Mao Yushi 毛雨诗   UNIRULE 天则经济研究所 

祝毛玉熙97岁生日快乐！ 
  
Happy 97th Birthday Anniversary to Mao Yushi!

MAO Yushi, HONG Sheng:  The Peach Tree

毛,洪: 桃树     

The Unirule Institute of Economics (天则经济研究所); Tiānzé Jīngjǐ Yánjiūsuǒ) 

UNIRULE was founded in July 1993. It was located in Zhongguancun, Beijing which is often referred to as "China's Silicon Valley". This was about 3-5 kilometers away from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) where D. Carlton Rossi  taught doctoral students in 1993 and onward. The proximity of UNIRULE to CAS facilitated collaboration and interaction between the two institutions, especially in research and policy discussions. MAO Yushi, HONG Sheng were two of the original founders. Both played important roles in shaping economic policies among government officials and social discourse with the public.  

Note: On their website, Unirule is translated as "Tianze". It says  “Unirule” (or “Tianze” in Chinese) is a name with its meaning originally stemming from the words in Shi Jing, an ancient Chinese [Book of Songs], which says: “as the universe is created by the God, there have to be rules for it”. Thus, “Unirule” stands for Universal rules that in reality govern economic and other fields." 

The Fifth Anniversary

This is the Fifth Anniversary of the arrest of SUN Dawu known as The Great Noon.  He and his entire family were arrested.  This action made his grandchildren orphans according to Chinese law.  At midnight,  300 police in tactical gear armed with submachine guns and accompanied by attack dogs invaded the private property of Dawu City.  They seized all property which was later sold at a pittance.  SUN Dawu, his two brothers and his son still remain in prison. 

Of course, the arrests and seizures did not come out of a vacuum.  This account will give you an idea of what else transpired on that day of infamy. 

Michael Kovrig Freed after 1019 days as he arrives in Toronto

November 11, 2020       People's Republic of China 

Ambassador Dominic Barton was granted on-site virtual access to former diplomat Michael Kovig yesterday and to businessman Michael Spavor on Nov. 10, 2020.

Global Affairs Canada released no details about the meetings and said none will be forthcoming.

 300 Police Seize Family, Executives and Dawu Group company 

November 11, 2020     Langwuzhuang, Hebei

This day was chosen by the local government to arrest Sun Dawu and his entire family at gun point. The government wanted the news of the arrest to get lost in the online consumer frenzy of Single's Day. 

The author wishes also to bring to the reader's attention the importance of the date of November 11, 2020 which is known as Remembrance Day in the West.  Sun had reason to remember the anniversary of that date for another reason.      It was the seventeenth anniversary of the verdict of his earlier trial.  It is without doubt that he was arrested on November 11, 2020 because it is the date of that anniversary.  The government was signaling to him that he hadn't reformed with respect to "picking quarrels and provoking trouble".  In other words, he didn't mind his p's and q's.  It was a clear message to Sun. He had been arrested and Dawu Group had been taken over in 2020 as it had been in 2003.

It is Single's Day.  The date was not chosen randomly –- four ones symbolize lonely people.  Everyone is buying and not reading the news of the arrests and seizures or about the fifth anniversary of the arrests and seizures for that matter.

Chinese mainland warns Taiwan's DPP politicians against seeking contact with U.S.

In response to a question from a reporter of a Taiwan media outlet, she said recent actions by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force were "necessary moves" to safeguard China's sovereignty and "stern responses" to the DPP authority's provocative behavior. 

Chinese exploitation of Tibet

藏人大规模搬迁 Large-scale relocation of Tibetans

A New York-based human rights group states that millions of Tibetans have been forced to leave their homes and livelihoods as part of a mass government relocation programs aimed to control the ethnic group. Reports of Sept stated that Chinese authorities forced Tibetan farmers and herders into labour programmes similar to that in Xinjiang. They added that more than ‘500,000 rural labourers — mainly herders and subsistence farmers — were trained in the first seven months of 2020.’

Tales of Uyghurs who disappeared overnight in Xinjiang

November 11, 2020       Xinjiang 

ANI Update: The US Holocaust Memorial Museum here has recorded the tales of several Uyghur living in exile after fleeing Chinese state-sponsored persecution in Western China province of Xinjiang.  The horrifying tales of oppression told by those who were lucky to escape are enough to bring humanity to shame. 

New law to remove Hong Kong legislators

November 11, 2020 Hong Kong 

The law gave the government power to remove any legislators deemed “a threat to national security” without going through the courts.  Hong Kong promptly removed four of the more visible members of the pro-democracy movement, leading the remaining 15 members of the Legislative Council to resign.

