CHEN: In a recent recording obtained by NTDTV, China's ambassador to Italy, Sun Yuxi admitted that the Chinese Communist Party is behind Eutelsat stopping NTDTV's signal into China. The recording, from the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) shows that Sun also told Eutelsat chiefs to cooperate closely with the Chinese regime. [Sun Yuxi, Chinese Ambassador to Italy]: I talked to their [Eutelsat] CEO and vice CEO because they were helping Falun Gong with their channel. But they explained to me repeatedly that they didn't do it on purpose, that they [Falun Gong] got it on [the satellite] without their knowledge [of the broadcast content], etc. Anyway, that's their explanation. After they turned off [NTDTV], they [Eutelsat] came to the counselor for science and technology at our embassy and asked him to relay to me that since I've told them many times, they have now taken care of it, and they will never again allow anything related to Falun Gong to show up. We encouraged them and told them, 'Don't ever get involved with Falun Gong, you should work with us and promote a positive image of China.' They apologized many times and guaranteed such a thing will never occur again. They want to work with CCTV [Chinese state television], and for now, they want to work with China Aerospace and use our rocket to launch their communications satellite and weather satellite." On July 10, Reporters Without Borders published the tran scri pt of a conversation between a Eutelsat employee and someone who he thought was a Chinese official, which revealed a supposed "power anomaly" as the reason for signal cutoff, was in fact a politically motivated decision due to pressure from the Chinese regime. Sun's words along with New York Consul General Peng Keyu's recording last month show Chinese diplomats engage in activities outside of their job duties. Exporting human rights violations to foreign soil and interfering with foreign business operations have now become routine practice for the Communist regime.

 Japan and S. Korea at Loggerheads

CHEN: A group of rocky outcrop islands are at the center of a nationalistic storm. Both Japan and South Korea claim ownership. Insulting behavior has increased and now blood is flowing. STORY: A diplomatic bust-up between South Korea and Japan over a territorial dispute turns bloody. A group of former South Korean elite soldiers slaughtered Japan's national bird outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul. The pheasants smashed bodies were left to bleed out on Japanese flags, each one carrying a picture of prime minister Yasuo Fukuda. The Japanese leader rekindled the territorial tug-of-war over this unihabited island chain last week, when he reportedly told the South Korean president of Japan's plan to refer to the islands as Japanese territory in teaching manuals. [Oh Kwang-Sik, Former South Korean Soldier]: "The Dokdo is clearly our territory and the Japanese government must stop distorting not only their textbooks but also history." South Korea refers to the desolate islets as Dokdo. Japan calls them Takeshima. The islets, which are roughly equidistant from Korea and Japan, lie in rich fishing grounds which are also thought to contain potential natural gas deposits. South Korea believes its territorial claim is stronger, not least because the country maintains a martime police force there. Earlier this week, South Korea recalled its ambassador to Japan in protest. President Lee Myung-bak has promised a tough response, including possible legal action. Heated protests outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul are set to continue. Author: NTDTV Keywords: Ntd Ntdtv News Japan S.

 Bloggers and Politics in South Korea

June 28, 2008
CHEN: South Korean bloggers are not only taking to the streets protesting U.S. beef imports but also becoming influential citizen journalists. Their online claim that beef import could put Koreans at risk of mad cow disease, was watched by two hundred million Internet users a day. STORY: The recent beef protests in Seoul are the biggest South Korea has seen in 20 years. Spurred by a flurry of online gripes that a deal to import US beef put society at risk of mad cow disease - these tech-savvy activists showed that they could take control of political and news agendas. [Do Jung-Gwan, Citizen Journalist]: We just relied on the established media in the past to get to know the important issues. But it has changed -- we can take pictures ourselves and post them on the Internet. This new culture is changing the way our country does politics. The government was caught off-guard. After winning by a landslide in December's election, the president's approval rating is now barely 20 percent. With technology, activists also became more potent protesters, sending out messages urging friends to meet up at demonstrations and warning them when the police started to make arrests. They didn't just shout slogans - they took pictures, quickly posting them on the Internet - going from activists to citizen journalists. Some websites went from 40 million pages viewed a day to 200 million. However, there is the need to weed through biased opinions and inaccurate reports. One citizen journalist said it wasn't easy to post pictures or videos on the Internet which went against the popular flow. [Lee Gwi-Jin, Citizen Journalist]: If we post any pictures representing the government's opinion or any pictures showing the demonstrator's violence, many say we're working for the ruling party -- even if we always try to report impartially. I feel at a loss with the situation. It just proves the Internet is powerful, if not unwieldy.
