The global role of CPC and Xi Jinping in promoting a dialogue among civilizations
Dr.Nadia Helmy
The ruling Communist Party of China has hosted a "Dialogue on Exchange and Common Learning among Civilizations" on January 10, 2022, which was held in its second session, was attended by Vice Chairman of the Chinese Parliament "Ji Bingchuan", Foreign Minister of the Communist Party of China "Song Tao", and a number of among the senior leaders and officials of the Chinese state, with the participation of many political elites from former heads of government and officials of international and national organizations and bodies concerned with dialogue among civilizations and spreading the culture of coexistence, including the former Director-General of "UNESCO". The ruling Communist Party of China and Chinese President "Xi Jinping" play a prominent role in promoting dialogue among civilizations in the world with an open Chinese vision to all, in accordance with the principle of "the common future of mankind".
So, according to my area of expertise and especialising in Chinese political affairs, and my PhD thesis dissertation has already been focused several years ago on all policies related to the comrades of the Communist Party of China and its political elites, the Egyptian researcher will analyze the Chinese vision to the dialogue among the, as follows:
The Communist Party of China "CPC" and President "Xi Jinping's rapprochement" with all friends around the world: The CPC seeks to open up to more friends around the world. Therefore, the "CPC" maintains regular communications with more than (400 parties and political organizations in more than 160 countries in the world), and its circle of friends is constantly expanding. Looking to the future, the "CPC" is keenly to strengthen communications with all of the parties of the world, share Party-building and state-rule experiences, conduct exchange and dialogue among civilizations, enhance strategic mutual trust, and work with the peoples of the world to advance the "building of a community with a shared future for mankind and the building of a better world hand in hand".
The Communist Party of China and President "Xi Jinping" set a unique principle for the global vision of learning and benefiting from the civilizational achievements: This vision is based on respecting of peoples and nations, and giving the rights of differences among all, according to the actual conditions of every country and its internal circumstances.
The theory of the Chinese Communist Party known as "civilizational innovations" to open up to the peoples and civilizations of the world and support the policy of difference: The theory of "civilizational innovations" is based on respect for peoples and their differences with openness to all the features of progress achieved by the peoples of the countries of the world, through keenness on dialogue, exchange and cooperation with peoples and parties from all over the world, with the Communist Party of China "CPC", declaring its full support for those peoples in promoting cultural exchange and people-to-people friendship between them and China.
Develop a plan for the Communist Party of China "CPC" to share its experiences globally with countries and political parties around the world: The leaders and officials of the Communist Party in China affirmed their keenness to support global dialogue between China and all countries and peoples during the next five years, with the Communist Party of China "CPC" pledging to provide an opportunity for 15,000 people from the political parties that are representing all of the different countries of the world to conduct the exchange in China. The most prominent here, is the call of Chinese President "Xi Jinping" for the establishment of a (clear institutional mechanism) aimed at the regular holding of the "High-level Dialogue Conference between the Communist Party of China and World Parties", so that it becomes a high-level political platform with wide representation and global influence.
All the speeches of the Chinese President, Comrade "Xi Jinping", affirmed China's theory of "common global development contributions": This theory becomes clear after the Corona pandemic, by providing medical and health assistance to all countries and peoples to get rid of the negative effects of the global epidemic, and here China also provided a huge amount of (free aid, preferential loans, technical, human and intellectual support to all developing countries), with the focus of Chinese state leaders and officials within the framework of the "Chinese Belt and Road Initiative" on building a large number of projects in order to advance its economic and social development and improve the livelihood of its people.
The role of Chinese workers and citizens around the world in enhancing China's image in the civilized dialogue between China and the world, especially in developing and African countries: Perhaps what surprised me personally as a specialist in Chinese affairs specifically is the presence of thousands of Chinese scientists, engineers, businessmen, technicians, doctors, teachers, workers and volunteers who work. Now virtually in a large number of developing countries, working with local people to change their destiny hand in hand and side by side, according to Comrade "Xi Jinping's clear principle of China's support for the common destiny of mankind".
The declaration of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China to implement the "Plan for a Prosperous Society of the Chinese People and All Peoples of the World" by the year 2050: According to the planning issued by the (Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China), it was affirmed that by 2020, China will achieve building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, by 2035 it will basically achieve socialist modernization, and by 2050, China will achieve the construction of a strong, prosperous, democratic, civilized and harmonious modern socialist country for the well-being of the Chinese people and the rest of the world alike. This was confirmed by the leaders of the Communist Party of China in calling on the parties in the world to participate in China in creating more opportunities for cooperation and working to advance a (joint development and prosperity) among the various countries of the world.
China's role in maintaining global peace: The Chinese state participates in all international forums to promote global stability and peace, and at the present time, China contributes externally to the (payment of more than 36,000 Chinese peacekeeping forces internationally), China has also become a major contributor of forces and funds in the UN peacekeeping operations globally. We find that China has a major role in "maintaining international peace and security and managing conflicts globally", through the presence of more than (2,500 Chinese officers and soldiers to maintain peace and security in 8 regions for peacekeeping missions), despite the difficulties and dangers they face.
Chinese President "Xi Jinping's call" to reform and build the global governance system: Comrade Xi Jinping's call to advance the development of the international political and economic system in a more justice and rational direction, President "Xi Jinping" emphasized in all his political speeches on "China never seeks hegemony, and does not harm others or expand abroad", and focusing all China's efforts on achieving development at the international level among all partners and friends.
The Communist Party of China's call for all political parties around the world to develop "a new theory and foundations for building world peace and joint contribution to global development and protection of the international order: In confirmation of that call from the comrades in the ruling Communist Party in China, their call came to work with all countries of the world, most notably I have the serious emphasis on "China not importing the foreign style from abroad, and not exporting the Chinese style also abroad", and thus China's clarity in not forcing all other countries to copy and imitate the way China works.