November 11, 2020        Beijing 

Major food-producing countries are growing increasingly frustrated with China’s scrutiny of imported products and are calling on it to stop aggressive testing for the novel coronavirus, which some say is tantamount to a trade restriction.

China says it has found the virus on the packaging of products from 20 countries including German pork, Brazilian beef and Indian fish, but foreign officials say the lack of evidence produced by authorities means it is damaging trade and hurting the reputation of imported food without reason.

Falun Gong

November 11, 2020        Shandong Province  山东    China

The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) issued a statement on November 11, 2020, marking 26 years since the start of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and condemning China's repression of religious groups.

In 1999, Zhang's life and career were abruptly changed when the Chinese Communist Party began its persecution of Falun Gong.  A dual citizen of Canada and China, Zhang was arrested four times between 2000 and 2001 for practicing Falun Gong. He was beaten, tortured with electric shock batons, and subjected to forced re-education.

One of the stars called  (大尊) or Psi Ursae Majoris of the Great Bear Constellation is located on the far left. Allen interpreted 大尊 to mean “extremely honorable” by using the Wade-Gilles system. It was formerly one of the Royals in a Chinese constellation called Wuanyuan or Yellow Emperor.  Psi Ursae Majoris points directly to the Alpha star called Regulus which is at the heart of the modern constellation called Leo. 

Allen, Richard Hinckley, Ursa Major, Dover Publications, University of Chicago: 1899.

This poem or l'image© is part of The Elegant Celestial Giza Series©. 

For special purposes, the poet has classified this poem as Chinese.  It is Chinese because the poet originally drew a version of it in 2014 while in China.  It is Chinese because it is dedicated to SUN Dawu 孙大午 or The Great Noon.  It is Chinese because the title 孙大午: 大尊 天空的 狮头人像©  is in Chinese. However, the most important reason is because the I'mage© includes a special star.  This star which is visible to the naked eye is outside of the Big and Little Dipper asterisms as well as the Pole Star known as 11 Draconis (Flamsteed designation) or Thuban.  The star is Psi Ursae Majoris (大尊) within the Great Bear Constellation.  This star is located at the tip of the paw. The name was possibly derived from the word 太尊, Tàizūn, meaning Royals, because this star stands alone as the only member of the Royals asterism within the Purple Forbidden enclosure.  This I'mage© is the only one in the Great Bear Constellation as opposed to the Draco Constellation.  The I'mage©  symbolizes the Chinese and now universal Mandate of Heaven.

The Case of Sun Dawu

'Sapere aude!  Have courage to use your own understanding was Immanuel Kant's motif for enlightenment, and this is exactly what Sun Dawu, a private businessman from Xushui County in Hebei Province, has shown over the last ten or more years. 

Sun claims to be a Marxist and a believer in communism: however, not as an outcome of class struggle but rather as the highest form of capitalism which should deliver common prosperity. He sees the market economy as a moral economic system where businessmen are the moral actors.

A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORT

A billionaire pig farmer fights his conviction from behind bars as tycoons face crackdown in China

By DAVID LAGUE

Sept. 10, 2024

In a handwritten submission from his prison in rural northern China, billionaire pig and chicken farmer Sun Dawu implored the court to hear his appeal. He was serving an 18-year sentence on charges including corruption. There was far more at stake than his own unjust conviction, the 70-year-old tycoon wrote in his Nov. 16 plea.

Without his leadership, the business he’d built for decades would collapse, he warned. His company, Hebei Dawu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group, had more than ten thousand employees.

If his appeal was delayed, “the enterprise will be completely wrecked,” he wrote in the legal document, seen by Reuters. “I don’t think this is what leaders of the court, party committees and governments at all levels want to see.”

Harmony Through Tradition, Law and Prosperity

At Dawu Group, our essence lies in the fusion of ancient Confucian ideals, modern legal principles, and socialist visions of shared prosperity.  The Great Noon's vision shapes our corporate culture, blending tradition, rule of law, and common wealth. We strive for harmony and growth, guided by timeless wisdom and contemporary governance, towards a future of collective success.

Sun wants to establish an ideal city-state which will serve as a model for the rest of China. It is founded upon practical Confucian principles which have formed the basis of Chinese society and family for thousands of years. His goal is to transform a rural community based on agriculture to a civilized city-state (based upon culture) which has Chinese and international characteristics.  Specifically, he wishes to improve the quality of life for farmers and peasants by job creation.
