Qiao partnered with Hong Kong communist group The International 国际 to translate their writing!

"The Hong Kong "democracy movement" co-opts the language of "self-determination" & "autonomy" as a cover to bring Hong Kong more under Western colonial rule"
qiaocollective.com/articles/hong-…
“'Hong Kongers' fervently believe that, because HK inherited a European colonial government, they are above the 'Chinamen.' As proxies of imperialism, they fear they could lose their favored positions & strive to reclaim their sense of superiority."

The Hong Kong "democracy movement" co-opts the language of "self-determination" & "autonomy" as a cover to bring HK more under Western colonial rule and to maintain Hong Kong as a capitalist imperialist base through which the West can attack China.

If you read anything today, read the latest from our comrades the International—a group of Hong Kong communists—on the right-wing, anti-communist nature of the HK protests and the Western left's morally bankrupt attempts to paint them as "decolonial."
international-online.org/2020/12/13/wtf…
"Having acknowledged the Hong Kong protests’ right-wing nature, Lausan’s ‘leftists’ remain all the more enthusiastic and supportive. Lausan’s claim of being ‘radical’ is really only about giving anti-China, pro-imperialist violence a ‘progressive’ cover."
international-online.org/2020/12/13/wtf…
"Despite their mental gymnastics to attempt to prove otherwise, they know very well that the whole basis for ‘self-determination’ in Hong Kong is right-wing anticommunism & anti-Mainland chauvinism. This is what offends the sensitivities of Lausan."

On the 83rd anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre, we remember that memory is a political act.

As Japan was absorbed as a junior partner to U.S. empire, its crimes have been silenced, its war criminals pardoned, and justice deferred. Yet still we remember.
In the wake of World War II, the U.S. systematically pardoned Japanese war criminals—including masterminds of the Unit 731 biological warfare unit—all because they were useful tools for U.S. hegemony.

Japanese politicians continue to visit shrines to these criminals.
Historical revisionism has been a convenient tool for the shifting imperial ambitions of the United States in the post-war era. This is all too clear as the U.S. has abetted Japanese revisionism in spite of Chinese and Korean attempts to force Japanese reconciliation and redress.

The U.S. elections today offer mere window dressing to the brutal bipartisan projects of racism, capitalism, and war which engulf the whole world.

The work to build people's democracy continues. The work to derail the U.S. empire, to build real internationalism, continues.
Biden and Trump have both made clear they have every intention to continue to escalate New Cold War aggression on China, sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, Cuba,
and the DPRK, and shore up U.S. empire.

From the perspective of the Global South, there is no "lesser evil."
The CPC understands that U.S. insistence on "great power conflict" has bipartisan support. It is prepared for a 21st century "Long March" against imperialism, to pursue quality growth based on its internal market.

We will not be fooled by "liberal" rhetorical covers to empire.

印度最流行的社交媒体应用程序是： 脸书（Facebook），Whatsapp, 油管（Youtube), Snapchat, Tiktok。5个其中，印度拥有0个。中国最流行的社交媒体应用程序是： 微信，微博，QQ,， 腾讯视频，小红书。5个之中，中国拥有5个。

这就是为什么特朗普和扎克伯格对中国的保护主义和网络安全耿耿于怀的原因。
中美贸易战，世贸争端、”安全问题“和TikTok以及微信禁令，这一系列归根到底都是同一个问题：中国从战略上保护了国内产业，为中国创造了就业机会、产业链和价值链，而没有让中国沦为西方牟取暴利的被动市场。

西方对中国经济政策的攻击集中在国家补贴、国有企业、对外资的限制和知识产权转让上。
这些政策都促进了国内产业发展，阻止了西方资本的操控。

10年前，脸书原以为它可以扩大它的数字帝国，把中国变成它最大的用户群。 失败后，扎克伯格向国务院哭诉"网络安全问题"以捍卫脸书的市场控制力。

While the US left regards itself as the vanguard of leftist politics globally, the Chinese left has watched in horror at the fundamentally right-wing politics of the US left. Read our translation of a Chinese leftist on US liberalism & the fake left.
qiaocollective.com/en/articles/am…
"If there is a lesson that China must draw from the U.S., it must be that we must remember to remain humble.

We must never emulate the Americans in their blindness, arrogance and self-importance, lack of introspection, or their coarse confidence."

qiaocollective.com/en/articles/am…
"When Americans criticize they focus the problem onto an individual politician. It is not the system at fault, because the system is perfect. When Chinese people criticize, they focus criticisms on the system and how the system produced the problem." qiaocollective.com/en/articles/am…

近一个月，9月17号起，由于Mi’kmaq人民在新斯科舍省Saulnierville建立渔场，在加拿大规定的禁渔期捕龙虾，加拿大公民开始骚扰恐吓Mi’kmaw渔民。建立渔场，在加拿大规定的禁渔期捕龙虾，都是1752年，1760-61年条约保障的Mi’kmaq人民所有权利。
Mi’kmaq人民从没给联合王国或加拿大割让领土；“新斯科舍省”便是Mi’kmaq没割让的领土。这是原住民保持主权的奋斗。

新斯科舍省的渔捞工人破坏Mi’kmaw龙虾笼，打砸Mi’kmaw资产，海上骚扰Mi’kmaw渔船。今星期，一群骚乱者放火一辆货车，破坏一间储存龙虾的仓库。
种族歧视依然在加拿大，美利坚等殖民帝国根深蒂固。#龟岛# 原住活动者把今次破坏Mi’kmaq人民储存龙虾的事件与第19世纪美利坚野牛大杀戮对比：通过威胁原住民的食品安全而侵略原住民族的主权。