Chinese President Comrade "Xi Jinping" and the leaders of the Communist Party of China (CPC) called to "narrow the gap between the North and the South": The Chinese view is to achieve economic globalization based on (openness, inclusiveness, public benefit, balance and mutual gain), and to create conducive conditions to the common development of all mankind and work together to advance development and prosperity for the countries of the world, and to eradicate poverty and underdevelopment, from which many peoples around the world still suffer.
The speeches of the Chinese President, Comrade "Xi Jinping", affirmed the application of the principle of "building a community with a shared future for mankind" by introducing the "Chinese Belt and Road" initiative: that is why the Chinese keenness on modernization and construction globally and helping everyone without exception achieve (the Joint Construction of the Belt and the Road), as a global platform for activating cooperation between the countries concerned to achieve common development.
China's global affirmation to respect the right of countries and peoples to choose and differ and build a common community for humanity: This principle is rooted in all principles and documents advocated by the Communist Party of China and its companions, with their affirmation of respecting differences between different countries of the world, and avoiding any differences, contradictions or frictions. It impedes the civilized dialogue between everyone, and raised the Chinese civilizational principle that "all people are belonging to one family", as they live under "one sky and one planet on Earth". Therefore, all the peoples of the world should adhere to the idea of "all under heaven from one family", and search for common ground while leaving aside differences and making joint efforts for (building a community with a shared future for humanity).
In conclusion, the essence of the idea of Chinese dialogue, which is meaningful to all countries, peoples and civilizations around the world, is the belief of the Chinese communist leaders and Chinese comrade "Xi Jinping", and the affirmation of the belief of the Chinese nation in the principle of "all under heaven from one family", by reference to the Chinese civilizational heritage, which calls for "loving of all people and creatures, make all nations live together in peace and a world of greater harmony". This was translated by the political discourses of the Communist Party of China and its General Secretary, President "Xi Jinping", and their affirmation of the Chinese nation's aspiration to live in a better world, and everyone's pursuit of justice for the public interest.

The role of China in fighting of fascism and racism
"Post-Communism Era", "Post-Democracy Era", in the face of "authoritarian liberalism"
Since the Egyptian researcher has begun her academic major in "contemporary Chinese political affairs and contemporary communist studies", I have focused on tracing the map of the spread and expansion of communist parties around the world, and the forces of the new left in Europe, the region and the world, and then my subsequent focus – according to the current situation to confront contemporary events – in tracing the features of American conflict and competition with China, I immediately realized that we, as academics specializing in political science, Chinese studies, and all other studies and various social sciences are in an urgent and urgent need to extract and present new analytical and interpretive theories, and after the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic "Covid-19", and the consequent American and Western attempts to "Politicize the pandemic and achieving political goals behind it against China". I immediately realized, after all these successive events, that we had actually moved academically and theoretically to the "post-post or beyond the post stage", which is meaning that:
"We have gone beyond the stage of democracy to "post-American and Western democracy", which is authoritarianism", according to my vision of the nature of the current real events, and even according to my new perception that China is now living in a new stage, which is the "post-communist stage", and it is the responsible stage that has become requires the Chinese, leaders and comrades of the ruling Communist Party in China to extract new epistemological theories to confront the state of "the emergency liberal authoritarianism and democracy", led by the United States of America and the West in confronting China, developing, marginalized and poor countries, in favor of the increasing gap between the rich north and the poor countries of the south".
Perhaps, the gradual US withdrawal from the Middle East to Asia, near the areas of direct Chinese influence, requires us, as academics and specialists in Chinese political affairs, to develop new theories that fit the nature of the stage. Perhaps my agreement with many of my academic colleagues around the world who are experts and researchers in the Chinese issue, about the need to move to China in the coming period to understand all the changes and data taking place there, which will allow me academically to work with the Chinese comrades analytically and research in many important files, related to the nature of the exact world stage, according to what it requires of interpretations and theories different from the previous stage.
I have become more convinced now, that we live in a period of real challenge, even at the academic and research level, that requires planning for the production and analysis of new theoretical and explanatory approaches, or an "analytical revolution to produce a set of contemporary theories", which I personally called it that (we are currently now living in a phase of interruption). And I am urging all of my other new colleagues in my same area of expertise in Chinese Politics to continue the academic work and their researches to create such new theoretical backgrounds, as the Egyptian researcher identifies that there's a "theoretical separation gap", which is completely different from what preceded it from the many other stages, given that we, according to my personal belief and my analytical and interpretive vision as an expert in Chinese political affairs, have reached the "post-post stage or beyond the post stage", that is, after everything, which requires a new look at the shape of the future. The present is from different angles than before.
According to my "new international academic analyses, and in my humble scholarly and academic capacity as an expert in contemporary Chinese political affairs and studies of the Communist Party of China", I can provide several "analytical and interpretive approaches", as an attempt to understanding the file and the reasons for the "American and Western politicization of the file of hosting the Winter Olympics in Beijing and linking it to new international theories of the Egyptian researcher, according to my comprehensive vision and analysis of events".
So, I will try to present and formulate some "new explanatory theories" to link it to the issue of "the American politicization of the Beijing Winter Olympics ideologically", and then apply them in practice to analyze the mechanisms and foundations of the new Chinese role in dealing with these events, by proposing some new creative theories and interpretations linking the past and the present to the future, as follows:
The world now lives according to my meticulous follow-up and analysis of events at a stage that has become far removed from what we previously studied in terms of political and international theories in our universities and academic specializations in political science departments in the entire Arab world, which I realized after my graduation and specialization in "the Chinese file, contemporary Chinese and Asian political affairs, the studies and theories of the Communist Party of China", that the entire Arab world and our entire region have fallen into the American and Western trap in the studies of political science and theories of international relations, and it became clear to me that – and perhaps unintentionally – we were directed to study American and Western theories mainly in the fields of political science and its contemporary international relations, but from a completely one and biased point of view.
