Anti-China Brainwashing Is the Fast-Track to War

MIKE WHITNEY  The United States has to have an enemy. For the last seven years, the enemy has been Russia. Now the focus has shifted to China. Take a look at these headlines on Google News and you’ll see what I mean: Has America been too slow to wake up to the China threat? Washington Examiner Why is China a threat to the United States? Quora Is the US ready to address China’s threats in time to make a difference? The Hill China and Russia are waging another Cold War — is the West up to the challenge? The Hill China secretly sends enough gear to Russia to equip an army, Politico Xi Jinping is Preparing China for War, Newsweek Get the picture? China is a bigtime threat to the United States. Forget that the US regularly sends ...

China Does Serious Drills in Response to US-Backed Revolutionary Faggots in Taiwan Pushing “New Ukraine” Agenda

They just keep doubling down, while knowing, as a matter of fact, that there is zero chance that Beijing will agree to this. Frankly, I have looked into Vivek Ramaswamy’s policy statements on the issue, and he’s saying pretty much exactly what I would say: ther...

Ukrainization of Taiwan by US and the Obstacles to Peaceful Reunification

WEI LING CHUA  TABLE OF CONTENTS To clearly explain a series of essential facts (including not widely noticed facts) about the relations between Taiwan Province, China, and the USA, one need to know the following basic facts: Ignorance of Taiwan Youth about their own Constitution Recently, a number of street interviews were conducted in Taiwan province asking young Taiwanese “Do you know the relationship between the Republic of China and Taiwan?”, the reply shocked the interviewer as the majority of the youth in Taiwan didn’t even know their political entity’s official name is the Republic of China (ROC), and that the ROC’s constitution regards the mainland of China and Taiwan being parts of the ROC sovereign territory. For example: A street interview in June...

Is War with China Inevitable?

MIKE WHITNEY  What changed in the US-China relationship that is pushing the two countries closer to war? No one seems to know. Readers who follow developments in China closely, know that relations between the two superpowers have grown increasingly strained in the last few years. But while the US has taken a more hostile approach to China, no one seems to know why. Was there something in particular that China did that angered Washington leading to the imposition of economic sanctions, technology blockades and military provocations in the Taiwan Strait? No, there’s no indication that China did anything. What changed was Washington’s approach to China. And—as you’ll see—Washington’s approach changed very quickly and very dramatically. China went from friend to fo...

Was Washington’s Bio-Weapon Attack on China a Success?

MIKE WHITNEY  How badly was China’s economy hurt by Covid-19? The data suggest that the damage was quite severe. For example, in 2019, China’s GDP growth was 5.95 percent. But in 2020, GDP growth fell to 2.24 percent, a nearly 4 percent death-spiral entirely attributable to Covid-19. In 2021, China’s GDP growth rebounded to 8.45 percent, but then sharply declined in 2022 to a dismal 2.9 percent. Once again, the proximate cause of China’s shrinking GDP growth was Covid. It’s worth noting, that China’s GDP growth has averaged over 9 percent since 1990. That’s 3 decades of meteoric growth that was suddenly derailed due to a relatively-mild viral infection. How does that happen? It happened because the media, the pharmaceutical companies, the western governments and ...

Belt and Road envy dominates G20 summit

US imperialism’s latest attempt to counter Russia and China underlines the shifting balance of world forces. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel The USA has announced yet another grand plan to counter the rapid growth of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, but past experience indicates that very little is likely to materialise beyond press releases about ‘digital green futures’ and expensive feasibility reports. Meanwhile, the Belt and Road continues to deliver real infrastructure and real development to countries where its construction is ongoing. With Russia not invited to the party and Xi Jinping declining the invitation, the once-mighty G20 circus that pitched up in Delhi from 9 to 13 September, whilst still pulling in the massed ranks...

How China is developing mass involvement in local governance

The CPC is working at the local level to build social cohesion and stability, deepening its connections with the people. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Our party delegates visited a new housing estate in Guizhou province to see in practice some of the ways in which Chinese people are encouraged to take part in running and improving their own communities. Inset photos show the lily pond at the heart of the estate and a tai chi class run by and for local residents. Since the election of Xi Jinping as leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2012, considerable efforts have been made to overcome the inequalities caused by the policy of reform and opening up (the reintroduction of the market to China’s economy) that was ...

The South China Sea’s Resource Wars: It’s Not Only About Fossil Fuels

BY JOSHUA FRANK Photo: US Navy / Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jason Tarleton It’s an ocean of conflict and ecological decline. Despite its vast size — 1.3 million square miles — the South China Sea has become a microcosm of the geopolitical tensions between East and West, where territorial struggles over abundant natural resources may one day lead to war and environmental collapse. While the threat of a devastating military conflict between China and the United States in the region still looms, the South China Sea has already experienced irreparable damage. Decades of over-harvesting have, for instance, had a disastrous impact on that sea’s once-flourishing fish. The tuna, mackerel, and shark populations have fallen to 50% of their 1960s levels. Biol...

DOCUMENTS SHOW TAIWAN WORKING WITH FBI TO PROSECUTE CHINESE AMERICANS, INTIMIDATE US POLITICIANS

False Witnesses and Sinister Plots: Exposing the CIA Connection in the 'Chinese Police Station' Narrative Kit Klarenberg reveals how much of the hysteria surrounding 'Chinese police stations' in the West is being fueled by a shadowy CIA-linked organization called Safeguard Defenders. MintPress News ·Kit Klarenberg Official documents reviewed by MintPress show that the government of Taiwan is attempting to drum up anti-China hostility, intimidate American politicians and is even working with the FBI to spy on Chinese Americans. Amid a controversial visit from Vice President William Lai (the front-runner to be his country’s next leader), official documents reviewed by “MintPress News” show that the Taiwanese government is attempting to drum up anti-China hostility, influe...

A visit with Isabel Crook, lifelong soldier of the revolution

Memories of a life lived in the service of the people. Proletarian writers In February, while our party was participating in a delegation to China for the 27th Wanshou Forum (a regular international gathering discussing the building of humanity’s shared future), it was a pleasure to be able to take time out and meet with our party’s honorary president, Comrade Isabel Crook, and two of her sons, Michael and Carl, while we were in Beijing. At the age of 103, Isabel can certainly be said to have lived a life in service to the struggle for socialism. Born into a Canadian missionary family living and working in China, she met her husband David, a British communist working in China, in the years before the outbreak of the second world war, when China’s c...
