Embassy in Mongolia Returned the Letter about the Opposition to Chinese Teaching Materials in Inner Mongolia: Wrong Point of View

Inner Mongolia Education Department required all institutions to teach in Chinese instead of Mongolian, which triggered local citizens to protest. The Former Mongolian President, Elbegdorj Tsakhia, sent a letter to President Xi Jinping yesterday (25th September), demonstrating the push in Chinese teaching materials in Inner Mongolia. He posted in Twitter today that the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia had returned his letter. He also emphasized, he would not retract that letter and stated that the letter had already drawn many attentions in society.

According to RTHK quoted the letter from Chinese Ambassador, Chai Wenrui, to Elbegdorj Tsakhia, indicated that all affairs related to Inner Mongolia, including bilingual education, were China’s internal affairs and no interference from others was allowed. They also said the view in Elbegdorji's letter was completely wrong that China would not accept it. China hopes that he would respect China’s sovereignty based on the relationship between the two countries, identify the truth and stop speculating on relevant issues.

Chai said he noted that Elbegdorji had recently made many remarks on the reform of bilingual education in Inner Mongolia. However, the national-common language is a symbol of national sovereignty. It is the right and obligation of every citizen to learn and use the language. At the same time, the Chinese government protects the rights of ethnic minorities, including Mongolians, to use their own spoken and written languages.

Elbegdorji’s letter stated that the Chinese Constitution stipulated all ethnic groups have the freedom to use and develop their language but the freedom of Mongolian children in Inner Mongolia is being violated. He pointed out that he wrote the letter as he could not ignore the problem, describing that thousands of Mongolians and their children desired China to fulfil their rights under the constitution, they are suffering indescribably.

US to Sanction SMIC, Companies Must Have Licence Before Exporting Technology to SMIC

The Financial Times has reported that the US government will sanction SMIC, China’s largest chip manufacturer. The report quoted the US authorities as saying that exports to SMIC may be used for military purposes and pose “unacceptable risk.” The authorities have instructed American companies to obtain a licence before exporting software and chip-making equipment to SMIC.

According to the Financial Times, the US commerce department sent a letter on 25 September to notify companies of relevant arrangements. Paul Triolo, head of technology policy analysis at the political risk consultancy Eurasia Group, said SMIC will be “completely cut off” in the worst-case scenario, which “will seriously affect China’s ability to manufacture chips” and will also affect US-China relations.

China played dirty to get Huawei’s 'princess' back — too dirty even to tell its own people

Family and supporters of two diplomatic hostages held in China for almost three years have celebrated their arrival home in Canada, as the woman they were traded for, Meng Wanzhou, was given a hero's welcome in the city of Shenzhen.

The trio's return to their respective homes caps a historic three-year standoff between the world's two superpowers, with Canada and the Chinese company Huawei caught in the middle.

Upon arriving home to Calgary, one of the two Canadians Michael Kovrig said "It’s fantastic to be back home in Canada".

China's President Xi Jinping warns of 'grim' Taiwan situation in letter to opposition

The situation in the Taiwan Strait is "complex and grim", Chinese President Xi Jinping wrote in a congratulatory letter on Sunday to the newly elected leader of Taiwan's main opposition party, who has pledged to renew talks with Beijing.

Taiwan's Kuomintang (KMT) elected as their leader on Saturday former New Taipei City mayor Eric Chu who said he would rekindle stalled high-level contacts with China's ruling Communist Party.

China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has stepped up military and political pressure to force the democratically ruled island to accept Chinese sovereignty, even though most Taiwanese have shown no interest in being governed by Beijing.

Why are Chinese police operating in Canada, while our own government and security services apparently look the other way?

In China, the high-profile TV drama In The Name Of The People has become a smash hit. In that show, Chinese agents enter the U.S. posing as businessmen so they can repatriate a factory manager who had fled abroad with huge ill-gotten wealth.

But a new study by the European non-governmental agency Safeguard Defenders suggests that there might be some truth to the fiction. According to the NGO, the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau has established more than 50 “overseas police service centres” in cities around the world – including three publicly documented ones in Toronto, home to Canada’s largest Chinese diaspora.

The High Court orders confiscation of Spark Alliance's 70 million

The High Court ordered the confiscation of 70 million from Spark Alliance, an organisation that helped raise funds for activists arrested in the anti-ELAB movement. The police stated that since two involved parties escaped, they applied for a court order for the condiscation, which the judge approved because it was in line with the law.

Spark Alliance was formed in 2016 after the Mongkok riot. During the movement in 2019, they raised funds to support arrested activists' legal and daily life needs. The police arrested 4 people from this organsiation on 19 Dec 2019, accusing them of money laundering and froze around 70 million.
