Potter's Home Interview Report

According to the Great Wall Adoption Agency, during 1996, China was quickly starting to advance its Civil Affair System focusing on all of the orphaned and abandoned children (Great Wall China Adoption, 2015). In the same year, Snow Wu, founder of The Great Wall of China Agency, opened up the company in

Even with her previous experiences at Beijing University and at Big Joy Farm, Wong still held some belief that the Chinese system wasn’t as bad as it was sometimes made out to be. This event proved to her that it was. “The enormity of the massacre hit home…Although it had been years since I was a Maoist, I still had harbored some small hope for China. Now even that was gone” (259). As a reporter Wong was able to view the progression of the protests in leading up to the massacre, and in viewing it understood that the Chinese people were much more independent than they had previously demonstrated over the past 50 years. She had continuously seen the Chinese people following what they were told between learning in school or with physical labor, yet this protest was one of the first large scale displays of the unacceptance of the regime by the people, and the government did not know what to do with it. But because of this, Wong was able to recognize that the people were not reliant on this way of life that they had previously been bound to, but truly could lead for themselves and take control. The massacre awakened Wong both to the reality that the government was not acting to benefit the people, and that the people were more than capable of acting for

Every year, there are approximately 150,000 deaths and 200 million people affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises (Thomas, 2003). Natural disasters alone, which include various occurrences, cause substantial disruptions such as the temporary displacement of more than five million people. According to the Fritz institute, statistics show that uprooted people from humanitarian crises such as civil conflict and war is greater, with an average of 13 million refugees and 20 million internally displaced people each year. As the biggest worldwide participants in the relief effort in the global community, disaster relief organizations are the forerunners of the help supplied to people affected by catastrophic events.

When Chinese President Xi visited Washington, President Obama brought up the human rights issue during a conference. The human rights abuse is becoming extremely exposed and other countries are starting to put pressure on China’s government to stop their harsh methods. According to the article,"Rubio:Xi Jinping 'devastating' for China Human Rights", by James Griffiths, “Human rights have taken something of a back foot in recent years when it comes to Sino-U.S. relations. President Barack Obama has been criticised by Republicans for not doing enough to pressure Beijing on the issue”(Griffiths.) Not only has the abuse been going on for decades but the violations of human rights are extremely harsh and serious. The abuses range from expensive fines to extrajudicial killings.

My book report is on the book 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone' by J.K.

Joshua Wong does not like the current Chinese government state. Right now China is in a communist state, where the government controls the economy, and one single person holds most of the power. He doesn’t like this form of government because it is not split equal among authorities. So he wants the power to be split equally and have somebody elected by the people. He also led the umbrella movement in 2014. The umbrella movement was a movement simultaneously created by protesters during the 2014 Hong Kong

Now he is being held under investigation for refusing to take orders from a higher ranking officer. Police Chief Chuck Jordan the higher ranking officer is now saying “I would never assign a police officer to participate in a religious service, this is about a group of people who bonded together

Read Martyn Stewart's Story ACTIVISM GONE BAD IN YULIN, CHINA. You'll quickly discover that it pretty much matches what we have been saying about Marc Ching's lack of credibility and his willingness to lie to his followers to produce a response that would not only bring him personal adulations but also undeserved donations.

This breaks down to 15.2 million refugees, 26.4 million internally displaced persons and 895,000 asylum seekers. Countries that experience internal conflict and civil unrest produce the largest numbers of refugees. Afghanistan is the leading country of origin for refugees, followed by Iraq and Syria. All three countries are experiencing protracted violence. 80 percent of refugees flee to developing nations. The Salvation Army is committed to providing care for asylum seekers in Nauru and Manus Island regardless of politics or popularity. As an organisation they have provided care and support for the world’s vulnerable and suffering since 1865. Asylum seekers in the RPCs are facing uncertainty; they are isolated and incredibly vulnerable. As a Christian organisation, the Salvation Army are motivated by the love of Christ and passionate about helping vulnerable people. In Matthew 25:35-40 Jesus tells his disciples: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ In The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) Jesus tells the story of a man who is beaten and left for dead on the side of the road. A religious leader passes by and ignores him. The man is then found by a complete stranger – who also happens to be from a different religious group – who stops and helps tend to his injuries. The mandate of this parable is clear; that we are to care for the suffering, the vulnerable and hurting, regardless of who they might be. We are to be a neighbour to all.

