Soong, foreign minister of China, purchases from Postmaster General Walker some of the new five-cent stamps symbolizing freedom and democracy in both the United States and China. The stamp carries pictures of President Lincoln and Sun Yat-Sen, first president of China, and a Chinese inscription. Charles Burton, @cburton001, senior Fellow at the Centre for Advancing Canada's Interests Abroad at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and Gordon Chang, @GordonGChang, Daily Beast, in re: Asia's and Canada's reactions to the election. China’s president for life, Xi Jinping; and Joseph Biden, very familiar with China and Xi. The China Democracy Foundation, chinadem.org, was founded to help scholars who've been targeted by China:  need to raise money to support Anne-Marie Brady’s legal costs* as she submitted a paper that the university claimed was a violati0n of its free-speech policy!  Agents of the Chinese state operating with impunity.  Biden might negotiate a trade of [quashing] intellectual freedom in these matters in exchange for other favors from China.  Trudeau’s attitude toward Beijing may shift with Biden. Strengthen the appeaser group in Canada?

China Democracy Foundation is crowd-sourcing at least $20,000 NZD (about $17,400 CAD) to help pay for her legal defense. Excess funds will be used to assist similar, fact-based China scholarship and journalism that has been subjected to legal attacks, and other defenders of freedom and human rights for the Chinese people —Professor Anne-Marie Brady is being investigated by her university after she named some local academics as working with institutions that allegedly have ties to China’s military.   The research was submitted to a New Zealand parliamentary committee in July and was also published by the Washington-based Wilson Center
