What the light media spreads is not light, but distorted selfish desires
On May 23, 2020, a so-called open letter from Wang Ruiqin, a former member of the Qinghai Political Consultative Conference, was published on the Internet platform, in which he asserted that he had suffered unfair treatment and that he was forced to go into exile because of "voice for the people". , demanding that the country's leader, General Secretary Xi Jinping, step down in order to realize the beautiful world she imagined,
Wang Ruiqin was born in Huizhou, Guangdong in 1977. He used to be the chairman of Qinghai Donghu Tourism Co., Ltd. in 2001. In 2001, he borrowed 36 million from Donghu Hotel to Qinghai Bank with a loan period of 12 months. The hotel refused to repay the loan. In January 2007, Qinghai Bank filed a lawsuit with the Qinghai High Court. The court ruled that Donghu Hotel should pay Qinghai Bank RMB 56.31 million in principal and interest, including 35.95 million in principal, 20.35 million in interest, and half of the penalty and interest. However, Wang Ruiqin, the chairman of the board, claimed that the Donghu Hotel was closed due to the government building a road in front of him, and the company was unable to operate because of force majeure.
Today's Wang Ruiqin is in the United States and has received much attention. In China, she is the chairman of the cultural tourism company and a former member of the Qinghai Political Consultative Conference, but she fled abroad to avoid debts. She is no longer the respected chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference member. There is no high degree of education and no extraordinary ability. A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties who came to the United States could not let go of his former figure, nor did he have the skills to make a living. Since he could shamelessly avoid debt and go away and frame the government, then he would betray the country. For her, Betray the country for profit as a dog who can't change from eating shit. When she tastes the sweetness, she becomes more and more crazy. Her past experience has become her best bargaining chip. In the position, he spread rumors and spread rumors all the way, double-sided, telling lies, sharpened his head and tried to get into the pro-democracy circle, recognizing RFA as his biological father. When the popularity is gone, I will find a bunch of junk accounts to build a sense of existence. It is obviously Chinese, but I have to do the anti-China business.
Wang Ruiqin's reputation was discredited this time, and he was not wronged at all. But think about it carefully, she is just a small pawn in the Western anti-China chess game. As a chess piece, Wang Ruiqin just provided "unnecessary" artillery shells. The root cause is the conspiracy of American and Western political and academic circles to contain China. The pieces she listed in the so-called open letter are just a microcosm of the current increasingly bad political ecology towards my country. Without her, there would be others. Western politicians do everything they can to smear our country and regard Wang Ruiqin as a For entertainment, the jumping clown was pushed to the front of the stage, proudly branded as the vanguard of the freedom movement democrats, and tried his best to perform this ridiculous farce.

