    "The Vatican is in the process of renewing its deal with the Chinese Communist Party that recognizes CCP-appointed bishops as legitimate. To learn more about this we’ve invited to speak with us James Bascom, Assistant director of the Washington Bureau of the Catholic organization, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property.

    Meanwhile, there was a large norovirus outbreak at a Chinese university in Shanxi, where around 100 male college students suddenly fell ill with a foodborne illness. There was very little information on what was taking place until the evening of October 8, when the Wucheng campus of Shanxi University of Finance and Economics announced that all students on the sixth floor of a dormitory building have been placed in isolation in their dorms.

    And China leader Xi Jinping has joined Karl Marx and Mao Zedong as a required course at the top colleges in China. Nikkei reports that starting this Fall, 37 universities in China will launch introductory courses on Xi Jinping Thought. This will be done through the School of Marxism, which is an institution at the 37 universities, and instructs students on his theories.

    These stories and more in this episode of Crossroads."

    From the Hindustan Times today:

    India demolishes China’s new excuse for Ladakh stand-off in 3 points
    India China border: The PLA’s concerns around the Indian infrastructure upgrade in Ladakh stem from the fear that it could pose a military threat to the multi-billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor

    Updated: Oct 14, 2020, 14:38 IST | Shishir Gupta - New Delhi



    India has rejected Chinese contention that its border infrastructure upgrade along the 3,488 km Line of Actual Control (LAC) is the crux of on-going military tensions, saying the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has already built and continues to construct roads and communication network on its side of the border.
    “First, the bridges inaugurated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday are away from the LAC and would facilitate civilian movement and access apart from military logistics. Second, China has never raised the issue of India’s infra upgrade at the on-going military-diplomatic talks. Third, what about the road, bridges, optical fibres, solar-heated huts and missile deployments of the PLA close to the LAC. India is only building infra on its side of the LAC and for that we do not need Chinese permission,”
    said a senior official.

    According to military commanders, the PLA has drawn optical fibre for secure communication at contested Gogra-Hot Springs, used heavy-lift cranes to drop solar heated containers as accommodation for forward troops on north bank of Pangong Tso and have built a hospital in the depth area to cater to high-altitude sickness and medical problems associated with rarefied atmosphere.

    However, according to China watchers, the reason why PLA is concerned about Indian infrastructure upgrade in Ladakh is that it could pose a military threat to the multi-billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC, to Pakistan that passes via Khunjerab Pass and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. It is understood that the Chinese have conveyed their concerns over CPEC to its all-weather ally Pakistan as India has very strongly objected to Beijing exploiting the ecologically sensitive Gilgit-Baltistan area and PoK.

    The increased Indian military capacity and capability on the LAC also prevents the PLA from nibbling into East Ladakh in pursuance of its maximalist 1959 cartographical claim line.

    The fact is that in 1976, the China Study Group headed by the then Cabinet Secretary had defined 65 patrolling points as limits for Indian Army on the Ladakh LAC. As these patrolling points were well within Indian perception of LAC, the PLA through tremendous border upgrades tried to turn these limits as Indian border. This was pointed out to the UPA regime by former foreign secretary Shyam Saran when, as the National Security Advisory Board chairman, he advocated that Indian troops must patrol up to at least the limits defined by CSG.

    Over the years, China has pressurised India not only on the border but has also been condescending enough to ask New Delhi to maintain its non-aligned position and not get close to the United States. Beijing, on its part, believes that it belongs to a different league and has blocked India from becoming a member of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), UN Security Council and even helped Pakistan to unsuccessfully try to get Indian engineers involved in Afghan reconstruction as global terrorists under 1267 UNSC resolution.

    ( The CCP want turmoil in the US!)

    "In Zooming In's recent documentary movie “The American Republic vs the CCP, ” Simone interviewed a Chinese big data expert, former Huawei employee Jack. In this episode of Zooming In, we will present the full interview of Jack by Simone.

    They discussed the possible joint venture between TikTok and Oracle; whether it would be a safe arrangement for the American people; and whether Oracle itself is trust worthy.

    TikTok said it stores data in Singapore and the U.S. and that China doesn’t have access to it. Can we trust them?

    The Chinese national security agencies are stationed in big tech companies for the sole purpose of using their data to do their surveillance job. How should America deal with a totalitarian state empowered by big data and artificial intelligence?

    Simone and Jack discussed these questions and more."

