♣ People's Daily online (2024-6-3): The report says that civil and political rights have become empty talk in the United States, where there are the chronic disease of racism, growing economic and social inequality, persistent violations of the rights of women and children, and heart-wrenching struggles of undocumented migrants.

... gun violence..., averaging 117 deaths per day, and at least 1,247 deaths were attributed to police violence.  Ethnic minorities in the United States face systematic, persistent and comprehensive racial discrimination.  The gap between rich and poor in the United States has reached its worst level since the Great Depression of 1929.  Women and children's rights in the United States have long been systematically violated, with constitutional provisions for gender equality remaining absent.   65 percent of the U.S. citizens say most political candidates run for office "to serve their own personal interests.".   For decades, the United States has pursued hegemony, unilateralism, and power politics, and abused force and unilateral sanctions, causing serious humanitarian consequences.  A research report by Brown University's "Costs of War" project website reveals that in the theaters of war where the United States conducted overseas "counter-terrorism" operations following the 9/11 attacks, the total death toll ranges from at least 4.5 to 4.7 million people.  Extensive "proxy forces" operations by the United States undermine social stability and violate the human rights of other nations. Continuous delivery of weapons such as cluster munitions to other countries ...

Pope calls for ban on "lethal autonomous weapons" at G7

　

♦  Euro News (2024-6-15): Pope attends G7 summit in historic first, warns of dangers of AI / the Pope challenged them to keep human dignity foremost in developing and using artificial intelligence, warning that such powerful technology risks turning human relations themselves into algorithms. ♦  The Guardian (2024-6-14): the Pope calling on G7 leaders to ban the use of autonomous weapons in war.  AI machine would represent the darkening of the sense of humanity and the concept of human dignity.  ♦  AFP (2024-6-15): Pope has repeatedly denounced the arms industry and those he says profit from wars and death. (ps: the top five arms makers on the planet — Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and General Dynamics — are all located in the United States.)  At a strategic level, AI will produce models of battlefields and propose how to respond to attacks, maybe even including the use of nuclear weapons.  ♦  Al Jazeera (2024-6-15): “Artificial intelligence [is] at the same time an exciting and fearsome tool. We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people’s ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines.”  ♦  Axios (2024-6-14): "it could bear with it more injustice between advanced countries and developing countries, between dominant social classes and oppressed social classes, thus endangering the possibility of a culture of encounter."

　

　
　
☉ New York Times (USA, 2020-10-16) :  In the early 21st century, if any power sought world domination, coercing others and flouting rules, it was the United States.    Hemispheric leadership looked like “isolation,” even imprisonment. The United States could no longer usher in a new and better world unless it acquired the military power to impose its writ.    If confined, America would become “a lone island in a world dominated by the philosophy of force,” President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared in June 1940. Such a fate, he warned, would leave the American people “lodged in prison, handcuffed, hungry, and fed through the bars from day to day by the contemptuous, unpitying masters of other continents.”  Mike Pompeo heralds a new dawn for U.S. leadership. “Securing our freedoms from the Chinese Communist Party”, “is the mission of our time.”

US Hegemony and Its Perils, by China at 2023-2-20
　

♦According to the book America Invades: How We've Invaded or been Militarily Involved with almost Every Country on Earth, the United States has fought or been militarily involved with almost all the 190-odd countries recognized by the United Nations with only three exceptions. The three countries were "spared" because the United States did not find them on the map.

♦  As former U.S. President Jimmy Carter put it, the United States is undoubtedly the most warlike nation in the history of the world.

♦ Alex Lo, a South China Morning Post columnist, pointed out that the United States has rarely distinguished between diplomacy and war since its founding. It overthrew democratically elected governments in many developing countries in the 20th century and immediately replaced them with pro-American puppet regimes.

♦ The United States has also adopted appalling methods in war. During the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War, the United States used massive quantities of chemical and biological weapons as well as cluster bombs, fuel-air bombs, graphite bombs and depleted uranium bombs, causing enormous damage on civilian facilities, countless civilian casualties and lasting environmental pollution.

♦ After the "Kabul debacle" in 2021, the United States announced that it would freeze some 9.5 billion dollars in assets belonging to the Afghan central bank, a move considered as "pure looting."

♦  As the only country in possession of a chemical weapons stockpile, the United States has repeatedly delayed the destruction of chemical weapons and remained reluctant in fulfilling its obligations. It has become the biggest obstacle to realizing "a world free of chemical weapons."

America's Coercive Diplomacy and Its Harm /  XinHua Beijing, 2023-5-18

Brief

In fact, the United States is the instigator of coercive diplomacy. For a long time, the United States will do everything possible to coerce other countries, and the United States has a very disgraceful "dark history" in coercive diplomacy.
　

♦ Applying coercive diplomacy with allies with no mercy. In the 1980s, Japan's GDP was half that of the US. In order to eliminate Japan's economic threat, the United States forced Japan to sign the "Plaza Accord" in 1985, forcing the yen to appreciate, which led to the rapid expansion of Japan's domestic economic bubble, the collapse of the real estate bubble and the long-term stagnation of the Japanese economy.  In 1986, in response to the rise of Japan's semiconductor industry, the US forced Japan to sign the "US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement," initiated a "Section 301 Investigation" against Japan, and imposed trade sanctions on a variety of Japanese products such as semiconductors and computers, which undermined the competitiveness and potential of Japan's semiconductor industry, seeing its market share fall from 50% of the global market to about 10% in 2019

♦ Dismembering Alstom (France) by means of "economic hostages." In 2013, the US used the "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act" to arrest Frederic Pierucci, an Alstom executive, and coaxed him to enter into a plea agreement in order to obtain more evidence and information against Alstom... ...Under lobbying and pressure, Alstom had to accept an acquisition bid from General Electric of the US in 2015.