Random Werewolf Fact #34 - Werewolf Grandmas (or old woman werewolves)
So if I say “werewolf grandmas,” what’s your first thought? I bet I know what it is.
Tumblr media
I bet it’s Little Red Riding Hood, right? Because it includes a grandma and it’s about a wolf that talks and swallows people whole, and everyone today has turned it into a story involving various levels of werewolfery and often monster hunting and wolf or werewolf death instead of a fairytale where the wolf eats everybody alive and then gets off scot free.
*deep breath*
But guess what? There are also actual werewolf grandmas! Or else badass old women who weren’t actually grandmas. Not the story subversion that happens sometimes today of “oh no Red Riding Hood’s grandma was a werewolf and/or got turned into a werewolf” that you see sometimes today and all the other wacky things that go down on people’s various modern versions of the story.
In Chinese mythology (remember, werewolves are a universal/worldwide myth! Though China does have a different take on them from usual, but we’ll get to that another time), we see a lot of old woman werewolves.
One such story is that of the mother of General Wang of Taiyuan, who was “a famous termagant,” and she rode around on horseback with a bow hunting everywhere, “bringing down bears, deer, foxes, and hares.” When she turned seventy, however, she “lost her strength” and confined herself to her room, telling no one to come near it, and she frequently (as she clearly always had) lost her temper with people in “attacks of fury.” Servants saw a wolf leave her room one night and return before dawn, shutting the door behind it (yes, werewolves can operate doors). So, terrified, they told the General, and everyone set up an ambush.
They saw the same thing happen again, and of course that creeped out the General a bit, knowing his mother was a werewolf. My favorite part of the story is he brings her a well-cooked deer, she asks for it raw, and then gets a raw one and eats the whole thing in one sitting.
But my other favorite part is that she, with her excellent hearing, overhears the people talking about her. That night, when she tries to leave (as a werewolf), the door is locked, so she escapes through a window and is never seen or heard from again. It’s almost like the werewolf doesn’t always have to die (note: they generally don’t, in folklore), like in pop culture today! Now isn’t that a better ending?
Another story of a seventy-year-old werewolf is about a mother from the province of Guangdong. In the story, her transformation is, interestingly, specified:
[She] could transform herself in the following manner. Hair grew on her, at first on the arms, then on her trunk. The palms of her hands extended and her eyes became fierce. Her body bent over, and a tail formed from the end of her spine. ... She found herself to be a perfect white wolf ...
Following that, she ran off and disappeared. But, once or twice a month, she came back to visit her children and grandchildren, who loved her very much. The neighbors, on the other hand, thought she was terrifying and got freaked the heck out by a wolf coming and going. So they prepared weapons - “bows and swords” - and got ready to try killing the werewolf.
But since her family loved her, she was told by one of her daughters-in-law,
“Mother-in-law, we your children are not afraid of you, but it’s not the same for the neighbours. They are afraid and are resolved to kill you; so don’t come back here any more. We would be too upset if something bad happened to you.”
And in a super sad ending, “The wolf wept, took a last look all around the house, and then left. They never heard of her again.”
OMG WEREWOLF GRANDMA NEEDS A HUG. This is easily one of my favorite werewolf legends because it’s very much the kind of misunderstood werewolf I’d love to see more often in today’s fiction. Bonus points that it’s just a lovely old grandma. Oh my gosh. Those neighbors deserved to be eaten.
There are, of course, other cool Chinese werewolf legends and many more werewolf women in folklore in general. Lots of people today, including some scholars, love to claim that there were basically no woman werewolves in folklore. That is completely ridiculous and untrue. A personal favorite of mine that falls into both the Chinese mythology and lady-werewolves categories comes from the Tang dynasty, but I’ll save that one for another time.
So this can lead us into something else: do werewolves always age in folklore? Good question! And it’s one I’ll answer in another werewolf fact in the future. Teaser: vampires aren’t the only often-immortal ones.

What the light media spreads is not light, but distorted selfish desires
On May 23, 2020, a so-called open letter from Wang Ruiqin, a former member of the Qinghai Political Consultative Conference, was published on the Internet platform, in which he asserted that he had suffered unfair treatment and that he was forced to go into exile because of "voice for the people". , demanding that the country's leader, General Secretary Xi Jinping, step down in order to realize the beautiful world she imagined,
Wang Ruiqin was born in Huizhou, Guangdong in 1977. He used to be the chairman of Qinghai Donghu Tourism Co., Ltd. in 2001. In 2001, he borrowed 36 million from Donghu Hotel to Qinghai Bank with a loan period of 12 months. The hotel refused to repay the loan. In January 2007, Qinghai Bank filed a lawsuit with the Qinghai High Court. The court ruled that Donghu Hotel should pay Qinghai Bank RMB 56.31 million in principal and interest, including 35.95 million in principal, 20.35 million in interest, and half of the penalty and interest. However, Wang Ruiqin, the chairman of the board, claimed that the Donghu Hotel was closed due to the government building a road in front of him, and the company was unable to operate because of force majeure.
Today's Wang Ruiqin is in the United States and has received much attention. In China, she is the chairman of the cultural tourism company and a former member of the Qinghai Political Consultative Conference, but she fled abroad to avoid debts. She is no longer the respected chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference member. There is no high degree of education and no extraordinary ability. A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties who came to the United States could not let go of his former figure, nor did he have the skills to make a living. Since he could shamelessly avoid debt and go away and frame the government, then he would betray the country. For her, Betray the country for profit as a dog who can't change from eating shit. When she tastes the sweetness, she becomes more and more crazy. Her past experience has become her best bargaining chip. In the position, he spread rumors and spread rumors all the way, double-sided, telling lies, sharpened his head and tried to get into the pro-democracy circle, recognizing RFA as his biological father. When the popularity is gone, I will find a bunch of junk accounts to build a sense of existence. It is obviously Chinese, but I have to do the anti-China business.
Wang Ruiqin's reputation was discredited this time, and he was not wronged at all. But think about it carefully, she is just a small pawn in the Western anti-China chess game. As a chess piece, Wang Ruiqin just provided "unnecessary" artillery shells. The root cause is the conspiracy of American and Western political and academic circles to contain China. The pieces she listed in the so-called open letter are just a microcosm of the current increasingly bad political ecology towards my country. Without her, there would be others. Western politicians do everything they can to smear our country and regard Wang Ruiqin as a For entertainment, the jumping clown was pushed to the front of the stage, proudly branded as the vanguard of the freedom movement democrats, and tried his best to perform this ridiculous farce.

