Queensland Police investigating top Chinese diplomat after complaint from Aussie uni student

 

 

Queensland Police have launched an investigation into a top Chinese diplomat for allegedly inciting violent threats against an Australian university student.

A spokesperson confirmed to news.com.au that inquiries centring on Dr Xu Jie, the Consul-General for the People’s Republic of China in Brisbane, had commenced following a formal complaint lodged by Drew Pavlou. Mr Pavlou, an undergraduate student at The University of Queensland, alleges that a public statement issued by Dr Xu on July 25 last year described him as a “separatist” and opened him up to graphic death threats and vile abuse.

The remarks by the Consul-General were in response to a protest held the day before at UQ’s St Lucia campus, organised by the 20-year-old.

He and a group of between 15 and 20 other students gathered to speak out against Beijing’s anti-democracy efforts in Hong Kong, the treatment of the Uighur minority, and the university’s close ties with China.

2018.04.24 Minitrue: Stop Showing “Amazing China” Film

 

Minitrue: Stop Showing “Amazing China” Film 

The following  instructions, issued to the media by government authorities, have been leaked and distributed online.

Urgent notice from the Central Propaganda Department: All commercial video sites, immediately stop showing "Amazing China." (April 24) [Chinese]

"Amazing China" is a 90-minute showcase of China’s technological, scientific, and economic achievements during ’s first five-year term, released to coincide with this year’s National People’s Congress. It quickly became the highest-grossing documentary ever in China, buoyed, as the Elephant Room newsletter noted, by mandatory screenings for "government agencies, state enterprises, schools and all the other ‘in-system’ organizations," manipulation of online reviews, and orchestrated promotional campaigns enlisting an array of celebrities and online platforms. One instruction in a six-part directive issued by Henan’s provincial propaganda department on March 7, and subsequently published by CDT, ordered recipients to "continue to expand the promotion of the Amazing China documentary."

Sorry, Titts, no Hollywood ... Here is the real 'wood':

 

 

US Blocks Visas For Chinese Officials & Their Families Over Hong Kong Crackdown

Major shot across the bow after China warned of "red lines crossed"...

 

 

In the fast escalating tit-for-tat Washington blitz on China, the Trump administration Friday announced sanctions on top Chinese Communist officials which bar them and even their family members from entering the United States.

It's a severe punitive move for Beijing's recent crackdown on Hong Kong's autonomy. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in announcing the measure - a major shot across the bow no doubt - as part of "carrying out the President's orders" further consistent with a congressional law. 

The new visa restriction measures will apply to current and former top Chinese Communist Party officials “who are believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy.”

Via CNN

 

“The United States calls on China to honor its commitments and obligations in the Sino-British Joint Declaration – namely that Hong Kong will ‘enjoy a high degree of autonomy’ and that human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly, will be protected by law and respected by governing authorities in Hong Kong,” Pompeo's statement said.

Congress last year passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, requiring the administration to review whether mainland China was respecting and upholding Hong Kong sovereignty, and if not, impose sanctions. 

Earlier Chinese officials warned of "red lines" if the White House carries through with its promised punitive measures. 

As we reported earlier, the US bill imposing mandatory sanctions on Chinese individuals and entities who “materially contribute to the contravention of China’s obligations” to Hong Kong’s autonomy - and banks that do “significant transactions” with them - was passed unanimously by the Senate on Thursday, with the House of Representatives working on its own version; the final bill gets passed to President Trump, who either signs it or vetoes it - in which case it has a veto-proof majority anyway. This, as Rabobank's Michael Every wrote, is the constitutional dynamic that has been described several times in the last 12 months for China-focused bills with serious consequences for not just international relations, but international business and finance.
