[Marxism] Fwd: [New post] China’s Ban On Online LGBTQ Content Likely A Product Of Nationalism
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: "New Bloom Magazine"> Date: July 24, 2017 at 7:18:41 AM EDT > To: "Richard Sprout" > Subject: [New post] China’s Ban On Online LGBTQ Content Likely A Product Of Nationalism > > > New post on New Bloom Magazine > > > > China’s Ban On Online LGBTQ Content Likely A Product Of Nationalism > by Brian Hioe > by Brian Hioe > 語言: > English > Photo Credit: AFP > CHINA’S RECENT ban on all online video and audio content regarding LGBTQ issues is perhaps unsurprising, seeing as this follows on the heels of a ban on depictions of homosexuality on television. It remains to be seen as how wide-sweeping or strictly enforced this ban will be, seeing as some Chinese LGBTQ filmmakers who release their work online have reported not having their content taken down at present. > > Similarly, China having a rich online ecology of LGBTQ dating apps, it is to be seen whether these apps will be allowed to continue to operate. Blued, China’s largest gay dating app, which has 27 million users, received a multi-million RMB investment from the state-run Beijing News in February. However, lesbian dating app Rela, which had over five million users, was closed down in May after controversy regarding the app promoting an offline “marriage market” for parents to find spouses for their LGBTQ children, the Chinese state apparently disliking parents seeking spouses for their LGBTQ children. An LGBTQ conference in Sichuan was also forcibly cancelled in July. > > Anti-discrimination event in Changsha, Hunan in 2013. Photo credit: AFP > The Chinese government has justified the ban as part of broader crackdowns on “vulgar, unhealthy, and immoral”, deeming homosexuality to be an “abnormal sexual behavior.” Some have cast doubt upon the feasibility of enforcing this ban, given how wide-sweeping its guidelines are, yet it remains quite possible nonetheless that the ban could have a chilling effect on the LGBTQ community’s ability to speak out for itself in China. > > In the past, feminist and LGBTQ NGOs sometimes perceived the crackdown on their organizations as less a product of their specifically being targeted as feminist or LGBTQ organizations so much as their being caught in the crossfire of Xi Jinping’s attempt to rein in civil society organizations of all stripes. At present, China is in the middle of a period of constricting freedoms for civil society organization, seeing as the Chinese party-state is in the process of political consolidating power under Xi and seems to be targeting civil society organizations of any nature, seeing them all as possible threats. > > In particular, feminist and LGBTQ NGOs in China can be highly internationalist in their willingness to collaborate with foreign NGOs, seeing as feminist and LGBTQ issues are often seen by activists as universal and above the tensions which may exist between nation-states. But, on the other hand, Chinese NGOs which work with international NGOs have become a particular target under the present crackdown with the view that they may be prove a threat, as vehicles for cooperation with foreign threats to undermine China from within. > > Nevertheless, with increased attempts by the CCP to fan up nationalism in the apparent view that China has become too influenced by decadent western influences in the process of its economic opening up and market liberalization during the Deng period and beyond, this may also be why the the Chinese party-state is targeting the LGBTQ community. As we also see in Russia, as another prominent example of a so-called “post-socialist” country which has seen a crackdown on the LGBTQ community under conditions of resurgent political authoritarianism, sometimes the LGBTQ community becomes targeted with the view that being gay is a product of western influences, that corrupt individuals away from the patriarchal, heterosexual family, seen as the basis of the social fabric of any healthy and virile nation-state. > > Celebrations in Taipei following the ruling. Photo credit: Brian Hioe > Likewise, with the recent ruling to legalize same-sex marriage by the Council of Grand Justices’ in Taiwan, a de facto independent polity with its own government, economy, and democratic system of governance despite China’s claims of sovereignty over it, the Chinese government has taken to banning comparisons between Taiwan and China in state-run media, as well as anything which suggests that Taiwan’s political system may differ from that of China. > >

