US elites mulling how to ’take China down’

1 December 2011
China-bashing is nothing new in the ongoing race for the Republican presidential candidacy. Former Utah governor and US ambassador to China Jon Huntsman has decided to blaze a trail to attract public attention, unintentionally giving away a secret among US politicians.
China has 500 million Web users and 80 million bloggers, who "are bringing about change, the likes of which is going to take China down," said the candidate in a CBS debate with candidate Mitt Romney. "We should be reaching (...)

Eurozone woes drive China back into US bonds

18 November 2011
The lack of clarity about a resolution of the eurozone debt crisis, coupled with deepening doubts over a global economic recovery, sparked China’s move to invest in safer assets such as US government securities, analysts said.
The net increase in US Treasury holdings was $11.3 billion in September, the largest jump since March 2010.
The rise boosted China’s total US debt holdings to $1.15 trillion, according to the US Department of the Treasury.

China emerges as world cultural power

2 November 2011
The 370 members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held their annual meeting on 15-18 October 2011. Very little leaked out, apart from the preeminence accorded to the cultural campaign called for by Li Changchun.
"Safety culture"
From now on, China aims to shield itself from Americanization by building on its millennial history, its own cultural diversity and new technologies (over 500 million Internet users and 200 million bloggers). "The revival of the Chinese (...)

Pakistan gets Chinese military aid in the face of US threats

by Webster G. Tarpley

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 30 May 2011
By multiplying its military attacks on Pakistani territory and accusing Islamabad of having harbored Osama Bin Laden, the Obama Administration aims to encroach into China’s sphere of influence. However, Beijing promptly supplied Islamabad with an air arsenal and delivered an ultimatum to Washington: any attack on Pakistan would be considered as an unfriendly act against China.

The Chinese authorities allowed photographs of the J-20 stealth fighter jet to be published on various local internet sites just a few days ahead of U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ official visit to Beijing.
While some experts contest the authenticity of the photos, the majority consider that the J-20 has entered its final testing stage and will soon become operational.

Washington’s Geopolitical Nightmare: China and Russia boost economic cooperation

by F. William Engdahl

Frankfurt (Germany) | 11 December 2010
Whatever internal factional battles might be going on inside Kremlin walls between Medvedev and Putin, there are clear signs of late that both Beijing and Moscow are moving decisively after long hesitation to strengthen strategic economic cooperation in the face of the obvious disintegration of America as the sole Superpower. If the recent trend is deepened it will create Washington’s worst geopolitical nightmare: a unified Eurasia landmass capable of challenging America’s global economic hegemony.

Mackinder’s Geo-Strategic Nightmare

The "Great Game" and the Conquest of Eurasia: Towards a World War III Scenario?

by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya

Ottawa (Canada) | 10 December 2010
Countries and combatant groups which are zigzagging across the international chess board will sooner or later have to position themselves with regard to the big confrontation looming ahead: that which will oppose the United States and China. Two main alliance blocs have already emerged and regardless of the historical bumps along the road (coups, so-called colour revolutions, etc.), the position of all players will inexorably be determined by their strategic interests. The author offers his appraisal of how the two camps will come together during the forthcoming international conflict.

’Dollar’s dominance will soon be over’

28 November 2010
Business analyses indicate that the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency and the standard currency could be soon coming to an end.
This comes days after China and Russia decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade.
"About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies," China Daily quoted Russian Premier Vladimir Putin as saying in a joint news conference with his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao in St. Petersburg (...)

The Geopolitical Agenda behind the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize

by F. William Engdahl

Frankfurt (Germany) | 23 October 2010
With almost flawless political timing, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee of the Norwegian Parliament announced the giving of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese critic, political activist Liu Xiaobo. The announcement came just as US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geither was upping the pressure on the government of China to agree to a substantial revaluation of the Yuan, a move that would do little for the embattled dollar but cause great harm to China’s economy. The Nobel Prize theater is part of an escalating long-term pressure strategy of Washington against China.

What the Nobel Prize jury didn’t tell us

Who is Liu Xiabobo?

by Domenico Losurdo

Urbino (Italy) | 20 October 2010
Quite some time has elapsed since the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Liu Xiabobo, but the western media have yet to inform us about the ideals that he’s supposed to stand for. The reason is that Nobel Prize was given to someone who longs for colonization and for whom the only salvation is the obliteration of his own culture through western military intervention.

A Surprise Boost for Euro from China

by F. William Engdahl

Frankfurt (Germany) | 6 October 2010
The embattled Euro has gotten a surprise boost from an unexpected quarter―China. The country with the world’s largest foreign exchange currency reserves, China, has pledged to support Greek debt as well as the Euro in what is clearly a geopolitical decision. In doing so, China has signaled it seeks to prevent the US financial warfare attack on Europe and to play the EU off against the USA in a geopolitical chess game of a fascinating dimension.
