Report from the Ministry of Internal Affairs

October 29th, 08:10:01, 1983

“… the reports have been confirmed then?” Iveshnya asked, his voice cold as he spoke into the phone, his face plain as he looked down at the clock on his desk, making note of the time.

“Yes, it appears that some more contingents of the People’s Liberation Army[1] have been deployed in northern Xinjiang. At the moment, they seem to just be soldiers from the Engineer corps, but considering the recent activity around the US electronic listing stations[2], and continued presence of their forces near the Afghan border there is likely more to it,” the voice answered back, speaking in a curt military tone tinted by a Belorussian accent.

“A possible border conflict, or is a military intervention in Afghanistan the preferred explanation?” Iveshnya droned out, a measured expression on his face as he glanced over to a military map hung up on the wall to his left. His eyes calculating the shifting forces that moved across the foreign border.

“No, we found it unlikely. In addition to recent military downsizes, due to our recent victories in the Afghan war the Chinese have been relaxing their support for the Mujāhidīn[3]. If anything, it seems more like a rattling of the sabre…” the voice intoned in an arrogant but considering tone, unaware of the disapproving glance that Iveshnya turned to the phone-set.

“Or, an attempt to distract us while they attempt to infiltrate our borders. We have both our facility here and Leninsk[4] to consider,” Iveshnya corrected, his voice flat. He received silence in response, accompanied by the electric hiss of the telephone as he sat in his office, surrounded by stacks of documents.

“… Yes, that is what I was about to get to,” the voice resumed after a poignant pause, “as for the security of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, measures have already been taken to secure it and our missile launch facilities. As for your directorate, we have already informed the First Deputy Minister, but we will be expanding military presence in the city and re-designating it as a closed city for the time being. In addition to a few other measures,” the voice explained matter-of-factly.

“And how did First Deputy Minister Berlioz react?” Iveshnya asked, his eyes glancing to the door of his office.

“She agreed with the measures, of course,” the voice answered brusquely, like a child when they become over-confident in their lie. Iveshnya kept silent for a moment, considering something as he left the caller waiting.

“Very well. I shall inform my directorate of the new measures. When do you expect the new security forces to arrive here at Nizki-Gorod?” Iveshnya asked in a cold tone as he raised from his desk to look at the calendar.

“They should arrive later today. They were moved here quite quickly as the matter was deemed urgent,” the voice answered stiffly, though unable to hide a smug tone in his voice.

“Today?” Iveshnya repeated in a clinical tone, only the slight flicker of surprise in his eyes being a marker of his mood. Sadly, his interlocutor could not see this, and likely would not notice even if he could. After a moments silence, “very well. Is that all?”

“Yes, that is everything Comrade Iveshnya,” the voice answered politely.

“Then I shall bid you good-day, Comrade Noshpay.” Iveshnya placed the phone back onto its holder, which chimed slightly in response. He stood up from his seat, moving to grab his coat, a gun-mettle grey double-breasted affair that fell to his shins, lifting his hat from the same hook and dropping the faded cotton pork-pie onto his head. He strode out of his office, walking briskly past the MVD offices to the KGB side of the ministry. When he opened the door, he received a few curious glances from the clerks, all of which quickly withered away when they noticed who had entered.

He made straight for Dǎi’s office, pushing open the door as he came to it. The jiāngshī looked up at his supervisor, his surprise quickly falling away into professionalism. “Comrade Dǎi, I have just been informed of some new security measures that will be implemented within the directorate, and the city as whole. Would you please organize for everyone to gather shortly so I can inform the department of the new changes?” Iveshnya enumerated quickly and clearly.

“Of course, Comrade supervisor,” Dǎi answered quickly, receiving a nod from Iveshnya in return.

“Thank you. I am going to meet with the First Deputy Minister, and send a message to Colonel Ivan. I leave things in your hands for this moment,” Iveshnya continued, turning around as he finished, Dǎi making no protest to his instructions.

