Japanese Lawmaker Questions CCP’s Live Organ Harvesting in Parliamentary Inquiry, Calls for Curbing Transplant Tourism
Japan’s National Diet focused on China’s human rights issues on Tuesday (December 16). During questioning at the House of Councillors Judicial Affairs Committee, Japanese Conservative Party senator Haruo Kitamura stated that the Chinese Communist Party is suspected of large-scale live organ harvesting from detained individuals. He urged the government to initiate legislation to curb Japanese citizens’ participation in so-called “transplant tourism” at an institutional level, in order to prevent them from unknowingly becoming involved in serious human rights violations....
The CCP’s Evildoing Crowns Jimmy Lai
Recently, Jimmy Lai was charged with “inciting subversion of state power.” Three judges designated under the National Security Law—Du Limin, Lee Siu-lan, and Li Yuntong (please remember these three names)—handed down the verdict, finding all charges proven. The case has drawn widespread international attention. The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as political leaders from many countries, have issued strong condemnations....
Under Xi Jinping’s Rule, Even Drawing a Pig’s Head Can Land You in Prison
In the era of Xi Jinping’s rule, the space for speech in China has been compressed to a suffocating degree. A young woman born in the 1990s, Zhang Dongning, was twice thrown into prison on charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” simply for using her brush to create a series of “pig-head human-body” comics that satirized social hot issues and current politics, serving a total of two years in prison. This is not an isolated case, but a typical microcosm of this regime’s zero tolerance for dissent: even drawing pigs can lead to jail, fully revealing its fragility and absurdity....
“Decapitation” Rhetoric Continues to Ferment as China–Japan Information War Heats Up
In mid-November, Xue Jian, the CCP’s consul general in Osaka, threatened to “decapitate” Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The incident has continued to ferment to this day, with both sides constantly escalating an information war. However, the world is increasingly seeing clearly that the CCP is a source of instability and disaster at both the global and regional levels. The growing passive resistance by many Asian countries against the CCP’s violence and brutality has increasingly drawn global sympathy....
Three Chinese-Funded Companies to Pay $7.3 Million Over Alleged Fraudulent Claims of Pandemic Relief Loans
On Tuesday (December 16), the U.S. Department of Justice announced that three U.S. subsidiaries owned by Chinese capital have agreed to pay a total of more than $7.31 million to settle allegations that they improperly obtained “Paycheck Protection Program” (PPP) loans by making false certifications....
Fighting Japan, the Party Chief Ends Up Reaping Only a Face Full of Loneliness
Dissatisfied with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks about “a Taiwan contingency,” the CCP rolled out its old playbook—inciting the public to launch an anti-Japan movement nationwide, while simultaneously imposing sanctions and economic blockades against Japan—in an attempt to force Sanae Takaichi to submit and admit fault. Japan refused, leading to heightened tensions between the two countries. Contrary to the CCP’s expectations, this anti-Japan movement has so far produced little negative impact on Japan, leaving the CCP to reap only a face full of loneliness....
Wang Yi Makes Roving Visits to Various Countries; China and Russia Fully Launch “Hybrid Warfare” in Europe
The Europe Subcommittee of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee recently held a hearing titled “Hybrid Warfare Against U.S. Interests in Europe: The Strategies of Moscow and Beijing.” In his opening remarks, Subcommittee Chairman Keith Self warned that the “hybrid warfare” launched by Russia and China (the Chinese Communist Party, CCP) in Europe against the interests of the United States and its allies has already fully unfolded. Experts pointed out that the purpose of Sino-Russian “hybrid warfare” is to split Western unity and create strategic paralysis across the free world, and that the...