Indeed, fights within Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan are fairly common, and international media has a way of occasionally discovering and rediscovering this phenomenon over and over. Nevertheless, the question is worth reflecting on as something which probably has ties to the structural nature of Taiwanese democracy. > > Some deem fights within legislature to be an expression of the highly polarized nature of Taiwanese politics, with sharp divisions between the pan-Blue and pan-Green alliances. This has a large degree of truth. The primary political cleavage in Taiwan is not between the political Left and Right, per se, but between unification with China or independence for Taiwan. These are differences in conceptions of Taiwan’s political division which are inherently oppositional, without a lack of substantial capacity for a middle ground position which blends both political poles, as occurs with the Left-Right political spectrum. > > Photo credit: CNA > This explains in part why pan-Blue and pan-Green political actors would be willing to lob fists at each other altogether too willingly in legislature is because their vision of Taiwan’s future are inherently at odds with each other and each views the other side as an existential threat. Again, issues of unification/independence are obviously not the only issue that pan-Blue and pan-Green legislators fight about, but unification/independence remains the primarily dividing issue between the two main political camps in Taiwan, and other issues arrange themselves around this split. Again, the fundamental split within Taiwanese politics being between unification/independence is a way in which Taiwanese democratic politics fundamentally differs from other two-party democracies, and is an unsettled legacy of Taiwan’s authoritarian period. > > Consequently, there is quite simply no way for Taiwanese legislators from both political camps to have a collegial relation, as one might see between members of otherwise rival political parties in other contexts. One observes, for example, that there is very little political discourse in Taiwan which touts the benefits of bipartisan politics as a universal good, although bipartisan does occur within legislature nonetheless. > > Yet, likewise, it is because of Taiwan’s only recently post-authoritarian nature which fights break out so often in legislature. As the KMT was the former ruling party during the authoritarian period and the DPP was the political party which formed out of the democracy movement which fought against the KMT, blood was literally split in battle between the two sides for Taiwanese democracy to be established. It is no surprise that antagonisms continue to exist between both sides in addition to that the pan-Blue and pan-Green camp have at heart fundamentally oppositional political visions. > > Likewise, seeing as the democracy movement seems to have enshrined the crucial role of the mass movement in Taiwanese politics, the fact that pan-Blue and pan-Green political actors literally fought each other during the period of KMT authoritarianism and the rising democracy, at far greater intensity than occasional fisticuffs in legislature, probably also contributes to why political violence is somewhat normalized in even electoral politics. Taiwanese democracy, after all, was realized in struggle. > > Indeed, returning to the fact that discussion upon why the Taiwanese legislature so frequently descends into fights between legislator as

She examines the appearance of safety-minded building > codes, including the 1888 municipal legislation that addressed > theaters, whose admixture of electric lights, combustible film, and > large crowds could all to easily lead to tragedy. With new > regulations came new building inspectors composed of the ubiquitous > _ingeniero_, those educated professionals so emblematic of the > Porfiriato.