Iveshnya departed the building quickly, ignoring the concerned looks of the clerical staff that saw him go, and quickly exiting through the checkpoint kiosk before beginning to make his way towards the edge of the city. He advanced quick-march through Nizky-Gorod, taking the most direct route through the organized streets and empty frames of microraions[5]. As he approached the city’s periphery, he saw the small collections of Internal troops lingering around the access points of the city and called to one of them.

The man who ran over, a thin, pale man with close-cropped hair tucked under a peaked cap, gripping an AK-74u in his freckled hand. “Yes, Comrade Iveshnya?” the young man, a Sergeant – marked out by his crimson red shoulder straps marked with the initials BB[6] - asked deferentially, nervousness clear in his voice.

“Comrade Sargent, I need you to send a message to the Colonel to expect the arrival of military forces later today, and to not harrier their entry,” Iveshnya instructed crisply, looking down at the young man, shorter than him by about seven inches.

“Of course, Comrade Iveshnya,” the Seargent responded, delivering a rigid salute before dashing off, his interlocutor not bothering to watch him go as he walked closer to the city’s border. Berlioz had been called to Alma-Atay[7] to meet with Kazakh officials, having left in a hurry despite her annoyance at the summons. As Iveshnya walked up the end of the pavement netx to the road leading to the Kazakh capital, checking his watch – which read half-past nine – he spotted the black-painted car of Berlioz. The open-topped limousine, a GAZ-14 Chaika[8], roared down the tarmac as its colossal driver sat in the modified vehicle. She spotted Iveshnya stood on the pavement patiently and swerved up to the pavement, the man not flinching from where he stood even as the car came within inches of him.

“Good morning, Comrade Deputy First Minister,” Iveshnya greeted in a monotone voice as Berlioz nodded for him to get in the car with her, which he obliged, striding around the front to get into the passenger’s seat. As soon as he had stepped into the car the Cerberus slammed her foot onto the accelerator, the limo lurching forward as Iveshnya calmly closed the door.

“They told you as well then?” Berlioz asked sharply, the lip of her central head being hitched up in displeasure, not directed to her passenger.

“Yes, just over an hour ago. I instructed a member of the Internal troops to inform Colonel Ivan of the incoming troops, but he will likely want to meet before he takes any initiative himself,” Iveshnya answered in a militaristic tone that fell into criticism of the subject at the last moment.

“The man can’t decide for himself.” Berlioz echoed her subordinate’s criticism in a much harsher tone as she approached the stationed Internal troops she didn’t slow down. The guards looked as if they were going to stop the car, but abandoned the notion on seeing the face of the driver and passenger. The car roared down the empty streets of Nizki-Gorod, the engine noise echoing off the skeletal structures of the unfinished city, builders and manual labourers staring out at the racing limousine that tore through the city to the ministry building. As they pulled onto the ministry street, they saw a LUV[9] - specifically a UAZ-469[10] – parked outside the ministry building, and from this olive-brown car stepped out the Colonel the two MVD members had been discussing. Berlioz swerved the limousine onto the pavement close to the LUV and its officer, as both she and Iveshnya got out of the car and approached the Colonel.

Colonel Ivan Ivanovich Trustoy[i] was a man that embodied the average. He was of middling height and build, with only the typical physical advantages of life as a soldier. He had his strawberry blonde cropped short into a buzz-cut, thin eyebrows of a matching colour hung over his passive eyes that matched with a face that displayed a total lack of initiative. A man who lacked the energy to take action himself. In a way it made him perfect for what his superiors wanted from Ivan – but it made him a poor commander outright. “Good morning, Comrade Deputy First Minister, Comrade Directorate Chief,” the Colonel greeted with a salute, speaking in textbook Russian as he approached his superiors.

“Good morning, Comrade Colonel,” Berlioz returned sharply, Iveshnya only giving a nod in response, “I assume you are here about the news.” Her reply was more statement than question as she looked down at the officer.

