About China Labour
Bulletin’s sharing “HKCTU urges Hong Kong workers to take tomorrow off and
protest the government's proposed amendments to the extradition law,” I
commented to them: "You say CLB is a workers' rights NGO about China, but you are lying.
You are really an anti-Chinese government group using workers' struggle in China as an
excuse. I urge you to keep to your mission in your title and cease your useless
political propaganda.”
About “CLB Director Han Dongfang, Wuer Kaixi, Dr. Shao
Jiang and Zhou Fengsuo discuss[ing] the nature of democracy, the legacy of
China's 1989 protests and June 4 crackdown at the Oxford Union,” I commented: “This
article has nothing to do with labor in China. It is a political piece. CLB
should stick to reporting labor issues in China.” But most of their posts do
support workers’ rights in China, if not Taiwan.“CLB
is introducing more original Chinese language content on our website. Here we
look at the working conditions of China's truck drivers, one year after their
nationwide strike.”
But about some alleged workers and students uniting for Tiananmen, they support the western propaganda against Chinese 'lack of free speech' when it is clear there is as little free speech there as in the U.S. I commented: “China could have been another Iraq if the U.S. had its way. China
was almost caught flat footed for the destabilization attempt that the
U.S./NATO would have jumped on.” About a piece longing for the road not taken
after Tiananmen, I commented: “This is anti-Chinese propaganda. Subversion by
capitalism is not acceptable in socialist nations. China dealt with it the only
way how.” About the alleged survival of ‘free thought’ after Tiananmen, I
commented: “This article has nothing to do with labor issues.”
CLB won’t touch Taiwan worker issues, and for that I shame them. I asked why not and they wrote back "China Labour Bulletin as an NGO we have limited resources and we have to focus on what we know best, the Chinese mainland, when conducting our work. Since its establishment in Hong Kong in 1994, China Labour Bulletin has always focused on mainland China, leaving even Hong Kong labour issues to other institutions." So when they posted 'about ‘Brother Chan Kam Hong, tireless fighter for
workers' rights and occupational health and safety in Hong Kong [who]passed away
[that day] aged 60-years old [and] will be greatly missed,” I pointed out their hypocrisy. CLB
insisted their only concern is China, not HK or Taiwan, so why are they
concerned with this HK man?
I complained that they do not follow up on labor issues in Taiwan or even Taiwanese businesses in China such as Foxconn. Response from CLB to my alerting them to labor issues in HK and Taiwan
are not investigated. They only do Chinese labor issues? No. I pointed out they comment on
Hong Kong issues, too, as is evident supporting the organized opposition to
China extradition law for Hong Kong criminals; someone thinks lawbreakers,
especially ‘free speech’ against China, will get off easier in Hong Kong courts.
The jury is
still out on that. Hong Kong is an enclave of privileged capitalist leftovers
from colonial times.There was
subterfuge then and there is subterfuge now. CLB is not neutral or on workers' sides in Chinese speaking lands. To CLB, an injury for China is an injury to all.
I’ve had it with China Labour Bulletin; their only interest in helping workers is destabilizing China. They are one of the NGO instigators of the anti-Chinese riots in Hong Kong. For many years I have been sharing their reports on my blog and Facebook page to friends and comrades. I was bamboozled by their intentions in an “Injury to one is an injury to all” Wobbly worker solidarity but CLB isn’t interested in injury to workers anywhere if it can’t be blamed on the CCP.
Their Facebook monitors kept throwing “like” icons when I shared their posts about worker grievances in China but I will share them no more; in fact I condemn the CLB for their role in destabilizing Hong Kong for no worker’s well-being at all; all in the name of protecting their right to spread negative or false news about China from within their H.K. Trojan Horse. They have helped do young people and workers of Hong Kong a disservice and they are not constructive about helping workers in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or anywhere else. I hope they are investigated, get arrested, and put on trial for treason in Chinese courts