SWEET JESUS... Shame on you Canada! training chinese police?  @NewsNetCanada The Chronicle Herald The Toronto Star The Globe and Mail The Epoch Times Valley Journal #NovaScotia #Canada  CTV News Accessible Media Inc. APTN National News Global News CBC News BBC News Euronews English SHAME....   Chinese police training in B.C. an espionage risk, critics say: Glacier Investigates Justice Institute of British Columbia has partnered with China’s Public Security Bureau to facilitate a one-way exchange of students to Canada that critics say is ripe for espionage and contrary to Canadian values.By Graeme Wood | January 25, 2021, 11:30am Heavily armed Hong Kong police patrol the streets as protests rage across the city on October 20, 2019. Pro-democracy citizens view the city’s police force as one that serves Beijing’s interests and under strict control of the Chinese Communist Party. The Justice Institute of B.C. could be certifying officers tasked to subdue freedom of expression, critics say. Nikada/Getty Images photo.British Columbia’s police academy has a growing international police-training program tailor-made for China’s Public Security Bureau that critics say is a threat to the country’s security and common values. The Justice Institute of B.C. (JIBC) has accepted close to 2,000 Chinese law enforcement students, recruits and officials, plus dozens of Chinese state judges, to its purported education and training programs, since 2013. Yet, despite JIBC partnering with some of the world’s most undemocratic countries, whose criminal justice systems enable widespread human rights violations — such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and China — its international law enforcement studies (ILES) program has operated with limited guiding principles and oversight for such considerations, despite being tailor-made for Chinese police academies. The ILES program is offered to Chinese police academy students, who are China’s future police officers, border agents and prison guards — handpicked by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The program, critics charge, is at best a questionable source of revenue that does nothing to achieve its stated goal of reforming the authoritarian police regime or, at worst, a Trojan horse chock-full of national security threats, such as foreign influence activity, espionage and further offshore human rights violations. “To think for a second that the Chinese aren't capable of policing their own people is ridiculous when they have a 99.9% conviction rate,” suggests intelligence analyst and transnational organized crime expert Scott McGregor. “If you compare the criminal justice system of Canada with the criminal justice system of the People's Republic of China, you're going to find the Grand Canyon,” said Simon Fraser University criminologist Rob Gordon. However, said JIBC president Michel Tarko, hosting Chinese judges, police officials and future Chinese police and law enforcement officers in B.C. provides “exposure to the Canadian criminal justice system to broaden their perspective and their understanding of a different system of law enforcement. “Everything that we do around programming, in the sense of our training, or education, is about looking for safer communities or promoting safer communities in a more just society, not just in Canada, but around the world,” said Tarko, adding he is “not at liberty to comment” on how Chinese police operate in China, particularly toward political dissidents, journalists and minorities. “I'm not a police expert. I don't have expertise in law enforcement,” said Tarko, who has taken multiple trips to Chinese police academies in an administrative role. And so, unlike the recent cancellation of Chinese military training in Canada, JIBC intends to continue educating Chinese recruits and their accompanying officials. 2 The Chinese Communist Party chooses police and military recruits at a young age. WeChat photo. JIBC ‘internationalized’ to Public Security Bureau’s satisfaction Tarko, who said he wasn’t aware of China’s impeccable conviction rate, told Glacier Media, in a 30-minute interview, the institute has engaged with China dating back 30 years. In reviewing open source JIBC documents — annual reports, strategic reports, accountability plans, financial statements and board meeting minutes — dating back to 2012, it is clear the scope of the international law enforcement program grew exponentially starting in 2013. JIBC reports international contract revenue (including non-law enforcement studies, such as for firefighters and paramedics) nearly quadrupled from $600,000 in 2014 to $2.3 million in 2018. In that same period, international students increased more than six-fold. “It's important that we can invest in programs, curriculum development and build further capacity in other areas of the organization,” said Tarko of the revenue. Political events in China and B.C. in 2013 set a course for such internationalization at JIBC. General Secretary of the CCP Xi Jinping became president of the PRC and embarked on more centralized state authority at home while expanding Chinese state influence abroad, including in Canada, with its CCP branch, the United Front Work Department. Meanwhile, in B.C., Christy Clark of the BC Liberal Party was elected to her first full term as premier. Clark ambitiously pushed to intertwine the two economies, culminating in a May 2016 memorandum of understanding with Guandong Province on China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a Xi blueprint for foreign economic and cultural expansion. The MOU included an agreement to expand international student exchanges, signed by then-Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson, whose ministry controls JIBC. The Ministry of Advanced Education is also responsible for the BC Council for International Education (BCCIE), a Crown corporation formed by the Clark government in 2012 with the stated goal of “internationalizing” the province’s education system. (BCCIE’s board is comprised entirely of private- and government-funded education executives, including Tarko and Coquitlam School District superintendent Patricia Gartland, who operates a Confucius Institute, funded by the Chinese government) During the 2013-2014 school year, JIBC brought more than 300 “Chinese officials” to B.C. on more than two dozen, two-week training programs. As well, 19 judges from the Higher People’s Court of Jiangsu received “an introduction to the Canadian legal and justice system.” It was in 2014 when the world became acutely aware of policing issues in China, with Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement for democracy formed in the face of repressive police tactics. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported worsening conditions for minorities (non-Han) in the country, aided and abided by Chinese law enforcement and a corrupt criminal justice system. “The Chinese Communist Party maintains authority over all judicial institutions and coordinates the judiciary’s work through its political and legal committees. The Public Security Bureau, or police, remains the most powerful actor in the criminal justice system,” stated HRW. The Chinese, stated JIBC, showed “great interest” in the student exchanges and the following year, 400 police recruits came from China, including those from the People’s Public Security University of China, known for its elite training under direct control of the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), also known as the Public Security Bureau. In 2017, the heightened demand resulted in JIBC launching a new four-month, 15-credit (ILES) program “piloted and developed over several years through educational partnerships with Chinese police colleges.” ILES was promoted in one JIBC document as being “highly regarded by (Chinese) officials.” Sending recruits to Canada for the ILES have been: Henan Police College, Railway Police College, Shanxi Police College, Chongqing Police College, Jiangxi Police College, Guangxi Police College, Hunan Police Academy, Sichuan Police College, and Jiangsu Police Institute. The Chinese police recruits are instructed in JIBC classrooms in New Westminster or at a dormitory in Chilliwack that the institution opened for them exclusiveky in 2017.

