US hijacks UNGA, using Ukraine crisis as weapon to serve selfish purpose, attack others

The US President Joe Biden has once again turned the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) into a runway for touting US “leadership.” He has made the Ukraine crisis the spotlight of the gathering to shore up alliance of US-centered small cliques and used the crisis as a weapon to attack other countries at the meeting; whilst also covering up his cliché, hollow proposals for the Global South’s development, which is the main focus of this year’s UNGA.

Biden’s move of diverting the focus of UNGA has again assured Global South countries Washington’s lack of interest in helping developing nations, said Chinese experts.

Apart from the usual snarling at Russia, Biden also made what seemed like softened-tone remarks on China-US relation, as “to responsibly manage competition” between Beijing and Washington “so it does not tip into conflict.” In the eyes of Chinese experts, the US president’s words only show the White House now has few arrows in its quiver for handling the world’s most important bilateral relationship. They believe that although bilateral ties still have a “window of opportunity,” the US’ usual actions-don’t-match-words practice makes it harder to predict if Washington will take any action to improve ties.

Speaking at UNGA on Tuesday, Biden called on world leaders to not let support for Ukraine diminish, arguing that Russia is counting on countries to grow tired of a prolonged conflict in Kiev which will “allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence.”

He claimed that the world must remain united in defending Ukraine against Russia, warning that no nation can be secure if “we allow Ukraine to be carved up.”

Attempt to hijack UNGA

As expected, the US president has put the Russia-Ukraine crisis at the center stage at this year’s UNGA, despite the annual high-level General Debate themed “rebuilding trust and reigniting global solidarity.”

By emphasizing the Ukraine crisis, the US can successfully enhance alliance of its small cliques, and also use the topic to smear and crack down on other countries, hijacking the UNGA to serve as the US geopolitical weapon, Li Haidong, a professor at the China Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times.

It is also reported that Biden will urge the UN to expand the Security Council for the US to add countries including Germany and Japan to dilute influence of China and Russia.

European Council President Charles Michel will ask China directly at the United Nations Security Council to do more to push Russia toward a “just peace” in Ukraine, according to his draft speech seen by Reuters at the UNGA.

In a video circulating online, Biden fumbled when talking about the Russia-Ukraine crisis, mistaking the UN for the US: “If we abandon the core principles of the US (UN Charter) to appease an aggressor…”

Li said although the ongoing crisis is an urgent matter that awaits to be resolved, it is still not the top priority for most developing countries, who are counting on the UNGA to help them solve development dilemmas. “The US’ seeking of using such valuable platform to sow discord and tear up solidarity may invite resentment of the Global South,” Li noted.

Dennis Francis, president of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly who presided over the opening of the debate of this year’s UNGA, said on Tuesday that “I urge you, member states, to use this high-level week not to fan the flames of conflict and hostility, but instead, to opt for dialogue and diplomacy. We must remember that peace is an investment in our collective prosperity.”

While some progress had been made on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the SDG Summit is being convened on the sidelines of the General Debate in a context where there have been unacceptable delays and rollbacks, Francis noted.

Unfortunately, Biden, who touted US global leadership, has failed to offer substantial proposal to push for the development of the Global South. He simply said “we all need to do more” when it comes to accelerating global progress on the SDGs.

Lü Xiang, a US studies research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, described Biden’s speech as “hollow.” “The only applause he received was when he was talking about marshalling allies to defend Ukraine … Maybe this is the only thing he feels proud of. However it also revealed the fact that the US has little interest in Global South affairs.”

US stuck in bottleneck

“When it comes to China, let me be clear and consistent,” Biden said. “We seek to responsibly manage competition between our countries so it does not tip into conflict. I’ve said we are for de-risking – not decoupling – with China.”

Biden emphasized that Beijing and Washington need to cooperate on climate, and referenced recent natural disasters – devastating heat waves, droughts and floods – around the globe as part of a “snapshot” that tells the “urgent story of what awaits us if we fail to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and begin to climate-proof the world.”

When meeting with US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry on the sidelines of the UNGA on Tuesday, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng said that China will be unswervingly committed to working toward the dual target of peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality.