Just sayin'. > > NSC President and CEO Deborah Hersman, noting that preventable deaths are at an all-time high, said “Safety is no accident. We lose more than 140,000 people because of events we know how to prevent. This report provides states with a blueprint for saving lives, and we hope lawmakers, civic leaders, public health professionals and safety advocates use it to make their communities measurably safer.” > > The study found that, nationally, more than 146,000 people died last year from preventable accidents, a 7 percent increase over 2014. > > We here at Confined Space world headquarters are, of course, most interested in the workplace safety area where only two states, Illinois and Washington, received "As." B's went to Colorado, Minnesota, Maryland, DC, Oregon, Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut. > > The worst states for workplace safety, according to the NSC, are Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming and Kansas. > > States were graded on three categories for workplace safety: Prevention, Preparedness and Enforcement (50%); Workers Compensation (25%) and Worker Health and Wellbeing (25%) > > Prevention, Preparedness and Enforcement took into account such items as whether a state had requirement for health and safety programs and health and safety committees, as well as public employee OSHA coverage, workplace violence laws and "existence of multi-line telephone system enhanced 911 program for employers." The report notes that OSHA estimates that establishing safety and health programs can reduce injuries by 15 to 35% for employers that do not currently have a program. > > I didn't know what an enhanced 911 program was. Turns out it "provides dispatchers with precise caller location within a building or campus when a landline is used and ensures swift first response in case of an emergency." OK, I'll buy it. > > The Workers’ Compensation category looked at key measures like maximum benefits and length of coverage, and Worker Health and Well Being looked at states' ability to control key workplace environmental risk factors by implementing drug-free and anti-smoking laws, as well as workplace wellness laws. > > OK, well that was fun. My main quibbles would be that I don't think any state should receive a passing grade (certainly not above a "C" if they don't provide OSHA coverage for public employees. I would definitely knock Colorado, New Hampshire and Washington DC out of the "Bs." And I have issues with the Drug Free Workplace laws -- depending on what they say, how they're administered and what safeguards they have to ensure that they aren't used to retaliate against workers for reporting injuries. > > Oklahoma came in 41 out of 51 in the workplace safety and health category and their Labor Commissioner, Melissa McLawhorn Houston, is pissed! Houston objected to the state's "F" grade on workplace safety and wrote a letter to the NSC it to revise Oklahoma's grade. "Oklahoma's public sector incidence rate, 3.8 per 100 workers, is lower than the national average at 5. The Oklahoma Department of Labor also provides free, confidential safety consu> OK, so this does not impress me. With no OSHA law, it's hard to trust any public sector injury and illness rates. And every state "provides provides free, confidential safety consultations," which are, by the way, 90% funded by federal OSHA. > > I'm not sure if Houston offered to stay after school or do extra credit, but my general feeling is that if she has nothing better to do than conduct media interviews and write letters complaining about her NSC grades, the state has bigger problems. > > So for you delinquents out there, get back to work.

The march began in front of the Executive Yuan at 3:30 and, after marching for an hour down Zhongshan South Road, finished on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Residence at 4:30, where a number of tents and a stage for musical performances had been set up. The two central demands of demonstrators, which served as protest chants during the rally and were also printed on signs handed out to participants were for an end to the Asia Cement mine and reform of the mining industry, but more general demands underlying the demonstration were the call for broader environmental protections in Taiwan and social justice for Taiwanese indigenous. > > Photo credit: Brian Hioe > Apart from speeches and musical performances, demonstrators set off smoke bombs and played sounds of mining in front of the Executive Yuan to represent the loud noises which are constantly produced by the Asia Cement mine, in spite of the constant disruption to the lives of indigenous residents living nearby. On Ketagalan Boulevard, demonstrators formed the shape of the island of Taiwan, citing recently deceased director Chi Po-Lin’s documentary Beyond Beauty: Taiwan From Above, and the need to defend protect Taiwan’s environment as a whole. Participating organizations include Third Force parties such as the New Power Party, Social Democratic Party, Green Party, and Trees Party, a number of environmental organizations as the Green Citizen Action Alliance, the Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association, and other organizations. The main organizer of the demonstration was the Citizens of the Earth, Taiwan. > > Asia Cement’s mine on Truku indigenous lands is one of the long running issues in the struggle for social justice for indigenous in Taiwan going back several decades, as an emblem of the injustices the ROC government has inflicted upon Taiwanese indigenous. While Truku indigenous, as with other indigenous communities, should by constitutional law hold the rights to their land, oftentimes it is that Taiwanese business take advantages of legal loopholes to appropriate