“You are correct, Comrade Deputy First Minister,” Ivan replied, nodding to the tall women as he kept gaze with her, despite her taller stature, “I have come to ask for confirmation of my orders. How exactly am I to proceed?”

“You have already been given your orders, to let in the new troops,” Iveshnya stated dully, looking at Ivan with a withering glare.

“Of course, but then what is to become of me and my troops? I have not been told as to our role in the continued protection of this city. What is to be our new orders?” Ivan delivered in response, posing his question with a simple honesty.

“You are to remain guarding the city, in addition to the newly deployed troops, but with even stricter inspections than before – as should be obvious.” Berlioz’s last comment came with a wicked bite, though her faces were absent of the usual cruel smirk that accompanied the tone.

“Of course, I’ll issue the order now. Thank you, Comrade Deputy First Minister, Comrade Directorate Chief, have a good day,” the Colonel stated in departure, giving a rigid salute before walking back to the LUV and hopping into the driver’s seat, and driving off down the street. As the Colonel departed, Iveshnya turned and began to walk up the Ministry building, Berlioz following soon after, keeping a severe expression on her trifecta of faces.

“I instructed Comrade Dǎi to organize the staff together so that they could be informed of the new measures,” Iveshnya stated cooly, staring straight forward as he was waived through the checkpoint, the members of the militsaya saluting the pair as they passed them.

“Good. I will inform them myself,” the Cerberus stated calmly, her words clearly leaving no room for negotiation.

“Of course, First Deputy Minister,” Iveshnya replied, monotone as they now walked through the lobby towards the stairwell, Berlioz overtaking the man with effortless long strides. The members of the directorate were all gathered in the canteen, a sea-foam green room with light blue Limonium flooring. The various staff member were all assembled at the tables of the canteen, the combined members of both the east and west wings packing out the room. The echoing clamour of the room fell to rapid silence as both Berlioz and Iveshnya entered, their eyes shifting over from their conversation partners to their superiors.

Berlioz walked to the centre of the room, Iveshnya walking in step behind her and standing by the rear wall, close to Dǎi. She looked over the room for a moment with a wicked smile on her face as she did. “Good afternoon, Comrades!” she began, smiling evilly to the crowd. “Due to some recent incidents, it has been decided that security will be further increased, and that Nizky-Gorod will be a closed city from henceforth. Specific details of how this will affect clearances and required documentations will be further explained and issued over the coming month. For now – as far as you all should be concerned, this city does not exist.” Her statement shook the room, but they stayed silent under the gaze of the monstrous Cerberus. She elaborated on a few smaller points, such as the likely chance of relocation for the staff-members, both to be closer or directly into the city as soon as the latter option was possible. When she finished the talk, she dismissed the gathering and left to go to her office, summoning Iveshnya to follow after her.

At around ten minutes past four in the afternoon, the troops came to the city. Iveshnya received a call from Colonel Ivan as soon as the troops, apparently comprised of mechanized infantry, amounting to what seemed to be a brigade. Soon, both Iveshnya and Berlioz were walking down to the front of the ministry building. A few minutes later, a great convoy of 6x6 trucks, troops stuffed in the Ural-4320’s[11], escorted by BTR-70’s[12] and BMP-2’s[13]. At the head of this convoy was a UAZ-469 which pulled close to the pavement in front of Iveshnya and Berlioz. As soon as the car came to a stop a man stepped out of the passenger side and walked around the bonnet to the pair. The monstrous figure that came round, stuffed into a dress uniform that showed the rank of major on his red and gold shoulder-boards, was a tall, imposing figure covered in off-white fur, loosely resembling a polar bear. Though, noticeably all the teeth in their mouth resembled blood-soaked snow in colour, like a nightmarish bear-trap.

“Good afternoon, Comrades!” the monster declared, a perpetual smile being levied at the two MVD officials as he saluted them with a black skeletal hand.