Therefore, I was perhaps the only Egyptian and Arab academic that paid the price dearly by asking it to "modify all research methods and theories in political social sciences and introduce all Chinese and Asian political theories alongside those American and Western studies, to achieve a real research and academic balance, and so that our researchers do not live in an academic gap." and deep knowledge", especially with the disconnection between them and the Chinese and Asian academic and research theoretical schools specialized in conflict and region studies, which provide different analytical and interpretive approaches to studies of international and regional relations and how to manage them in a balanced and profound manner.
Some may wonder about the reasons for confusing things by presenting an analysis of the "issue of American and Western politicization of the Beijing Winter Olympics and its relationship to the work of a new comprehensive research and analytical review in all branches of social, political and international theoretical sciences, in order to take into account the renewal in international affairs by using the Chinese and Asian explanatory theories side by side of the other international theories ". Because I'm becoming more believed and fully realised now that:
"We actually are living in the era of "post-truth stage", specifically the era of post-truth in everything"
Here, we can identify that what is meant by the "post-truth era" is that era in which the dominance is not for those who tell the truth, but for those who know how to spread what they say on a large scale by following different means of communication that affect public opinion, even assuming their inaccuracy. The era in which the virtual reality, or the virtual reality, may be more influential than the actual reality, and is even able to move all the existing events, so that they are (the rule is the lie and not the truth), and from here, everyone knows the extent of the possibility of American and Western use of some events, and then recycling them, putting or even taking or cutting it as an appropriate truth, and that is the truth that the United States of America wants to promote around the world, and this applies in the current confrontation between Washington and Beijing, especially in the (file of politicizing the Winter Olympics in Beijing, in favor of an American anti-Chinese agenda). The spread of the other means of communication in the modern era has become easier than the traditional written press, and even all other media. Therefore, we can easily understand that (the truth has become lost and has been lost between the parties, it is not in lies, nor is it in a fact that is easy to verify).
I think that the form of practical application that I mean specifically now regarding the issue of American politicization of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the attempt of American politicians to distort the image of China, as the form of the current battle now between the United States and its allies and the People's Republic of China has become a (battle related to not who owns the truth, but rather who is able to spread what he wants from lies, fabricated and false narratives in a broader and more effective way than others), even if that is not the truth as the United States of America is doing in confronting China and hosting the current Winter Olympics.
By following this pattern of "post-truths", according to our understanding of that as before, you will find that "the truth itself does not matter", because we have actually moved to the (post-truth era), which requires a greater degree of awareness from the receiving public. Unfortunately, public opinion and the ordinary public at all its different levels do not have this awareness enough to research and analyze behind all that is published, and this is (what the American media machine is good at exploiting well for the crowd behind it), and behind all those false lies pursued by the American administration and American politicians in Washington to counter the growing Chinese influence globally.
This is what it applied analytically and interpretively to the file of "politicizing the Beijing Winter Olympics" and the relationship of Washington and the West with it, through "the misuse and exploitation of facts, distracting attention and vision from several aspects of shortcomings internally, and inventing a foreign, communist enemy of China to escape from all irrefutable confirmed facts", which states that "there are internal shortcomings in all the American and Western political systems that attacked China", which subsequently politicized all issues and events related to the Chinese and its ruling Communist Party.
According, to my analytical and interpretive vision, this is logically in line with what was confirmed by the Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service "Sergei Naryshkin", in public statements to him on January 18, 2022, assuring that:
"Russia has a lot of information about the actions of the United States and its allies to discredit the Winter Olympics in Beijing, and how Washington and its allies engaged in a large-scale provocation, with malicious interference in the preparations for the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The hero of these operations was the "US State Department" itself, which was coordinating all anti-China activities, related to the Winter Olympics through its use of all non-governmental organizations, the media under its control, and the United States of America followed exactly the same methods with Russia when announcing its organising of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in Russia during the year of 2014"
This American boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022, by the administration of "Joe Biden", recalls that previous American boycott that occurred in 1980, when Washington withdrew its athletes from the "Moscow Winter Olympics", in order to (protest immediately after the previous Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979). On the other hand, the former Soviet Union mobilized its allies in the face of American policies, as (the former Soviet Union and its allies boycotted the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles), which was hosted by the United States of America in 1984.
The Chinese response to the "American politicization of the Beijing Winter Olympics and its sporting events" came by describing this as a "failed American wish", as China described the possibility of boycotting the American politicians to the Winter Olympics that it hosts as wishes, given that (no American officials were invited by the Chinese government in the first place to Winter Games in Beijing).
China also rejected all those false American measures and the campaign of American lies and falsehoods in the face of China, and this was confirmed by "Zhao Lijian", the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, during the regular press conference that the Chinese Foreign Ministry invites all foreign media to cover, by implicitly affirming that:
"The Winter Olympics in China is not an arena for American political positions and manipulation against China. If the United States is determined to have its own way, China will also take resolute countermeasures"
Finally, we can explain here the impact of the American boycott on the current Winter Games in China, as I believe that "the American diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics will not affect the sporting events of the Games at all". Evidence for the correctness of this is what was officially announced by the White House spokeswoman, "Jen Psaki", who has been emphasizing that:
"All American athletes have the right to participate and compete in the Beijing Winter Olympics, they are free to do so, and the United States of America will support them 100 percent with their encouragement from the homeland, instead of being by their side in Beijing"
Based on those official US statements allowing athletes to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, we can conclude that the United States of America follows an "open door policy with China", knowing that the comprehensive US boycott decision will definitely have a broader impact on relations, which may complicate the efforts of The Biden administration is making progress with Beijing on issues, such as: (trade and economic talks and negotiations, arms control talks, efforts to de-escalate tensions over Taiwan), and others.
