Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act: A Ruse & A Fraud 維吾爾族強迫勞動保護法：詭計與欺詐 by MARIO CAVOLO JUN 4 2024

Accusations of Uyghur force labor by the US government and anyone else are a pathetic political joke and every lawmaker in Washington knows it. It’s a fake ruse for a fake law to contain China, period. Virtually every foreign brand in Xinjiang did unannounced labor audits and FOUND NOTHING.

This is why the real name for the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act would properly be described as governance by lies. Let’s be clear friends, It is definitely a protection act, but its not there to protect Uyghurs from forced labor, its to protect American economy from letting businesses in Xinjiang grow and thrive and gain market share in their competitive industries which includes cotton, solar, lithium batters, textiles, electronics and more. That’s our topic for this episode of counterpoint china.

The real motivation here is two fold: 1. to simply stop the Chinese company competition and 2. To make anyone interested in doing business with those Chinese companies or investing in Xinjiang to feel afraid to do so and to stay away. That’s the bottom line, stay away from Xinjiang. And these goals are being met in the most unethical noncompetitive way possible, governance by lies, its being done by passing fake laws based on fake completely debunked accusations of Uyghur forced labor in Xinjiang.

Remember I do not make these videos to share my opinion. I am here to inform you that Skechers, Adidas, Nike, Apple, Tesla, John Deere and countless other companies….now read my lips friends…have never found forced labor violations. And if they did find forced labor violations, guess who would fine them?…the Chinese govt.

What the United States has done away with here is the presumption of innocence and replaced with the presumption of guilt. Its not designed to protect anyone, its designed to STOP business by making it too difficult to do business with those companies in that region.

Let’s take an example we can explain to any 12 year old young student, Living here in China, I love imported Italian food. If I could buy imported Italian tomatoes from a company in Naples or a from a company in Bologna, but the company in Bologna required me to prove that my employees aren’t Uyghur forced labor slave by submitting 30 pages of documentation to be reviewed, I’m not going to do that, so Bologna loses the business. The businessmen in Bologna certainly don’t like it but it’s the govt’s new law so they’ll go out of business.

And that’s exactly what the U.S. is causing. They’re saying they’re interested in protecting Uyghurs but what they’re actually doing is ruining their lives, causing the Uyghur family bread winners just working to provide for their families to lose their jobs! You might recall over two years ago I personally researched and produced one of the first short documentaries about the Uyghurs in Xinjiang to debunk this nonsense.

As usual, and as is the case in so many other areas, there’s a reason trust and satisfaction in what the US. Govt says and does is at an all time low. Besides endlessly fomenting and provoking wars all around the world like their now doing in Ukraine and Gaza, they endless engage in governance by lying, endless political propaganda, it’s a malevolent propaganda circus at best. They are not governing for the American people or anyone else. They’re not governing for democracy or freedom or anyone’s human rights including Uyghur Muslims. They’re governing for the interests of the banks and oligarchs, they’re governing for power & control.

Princeton University’s study on governance in America concluded all too easily the interests of the people are virtually ignored as the politicians legislate and pass new laws like this Uyghur Force Labor Protection Act which is a pile of legislative garbage and fraud. Don’t be fooled.

China Releases Annual Report on Worsening U.S. Human Rights Violations 中國發布關於美國侵犯人權行為惡化的年度報告 by MARIO CAVOLO JUN 4 2025

China has called on the US to take concrete measures to tackle its human rights problems to respond to the expectations of both the American people and many in the international community. The statement is part of a new report issued by the Chinese government on Wednesday. The report says human rights situation in the US continued to deteriorate in 2023, well who hasn’t noticed this?

So, is this China conducting a smear campaign against the United States? No, not at all. Its just you and me and China and the rest of the world watching this societal nightmare, the divide has just gotten wider & wider and the situation just gets worse and worse. Welcome to this episode of CounterPoint China. If you appreciate my work subscribe to the counterpoint china newsletter and feel free to click on my Twitter profile link to Buy Me A Coffee.

The US government has failed and abandoned its social contract with the people to govern for the society and for the people, to insure that the govt itself has laws and policies and proper enforcement of those laws & policies to create for the people a fundamentally safe, stable society, like we have here in China. No guns, no drugs, no homelessness, for example, our child with his elderly grandmother feeling free 24 hours a day to walk out on the streets. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or lower income or even living out in the countryside farming villages, everyone feels safe.

But back in America, many don’t feel safe at all, civil rights and political rights have been reduced to your publicly screaming and protesting into a vacuum, the govt completely ignoring you and then sicking the police on you who are now outfitted in military gear. Its worse than ever, for example, as we watch today Zionist Israel has used US bombs to slaughter babies in Rafah and what we get is not even apology. STOP slaughtering children, it’s a flagrant despicable human rights violation, is it not?

