believes that Chen Yixin launched the "five-anti-struggle" in order to intimidate party officials and dissidents, and not allow anyone to act rashly or make irresponsible remarks.

He analyzed that nowadays, Xi has dispersed the "knife handles" to various departments. These organs of the CCP are like the terrible mysterious organizations of the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history - Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei. Among them, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is the most powerful. Arresting people does not follow the rules and can be carried out at any time, no matter how high the position.

Wang Xiaohong, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Public Security, has repeatedly emphasized that the main task of the public security organs is to maintain "political security and regime security." This is completely different from the nature and responsibility of the Ministry of Public Security in the past when it was responsible for public social security affairs.

Cai Shenkun said that the Secret Service established by the Ministry of Public Security replaced the former Central Security Bureau, and officials at the deputy ministerial level and above were closely monitored and guarded. They even lost their freedom to go out to eat, talk in private, and meet with anyone.

In November last year, Wang Juntao, a political scientist who is familiar with the inside story of the Chinese Communist Party and chairman of the National Committee of the China Democratic Party, told The Epoch Times that life for retired leaders of the Chinese Communist Party was not easy, and they were under strict surveillance and were akin to being under house arrest. "They have to report whoever they see or not." Secretaries, guards, correspondents, drivers, chefs, etc. are all spies.

In addition, the Ministry of National Security, run by Chen Yixin, had no sense of existence in the past. Since last year, it has been frequently grabbing power and becoming more and more high-profile. Cai Shenkun believes that these "knife-handling" departments are fighting each other to seize power and compete for favor in front of Xi Jinping, which may cause a storm. The Ministry of National Security launched the "Five Antis" campaign, taking the lead in sounding the clarion call to punish people, or digging out a large number of "rebels" across the country.

In addition to the "Five Antis" campaign, the Cyberspace Administration of China will also launch a "big reporting" campaign. On 25 April 2024, the Cyberspace Administration of China held a national network whistle-blowing work conference, calling for “efforts to build a unified and sustainable ‘big whistle-blowing’ work pattern.” The focus of “big whistle-blowing” is obviously internal.

Radio France analyzed that whether it is the "Five Antis" or the "big whistleblower", the Chinese Communist regime gives people the impression that it is besieged on all sides, as if it is always surrounded by enemies at home and abroad, and there is a serious lack of security.

On 30 April, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which was originally supposed to be held before the end of last year, was scheduled to be held in July this year.

Wang He, an expert on China issues, told The Epoch Times on 1 May 2024 that the Third Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China involves important personnel arrangements, such as the treatment of Qin Gang, Li Shangfu and others. The repeated delays of this meeting show that there are very deep differences within the CCP.

Inner Mongolia government’s “milk tofu” operation

The Du Wen case attracted much attention from the outside world because it involved many senior government officials from the National People's Congress to local governments. The Du Wen case originated from a land dispute in Shenzhen in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in March 2008. On December 3, 2008, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government launched the operation code-named "Milk Tofu" to coordinate this land dispute. Du Wen confessed that in 2008 and 2010, under the instructions of his leadership, he went to Shenzhen and Beijing respectively to pay bribes to smoothen relations. The total amount of bribes was more than 6 million.

In May 2010, Du Wen was detained by the public security organs. The above-mentioned amount became the fact that the prosecutor accused Du Wen of corruption. Du Wen was sentenced to 12 years and eight months in prison in July 2016.

Du Wen told The Epoch Times, “When this matter (gifts with public funds from the government) was decided at the meeting, it was an order directly given by Battelle, an order directly given by Ren Yaping, and it was Secretary-General Ulan Battelle who coordinated and forced Zhao Liping to execute it. .

China's May Day epidemic escalates, the CCP intends to blame foreign countries for entry sampling inspections

Reporters : Liu Haiying and Mingyu / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/05/04/a103877375.html

The epidemic in China continues to spread, and the authorities have been concealing the truth. Many people said that people around them were repeatedly infected and suffered terribly; many people died, regardless of their positions, old or young. On the eve of the May Day holiday, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a rare notice requiring all localities to strengthen epidemic prevention and control and conduct nucleic acid tests on incoming passengers, triggering speculation that blame will be passed on.