♦ In recent years, the US has targeted its coercive measures on the semiconductor industry, "extorting" confidential data from many chip companies in the world and maintaining US dominance in the semiconductor industry. In September 2021, the US Department of Commerce issued a notice requiring companies in the semiconductor supply chain to provide relevant information "voluntarily" within 45 days... if the companies refused, instruments such as the "Defense Production Act" would be used to get them to provide the data...more than 70 companies, including TSMC, UMC, Samsung, SK hynix and Japan's Sony Semiconductor, have submitted information related to the semiconductor supply chain to the US Department of Commerce

♦ The US is also good at interfering, either directly or indirectly, in the internal affairs of other countries by supporting proxy wars, inciting civil wars, providing weapons and ammunition, and training anti-government forces, etc., to counter "disobedient" countries and regions. Since the 20th century, under the banner of "democracy" and "freedom," the United States has promoted the "Neo-Monroe Doctrine" in Latin America, provoked "color revolutions" in Eurasia, and planned the "Arab Spring" in West Asia and North Africa, engaging in "peaceful evolution" in various parts of the world, ... Since 2003, the US has played a hand in the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia, the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine and the "Tulip Revolution" in Kyrgyzstan. The Financial Times reported that agencies such as the US National Endowment for Democracy and the US Agency for International Development have been instrumental in driving domestic protests in other countries. The main and immediate cause of the color revolution is to safeguard US interests such as strategic expansion and energy security, according to a British Open Democracy Network article

♦ The US, despite being so angry about outside interference, is the expert in it, The Guardian (UK) said.

♦ "Long-arm jurisdiction" is another commonly used means of US economic coercion. The US has enacted such domestic laws as the "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act," the "Trading with the Enemy Act," the "Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act," the "International Emergency Economic Powers Act," and the "Export Control Act," and cooked up a series of executive orders, directly imposing sanctions on specific countries, organizations or individuals. The US arbitrarily expands the jurisdiction of its domestic law, while applying ambiguous rules such as the "minimum contact principle" and the "effectiveness principle," abusing domestic channels of judicial action to engage in "long-arm jurisdiction" with foreign entities and individuals

♦ The United States is the inventor and master of coercive diplomacy. For a long time, the US, through various rogue means such as economic blockade, unilateral sanctions, military threats, political isolation, and technical blockade, has presented textbook cases of coercive diplomacy to the world. As US scholars have pointed out, the essence of US coercive diplomacy lies in the idea that "you are either with us or against us. The US should lead, and its allies should follow, and the countries that oppose the supremacy of the US will suffer."

♣  China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin's Regular Press Conference on July 18, 2022 

　

Lindsey A. O’Rourke, an Assistant Professor at Boston College wrote in her book Covert Regime Change: America’s Secret Cold War that the US engaged in 64 covert attempts and six open attempts at regime change between 1947 and 1989. The US’s acts of regime change remain unchecked even after the end of the Cold War. For years, the US has created political unrest in Latin America, played a part in the “Arab Spring”, and instigated color revolutions in Europe and Asia. Senior US officials even went to the streets themselves in some of those countries to support opposition forces in stoking political confrontation...Bolton’s admission is so revealing. Leading US politicians trumpet the so-called “rules-based international order” for one purpose: to ensure that the US can easily interfere in other countries’ affairs and overthrow their governments at its own will. This is exactly the kind of “rules” and “order” that people like Bolton want absolutely to defend.  The report’s section on China distorts and smears the human rights conditions in Xinjiang, wantonly attacks China’s Xinjiang policy, tramples on international law and basic norms in international relations and lacks factual basis. It is nothing more than a repetition of the US’s lies on Xinjiang-related issues.

If the US truly cares about the issue of genocide, it should issue a report on genocide against Native Americans, investigate and hold accountable those responsible for slaughtering millions of Native Americans and committing forced migration and cultural genocide against them, and apologize to and compensate the Indian community still suffering discrimination and living at the bottom of the social-economic ladder.  If the US truly cares about the issue of forced labor, it should issue a report on forced labor inside the US, thoroughly investigate the modern-day slavery of at least half a million people in the US and the trafficking of nearly 100,000 people into the US for forced labor each year, and ratify at once the Forced Labour Convention, 1930, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.   reciyi.com/article/?id=3253  

　

♣  The Hill (USA, 2023-2-24): After 9/11 the U.S. made something of a deal with China — we won't press you on human rights abuses in Xinjiang if you work with us on Islamic terrorism.  

 ♣  National Review (USA, 2023-1-15): American engagement policy sought to moderate Chinese behavior through Beijing's participation in the global commercial system, which — it was imagined — would ultimately lead to market liberalization and, if not democratization, ... Hence the U.S. deprioritized China as a strategic threat, refrained from comment on its obvious human-rights abuses.