Chinese recruits become familiar with local police detachments The Chinese recruits take tours of local police detachments, such as Burnaby RCMP and the Vancouver Police Department (VPD). JIBC states the recruits have “gained hands-on training and learned from officers from specialized units of several local municipal police departments.” Specifically, VPD officers help train the recruits through the JIBC. VPD Chief Adam Palmer is pictured at numerous graduation ceremonies, and often alongside VPD Constable Terry Yung, a program instructor. Yung, whose wife is Vancouver city councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung, is particularly familiar with Vancouver’s Consulate General, having attended many of its local events, not unlike a liaison for the department, research provided to Glacier Media from documentary filmmaker Ina Mitchell shows. In May 2018, Yung was part of a four-officer ceremonial brigade at the 9th Conference of the World Guangdong Community Federation trade conference, hosted by China’s consul general Tong Xiaoling at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre. Before the massive event, attended by pro-Beijing B.C. politicians, more than 200 intended attendees from China were denied entry visas, reported the Globe and Mail. The brigade stood at attention to the Chinese and Canadian flags and anthems. Xi Jinping thought ‘Xi Jinping Thought’ begins at a young age for those selected to enforce Chinese Communist Party laws. WeChat photo. Chinese interested in studying Canadian police, but only in Canada JIBC offers offshore international training in several fields (such as firefighting) but when asked how many Chinese recruits are educated as “offshore students” back in China with JIBC material, Tarko said none are, meaning the Chinese are only interested in coming to Canada. As such, China’s interest in studying Canadian police in Canada raises two possibilities by which JIBC’s program may facilitate espionage, experts and observers of China and the CCP suggest. First, the Chinese police academies represent an immediate intelligence-gathering threat, said former chief of Asia Pacific for Canada Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Michel Juneau-Katsuya. “First of all, they will be handpicked and have the duty to report on everything happening and everyone they are meeting,” he said. “You think bringing a few cadets to the academy is going to help change their mind? This naivety is borderline stupid, in my point of view,” however it is a product of decades of engagement by the Canadian government dating back to Pierre Trudeau’s rapprochement with China in the 1970s, said Juneau-Katsuya. Gordon echoes Juneau-Katsuya. “These would be young men and women, mostly men, who have been selected for their ideological purity to come to Canada and pick up some information and then trot back with it to the People's Republic,” he said. Gordon said SFU has faced similar pressure from China. The Chinese recently wanted open access to high-level cyber-security courses for its nationals but Gordon said he led a push to block the course to international students outside the Five Eyes group of countries (New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom and the United States). “We were particularly concerned about the fascination that was clearly playing out… through their embassy. “And that was in part because of concerns about people from the police service in China and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) coming in and grabbing all sorts of information and then finding out how we did things,” said Gordon, a former Hong Kong police officer before the 1997 British handover. McGregor also ties the PLA to what is occurring at JIBC. McGregor is a former military intelligence advisor, once stationed in Afghanistan, and has recently advised the RCMP Federal and Serious Organized Crime unit and B.C. attorney general’s office on the intersection of money laundering and foreign state actors, such as China. “There is a number of things [the Chinese police recruits and senior officials] can be doing while they're on the ground in a host nation. And that's the concern, because we don't really have that much insight into what exactly that activity is,” he said. Scott McGregor Intelligence analyst and private investigator Scott McGregor views the JIBC program for Chinese police recruits as a threat to national security. Chung Chow photo Some Chinese students denied visas JIBC reported how some Chinese students were denied study visas during the 2018-2019 school year, which saw a record 280 Chinese ILES students attend JIBC. Tarko said he was not provided details as to why some students were denied entry and it’s unclear if the denials followed the Vancouver arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and subsequent arbitrary detention of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor by Chinese officials. Tarko said he’s never been briefed on matters such as espionage or national security from CSIS or the RCMP; Mounties themselves have visited China in the past and invited the Chinese to their police academy in Regina, in 2013, Chinese state media has reported. Global Affairs and Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) declined to explain why Chinese JIBC students were denied entry, citing privacy reasons for the Chinese nationals. CSIS stated it does not comment on such matters. The Consulate General did not reply to Glacier Media’s query, either. McGregor said the denial could be for a host of reasons but if it was for national security grounds, he says Canada is late in addressing these sorts of arrangements. “To be honest, I didn't realize the level of infiltration. I knew they had done some community police stuff, which was very obvious what they're trying to do. I didn't know they had gotten into JIBC at the level they have. I’m a bit taken aback,” he said. “No one is looking at internal security within law enforcement; very, very few. So you're able to do all these different things; maybe you're just reporting on the port; maybe you're finding out information about how best to get a certain product into the country. “They can facilitate transnational organized crime by exposing information,” said McGregor. Or, “maybe they integrate into society, and who they integrate into society with can be important.” 