Online videos show that during the May Day holiday, so many patients visited hospitals in many places in China that even doctors complained.

Hospital doctor: "May Day is not easy! Your legs hurt when you stand, and my back hurts when I sit here."

In early May, people in many places told NTDTV that the local epidemic situation has been heating up recently, and many people around them have died suddenly.

Mr. Wang, a citizen in the suburbs of Beijing: "The hospital is overcrowded. Oops, there are so many people. I don’t know what disease is coming. There are all kinds of diseases. The doctor said it was the flu, but I guess it is the new coronavirus. But the official does not report it, there is no statistical data, and the news does not Not reported or mentioned.”

Mr. Zhang, a Dalian citizen: "Many academicians, deans, and professors have died. Many old professors in a university in Beijing were basically gone when the government was released. It is the same everywhere, and many people must have died. The new crown epidemic has just Let’s face it, the number of cremated people in the first quarter is not disclosed, which is definitely not normal.”

Mr. Chen, a resident of Dazhou, Sichuan, said that the people who died around him were almost all pinks and party members who supported the Communist Party.

Mr. Chen, a citizen of Dazhou, Sichuan: "Every day, hospitals are overcrowded. In small hospitals on the streets, there are quite a lot of people getting injectables every day. Anyway, there are more sequelae of COVID-19. There are more elderly people, but also young people, some four or five years old. Ten years old. Their usual comments are of the brainwashed kind, and they are so poisoned that they don’t even understand what’s going on.”

On the eve of May Day, the Chinese Communist Party’s Disease Control and Prevention Bureau issued a rare notice stating that the new coronavirus was still mutating and that various regions should strengthen epidemic prevention and control. At the same time, all ports and airports are required to pay close attention to COVID-19 and other epidemics, and conduct so-called nucleic acid sampling tests for COVID-19 on entry personnel.

Li Linyi, a current affairs commentator: "This is a contradictory approach. It also shows that the CCP is preparing to do something. Since it basically does not conduct nucleic acid testing for domestic people, it does not conduct nucleic acid testing for people entering from abroad. Those people do nucleic acid testing, and it can obviously only use this part of the data to tell everyone in the future, you see, these viruses were brought into China by these people. "

Daivd Xu, former director of the Acupuncture Department of the China Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: "Testing people entering the country is just a scapegoat. It will be an excuse for the future if it cannot be covered up."

Mr. Lu, a resident of Anhui Province, recently told NTDTV that the local epidemic situation has escalated again, and the media also reported that there should be no gatherings on May Day. His whole family declared on the Epoch Times website to withdraw from the CCP, and often silently recited the nine-character mantra "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." The epidemic It has been very peaceful for more than three years.

Mr. Lu, a citizen of Anhui Province: "Fevers and colds have increased a lot, and hospitals are always overcrowded. This winter, many entrepreneurs, celebrities, and young people died in their forties or fifties, and some died suddenly. This is actually related to In this epidemic, it has something to do with the vaccine! During this period of time, there are even queues for funerals and there is no time for cremation. Just recite the nine words, "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good."

Mr. Shi, a resident of Jiangsu Province, said that many local people died during the epidemic. When several of his relatives and friends were critically ill, they sincerely recited the nine-character mantra and miraculously recovered.

Mr. Shi, a citizen of Jiangsu Province: "There is an 80-year-old man with heart disease, heart failure, and breathlessness. He needs to have a heart transplant. Before the operation, he recited the nine-character mantra and the result was cured. He also suffered from the same disease. Yes, everything went away in the hospital. I also had a relative with cancer, and it was cured after I recited the Nine-Character Mantra sincerely, and the effect was very good.”

In the early days of the outbreak, Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, published a warning in the article "Reason", "The current plague like the 'Chinese Communist Party virus' (Wuhan pneumonia) has a purpose and a goal. It is here to eliminate the evil party members. , People who are working with the evil Communist Party of China.”

