China To Washington: ‘Latin America And Caribbean Are Not Anyone’s Backyard’

August 27, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! China, Latin America, the Caribbean, United States, US Imperialism, Venezuela

On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that “Latin America and the Caribbean are not anyone’s backyard,” in response to recent reports in which the commander of the US Southern Command accused China of “infiltrating and plundering resources” from countries in the region. Guo Jiakun urged the United States to “let the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean choose their own course of action.” He added that “the countries of the region have the right to choose their own development paths and partners independently.” The Chinese official dismissed the US accusations as “statements that contradict the facts and repeat outdated phrases,” which “once again expose the deep-rooted Cold War and confrontational mentality of some in the US.”

Today, I have the pleasure of being joined by the renowned Chinese scholar Zhang Weiwei. He is a professor at the prestigious Fudan University in Shanghai. He has millions of followers on Chinese social media. And we just participated in an academic conference. Professor Zhang, it is nice to meet you. I want to begin asking you about your idea of the “China model”. This is something you have been speaking about for many years, for almost 20 years now. If you look at China’s economic development in recent decades, it’s amazing. The statistics don’t lie.

What Is APEC?

If you look at the news, the media treats the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum more like a gala than a policy forum about regional economic policies. Despite high level meetings having occurred between the government and business interests (i.e., the APEC Business Advisory Committee), despite two senior official meetings having taken place, the media has done a negligible job of bringing the agenda and discussions in these meetings to public consciousness or debate. Instead, it has mostly focused on who will be there – K-pop megastar G-Dragon was named APEC Ambassador – or whether the accommodations and infrastructure are adequate.

They Shall Not Pass: Our Call Against Fascism

August 22, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Resist! Anti-fascism, China, Fascism, militarism, New Cold War, Russia

A walk through the Museum of the War of Chinese People’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Beijing makes one despise war and everything about militarism. The museum is not far from the Marco Polo (or Lugou) Bridge, where the Chinese people began their war to liberate their country from the Japanese occupation in the north. The most striking parts of the museum are those that demonstrate the ugly violence of Japanese militarism, such as the Nanjing Massacre (1937–1938); the horrendous biological and chemical warfare and unspeakable human experimentation conducted by Unit 731 in the northeastern city of Harbin (1936–1945); and the prisons for ianfu (‘comfort women’) that the Japanese military established to hold sex slaves for their soldiers.

Trump’s Tariffs Backfire: India Moves Closer To China

August 17, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report BRICS, China, Donald Trump, India, Narendra Modi, Russia, Tariffs, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping

US President Donald Trump is a very contradictory leader. He constantly implements policies that go against his stated goals. The perfect example of this is how Trump has treated BRICS, the Global South-led organization that now represents the majority of the planet. Trump sees BRICS as a major threat to US hegemony, and, in particular, the dominance of the US dollar as the global reserve currency. The US president has openly threatened members of BRICS to try to stop them from seeking alternatives to the dollar. In a press conference at the White House on July 8, Trump complained (emphasis added): BRICS was set up to hurt us. BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar, and take our dollar as the standard, take it off as the standard.

Corporate Landlords Are Taking Over Society, Making Life Unaffordable

Landlords are taking over society. For many average working people, it has become impossible to buy a house. And the cost of renting housing has become prohibitively expensive. This problem is especially bad in the United States. But it’s not only a problem in the US; it’s a problem in many countries around the world — especially in Western countries in North America and Europe, whose economies have become financialized. In the United States, for instance, the largest landlord is not an individual; it’s a massive Wall Street investment firm: Blackstone, the private equity fund. Blackstone owned more than 300,000 rental housing units in the US as of 2023. The number has only increased since then. Blackstone and other Wall Street investment funds have been gobbling up residential housing. Then they ratchet up the cost of rent, which has fueled homelessness, as many people are being evicted from their homes.

Are We On The Verge Of Another Nuclear War?

August 5, 2025 Gerry Condon, Popular Resistance. Resist! China, Hiroshima, Israel, Nuclear Weapons, Russia, Wars and Militarism

Eighty years ago, the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are now nine nuclear-armed nations, many in military confrontation with one another. It is quite remarkable that there has not been another nuclear war. How can this be explained? Some say the absence of another nuclear war proves that nuclear “deterrence” is working, and to some extent that is true. These nations are rightfully afraid of a nuclear conflagration which could obliterate their societies, and even destroy all life on planet Earth. With escalating military confrontations today – even the possibility of a World War – how long can “deterrence” work?

