#Death #Czech #Senator #ChineseAmbassador
Is the Chinese ambassador connected to the death of the late Czech President of the Senate?

“The Czech president and the Chinese Consulate General did not want him to visit Taiwan...and then he died.” A major political scandal was exposed in the Czech Republic on 27 April. The Czech political guru who participated in the Velvet Revolution, the late President of the Senate Jaroslav Kubera originally planned to visit Taiwan in February. All of a sudden, on the eve on his departure, he died of a heart attack on 20 January.

Two months after his death, his wife and daughter openly accused the Czech president and Chinese embassy for constantly threatening and pressuring Kubera to cancel his visit to Taiwan before his death. In an interview with the national TV Česká televize, Mrs Kubera stated he was invited to the Chinese New Year banquet organised by the Chinese embassy 3 days before his death. He had an “unpleasant private conversation inside the room” with Chinese representatives.

When sorting out the belongings of Kubera, the family found two “threatening letters” in his briefcase, one from the Czech president and one from the Chinese embassy. They not only tried to deter Kubera’s Taiwan visit, they actually “threatened the safety of his families”.

Serbian Pilot Who Welcomes Chinese Medical Workers Dies of #Covid19

It has been almost one year since Wuhan pneumonia broke out first in China and then across the world. #Serbia is one of those countries who have believed "China can help".

In March 2019, the country invited Chinese medical personnel to take part in their fight against the coronavirus. Back then, the pilot Svetislav Vranic who had flown the Chinese medical workers into Serbia waved the Chinese flag outside the aircraft.

However, Vranic died of coronavirus on the Christmas eve, December 24, 2020.

China sounds death knell for democracy in Hong Kong

Democracy activists face being barred from standing in Hong Kong elections under an overhaul of voting rules designed to tighten Beijing’s grip.

Plans announced yesterday will extend Beijing’s powers of appointment to the Hong Kong parliament and grant it a veto over all candidates.

Li Keqiang, the Chinese prime minister, announced that Beijing would “perfect” the constitutional orders in Hong Kong to safeguard national security for long-term prosperity.

Hong Kong Pro-democracy Trade Unions Commemorate CCP-'Suicided' #LiWangYang for Fighting Against Totalitarian Power

On June 6, 2021, the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (#HKCTU), a pro-democracy labour rights group, held a memorial for Chinese dissident Li Wangyang (1950-2012) who passed away on the day 9 years ago in 2012.

After being jailed by the Chinese authorities for 21 years, Li who had become blind and nearly deaf by then was found dead in a hospital room. The #ChineseCommunistParty (#CCP) government initially claimed that Li had "committed suicide".

Li's sudden death -- which took place just a few days after he in an interview called for the vindication of the 1989 June 4th #TiananmenMassacre -- had stirred up outcry in Hong Kong and abroad. The real cause of his death remained in the shadow.

The HKCTU organized a commemorative event to pay tribute to Li's perseverance in fighting against the regime.

#ChowHangTung, vice chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China who was arrested by the Hong Kong police on the morning of June 4, 2021, joined the memorial on bail.

Chow said, "The regime does not win even by imprisoning us. As long as we manage to reinforce the movement during the process, we are not losing."
