Wednesday 24 July, 2019 THE WEEKLY TIMES 9 Speakers at the protest rally on Eastwood Plaza included former Parramatta Councillor John Hugh and Dr Lin Bin political scientist and Principal of Academy of Chinese Culture. TWT on-the-spot PHOTOS. Hong Kong Protest Rally in Eastwood Korean Gingseng a wonder herb! Korean Ginseng is a plant whose root has been taken as an herbal remedy for over 2,000 years around the world. Since long before it became known to the Western general public, aristocrats and scientists had already discovered, wrote about, and shown their admiration for Korean Ginseng, regarding it as a powerful natural medicine and calling it the “treasure from the Orient.” As the root of ginseng is delicate, it requires the proper growing environment to produce healthy components, specifically ginseng saponins. Korea is a country naturally blessed with the geographical latitude, four distinct seasons, and ideal soil conditions that constitute the perfect growing environment for ginseng. This allows Korean Ginseng to produce more than twice the variety of healthy components of other species. Although there are other species of ginseng – such as American, Japanese and Siberian ginseng, as well as cousins of Korean ginseng including Chinese and Asian Panax ginseng – these varieties naturally produce either less than half the variety of healthy saponins found in Korean ginseng (by species,) or only half the total quantity of healthy saponins (by growing period.) Korea has the ideal climate for ginseng cultivation and Korean ginseng grows under strict quality control. For these reasons, it is praised as the finest ginseng in the world, in terms of efficacy, quantity, and variety of active components Local Chinese citizens held a rally in Eastwood Plaza last Sunday morning to support Hong Kong citizens against Chinese extradition laws to the mainland. Speaker at the rally former Parramatta Councillor John Hugh who is also media spokesperson of Australian Values Alliance (AVA) said: “I come here today with gratitude. Firstly, I wish to thank Ryde Council, in particular Councillors Kim and Gordon, and all those councillors who have supported this motion. They have spoken on our behalf. I would also thank all those Hong Kong residents who have participated in protests against the extradition bill with China. They are so brave standby their rights and values. Democracy is not a gift from any government. We must fight for it. Countless protests in Hong Kong set a good example for people living in Mainland China. As Chinese, we don’t deserve to live like a pig or dog for the sake of three meals a day. We shall have our own mind, live like a real human. Two and half years ago, I spoke to the media against the proposed extradition bill between Australia and China. Although the content of the bill looks very reasonable, but it is KOREAN RED GINSENG brand “cheong kwan jang” HEAD OFFICE Shop A12/4 Central Ave, Thornleigh NSW 2120 Tel. 02 9980 2888 / 0488 779 829 not a secret that Mainland China is not ruled by law. Power overrides law and the Chinese Communist Party is above Chinese Government. Anyone could be persecuted with made-up criminal offence due to their words and minds if not pleasing the Communist Party. They are trying to extend such persecution outside China via extradition treaty. Recently an Australian Citizen Dr Yang Heng-Jun has been detained in China. The Chinese Government’s spokesperson requested Australian Government not to interfere with the matter. Does he have right to request Australian Government not to care for the wellbeing of its own citizen overseas? Councillors Kim and Gordon, and City of Ryde have spoken on our behalf. We support those who support us! Thank you Ryde. Thank you Hong Kong. And thanks for everyone here to show your support. Let’s wish citizens in Mainland China can also enjoy democracy in near future. Talk about the extradition until then.” MARKET CITY SHOPPING CENTRE Haymarket Level 1.