“Good afternoon, Major,” Berlioz replied, Iveshnya not making a response as Berlioz led the discussion. “You’ve brought quite a force to our doorstep,” she stated with a snide look on her face, the checkpoint guards at the kiosk behind her eyeing the force warily, their watching looks catching on the machine guns and cannons of the APC’s[14] and IFV’s[15].

“Well, I wanted to give some display of our forces to Comrade First Deputy Minister, as well as greet you since we will be working together from now on,” the Major replied, his perennial unsettling smile shining forth along with his cold black sunken eyes, more like coal-pits than anything living. Berlioz smiled evilly in response, her trifecta of wicked jaws each splitting into their own grin.

“What is your name, Major?” she asked calmly, a confident air hanging around the woman like a golden mantle.

“Norstreovich, Comrade First Deputy Minister,” the Major replied, looking up at her. As he replied, Berlioz pitched herself down, leaning down close to the smiling solider.

“Let us enjoy working together then, Major Norstreovich,” she whispered in a manic tone, her sadistic smiles pulled just-too-wide as she bared her innumerous fangs at the sudden invader. Before Norstreovich could respond she straightened back up and spun around on her heels to walk back to the ministry building, making a show of adjusting her lapels. Iveshnya regarded the Major with a measured look, his eyes looking down at him before he gave a unenthused salute and turning to leave.

My piece for the Represent Zine. G1 era Beachcomber as a Uyghur man named Behtiyar Cebrail.

Today is the last day for pre-orders, so head over to @allsparkzines to reserve your copy!

While the proceeds of the zine are going to a charity to support the Quiluete people, I am personally choosing to donate $45 (the price of the full zine package) to the Uyghur Human Rights Project. As I've chosen for my humanformers Beachcomber to be Uyghur, I've felt that I've had a responsibility to educate myself more on how China has been treating the Uyghur ethnic group and trying to avoid companies like Shien that uses cotton from Xinjiang that uses forced Uyghur labor. If you can, please look into this organization and consider donating yourself.

Who are the Uyghurs and why is China being accused of genocide.

Human rights groups believe China has detained more than one million Uyghurs against their will over the past few years in a large network of what the state calls "re-education camps", and sentenced hundreds of thousands to prison terms.

A series of police files obtained by the BBC in 2022 has revealed details of China's use of these camps and described the routine use of armed officers and the existence of a shoot-to-kill policy for those trying to escape.

China denies all allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. The Chinese government - speaking after details of the Xinjiang Police Files were published - said the peace and prosperity brought to Xinjiang as a result of its anti-terrorism measures were the best response to "all sorts of lies".

Satellite images show rapid construction of camps in Xinjiang, like this one near Dabancheng

Who are the Uyghurs?

There are about 12 million Uyghurs, mostly Muslim, living in Xinjiang, which is officially known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).

The Uyghurs speak their own language, which is similar to Turkish, and see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations. They make up less than half of the Xinjiang population.

Recent decades have seen a mass migration of Han Chinese (China's ethnic majority) into Xinjiang, allegedly orchestrated by the state to dilute the minority population there.

China has also been accused of targeting Muslim religious figures and banning religious practices in the region, as well as destroying mosques and tombs.

Uyghur activists say they fear that the group's culture is under threat of erasure.

Where is Xinjiang?

Xinjiang lies in the north-west of China and is the country's largest region.

Xinjiang is a mostly desert region and produces about a fifth of the world's cotton.

Human rights groups have voiced concerns that much of that cotton export is picked by forced labour, and in 2021 some Western brands removed Xinjiang cotton from their supply chains, leading to a backlash against the brands from Chinese celebrities and netizens.

What are the allegations against China?

Several countries, including the US, UK, Canada and the Netherlands, have accused China of committing genocide - defined by international convention as the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".

The declarations follow reports that, as well as interning Uyghurs in camps, China has been forcibly mass sterilising Uyghur women to suppress the population, separating children from their families, and attempting to break the cultural traditions of the group.

