US imperialism steps up war plans against China

NOVANEWS LALKARONLINE Having previously announced a strategic “pivot to Asia”, US imperialism has, over recent months, been engaged in a whole series of military and diplomatic activities, whose common aim is to threaten, encircle and weaken the People’s Republic of China, ultimately preparing for a devastating war against the world’s most populous nation and second largest economy, a course that US imperialism sees as its only way out from its inexorable and deepening crisis. New missile defence plans On 23 August, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that the US was planning a major escalation of its “missile defence” programme, ostensibly targeted at the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), but in reality leaving China more vulnerable to US nuclear threats.

NOVANEWS By Tony Cartalucci Global Research URL of article: http://www.globalresearch.ca/dangerous-crossroads-america-pressures-asean-bloc-to-contain-china/ Supranational ASEAN is Super Folly for Southeast Asia. US reveals ASEAN as neo-imperial consolidation as Clinton calls on bloc to present a “united front” against China. In the literary classic “Gulliver’s Travels,” the protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver, finds himself shipwrecked on an island of tiny people called, “Lilliputians.” While he slept, the Lilliputians used their tiny rope and stakes to tie Gulliver down. When he awoke, though many times larger than any one of the Lilliputians, he was immobilized and at their mercy.

China vs Japan – Who is Stoking the Fires, and Why?

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem Sr Geopolitical Disputes are Not Only Exploited by Countries and Multi-Nationals, but by So-Called Activists, also. by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor ….with Press TV’s News Analysis Senkaku Islands – Could a dispute here justify military moves? Last Sunday I did a Press TV show on the Japan-China dust up on the Senkaku Islands SW of Okinawa. Both countries have decided for the usual self serving reasons to crank up nationalist fervor over these two outcroppings. Left with hardly a mention is Taiwan who also has a dog in the fight. Of course the battle is over the usual thing, natural resources, gas and oil around the islands and fishing rights. China is a late comer on its claim, 1971,only putting one in after petrochemical deposits were fou...

The Land Bridge, A New Eurasia

NOVANEWS China’s Land Bridge to Turkey creates new Eurasian Geopolitical Potentials …by F. William Engdahl The prospect of an unparalleled Eurasian economic boom lasting into the next Century and beyond is at hand. The first steps binding the vast economic space are being constructed with a number of little-publicized rail links connecting China, Russia, Kazakhstan and parts of Western Europe. It is becoming clear to more people in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Eurasia including China and Russia that their natural tendency to build these markets faces only one major obstacle. And that is NATO and the US Pentagon’s Full Spectrum Dominance obsession. Rail infrastructure is a major key to building vast new economic markets across Eurasia. China and Turkey are...

China: Rise, Fall and Re-Emergence as a Global Power

NOVANEWS The tables have turned, and the formal ascent of China as a global power, having spent much of modern history in turmoil and strife. China’s re-emergence as a world economic power raises important questions about what we can learn from its previous rise and fall and about the external and internal threats confronting this emerging economic superpower for the immediate future. by James Petras Introduction The study of world power has been blighted by Eurocentric historians who have distorted and ignored the dominant role China played in the world economy between 1100 and 1800. John Hobson1] brilliant historical survey of the world economy during this period provides an abundance of empirical data making the case for China’s economic and technological superiority ...

Selling chopsticks to China and other Durable Goods stories

NOVANEWS Luckily for US citizens, not ever Georgia Chopsticks LLC ything is getting outsourced. There are some US companies, such as , who have seen opportunities in durable goods manufacturing and now provide reputable exportable US made product to offshore countries. These entrepreneurs should be commended and encouraged by local populations and governments in the absence of any recognizable federal support; their ratio of job creation is very high compared to the actual jobs created in their factories, or those created by government bail outs. 2-MILLION CHOPSTICKS by Jack J C I once worked in a fairly remote community that had two major employers, a durable goods manufacturer and the regional general hospital. The local spin off job creations of both major employers w...

One Lie After Another – And Now 911

NOVANEWS By Stewart Ogilby I recall my father calling my brother and me into the house from the backyard where we were at play that brisk December afternoon, December 7th, 1941. He had us listen to a news report coming from our Philco radio and told us that we would remember that day for the rest of our lives. It was then that I had my introduction to foreign affairs. Somewhere in the world, a long distance from Staten Island, New York, a place called Pearl Harbor had been attacked by airplanes. As he explained, since that was a part of our country we were in a war. We had a small mounted globe of the world in the dining room close to the radio. Showing us where Japan is located, he told us that Japan was our enemy. He went on to say that there was another country, considerably more dang...

The Incarnations of China

NOVANEWS Chinese society --Social harmony -- Crowds & villages The philosophical undercurrents of Chinese society has always been reverence to the past, societal duty based on position, and a desire for social harmony. by Jack JC I have been asked on many occasions to write an article on China similar to one I wrote on the USA‘Manifest Destiny to PNAC’‘ in the hope that it will foster better understanding of China’s cultural heritage. This is not an easy task. China is virtually the only country where you can dig up an 800,000 year old bone, and their descendants still live there. This was illustrated to me while I was preparing for a business presentation, needed a different angle for my audience, and asked my wife how many years her family had farmed the ancestral land – the ans...

China backs Russia on Iran’s nuclear program

NOVANEWS by crescentandcross in Uncategorized Haaretz China’s Foreign Ministry joined Russia Thursday in warning Western countries that additional pressure on Iran would not solve the nuclear stand-off. Beijing reacted to a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which said this week that there are many concrete indications that Iran worked towards developing a nuclear weapon. Several Western powers including France have raised the possibility of new sanctions, should Iran not start answering the IAEA’s questions on this topic. “We, as always, believe that dialogue and cooperation are the only effective approaches for properly resolving the Iran nuclear issue,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said. “Imposing pressure and sanctions cannot fundamentally r...

China Decries President Obama’s and Dalai Lama’s Meeting

NOVANEWS by Debrah McFarlane China has decried the upcoming meeting between President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama. The issue at hand that has caused the childish requests and threats of damaging relations from China occurred as a result of China’s unwillingness to consider Tibet a separate and sovereign nation. How is this issue or any other the United States’ problem? Irrespective of what the past and current issues are between the Tibetan nation and China, why should the United States and its President refuse to meet with the Dalai Lama? As a country, we cannot defer to every nation that threatens and tries to bully their way into our mist through threats of refusing to do business or damaging future relationships. The people of the United States elect the President of...