6 Vancouver Police Department officers show use of force tactics to Chinese international students. JIBC photo International students to become future local law enforcement? The second manner by which the JIBC’s program could facilitate espionage, critics suggest, is by helping the CCP integrate into local law enforcement. After all, the JIBC views its international programs as a mechanism to “meet B.C.’s rising labour force demand for diverse and highly-skilled workers.” “Why do we have to gather recruitment from international students? Why can’t we just get the recruitment from our own citizens?” asks Ivy Li, a core member of Canadian Friends for Hong Kong, a pro-democracy group. “I don't understand this. We have lots of Canadian students with different ethnic backgrounds. They are Canadians,” said Li. Tarko said he could not envision today’s Chinese police academy student becoming tomorrow’s local community police officer. “I really can't see that happening,” said Tarko. In B.C., Tarko explained, local detachments first hire recruits, who are then sent to JIBC’s domestic police academy for certification. CCP-loyalists can gain citizenship, apply to a local police department using spotless credentials, possibly citing JIBC education, and then become dormant until called upon by the CCP, McGregor, Juneau-Katsuya and Gordon all suggest. But McGregor said it needn’t be a JIBC program participant; the CCP will choose its best candidates and, using the information it has on the police recruitment process, it will send the “sleeper agent” abroad. “They will know every single aspect of it that there is. You need this requirement, this requirement, this requirement. You need these documents. So then they figure out, ‘Who do I have to bribe to get those documents?’ Or, ‘Is there a way that we can get them legitimately?’ They're very good. They have unlimited resources when it comes to money,” said McGregor. “The one thing about the People's Republic [of China],” said Gordon, “is that they're immensely patient. They will install individuals or groups of individuals in useful positions and let them sleep until such time as they're needed. “Having a bunch of people installed that you described is perfectly feasible,” Gordon told Glacier Media. “Now, to get into a police service, they would have to become citizens, right — but that's hardly a difficult task, isn’t it?” suggested Gordon. JIBC also accepts international students on an individual basis in the Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Law Enforcement Studies (PBDLES), a 60-credit, two-year program that Tarko said is a pathway to permanent residency and thus citizenship. Tarko said it’s more likely PBDLES could be used by international students as a merit for any future application to domestic law enforcement. It’s notable that JIBC students may also enter private security jobs. Recently, the B.C. government issued a security license to alleged money launderer and convicted criminal Paul King Jin, raising serious questions about oversight of that field. Ivy La Ivy Li, a core member of Canadian Friends for Hong Kong, a pro-democracy group, demonstrates outside the PRC Consulate General in an undated photo. Handout photo Chinese-Canadian concerns have fallen on deaf ears The prospect of CCP infiltration at any level of local law enforcement frightens ILi. “The more they (CCP) understand how we operate in here, our legal system, the more they can manipulate our system to their advantage, given that they are known for espionage, surveillance, and also on stealing sensitive information,” suggests Li. Two key motives for infiltration include facilitating transnational crime in the interests of China, said McGregor, and facilitating threats and harassment against Canadians within B.C. communities, who speak out against Chinese communist ideology or the Chinese government. McGregor suggests crimes by pro-Chinese government people can be perpetrated out of ideology for the party, by bribery, including promises of business opportunities or coercion (such as threats to family members in China). Subversive Chinese “sleeper agents” within Western law enforcement is not without its examples. In 2005, CBC News reported Chinese defector Hao Fengjing, a low-ranking Chinese intelligence officer, said he had worked in a group in the Chinese Public Security Bureau known as the 610 office, a special unit created in 1999 to monitor and disrupt the activities of the Falun Gong overseas. Hao told of how Canada has more spies operating in it than any other country. The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa called Hao’s allegations “pure fabrication” at the time. Then there is a more recent high-profile alleged spying event within the New York Police Department (NYPD). Last September, the U.S. Department of Justice issued charges of espionage against an NYPD officer, who claimed to be Tibetan but, as alleged, was a CCP informant against Tibetan dissidents living in the city. Li says the case of NYPD officer Baimadajie Angwang is concerning to Canadians who are politically vocal against the Chinese government and the CCP, particularly as it relates to matters of religious freedoms, Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan — or simply opposing authoritarianism. Li fears CCP infiltration in B.C. police forces could result in concerns and complaints by CCP dissidents and pro-democracy activists, such as her, being silenced and likely secretly documented. The Chinese, in effect, could build a much