Master Li also made it clear how to avoid the epidemic: "Such as clarifying the truth, withdrawing from the Communist Party of China, and reciting the mantra sincerely are the best panaceas."

Chinese Communist Consulate kidnapped dissidents in France and returned to China, whistleblower reveals details

The Chinese Communist Embassy in France, together with the so-called "Police Overseas Chinese Service Office" deployed by the Chinese Communist Party overseas, tried to escort dissident Ling Huazhan back to China from Paris Airport, who was unwilling to continue to cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party. CCP ultimately failed due to the intervention of the French media. The whistleblower who helped the client escape recently reported the case to the French police, saying that the client had been detained, beaten, tortured and threatened by Chinese personnel in France.

In the evening of 2 May 2024, local time, France 2 broadcast a special report, revealing that the Chinese Communist Embassy in France, members of the Sino-French Association, the Chinese underground police in France, expatriate organizations, etc. were closely cooperating with the Chinese public security. with organized kidnapping threats and attempts to force a dissident from China to return home.

French media broadcast footage of Chinese personnel escorting 26-year-old dissident Ling Huazhan to the Paris airport in a "large formation" in an attempt to force him to fly back to China.

Taiwan's Central News Agency reported that the French TV 2 team and the newspaper "Challenges" were notified in advance by Mr. Wang, a Chinese dissident who has connections with Ling Huazhan, and therefore followed the filming all the way and covered the entire process. Reports indicate that the CCP’s underground police network overseas does exist. Before the film was broadcast on the evening of the 2nd, the relevant media received a series of threats.

On 2 May, the whistleblower Mr. Wang, accompanied by his lawyer, met with the French Directorate General of Domestic Intelligence (DGSI), police and media reporters, and submitted relevant witness and physical evidence materials.

According to Mr. Wang’s disclosure, Ling Huazhan had previously helped the CCP in Germany, but later he wanted to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, so he reported the case to the German police with some evidence. The Chinese Embassy then threatened him to write a letter of apology and send him back to China if he was unwilling to continue cooperating with the Chinese government.

Ling Huazhan was asked to leave France and return to China. Mr. Wang believes that this may be because the German police have focused on the CCP's actions, so China asked Ling Huazhan to go to France first and then escorted him back to China.

After arriving in France, Ling Huazhan was locked up in a basement in Aubervilliers. During the day, he was forced to write self-criticisms and watch CCTV. At night, he had a video chat with his brother, who seemed to have been imprisoned in China.

Because Ling Huazhan was unwilling to compromise, he was once sent to the Yunnan and Sichuan restaurants in the 9th arrondissement of Paris and detained, where he was beaten many times and smeared with millet pepper. Ling Huazhan tried his best to preserve evidence during the process. In order to protect himself, Ling Huazhan began to pretend to cooperate and help the restaurant owner.

In February this year, Ling Huazhan contacted Mr. Wang, who had been living in Europe for several years, and asked him to help him.

On March 20, Ling Huazhan revealed to Mr. Wang that China required him to take the flight on the 22nd back to China, and police would escort him back then. So Mr. Wang contacted a French media reporter he knew, and the other party decided to cooperate in saving people and filming.

By 6 a.m. on March 22, French reporters and Mr. Wang began to squat and follow the photos. At 8 o'clock, Ling Huazhan entered the restaurant underground, and later got into two cars guarding the door. When Mr. Wang saw that the other party was a "big battle", he called two more French reporters to wait and take pictures at the airport.

Ling Huazhan entered the airport surrounded by two Chinese Consulate employees and several people wearing uniform red vests, but escaped on his own just before boarding the plane.

When the Chinese personnel angrily chased Ling Huazhan, the reporter of "Challenge" and the TV station team came to protect Ling Huazhan and helped him get his passport back. Later, French customs officers also arrived at the scene to learn about the situation.