Not only did China's distortion and damage to its interests in the field of sports and the politicization of world sports, such as China's hosting of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, stop, but this deliberate distortion of history extended from the United States of America and the West, by deliberately ignoring and ignoring China's role in World War II with Western countries and allies to get rid of Japanese fascism. This is a (deliberate attempt for stigmatizing China now with the same old Japanese fascist accusations), and perhaps that was what stopped me the most analytically, is that despite the alliance of communist China with the liberal West at the time to eliminate tyranny and get rid of the Japanese occupation of China itself in World War II, but (the memory of American and Western history has been deliberately neglecting and completely dropping China's role in World War II with Western countries and allies to confront Japanese fascism and authoritarianism). This can be understood through the following points:
The issue of the "deliberate politicization of the Beijing Winter Olympics" has become clear to us another problem, which is the "falsification of facts and the intentional intentional distortion of China's positive role in World War II with the foreign powers of the West to achieve global stability and security": Here, the major obstacle to China has become. It is its endeavor to use history to defend its legitimacy, and even the constant annual concern of the leaders and officials of the ruling Communist Party in the annual celebration of China's victory with the allies in World War II, despite the West's failure to fully refer to the positive Chinese role with the Allied front in the victory and imposing the conditions for withdrawal and losing that war from Before Japan, thanks to China's help to the Western allies, and even the United States of America itself and the Western powers deliberately ignored highlighting any strong role of China with them in the face of Japanese fascism and racism during the period of World War II, and here was announced the formation of what is known as: (the declared alliance of Western democracies in the face of China led by the United States of America, and willful disregard for the role of communist China itself in the face of Japanese fascist and racist policies and authorities during the period World War II).
Neglecting of China's role with frank American ideological racist and ideological claims at the present time, including the "boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in China", drops from the memory of contemporary history of the positive and real role of China in fighting tyranny, fascism and racism, and the decisive Chinese contribution to achieving the allies' final victory in World War II: The same American and Western accusations against China were "fought by China itself" alongside the allies of World War II, including: the United States of America, Britain itself and the West, and the positive Chinese role played a prominent role in getting rid of Japanese fascism and racism. The fall and death of (35 million Chinese citizens between Chinese civilians and military) to get rid of the Japanese racist and fascist policies at that time.
We find the deliberate American and Western disregard for China's role in maintaining "Asia-Pacific" security, which was wasted by the United States of America by signing the "New Aukus Defense Agreement", concluded by Washington in the "Indo-Pacific" region at the end of 2021, with Australia and the UK, to confront China regionally, despite China offering millions of victims of its sons to maintain the security of that region in the face of Japan and for the benefit of the United States of America and the West themselves: China is considered the most prominent who made huge sacrifices during World War II "WW2", to liberate the Asian region from Japanese occupation, and China also fought a resistance Solid alone in the battlefields of the "Asia-Pacific" region, which the United States calls the "Indo-Pacific" region. Here, we find that the beginning of the actual war that China fought against the Japanese occupation over a period of 14 years, was the real beginning of World War II, and the longest war fought by the Allies and succeeded in it only because of China's help, in addition to the heroic role witnessed by Chinese soldiers and civilians during the resistance period, and its cause in (delaying the pace of Japanese military expansion, and achieving victory for the Allies in World War II, as China was the real backbone of victory in World War II).
The annual celebration of the Chinese leaders' memorial of victory with the allies in the Second World War "WW2″ against the Japanese occupation at the time became in March of every year, without American or Western participation in the first place: I followed, as an expert in Chinese political affairs, with a precise analytical and academic significance, the meaning of the content of boycotting of the Chinese annual celebration of its victory in the WW2 by the USA and the Allies in this time, with China's intentionality (organizing a huge military parade on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, during the month of March 2021), a ceremony in which the military armies of friendly countries were invited, and in which the Chinese President, Comrade "Xi Jinping", gave a speech in which he deliberately allayed the fears of those who were worried about the mighty power of China, asserting quite literally, that:
"No matter how powerful it is, China will never seek hegemony or expansion. China played an important role in defeating fascism in the twentieth century, and is now playing a role in maintaining the international order in the twenty-first century. China calls on all countries to respect the international order that it is supported by the principles and objectives of the United Nations "UN" Charter, in favor of building a new form of international relations, characterized by the fruitful cooperation of all parties, and promoting the noble cause of world peace and development"
The most prominent points ignored by the United States of America is the fact that a world that embraces democracy and liberal values, according to its description, can embrace authoritarianism as well: Here, most American citizens agree that (reforming American democracy at home is the most urgent task), with growing warning of the American analysts, who are believing that:
"The entire American democracy is in great danger, especially after the new voting restrictions and allegations by the former President of "Trump" of rigging the presidential elections, in favor of his rival, "Joe Biden"
The American call for building a grand American strategy around the world to fight tyranny and authoritarianism is counterproductive, supports China on the ideological front, and pushes other countries to rapprochement with the leaders of the ruling Communist Party of China: as this American call to divide the world on ideological bases, and its quest for spreading those liberal values abroad, in order to achieve political gains from them in the first place to confront China ideologically, so we find here that this American insistence in calling for confronting China's authoritarianism and communism in the world, may increase the fears of many countries with a possible effort by Washington to change their political systems, and thus the (possibility of the union and alliance of half of the non-democratic countries in the world will be essentially, according to the American classification), and push those non-democratic countries to take more disruptive steps abroad against American interests themselves, because of its interference to change their regimes and threaten their internal interests.
Here, we find that "framing international politics" according to the American and Western vision of its allies as a competition between ideologically different regimes, will certainly have an opposite effect on the structure of international stability itself: therefore, according to my own vision and analysis of the current scene, the American focus on that ideological aspect only in its relations with others and its classification as well of the world will inevitably push those authoritarian regimes, as the United States of America classified them, and on top of them: (China and Russia), according to that ideologically American classification, to (deepen China and Russia cooperation between them and those countries that are also classified as non-democratic countries by the USA itself). The structure of international stability will be seriously compromised, and (there will be a severe potential global structural divisions of an ideological nature will occur), and this is precisely what the United States and the West are pushing towards China.
