Why Mandarin of China is a problem of suppressing technology innovation in Sichuan

If Mandarin of China were not imposed in Sichuan by CCP's central government, and the local population placed a strong emphasis on cooperating with the US and improving their English skills, several potential outcomes could benefit companies like Intel in terms of talent acquisition and product development. Here are some considerations: 1. Increased Talent Pool Higher English Proficiency: A focus on improving English skills would create a workforce that can communicate effectively with international partners, including tech companies like Intel. This would facilitate collaboration and innovation. Attracting Global Talent: An emphasis on English education and international cooperation could make Sichuan a more attractive location for foreign professionals, increasing the diversity of thought and expertise in the region. 2. Enhanced Collaboration Access to International Standards: Improved English proficiency could enable Sichuanish engineers and developers to access global research,...

The Case for “Sichuanish”: A Proper Ethno-Linguistic Name for the Language of Sichuan

A 6-year-old in Sichuan bursts into tears for "not speaking Mandarin well enough." 🇨🇳 CCP forces children to abandon native language—Sichuanish—in favor of state-mandated conformity. This is not education. It’s cultural erasure. #Sichuanish #LanguageRights https://t.co/2ZeWSdh878 — CPA Jim (@CPAJim2021) June 5, 2025   Abstract The language known colloquially as “Sichuanese” has long been misclassified as a sub-dialect of “Chinese,” an ethnolinguistic framework that denies the historical, cultural, and political identity of the Sichuanish people. This paper argues for the adoption of “Sichuanish” as the standard English term for 四川话, aligning with global naming conventions (English, Spanish, Polish) and supporting de-Sinicization of regional identities under authoritarian rule. 1. Naming Matters: -ese vs. -ish Linguistic terms ending in -ese (e.g. Chinese, Cantonese) have historically denoted derivative or colonial characterizations , often imposed externally. By c...

Weaknesses of "Changes at the Hong Kong Liaison Office: Power Shift in Zhongnanhai?! Rumors of Wang Yang Secretly Acting as General Secretary"

The article published on June 2, 2025, by creaders.net and other websites, likely all paid by Chinese Communist Party through an intermediary or intermediaries that infiltrate dissident groups or cryptocurrencies, or relying on monetary sources controlled or influenced by CCP , titled "中联办异动 中南海权力生变?!爆汪洋秘密代理总书记职权," claims a dramatic power shift within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), alleging that Xi Jinping has been absent for over a week, that Wang Yang is secretly acting as General Secretary, and that the sudden dismissal of Zheng Yanxiong as Hong Kong Liaison Office director signals a broader reconfiguration in Zhongnanhai. Sourced primarily from unverified self-media and speculative commentary, the article lacks credible evidence and misrepresents CCP power dynamics. When analyzed through Leninist organizational principles, recent U.S.-China trade tensions, and the systemic risks posed by the CCP’s authoritarian structure, the article’s weaknesses become glaring. It fa...

Systemic Non-Disclosure by Chinese State-Owned Banks Under IAS 24: A Case Study of CSCEC and State Council-Controlled Entities

  Abstract: This report investigates the systemic nondisclosure of material related-party transactions by five major Chinese state-owned banks, despite claiming compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), specifically International Accounting Standard 24 (IAS 24) on Related Party Disclosures. It focuses on undisclosed loans to China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd (CSCEC), an entity directly controlled by the State Council of the People's Republic of China (PRC), through the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). Data is drawn from publicly available 2019 annual reports and CSCEC’s 2019 bond prospectus, all of which are verifiable from stock exchange websites and official bank investor relations portals. 1. Introduction The People's Republic of China operates a state-capitalist financial system dominated by large state-owned commercial banks and centrally controlled enterprises. Despite listing their secur...