But Mr. Wang said that although the CCP failed to escort Ling Huazhan that time, from March 22 to the present, Ling Huazhan has still been threatened by Chinese personnel from time to time, and has even been beaten and robbed of his mobile phone several times. Some people even sent him messages such as "(your) brother's leg has been broken" and "Abort his genitals". Ling Huazhan's family members were also coerced into joining the process of urging him to return, and all conversations he had with his family were required to be forwarded to the Chinese Communist Party's Ministry of Public Security.

On the afternoon of May 1, Ling Huazhan suddenly received a voice message from China, which contained the voice of his brother being tortured. His brother begged him to go to the embassy to testify in accordance with the CCP’s requirements, saying that the previous media reports were false. of. Ling Huazhan subsequently lost contact with the outside world.

At around 3 pm that day, the Chinese Embassy used Ling Huazhan’s mobile phone that they had snatched before to send a message in French to French media reporters, claiming to represent the Chinese (Chinese Communist Party) government, claiming that the previous French media reports were all lies, and asking the other side not to broadcast.

When French media reporters finally found Ling Huazhan at 6 pm that day, his mood was close to collapse. "I thought about it for a long time and decided not to go to the embassy. I can't betray you," he said, pleading with French journalists to help save his brother. That night, Ling Huazhan, accompanied by his lawyer, called the police.

Ling Huazhan's lawyer Henri Thulliez said that this case is very typical and clear, and "it is unacceptable that foreign authorities can harm the basic rights of a citizen on French soil."

Reporters Without Borders reports: CCP China has the largest number of journalists imprisoned

Reporters : Zhao Fenghua and Tian Yuan / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/05/04/a103877181.html

May 3rd is "World Press Freedom Day", and Reporters Without Borders released the 2024 "World Press Freedom Index" report. It shows that the Chinese Communist regime has detained more than 100 journalists so far. China under the CCP is still the largest journalist prison in the world.

According to the latest "World Press Freedom Index" report, the country with the highest press freedom in the world is still Norway, ranking first for the eighth consecutive year.

Among 180 countries and regions, CCP China ranks 172nd.

The report points out that over the past year, the CCP has remained the regime that has imprisoned the most journalists in the world, with 119 journalists currently imprisoned, including ten Hong Kong journalists.

Taiwan ranks 27th, up eight places from last year, and is known as the "model" of press freedom in the Asia-Pacific region.

The report pointed out that the Chinese Communist regime uses surveillance, coercion, intimidation and harassment to prevent independent journalists from reporting on so-called "sensitive" issues and suppresses press freedom globally.

The report lists a number of specific cases. For example: Chinese journalist Zhang Zhan, winner of the Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Award, was arrested in May 2020 while reporting on the CCP virus epidemic. He was later sentenced to four years in prison by the Chinese Communist authorities and is still in detention.

There was also a representative from Reporters Without Borders who was deported upon arrival in Hong Kong. The reporter was in Hong Kong to oversee the so-called "national security" trial of Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai.

According to the "2023 Global Writing Freedom Report" released by PEN America on 1 May 20241, the Chinese Communist authorities imprisoned 107 writers last year, the most in the world for the fifth consecutive year.

The report said that most of these writers were convicted and imprisoned for publishing comments critical of the CCP, such as human rights activist and writer Xu Zhiyong.

TikTok would rather be withdrawn than sold. Du Yijin reveals public opinion manipulation and brainwashing tools

Reporters : Hu Zonghan and Zhao Tingyu / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/05/04/a103877227.html

TikTok’s national security concerns have attracted concern from governments around the world. In the United States, Biden signed a basket of bills. Du Yijin, the founder of Taiwan AI Lab, exposed TikTok’s public opinion manipulation and how it can become a brainwashing tool at a forum.

TikTok, the international version of Chinese short video platform Douyin, is addicted by young people. However, a Reuters and Ipsos poll showed that 58% of Americans believe that the CCP uses TikTok to shape public opinion, and its influence has extended to Taiwan and the world.

