Hello Everybody,

In just a few recent days, we have more than 10 thousand signatures, many of you are from Myanmar. While I know that there is a lot of sharing and support, even financial, to the Petition, I can’t know these details so that I can thank directly for each support. 

I am very happy if you want to be in contact with me. If so please do via my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/letrungtinh/ or on Livenguide, a social network that I created with some other social activists: https://www.livenguide.com/user/1188-le-trung-tinh.html 

We are soon reaching 60 thousand signatories!

60 thousand supporters from all around the world for the same cause: to call for the removal of China from the UN Security Council. 

60 thousand people who share that China does not deserve to be in this important position in the World 's key organisation whose Purposes are “to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person”. 

And I am sure that we are not only 60 thousand.

By signing and sharing more and more the Petition, we are not against Chinese or whatsoever countries.

But we are for the People, who live in Tibet, Xinjiang; we are for the Uyghurs, the Honkongers, and all other persecuted Chinese. We are for people in Myanmar, Vietnam, the Philippines, India, the UK as well as the US and even Australia. 

Please keep sharing. 

Together We can.

Thank you

Thank you bác Song Phan for your recent writings on The Invention of China by Bill Hayton. Although I know that bac Song's status should be very interesting, I tried not to read them but use them as a reminder that I need to read Hayton.

And this is today that I have the occasion to read the book. You can find it on Google book at a very good price of around £6 or 8 USD. It is good written, easy to understand so far. What we can learn now from the book is that all the notions of China, its historic vast empire, its 5000 year long history and rich culture are a combination of myth and "invention" by very recent intellectuals dated from the begining of 20th century. This invention was used later by both Chiang Khai Shek, Mao Zedong, and is now applied frequently by some Chinese leader named Xi as a way to raise nationalism among Chinese.

As explained by the author, this notion of invention of China is not at all a way to belittle China, there is no need for that Many countries went through these inventions process like Italy, France and Britain. However it is always useful to see thing as it is rather than as propagated by the current leading party of China.

And it is good to know that China, well before colonised by the West, had been invaded and governed by Manchu tribes from the North East. The following Qing dynasty had the ritual of chasing pigs around the most sacred places in the middle of Beijing. Always interesting to learn history as it was, or at least as much as possible...