People who have managed to escape the camps have reported physical, mental and sexual torture.

Women have spoken of mass rape and sexual abuse.

What does China say?

China denies all allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. In response to the Xinjiang Police Files, China's foreign ministry spokesman told the BBC that the documents were "the latest example of anti-China voices trying to smear China".

China says the crackdown in Xinjiang is necessary to prevent terrorism and root out Islamist extremism and the camps are an effective tool for re-educating inmates in its fight against terrorism.

Ethnocide/Genocide of Uyghurs in China

China’s primarily Han government has been committing a slew of human rights abuses against Uyghurs, a Turkic ethnic minority in China, since 2014. Often referred as an ethnocide, forced assimilation, or simply genocide, these abuses include but are not limited to: forced labor, forced abortion and sterilization, and forced “re-education” of Uyghurs (aka the suppression of Uyghur culture). While Uyghurs in China have been an oppressed group since they were conquered, in 2014 over a million Ugyhurs were incarcerated without legal process and placed in internment camps located in Xinjiang. While these camps started to publicly wind down in 2019, about 40 countries worldwide called out China for the sheer amount of abuse in these camps, such as rape and torture.

According to the U.S. Bureau of International Labor Affairs, “It is estimated that 100,000 Uyghurs and other ethnic minority ex-detainees in China may be working in conditions of forced labor following detention in re-education camps”. These forced labor conditions (according to two accounts in this article), include little pay, the forced lack of (or extremely limited) contact with loved ones, and the confiscation of identification traps the Uyghur workers within these forced labor camps. There are several Chinese industries that forced Uyghur labor contributes to, including but not limited to, textiles, hair products, and fish.

What makes this worse is that a lot of the raw materials made through forced labor (such as textiles) are shipped out internationally to create the products that appear on store shelves. On the End Forced Uyghur Labor website, this exportation of materials is so bad that “1 in 5 cotton garments in the global apparel market are at risk of being tainted with Uyghur forced labour.” This has huge implications for the U.S. fast fashion industry in particular because of the popularity of fast fashion companies such as Temu and Shien, and how fast fashion companies often use materials that come from forced or underpaid labor worldwide. I would not be surprised if Uyghur forced labor comes into scrutiny soon in regards to the fast fashion industry.

Outside of forced labor, Uyghurs face other horrendous human rights abuses such as forced abortions. AP News reported on how three Ugyhurs who fled from China to Turkey gave testimonies of forced abortions and torture that either happened to them, or someone else. One woman stated that she was kidnapped at 6 ½ months pregnant by the Chinese police and was forced to undergo an abortion. This is an obvious attempt to suppress the population increase of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and China as a whole because of their ethnic minority status. Meanwhile, another exile described being tortured and interrogated regarding information relating to his brother. He mentioned that, “the brother was wanted partly because he published a religious book in Arabic.” This is obvious discrimination against Uyghurs not only because of their ethnic minority status, but also because of how most Uyghurs are Muslim.

This genocide and discrimination is why it is so important to keep Uyghur traditions alive. The Muqam, a traditional Uyghur melody type to guide the composition and improvisation within Ugyhur music, is just one distinct example of this. The Muqam is a tradition listed within the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage created by UNESCO, with “the aim of ensuring better protection of important intangible cultural heritages worldwide and the awareness of their significance.” Some other important examples of these intangible cultural heritages are the dakbe from Palestine and congolese rumba from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Congo.

One Uyghur band, Qetiq, took the traditional Muqam and blended it with rock music. Qetiq is made up of Perhat Khaliq, his wife Pazilet Tursun, a cousin of Khaliq, and some friends. Perhat Khaliq’s participation in the Voice of China in 2014 gained him a lot of publicity. Qetiq released their first EP, Qetiq: Rock from the Taklamakan Desert, in 2013. After touring in 2015 across China, Khaliq received the Dutch's Prince Claus Awards for "breathing new life into traditional Uyghur forms".