Du Yijin, founder of Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory: "Of the 100 short videos that talk about China, more than 60% of them are admiring and admiring it. They say that this country is very good. When it comes to Taiwan, 95% of them talk about Taiwan being bad and the people’s livelihood is bad; when it comes to what the United States is, 100% (it’s not good). Who teaches your child most of the time? Maybe it’s Douyin. In the end, he will think it is. What? His political preferences are very obvious, so his political preferences are subtle and will have a long-term impact." Du Yijin emphasized that short videos have a powerful brainwashing effect. U.S. reports show that TikTok’s parent company “ByteDance” cooperates with the Ministry of Public Security of the Communist Party of China. U.S. President Biden has signed a bill requiring ByteDance to divest its investment within nine months; the European Union does not rule out a complete ban.

Du Yijin, founder of Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory: "When the U.S. senators were going to vote to ban TikTok, the (Chinese Communist Party) official media got involved. The first thing they did was of course talk about the U.S. censoring speech and violating regulations. Freedom of speech; what is the second thing about? TikTok is an act of plunder, turning a Chinese company into an American company, so TikTok said I would rather not sell it, but I would shut it down. Why? It’s not a company with commercial considerations.” Du Yijin also listed TikTok’s key issues, including whether the Chinese government can control the parent company of TikTok? According to the CCP’s Intelligence Law, are Chinese companies forced to cooperate? Did a whistleblower reveal that TikTok was monitoring American citizens? Is social media an effective weapon in democracies? Du Yijin emphasized that the answer is "yes!" He called on democratic countries to make choices regarding the TikTok issue.

8 million people disappear every year, their mobile phones are bound and their organs are donated

On 1 May 2024, the "Regulations on Human Organ Donation and Transplantation" announced by the State Council of the Communist Party of China came into effect. This new regulation has caused more concerns. The number of missing teenagers in China has increased recently, and some videos of people driving and robbing people on the streets of mainland China have appeared on social media. These videos are horrifying, and many people suspect that they are related to organ transplants. One of the videos showed a woman crossing the road and was suddenly tied into a car. There is also a video of two people walking on the street together. Suddenly one of them was tied directly into a car by a rope-like thing, and then the car ran away.

8 million people disappear in a year. How many become Hu Xinyu?

Zhao Lanjian, a senior Chinese media person, said in NTDTV's "Pinnacle View" program, "It was the first time for me to see such a horrifying footage. I received a video, which was about ten to twenty seconds long. In fact, I didn’t dare to release it to the public at first. I kept it on my phone and pondered it for almost a week, and then decided that it should be released to the public. Because if this scene is fake, then I feel very lucky, and I wish this video is fake. But if it is true, then I think this is a hellish environment, and we must condemn these behaviors.

Zhao Lanjian added, "Before 2022, I could not believe that there would be organ harvesting or a large number of missing people in China. Since I entered the Nujiang River in Yunnan in February 2022, I got the evidence video about the chained girl and the little flower plum. During this period, I came into contact with three families who were trafficked. Fortunately, I helped Sister He, one of the trafficked families, to find her fifth sister in three to four days. I also tried to help another old Lisu mother named Arnabu to help her find her daughter. When I released this information on Sina, along with the evidence related to Xiaohuamei and the Chain Girl, All of them were deleted by the Chinese network management department. Such behavior, in my opinion, is a sin in not allowing mothers who have lost their children to speak out.

"Similarly, when I went deep into the deep mountains of Yunnan, I not only had contact with families of missing persons, but also had many contacts with the local government and local public security organs. I called the Public Security Bureau of Nujiang Autonomous Prefecture, called the Public Security Bureau of Fugong County, and visited them in person. I wanted to know some local information and data about missing persons. I think this information and data are necessary. What is open to the public cannot be concealed. However, the public security bureaus of Nujiang Autonomous Prefecture and Fugong County in Yunnan Province treat all this data or case information as confidential information. When I want to know more about it, they will treat me as a bad person or a terrorist or criminal. , want to create some symbols for me, and then prohibit my behaviour."

"At the same time, I also visited the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee in Fugong County, Nujiang, Yunnan. Several colleagues from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and I spent several days inquiring about information about trafficked persons. But what awaited me next were calls from public security bureaus across the country. At that time, I was in extreme fear. I didn’t know what special situations I would encounter at night in the deep mountains of Yunnan. Later, under pressure from the government and the Public Security Bureau, I had no choice but to leave Yunnan."

