Collapsing Global Economy, Imploding Financial System

NOVANEWS Collapsing Global Economy, Imploding Financial System: China Has Only One Option By Bill Holter Global Research The title is of course a little misleading because China has many options, none of which except one in my opinion will actually work. Options to what exactly you ask? Options to a collapsing global economy and an imploding financial system which will surely affect China as much as anywhere else, but with one caveat. I take these events as a given, others do not but betting against an outright panic and global bankruptcy is betting against pure mathematics itself. Let’s back up a little bit and look at where China is currently. They are the second largest economy in the world (maybe the largest, we can’t really know because the numbers here, there, and everywhere are ...

China’s President On Russia’s Role in Crushing Fascism

NOVANEWS “To Remember History, To Open the Future” “To forget history is to commit treason” By Global Research News Introductory note by Anatoly Karlin This article originally appeared at The Unz Review  President Xi Jinping (pictured left, meeting the Patriarch Kirill) penned an op-ed in a Russian newspaper on May 6th in which, in stark contrast to the typical Western bile and hostility, he acknowledges the role of the Soviet Union in defeating Nazism and warns off against attempts to revise that outcome, be it on paper or in real life. I am translating it in full for two reasons. First, it constitutes a first-hand glance at official relations between China and Russia, which – much to the consternation of neocons, Russophobes, Sinophobes, and Western imperialists – are instead of fi...

Council on Foreign Relations’ Grand Strategy

NOVANEWS China Must Be Defeated, The TPP Is Essential to Undermining China By Eric Zuesse Global Research Wall Street’s Council on Foreign Relations has issued a major report, alleging that China must be defeated because it threatens to become a bigger power in the world than the U.S. This report, which is titled “Revising U.S. Grand Strategy Toward China,” is introduced by Richard Haass, the CFR’s President, who affirms the report’s view that, “no relationship will matter more when it comes to defining the twenty-first century than the one between the United States and China.” He says that the report he is publishing argues that “strategic rivalry is highly likely if not inevitable between the existing major power of the day and the principal rising power.” Haass says that the au...

Major Challenge to Pak-China Alliance

NOVANEWS By Sajjad Shaukat During the historical visit of the Chinese President Xi Jinping to Pakistan, on April 20, this year, he and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif signed 51 agreements for cooperation in various fields, related to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), energy, infrastructure, agriculture, research, technology, education etc. The establishment of CPEC between deep Gwadar seaport of Balochistan and the historic Silk Road city in western regions-Xinjiang of China will connect Gilgit-Baltistan through Khunjerab Pass.

Greeced Lightning! Will Greece Default? Will Athens Cut a Financial Deal with Moscow and Beijing?

NOVANEWS By Bill Holter Global Research We seem to have finally arrived at some sort of moment of truth regarding Greece and their inclusion in the EU.  The speculation is they will be out of money by April 9th, this Thursday, unable to make a less than 500 million euro payment.  Please keep in mind they have already been raiding the country’s pension plans to fund day to day services.  How large of a “dent” they have already made remains to be seen but that is not the point.  The point is this, any person, corporation or government who needs to dig into retirement savings for daily operations is like buying a carton of cigarettes with a credit card at 14.99% …and then carrying the balance! Before laying out their potential options, please keep in mind that Mr. Varoufakis  was in N...

New Chinese Bank Becomes Major Headache For U.S.

NOVANEWS by Mark Baker Another day, it seems, brings another new member to China's latest big international initiative: a new development bank for Asia. Russia became the latest country to announce it would join the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), to be based in Beijing. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov made the announcement on March 28 at an international forum in China, saying President Vladimir Putin himself had made the decision for Russia to participate, according to RIA Novosti. Russia is the latest in a string of countries, including many of the United States' closest allies in Europe and Asia, to announce plans to join the bank ahead of a March 31 deadline to become a charter member. In recent days, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and South...

Zio-Wahhabi (ISIS) terrorists are already in China

NOVANEWS Uighur Muslims from the Xinjiang region have staged a series of terrorist attacks against Chinese citizens in the past several years. Now, apparently, they are leaving China to join Zio-Wahhabi ISIS, then returning to wage more terrorism and establish an Zio-Wahhabi State in China.

Obama – Xi Jinping Talks Underscore US War Threats against China

NOVANEWS By Patrick Kelly Global Research In Beijing yesterday after talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Barack Obama boasted that US-China military, climate change and trade agreements took the two countries’ “bilateral, regional and global cooperation to a new level.” In reality, the two days of discussions between Obama and Xi pointed to the growing war dangers underlying the geo-strategic tensions generated by the aggressive US “pivot” to Asia. Since taking office, Obama has spearheaded a coordinated effort to maintain US imperialism’s domination of the entire Asia-Pacific region by diplomatically and militarily encircling China. The “pivot,” formally announced in November 2011, has also seen Washington fuel previously low-level territorial disputes between C...

China’s Global Political Shift

NOVANEWS By F. William Engdahl Global Research I have been to China over the years more than a dozen times. I have spoken with people at all levels of policy-making, and one thing I have come to realize is that when Beijing makes a major policy change, they make it carefully and with great deliberation. And when they arrive at a new consensus, they execute it with remarkable effect on all levels. That is the secret to their thirty-year economic miracle. Now China’s top leadership has made such a policy decision. It will transform our world over the next decade. On November 29, 2014, a little-noted but highly significant meeting took place in Beijing as Washington was absorbed with its various attempts to cripple and ultimately destabilize Putin’s Russia. They held what was termed ...

China Just Made 4 HUGE Moves Against Muslims, Not Taking Any Chances

NOVANEWS BY AMANDA SHEA  In Xinjiang, China, where approximately half of the population is Muslim, communist leaders have decided to put four bans into effect for followers of the religion to protect citizens in the region in light of a rash of recent attacks, most notably in Paris, France, where there is also a sizable Muslim population. According to Chinese news agency Xinhua, the region has banned the burqa in all public places, following France’s lead, who prohibited the female Islamic garb in April 2011. Belgium followed a short time later. It is unclear when the rule will take effect, but it has been approved by the Regional Legislator in Xinjiang. Muslims in the area, referred to as “Uighurs,” insist that China is attempting to repress their religious and cultural freedom, b...
