The left must resolutely oppose the US-led New Cold War on China
The techniques of the original Cold War have been updated and adapted for a new enemy in a new century, and while the political essence is the same it seems that every Cold War must have its own ‘third camp’ in the Western left – with China taking the place of the Soviet Union as the evil ‘social imperialist’ power to be opposed.
Reflections on Hong Kong
Even among the left, China is a controversial topic but – because of this weakness – the US is able to pounce on it all the more easily. And while it may not be another ‘brown’ country the US can invade, it still bears the same hallmarks of racism, bigotry, and shallowness the imperialist media utilises in its quest for regime change. Hong Kong protesters know this and are using this to their advantage – waving signs in English, American flags, and even singing the US national anthem as they make their way to US consulate.
Chinese universities and the new Red Scare
The threat to universities in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and elsewhere comes predominantly from the CIA and other Western intelligence and defense agencies. Based on the long-established practices of the Cold War, they misguidedly seek to control academic research on behalf of the Western capitalist class and deny China access to Western institutions of higher learning and the knowledge they have contributed to.