Two months ago, I conducted a rigorous search on the Chinese Internet to find out how many people disappeared in China every year. As a result, in a deep corner of the Internet, I found official Chinese information. In 2017, at a public event held by Tencent and the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department, a reporter from the China News Agency listed a list that surprised me. According to the data, there were 8 million missing people in China that year. You must know that this event is organized by the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department, and this reporter’s statistical data must come from the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department. There were so many missing persons in 2017, and people across the country were completely unaware.

Such a data is too scary. Under the vast Pacific Ocean where China seems peaceful and calm, it has many terrifying links, one bloody case after another. There are 8 million data in it. How likely is Hu Xinyu? This is a question we must ask Chinese society, because this question determines what kind of society China is, or is it a humane society? On such a social basis, the process of legalizing organ transplantation, which took effect on 1 May 2024, has begun. What kind of future will this process bring? Can we still imagine it?

Do you love Huawei? Huawei loves your organs more

Shi Shan, senior editor and chief writer of The Epoch Times, said in the "Pinnacle View" that there is a very key word in the entire regulation of the Chinese Communist Party and the State Council, which is organ donation. Whether this donation is voluntary or voluntary, this is very scary. Many things happening in China now make everyone doubt whether these people are voluntarily donating their organs? Did their family members donate their organs? Or were they volunteered in some way? There is a very scary clause in the latest app launched by Huawei mobile phones. If you take this mobile phone, you may become the donor at any time. This is very, very scary, so many parents in mainland China have strict regulations on their children. Schools are constantly being monitored for blood tests and physical examinations. This is indeed something that everyone should worry about.

Zhao Lanjian said in the "Pinnacle View" that Huawei's organ donation app was spread among fans of Huawei mobile phones. Those Huawei fans are all little pink fans, fanatical patriots, and fanatical Huawei mobile phone users, but explosive information was generated in such a pink group. Many Huawei fans found that their mobile phones were bundled with a special organ donation software. This software has many switches and settings. Many Huawei fans found that they could not turn off the automatic recognition of organ donation in the software. Settings, that is to say, the mobile phone you spend money to buy actually comes with software that wants to donate your organs. This is very scary. It goes back to the issue of voluntary or involuntary donation in the regulations of the State Council. Well, now we have developed a mobile phone and special software for you. You have to agree or disagree.

Zhao Lanjian said that another scary thing about this mobile phone is that when you use the organ donation software, it does not allow you to take screenshots. The mobile software and mobile phone are afraid of being taken by others to obtain evidence. In other words, it is very likely that one day in the future, when a person is shopping, an accident suddenly occurs, and then someone will take his mobile phone and say that this person has signed an organ donation agreement before, and then he will If the person is brain dead, then his organs may be harvested alive or donated. I feel terrible when I think about this.

The crime of live harvesting was exposed for the first time. Personnel from the Ministry of Security testified and revealed the truth.

Guo Jun, editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times, said in the Pinnacle View that the Epoch Times first reported on the CCP’s large-scale illegal organ harvesting in 2006. At that time, some people who had escaped from the mainland came forward to testify. After so many years, I think it’s time to say that one of the witnesses clearly had a background in the Ministry of Security and he had a mission. But what he said is believed to be true through investigation, so it is estimated that there is a big split within the CCP and there are conflicts between factions, and they hope to discredit another faction through international public opinion. But no matter what, what he said was indeed common in China at that time. After we were exposed, many people were skeptical, many people did not believe it, and they did not dare to believe it. But after we exposed it, it actually had an effect. For example, the number of organ transplants in mainland China dropped significantly in the second year, which also attracted widespread attention from the international community. Later, the voluntary organ donation system established by the CCP was used to cover up the crimes involved, and it was done under this pressure.

