Hi, all:Just Andy this time, with a Thursday edition bonus episode, in which I talk with Brian Hioe of New Bloom, a bilingual online magazine with radical analysis of Taiwan and East Asia. On Monday, New Bloom published an explainer essay on the very confusing phenomenon of “tankies,” aka people who argue that the true leftist position is to support the Chinese Communist Party as a check on US imperialism. Most famously, tankies denounce the Hong Kong protests as bourgeois and right-wing, as puppets of US empire.Their statements are at once funny and depressing, amusing and exhausting. I think Brian and I agree, though, that they are worth taking seriously because they reflect a very real set of tensions in global politics—with few clear solutions.Whom do we “side with” in an increasingly closed-off, nationalistic world? Must critics of US foreign policy — and the long history of Euro-American colonialism and imperialism — choose other states to support instead? For a Gen Z critical of free-market neoliberalism, what “actually existing” alternatives are there to global capitalism?The New Bloom piece explores these questions by examining the mysterious Qiao Collective, whose members ostensibly belong to the left-nationalist Chinese diaspora. When it comes to the Asian diaspora (though not unique to it), there is the always fun, extra ingredient of confused identity and an unfulfilled sense of belonging, heightened by local xenophobic rhetoric.Given these factors, Brian fears that tankie ideology may continue to spread.Issues we touch on:Are Hong Kong’s protests “right-wing” if their citizens espouse xenophobia?Is the category “diaspora,” or huaqiao 華僑, good or bad?The Orientalism and self-orientalizing of tankiesTankies and US Republicans as bizarro mirror images of one anotherIs there potential for common dialogue? With tankies or with the everyday people of China?!!!Links:New Bloom: “The Qiao Collective and Left Diasporic Chinese Nationalism”Today (June 25) marks the 70-year anniversary of the start of the Korean War. KAP SEOL reminds us, “The US Didn’t Bring Freedom to South Korea — Its People Did” (Jacobin).The Critical China Scholars group (new site) will hold the 2nd of two webinars next Thursday (July 2) on the topic of “Against Racism and Nationalism.” Register at eventbrite here.A developing story worth monitoring is the border dispute between China and India, about one week old now. In India, there is now a call to boycott Chinese goods (most recently by hotels (SCMP), but analysts in India are skeptical if it’s even possible (The Quint). Worth paying attention to, if only because of the recent calls by other countries to decouple from China.Under-the-radar news: the Trump administration this week exploited the coronavirus pandemic to extend a ban on multiple visas into the US, from “high-skilled” (H-1B) to seasonal labor (H-2B) and other categories. Early analysis here (Common Dreams).Part of the hopeful wave of primary victories this week, Yuh-Line Niou successfully defended her seat against challenger Grace Lee in the Democratic primary for New York’s 65th Assembly District (including Wall Street and Chinatown). Beyond the superficial similarities of two Asian-American women running in the Democratic party, the two candidates represented different constituencies and political visions, a microcosm of the ongoing fight between liberals and progressives within the party (The Indypendent): As always, feedback, questions, and comments are welcome.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY ~ Colton Burpo was just a normal 4-year-old until his appendix ruptured. While in the hospital, he had a near death experience and visited actual Heaven, but came back to Earth to tell us about it. His story captivated the world, leading to a best-selling book that would eventually be adapted into this film in 2014. Our friend David of comedy team Loose Meat is an expert on this film because he once completely re-edited it in a way that turned the inspirational tearjerker into an ominous piece of claustrophobic family horror. Today June 7 2020 at 5PM PST we will be livestreaming this re-edit for all Boys' Bible Study patreon subscribers. Check out Loose Meat's vast collection of video and podcast work at http://loosemeat.biz/ and check out the music video they directed for "Processed by the Boys" by Protomartyr

Set your intentions for what you would like to create i.e Abundance, Love, Balance, Peace or anything you truly would like to receive and are ready to create for your life. New beginnings are so exciting, but you have to truly believe that you will receive and will begin to work alongside the universe to co-create your wishes and desires. Set some quiet time aside, clear energy in your place, light some candles,light some incense anything that will help to bring peace and calm into your space. Begin to write, speak or think about what you would like to manifest,. Pay attention to your words, whether they are spoken, written or in thought. After Whichever way you chose to communicate your wishes I want you to take deep slow breathes, envision that you have already received what it is you desire. Stay with the feeling and the excitement of the wish coming true. I will be posting a New Moon Distant Reiki healing audio to help you release the stuck energy that may be stopping you from manifesting and help you get into a place of calm, peace and balance so you can gain clarity of what you would like to manifest. Sending Love and Light and well wishes, I hope you receive everything your heart desires.
