Position of the Jingdaoese Empire on the opinions of the MTO

Year of adoption by MTO	MTO opinion	Jingdaoese position
1687	The General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organization condemns the practice of chattel slavery.	The Jingdaoese Empire, as represented by the Imperial Stewardship notes that all people on the territory of the Jingdaoese Empire are the property of the Heavenly Light, there is no moral reason why he cannot sell them to others. The present Heavenly Light has chosen not to do this and we can all be grateful for that. The Jingdaoese practice of having bound servants in the estate of the nobility is not similar to chattel slavery, as these servants are bound to the masters as the master is bound to the servants. He cannot sell them or dispose of them, but has a duty to the emperor to take care of those who are placed in his custody.
1687 (expected)	The General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organization condemns the practice of genocide, the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation without due cause. Where a nation has embarked upon active measures against a population group within its borders it shall report this to the General Assembly so as to permit a debate as to whether the action is warranted or should be condemned as an unwarranted genocide.	The Jingdaoese Empire, as represented by the Imperial Stewardship notes that all people on the territory of the Jingdaoese Empire are the property of the Heavenly Light. There is no moral reason why he cannot take their lives in whatever arbitrary fashion he sees fit. The present Heavenly Light has chosen not to do this and we can all be grateful for that. The Jingdaoese have in their history never murdered groups without due cause, the Calbain for example were a rebellious people that had the opportunity to live a life of purity, but they rejected it. The idea that Jingdao would have had to ask permission from the General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organisation before taking punitive actions on its own soil is ridiculous. It is well known that a majority of the General Assembly rejects the Tianchaodao and we would rather genocide them, than be judged by them.
