Nicaragua And The US Hemispheric Doctrine

October 6, 2026 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla Con Sal. , , , ,
The government of our Co-Presidents Comandante Daniel and Compañera Rosario coordinates closely with neighboring countries on fundamental issues for the regional economy. The cooperation covers electric power sharing, public health, environmental policies, monitoring of natural phenomena, border security, tourism development and the countless other issues that arise in the region’s bilateral relations. The Sandinista government has made Nicaragua an exemplary country in all areas of national life despite the illegal application by the Western powers of various harmful unilateral coercive measures.

Biggest Lesson From Xi-Trump Summit Is Not What You Think

September 29, 2026 Danny Haiphong, Chronicles of Haiphong. , , , , ,
Most mainstream observers of the Xi-Trump Summit focused entirely on deliverable outcomes. Would the summit be a step toward improved US-China trade ties? Would it produce a breakthrough between the US and China on issues such as tariffs, high-technology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)? These questions are reasonable ones to ask given that the US and China are the two biggest economies in the world. However, they miss the biggest lesson of all from Xi and Trump’s exchange. The biggest take away from the summit is that it is now impossible to ignore what Xi Jinping told Russian President Vladimir Putin at the end of their summit in Moscow in 2023.

The Real Reason Trump Invited China’s President Xi To Washington

September 28, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
China’s President Xi Jinping was invited to Washington this September, where he attended a three-day summit with Donald Trump. This meeting was widely covered in the media, but it led to very few concrete outcomes. The uneventful summit symbolized two key points: one, the United States has clearly lost the trade war that it waged against China; and two, US corporations are now desperately trying to get access to the massive Chinese market. Trump launched the trade war during his first term as president. It was then largely continued by his Democratic successor, Joe Biden, who hit China’s tech sector with tariffs of up to 100%, while banning the export of AI chips to the Asian giant.

Collaboration, Not Confrontation: Xi Jinping’s Visit To The United States

September 22, 2026 Vijay Prashad, BreakThrough News. , , , , ,
President Xi Jinping is set to visit to the United States from September 23-25. His visit must be understood as more than an encounter between two heads of state, but it must be seen as an encounter between two possible futures. In one future, the United States imposes a spiral of confrontation against China. Trade disputes harden into economic warfare, then economic warfare intensifies into technological blockades, technological blockades produce military encirclement, and finally military encirclement creates incidents, and incidents the danger of becoming an unimaginable war.

Against Geopolitical Despair

September 20, 2026 Danny Haiphong, Substack. , , , ,
It makes sense why despair is spreading across the combined West, particularly in the United States. I’ve received comments and messages claiming that I mislead audiences by spreading optimism incongruent with reality. They go a little something like this: Stop promoting the notion that the US empire is dead. Stop saying it’s collapsing and has been defeated. How many times are you going to tell us that US hegemony has been destroyed when it so obviously has not? To those asking me these questions, the US empire is flourishing and its grip on global power increasing with every act of violence.

China And Russia Oppose Deployment Of US Weapons To Space

September 18, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , , , ,
After the US officially admitted it deployed weapons into outer space earlier this week, Russia and China expressed concerns, calling it a threat to international peace and demanding the immediate stoppage of all such activities. During a regular press conference on Tuesday, September 15, Guo Jiakun, official spokesperson of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that “China opposes any arms race in outer space or any attempt to weaponize it and turn it into a warzone.” He further said that “China stands for the peaceful use of outer space and keeping it safe” and urged the US to “stop expanding military build-up in outer space, and uphold global strategic stability with concrete actions.”

Student Performance In Western Countries Plummets, China Excels

September 10, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Student performance across western developed countries has continued to decline, reaching the lowest average ever recorded in science, reading, and mathematics, according to testing data released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on 8 September. The conclusions come from the 2025 PISA study, a global test administered by the OECD every three years to 760,000 15-year-olds across 91 OECD and non-OECD countries. The OECD currently has 38 member countries, mostly higher-income democracies, including the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Australia.

China Says Regional Integration Is The Path To Security In West Asia

September 8, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , , , , ,
Chinese President Xi Jinping underlined the need for stronger international coordination for common security in West Asia and a reaffirmation of the UN Charter and international law. Xi demanded external powers must respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries in the region and stop interfering in their internal affairs. China is ready to work with the countries in the region to “safeguard the security of international shipping lanes, advance development cooperation, promote the convergence of interests of regional countries, gradually enhance mutual trust, and eliminate root causes of the conflict,” Xi proposed.

