    In the aftermath of the Modi government’s decision to remove ‘special status’ for J&K and bifurcate the state into two union territories, the most keenly awaited regional and international reaction — and a hugely consequential one — would be that of China’s, not the US’ or even of the other three P5 member states.   Continue reading

  • China is Most Definitely Not a Semi-Colony

    I have prepared this posting in a landscape form because it is more suited to bullet points. Many Marxist sects still hold to the view that China remains a form of workers’ state and if not a workers’ state then definitely a semi-colony.

  • BBC Says China Building Schools is “Bad” by Tony Cartalucci
