The USA’s decades long warfare against China

by Robert S. Rodvik

Vancouver (Canada) | 7 January 2013
In the first part of his study of the low-intensity warfare carried out by the United States against communist China since the Cold War, Robert S. Rodvik focuses on the U.S. collaboration with the nationalist government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. As a rabid anti-communist, Washington knew it could count on the Generalissimo to be more preoccupied with anti-Communist extermination campaigns than with resisting the Japanese invaders, and complicitly turned a blind eye to Chiang’s massacres and unbridled corruption.

No Wonder China is Nervous as Obama Pivots

by F. William Engdahl

22 November 2012
The looming confrontation will be even harsher than the previous ones. U.S. forces have been withdrawing from Europe and disengaging from the Middle East. They are currently clustering around China and developing a ballistic missile shield which - should it actually prove effective some day - would enable Washington to strike Beijing without fear of reprisal.

China will force peaceful solution to Syrian crisis on West: German pundit

by Kourosh Ziabari

21 November 2012
German-born international consultant Cristof Lehmann followed in detail the recent Chinese Communist Party Congress. In an interview with the Tehran Times, he highlights the convergence of positions on the Syrian crisis between Moscow and Beijing. He expects China to unequivocally support the deployment in early 2013 of a United Nations peacekeeping force mainly composed of CSTO troops.

"Before our very eyes"

The Chinese solution

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 7 November 2012
There is a solution for peace in Syria. All we need is the will to implement it. Yang Jiechi has imagined a way of avoiding France’s hostility to the implementation of the Geneva agreement.

Russia fights US missile shield from sea

by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya

Ottawa (Canada) | 7 November 2012
The Pentagon is working to encircle Eurasia and to surround the Eurasian Triple Entente composed of China, Russia, and Iran. For every reaction, however, there is a counter-reaction. This Canadian-based sociologist and scholar argues that neither one of these three Eurasian powers will sit idly as passive US targets. Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran are all taking their own distinct counter-measures to oppose the Pentagon’s strategy of military encirclement.

Shift in Russian-Chinese tectonic plates

Calling the China-Russia split by its right name

by Melkulangara K. Bhadrakumar

4 September 2012
As China and Vietnam lurch increasingly towards crisis, Beijing is not amused at the Kremlin’s refusal to reciprocate over the United States’ "pivot" in the Asia-Pacific, especially since returns from its diplomatic support for Moscow’s embattled ally in Damascus are expected. The symbolism of Russia hosting the Vietnamese president and the Japanese foreign minister in quick succession in July was not lost on China either. Detecting a chill descending on Sino-Russian relations, Ambassador Bhadrakumar throws light on the situation.

Egypt enters the China club

by Brendan P. O’Reilly

Beijing (China) | 31 August 2012
In a few moves, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has not only managed to tip the balance of power in Egypt and in the Middle East, but also farther afield. His budding partnership with China, as this author argues, could help Morsi shift his foreign policy axis away from the U.S. and the West, while providing China with the opportunity to make inroads into the oil-rich Middle East thereby countering the pressure and stranglehold she is facing from the United States on her own turf. A sticking point between Egypt and China may, however, turn out to be Syria.

US missile system expansion in Asia-Pacific angers China

25 August 2012
Tensions are once again running high between the United States and China as Washington plans to expand its missile system in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Pentagon intends to convince Tokyo to allow the installment of a second early-warning radar system, known as X-Band, in southern Japan, Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The new X-Band is planned to complement one that the US had deployed in northern Japan in 2006. The Philippines is also being considered as the potential site (...)

The Pentagon’s "new enemy" image

Obama’s Geopolitical China ‘Pivot’

by F. William Engdahl

Frankfurt (Germany) | 23 August 2012
With little fanfare Barack Obama late last year announced a "strategic pivot" in US defense policy to focus on the Pacific, bolstered by "Coalition of the willing" Australia. It is all about emerging China as an economic colossus with a mind all its own. The US military has been steadily positioning itself along the strategic sea lanes surrounding China to deal potentially deadly blows to the mainland as well as cutting off its oil corridors to the Middle East and Africa. This author breaks down a situation where the noose tightening around China could generate a major new conflict zone in the not too distant future.

Beijing’s winning strategy in Africa

by Brendan P. O’Reilly

14 August 2012
That China’s rise in Africa amounts to neo-colonialism and is resented by Africans is a notion existing primarily in the minds of Western analysts, as educator and author Brendan P. O’Reilly aptly points out. There are stark differences between Beijing’s and Washington’s foreign policies, and nowhere are these more obvious than in Africa: China’s interests are purely economic, while the U.S. remains obsessed with military dominance. In short, while the U.S. bombs and weaponizes, China is pursuing cooperation based on mutual benefits.

THE ART OF WAR

Olympic imperialism

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 10 August 2012
The Western press lashed out against China’s medal-winning athletes at the London Olympics. Without the slightest shred of evidence, it systematically raised suspicions of doping, pointing the finger in particular at the young swimmer Ye Shiwen. Manlio Dinucci reminds us that such anti-Chinese racism has a bitter taste of déjà vu.