USA And Israel Put Drug Cartel-Linked US Citizen In Power In Colombia

August 20, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , ,
The United States has a long history of meddling in the internal affairs of Latin America. But in recent years, US interference has become even more extreme and explicit. And it is not just the US that is meddling in Latin American politics, but also Israel. A case study of this foreign interference is the political situation today in Colombia. Colombia has a new, multimillionaire, far-right president named Abelardo de la Espriella. He is a US citizen who voted for Donald Trump, and worked for years as a lawyer in Miami, Florida, defending drug traffickers. De la Espriella has outsourced Colombia’s foreign policy to Washington, and he strongly supports Israel, while vowing to limit ties with China.

Strait Of Hormuz Will Reopen Only When US Accepts Iran’s Conditions

August 13, 2026 Press TV, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Mohsen Rezaei, the newly appointed head of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), told Chinese Ambassador to Tehran Zong Piyu in a Tuesday meeting that the US must end the war on Iran and its regional allies and release Iran’s blocked funds for a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. “As long as the US does not change its behavior and accept Iran’s conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened,” Rezaei said in the meeting. He said Iran has also communicated some other conditions to the US through intermediaries that have been involved in indirect negotiations between the two sides in the past weeks.

China Claims Japanese Defense White Paper Exposes Intentions For Remilitarization

August 9, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , ,
China officially objected to references of Taiwan and invocations of alleged “China threats” in this year’s Japanese defense white paper. China also claims the document is proof of the growing re-militarization of Japan, which threatens peace and stability in the region. “The Defense of Japan 2026 White Paper once again targeted China with groundless accusations, rehashing the so-called ‘China threat’ and grossly interfering in China’s internal affairs with brazen comments on China’s Taiwan region,” Lin Jian, official spokesperson of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a regular press conference on Wednesday, August 5.

Who Benefits From Rising Tensions In The South China Sea?

August 7, 2026 Danny Haiphong, Socialist China. , , ,
Tensions in the South China Sea flared again on 20 July, when a Philippine Navy vessel illegally grounded at China’s Ren’ai Jiao sparked a confrontation with the China Coast Guard, followed three days later by the Coast Guard driving away two Philippine vessels near Huangyan Dao. In the following article, Friends of Socialist China co-founder Danny Haiphong – a US independent journalist and researcher specialising in US foreign policy and geopolitics – asks who actually benefits from the escalation. His answer is that these clashes did not emerge in a vacuum. They came against the backdrop of the tenth anniversary of the 2016 South China Sea arbitration ruling, marked by a joint statement from the US, Japan, the Philippines and eleven other countries – a ruling China regards as illegal and void, and one advanced most energetically by a United States that is not itself a signatory to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

What Is The Global Governance Initiative About?

July 31, 2026 Jiang Shixue, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
At the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, in Tianjin, China, on September 1, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the Global Governance Initiative (GGI).  On June 17, China’s State Council Information Office released a white paper titled “More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China’s Principles, Proposals and Actions”. China stands ready to work hand in hand with Latin America and the Caribbean to implement the GGI under the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits.  Let’s hope that, with the implementation of the GGI, we can create a brighter future for the world.

US Sanctions Top Chinese Universities And Research Institutes

July 30, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , ,
Last week, the US Department of “War” added China’s leading universities and dozens of other research organizations into a list of foreign institutions considered to be a potential “threat to its national security” over their alleged links with the Chinese armed forces. China has voiced strong opposition to the latest US sanctions, claiming the US is weaponizing its research for political reasons and argued that such moves ultimately harm global collaboration in scientific and technological developments. The list, released on July 23, includes a total of 130 institutions, 88 of which are Chinese.

China’s Open-Weight AI Exposes Fiction Behind Wall Street’s Boom

July 29, 2026 Gary Wilson, Struggle -  La Lucha. , , ,
In July, free software from China set off the worst week for U.S. chip stocks in over a year and briefly cost Nvidia its place as the world’s most valuable company. Wall Street panicked because Chinese firms had matched the leading U.S. artificial intelligence systems. But the selloff exposed something deeper. The AI boom rests on the promise that a handful of U.S. corporations will own the technology and charge the world for every use. China is breaking that monopoly before it can be built. On July 16, the Beijing firm Moonshot AI released Kimi K3. DeepSeek’s V4 model was already on the market. Both compete with the strongest systems from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. Both are “open weight.”
