Paul and Ken assess the extent of China’s decoupling from the US and why the US is deeply fearful of the outcome of Beijing’s policy initiatives in this regard. China will continue to to turn the screw.

In terms of Chinese and North Koreans being in the back and in planning and operating rooms in Russia to take part in the SMO (in a training capacity if you like), I have no qualms to accept. But, they are not fighting in the front ranks.

Critics say the company’s ignominious departure is aimed at avoiding legal responsibility for polluting the Niger Delta
I’ll never forget seeing the vast, charcoal wasteland left from a devastating oil spill in the village of Ebubu, in the heart of Ogoniland in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. The oil from a pipeline belonging to the Anglo Dutch oil group Shell had burst three decades before my visit, destroying the community’s streams and aquatic life. The contamination had not been cleaned up in 1999 and I could not fathom how locals could survive in an environment covered in tar. The waterways were still polluted and the village was eerily hollowed out.

In recent months, Somaliland has become a subject of intense, unprecedented interest for the Western media. As Israeli and US officials scramble to find a destination to forcibly relocate Gaza’s population from their shattered homeland, the little-acknowledged, unrecognised breakaway statelet is increasingly viewed as an attractive option. Multiple mainstream media reports indicate officials in Tel Aviv and Washington are making discrete overtures to Hargeisa on the topic. On March 14th, the Financial Times revealed:

▪️As warned, the US predicated tariffs on “reindustrialization” to sell to a gullible public, but was always aimed as preparations for isolating and eventually warring with China;
▪️None of the actual measures needed to reindustrialize were even proposed let alone implemented (education reform, nationalizing industry, infrastructure investments);
▪️Nations the US has politically captured obediently accepted the tariffs and are now going to be organized into a united front a la Biden vs. Russia but against China – all as Trump dishonestly “seeks peace” with Russia;
▪️Recall US Sec. of State Rubio began ramping up pressure on China’s island province of Taiwan, rewriting the State Dept’s website, erasing admissions the US does NOT recognize Taiwan “independence;”
▪️Americans voted for Trump to end Biden policies – but got a super-sized continuity of agenda instead;

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
In the last days of March, I was in China’s new city of Xiong’an, less than a two-hour drive from Beijing. The city is being built to relieve congestion in the capital, but it will also be home to women and men who are eager to develop China’s new quality productive forces and will be the centre of universities, hospitals, research institutes, and innovative technology companies, including high-tech farming. Xiong’an has the ambition of reaching ‘net-zero’ carbon dioxide emissions while using big data to harness social science to improve the quality of people’s everyday lives.
