Germany Is Sabotaging Its Relations With China

October 29, 2025 Sevim Dagdelen, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! China, Germany, Trade, Vassal state

The visit of German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt to Beijing 50 years ago was a visit that lifted German-Chinese relations to a completely new level. On 31 October 1975, Schmidt met the Chinese head of state Mao Zedong. In preparation he had read Mao’s poems. It was the first visit of a German chancellor to China. Schmidt remained someone who, throughout his life, wanted to break with the colonial past of the West in China, and advocated relations on equal footing and with mutual respect. For example, in his discussion of the book The Governance of China by Chinese President Xi Jinping, he called on the West to replace arrogance with fair competition in its relationship with China.

The ‘Donroe Doctrine’: Trump’s Neocolonial Plan For Latin America

October 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report China, Colombia, Donald Trump, Latin America, Marco Rubio, Monroe Doctrine, Pete Hegseth, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The US government has always meddled in Latin America’s internal affairs. This is far from new. The United States overthrew at least 41 governments in Latin America from 1898 to 1994, according to research by Columbia University historian John Coatsworth. In the past three decades, Washington has backed dozens more coups, coup attempts, regime-change operations, and “color revolutions” in the region. The US military has intervened in every single country in Latin America, according to data from the Congressional Research Service. (The only exception is French Guiana, which is a colony of France.) US imperialism has always been bipartisan in Washington, and has continued under both Republican and Democratic presidents.

Communist Party Of China Opens Deliberations On 15th Five-Year Plan

October 22, 2025 Mauro Ramos, People's Dispatch. Create! China, Communist Party, Five Year Plans, Socialism

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) began this Monday, October 20, in Beijing, with the agenda focused on drafting proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for the country’s economic and social development. The discussion of the five-year plan at the Fourth Session represents a change in the usual calendar, as this discussion normally takes place at the Fifth Plenary Session. The change may have occurred due to the delay of the Third Plenary Session, which did not take place until August 2024. Following the usual calendar, it was expected to take place in 2023.

Madagascar Erupts, Indian Ocean Power Dynamics In Flux

October 21, 2025 Aidan J. Simardone, The Cradle. Strategize! China, France, Indian Ocean, Madagascar, Trade Routes

After weeks of protests and a mutiny, former Madagascar president Andry Rajoelina boarded a French military plane and fled the country. With a public angry at a corrupt, western-aligned government, Madagascar has the potential to shape its future and the whole Indian Ocean. This development comes as global powers scramble for strategic access in a region that holds five of the world’s nine maritime chokepoints. India, China, and the US are expanding their naval and commercial footprint, while France – once the uncontested gatekeeper of these waters – finds itself besieged and in retreat.

Washington’s New War Front To Box In China And Turkiye

October 17, 2025 Cradle Correspondent, The Cradle. Educate! China, Cyprus, European Union (EU), Greece, Israel, Mediterranean, Türkiye, US Imperialism

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s words earlier this month were a clear declaration that the relatively calm waters of the Eastern Mediterranean have become the front line in a wider geopolitical conflict. The threat that “Turkiye will strike first” was not only directed at Greece, Cyprus, or Israel, but at the new security architecture forming on the edge of the west, what can be called the “Mediterranean Arc.” This tripartite strategic partnership has evolved beyond a regional coalition countering Ankara’s ambitions. It now forms a critical node in a broader geopolitical constellation known as the Indo-Mediterranean Rim – the central stage of intensifying competition between the US and China across Eurasia and beyond.

China’s Material Squeeze Exposes US Industrial Fragility

October 13, 2025 Warwick Powell, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! China, Global South, Imperialism, Resources

When Washington declared an economic war on China’s technology ascent, it assumed it held the upper hand. Tariffs, export bans, entity lists and chip sanctions were meant to isolate Beijing, choke its access to critical inputs, strangle its technological development and protect American primacy. Yet with remarkable precision, Beijing has now demonstrated that the United States is the one more deeply entangled in – and dependent upon – China’s command of critical material supply chains. China’s latest round of export controls on lithium batteries, graphite anode materials, and rare earth technologies amounts to the most significant intensification yet in the global race for material sovereignty.

Trump Rattles Markets With New 100 Percent Tariffs On Chinese Goods

October 11, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! China, Donald Trump, South Korea, Tariffs, Xi Jinping

US President Donald Trump announced new 100 percent tariffs on Chinese goods on 10 October and threatened to cancel his meeting with President Xi Jinping. Trump said the levies would take effect on 1 November, describing them as “retaliation” for what he called Beijing’s “extraordinarily aggressive” actions. “It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History,” he wrote on social media. He added that the new measures would target “any and all critical software” exports, accusing China of holding the world “captive” through its dominance of rare earth minerals. “There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World captive,” he said.

Venezuela At UNSC: ‘We Believe We Are Facing Imminent US Attack’

On Friday, Venezuela’s ambassador to the United Nations, Samuel Moncada, alerted the UN Security Council that Venezuela strongly believes a US military attack is imminent. He characterized the situation as the latest aggression in decades-long attempts to oust first President Hugo Chávez and now President Nicolás Maduro. “The plan is clear,” he said during an emergency meeting. “It is once again about executing the operation that already failed: overthrowing the legitimate and constitutional President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, to install a puppet regime and turn our country into a colony.” When questioned by the press, Moncada elaborated on the sense of urgency.

