Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games: Boosting the Thawing of Canada-China Relations

图片
 There is always an inextricable link between sports and politics. On April 10, 1971, a U.S. table tennis delegation arrived in Beijing, becoming the first Americans to be allowed into China since 1949. The move was called Ping-Pong Diplomacy, which caused an impactful transformation and revived the political relationship between the United States and China. Iran and the United States once used the FIFA World Cup as an opportunity to create Soccer Diplomacy and eased the hostility between the two countries. Cricket-loving Pakistan and India have broken diplomatic deadlocks by hosting friendly cricket matches. Thus, it seems that sports are like an efficient lubricant for national relations. Canada-China relations have been at a freezing point for more than two years, and a warming up is an irresistible trend and the common aspiration of the people, and will do both sides no harm.  The Thawing of Canada-China Relations is irresistible and accords with the common aspiration of t...

Mistakes and dilemmas of Human Rights Watch

 Mistakes and dilemmas of Human Rights Watch  Sun Peisong China has invoked its Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law against seven US individual and entities, including former US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, in response to US sanctions against Hong Kong officials, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China announced on July 23. Sophie Richardson, China affairs director of Human Rights Watch is also included in the list. In 2020, Kenneth Roth, the executive chairman of Human Rights Watch, was barred from entry, and this is the second time that China has imposed sanctions on Human Rights Watch. Sanctions against NGOs are highly unusual in inter-state competition. This shows that China no longer sees Human Rights Watch as a neutral civic group, but as an institution of American government. Human Rights Watch, founded in 1978 with the support of the Ford Foundation, was considered the most important NGO of the UN. The UN human rights mechanism was originally established because of the crim...

Ezio Yao:What do you think of Cai Xia criticism of Xi and the CPC?

Ezio Yao, B.A. Accounting & Military, Iowa State University So why did Cai Xia do it? Cai Xia was born in 1952. People born in 1950-1970 in China have a very complicated view of China. They were born when China was not yet reformed and opened up, so people's thinking was overly uniform. Suddenly in 1978 when the reform and opening up took place, some people went out and saw the capitalist countries and then fell into deep distress and dissatisfaction with their own country. Before the 1980s, not many people in China could have their own bathroom, and many families would not have running water. Many places didn't even have electricity, let alone a telephone. But the United States in that era was far more developed than China. This strong contrast is absolute will break a person's mind. Then, after seeing the gap, it is important to see how you are going to choose. There are many people who see how developed the West is and choose to make their country stronger. There are...