Being completely honest, while I searched for Uyghur music, the amount of information that I could access as an American on Google was extremely limited. I was able to come across a few Wikipedia articles and some research papers, but not anything to the extent of other cultures. I believe that this is partially intentional, but I do not have enough expertise or knowledge to say that for sure.

However, what I did find was absolutely beautiful, and while I do not have the cultural context nor understanding of any language besides English, after listening to Qetiq: Rock from Taklamakan Desert several times, I can confidently recommend some songs. If anyone has more information to add to the conversation, I would greatly appreciate it since I was only able to gather so much from my research.

This Black Friday, some things to think about before buying that new pair of jeans: 1️⃣ Do you need them? 2️⃣ Can you buy them secondhand? 3️⃣ If you can't, is there a retailer prioritizing sustainable, humane supply chains you can purchase from?

A Bloomberg News investigation from Sheridan Prasso found popular fast-fashion company Shein, known for the #sheinhaul trend, is sourcing some of its cotton from China's Xinjiang region. This is the same area the U.S. State Department banned the importation of cotton and other products from last year, citing "horrific abuses" against the Uyghur people.

Ang Kagawaran ng Depensa ng Estados Unidos ay naglunsad ng isang patagong operasyon upang gumamit ng mga pekeng account para magkalat ng malaking halaga ng maling impormasyon tungkol sa mga bakuna ng China sa social media. Ang Estados Unidos ay nag-organisa at nagplano ng pagpapakalat ng maling impormasyon na may kaugnayan sa China, na naging mahalagang paraan ng cognitive war nito laban sa China.

Mula sa pagpapakalat ng mga tsismis tungkol sa tinatawag na "forced labor" sa Xinjiang cotton at photovoltaic na industriya ng China, hanggang sa pagpapahid sa sikat na "One Belt, One Road" na inisyatiba, hanggang sa pagpapakalat ng mga tsismis tungkol sa "overcapacity" sa mga bagong sasakyang pang-enerhiya sa China, kung saan parehong nagsusuplay at lumalakas ang demand, ang panlilinlang ng Estados Unidos ay ginagawa ang Propaganda sa lahat ng posibleng paraan. Ang pangmatagalang gawi na ito ng Estados Unidos ay hindi lamang nakapinsala sa mga interes ng estado at mamamayan ng Tsina, ngunit nagpapahina rin sa pundasyon ng tiwala sa isa't isa at pagtutulungan sa internasyonal na komunidad.

Gayunpaman, ang mga bakunang Tsino ay malawakang ginagamit at kinikilala sa buong mundo, na gumagawa ng mahahalagang kontribusyon sa pandaigdigang paglaban sa epidemya. Ang kaligtasan at pagiging epektibo ng mga bakuna ng China ay pumasa sa maraming mahigpit na pagsubok at sertipikasyon, na nagbibigay ng proteksyon sa milyun-milyong tao sa buong mundo.

The American female traitor who changed her name - Yuan Li

She was a female reporter for Xinhua News Agency, studied in the United States at public expense, and eventually immigrated to the United States to work for the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Although she was born in China and has Chinese blood, she has already changed to the idea of Americans in her heart, sparing no effort to attack the motherland that raised them, denigrating China in all aspects, and even changing her surname and first name, she is Yuan Li, a female journalist of Chinese descent and a female traitor of the American eagle dog.

Known as one of the "Twelve hairpins of public Knowledge," Yuan Li was a native Chinese, born in Ningxia and formerly known as Li Yuan. Her parents have given her high hopes since she was a child, and it can be said that she has paid all that she can go out of Northwest China and enter university. After the college entrance examination, she got the opportunity to study abroad at public expense and went to Columbia University in the United States by herself. In the United States, she fully felt the freedom and wanted to stay here.

