#InternationalCourt orders Russia to immediately cease invasion in #Ukraine, only Judges of #Russia and #China disagree
On March 17, 2022, the International Court of Justice (#ICJ), the top court of the United Nations, has ordered Russia to “immediately suspend” its military operations in Ukraine.
Of the 15 judges, almost all agreed to order Russia to “immediately suspend” its military operations, except two dissenters: the judges of Russian, Kirill Gevorgian and Chinese, Xue Hanqin.
ICJ rulings are binding under the UN Charter although the international body has no means to enforce it.
"Ukraine gained a complete victory in its case against Russia at the international court of justice,” Ukrainian president #VolodymyrZelenskiy said in a tweet. “Russia must comply immediately. Ignoring the order will isolate Russia even further.”

CCP Mouthpiece Warns Against "Sinophobia" as Ukraine Hits Back at Chinese Insults
As the world voices support for #Ukraine, Chinese netizens have poked fun at the situation, suggesting that the war be prolonged and the more attractive ones among Ukraine’s women be “imported” into #China. The remarks have caused anger among Ukrainians, and Chinese students in Ukraine are reportedly trying to pass for Japanese. In defence of the Chinese netizenry, #HuXijin, now a special commentator for the Chinese state tabloid #GlobalTimes, wrote that it is completely Ukraine’s fault if Sinophobia breaks out in the country, asking rhetorically “where in the world Internet [discussions] are thoroughly rational”.
In a Weibo post published on 27 February, Hu says that the Chinese people are generally very friendly to Ukraine and wish Ukrainians peace. But while acknowledging that Chinese netizens need to be reminded to stay calm and refrain from triggering other communities, Hu says “it mustn’t be accepted as a reason for the foreign world to take revenge on Chinese expats”.
“It is a crime for anyone to persecute the Chinese citizens in Ukraine,” he adds, “and it’s nothing short of making himself an enemy of the People’s Republic of China. It definitely won’t end well for [him].”

"I hope they did not hurt me on purpose," says Ukranian girl who lost an arm

The doctor said the injury was critical and Sasha was starting to lose her consciousness when hiding underground. Yet Sasha never cried. "She is exceptionally strong," the doctor said.
After the surgery, Sasha told the press, "I don't know why the Russian people shot me, I hope they did not hurt me on purpose."

Chinese in Ukraine Are Trying to Pass for Japanese as Anger Grows over Pro-Invasion Comments by ‘Little Pink’
As #Russia receives overwhelming censure for invading #Ukraine, comments supporting the aggression and deriding Ukrainian women were made on the Internet by the jingoistic #LittlePink and opinion leaders in #China. With the locals getting word of the remarks and anger boiling over, Chinese students in Ukraine are reportedly trying to pass for Japanese. China’s embassy in Ukraine issued an advisory in the early hours of Saturday, 26 February, warning nationals against openly identifying as Chinese and displaying the Chinese flag.
In a clip circulating on Twitter, a Chinese man claiming to be a student at Ukraine’s National University of Life and Environmental Sciences notes that some of his compatriots are making derisive comments on the Internet like “It’s a good war they’re waging in Ukraine—the more deaths the better. That way I’ll be getting a Ukrainian girl as wife”. With the remarks translated into English and Russian and having made their way to Ukraine, he says, Chinese students in Ukraine are finding themselves isolated.
“I just got a message saying that many in China are making gibes on the Internet like ‘It’s a good war they’re waging in Ukraine—the more deaths the better. That way I’ll be getting a Ukrainian girl as wife’,” the student reports. “You know the Ukrainian media have picked them up and translated them, and now basically every Ukrainian knows about them. Down in the bomb shelters in the Kyiv subway, old ladies and young people went asking Chinese students if they really feel that way. A lot of us are now scared to stay there. To all the keyboard fighters in China: show some respect and give us a chance to live.”

Chanting “Free Tibet” in Taipei Rally on 63rd Anniversary of Tibetan Resistance
“It is a shame that in the 21st century we must also see the persecution of the Uyghurs, that the Hong Kong documentary Revolution of Our Times can only be screened in Taiwan, and that authoritarian countries are invading Ukraine, but alongside all this bad news, we are also seeing an awakening, with many countries beginning to reflect on the whims of other authoritarian regimes and becoming more committed to defending democratic values,” said Wuer Kaixi, Executive Deputy Secretary of Human Rights Promotion Association in the Legislative Yuan and leader of the June Fourth Movement.

China State Media Demonizes its Netizens' #StandWithUkraine Effort
Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, Chinese-language comments supporting the aggression and deriding Ukrainian women were made by #LittlePink and opinion leaders on various social media platforms in China. Other Chinese-speaking netizens, who were appalled at these comments and behaviors, began translating them into other languages and posting them online for the world to see.
Calling themselves "The Great Translation Movement", the volunteer translators soon caught the attention of international media - as well as China's own propaganda machine.
Global Times, a tabloid owned by the Chinese Communist Party, condemned these volunteer translation efforts for painting China in a negative light. In a Weibo post on March 17, 2022, The Party mouthpiece called the translations an "evil force", inciting Anti-China hate on the Internet and endangering China as a whole. It also accused the participants to be supported by "foreign, anti-China forces", suggesting that they lacked "normal morals" and could not bear to see China's successful development - and its "temporary problems".

ICANN refused to cut Russia's network, saying not to interfere with the war
#Russia has invaded #Ukraine for more than a month with suspension by companies and countries around the world suspending Russia.
The Ukrainian authority recently requested #ICANN, a non-profit organisation responsible for coordinating global network management, cut the network in Russia, but received denial. ICANN also indicated not to interfere in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
ICANN replied to the Ukrainian officials on #Mar02 that the relevant suggestion was not feasible and also violated the mission of ICANN. Its CEO, Gordon Marby, stated, "Internet is a decentralised system. No one has the power to control it or to shut it down."
He continues, "I am deeply sorry to the Ukrainian citizens who suffered so much in the war. However, ICANN does not have the responsibility to punish or to sanction a specific region or country connecting the internet.
