VOL.74 In a speech at the Bundestag a day before an EU summit, Ms. Merkel vowed to bring up rights issues and Germany’s worries over the situation in the former British colony in any future dialogue with Beijing. “Of course, we have to bring up our different opinions in talks,” said Ms. Merkel, whose country currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. “That’s why we have flagged up our deep concern about the development in Hong Kong. The principle of one country, two systems stands but again and again it’s being undermined. “We will bring that up, as well as the poor and cruel treatment in part of the rights of the minorities in China.” She did not name the minorities bearing the brunt of poor treatment but activists have accused China over the mass internment of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. More than one million ethnic Uighurs and other minorities have been herded into internmentaspirantforum.com camps to undergo political indoctrination, according to rights groups and experts. China insists the camps are training centres aimed at providing education to reduce the allure of Islamic radicalism. Beijing is also under fire over a security law it imposed on Hong Kong in June that National radically increased its control over the financial hub and led to a brutal crackdown on dissent.

OCTOBER 2020 Trump, Biden clash in chaotic first debate VOL.74 U.S. President Donald Trump and his opponent, Democratic nominee Joe Biden, clashed in their first presidential debate night — an interaction characterised by chaos and acrimony, not seen before in recent debate history. This was caused primarily by Mr. Trump repeatedly talking over Mr. Biden, interrupting him and attempting to commandeer the debate from the moderator. During the debate, Mr. Trump failed to denounce White supremacists when provided an opportunity to do so and sought to undermine the legitimacy of the November elections, in which an unusually high number of Americans are expected to vote by mail, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When he was asked to condemn White supremacism and armed militias, specifically the Proud Boys — a group of men who call themselves “western chauvinists” — Mr. Trump said, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I’ll tell you what... somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left.” Members of the group aspirantforum.com celebratedaspirantforum.com the comment on social media. Mr. Trump repeatedly tried to throw Mr. Biden off balance, including by insinuating that Mr. Biden was controlled by the “radical left” or by bringing his son Hunter Biden — whose relationship with the government of Ukraine had been questioned by Republicans during the Trump impeachment hearings — into the discussion. ‘Putin’s puppy’ National The debate had frequent acrimonious exchanges, with Mr. Biden visibly frustrated by Mr. Trump’s interruptions. At one point, Mr. Biden called Mr. Trump a “clown” and at another, said, “Will you shut up, man?” He also called Mr. Trump, “Putin’s puppy”, referring to Russian Visit aspirantforum.com for Guidance and Study Material for IAS Exam aspirantforum.com THE CRUX OF THE HINDU AND PIB President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Trump questioned Mr. Biden’s intelligence at one point. “Show us your tax returns,” Mr. Biden said when Mr. Trump was asked if he paid only $750 in federal OCTOBER income taxes in 2016 as reported by the New York Times . 2020 Mr. Trump challenged Mr. Biden to say “law and order”. Mr. Biden said it but also VOL.74 said, “with justice where people are treated fairly”. In recent months, the U.S. has witnessed mass protests set off by police killings and violence against African Americans. Some of these have been violent. Mr. Biden has supported the right to protests but has condemned the violence. Mr. Trump, keen to win the suburban women demographic, repeated a claim — one with racist undertones — that the Democrats under Mr. Biden were out to destroy suburbs. “He wouldn’t know a suburb unless he took a wrong turn,” Mr. Biden said. “This is not 1950... all these dog whistles and racism don’t work any more.” Mr. Trump, who has been making unsubstantiated claims on fraud around mail-in ballots, was asked by the debate moderator, Chris Wallace, if he would urge his supporters to stay calm and not engage in “civil unrest” as the election was being decided. The President used the opportunity to once more cast doubt on the legitimacy of theaspirantforum.com election. He also urged poll-watchers to go into the polls and “watch very carefully”, and said the Supreme Court would need to look at the ballots. “I hope it’s going to be a fair election. If it’s a fair election, I am a 100% on board,” Mr. Trump said. “But if I see tens of thousands of ballots being manipulated, I can’t go along with that.” There is no evidence of mail-in voting being a source of National significant election fraud. Republican and Democrat-run States use the process and Mr. Trump has used it personally to cast his vote in the past. From time to time in the debate, Mr. Biden looked directly at the cameras and addressed the American public. He said Mr. Trump was trying to dissuade people from voting by scaring them into thinking their vote was not going to be legitimate.