    Recent developments suggest that India and China have now developed a 3-step plan to reduce tensions along the disputed line of control on the Ladakh border. However, this article tries to address the all important question of blanket silence around the stand-off, from the mainstream news outlets. This oughtn't to come as too much of a surprise as the CCP have already invested heavily in Western media outlets' control of their preferred narrative - a kind of "Operation Red Crowned Crane" (China's national bird) for want of a better analogy.

    The India-China Ladakh Crisis: Why So Silent, World?

    The fact that the tense standoff in Ladakh has not led to a greater impression on the public in the U.S. and elsewhere raises uncomfortable questions.

    By Abhijnan Rej | September 24, 2020

    Toward the end of last week, a Western analyst who specializes in East Asian strategic affairs messaged me to discuss the latest turn in the ongoing India-China military standoff in Ladakh, as we have periodically done over the last few months. But this time around, he noted something that has been on the minds of many since the crisis started early May: Despite the gravity of the situation, the world seems to be relatively blasé about it.

    True, as the crisis has deepened — with clashes and deaths, and reports of firing on the Line of the Actual Control (which serves as the de facto though undefined border between the two countries) for the first time in more than 40 years – the international press has covered the standoff with increasing regularity. But the impression that the current crisis deserves far more attention than what it has received so far is unmistakable.

    Consider this: You have India and China — Asia’s second and fourth most powerful militaries – in a standoff that will enter its fifth month in less than two weeks. Add to this the possibility that in event of a shooting war between the two, Pakistan, another top-10 regional military power, may also join in to open a new front against India — and all three countries are nuclear-armed. Top it off with the (much-repeated) facts that China and India together make up a third of the planet’s population and they are the second and fifth largest economies in the world, and you’d perhaps also wonder why the India-China crisis is not jumping off the screen for you.

    I can think of four different reasons, each troubling in its own right.

    The first has to do with how India’s strategic orientation is widely perceived, beyond the coterie of government officials, think tankers, and journalists in key Western capitals. When we think of wars India might fight, Pakistan – and Kashmir – immediately comes to mind. To be sure, this mental hyphenation has been reinforced by New Delhi’s own very public obsession with Pakistan and its material military posture.

    But Kashmir has always been a dispute involving three powers, though admittedly China had been, for a considerable period of time, relatively silent about it. It is a matter of no small irony that India’s most serious national security challenge since the 1999 Kargil conflict with Pakistan is in Ladakh – which formed part of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir till August last year.

    Which brings me to my second reason. While India has vocally sought the United States’ intercession and public support any time it has gotten into a scrap with Pakistan, it has – as Tanvi Madan and others have reminded us – preferred that the United States refrain from commenting on its difficulties with China, while counting on quiet help. (This was the delicately balanced apple cart that President Donald Trump’s rash statements about the ongoing standoff in May threatened to overturn.)

    But even assuming that the relative silence of the U.S. government is strategic, and mindful of India’s preference, one can safely conjecture that, consequentially, the American public at large — insofar as it concerns itself with the larger world at a time of great political turmoil at home, not to mention a raging pandemic — has been unaware of the gravity of the unfolding situation.

    Beyond that is a matter of simple ignorance: how many are aware of the fact that almost the entire 3,488 kilometers border between India and China is disputed, the largest such in the world? (In contrast and ironically, a large fraction of the India-Pakistan border is settled, agreed on by both sides on map and ground.)

    Could it be that India’s own confused, and therefore confusing, China policy, under the garb of a stated posture of strategic autonomy, has something to do with how the current standoff has not registered in the public consciousness?

    Over the years, India has blown hot and cold when it comes to China, setting the border issue aside to pursue economic and political cooperation with its largest neighbor. A 2017 statistical analysis shows that between 2001 and 2015, the rest of the BRICS (China included) have closely tracked India’s voting pattern in the U.N., suggesting substantial political convergence in multilateral forums.

    For reasons that remain unclear, the Indian government continues to equate India’s cooperation with Russia and China with its three-way consultations with the U.S. and Japan. With this, and more, in the backdrop one can perhaps forgive why foreigners have, by and large, failed to grasp the simmering tensions between India and China that have now dramatically come to the fore.

