  • China issues rules on countermeasures against foreign states’ unlawful extraterritorial jurisdiction

    BEIJING, April 13 – Chinese Premier Li Qiang has signed a decree of the State Council to publish a new set of rules on countering foreign states’ unlawful extraterritorial jurisdiction measures.

    The regulations, consisting of 20 articles, take effect upon publication.

    According to the rules, such extraterritorial jurisdiction measures refer to actions taken by a foreign country that violate international law and the basic norms governing international relations and that harm China’s sovereignty, security and development interests, or the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and organizations.

    The rules also stipulate that the Chinese government has the authority to take countermeasures in response to such actions.

    They also state that the Chinese government has the authority to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction over relevant conduct if a sufficient nexus exists.

    The regulations establish a system of a malicious entity list targeting foreign organizations and individuals that promote or participate in the implementation of a foreign state’s unlawful extraterritorial jurisdiction measures.

    The regulations also state that no organization or individual shall enforce or assist in enforcing such unlawful jurisdiction measures.

    The regulations state that Chinese citizens and organizations affected by unlawful extraterritorial jurisdiction measures may file lawsuits against those enforcing them, and that government authorities will provide guidance and support for such legal actions.

    Looks like China is finally ready to go beyond strongly worded letters now that the empire is lighting a fire under their asses.


  • Your Party Scotland ‘over’ as leadership team resign en masse

    The 12-strong interim Scottish executive committee have quit, accusing the UK leadership of a “generational fumble”, as they announced they would set up a rival outfit.

    In a joint statement, the outgoing Scottish leadership committee said: “As a result of this consistent denial of autonomy for Scotland, and a willingness by the UK leadership to sideline an entire nation by withholding funding and mailing lists and refusing to engage, we have, after careful thought and consideration, taken the collective decision to resign our positions on [the interim Scottish executive committee], having found ourselves completely blocked when we attempted to carry out the clear mandate set for us by members from across Scotland.”

    “No serious attempt to unite the left can be done through purges of socialists or by disregarding entire nations and their representatives,” said the outgoing Scottish members.

    When you’re such a shitty leader that you cause the party to split before it even really started. Embarrassing. Corbyn is a master at repeatedly getting ratfucked by the wreckers he surrounds himself with. I don’t think he should ever be trusted as the leader of a leftist party again at this point.