Guo Jun said that in 2012, he attended the United Nations Conference on Human Rights at the invitation of an Italian NGO. He spoke for the first time in a public and formal international forum at the United Nations and directly raised the issue of organ harvesting by the Chinese Communist Party. That speech really had a great impact. After our speech, human rights representatives from about twenty countries approached us. At that time, the speech at the United Nations Human Rights Conference lasted only two minutes, but we had a large amount of information, evidence, various data, and confirmation from experts. We gave all this information to representatives of various countries. Therefore, later on, the international community attached great importance to the crime of organ harvesting by the Chinese Communist Party, including the United States. The United States later silently added the question of whether to participate in illegal organ transplantation in the entry visa form. In the past, the only requirement to enter the United States was to fill in whether it was a Nazi organization. , whether it is a terrorist organization, whether it is the Communist Party, whether it is drug trafficking and human trafficking. But then the clause on illegal organ transplantation was quietly added, indicating that the US government actually knew that this matter was real.

Independent TV producer Li Jun stated in the "Pinnacle View" that in March 2020, after several years of investigation, an independent court in the United Kingdom finally concluded that the Chinese Communist regime has been forcibly harvesting people's organs, and this behavior has been going on for a long time and constitutes a crime against humanity. The court believes that the evidence it has received shows that a considerable number of the sources of organs are Falun Gong practitioners, and some are from ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. They were sent to labor camps and had their organs harvested from alive.

The court reminds governments that when dealing with the Chinese Communist Party, they must know that they are dealing with a criminal government.

Guo Jun said in the "Pinnacle View" that organ harvesting is the greatest evil in human history. It not only kills people, but also relies on killing people to make money on a large scale. This has never been done before in human history. Therefore, the understanding of basic human morality and the bottom line of basic human civilization have had a great impact. Everyone needs to face this problem, which is how do you choose? The biggest change now is that more and more Chinese people know that this thing is true. In mainland China, many people are actually very worried about this kind of universal physical examination and blood test. An important reason for concern is that it is related to illegal organ transplantation. It is said to be illegal, but it is obviously supported by the official background of the Chinese Communist Party. Furthermore, this set of things created by the Chinese Communist Party has begun to spread overseas, including in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, things like organ harvesting have begun to occur. Cases such as people disappearing and their organs being stolen occur frequently. This shows that if the international community does not take measures, this evil will eventually spread and harm all mankind.

Preliminary report on Canada's investigation into foreign interference: CCP is the main threat

Reporter : Lin Xi / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/05/03/a103877151.html

On Friday (3 May 2024), Canada released a preliminary report investigating foreign interference, confirming that foreign interference in Canada’s elections harmed the rights of voters. The report pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party poses the most serious threat.

After a five-month investigation, the Canadian Ombudsman stated that foreign interference did occur in the 2019 and 2021 elections, affecting the results of some constituencies, infringing on the rights of voters, and undermining Canadians’ understanding of the electoral system. and trust in government.

The report clearly stated that the CCP secretly interfered in two general elections. The Ombudsman believes that the Chinese Communist Party is currently "the most persistent and sophisticated foreign interference threat to Canada."

The commissioner also pointed out that during the 2021 election, there was clear evidence that the Chinese Communist Party was involved and spread false information against former Conservative MP Zhao Jinrong to prevent Chinese Canadians from voting for him, causing him to lose the election. Before the 2019 general election, the Chinese consulate secretly exerted pressure on Chinese students and was suspected of forging documents to help pro-communist congressman Dong Hanpeng win the nomination.

The Ombudsman urged the government to increase transparency on the threat of foreign interference and take concrete measures to combat it in order to rebuild public trust.

Mary Joseph Hogg, Commissioner of Canada’s Open Commission to Investigate Foreign Interference: “The next phase of the (Inquiry) Commission’s work requires a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that produce or facilitate foreign interference. We must go all out to detect, prevent and combat foreign interference. put one's oar in."

The investigative committee will begin the second phase of its investigation in the autumn and is expected to issue a final report by the end of the year.