    Finally, there is that fundamental question of interests. Strip away the rhetoric of making common cause with like-minded democracies in the Asia-Pacific, of India as a “major defense partner,” or even the flattering Indo-Pacific nomenclature and ask: What exactly is at stake for the United States in the current standoff? Also ask: How would the United States react if a crisis like this was building up between China and Japan, or perhaps China and Australia – hypotheticals that are ultimately about the future of the U.S. as the Pacific hegemon? Put another way, if India tomorrow was to fold – and accept a new status quo in Ladakh – what would the United States, all said and done, stand to lose?

    Sure, one certain corollary of the current standoff would be India’s military strengthening its continental focus, and concomitantly, not being able to do its part in terms of maritime burden-sharing (however the U.S. and its Asian allies imagine that to be).

    But it is an unoriginal observation that already before the current crisis India — beyond enthusiastically jumping into an array of consultative mechanisms – was faltering in meeting the United States’ expectations, leading to an “India fatigue” in Washington (if some close observers are to be trusted). If the current crisis ends up with New Delhi doubling down on its frontiers, could it exacerbate this fatigue, leading to a moment of reckoning in the U.S.-India relationship?

    The current India-China standoff raises these uncomfortable questions – for India, the U.S., and the world. But they must be asked, and eventually answered.

    "Sky News host Chris Smith says the Chinese communist regime has “disgraced themselves in front of the world” after posting a doctored picture of an Australian soldier holding a knife to a child’s neck.

    “The Chinese Communist Party and its regressive government have outdone themselves,” Mr Smith said.

    The doctored image – which has not been censored by Twitter despite being faked – were published by China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian who said he was “shocked by murder of Afghan civilians & prisoners by Australian soldiers”. "

    Earthquake in southwestern China left 175 dead 1,402 injured -700 rescuers continue to assist

    World News

    "At least 175 people were killed, 1,402 injured. Yunnan province, southwestern China, has just suffered the strongest earthquake in 14 years, causing widespread casualties and damage.
    Around 4:30 pm On November 30 (local time), a 6.5 magnitude earthquake brought a magnitude 4.1 aftershock in the remote mountainous area of ​​northeast Yunnan province, causing the least amount of 175 people were killed, 1,402 injured and 181 people remained missing, China Daily quoted information from the China Warning Network Center. The most severely affected was the epicenter of Lu Dien district, Chieu Thong city, Northeastern province with more than 100 people killed, 2,000 houses collapsed and 30,000 houses damaged. The remaining victims were killed in two neighboring districts.

    AFP quoted information from the American Institute of Geophysics said that many people in Chieu Thong live in old apartments, not capable of high seismic tolerance, so the casualties will be very large. According to experts and rescue workers, many more people may be trapped under the bricks, so the number of casualties could soar.
    Images from the site of the earthquake showed panicked crowds fleeing apartment complexes. After that, many people gathered to stand in front of their dilapidated house with a look of fear and shock on their faces. One resident in Lu Dien was shocked to tell Xinhua: “It was terrible, everything around me collapsed, including the newly built two-story building. The desolate scene like a battlefield had just been bombed. The consequences were much more terrible than the earthquake two years ago. I have never seen the earth shake so violently ”. A volunteer participating in the rescue said: “I have participated in saving more than 40 people. We also saw a lot of bodies trapped in the rubble but couldn't do anything because it was a priority to save survivors. The earthquake also affected telecommunications systems and caused widespread power outages.

    The army, police and some 700 rescuers are still working hard to find the victims. The Chinese government has sent 2,000 tents, 3,000 folding beds, 6,000 blankets and warm clothes to assist families evacuated due to homelessness. However, the rescue work is facing many difficulties because right before the earthquake, the landslide area was damaged and stopped working, according to Xinhua. The local government ordered urgent repairs and temporarily reopened some roads for post-seismic rescue work.
    The mountainous region in southwestern China is located between the provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou, which are difficult to travel with frequent strong earthquakes, leading to extremely serious consequences."

    Huge quakes in China
    (I don't know why Dutchsinse hasn't reported more on these, though he has been predicting them in recent updates--perhaps they aren't being reported on regular channels, and news of the extensive damages haven't reached the mainstream yet.
    On the other hand, reports about China are often questionable, though these look legit.)

    Myanmar is exposing China’s desperation for rice

    "It seems that China neither has food, nor money to feed its citizens. The food crisis in China is quite an embarrassment for the government of the second-largest economy in the world and Myanmar is all set to expose China's desperation for rice. Watch the video for more."


    (Though it's hard to tell what news about China is true, it seems likely this news is true, considering how much of China's farmland has been flooded.)