Maintaining China-US dialogue and cooperation on climate change is of great significance to both countries and the whole world, the Chinese Vice President said. China stands ready to strengthen communication, deepen cooperation with the United States and jointly advance climate governance so as to make greater contribution to human development, Han said.

Lü said to his surprise, Biden’s speech on China is rather short, and half of it was focused on climate change [the one area the two countries have relatively friendly cooperation]. He opined that the US has been discreet in its wording describing China-US ties.

The expert said the US has entered a bottleneck period in managing its ties with China. There are few arrows in US’ quiver of what remarks should be made, what actions should be committed toward China, and Washington is now under pressure of making such decisions.

The US always says one thing and does the other, so China is observing whether it will make concrete action in improving ties, said Lü, noting that although there is still a “window of opportunity” for bilateral ties, it is difficult to determine whether the US will take actions in pushing ties forward.

Before Biden’s speech, Han met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the sidelines of the UNGA, during which Han said a healthy and stable China-US relationship is good for the two countries and the world.

Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan also met in Malta on Saturday and Sunday, during which the two sides agreed to continue to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their meeting in Bali – maintain high-level exchanges, stabilize and improve China-US relations.

California Superior Court Judge Julie Tang reporting from HK on 9-20-23: Thanks Johnson. I’ll be visiting the Nanjing Museum with a group from the the Comfort Women “ Justice Coalition. We have partnered with the Nanjing Museum, the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation , and the Korean American community to produce an AI powered pilot program featuring an interactive interview with a “comfort woman” survivor. The program which has already been displayed at the Nanjing Museum for a trial period is run on a technological called “Dimension in Testimonies “ created by the USC Shoah Foundation. It allows a viewer to have a virtual interaction with a “comfort woman”survivor. This is a project that has taken us 5 years to create. CWJC initiated this effort before the pandemics. We brought in the author of “Chinese Comfort Women” Vassar University professor Pei Pei Qiu to be our project director to monitor and direct the program. We plan to deploy this program in the US after the successful launch of this project in the Nanjing Museum. We want the world to never forget the horrific history of the “comfort women” and using the technology to engage with and talk to them even long after they are gone. I’d love to buy one of the BYDs you mentioned but I doubt if the US would allow it to be imported. As an American consumer, I’m really pissed that we are severely deprived of access to the most essential and inexpensive technologies such as 5G and EV that are now available to the rest of the world. Our political leaders deploy tactics that our own law specifically prohibits, tactics called “unfair business practices and competition.” By putting a National Security label on these regulations we crush our competitors by any means necessary, and totally neglect the greater need of our citizens. Who do these leaders think they are serving? We need to demand availability to better communications technology, better and cheaper vehicles that young people can afford, better high speed rails that can take us around the country faster cheaper and safer. What have we gained in these last 5 years over China that has direct and indirect benefits to us Citizens? I can’t think of one thing. If someone does please let me know.

This Canadian PM probably a double agent against US, US & UK tried so hard to bring India to their camp to contain China, and this joker from Canada pushed India away. Did he studied history since he claimed to be a teacher!? Indian is a nation don’t like to lose face! And this Canadian joker slaps India’s leader face on world stage (he did that to Xi Jinping too)! India is not China. He is going to face serious consequences and push back! 這位加拿大總理可能是針對美國和英國的雙重間諜，美英兩國極力想把印度拉到他們的陣營來遏制中國，而這位來自加拿大的小丑卻把印度推開了。 他自稱是老師，懂得歷史嗎!? 印度人是個不喜歡丟臉的民族！ 這位加拿大小丑在世界舞台上打了印度領導人的臉（他也對習近平這麼做了)! 印度不是中國。 他將面臨嚴重的後果並反擊!

I had lunch with my good friend in Hawaii yesterday. He has just returned visiting Nanjing Massacre Museum in Nanjing. He said people carry HKID card go in FREE, and when he was there 3 weeks ago, tickets were sold out for 7 days. But he discovered a display said HKID card holders no need buy ticket, no need stand in line, even when tickets sold out, HKID card holders go in free!