    HÀNWÉN AND TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: A GENEALOGY OF LANGUAGE POLICIES IN TAIWAN, 1895-1945 By Hsuan-Yi Huang A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Teaching, and Educational Policy—Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT HÀNWÉN AND TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: A GENEALOGY OF LANGUAGE POLICIES IN TAIWAN, 1895-1945 By Hsuan-Yi Huang This historical dissertation is a pedagogical project. In a critical and genealogical approach, inspired by Foucault’s genealogy and effective history and the new culture history of Sol Cohen and Hayden White, I hope pedagogically to raise awareness of the effect of history on shaping who we are and how we think about our self. I conceptualize such an historical approach as effective history as pedagogy, in which the purpose of history is to critically generate the pedagogical effects of history. This dissertation is a genealogical analysis of Taiwanese subjectivities under Japanese rule. Foucault’s theory of subjectivity, constituted by the four parts, substance of subjectivity, mode of subjectification, regimen of subjective practice, and telos of subjectification, served as a conceptual basis for my analysis of Taiwanese practices of the self-formation of a subject. Focusing on language policies in three historical events: the New Culture Movement in the 1920s, the Taiwanese Xiāngtǔ Literature Movement in the early 1930s, and the Japanization Movement during Wartime in 1937-1945, I analyzed discourses circulating within each event, particularly the possibilities/impossibilities created and shaped by discourses for Taiwanese subjectification practices. I illustrate discursive and subjectification practices that further shaped particular Taiwanese subjectivities in a particular event.

  • China's Great Power Play Puts Asia on Edge
    9/16/2020 China’s great power play puts Asia on edge | Financial Times Chinese politics & policy China’s great power play puts Asia on edge Domestic insecurity, ambition and the pandemic blamed for Beijing’s belligerence China’s defence budget has increased by double digits every year for the past two decades © Kyodo News/Getty James Kynge in Hong Kong, Kathrin Hille in Taipei, Christian Shepherd in Beijing and Amy Kazmin in New Delhi 3 HOURS AGO China’s southern and eastern reaches are ringed with anxiety, raising fears of conflict sparked by miscalculation or even by design. The potential flashpoints are familiar: Taiwan; disputed islands in the South China and East China Seas; and India’s Himalayan border. What is unusual is that tensions have risen in unison and some commentators have warned that there are risks of military flare-ups potentially involving the US. “Since China and the United States are nuclear powers, the risk of a direct war between the two countries is still very small, but small-scale military conflicts do happen,” said Yan Xuetong at Tsinghua University, one of China’s most influential academics. “There is a qualitative difference in scale between a direct war and military conflicts,” Mr Yan said via email. “The core conflict between China and the United States is power competition and the smaller the power gap between the two, the more intense the competition will be.” https://www.ft.com/content/de4df609-2599-47cb-ba37-0b754d4f3b57 1/7 9/16/2020 China’s great power play puts Asia on edge | Financial Times But why is Beijing’s assertiveness intensifying on its periphery even as its relationship with the US shifts from strategic competition towards outright hostility? Analysts ascribe the tougher edge to a confluence of domestic insecurity after crackdowns in regions such as Hong Kong and Xinjiang, great power ambitions fuelled by the leadership of Xi Jinping, and a touch of opportunism afforded by the coronavirus pandemic.

About RAND Australia RAND Australia’s mission is to help improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. RAND’s publications do not necessarily reflect the opinions of its research clients and sponsors.

For more information on this publication, visit www.rand.org/t/RRA1074-1 Preface The purpose of this report is to examine how China’s approach to deterrence signalling is evolving along with its expanding objectives, growing military capabilities, and the availability of new communication channels, such as Chinese- and English-language social media. As China’s pursuit of its goals becomes more assertive, one critically important question for analysts and policymakers in Australia, the United States, and other regional countries is how to interpret China’s changing approach to deterrence signalling. This report is intended to contribute to a better understanding of deterrence and countercoercion across domains in the Indo-Pacific region at a time of increased friction and strategic competition with China.

  • Antibiotics in WWTP Discharge Into the Chaobai River, Beijing
    Archives of Environmental Protection PL ISSN 2083-4772 Vol. 42 no. 4 pp. 48–57 DOI 10.1515/aep-2016-0036 © Copyright by Polish Academy of Sciences and Institute of Environmental Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Zabrze, Poland 2016 Antibiotics in WWTP discharge into the Chaobai River, Beijing Zhang Chunhui*, Wang Liangliang, Gao Xiangyu, He Xudan China University of Mining & Technology (Beijing), China School of Chemical & Environmental Engineering * Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Keywords: antibiotics, PPCPs, WWTP, BAF, advanced treatment. Abstract: 22 representative antibiotics, including 8 quinolones (QNs), 9 sulfonamides (SAs), and 5 macrolides (MCs) were selected to investigate their occurrence and removal effi ciencies in a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and their distribution in the receiving water of the Chaobai River in Beijing, China. Water quality monitoring was performed in an integrated way at different selected points in the WWTP to explore the potential mechanism of antibiotics removal during wastewater treatment. Water quality of the Chaobai River wa s also analyzed to examine environmental distribution in a river ecosystem. The results showed that within all the 22 compounds examined, 10 antibiotics were quantifi ed in wastewater infl uent, 10 in effl uent, and 7 in river.