This "deliberate ideological war against China historically" by distorting its real roles in maintaining the international order and eradicating the current poverty, fascism and Japanese racism, and deliberately overthrowing China's great role in World War II, is due to the "mainly American policy of double standards towards China": Which I called academically and analytically, according to my comprehensive view of the scene, as a "selective dealing with contemporary world history in favor of a hostile American agenda, and disrespecting the true history of mankind by dropping China's role in one of its most important and most prominent historical milestones in World War II". But, US policy deliberately ignored China's role, despite the writing of the most prominent American and international historians to highlight the global Chinese role, under the title of "The world owes China".
Hence, we conclude that the application of those previous criteria to drop China's role historically, on that current deliberate clash between China and the USA, besides the current American call for the world to boycott the Winter Olympics in Beijing, and its long call to "cancel China's hosting of the 2022 Winter Olympics", shows us with conclusive evidence to what extent of "the world's lack of standards of "global justice during its handling of events that changed the course of contemporary history towards the positive global role of China, and the historical role of its ruling leaders of the Communist Party".
Here, we will arrive at a final analysis, says that: "Targeting China has always become a deliberate and well-established policy of American and Western politicians to distort its role and deny and ignore its true historical roles in maintaining the interests of the global stability and security".
According to my understanding and analysis of the current appropriate Chinese confrontation mechanisms in the face of American boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, in fact, the United States of America has announced from the beginning, that it a state of (an organized ideological confrontation between democratic ideologies and alliances against a communist tyrannical ideology represented by China and its followers), so it has become a narrow American justification for the decision to boycott the Winter Olympics in Beijing, which is revolving around (the opposition of democratic countries to the participation of their ideological enemies).
Hence, as an expert specializing in Chinese political affairs and the policies of the contemporary Communist Party of China, I tried to present different interpretations and theories from the previous stage, given that we live in a "post-post" stage or post-beyond era", and this requires us, as specialists academics and experts in Chinese, political and international affairs, to present some new other creative "explanatory and analytical theories". There are many types that fit the nature of the current stage, and work to implement them in the form of the current confrontation between the United States of America with China, through:
Contemporary history assures us that decisions similar to the diplomatic boycott of sporting events in the first place take an (ideological form): The similar historical boycotting to the sporting events have been taken by a "same narrow ideological justification", such as the American claims to its vision of China and communist policies and dividing the world into two regimes of totalitarian authoritarianism and other liberal democratic regimes. Because of the American position refusing to participate, I found several similar events, such as: (the decision not to participate in sports games by some Islamic countries with the presence of Israeli athletes in the sporting competitions, or North Korea's absence from the 1988 Olympics, which was hosted by its enemy South Korea in the capital, Seoul). But the boycott that took place in the (Winter Olympics in Moscow in 1980), remains the largest in the history of world sports, after US President "Jimmy Carter" decided not to send athletes from his country to the Moscow Games in protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the Soviets responded after four years of that boycott the "Los Angeles Olympics 1984", in the United States of America. The greatest impact of each of these two provinces was on the medal table in sports competitions, as each side took advantage of the other's absence to increase the number of its medals.
It is necessary to present a new theory that goes beyond communism, even if it is linked to it in the first place, called "post-communism", in view of the current radical international change: my humble research and academic view is represented as an expert in Chinese political affairs, specializing in the studies of the Communist Party, Chinese and its policies internally and externally, in presenting a "modern, communist school that fits the global political reality, and is even capable of imposing itself in the face of the policies of American ideological competition against China". This is what requires us as academics and specialists in the fields of political science, especially after my deeply observation, as I have surprised that: "there are a serious division academically and at the international level in the field of Chinese and Asian theories compared to the other Western and American studies and theories in the Arab and Middle Eastern social sciences departments in our universities", given that the nature of the current academic work in the field of political science and comparative political systems, as my specific specialization of study, as well as the trajectories of international relations and the social sciences in general, is in urgent and seriously need to (extract and present other theories).
As for the theory of Chinese confrontation in the "post-communist stage", we find that the modern use of the term, in its positive aspect, reflects (a global communist aspiration to rebuild and produce other alternatives to the ideological confrontation methods with the United States of America): this is the Chinese-communist confrontation, If it is not tangible at the present time, it must be identified and proposed as a possible possibility for the framework and form of the existing ideological confrontation between Washington and Beijing, such as creating the social conditions and political forces that can move it and impose it on the ground. Only from this angle, we can understand (the reasons for calling for the return of the communist question in France and setting some new other post-communist rules and foundations", that fit the nature of the current stage), as well as those echoes received by French communist thinkers, such as: (Alain Badiou, Antonio Negre, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jacques Rancière), along with French Marxist writers who have never denied their belonging to communism, such as: (Lucien Seif, André Tozel, Jacques Bede, Daniel Bensaïd).
The need to develop a "post-communist theory", presenting modern explanatory foundations on which it is based in view of the nature of the current stage: which is meaning to reconsider the complex and disputed legacies of Chinese communism in its traditional form, which revolves around the "ideological embodiment of Chinese communism" of the founding fathers and its Communist Party. Perhaps with great respect for the values and construction of "Maoist ideas", it has become urgent to develop into other (ideas and forms of contemporary political discourse that suit everyone at home and abroad), and most importantly are able to respond firmly to all the projects of liberal democracies that the United States of America is trying to lead globally through a network of its alliances to confront China, and this remains a critical exploration of the foundations of the "post-communism". It is becoming more and more necessary. Here we can apply the Chinese post-communist theory in the title of the work, and not only revolve it around the founding companion of China "Mao Zedong", but it will proceed from "Maoism" to the stage of acknowledgment that the liberation ideas in Chinese thought were always the result of a collective production and not an individual one like the West.
