there's all these "small" tragedies against chinese people i'm still somehow surprised to learn about. the SEA stuff is especially saddening.

The reason the Chinese government forbids its nationals from possessing dual nationalities is because during the Indonesian pogrom against communists they saw all ethnic Chinese as communists (and thus murdered them) on account of the CPC.

I notice the collapsed Taiwanese building has anti-thief cages on all of the windows. It's going to be hard for people to find a hole to get out of the building.

China old buildings used to have these, but a lot of new buildings do away with it, either by local law or there has been alot less stealing in recent years.

The problem w the cage is that in the event of fire, people trapped on the balcony can't be saved.

The general assembly elections are days away now in South Korea. Excited to see just how strange things will get if Yoon gets put in extreme lame duck mode. He can still manage to veto everything and stop things from passing that way but if the libs get a big enough majority they'll start to pass things even through a veto. I expect there would be some serious poo poo with the prosecutors bringing charges against anyone and everyone.

https://www.blueroofpolitics.com/post/tbr-weekly-update-week-4-march-2024/

i am very skeptical of the extreme pessimism from right wing groups given that two cycles ago their lame duck was impeached and criminally prosecuted and three cycles ago he was a figure about as unpopular as she was even if he was more a competent bully than an incompetent goofus and as weve plainly seen liberals retaking power is always going to be a temporary obstacle at worst when theyre completely dismissive of the idea of meaningful structural change in the political system

On the 76th anniversary of the April 3rd Jeju Massacre the US finally acknowledges it.
Sounds pretty goddamn ominous considering it was their doing.

[단독] 미 국무부, 제주4·3에 첫 입장…“비극 잊으면 안 돼”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeju_uprising

The english version of the article is out now.
US calls Jeju April 3 Incident a ‘terrible tragedy’ in first statement on bloody history

[Column] Syngman Rhee’s bloody legacy in Jeju

quote:

On Nov. 17, 1948, Rhee proclaimed martial law on Jeju. Martial law was used not only to restrict civil rights but also as a weapon to justify the massacre of civilians. From that point on, punitive forces ramped up their scorched-earth operations, turning the island into a cacophony of countless screams.

The military police and the Northwest Youth Association, a right-wing paramilitary group, were unflagging in their efforts to eradicate communists, never wavering in their attempts to wipe out all of those they deemed “commies.” Villagers were rounded up, forced to kill their neighbors, and were not allowed to avert their eyes from the brutal scenes.

That was the reality of Jeju in 1948 and 1949. The word “inhumane” is utterly insufficient to describe the acts of savagery that took place there at the time.

According to a report by the US Provisional Military Advisory Group, in the five days following Nov. 24, 1948, the 9th Regiment killed 337 people and captured 332 in Jeju alone, despite only confiscating seven guns in total.

On Dec. 13 of the same year, the punitive forces sent in to suppress the island utilized around 3,000 police and civilians to kill 105 people in a single day. They ran amok, engaging in indiscriminate slaughter. The 2nd Regiment, which was sent to the region after the 9th Regiment, was equally brutal.

Despite the deaths of so many Jeju residents, Rhee doggedly pushed for a crackdown. In a Cabinet meeting held on Jan. 21, 1949, he said, “The US acknowledges the importance of Korea and is sympathetic. But the US’s assistance will only be possible with our accurate removal of the aftereffects of Jeju Incidents and Jeonnam Incidents and the dignity of law is needed at once by suppressing villains including local objectors and thieves.”

The atrocities did not end there. On Oct. 2, 1949, 249 people who had been sentenced to death by court-martial were executed in a mass execution at Jeju Airfield, which is now the site of Jeju International Airport, with Rhee’s approval.

The unrest in Jeju was coming to an end by that point, and the mass execution of over 240 souls was unprecedented. And yet, not a single word about this was reported in any press at the time.

Jeju was a lone island, isolated from the outside world, and its isolation was brought about and enforced by Rhee.

There are plans to construct a memorial hall for Rhee in central Seoul and erect a statue of him. If only we could hear the wails of all those lost Jeju souls, weeping in the afterlife.
