Taiwan’s Legislature Passes Motion to Resume Diplomatic Relations with US, Beijing Protests
Taiwan’s legislature has passed a motion proposed by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) to restore diplomatic relations with the US.
Proposed by the KMT’s parliamentary caucus, a motion on restoring diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the US and another on requesting American assistance in resisting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were passed without objection.
Taiwan’s premiere Su Tseng-chang said the KMT had been responsible for the end of Taiwan’s diplomatic relations with the US and it was good that it had come to follow its conscience. Taiwan’s foreign ministry said it will continue to deepen its relations with the US in such areas as politics, international participation, economy and trade, and security.
In Beijing, the Taiwan Affairs Office has repeatedly stated that it is resolutely opposed to any form of official exchanges between Taiwan and the US, and that those plotting independence and secession would meet a dead end.

Anti-Communist Protesters rally outside Chinese Consultate in Toronto
On 1 Oct, more than 100 people were outside the Chinese consulate in Toronto in protest of the Chinese Communist Party’s regime. Demonstrators rallied to denounced the current Chinese government, its treatment of Tibet, Hong Kong and Uygher Muslims in Xinjiang. Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have been illegally incarcerated and tortured in China for nearly two years. Also, Wuhan pneumonia caused trillions of dollars or economic damage and hundreds of thousands of death inflicted upon the world.
A lady explained to the press, 'it’s time that the Canadians wake up and see what’s going on in, not just in here our country, but around the globe.' Another man said, 'none of the countries is trying to stand up and make China accountable.'

Chinese Ambassador Says India Is Not Doing Anyone Favour by Limiting Chinese Investment
The Chinese ambassador to India Sun Weidong has said India’s limitations on Chinese businesses and investments were not benefitting anyone. He added that any action that heightened and complicated the tension was no solution and that engaging in dialogue was the right way and the way out. The more difficult the situation was, he said, the more crucial it was to have stability and mutual trust.
Hosting a video conference celebrating China’s national day and the Mid-Autumn festival with representatives of Chinese expats in India, Sun discussed the recent status of China-India relations. He said it was vital for the two countries to move forward in the right direction under the current circumstances. Being two major developing countries, he said, China and India should focus on such challenges as beating the pandemic, economic recovery, and improving livelihoods. He said what the two countries needed was collaboration and not confrontation, mutual trust and not mutual suspicion. He said it was normal for China and India, being neighbours, to have differences, but arguments should come in the right place in their relations and must not be allowed to get in the way.

中國駐印度大使：印度限制中國企業投資 損人不利己

Canada begins granting asylum to Hong Kong protesters: Canadian press
The suppression of human rights under Hong Kong's national security law has drawn the concern of the international community. In tow with the UK and Australia, the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail indicated its country has also begun accepting Hong Kong pro-democracy activists claiming refugee status to seek asylum.
The Globe and Mail reported that in a letter dated 1 Sept, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada notified a couple in their 30s that the refugee protection division considered them to be "Convention refugees" and accepted their claims for asylum.
As defined by the United Nations, a "Convention refugee" is a person who cannot return to their home country due to a fear of persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, etc.

Japan to Strengthen Student Visa Screening Against CCP Tech Theft

Japan to Strengthen Student Visa Screening Against CCP Tech Theft
Japan is reportedly considering joining the UK and the US in tightening visa access for foreign students to keep out CCP tech spies. The Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun reported that for economic safety reasons, Japan will strengthen visa screening for international students and foreign researchers starting next year. This measure is to prevent high-end technology and information relating to national security from leaking into China or other countries.
Costing 220 million yen (about 2 million US dollars), the new gatekeeping mechanism will be a coordinated effort involving departments including the National Security Secretariat, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Defence. Information about suspicious persons will be shared among these agencies.
While some officials noted that the measure might not be as strict as that of the US, they are worried that Japan will be the next target for Chinese students rejected by America. They are also worried that a lack of a mechanism preventing the outflow of sensitive technology will impede research cooperation between Japanese students and American institutions. Just this July, four Chinese expats under the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were exposed to have forged their identities to obtain visas for conducting research in American universities.
As world powers race to gain a foothold in artificial intelligence and laser weaponry, the Ministry of Defence is also considering engaging an economic security intelligence officer. Working at the Bureau of Defence Policy, they will be tasked with analyzing developments of cutting-edge technology around the world and taking measures to protect Japan’s high-end technology. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will spend 1.87 billion yen (about 17.7 million US dollars) to encourage companies and universities to better manage cutting-edge technology and prevent sensitive military technology from leaking.
As it becomes clearer that the CCP is stealing sensitive technology across the globe, it is also clear that the tech war between the US and China has spread to countries like the UK, Australia, and Japan. With the ‘Made in China 2025’ strategic plan failing amid the trade war and the CCP pushing for domestically manufactured chips, it is only natural that the world steps up screening to prevent tech theft by China through mergers and espionage.

US Media: Senior German Official Stopped the Publication of an Internal Report on Chinese Influence due to Worries of Possible Damage to German-Chinese Relations
American media company, Axios exclusively reported that a senior German official suppressed the publishing of an intelligence report document as officials worry that it would possibly damage the economic relationship between Germany and China. The report described China’s expansion of influence in Germany.
The exclusive report quoted two former US intelligence officials, they stated that this report is highly-confidential report has been completed since 2018. The content of the report examines China’s intention to influence Germany government, their community and business market. However, a senior German official stopped the report circulating within the German government. It was reported that only the German Chancellor Markel and several officials had read the report. When Axios asked the spokesperson of the German Federal Government, the spokesperson said that the German government would not comment on intelligence discovery or the activity of an intelligence company, as a matter of principle. The Federal Intelligence Service in Germany had also not commented on it yet.
The German policies towards China have been affected by economic factors, and sometimes, this would influence the perspective of the German government on the human right and national security issues. A former German Ambassador in China Volker Stanzel said in an interview that “Germany depends on exports to a high degree, and that gives the business a large influence. Business representatives talk to the government and are used to being listened to. The Chinese Communist Party succeeded in globalising its economy because it was able to join itself to foreign business interests.”
Businesses tend to discourage their local government from implementing policies that would harm China’s economic relations. However, Beijing authorities increasingly conflict commercial trade with politics, including threats in order to implement punitive economic measures on companies which criticised the human rights in China. As a result, Peter Altmaier, a German Businessman and the Economy Minister, is incentivised to fade out the seriousness of the human rights violation and security challenges in China.

Canada watchdog mum as U.K. agency finds security defects in Huawei gear
Unlike the British agency, Canada’s Communication Security Establishment (CSE) does not release annual reports on the testing of Huawei gear.
A senior research associate at Citizen Lab said Canadian to have right to know and understand the actual state what was going on.
The Globe has reported that Canada’s military and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service want Ottawa to block Huawei, saying it is not a trusted vendor and that its 5G equipment could be used for Chinese espionage or to disable crucial infrastructure during an international crisis.
Canada remains the only member of the Five Eyes alliance that has not taken action to ban and drug Huawei participation in 5G networks.