indigenous land for commercial development, sometimes with the backing of the local government. > > Smoke bombs being set off outside the Executive Yuan. Photo credit: Brian Hioe > This would certainly seem to be the case with Asia Cement’s mine in Taroko National Park, in which suspicions have been raised about the legitimacy of the documentation with which Asia Cement justifies ownership over the land, and in which the Truku people have been unable to achieve the restoration of their land rights because ROC government actors have shunted responsibility for who has jurisdiction over the land between the local, county, and central government. In this light, Asia Cement’s development in Taroko National Park goes back to the long history of indigenous being forced off of their lands by Han Taiwanese, seeing as it is very likely that any “documentation” from several decades ago supposedly proving that the Truku people agreed to give up their lands to Asia Cement may have been bound up with forcible coercion from government or commercial actors. Accordingly, the legal case filed against Asia Cement has lasted over fifteen years without firm resolution, including past attempts by the government to pass off a false resolution to the issue, low settlement payouts to affected residents of the area even in cases of deaths caused by accidents from the mine, and pollution to the drinking water of local residents. > > As always, rampant developmentalism and the crony capitalism of local government actors willing to work with corporations for their personal benefit remain unresolved issues in Taiwan, and all the more so when it comes to Han Taiwanese treatment of Taiwanese indigenous. The Asia Cement mine proves not only disruptive of the daily lives of the Truku and a violation of their sovereign rights, but also destructive of the environment in which they live

[Marxism] Fwd: [New post] Chinese Discourse About The “White Left" Reveals Antagonisms Between Leftism, Nationalism

Obviously, it is that for Chinese nationalists, the greatest obstacle in the way of China’s global rise is America. But nationalists of all stripe think alike and they recognize a kindred spirit in Trump. > > It such, then, that one also sees why Chinese nationalists, despite sometimes referring to themselves as “leftists” because of China’s ostensibly status as a “Communist” country, scoff at those in China who concern themselves with the same issues taken up by the international Left, again, such as immigration, minorities, LGBTQ, and the environment. Namely, for such nationalists, this gets in the way of what should be the primary concern for China today--attempts at strengthening national power. They think this to be true of any other country, as well. > > And so, while Trump may be the enemy, with his slogan of “America First”, with his casual demands for obeisance from all other countries, and even suggesting that he would consider direct extraction of oil from Middle Eastern countries, he also represents a model to be emulated for China. Indeed, the parallels between Trump’s strongman style of leadership and his dependency on a family network to support him draws parallels to the CCP’s style of rule. Some have pointed out in recent times, for example, that Trump’s use of his children and their spouses as lieutenants within his administration is highly reminiscent of the phenomenon of Chinese “princelings” groomed for government positions by their politically powerful parents--as his use of his political position to benefit his family’s financial empire. Chinese citizens have not failed to notice the similarities. > > Photo credit: Derzsi Elekes Andor > On the other hand, those concerned with social issues as immigration, minorities, LGBTQ, the environment, and other such causes are scoffed at by Chinese nationalists, whether these are members of the so-called “white Left” or individuals in China who take up such issues, But one also suspects that this sense of anxiety also ties into the fact that concern with immigrants, minorities, LGBTQ, the environment and similar social issues are never specifically national issues. The internationalist left has a way of cooperating beyond borders in a way that nationalists not only find foolish and irrational, but also probably fears to some extent. > > There are nationalists both left and right. Likewise, not all nationalisms are cut from the same cloth; forms of civic nationalism tend to be rather harmless, even if there always remains the danger that relatively mild civic forms of nationalism may unpredictably transform into ethno-nationalism. And, again, “leftism” has particular nuances in China, in which the claim of the Chinese government to be a socialist government sometimes leads “leftism” to be associated with Chinese nationalism. But whether across the world or just within the Sinosphere, right-wing nationalists tend to think similarity. For example, while Chinese nationalists find themselves at loggerheads with Hong Kong independence advocates who embrace a right-wing form of Hong Kong nationalism exclusionary of Chinese on ethnic grounds, they, too are sometimes dismissive of the “leftards” they think of too hung up on issues as social equality or social justice. One can draw similar comparison to Chinese nationalists scoffing at the “white left”. And such individuals also see common ground with Trump, or the tide of right-wing separatism sweeping Europe with, for example, some, more right-leaning advocates of Hong Kong independence praising Brexit in the UK and seeing this as a model for Hong Kong to withdraw from China in a manner which will serve to expunge Chinese immigrants from Hong Kong. > > But, of course, the mockery of the “white left” by Chinese nationalists or of “leftards” by
