TikTok to sue Trump administration over ban
This is the second litigation announced against the Trump administration in a week.
With their visas in limbo, journalists at Voice of America worry that they’ll be thrown out of America
“The new chief executive of VOA’s parent agency, a Trump appointee named Michael Pack, has stopped renewing visas, leaving 76 VOA employees like Segovia facing imminent removal — and undermining the agency’s ability to deliver news to non-English-speaking audiences around the world, staffers argue. Pack hasn’t said why.” —
Associated Press report yesterday gave new information that 16 VOA foreign correspondents, mainly from China and Indonesia, will be forced to return to their home countries in the next few weeks if they don’t get their visas renewed or extended. Associated Press doesn’t think they’ll have an easy time of it on their return, given their sensitive status as working for the U.S. government’s mouthpiece.
Lawsuit Claims U.S. WeChat Ban Is Unconstitutional
A WeChat users group that says it isn’t affiliated with the app’s owner filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration late Friday, seeking to block an executive order that would bar transactions with WeChat.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, claims the executive order is unconstitutional. It was filed by U.S. WeChat Users Alliance, a nonprofit organization, as well as other plaintiffs including a small business and several individuals.
Bloomberg reported that an army of corporate lobbyists are working with Team Trump to try and find a way to restrict WeChat’s use in the US without hamstringing every American company that depends on the app to connect with Chinese consumers.
According to sources from within the West Wing, the administration is still “working through the technicals” of how they’re going to restrict WeChat in the US while allowing American companies to liaise with it in foreign markets.
The Trump administration is signaling that U.S. companies can continue to use the WeChat messaging app in China, according to several people familiar with the matter, two weeks after President Donald Trump ordered a U.S. ban on the Chinese-owned service.
The administration is still working through the technical implications of how to enforce such a partial ban on the app, which is owned by Tencent Holdings Ltd., one of China’s biggest companies. A key question is whether the White House would allow Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google to carry the app in its global app stores outside of the U.S., according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Pearl S. Buck
Pearl Sydenstricker Buck (June 26, 1892 – March 6, 1973; also known by her Chinese name Sai Zhenzhu; Chinese: 赛珍珠) was an American writer and novelist. As the daughter of missionaries, Buck spent most of her life before 1934 in Zhenjiang, China. Her novel The Good Earth was the best-selling fiction book in the United States in 1931 and 1932 and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. In 1938, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature “for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China and for her biographical masterpieces”. She was the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

After returning to the United States in 1935, she continued writing prolifically, became a prominent advocate of the rights of women and minority groups, and wrote widely on Chinese and Asian cultures, becoming particularly well known for her efforts on behalf of Asian and mixed-race adoption.
I should not be truly myself if I did not, in my own wholly unofficial way, speak also of the people of China, whose life has for so many years been my life also, whose life, indeed, must always be a part of my life. The minds of my own country and of China, my foster country, are alike in many ways, but above all, alike in our common love of freedom. And today more than ever, this is true, now when China’s whole being is engaged in the greatest of all struggles, the struggle for freedom. I have never admired China more than I do now, when I see her uniting as she has never before, against the enemy who threatens her freedom. With this determination for freedom, which is in so profound a sense the essential quality in her nature, I know that she is unconquerable.

A Humble Chinese Worker’s Contribution to America
In the prestigious Columbia University, the department of East Asian Studies, there is a post for special studies of Chinese culture and Han teachings called the “Dean Lung Professorship,” which was established and funded by Horace Walpole Carpentier in 1901 to commemorate Dean Lung, his illiterate but noble Chinese servant.

近代中国史学泰斗钱穆记述了丁龙讲座的来历： 〝百年前广东有一华侨，名丁龙，居纽约。林肯总统时代，一将军退役后一人独居。雇一男仆，治理家务。但此将军性好漫骂，仆人辄不终约而去。丁龙亦曾为其家仆，亦以遭骂辞去。后此将军家遭火灾，独居极狼狈。丁龙闻之，去其家，愿复充仆役，谓其家乡有古圣人孔子，曾教人以恕道，曰：“己所不欲，勿施于人。”今将军遭火灾，独居，余曾为将军仆，闻讯不忍，愿请复役。此将军大叹赏，谓不知君乃读书人，能读古圣人书。丁龙言，余不识字，非读书人，孔子训乃由父亲告之。将军谓，汝父是一读书人，亦大佳。丁龙又谓，余父亦不识字，非一读书人。祖父曾祖父皆然。乃由上代家训，世世相传，知有此。此将军大加欣赏，再不加骂，同居相处如朋友。积有年，丁龙病，告将军，余在将军家，食住无虑，将军所赐工资，积之有年。今将死，在此无熟友，家乡无妻室，愿以此款奉还将军，以志积年相敬之私。丁龙卒。此将军乃将丁龙积款倍加其额，成一巨款，捐赠纽约哥伦比亚大学，创立一讲座，名之曰“丁龙讲座”。以专门研究中国文化为宗旨。至今此讲座尚在。但余居北平教读北大、清华、燕京三大学，教授多数以上全自美国留学归来，亦有自哥伦比亚毕业来者，但迄未闻人告余丁龙事。及余亲去美国，始获闻之。〞
