What actually happened was something else entirely - China become the main engine of global economic growth, a global leader in renewables, telecoms, advanced infrastructure and space exploration, a country that has broken out of underdevelopment without recourse to war, occupation or neoliberal shock therapy, and which remains, worst of all from Washington's perspective, a socialist country led by a Communist Party.<

The current aggression against Iran, Venezuela and Cuba all feed into the same logic: weaken China's relationships, disrupt its energy supplies, and build military options for future confrontation. China meanwhile is steadily pushing a global agenda of peace, development, sustainability, cooperation, and adherence to international law. Full interview here: • • Why Does the West Fear... <
