Xi Jinping Advocates “Internationally Accepted QR Codes” to Track Global Population

Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the G20 Leaders’ Summit via video conference on Saturday (Nov 21), during which he expressed his wish for more countries to participate in an international mutual recognized mechanism for health codes proposed by China, in order to rapidly track international travels and movements of personnel during the pandemic.

Xi proposed that all countries should formulate a universal set of policies and standards to counter the pandemic, enhance the relationship between policies and standards, and establish “fast tracks” to facilitate the flow of personnel, to ensure the smooth operation of the global economy amid the pandemic. Xi proposed that the mechanism was based on nucleic acid test results and administered through internationally accepted QR codes, and expressed his hope for more countries to participate. He did not, however, specify the types of applications or QR code systems, or who to design and manage the system.

China has widely implemented health certificates locally using QR codes that also contain personal travel and health records. The codes were deemed effective in curbing the spread of COVID-19 in mainland China. The code system assigns different colour codes to users based on their risks of potential infection: Green denotes the lowest risk, followed by yellow, with red denoting the highest risk.

Canada looks on as Biden rallies other allies to counter China

The White House has confirmed that U.S. President Joe Biden plans to meet later this year with his Japanese, Australian and Indian counterparts — a four-country grouping dubbed the “Quadrilateral Security Dialogue” or QUAD.

The announcement came just days after Chinese Communist Party General-Secretary Xi Jinping marked the centenary of the party with an incendiary oratory that was short on Marxism but long on nationalist promises “to build a new type of international relations.”

This is Xi’s doctrine of “the community of the common destiny of mankind” under future People’s Republic of China (PRC) global domination, which includes making irrelevant the current institutions that promote peace, prosperity and justice, such as the United Nations, World Trade Organization, G-20 and G-7.

Pillar of Shame placed outside Chinese Embassy in Rome. Nathan Law: China government's atrocities must be exposed to the world

As the G20 summit is to be held in Rome for two days from Saturday (30 October), exiled Hong Kong legislator Nathan Law Kwun-Chung took the "Pillar of Shame" to the Chinese Embassy there yesterday (27 October) to protest. He said he might not be able to stop the Chinese Communist Party (#ccp) from committing atrocities, but he hoped to draw public attention to human rights issues in China.

Joint with Luke de Pulford, a British member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), and others, Nathan Law erected a three-metre-high "Pillar of Shame", a replica of the original "Pillar of Shame" status made by the same Danish sculptor Jens Galschiøt, outside the Chinese Embassy in Rome yesterday.

"We may not be able to stop the Chinese Communist Party's atrocities, but with the G20 summit around the corner, there is something we can do to get the media's attention and to direct some of the public opinions towards the human rights of the Chinese Communist Party," he said. He would also meet with parliamentarians from different countries in Rome in the coming days, hoping to remind them of the importance of fighting the expansion of Chinese Communist authority when they gather.

[Translator note: According to the Stand News video, Nathan Law said, "it is a statement about the atrocity and the massacre that the Chinese Communist Party did to its people, its crushing of democratic pursuit, and the pursuits of its people to decide the future of their own country", which is not quite the same as what the news article say]

As #CCP tried to remove #Ukraine from the #G20 agenda (and claimed that #China is on the right side of history, no less), I wonder if it's time we brace ourselves for sanctions? #HongKong will most likely not be given any preferential treatment different from China...

PS. Reminiscing the good old days when #HK protesters were urging #US to sanction China everyday. Looks like Xi's gonna grant us that wish finally. Thanks Pooh!

0235 #G20 #峇里 #拜登 #習近平 #會面 #國際要聞
美國總統拜登星期五於埃及出席COP27聯合國氣候變化大會後,隨即前往印尼峇里島參與G20二十國集團領袖峰會,並於會前與中國總理習近平會面。是次會面為拜登於2021年就任美國總統後,兩國領導人首次會面。兩人閉門會面接近三小時,以下為兩國政府分別公佈的會面內容總結:

台灣問題:
拜登再次重申美國反對任何單方面改變台海現狀的行為。拜登亦指中國「高壓且日漸侵略性的對台行動」將影響台海及周邊地區和平穩定。

習近平則表示台灣問題為中國核心利益,亦是美中關係中不可觸碰的底線。中國將繼續努力維持台海及周邊地區和平穩定,但台灣獨立與此目標水火不容。

俄烏戰爭:
拜登於會上向習近平提出俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭的問題,及俄軍動用核武的可能性。美國指兩人於會上再次確認不應發動核戰的共識。

有別於白宮,北京的會面總結未有提及兩人對不使用核武的共識,僅指中國極為關注烏克蘭局勢,形容問題複雜,但各國應避免大國之間正面對抗。

兩國合作:
拜登強調美中兩國應繼續於氣候變化、公共衛生、全球糧食危機等議題上繼續合作。兩國皆指,雙方高層官員將於會後繼續就上述問題溝通,並於有共識的議題合作。

除上述三項外,中方總結未有提及其他議題,但美方總結亦包括拜登向習近平表達美國對中國於新疆、西藏及香港的政策的關注,並提出對中國人權問題的質疑。美國國務卿布林肯及後亦會到訪中國,進一步深入探討有關問題。
