CPC transforms China as a world class power
This is the season to reread Edgar Snow’s Red Star Over China, the classic work on the birth of the communist movement in China.

Chinese Communist Party: a party of workers or capitalists?
It’s 100 years today since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was first formed by just 50 members, mostly intellectuals, but including railway and mine workers. 100 years later to the day, the official membership figure is 95m and there are 4.8m party branches.

Empire of Clowns vs. Yellow Peril
It requires major suspension of disbelief to consider the G7, the self-described democracy’s most exclusive club, as relevant to the Raging Twenties. Real life dictates that even accounting for the inbuilt structural inequality of the current world system the G7’s economic output barely registers as 30% of the global total. Continue reading

NATO declares China as global security challenge
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) summit in Brussels on Monday reminds us once again of what a hoax the United States had perpetrated on the former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990 by assuring him that the western alliance would expand “not one inch eastward” once Moscow allowed German Unification and disbanded the Warsaw… Continue reading

China Responds to NATO
After months of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg mercilessly – tediously – denouncing Russia and China ahead of yesterday’s summit, the communiqué issued after it finally raised China’s ire. Two of the document’s 79 points addressed China. The second was conciliatory; the first was confrontational. It was the first time the 30-nation military bloc so… Continue reading

US accent is on bilateral track to China
The European countries have their own plans, while welcoming the US leadership and resuscitating trans-atlanticism but not jeopardising their cooperation with China.

“Viruses of Mass Destruction”
The war of words between China and the USA took a turn for the worst, when the neo-con loaded Biden Administration tasked the CIA with the verification of the origins of the Covid virus by insinuating it could have escaped from a Chinese laboratory where it had been modified.

Biden wants to remain engaged with Russia, China
Anyone who tried to divine the Russia policy of the Biden presidency out of the corpus of statements by current and prospective officials in the new administration would know by now that the range of instincts and perspectives contained in those statements did not really reflect or anticipate what was to happen — the upcoming… Continue reading

Aiming At China U.S., UK Launch Ethnic Guerilla War On Myanmar
The pipe, road and rail lines through Myanmar are not only in China’s best interest but also a great chance for Myanmar to further develop. They are in its national interest.