The Future of China: A Region of Free Republics

1. No More One-Party Tyranny, No More One Nation The idea of "One China" is not historical—it’s a CCP myth of domination . In the new world: Tibet , Uyghurstan , Southern Mongolia , Hong Kong , Taiwan , Hakka , Canton , Min , Sichuan , Jiangnan , Yunnan , and more will become sovereign nations . Each nation sets its own language, laws, values , and does not answer to any Mandarin-speaking “center”. No federal system to bind them together— only trade, diplomacy, and mutual respect . 🕊️2. Nations Without Armies—A Demilitarized Civilization Instead of building another Asian arms race: All newly born nations agree to constitutional demilitarization —no standing armies, no nukes, no paramilitaries. The US military or NATO-like security guarantees are invited voluntarily under treaty, just as: Iceland has no army and relies on NATO, Japan and Germany rely on US Forces under clear constitutional limits. This prevents any future authoritarian military ...

Tian Jun: A Case Study in PLA-Groomed Influence Operations and the Urgent Need for Western Counterintelligence Reform

Executive Summary Tian Jun, born in 1957, presents a highly illustrative case of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has systematically groomed cadres through military-industrial structures and then deployed them abroad as part of long-term influence and intelligence efforts. From his early roots in a PLA-controlled weapons factory to his prominent roles in the UK’s financial and energy sectors, Tian’s career arc raises substantial concerns for Western counterintelligence and policy planners. Timeline and Background Pre-1978 : Tian Jun worked as an apprentice at “Factory 6410,” a military industrial complex located in the remote Taihang mountain region, specifically in Jingxing County. This facility, a massive enterprise directly under the PLA Armored Forces and rated as a full division-level unit, was considered a model of red-military industry integration. Tian himself stated that his aspiration at the time was to one day live in the factory’s “Generals’ Building.” 1978 : On Septem...

毒蛇的种子与新葡萄园

  在一个 fertile valley 中,有一个村庄,村民们以种植葡萄为生。葡萄园是村庄的命脉,果实丰收时,大家都能分享喜悦。但有一天,一位外来者来到村庄,他自称是“科学家”,带来了一种新的种子,承诺会让葡萄园更加繁荣。 故事发展: 科学家说:“这些种子是从远方的实验室带来的,它们会让葡萄长得更快、更甜。”村民们一开始好奇 ,但也有些犹豫。科学家继续说:“放心吧,这些种子会让我们的村庄成为全世界的榜样。”于是,村民们同意了,让他种下这些种子。 但很快,村民们发现,这些种子长出的葡萄藤,不像他们先前看到的. 果实表面光滑,但里面却隐藏着一种毒素。吃下这些葡萄的人开始生病,村庄里充满了恐惧与混乱。 正义的扭曲: 村庄的长老们试图调查这种毒素的来源,但科学家说:“这是自然的产物,与我们无关。”他雇佣了一群“专家”,这些人声称毒素是从野外的动物传播来的。长老们发现,这些专家 实际上与该科学家有关联关系,他们的报告被操纵来支持其主张。 小明,一位年轻的农夫,试图质疑这一切。他说:“但这些种子明明是从实验室来的,为什么要说是自然的?”科学家和他的专家们压制小明的声音,称他为“阴谋论者”。甚至,村里的法官也被说服,拒绝调查实验室的真相。正义不再是公平的,而是被操纵的工具。 社会的操控: 不仅如此,科学家还开始改变村庄的生活方式。他说:“为了村庄的未来,我们必须统一思想。任何不同的声音都会扰乱和谐。”于是,他建立了“思想教育中心”,要求每个人参加学习会议,学习他的理论。那些不服从的人被贴上“异类”的标签,失去工作或被隔离。 村庄的节日也被改变了。过去,节日是大家一起庆祝丰收的时刻,现在却变成了赞颂科学家的集会。孩子们被教导,科学家是他们的救星,质疑科学家就是背叛村庄。 揭露真相:三颗“毒蛇的种子” 小明开始调查,他发现三种证据证明这些种子确实来自该实验室: 第一颗种子: 葡萄藤的尖端有一种特殊的结构,被称为“弗林多碱基裂解位点”的酶,使葡萄的毒性增强。这种结构在任何天然葡萄中都不存在,而是被科学家人工植入的。. 第二颗种子: 葡萄藤的毒素与一种已知的“超级毒素”相似,可以引发严重的疾病。科学家曾在实验室中研究这种毒素,试图增强它的效果。 第三颗种子: 科学家曾向外国的资助机构申请资金,计划在实验室中创造一种新的、更有毒的葡萄藤。这种计划被拒绝,但小明发现,科学家可...