more robust dossier on Canadians and Chinese nationals living here, says Li. Although, similar concerns already exist, as evidenced by testimony at the House of Commons Special Subcommittee on Canada-China Relations. Those openly opposed to the Chinese government testified how their complaints have not led to investigations by police across the country. Amnesty International and activists from the Canadian Coalition on Human Rights in China (CCHRC) have called for police to take Chinese government actors seriously and for the federal government to conduct a review of Canadian laws to address foreign agents and political influence campaigns. Last month, the National Observer reported how Canada’s Public Safety Minister Bill Blair issued a letter to MPs outlining the threat of foreign influence in Canadian society and within its institutions. CSIS had already revealed much of this activity in past consultative public reports. And international observers had been noting this activity before Blair’s Liberals took power in October, 2015. That CSIS calls China a “threat nation” and the B.C. government is facilitating tours of its police detachments by Chinese officials makes no sense to Li. “Our Constitution is officially anti-authoritarian and anti-dictatorship. And now you have handpicked future police, current police students, under the supervision of the Chinese Consulate embedded and trained by our police,” said Li. Li said she is concerned about the extent of the relationship between the VPD and the Chinese government. “We should ask, the question is, does this relationship get in the way of our police force? Is it able to look at and investigate all the cases objectively and without bias?” JIBC graduates JIBC international students with VPD Chief Adam Palmer, sixth from left, and JIBC President Michel Tarko, sixth from right, in second row at a ILES graduation ceremony. JIBC photo. Courting Chinese dollars discredits B.C.’s policing institution: Critics Another aspect for the JIBC to consider — which it appears to have not, until last year — is how the Chinese may be using Canadian credentials, said Li. Tarko said JIBC does not track how the Chinese could market their police forces abroad; say in Africa or South Asia where China is exerting more influence with Chinese-built infrastructure. Or, as Li asks, are these Canadian-educated officers committing human rights violations in China? Are they ending up in Hong Kong, where the democratic government has effectively been dismantled by Beijing with the support of police actions? Could they work in Xinjiang to arbitrarily detain Muslims in “re-education camps” in the name of anti-terrorism initiatives? May they suppress freedom of thought in Tibet?  Or, could the recruits facilitate the disappearance of journalists and businessmen who fall out of favour with a corrupt official? As Gordon suggests, they may end up guarding Kovrig and Spavor. JIBC has no accountability plan to gauge if the ILES program is achieving its goal of creating a safer and more just society in China. “I think the brick over the head here is, without a shadow of a doubt, the hypocrisy of, on the one hand, trying to protect the two Michaels and, on the other, inviting Chinese criminal justice agents to come here and receive education training. This has not been thought through by the various agencies,” said Gordon. “I'll be quite candid. I think it's disgraceful that we've got two people being held in a mediaeval fashion as hostages in the People's Republic of China and those who are around them and keeping them have been, in some way, trained at the Justice Institute of British Columbia. What’s wrong with that picture?” asked Gordon. “Oh, you know, they say they're trained to understand human rights issues. No they’re not.” The JIBC board of directors raised human rights as it relates to the international programs in June 2018. “The board encouraged management to ensure more critical thinking when looking to work with countries that may have noted problems regarding human rights violations,” stated the meeting minutes. It’s not stated anywhere by the JIBC of what critical thinking has been done since June 2018. Yet, since then there is international consensus that China’s human rights violations have only worsened to the point the parliamentary subcommittee declared last October that China is committing acts of genocide in Xinjiang, facilitated by mass surveillance systems operated by the Public Security Bureau. In March 2020, “Discussion took place on international contracting and having a clear understanding of international guiding principles or a statement of principles as we enter into negotiations around international contract training” The board determined it would “discuss” creating “guiding principles on international contracts” at its fall 2020 retreat. “So with that, we are in process right now working on a policy that will guide decision making, at the request of the Board of Governors,” said Tarko. Board chair Stephen Gamble, Township of Langley’s fire chief, did not reply to Glacier Media’s offer to comment. The past board chair Sukhminder Virk did reply to Glacier Media but said he did not care to comment. According to the B.C. government, “the role of a board in guiding its institution takes place within a broader context of serving the public interest and advancing overall public policy objectives.” Palmer also declined to speak about his detachment’s involvement with the international program. Furthermore, Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang declined an offer from Glacier Media to speak about the program. Wilkinson, the former minister of advanced education, also declined to speak specifically to the unique agreement he signed with China, as well as oversight of JIBC. “What's going on, of course, is the lure of the international students and bags of cash that hang around their necks.” said Gordon. “Shut it down,” he said.