The proposed ideas and foundations for the post-communist stage, must essentially go beyond the enormous influence exercised by "Mao Zedong" on political thought and discourse in modern China in particular and the comrades of the Communist Party of China: here, it is necessary for the current leaders in the Communist Party of China to remind themselves in creating some other constant (changeable new ideas, aspirations and promises of Chinese communism, that are not limited to a specific individual, time or time, but rather they are going forward with a contemporary communist future vision that goes beyond Maoism itself and is able to build on it). With this proposition, the "Post-Communist Chinese Stage and Theory", will surely point to new ways of thinking, speaking and practicing politics that involved in the participation of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. As is well known that "Mao Zedong" did not compose or write all the texts signed in his name, rather than the "Maoist ideas" were the form that the Chinese communism has taken for many years in a traditional ideological dominant language in the political discourses to teach the Chinese people and their masses the (foundations of leadership, rally around the leaders of the Communist Party, and face the challenges).
The beginning of the practical application of the "post-communist Chinese theory" will be from the premise of changing the contemporary Chinese political discourses, and understanding that the United States of America is not in a real, tangible and realistic conflict with China: we can implicitly notify that the USA, as much as it is a struggle with itself over its suffering from many serious internal issues, besides other external challenges which they have lost the element of success. We note that the United States of America is trying to blame its failure on many inside and outside files on other external parties, such as: China and Russia. The prominent example here is the sudden American withdrawal from Afghanistan and the subsequent violations of human rights, bombings and deaths after the "Taliban movement" took control of the government, and the other (subsequent international sharp criticism against the Washington's failure policies), especially from its European allies, who are now bothered by these (American unilateral and individualistic behavior without consulting its NATO allies before taking important decisions internationally), as well as the growth of other American internal problems, such as:
(The crises of marginalization of the poor citizens, racism against its black people with African roots, increasingly of the economic divide and inequality, and the political tensions in both internally and internationally levels)
Perhaps the "post-communist theory of contemporary China" will depend on the Chinese necessity to adopt (two different approaches and styles of contemporary discourses in the face of current American policies), the first one, which should be a discourse towards the American people and its nation themselves, and the second one is to confront the American politicians: what stopped me in this regard is the failure of the US government itself to persuaded several major US companies to participate in the game of "politicizing the Beijing Winter Olympics file" to participate with their country in the "diplomatic boycott" of the Beijing's Olympics. But, (many of the largest American companies have refused to bow to the demands of their American government to "politicize the Olympics"). Despite the efforts of the US administration to organise many prominent activities to persuade its large companies and all of the other interests not to participate and boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics, with the assistance of some numerous other human rights activists, who are so close to the American administration itself to interfere in this regard. So, the Egyptian researcher is suggesting here, that "China in the post-communist era" should adopt a different discourse around which the American people themselves, who are rejecting the policy of their government.
What is worth mentioning and analyzing here, is the refusal of most of these American and Western companies to cancel their sponsorship of the Olympics, and even implicitly announce their broadcast of the Beijing Winter Olympics through their own network of channels: most of prominent American and Western large multi national companies have refused to participate with their governments and politicians in what they called "the risk of insulting China", and even openly challenged their politicians, in favor of China, by (declaring publicly to uphold all trade agreements with China). There are hundreds of American sponsors and major advertising companies also announced their participation in covering the Olympics in advertising and commercial, and many of the (American sponsorship large companies, prominent prestigious agencies and TV Channels have been undertaken to sponsor the international sports events at Winter Olympics in Beijing), considered the People's Republic of China as one of their (largest global markets) for them at all, and their collective unwillingness to harm their interests, in favor of some controversial political issues that they don't give them any kind of consideration at all.
The announcement by the major American private channels about broadcasting matches, games and all the events of the Beijing Winter Olympics publicly came in flagrant defiance of the orders of its American government and administration to politicize decisions against China: we can find out that "NBC TV network", which had certainly benefited from a similar previous experience by canceling the broadcast of the "Moscow Olympics in 1980", based on orders from the US government to boycott the Russian Winter Olympics at this time, but at that time it has incurred heavy losses for its participation to the game of politicizing the Olympics and sporting events in favor of limited political issues between its government and others. Indeed, many US channels networks announced the transfer of the Beijing Winter Olympics, declaring that:
"Sales of publicity advertisements for the Winter Olympics in Beijing were strong, and continued to extend to the last moment, given the importance of the global sports events hosted by China"
The challenge of the US administration to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics from its home did not stop at the level of American athletes, companies and sponsorships, but extended to many other European and Western allies countries of Washington itself: we can analyse by observation the case of "real, tangible and public Western challenge to the American diplomatic boycott" of the Beijing Winter Olympics has emerged, which is what was announced by the Minister of Science and Culture of the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture during an interview with the Finnish National Broadcasting Corporation on January 17, 2022, in his public statement about his travel to Beijing to attend the Winter Olympics in February 2022, with the official confirmation of Finland, despite being a Scandinavian democratic important country, that:
"Washington will never share its desire to boycott sporting events and politicize sports for narrow limlited political agendas"
It has become more clear now that we have entered the "post-democratic era", a stage in which populist currents and illiberal trends have become prevalent, as is the case in Europe and the West: here, we find the American insistence on dividing the world, after holding a conference on "Leaders Summit for Democracy" on December 9, 2021, with the aim of creating a clear (global division between countries that adopt democratic values and the authoritarian, totalitarian, non-democratic ones), which caused an international rift that resulted in more divisions and confrontations, which may lead to the question, concerning:
"Is that American democracy only one pattern and measured by American standards only? And whether the practices of the United States in the Middle East, such as: military occupation, stirring up unrest, and others, are considered democratic practices that are accepted by the United States and internationally?"