And yet the Biden administration keeps smiling at you and saying sorry, we’re not going to stop, we don’t want a ceasefire, we don’t care about human rights. I’m sad, I’m appalled, I’m dismayed and I’m angry. In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, the well known academic, diplomat, economist and Harvard & Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs said he feels resentful that his govt is threatening and risking everyone’s lives instead of pursuing peace for the world. Is this supposed to be the behavior of the world’s global superpower who says it stands for democracy, freedom & human rights? Obviously not. I encourage you to watch that brand new interview just published yesterday.

Let’s be clear, The United States is not a democracy, its an oligarchy and this govt nightmare began rolling down the tracks post Reagan in the 1990s. I remember over 30 years ago my father and I starting to notice and discuss as we were observing the state of the country becoming increasingly polarized and unstable, and we were noticing even back then that the govt was creating these circumstances on purpose, they were passing new laws to piss everyone off to make it harder for family households rooted in marriage to survive & thrive. Why would they do that?

Since then the situation has relentlessly continued to deteriorate, human rights including the human rights of Americans seems to be the very last thing they care about, unless of course you’re rich. America is terrific if you’re living in that protective comfortable upper middle class bubble or higher making at least $100,000 a year. But what about everyone else?

The new report released by China is drawing attention to a range of issues in the US including gun violence, police brutality, forced labor of prisoners, election manipulation, income inequality worse than ever leading to epidemic drug addiction and overdoses, suicides, violent crime, insane levels of homelessness, racism and bigotry is spreading more, and against women, discrimination against pregnancy. Get pregnant? Women still have no maternity rights. Get pregnant lose your job, its that simple. How’s that for supporting family households, marriage & family values? Its almost as if the govt wants the society to be unstable and chaotic.

According to the report, a ruling minority is holding political, economic, and social dominance in the US, but the majority of average people are increasingly marginalized, with their basic rights and freedoms being disregarded. Princeton university’s study confirmed that the people are ignored…Inflation is destroying life for the common low income/middle income class. They are and have been for decades governing for Wall Street, Big Pharma, the Miliary Industrial Complex, for CEO pay, not for households and it is an inflationary monetary policy driven phenomenon…This is not an accident, its not out of control…its exactly the outcome they chose and are creating and are controlling.

I asked earlier, if this is my opinion or if this is just a smear campaign by China against the U.S.? It is not a smear campaign when you are simply observing and explaining what is true and deeply concerning, when what we are all seeing with our own eyes is rooted in apodeictic, known measurable observable facts which are beyond dispute….a smear campaign is lies such as the anti China lies, that China is genociding Uyghurs, using Uyghur forced labor, has taken away civil rights in Hong Kong, that China oppresses and persecutes people practicing their religions…all of those accusations are a smear campaign because they are simply not true…truth is not a smear campaign, its an assessment of reality.

Their efforts to continue to somehow maintain American dominance at the expense of many other things including human rights, they’ve lost a lot of respect across the world. As Jeffrey Sachs well said during his interview yesterday, the level of trust in government is extraordinarily low…that low trust has unfortunately been amply deserved.

What is the difference between filial piety and foolish filial piety? 孝順和愚孝的分別在那裡? 孝順和愚孝𡯁其是在那些重男輕女的家庭意味著什麼? 父親不理女兒死活, 母親也是受害者被迫墨墨地支持. 家裡的女人成為男人父親兄弟的奴隸, 成為免費家奴, 在今天現代社會這種封建時代惡習不幸還存在. 而且毀滅了不少女兒的家庭.

我父親在1900年出生也是重男輕女，都是為了蔡家性士吧！父親生了七男三女，但他懂得兒女都要得到公平的教育，這方面對兒女是一視同仁，不讀書者在蔡家視為廢物，兒女必須在二十二歲大學畢業後搬離父母的家，學習獨立自主生存，不做寄生蟲. 這是父親從小就給予我們的教訓. 所以我們從小時候就努力讀書不能成為蔡家第一名寄生蟲.

孝顺和愚孝的区别在于，孝顺是我国优秀传统文化和中华美德的体现，是体现我们的责任感和担当。而愚孝不同，愚孝简单来说是愚蠢的表现，是全部以父母为中心的思想。

儒家提倡孝，特别是在汉代，大都以“孝”治天下。每一个皇帝去世以后，在谥号前都加一个孝字，如孝文皇帝、孝武皇帝等。

对于孝顺一词，我们理应百善孝为先，完全有理由看出孝顺在我国中华美德中占据的重要位置，孝顺是社会责任感的体现，“孝顺”一词原来是指敬爱天下所有的人，后来专门指对父母尽心奉养。

但对于愚孝一词，我们直接想到的是愚蠢。愚孝的人是完完全全听从父母的话，完全忽视了父母的话是否需要是正确的，有道理的这个最大的前提。

虽然说儒家思想提倡凡事以孝为先，但不明是非，不辨真假对错的孝，就成为了真真切切的愚孝。