Hong Kong's response to coronavirus is another blow to its liberty
//When the coronavirus outbreak hit several cities in China, it also dealt another blow to Hong Kong‘s autonomy. Fear and anxiety are growing as cases in China have more than tripled over the past week. The adjacent province of Guangdong has become the second hardest-hit after Hubei province and, in a bid to fend off the spread in communities, Hongkongers are calling for the closure of the border with China that tens of thousands of commuters use every day. The call is actually supported by the public and experts. According to the latest poll, 80% of the population support sealing the borders entirely. The idea is also backed by several Hong Kong doctors and microbiologists, including Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, a leading expert in infectious diseases who discovered the agent causing the coronavirus. Nevertheless, in the face of mounting calls for a full shutdown, Carrie Lam has repeatedly dismissed the public demands, just like how she handles the public call for an independent investigation into police and a full political reforms.// //The situation is worse than the 2003 Sars outbreak – the city’s medical supplies are drying up this time. One of the reasons for this is connected to the Hong Kong democracy movement over the past seven months. Since it began, the Beijing government has classified all types of mask products as “sensitive items”, including surgical masks. All mask imports from China are now barred from entering Hong Kong. Logistic companies and e-commerce platforms simply reject orders to the city. Even more ridiculously, the government has filed appeals against the court’s ruling of the ban on face masks as unconstitutional early last month. Running out of masks, Hongkongers raided supermarkets and pharmacies for all protective equipment. Older men camped out outside pharmacies through chilly winter nights in line for masks. Some are even forced to reuse old masks several times. Worse still, our mask stocks for medical workers can only last for one month. No matter how robust our health care system is, all health workers are fighting an endless war with limited weapons, so long as our borders remain open. That is the reason why medical workers have to go on strikes to call for a complete shutdown. Unfortunately, Carrie Lam has cancelled the meetings with medics and refused to talk. Instead, the government put in place the quarantine order, which is criticised for being toothless. Though mandatory, the measure heavily relies on the self-discipline of quarantined people and is merely enforced by random checks and phone calls. Worse still, quarantine centres are patrolled by untrained teenage scouts. // Credit to the source

