Many human rights protestors including Indian, Taiwanese and Tibetan protesters gathered for demonstrations near the Hachiko statue near Shibuya station in Tokyo on Sunday.
The protest was held to raise voice against Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is being criticised globally for a dictatorial style of working. On July 1, The National People's Congress is expected to vote on passing the national security law on Hong Kong, thereby threatening its state of autonomy.
The highly ambitious Xi Jinping is aggressively trying to expand and encroach territories of its neighbours like Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, India, and Bhutan, either by force or by grand, opaque and dubious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and One Belt One Road (OBOR) projects.
China's treatment of Uighur Muslims has also come under the scanner. On June 18, US President Donald Trump passed a bill that allowed the US to impose sanction on China over the mistreatment of the Uighur Muslims. The US House also passed a bill that imposed sanctions on the Chinese leader over Beijing’s intent to pass the security law on Hong Kong.
The financial hub has been under a state of turmoil due to pro-democracy protests and Jinping has been trying everything within his means to suppress the genuine voices of the youth activists in Hong Kong.
Until the 1950s, Tibet used to be a beautiful peace-loving Buddhist country which now has been swallowed by Chinese expansionism.
A highly advanced and progressive country such as Taiwan is also facing various pressure tactics from China and was recently denied representation at World Health Organisation at China's behest—even though Taiwan was one of the two countries in South East Asia, other being Vietnam which put forward a brilliant counter-strategy to combat the spread of COVID-19.
Cina has also come under the scanner of the US and other western nations for its alleged lack of transparency in sharing details about the origin of the coronavirus. A thorough investigation, headed by WHO will be carried out once the pandemic dies down.