On the eve of the CCP leader’s visit to Europe, French President Macron first criticized the CCP during the interview

Reporter : Chen Yue / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/05/03/a103877138.html

On the eve of the Chinese Communist Party leader’s visit to Europe, French President Macron emphasized on Thursday that Europe’s strategic interests must be defended. He criticized the Chinese Communist Party for not respecting international trade rules.

Before the leader of the Chinese Communist Party is about to visit Europe and France, French President Macron criticized the Chinese Communist Party for not respecting international trade rules in an exclusive interview published by The Economist on 2 May 2024, and bluntly said that the European economic system has too much self-regulation and investment It is not enough and the protection is not enough. Europe must defend its strategic interests in its interactions with the CCP and ensure fair trade.

Current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan: “First of all, I want to give him (party leader Xi) a warning, which is to make a statement that France has a relatively tough attitude on this issue. The second intention is that Macron also hopes to use this method to give Germany is applying pressure."

European companies and governments have long been affected by unfair access to and unfair competition in the Chinese market. Macron emphasized that Europe must be pragmatic, must defend Europe's strategic interests, and do its best to reverse unfair trade relations with the CCP.

Tang Jingyuan: "Macron certainly hopes to form a united front within the EU. In the future, he can make a strong response to the CCP's trade dumping issue."

Current affairs commentator Li Linyi: "(The EU) wants to sanction the CCP, but it is also worried that it will damage its own economy and at the same time push the CCP completely to Russia. This is a dilemma for him now."

Due to the CCP’s excessive subsidy policy, a large number of Chinese products with overcapacity were sold to Europe, seriously damaging the European market. Analysts believe that even if the CCP wants to take advantage of existing differences in the EU to sow relations between Europe and the United States and win over Europe, Macron's move also demonstrates his determination to defend the interests of France and Europe.

The gravel layer is too thin without reinforcements. Guangdong's collapsed highway is accused of being a waste of time

The Mei-Da Expressway collapsed in Guangdong, killing at least 48 people. Industry insiders accused the state-owned enterprise responsible for road construction, based on photos of the collapse site, of cutting corners and creating a shoddy project.

An industry insider who claimed to have participated in the construction of the Xihan Expressway pointed out that according to regulations, in areas prone to landslides, the highway should be built with rock as the base, concrete should be poured, and rubble should be used as the outer layer and cement joints should be used. In actual construction, there is “a lot to make a fuss about”, and many places can cut corners and reduce costs.

Some people in the industry pointed out based on photos of the landslide site that not a single steel bar could be seen in the concrete layer of the highway, and the bottom gravel layer below was only 20 centimeters by visual inspection. There was not a single tie rod visible in the middle longitudinal joint connecting the two roads. This is not the case. Complying with regulations, how does this kind of road pass supervision and acceptance?

Some netizens accused that the construction cost of one kilometer of the road section where the incident occurred was close to 100 million yuan, but no steel bars were used. The netizen was apparently implying that the construction company had embezzled project funds.

Aerial video uploaded online shows that the road section where the accident occurred is full of huge cracks and traces of repairs, indicating the poor quality of the project.

The project builder and operator of the Mei-Da Expressway are both companies under the Guangdong Provincial Communications Group.

An engineer told the mainland media that this section of the expressway should be in a landslide area, but the construction company did not use a safer viaduct, but chose the relatively low-cost method of filling the roadbed with the slope. Although the adjacent sections were A brief slope protection is provided, but retaining and supporting structures such as gravity retaining walls, soil nails, anchors, and anti-slide piles are not visible.

At about 2:10 a.m. on May 1, a road surface collapse occurred on the Guangdong Meida Expressway (S12) from Dabu to Fujian. After the accident, the Chinese Communist authorities rushed to announce the number of casualties. On the 2nd, the death toll was raised to 48. There were three more people whose DNA was being compared, and there were 30 injured. Authorities have not yet announced how many vehicles were buried. Some online articles criticized that there are dense surveillance on highways. Do we have to wait until all the cars are dug out before releasing the numbers?

There are also videos showing that there are official personnel at the collapse site to "maintain stability" and no photography is allowed.