Here, I fully agree with the words of the Chinese President, Comrade "Xi Jinping", in his deep understanding and analysis of the concept of democracy, by his assertion that:
"The best shoes are the ones that fit the feet, and the best way of government is the one that serves the welfare of peoples and societies. Democracy is not a private patent for any country, but rather the common values that all countries of the world have developed, based on their historical traditions and political realities should be highly respected"
Comrade "Xi Jinping's view" here, is that the people have the right to judge whether the development path in their country is appropriate or not? For example, China insists on dealing with all countries and regimes, and even supports African and poor developing countries, from West Asian and North African countries and encourages all of them to (follow the development methods that suit their national conditions, and China is committed to respecting the sovereignty of countries by calling for consultations on an equal footing, strengthening solidarity and cooperation between everyone). Also, according to my accurate reading of the reality, we have also gone beyond the stage of globalization by other stages. We are no longer in the "post-globalization era", but we are in the "age of adaptation to the results of globalization", which is represented in the need for rehabilitation and continuous education to keep pace with modern technology and artificial intelligence, and this stage requires a radical change in "the language and vocabulary of the Chinese post-communist political discourse", according to what I have been indicated and aforementioned analyzed.
After my new analysis of the new theories of "post-communism era" and "post-democratic era", I may arrive here with a fundamental assertion, that the United States does not have the right to judge whether it is a democracy or not. This was confirmed by the great Chinese thinker "Confucius", who has always been stressing that:
"If a person cannot correct his own behavior, how can he correct the behavior of others?"
Here, although the United States of America claims that it is a "beacon of democracy", it has committed all kinds of violations against the most basic principles of human rights and democracies, by intervening to change regimes by force in the Middle East, such as the Iraqi and Afghan cases. Then its chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the consequent tangible regional and international chaos, in addition to the most important thing, which is "the American failure itself to impose its democratic and liberal values by force around the world," and its dealings with many authoritarian regimes and even protecting them to achieve its interests.
Hence, we actually have to search theoretically and academically for other (analytical and explanatory approaches), in order to enter into new theoretical directions in the world of "post-postmarks", which necessitates a reconsideration of American democracy itself, and the reproduction of the world of new ideas in the era of "post-democracy, post-communism, and authoritarian democracy", according to the nature of the current confrontation mechanisms between the United States of America and China in the international arena, and the new discourses should be adopted and fitted with the existing events.


A new study suggests climate change could pose trouble for picturesque Walden Pond and one way to stave it off could be asking swimmers to resist the urge to urinate, which provides nutrients to microorganisms that can choke the pond.
It will be "prudent to further reduce the flow of anthropogenic nutrients to Walden Pond under the warmer, wetter conditions that most climate models project for New England during the 21st century," said the study, which was published in the journal PLOS One.
The study suggested that swimmers be asked to refrain from urinating in the pond and that perhaps a swimming pool could be constructed as an alternative swimming spot.
"Swimmers are probably the largest source of such nutrients now, and demand for the beach facilities is likely to increase in a warmer future. Swimmer-education programs or construction of a separate swimming pool facility nearby to relieve pressure on the lake might therefore be advisable," the study said.
Curt Stager, a professor of natural sciences at Paul Smith's College in Paul Smiths, N.Y., who led the research, said even tougher measures, such as banning swimming, would be even better, to keep the pond from becoming murky.
"That would be ideal for the sake of the lake. I think it would be a tough sell for the public," he said, noting that people love to swim there and, for some, it's a family tradition.
Two Paul Smith's College students work with a core sample of pond sediment.
As the climate changes, the water is expected to get warmer, which will favor algae that make the water murkier. The warmth also helps more phosphorus, a key nutrient for the algae, escape from the sediment at the bottom, he said.
"Phosphorus is a fertilizer. You put it on a crop, the crop grows better. . . . You put it in a lake, the algae grow better," he said.
The other problem with the warmer temperatures is that it will lure more people seeking relief from the heat to the pond, "and a certain percentage of them pee," he said. Previous studies have found that half the phosphorus in the lake in the summer comes from human urine.
Although the warming can't be stopped, people's behavior can be changed. "It's controlling what you can," he said.
Researchers took core samples of the sediment at the bottom of the pond to follow up on a study done 20 years ago. Stager said researchers wanted to see if the efforts of the Department of Conservation and Recreation have been successful in stabilizing the water quality.
This microorganism, Discostella stelligera, has become less common as the pond has become murkier.
"The good news is it's been holding steady. The scary part is they're going to have to work harder to keep it that way" because of climate change, he said.
The research, which was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, also looked at sediments deposited as far back as 1,800 years ago to see what effect past climate changes had on the lake and "anticipate what the future might hold," he said.
The 64-acre pond in Concord was immortalized by Henry David Thoreau, who wrote about communing with nature and himself in his book "Walden." Thoreau is considered a forefather of the American environmental movement.

East Tawas is a small city, although it has a very lively downtown area. The main downtown area would probably be considered the six-block area between Sawyer, Lincoln, Bay, and Main Street. Downtown East Tawas is home to many small shops. Many of these shops can be found on Newman Street, inlcuding the Book Nook, Village Chocolatier, Windjammer's, etc.
Every shop has a small town feel and sells unique items. Many restaurants can be found here as well. A major attraction in downtown would be the Newman Street mini mall. Downtown is also home to the only movie theatre in the small town of East Tawas.

AC302-Advanced Management Accounting
Module Provider: Business Informatics, Systems and Accounting
Terms in which taught: Autumn term module
Pre-requisites: AC201 Management Accounting or AC208 Management Information
Module Convenor: Dr Ekililu Salifu
Email: e.salifu@henley.ac.uk
Management accounting may be seen as a way of providing information in three main areas: costing, decision-making, and planning and control. The emphasis of this module will mainly be on the last two areas (i.e., decision making and planning and control). In reality, however, it is often difficult to separate any one area from the other two. For example, standard costing provides costing information which is then used as a tool for planning and control.
This module is delivered at University of Reading UK, University of Reading Malaysia and Beijing Institute of Technology.
This module aims to further develop students' critical understanding of the role of management accounting in organisational decision making and control. It seeks to provide students with a critical conceptual and technical understanding of management accounting tools and techniques relating to the provision and use of financial and managerial information in organisational decision-making, planning and control. An emphasis is placed on the strategically focused organisation in the modern business environment.