Refugee Camps At this moment, thousands of people are walking miles upon miles, in pain. They are seeking shelter in a refugee camp, which is not ideal. Maybe they are weakening their health and feet for better work, or maybe safety. But these camps are not safe at all.

While this line is mainly used to show how the arrival of the murder trial stirred the village, I love it because it also very well describes how I felt when I finally came to this part of the story. At this point in the book, I was beginning to wonder if the accusation against Muff Potter was ever going to resurface. Many chapters had gone by without mentioning the crime, and as I slowly fell into the "sleepy" and semi-anticlimactic pattern of Tom's life, the trial became the farthest thing from my mind. In fact, the chapter before the trial is all about Tom's slow, lazy summer. Then, without warning, the very first line of the next page announces the arrival of the murder trial that I had forgotten all about, and it definitely did shatter

Historians have been constantly disputed the root cause of passing the Chinese Exclusion Act, Erika Lee in her book, At America’s Gates, she said, “rather than emphasizing the ‘labor’ aspect of Chinese Exclusion”, she emphasizes, “the western part of the equation”, also she arguing that “the late 19th –century U.S. West became the birthplace of anti-Chinese legislation because of the ‘history of extending and reinforcing white supremacy in the region and its unique relationship with the federal government.” However, Mr. King is lucky; because of religious reason, he cannot stay in China anymore, he came to America to apply for political asylum in 2005. For the reason of religious, I do not talk about too much; I only can say the background was China’s only one failure

Modern Chinese immigrants decide move to the US looking for freedom and safety place to live. They feel unsafe in a society where government has the power to control everything. Most people in China do not know about the existence of Google, Facebook or YouTube. Branigan (2009) stated that China government had used Great Firewall software to block those websites for no reason. The truth is that China government does not want those American companies impact on people thoughts. Google, YouTube and Facebook provide vast information outflow and will affect people thoughts immediately. As reported by human rights organizations, there are about 400 protests that happen all over the country every day. Chau Lee -a Chinese immigrant studying at San Jose City- shared that she left China and came to America because she wants to live in a society where government protect and listen to people. “Every human being should be protected by laws and everybody committees to obey laws. Everyone is equal, no matter who you are," said

As a Christian, we are compelled to speak the word of God and to spread the good news. Would you speak the word and the good news of God if doing so was against the law? Would you trust that God would keep you safe? What if you were thrown in jail, would you still continue to serve God and do as He commands? Xiqiu Fu, also known as Bob, served God and did as He commanded throughout even though it was against the law. Bob lived in China, where Communism runs wild. Being a Christian in China was very dangerous, but Bob was involved in underground churches, illegally printing Bibles, and holding Christian schooling. The law eventually caught up with Bob and he was thrown into jail. While in jail, Bob never once doubted God. Every situation that was handed to Bob, he used it as a way to serve God or to spread his good news.

Accordingly, I relied on Abby to set the tone in an opening presentation at the Southwest China anti-fraud conference, Post’s flagship anti-fraud event that brings together U.S. officials, multilateral partners, and local law enforcement to cooperate on combating visa fraud. Abby’s command of the room and of the difficult subject matter captivated our audience and laid out a roadmap of success for the day’s event. Furthermore, Abby’s cable on engagement between the U.S. and Chinese official travelers from Tibet tapped into core Mission agenda and policy discussions on how to increase U.S. engagement in Tibet by providing analysis on areas where we’ve already had success with these officials. She delivers relevant reporting that provides value-added insight to Mission and Washington
