Watch: US-funded Uyghur “Right Org” Hires Advocate FOR Genocide in Xinjiang
The US accuses China of “genocide” in its western Xinjiang region. However, China had been reacting to US-sponsored separatism including a years-long campaign of deadly terrorism and militancy.

China pushes back against the US in the Pacific

It has become increasingly obvious that the West has had no diplomatic strategy to deal with the Ukraine crisis beyond cranking-up Psyops into a hysteria.

India, China in Europe’s crisis
The bottom line is: This is Russia’s showdown with the US and it is existential for Russia, and is the culmination of a history of American betrayal of promises made to Russia since 1990, much as Washington would twist it out of context and dub it today as a matter of ‘imminent’ Russian invasion of… Continue reading

The Maoist ‘Exceptionalism’ at the Heart of China’s COVID Strategy
Arguably the best known contemporary proponent of Chinese exceptionalism in the English-language is Martin Jacques, best known for his 2009 bestseller When China Rules the World, a tour-de-force in the repackaging of orientalist tropes for the 21st-century.
