Asia Cast for Sunday 13th September

In this Bulletin…

- Doubt over Urumqi syringe violence;
- Chinese regime rallies internet bars; and
- Tea Party sees Obama as witchdoctor.

But first, here’s our SOH focus on China
**********************

Since the recent reports by the Chinese Communist regime that there is a large amount of Uighur people in Urumqi going around stabbing Han Chinese citizens with syringes, more and more doubts have been cast on the source of the reports and the validity of the stabbing claims.

Reuters news agency reported that the syringe scare was started by a police department text message to residents last week. The message warned of syringe attacks.

This message, as well as official warnings of a coordinated separatist attack, has fuelled a fear reaction within the Han community in China

Internet bars China wide have publicly announced to conform to the Chinese Communist regime’s rules regarding internet control over the public.

According to China’s official media, Xinhuanet.com, on the afternoon of September 9, Internet Bar Associations of over 30 cities and provinces in China published a joint statement in Xi’an City, pledging that they will assist the Chinese regime in, what has been labelled, purifying the internet environment.

This united front will aim to assist the government to crack down on underground internet bars, proactively purify the Internet bar market and guide youths away from internet bars.

And now for the rest of today’s Asia Cast

War has seemingly been waged in Afghanistan regarding what could be election fraud in the latest round of polls. All parts of the country have been affected with 5 Americans dead and dozens of Afghan civilians and troops killed.

Election authorities released new, near-complete preliminary results showing incumbent Hamid Karzai was on track for a single round victory.

That could yet be challenged by a U.N.-backed watchdog that says it has found proof of fraud and has begun voiding ballots from areas where Karzai won overwhelming support.

Sri Lankan camps housing displaced Tamil people from the recent heavy fighting between Tamil Tigers and the government are coming under heavy criticism by Human Rights associations globally, and the Sri Lankan government is reacting harshly to claims of horrible conditions for these Tamil people in the camps.

The government accused a U.N. Children’s Fund spokesman, James Elder, of spreading lies and propaganda from the Tamil rebels. The government has also revoked his visa and told UNICEF that he must leave the country by September 21.

In a recent interview by The Epoch Times newspaper, a former Intelligence Officer of the Chinese Communist regime, further clarified the espionage network that the CCP uses to infiltrate the governments of other countries. He also stated that the U.S is currently a major initiative to undermine.

Li Fengzhi, a former Intelligence Officer of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Ministry of State Security said that the regime has already developed a pervasive espionage network in the United States.

He stated that the Chinese Consulates and other national security organs are the major roots of their espionage into other countries.

The Tea Party Express group, a conservative advocacy group, has rallied tens of thousands of people to support a campaign pin pointing government spending and what they regard as reckless policy making.

The march leading to the Capitol stretched for blocks on the final day of the Tea Party Express’ cross-country bus tour, which began August 28 in Sacramento, California. En route, the group hosted rallies in about 30 cities.

Nazi imagery and a poster of President Obama as an African witch doctor were popular images during the campaign. A major theme of the rally was the push for less government.
