Judicial Power and Human Rights Protection

This is the minimum obligation of a state to protect its people. From the perspective of the operation of state power, a despotic state takes executive power as its core.

The Art of Persuasion

French President Emmanuel Macron has recently come under the spotlight. He chose to side with the U.S. and the UK on military action in Syria in April, a decision likely borne of his impulse to cling to America and keep alive his dream of reviving France as a great power. He also visited Washington, D.C. as Europe's envoy in the hope of persuading the U.S. not to forsake the Iran nuclear agreement and to extend Europe's exemption from Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs. Of most concern to Macron at present is the reestablishment of France and Germany's central role in Europe, to push ahead with reform of the euro zone and to revitalize the European Union (EU).

A Day in the Life of the Rev. Mei Kangjun

THE Reverend Mei Kangjun works in Shanghai. He recently went to Wuhan City in Central China to promote the Christian magazine Heavenly Wind, and to participate in a seminar on psychology consultancy. Judging from his position-executive deputy secretary general of the National Committee of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement of Protestant Churches of China, and from the articles he has written, I assumed he must be in his 70s. As it turned out, he is a scholarly man of 45. The morning we met, Mei Kangjun was to speak at a meeting to mark the third anniversary of a non-profit psychological consultancy center run by a Sister Luo in Wuhan University. Mei himself is a national grade-one psychology consultant. Before the meeting started, he talked with those of the guests that are university scholars and also members of Chinese psychological consultancy circles. Mei Kangjun's speech was entitled "caring for People with Love and Sympathy."A talk rather than a sermon, it began by comparing the similarities of pastoral care and counseling. He stressed that a psychology consultant must have love and sympathy, but must also be of high moral character. His humane, professional observations were warmly received. During lunchtime, Mr. Mei and psychologists from Wuhan University held in-depth discussions on academic issues relating to psychology consultancy.
