OMINOUS  SIGNALS  FROM  CHINESE REGIME


               As the CCP has turned 100 in July, thoughts are now turning to the party's vision for the next 

hundred years: which, under Xi is "a Han male, Beijing-centric definition of what it means to be 

Chinese". Across China, minority languages are being purged from schools, workplaces and media, 

while Mandarin education is universalized. Mandatory birth control and incentivized interethnic 

marriage dilute the size and concentration of minorities. The persecution of other minority groups

in China is just like the early stage of what Uighurs went thru. China's strongest leader since

Mao Zedong is convinced that only aggressive subjugation could prevent China from following the

USSR into balkanization along ethnic seams.


               Under Xi, "ideological education" has been ramped up across China, most intensely in areas  

of historic resistance. The textbooks stress that Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan and the South China Sea are 

indivisible parts of Chinese territory. China is also trying to get rid of the Mongolian minority within its 

borders. Freedom of religion, long suppressed in China is now being squeezed to the limit. The 

demolition or "rectification" of mosques and shrines is being ramped up across China. The PRC is a

totalitarian regime that's become more internally repressive and more externally aggressive. The irony,

of course, is that repression is ordered by Xi himself.

                                                            ATTITUDE           In our life and death  there are very few things we can control. Our mental attitude is one of those things which we can relatively control. Our attitude toward things and  people plays a large role in our being happy or miserable.           Some of our suffering is caused by being bothered about what other people think or  talk about  us. Think: "other people's feelings or opinions do not touch my skin. Why  should   I be bothered? It is OK if some people do not like me. So what?"           We often make ourselves miserable by brooding about regrets and resentments  of the past: Why did my father always put me down? Why did I not get admission to a...

                                                TO BE GRATEFUL  &  TO BE FORGIVING                Remembering somebody who has enriched our life, with a sense of gratitude, gives a  soothing feeling to our heart. From our parents, our teachers, great writers, to inspiring leaders:  frequently and sincerely expressing our gratefulness to those who have helped us in any way, brings  peace to our mind.                Another thing to do to be happier is to let go of past resentments. To forgive someone who may have offended us in the past is a wise thing to do. Just as carrying a light luggage in travel  makes our journey more comfortable, reducing vengefulness toward  persons who may have caused us  a grief at some point in life, relieves us of a bu...

ISM      Ism is an ideology held with such fervor by its believers that it leads them to forcefully oppose any system which differs from their own. History is replete with such ideologies and they are prevalent even today. The genocide of Jews that took place in Europe during the middle of twentieth century under Hitler's Nazism (belief in Aryan Supremacy) still makes our heart tremble with disbelief. Under Stalin's communist rule in Soviet Union, millions of innocent people lost their lives. During the campaign of collective farming enforced in 1950s under Mao's communism, hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation or systematic killing in China.      We have witnessed the collapse of communist economic system near the end of twentieth century. We have also seen deep recession that occurred in U.S.A. in 2008, when capitalist market system was allowed to run without any checks.      No one holds monopoly on truth. Mahatma Gandhi's lif...
