China Condemns US for "Unscrupulous" Global Cyber-Surveillance

NOVANEWS Report out of Beijing catalogs how NSA has targeted government leaders, businesses, and private citizens all over the world - Jon Queally Demonstrators hold signs supporting Edward Snowden outside the Consulate of the United States in Hong Kong last year as they urged the U.S. government to pardon the former contractor. (Kin Cheung, Associated Press)A Chinese government agency has called out the National Security Agency and the U.S. government for maintaining what it calls an "unscrupulous" global surveillance regime that goes beyond anti-terror operations and traditional espionage by casting a net over entire populations in order to serve its own hegemonic interests.

The Russia-China Counter-Alliance to US-NATO Aggression

NOVANEWS By Alexander Clackson Global Research Russian President Vladimir Putin has said recently that his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this week in Shanghai marked a new stage in Russia-China relations, and that the two countries will roll out all-around cooperation. China and Russia signed a $400 billion (237.1 billion pounds) gas supply deal on Wednesday, securing the world’s top energy user a major source of cleaner fuel and opening up a new market for Moscow as it risks losing European customers over the Ukraine crisis. Furthermore, the two countries began joint military exercises in the East China Sea in a clear show of strength against Japan, a western ally. The Chinese President has also openly demonstrated his desire to create a counter-alliance to the U.S....

US accuses Chinese officials of cyber espionage

NOVANEWS Meanwhile, US is engaged in massive electronic surveillance By Mike Wang The United States announced this week that it would press charges against five Chinese military officials for cyber spying. Claiming these five officers had hacked into U.S.-owned nuclear, metal and solar companies’ databases, the U.S. foreign policy establishment made history by pressing the first charges of cyber espionage. This is the latest in the United States’ protracted smear campaign against the Chinese government. It comes out of the long-standing discussion on the so-called Asia Pivot, or the U.S. military’s effort to rebalance its strategic posture to focus on East Asia. The very idea of an Asia Pivot is a symptom of imperialism: why else does the United States station so many troops in Asia? ...

Baiting Dragons, Bears and Lions

BY PHILIP GIRALDI  A Dangerous Game for Washington In a recent round of finger pointing, the Obama Administration blamed China for being both “dangerous and provocative” in its crisis in relations with Vietnam. The specific incident that led to the rebuke was rioting in Vietnam in response to a Chinese oil drilling rig being placed in disputed waters in the South China Sea. Thirty expat Chinese citizens involved in businesses in Vietnam were injured and six killed and the total death toll was reported to be twenty-one. Admittedly, China has a lousy claim over the vast territory in the Sea, dotted by mostly uninhabited islands, that it insists belong to it for historic reasons, but the right to exploit the region economically is also disputed by a number of other bordering states, inc...

China, Russia, Iran to sort out security in Asia

NOVANEWS Iranian President Hassn Rouhani and Russian President Veladimir Putin shake hands in Moscow, February 18, 2013. Russian President Vladimir Putin spent most of a recent interview with Chinese state media praising the ‘exemplary collaboration’ between Russia and China in recent years. He listed a wide range of areas, from financial services to the aircraft industry, where his country wants to partner with its ‘trusted friend’. But Putin’s interview also highlighted a polarizing meeting that takes place in Shanghai this week. Putin promises that the talks will lead to “a new security and sustainable development architecture in Asia-Pacific”—a task that has become increasingly important as China moves into the South China Sea. Known as the “Summit of the Conference on Interaction a...

Russia and China veto Zionist French draft resolution calling for Syria ICC referral

NOVANEWS Sana News Syria’s permanent representative to the UN, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, stressed that the draft resolution submitted today to the UN Security Council is a politicized and discriminatory text that is aimed at distracting the presidential elections in Syria and fueling the crisis. Al-Jaafari pointed out that submitting the draft resolution represents the continuation of some countries’ attempts to impose themselves as caretakers over the Syrian people and their national choices. Al-Jaafari added that realizing justice necessitates holding the Zionist puppet's governments of Turkey, Zio-Wahhabi Saudi , Qatar, France and I$raHell accountable for their acts of provocation for violence and terrorism in Syria and arming, funding and training the mercenaries who come in thousands...

China bans Win 8; accuses US of hypocrisy as cyber row grows

NOVANEWS By Agence France-Presse Beijing summoned the US ambassador and accused Washington of double standards Tuesday as a diplomatic row escalated over the unprecedented indictment of five Chinese military officers for cyber-espionage. The world’s top two economies have long been at loggerheads over hacking and China’s defence ministry denounced Washington’s allegations as “a pure fabrication by the US, a move to mislead the public based on ulterior motives”. “From ‘WikiLeaks’ to the ‘Snowden’ case, US hypocrisy and double standards regarding the issue of cyber-security have long been abundantly clear,” the ministry said in a statement on its website. China summoned US ambassador Max Baucus to lodge a “solemn representation” over the indictment, and suspended cooperation with the...

The Birth of a Eurasian Century: Russia and China Do Pipelineistan

NOVANEWS by Pepe Escobar China is building its own pipeline networks to help deliver Russia's resources to its people and for export.HONG KONG -- A specter is haunting Washington, an unnerving vision of a Sino-Russian alliance wedded to an expansive symbiosis of trade and commerce across much of the Eurasian land mass -- at the expense of the United States. And no wonder Washington is anxious.  That alliance is already a done deal in a variety of ways: through the BRICS group of emerging powers (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa); at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Asian counterweight to NATO; inside the G20; and via the 120-member-nation Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Trade and commerce are just part of the future bargain.  Synergies in the development of new mili...
