The Liberia leader and delegation returned to Beijing at 8:00 p.m. (Chinese time) Monday evening to continue with activities marking the second State Visit of President Sirleaf to China. Fujian Province is the home of the current President of the People’s Republic of China, H.E. Xi Jinping and former Chinese Ambassador to Liberia Lee Songtiang. The Liberian leader’s two-day visit to Fujian Province was intended to strengthen economic cooperation with the province and attract investors in the agriculture sector particularly fisheries and fruit juice production. She also used the occasion to further consolidate political cooperation and collaboration with the provincial government. During brief discussions with executives of the various companies during the tour, an interactive session ensued on how these companies can explore the Liberian market with their vast experience, advanced technologies and enhance economic cooperation was proposed. President Sirleaf later held talks with local officials including the Secretary General of the Chinese Communist Party and Governor of the Fujian Province, You Quan; Vice Governor Zheng Xiaosong; Major Pei Jin Jia and others on Monday, November 2, 2015. This was followed by a banquet hosted by the Xiamen Municipal Government. .

January 2016 NEWS COVERAGE PERIOD JANUARY 25TH TO JANUARY 31ST, 2016 PROTESTERS DEMAND PROPER SHARE FOR GB IN CPEC Dawn, January 25th, 2016 ISLAMABAD: A large number of people belonging to Gilgit-Baltistan, including members of the area’s legislative assembly, on Sunday held a protest demonstration in front of National Press Club demanding proper share in China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). They also demanded that GB should be declared the fifth province of Pakistan so that the people of the backward area could get their basic rights. The protest was organised by the Youth of Gilgit-Baltistan, a non-political platform representing the youth of the area. Speaking on the occasion, member of the legislative assembly, Kacho Imtiaz, said people of GB could not get their basic rights even after 68 years. “We had passed a resolution in the legislative assembly that there should be three hubs of CPEC in GB but only one station is being given to us for loading and unloading of goods. Moreover, no industrial zone is being set up in GB,” he complained. Another MLA, Haji Rizwan, said basic rights should be ensured for the people of GB. “Moreover, the government of PML-N should implement the National Action Plan (NAP) in its letter and spirit and take action against terrorists instead of using the law for its own benefits,” he said. The protesters also demanded that Gilgit-Baltistan should get representation in the National Assembly, Senate and the National Finance Commission. Talking to Dawn, chairman of the GB Youth’s coordination committee, Hasnain Kazmi, said the government should give basic rights to the people of GB.

Yang Obeys, but the Yin Ignores: Copyright Law and Speech Suppression in the People's Republic of China
UCLA UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal Title The Yang Obeys, but the Yin Ignores: Copyright Law and Speech Suppression in the People's Republic of China Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4j750316 Journal UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal, 29(1) Author McIntyre, Stephen Publication Date 2011 DOI 10.5070/P8291022233 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California THE YANG OBEYS, BUT THE YIN IGNORES: COPYRIGHT LAW AND SPEECH SUPPRESSION IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA Stephen McIntyret ABSTRACT Copyright law can either promote or restrict free speech: while copyright preserves economic incentives to create and pub- lish new expression, it also fences off expression from public use. For this reason, the effect of copyright law on speech in a given country depends on the particular manner in which it is under- stood, legislated, and enforced. This Article argues that copyright law in the People's Repub- lic of China (PRC) serves as a tool for speech suppression and censorship. Whereas China has engaged in official censorship for thousands of years, there has historically been little appreciation for proprietary rights in art and literature. Just as China's early twentieth century attempts to recognize copyright overlapped with strict publication controls, the PRC's modern copyright regime embodies the view that copyright is a mechanism for policing speech and media. The decade-long debate that preceded the PRC's first copy- right statute was shaped by misunderstanding,politics, ideology, and historicalforces. Scholars and lawmakers widely advocated that Chinese copyright law discriminate based on media content and carefully circumscribe authors' rights.

“China's Digital Authoritarianism: Surveillance, Influence, And
“China’s Digital Authoritarianism: Surveillance, Influence, and Political Control” May 16, 2019 Hearing Before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Prepared statement by Peter Mattis Research Fellow, China Studies Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation * * * I. OVERVIEW Chairman Schiff, Ranking member Nunes, distinguished members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me to appear before you. The Chinese Communist Party’s influence and, particularly, its political interference in the United States is an important topic as we establish a new baseline for U.S.-China relations. Any sustainable, long-term strategy for addressing China’s challenge requires the integrity of U.S. political and policymaking processes. This requires grappling with the challenges posed by the party’s efforts to shape the United States by interfering in our politics and domestic affairs. The United States, its political and business elite, its thinkers, and its Chinese communities have long been targets for the Chinese Communist Party. The party employs tools that go well beyond traditional public diplomacy efforts. Often these tools lead to activities that are, in the words of former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, corrupt, covert, and/or coercive. Nevertheless, many activities are not covered by Turnbull’s three “Cs” but are still concerning and undermine the ability of the United States to comprehend and address Beijing’s challenge. Here are a few of the ways in which the Chinese Communist Party has shaped the ways in which Americans discuss, understand, and respond to the People’s Republic of China, its rise, and its activities: ● We have been persuaded that the Chinese Communist Party is not ideological and has substituted its Leninist tradition for a variation of capitalism.

G20 Summit Fails to Resolve Global Trade, Currency Conflicts
G20 summit fails to resolve global trade, currency conflicts By Barry Grey Region: Asia Global Research, November 14, 2010 Theme: Global Economy World Socialist Web Site 13 October 2010 The G20 summit of leading economies held in Seoul, South Korea concluded Friday without any agreement on policies to bridge differences over global currency and trade issues that have grown increasingly bitter in recent weeks. President Barack Obama failed to obtain a consensus to demand that China allow its currency, the renminbi (also known as the yuan), to appreciate more rapidly. But the US continued to defend its policy of printing hundreds of billions of dollars, dismissing complaints from countries ranging from Germany, Japan and China to Brazil, Thailand and South Africa that Washington is deliberately devaluing the dollar in order to obtain a trade advantage over its competitors. The US cheap-dollar policy has been compounded by the Federal Reserve’s decision last week to launch a second round of “quantitative easing,” effectively printing dollars to purchase $600 billion in US Treasury securities. The flood of US dollars is driving up the exchange rates of major exporters such as Germany and Japan as well as of more rapidly growing emerging economies in Latin America, Asia and Africa. The Fed’s policy is generating waves of speculative money that are destabilizing the emerging economies, creating asset bubbles and the danger of rapid inflation. The run-up to the two-day summit, the fifth G20 meeting of heads of government since the financial crash of September 2008, was marked by unusually blunt and public recriminations, with the world’s biggest exporters, China and Germany, in particular, accusing the US of currency manipulation and protectionism.