He also check out electric cars while in Shenzhen. A BYD hybrid electric car only cost RMB$100,000 less than US$14,000. A very nice electric car that can travel up to 1,200km selling for US$20-25,000

我昨天和我的好朋友在夏威夷共進午餐。 他在南京參觀南京大屠殺紀念館回來。 他說持香港身分證的人可以免費入場，三週前他去的時候，門票已經售空7天了。 但他發現一個顯示，持香港身分證的人無需買票，無需排隊，即使門票售完，持香港身分證的人也可以免費入場！

他在深圳期間也參觀中國制造電動車。 一輛比亞迪混合動力車僅需10萬元人民幣，不到1.4萬美元。 一款非常漂亮的電動車，行駛里程可達 1,200 公里，售價 20-25,000 美元. 中國制造賣往全球🇨🇳

Sing Tao Daily, San Francisco, California, USA: Rosaryhill School high school in Hong Kong is closing and a shouting match breaks out 星島日報美國加州舊金山: 玫瑰崗中學停辦 爆隔空罵戰 2023-09-18

有64年歷史的玫瑰崗學校，辦學團體道明會日前決定把私營的小學部及幼稚園易手，屬津貼辦學的玫瑰崗中學則逐步停辦，觸發中學部師生及家長不滿，更與辦學團體「交火」。校長蘇佩婷昨發表聲明，批評辦團宣稱收生困難的說法不實及誤導家長，更披露辦團上周五始通知法團校董會，過程非常倉卒。教育局關注事件，敦促辦團及校方要充分保障學生福祉。
玫瑰崗中學校長蘇佩婷昨發表聲明，逐點反駁辦團道明會日前宣布停辦的決定。她批評辦團聲稱中學收生困難的停辦理由不實，強調學生人數持續增加，今學年中一級維持3班，高中3級更各設4班，同時招收插班生，「收生人數不降反升」，質疑辦團在家長信以「籠統的說法」誤導家長，令他們以為學校招生困難、入學率下跌，「明顯與事實不符」。她亦指中學屬政府資助的津校，沒有財務困難的問題，近年亦獲政府資助添置電子白板、大型LED顯示屏等教學設施。

批評通知過程倉卒不合理

蘇佩婷又批評，辦團通知各持份者停辦決定「非常緊逼且不合理」，她與副校長、家長教師會及舊生會上周四下午接獲通知，但負責管理學校，由不同持份者組成的法團校董會，卻在周五早上始獲通知，下午才通知教師及家長，翌日舉行家長大會，致有家長無法參加。她又指停辦對學生帶來壓力及負面情緒，初中生因憂慮高中轉校而感到沒有安全感，中三生更因轉校或無法得到公平選科的機會，校內非華語生亦難適應一般中學。

該校家教會昨亦向辦團及教育局發表公開信，批評停辦決定無充分諮詢師生及家長等持份者，要求安排全校學生在原校畢業，直到28/29學年結束，並保障中三生原校升讀高中。有不具名的教師向本報稱，辦團未交代如何善後，卻急於停辦屬津校的中學部，旨在把整個校舍交給道爾頓學校，「這樣做法是快刀斬亂麻，不仁不義，卻被包裝為愛戴我們師生」。他續稱，道明會把校舍交給沒有宗教背景的辦團，有違天主教辦學情神，教師擬向天主教香港教區求助。
家教會促安排學生原校畢業

據悉道明會內部已無魄力繼續辦學，遂物色天主教背景的辦團接手屬校，但未能成功。立法會教育界議員朱國強認為，當局應研究安排玫瑰崗中學，與理念相近的中學逐步合併，「讓學生逐步過渡至新校，安排較合理，對他們影響亦最少」；教育工作者工會主席黃建豪則認為，辦團事前未諮詢法團校董會，教師遣散安排等或未充分討論，「停辦不應該是辦學團體說了算」。

教育局昨晚回應指，十分關注事件，已敦促辦團及校方要充分保障學生的福祉，與持份者保持良好溝通，按需要向學生提供適切輔導和支援。當局會繼續與相關辦團及學校，保持溝通及提供協助。