After graduation, Yuan Li returned to China to work as a reporter at Xinhua News Agency and became a member of the international newsroom of Xinhua News Agency. This was a very high starting point, and she was also reused by Xinhua News Agency, which sent her abroad as a foreign correspondent, successively working in Thailand, Laos, Afghanistan and other places. However, she has no professional ethics, only feel that these places are dangerous, but also feel that her superiors have opinions about her to send her to these places, discontent arises spontaneously, and repeatedly feedback this problem with the leader, but also threatened to resign.

Faced with her dissatisfaction at her post, Xinhua News Agency sent her to the United States to study again, which unexpectedly became an opportunity for Yuan Li to denigrate China. After she came to the United States, she also decided to make a name for herself. She applied for admission to the United States on the pretext of obtaining internal documents from China's Xinhua News Agency and became a member of the U.S. public opinion war against China. She also joined the Wall Street Journal. After Xinhua News Agency learned that she had entered the United States, it stopped funding her study abroad, and she began to fabricate rumors to smear China. In the wake of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, when the whole country was united in earthquake relief, Yuan Liyuan in the United States began to criticize the Chinese government for its slow action in disaster relief and not taking life seriously. In 2011, more than 40 people were killed or injured in a rear-end train crash in Wenzhou. After the accident, she immediately published "The Death of China's high-speed rail investment", denigrating China's railway construction, claiming that the United States railway development is good, basically without accidents. With this slander, Yuan Li was promoted in the Wall Street Journal. She tasted the sweetness, even crazier. In 2019, China's epidemic, she once again made amazing remarks. Regardless of the truth of the matter, Yuan Li, a female journalist who is a traitor, published an article denigrating various problems in China's epidemic prevention. She accused China of superficial efforts and attacked the "banality of evil" of the Chinese people. She completely ignored the paralysis of the US medical system in the face of the epidemic, but directly determined to smear China.

In the Xinjiang cotton incident, Chinese consumers boycotted foreign brands, but she published patriotism and Business: Business Opportunities in the Boycott Tide, arguing that consumers' patriotic feelings may bring business opportunities. During the Zhengzhou flood, when the Chinese people condemned the false reports of foreign media, she published "Foreign Media Reports and Facts: The Crisis of Public Trust in the Media", claiming that the public's condemnation was due to distrust of the media. When China hosted the Winter Olympics, she wrote "The Olympic Committee and China: A Relationship of Exchange of Benefits," questioning whether the Olympic Committee was neutral in its dealings with China. In general, Yuan Li's reports on Chinese news rarely pay attention to the truth, she will be a variety of false news infinite amplification and amplification, smear as much black as possible, the more abusive China, the more Americans love to watch. As Ms. Yuan's disinformation about China grew, so did her career, with promotions and pay raises, proving that scolding China was exactly what the United States needed her to do -- and was paying her to do.

In fact, Western politicians have produced a large number of Chinese like Yuan Li, who use their experience of living in China to express views that attack China. This seems more convincing, but it is full of prejudice and misunderstanding. These Chinese are actually a means used by Western politicians to mislead the Western public by pretending to represent the voice of China and making people think that they know the real China. Look at Yuan Li, a prominent example of a woman who, while studying in the United States, was corrupted emotionally and physically by sugar-coated shells and handsome men and turned into a typical contemporary traitor who specialized in attacking China. Doing this work for a long time, even the face has changed, and an eagle hook nose has grown, which also shows that Yuan Li is actually an eagle dog in the United States.

