[deutsch] – Mit ihrem harten Vorgehen in Hongkong gefährdet Chinas Regierung eines ihrer wichtigsten Finanzzentren. Anders als früher scheint sie das in Kauf zu nehmen – die innenpolitische Stabilität ist ihr wichtiger. Artikel von Ralf Ruckus in der WOZ vom 9. Juli 2020: https://www.woz.ch/2028/chinas-hongkong-politik/wie-ein-stachel-im-fleisch
[deutsch | english] – The movement is back on Hong Kong’s streets while the planned security bill not only threatens the limited autonomy of the Special Administrative Region but also fuels the conflict between the USA and China. This is the translation of an article that appeared in the Swiss weekly WOZ on June 4, 2020.
[deutsch | english] – Die Bewegung ist zurück auf Hongkongs Strassen. Derweil bedroht das geplante Sicherheitsgesetz nicht nur die begrenzte Autonomie der Sonderverwaltungszone, sondern befeuert zugleich den Konflikt zwischen den USA und China. Der Artikel erschien am 4. Juni 2020 in der WOZ: https://www.woz.ch/2023/kampf-um-hongkong/an-der-frontlinie-eines-neuen-kalten-kriegs.
[bahasa | english]– Pada 1 Maret 2020, pekerja migran domestik asal Indonesia, sekaligus penulis dan jurnalis bernama Yuli Riswati berbincang dengan Ralf Ruckus dan Alina Kornfeldt tentang keterlibatan yang kelihatan dan tak kasat dari para pekerja migran domestik dalam perjuangan Hong Kong. Walau kerja-kerja mereka telah menopang gerakan—belum lagi fungsi mereka dalam hidup sehari-hari—kepentingan mereka terabaikan dalam tuntutan demokrasi Hong Kong: https://lausancollective.com/2020/disebut-orang-hong-kong-atau-bukan-kami-tetap-bagian-dari-hong-kong/.
[deutsch | english | italiano | português] – Questo articolo sulle politiche demografiche della Cina e sul rifiuto delle donne di servire da macchine procreatrici per il programma di sviluppo del PCC è apparso per la prima volta sul settimanale svizzero WOZ in tedesco il 23 gennaio 2020. Nel frattempo, la “Corona crisi" ha colpito (non solo) la Cina, e non è chiaro se l’abolizione ufficiale delle limitazioni alle nascite avverrà quest'anno. La lotta delle donne contro le politiche demografiche dello Stato e per un maggiore controllo sulla loro vita è ancora in corso e potrebbe addirittura intensificarsi di fronte a un'ulteriore interferenza dello Stato nella vita personale delle persone.
[deutsch | english | italiano | português] – Este artigo sobre as políticas populacionais da China e a recusa das mulheres em serem máquinas de parir para o programa de desenvolvimento do PCCh [Partido Comunista da China] apareceu pela primeira vez no hebdomadário suíço WOZ na Alemanha em 23 de janeiro de 2020. Nesse meio tempo, a “crise do coronavírus” atingiu (não apenas) a China, e não é suficientemente claro se a política oficial de limite aos nascimentos vai ser derrubada este ano. A luta das mulheres contra as políticas populacionais do Estado e por mais controle sobre suas vidas continua e pode inclusive se intensificar frente ao aumento da interferência estatal na vida das pessoas: https://passapalavra.info/2020/04/131292/
[bahasa | english] – On March 1, 2020, the migrant domestic worker and citizen journalist Yuli Riswati talked to Ralf Ruckus and Alina Kornfeldt about the (Indonesian) migrant domestic workers’ visible and invisible involvement in the Hong Kong opposition movement. Economic and social life in Hong Kong would not function without migrant domestic workers. Their labor also sustained the persistence of Hong Kong’s opposition movement, but their concerns hardly play any role in its demands for more democracy.
[deutsch | english | italiano | português] – This article on China’s population policies and women’s refusal to serve as birth machines for the CCP’s development program first appeared in the Swiss weekly WOZ in German on January 23, 2020. Meanwhile, the ‘coronacrisis’ has hit (not just) China, and it is unclear whether the scraping of official birth limits will happen this year. The women’s struggle against the state’s populations policies and for more control over their lives is still on and might even intensify in the face of even more state interference into people’s personal lives.
