UNITED NATIONS GATE, July 8 – How desperate is Antonio Guterres to get a second term as UN Secretary General? To placate China, and continue his related failure on Myanmar, he has ordered his Special Adviser on Children and Armed conflict to move to the "good child killer" List B the Tatmadaw Kyi, including integrated border guard forces.

Guterres doesn't care that even Guatemalan diplomat Gert Rosenthal called him out for systemic failure on Myanmar, just as The Onion mocked his failure on the Uighurs in China. Guterres wants a second term and has covered up his links with CEFC China Energy, including by roughing up and banning Inner City Press, to try to get it.
But Guterres is also pushing to move the Syrian Army, and that of South Sudan, to the good child killers list, as also exclusively exposed by Inner City Press. Photo here. Might the former, or even latter, of these undermine his corrupt bid to continue in control? Watch this site.
On July 1, after Guterres lavished praise onChina's Xi at the G20, in Hong Kong protesters faced off with riot police, the anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to repressive Chinese rule. Guterres, typically, said nothing. His campaign slogans about preventive diplomacy have proven empty, even as he tries to ride the Belt and Road to a second term that would end whatever's left of the UN's credibility.
On June 6, banned Inner City Press asked Guterres and his spokes- / hachetman Stephane Dujarric: "June 6-3: On China, human rights and the SG, what is the SG's response to reports that China has announced former Hong Kong police chief Andy Tsang Wai-hung’s nomination for the top post at the United Nations organisation fighting drug crimes - Mr Tsang's nomination could also be controversial for his management of the Occupy protests, during which tear gas was used on pro-democracy demonstrators. That shone a spotlight on government efforts to clamp down on activists in the former British colony, with the gatherings of mostly students dubbed the "Umbrella Movement" after they used umbrellas to shield themselves from the pepper spray. Concerns over the autonomy of Hong Kong's judicial system have increased, as the Beijing-backed government seeks an extradition bill that critics say could be used to target dissidents living in the city. That legislation may have helped drive a record turnout of more than 180,000 on Tuesday night for Hong Kong's annual vigil to remember the Chinese military's crackdown in Tiananmen Square. Police put the number of attendees at 37,000. The nomination is China’s first attempt to fill a top position at a major international organisation since it detained Meng Hongwei, then the head of the global policing body Interpol, last year. It was understood UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres would select a successor in a few months to replace the current executive director, Yury Fedotov of Russia, who had been in office since 2010"?"
More than two weeks later, no answer at all despite Dujarric's promise that there would be answers. Guterres is entirely corrupt. And this: "The former commissioner of police, Andy Tsang, said on Saturday the level of force used by police during the June 12 protests was necessary and restrained. Tsang said from what he saw on live TV broadcasts, there was a level of violence caused by protesters that was more serious than what had been seen during the 2014 civil disobedience movement, when he was leading the police force. He said it would not have been possible for the police to stop the violent action if they had only used tear gas, but not rubber bullets and bean bag rounds. He added the police had showed restraint by only using force "passively", and more people would have been hurt had police not acted at the time. Nearly 80 people were injured in the clashes on June 12."
This are Guterres' friends and candidates. Guterres is corrupt.
June 6-3: On China, human rights and the SG, what is the SG's response to reports that China has announced former Hong Kong police chief Andy Tsang Wai-hung’s nomination for the top post at the United Nations organisation fighting drug crimes - Mr Tsang's nomination could also be controversial for his management of the Occupy protests, during which tear gas was used on pro-democracy demonstrators.

No answers. #DumpGuterres.