The CIA Built Hundreds Of Covert Websites

August 2, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. Educate! China, CIA, Propaganda, Wars and Militarism

The CIA didn’t just infiltrate governments; it infiltrated the internet itself. For over a decade, Langley operated a sprawling network of covert websites that served as global spy terminals disguised as harmless blogs, news hubs, and fan pages. Beginning in 2004, the CIA established a vast network of at least 885 websites, ranging from Johnny Carson and Star Wars fan pages to online message boards about Rastafari. Spanning 29 languages and targeting at least 36 countries directly, these websites were aimed not only at adversaries such as China, Venezuela, and Russia, but also at allied nations, including France, Italy, and Spain, showing that the United States treats its friends much like its foes.

Iran Confronts Europe’s Trigger Mechanism With Eurasian Allies

July 27, 2025 Vali Kaleji, The Cradle. Educate! China, Diplomacy, Europe, European Union (EU), Iran, Nuclear Agreement, Russia

On 22 July, Tehran hosted a high-level trilateral summit with senior officials from Russia and China to coordinate nuclear and sanctions strategies ahead of Iran’s scheduled negotiations with the European Troika in Istanbul today. All three delegations reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining close coordination on the nuclear file and pledged to expand consultations aimed at countering western policies, particularly US-led sanctions. The trilateral meeting followed a sharp escalation in nuclear tensions. Just last month, the US and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure, prompting Tehran to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

China’s Five-Year Plans Democratic, People-Centred And Grounded In Material Reality

July 27, 2025 Carlos Martinez, Friends of Socialist China. Strategize! China, Democracy, Five Year Plans, Governance

In a wide-ranging interview with Global Times, Friends of Socialist China co-editor Carlos Martinez describes China’s Five-Year Plans (FYPs) as democratic, people-centred, and grounded in material reality. He emphasises that China’s success in planning stems from its ability to align governance with popular needs and long-term strategy. “China is known globally for its effective governance and for its record of keeping its promises”, he notes, citing the 13th FYP’s targeted poverty alleviation campaign as a key example of practical planning based on extensive grassroots research. Carlos stresses that these plans are not top-down decrees but involve widespread consultation, making them highly democratic and responsive to the needs of the people.

The invitation extended to Black Agenda Report to participate in the 2025 Belt and Road Journalists Forum , held in the cities of Nanchang, Jingdezhen, and Ganzhou in Jiangxi province China, was a testament to our 19 year history of providing “news, commentary, and analysis from a Black left perspective.“ Our work is appreciated nationally and internationally, and this columnist attended the Forum along with 100 media representatives from around the world. The Forum is a venue for journalists from Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) nations, but Black Agenda Report was also included, the only outlet participating from the United States.

The Struggle Against US Imperialism, Nicaragua Is A Model Of Sovereignty

July 26, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! China, Daniel Ortega, History, Imperialism, Nicaragua, Palestine, US Imperialism

Today, more and more US government officials, especially those in Donald Trump’s two administrations, have invoked the 200-year-old colonial Monroe Doctrine to claim that Latin America is supposedly Washington’s “backyard”, that the US empire should control it, and that China and Russia cannot have relations with the countries in the region. Given that the US government constantly violates the sovereignty of countries in Latin America, it makes perfect sense that several governments in the region have deepened their partnership with China and Russia, because they see that Beijing and Moscow actually respect their independence and have helped them to economically develop, while Washington has only sought to exploit them.

How The Global Majority Can Free Itself From US Financial Colonialism

July 19, 2025 Michael Hudson, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Anti-Imperialism, BRICS, China, Global Economy, Multipolar World, Neocolonialism

Industrial capitalism was revolutionary in its fight to free Europe’s economies and parliaments from the hereditary privileges and vested interests that survived from feudalism. To make their manufactures competitive in world markets, industrialists needed to end the land rent paid to Europe’s landed aristocracies, the economic rents extracted by trade monopolies, and interest paid to bankers who played no role in financing industry. These rentier incomes add to the economy’s price structure, raising the living wage and other business expenses, thus eating into profits.

Revolutionary Third World Leaders Praise China’s World Role

July 18, 2025 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Educate! China, Foreign Policy, Global South, Great Powers, Imperialism, Media

China is a modern superpower, as is the US, but a qualitatively different superpower. The US uses military aggression, coups, and sanctions to impose US corporate interests worldwide. China is a peaceful power that respects national sovereignty, mutual development, and non-interference. Despite opposing imperialism, a tendency in the Western left is to recycle Western anti-China narratives that liken Chinese trade relations to Western imperial conduct, as in Sri Lanka and the Congo. Others have written of Chinese investments in the Occupied West Bank, and even criticize China for lack of aid to Cuba - clearly not issues the Western powers have problems with.
