It is no longer a secret and also no conspiracy gibberish. It is a tough conspiracy of the dictatorships and authoritarian forces of the world against democracy, market economy. Their enemies are USA and Israel. Subscribe VonNaftali for $29,90/yr
The economic bonds between Israel resp. USA and China has to be disconnected. Maybe difficult, but necessary. Better Israel and USA make more deals and accords with India South Corea, Japan or Taiwan. What China is selling can be easily superseded by products from the said states which are all by and large democracies and part of the free world.
Iran is the largest supporter of islamic terrorism worldwide and the main enemy of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. The aim of the antisemitic Mullah regime is the annihilation of the State of Israel. Hence, any deal with China is deadly for Israel.
According to a press release of FDD (Foundation for Defense of Democracies): “Tiandy Technologies, Inc., based in the northern China province of Tianjin, supplies products used by Chinese Communist Party officials to track and torture Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities, according to FDD report “Targeting Tiandy: The Case for Blacklisting a Chinese Tech Firm Tied to Crackdowns on Uyghurs and Iranian Protestors.”
In addition to being a top supplier to China’s security services, Tiandy has also reportedly sold its surveillance technology to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other Iranian government entities, writes Craig Singleton, the report’s author and FDD Senior Fellow.
Among the Tiandy products reportedly sold to Iran are network video recorders that digitize and store surveillance videos, using microchips Tiandy produced in partnership with U.S. manufacturer Intel. Tiandy also manufacturers “tiger chairs” used by Chinese authorities to immobilize and torture Uyghurs, Tibetans, and other minorities in China.
“Chinese leader Xi Jinping remains deeply committed to remaking the world in China’s techno-dystopian image,” says Singleton, who serves as deputy director of FDD’s China Program. “While democracies remain slow in responding to international crises, the proliferation of companies like Tiandy represents an existential threat to democratic values the world over.” The FDD report comes as Iranian and Chinese authorities continue brutal crackdowns on domestic protests.
Despite Tiandy’s role in helping the authoritarian regimes in Beijing and Tehran, the company is not subject to U.S. sanctions or export controls, Singleton writes. “For too long, companies like Tiandy have operated with impunity. Action against Tiandy would send a clear message that Washington takes Chinese techno-authoritarianism seriously and will hold accountable those who facilitate Beijing and Tehran’s abuses,” Singleton says.”