By the end of the module it is expected that students will be able to:
1. Discuss the requirements of accounting for managers in relation to planning, decision making and control in the modern business context;
2. Prepare or complete quantitative statements to provide a basis for effective management problem solving and decision-making;
3. Recognise and discuss the qualitative aspects, including behavioural aspects, of decision-making, planning and control and appraise these in relation to management accounting problems especially in relation to:
a. the effects of using traditional management accounting systems in a modern business environment
b. performance measurement and performance management
c. organisational change
d. effective remuneration and incentive (reward) systems.
4. Organise and communicate information clearly, succinctly and in the required format, both under timed conditions and in assessed work; and
5. Critically assess selected academic and professional literature
Structured activities are designed to develop independent learning, including reflective, adaptive and collaborative learning. Students will be provided with opportunities to use information and communications technology for business applications through use of relevant web resources and electronic communication techniques, including Blackboard. An emphasis is placed on collaborative learning through use of Blackboard Wikis or the Discussion Board to develop solutions to case study problems.
Use of traditional management accounting in the modern business environment; analysis of costs using high/low and regression methods; advanced costing techniques; multiple product CVP; multiple scarce resources and the calculation of shadow prices; pricing strategies including the consideration and calculation of price elasticity of demand; effects of the learning curve; performance measures, including balanced scorecard; divisionalisation; behavioural factors in decision making processes including a consideration of remuneration and incentive (reward) systems.
Global context:
The module is situated in an internationalised context. Relevant case studies will be drawn on where necessary, to explore and develop a practical understanding of aspects of the module.
A combination of lectures and practical classes/workshops will be used for the delivery of the module. Lectures will be used for the exposition of the main concepts, principles and techniques associated with the discipline. The workshops will focus on numerical practice and discussion of examination style and case study questions.
Lectures 20 2
Practicals classes and workshops 16
Exam revision/preparation 22 20
Completion of formative assessment tasks 20
Group study tasks 20
Essay preparation 5
Total hours by term 156 22 22

Is Ong Tee Keat just "crying wolf" in the MCA "Ong-Chua" power struggle or is his revelation of death threat to him and BN-underworld politico-business"dark forces" compromising Cabinet decision-making for real?
Posted by Kit in MCA on Wednesday, 29 July 2009
MCA Vice President and Health Minister, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai thinks he is being smart when he is being downright foolish.
He thought he had found a very clever way to respond to my lodging a police report on Monday to protect Ong Tee Keat's life from death threat revealed repeatedly in the public by the MCA President himself.
What Liow does not seem to be able to grasp is that my police report is not just to protect the life of the MCA President, but that of a Minister and all members of the Cabinet as Ong had revealed multiple serious crimes being committed not only because of the death threat to him but also about "dark forces" of politico-business underworld combined with Barisan Nasional elements to compromise and suborn government decision-making process all the way to the Cabinet.
It is therefore not just a matter of concern solely to MCA leaders and members but a public issue concerning the integrity of the government and Cabinet which must be the concern of every public-spirited Malaysian citizen.
Why is Liow completely unconcerned that Ong has received a death threat and Ong's serious allegation of "dark forces" of politico-business underworld and Barisan Nasional elements to coerce and arm-twist Cabinet Ministers?
Is MACC prepared to submit to a public inquiry to establish that it is not any manner responsible for the "black blog" set up in past week to defame DAP Selangor Excos with lies, half-truths and doctored documents
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Crime, Teoh Beng Hock on Wednesday, 29 July 2009
Suspicions abound as to who are responsible for the "black blog" which had appeared anonymously in the past week to defame DAP Selangor Excos, Ronnie Liu and Ean Yong Hian Wah, accusing them of corrupt practices, based on lies, half-truths and doctored documents.
One suspicion is the MACC or MACC officers, in order to deflect public outrage over the mysterious death of Teoh Beng Hock at the MACC Headquarters on July 16, 2009.
As Professor Dr. Shad Faruqi of the of the Faculty of Law, UiTM wrote in the Star "Ferreting out the Facts" today, many questions cry out for answers about the Teoh's mysterious death at MACC, including:
After Teoh was released, did he make any telephone calls which could give some pointers to the time of his death? Was his handphone seized? Was his handphone tampered with? Were the injuries on his body the result of the fall or of prior abuse by himself or by others?
Did he die because of the fall or was he already dead when his body plunged to the floor below? Did no one hear the sickening thud of his body falling nearly 10 floors?
Najib – turn the first stone to find out the causes and circumstances of Teoh's unusual death at MACC by respecting the family's wish and set up Royal Commission of Inquiry
Posted by Kit in Crime, Najib Razak, Teoh Beng Hock on Wednesday, 29 July 2009
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak has not turned a stone in the past 13 days although he promised the Teoh Beng Hock family yesterday that "no stone will be left unturned" to find the causes and circumstances of Teoh's mysterious death at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Shah Alam on July 16, 2009.
I met the Teoh Beng Hock family members, father Teoh Leong Hwee 62, elder brother Teoh Beng Kee, younger sister Teoh Lee Lan and fiancée Soh Cher Wei at the Shah Alam court complex for Teoh's inquest this morning, and they told me that the Prime Minister conveyed his condolences and explained the Cabinet decision to set up two separate inquiries, one an inquest by a magistrate into Teoh's death and the other a Royal Commission of Inquiry into MACC's investigative techniques.
In the press today, it was reported that Najib told the family that the findings of the inquest would also be considered as input for the royal commission of inquiry and that the two-prong approach would hopefully arrive at the truth in a fair and just manner.

As the Chinese say may you live in interesting time. And we do, we do – but what will Tunku, Tun Razak and Tun Hussein Onn think of what is now happening to their country, our country?
Are there 'external forces' disrupting peace in the country?
Are there anti social elements within the country trying to create fear in the mind of the Rakyat for their own selfish purposes?
Are racial factions with vested interest fighting over petty issues that will disrupt peace and calm and create panic amongst the population in the country?