Nuclear War: The Missiles Of October

October 9, 2025 Scott Ritter, Consortium News. Educate! China, Nuclear Treaty, Nuclear Weapons, Russia, Trump Administration

The last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia — New START — is set to expire on Feb. 5, 2026. This treaty, which caps the nuclear arsenals of both nations at 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear weapons each, was signed back in 2010, during the administrations of U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. At that time, the two nations were engaged in what proved to be an abortive “reset” of relations. But the underlying problems which prompted the need for a reset — NATO expansion, continued U.S. pursuit of hegemony disguised as a “rules based international order” and a general U.S. disregard for arms control as a necessary mechanism of global stability — were never fully addressed

The True Face Of The White House Plan: More Money To Kill

October 6, 2025 Raul Antonio Capote, Resumen English. Educate! China, Nicaragua, Trump Administration, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The United States announced that it will allocate $1.8 billion to foreign aid projects with a political and strategic vision. According to a document sent to Congress, $400 million will go to Latin America, aimed at confronting the “regimes” of Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba. The Trump administration’s plan seeks to redirect resources toward programs to curb the influence of governments labeled by Washington as “anti-American,” extending its reach to Europe and Greenland in order to “contain China’s advance in strategic sectors.” This narrow and unilateral vision, which prioritizes Washington’s economic and security interests, far from promoting international cooperation based on mutual respect and solidarity, is based on a logic of confrontation that jeopardizes regional and global stability.

A Serious Proposal: Russia And China Call For Global Strategic Stability

Although Bill Clinton signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996, he swiftly funded the “Stockpile Stewardship” program at the US nuclear weapons complex, allowing the Dr. Strangeloves in their labs to continue to perform laboratory tests as well as blowup plutonium with chemical explosives,1,000 feet below the desert floor at the Nevada Test Site on Western Shoshone holy land.

China Is Greening The Global South

September 29, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! China, climate crisis, Energy, Global South, net zero, Renewable Energy

According to an extensive study by Bloomberg NEF, it requires a staggering $7 trillion a year in renewable investments to achieve net zero by 2050, totaling $175 trillion by 2050. Hmm. Accordingly, in 2024 the world invested a record amount, or roughly $2 trillion, which was $5 trillion short of what is necessary per annum for net zero/2050. That $5 trillion shortfall increases the bogey next year and the years after for every year below $7 trillion, until it’ll take $8 trillion in one year, then $9T, then more. For comparison purposes: The Marshall Plan, or European Recovery Program, cost approximately $13.3 billion between 1948 and 1952. Adjusted for inflation, it would be roughly $130 billion in today’s dollars, looking very peaked next to Net Zero.

China Announces Up To 10% Reduction In Greenhouse Gas Emissions By 2035

September 28, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. Create! China, climate crisis, COP30, greenhouse gases

China declared it will voluntarily reduce its economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 7% to 10% from its peak level by 2035, in its attempts to fulfill the requirements of the Paris Agreement. It asked other countries to also “step up actions to realize the beautiful vision of harmony between man and nature and preserve planet earth.” The announcement was made by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his virtual address to the United Nations Climate Summit, which was held alongside the ongoing UNGA summit in New York on Wednesday, September 24. The summit was hosted by UN Secretary General António Guterres along with Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. Brazil is the host of the next COP30 conference in November.

No, The US Doesn’t Need Fossil Fuels To Win ‘An AI Arms Race’

September 28, 2025 Joe Fassler, DeSmog. Educate! Artificial Intelligence, China, climate crisis, Fossil Fuels, Renewable Energy

As the U.S. braces for a surge in artificial intelligence (AI)–related electricity demand, the natural gas industry has a message for the public: Fossil fuels must power the future’s data centers, the computer-filled warehouses where AI models like ChatGPT primarily train and deploy. A range of oil and gas industry groups and industry-friendly nonprofits are making the case that AI’s growing hunger for power requires a robust fossil-energy scale-up, DeSmog has found. This massive deployment of dirty power is a national security necessity, they say. And Trump administration officials have embraced this message. But experts on renewable energy economics and deployment say this narrative is misleading. They posit that a new era of gas-powered data centers is neither necessary nor inevitable.

The Soviets Defeated Nazism, But Western Fascism Lived On

September 26, 2025 Jamarl Thomas, Black Agenda Report. Educate! China, Fascism, Nazis, Russia, Western Nations

Victory Day! China just commemorated the 80th anniversary of its victory over Japan in the Second World War. This comes several months after Russia’s own massive celebration of the Great Patriotic War and its victory over Hitler’s Nazi war machine. I find the unfathomable sacrifices honored at these celebrations to be sacred. More than 80% of the Nazis were vanquished on the Eastern Front. This test of strength came at the great expense of 25 to 30 million Soviets. But more significantly, the Great Patriotic War was fought against Nazi ideology around notions of German supremacy. Unfortunately, the causes and costs of this war have been forgotten, while our current geopolitical order demonstrates that the lessons against supremacist ideologies were not fully internalized. The reality is that, while the Soviets won the war, the Nazis ultimately won the “peace.”