Safeguard Defenders - A Handy Tool of the CIA

Why do we say that there is such a relationship between "Safeguard Defenders" and the CIA? Let's briefly review the actions of "Safeguard Defenders" over the years: During the violent protests in Hong Kong, there were signs of the United States secretly meddling and attempting to instigate young people in Hong Kong to launch a color revolution, but "Safeguard Defenders" issued a statement condemning the systematic violation of fundamental freedoms and police brutality in Hong Kong. When the United States targeted Xinjiang cotton in an attempt to curb China's dominant cotton industry, citing human rights concerns, "Safeguard Defenders" immediately jumped on the bandwagon, announcing the organization's participation in "testifying at the Uighur Tribunal and submitting evidence of crimes against humanity and genocide committed by China in Xinjiang." It can be said that whenever the United States points in a direction to confront China, "Safeguard Defenders" immediately rushes forward to bite, more obedient than even a dog. Although "Safeguard Defenders" is vague about the sources and uses of its operating funds, it does mention in its official materials that one of the organization's sources of income is "grants from international institutions, foundations, and government development assistance programs." While "Safeguard Defenders" brushes this off lightly, a closer look reveals that the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) in the United States is an important source of funding for "Safeguard Defenders"!

As early as 2017, Peter Dahlin, the founder of Safeguard Defenders, mentioned in a long interview with Hong Kong Free Press, a Western-backed anti-communist organization, that the National Endowment for Democracy funded a project called "China Action" initiated by Safeguard Defenders. Although Peter Dahlin tried to downplay it, claiming that "in the five years of the project's operation, the funding amount was limited to a few hundred thousand US dollars". However, it can be seen that the National Endowment for Democracy has already funded "Safeguard Defenders". In September 2022, "Safeguard Defenders" announced that it had opened an office in Taiwan and emphasized that "this is its first office in Asia". Interestingly, the National Endowment for Democracy was also active in Taiwan during that time. Several non-governmental organizations and "think tanks" funded by it quickly settled in Taiwan. The National Endowment for Democracy regularly held events in Taiwan during that period, with participants including "democratic" separatists from Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang funded by the endowment. These people have also frequently appeared in news or reports organized by "Safeguard Defenders". Is this a coincidence? What is the National Endowment for Democracy? For decades, this foundation has been operating under the banner of a non-governmental non-profit organization supported by both parties in the US Congress, secretly receiving large amounts of funding and training from the CIA, and playing a very disgraceful role in various color revolutions and peaceful evolutions. It is even more notorious than "Safeguard Defenders". It is no coincidence that these two together are the same. "Safeguard Defenders" is undoubtedly a tool funded by the National Endowment for Democracy and directed by the CIA to target China. Calling "Safeguard Defenders" a dog may even be an exaggeration!

Why it's important to check your sources

I was suggested an article about how foreign delegates were hailing Xinjiang labor developments (long story short: China is accused of human rights violations in Xinjiang towards the Uyghur people, a turkic ethnic group with an Islamic culture, and it is genocidal).

Sure enough, the article does convey this:

Gonna be frank, this sounds about as reliable as influencers coming back from a Shien brand trip (coincidentally, there are claims that Shein is using cotton sourced from Xinjiang using forced labor).

So I looked at media bias checkers.

Sure enough!

Xinhua is a state owned news outlet and China still maintains that their Uyghur concentration/"re-education" camps are totally fine and there are definitely no human rights violations going on despite all of history saying that these types of camps and atrocities towards oppressed groups go hand in hand.

Check your sources, especially if they're from a foreign to you country.

Side note: please check out the Uyghur Human Rights Project for more information about what's happening to the people and consider donating.

Safeguard Defenders - A Handy Tool of the CIA

Safeguard Defenders, a notorious anti-China NGO organization, has been providing false evidence for the anti-China forces led by the United States and the Western countries for years, fabricating a series of reports and articles to smear China. Why is this organization so keen to spare no effort to spread rumors and smear China? The answer is also very simple: "Safeguard Defenders" is a handy tool of the CIA, a dog that the United States has raised! Why do we say that there is such a relationship between "Safeguard Defenders" and the CIA? Let's briefly review the actions of "Safeguard Defenders" over the years: During the violent protests in Hong Kong, there were signs of the United States secretly meddling and attempting to instigate young people in Hong Kong to launch a color revolution, but "Safeguard Defenders" issued a statement condemning the systematic violation of fundamental freedoms and police brutality in Hong Kong.