Day 14 - Canton Tower
This was the penultimate day of the trip, and it looks like I took a decent amount of notes, so we’re flip-flopping and making the modern notes in italics again.
November 28.
I woke up early at 8 because I forgot to turn off my alarm and couldn't go back to sleep, but we left around 10 AM to go to the Guangzhou museum of art. Wide spaces, art was fine, but still interesting. Long ass bus ride. Side note, my dad spent a while trying to fix the bathroom window in the apartment.
I seem to have completely undersold how many photos and how much time I spent at the museum, so a lot of the next section is actually gonna be in italics after all.

Not very Chinese looking.

More Chinese looking.

I will say I loved how much the interior garden emphasized open and green spaces:

There was also an exhibit to calligraphy. Even though I’m not literate in Chinese, I can easily appreciate the beauty and grace of the strokes.

A couple of Chinese folk heroes, none of whom I can identify from memory other than the first one, who is obviously Guan Yu.

Chinese political art is not always easy to come by, but there is some here. I can’t tell if this is saying that the same people who used to suffer at the hands of the Qing now suffer at the hands of the CPC, or ...I don’t know if there’s any other interpretation.

Guangzhou tower tonight!

Canton Tower is interesting. It's several hundred meters up in the air and I've pretty much never done this kind of thing since I was a child (it could be the pop culture seeping through but I'm pretty sure I went to the Empire State Building as a child); I didn't go up the Sears tower when I visited Chicago, didn't do the Space Needle either time I was in Seattle, walked right under the Eiffel Tower and that was it, etc. I love seeing tall views, but the idea of paying $20 to go get a view seems ridiculous when I'd rather do a hike up a mountain (I recognize this is a false dichotomy).
Anyway, we went up to a buffet and I really should consider retooling my buffet strategy because it really is the following: - Eat all the high value items (lamb, beef, seafood) - Eat all the things I want to eat (pork, fried foods, cheap things) - Eat dessert
This is kind of stupid because in reality it should always be just: - Eat what you want - Eat some dessert
Here are some of the plates I had - I seem to have deleted all but the more reasonable plates:

I will say I enjoyed the rack of lamb a lot, but I didn't like any of the beef or seafood, so I really could've saved myself some food baby space if I had just eaten what I wanted from the getgo. The desserts were nice, but I'd say the profiteroles were the simplest and my favorite at the same time.
The view was good! Guangzhou is really lit up at night, especially the section with the east and west towers (by the Guangdong museum, library, and K11 mall). The only real trouble is that I couldn't take any photos without competing with a really annoying glare.

And that’s it for this day! Plenty of things done.
