Newsweek's claim that 600 Chinese community groups in the U.S. are "arms of the CCP" is based entirely on the Australian Strategic Policy Institute—which is literally funded by the U.S. State Dept & Raytheon.

This is full-blown McCarthyist manufacturing consent for war on China.
@Newsweek's front-page is claiming that 600 Chinese community groups in the US are "arms of the CCP" with a sinister image of Xi.

This incites violence on Chinese people & imperialism on China, while the US is sending warships & bomber planes everyday into China to incite war.
Newsweek bases its entire claim that China is interfering in the elections on the Director of National Intelligence, National Counterintelligence & Security Center, and ASPI—all entities funded by the US State Dept & military.

This is literal US imperialist media propaganda.
Sinophobia Inc is the propaganda industrial complex of think tanks funded by Western nations and weapons corps to produce propaganda on China that in turn gets cited by Western mainstream media to manufacture consent for war on China.

How the US is Manufacturing Consent for War on China:

1️⃣Western governments & weapons corporations fund think tanks like ASPI to make propaganda
2️⃣Media like the NY Times cite these think tanks
3️⃣These same governments & corps profit from the ensuing war

近一个月,9月17号起,由于Mi’kmaq人民在新斯科舍省Saulnierville建立渔场,在加拿大规定的禁渔期捕龙虾,加拿大公民开始骚扰恐吓Mi’kmaw渔民。建立渔场,在加拿大规定的禁渔期捕龙虾,都是1752年,1760-61年条约保障的Mi’kmaq人民所有权利。 ImageImage
Mi’kmaq人民从没给联合王国或加拿大割让领土;“新斯科舍省”便是Mi’kmaq没割让的领土。这是原住民保持主权的奋斗。

新斯科舍省的渔捞工人破坏Mi’kmaw龙虾笼,打砸Mi’kmaw资产,海上骚扰Mi’kmaw渔船。今星期,一群骚乱者放火一辆货车,破坏一间储存龙虾的仓库。
种族歧视依然在加拿大,美利坚等殖民帝国根深蒂固。#龟岛# 原住活动者把今次破坏Mi’kmaq人民储存龙虾的事件与第19世纪美利坚野牛大杀戮对比:通过威胁原住民的食品安全而侵略原住民族的主权。

A short thread on China-Bolivia relations as we celebrate the watershed victory of MAS and the return of people's democracy to Bolivia:
Chinese investment played a crucial role in MAS's state-led agenda of national development and independence from international financial institutions such as the IMF.

Between 2000 and 2014, bilateral trade between the two nations exploded from $75.3 million to $2.25 billion.
MAS leaders often contrast Chinese investment from Bolivia's past subjugation under IMF austerity.

As Evo Morales put it after meetings with Xi Jinping in 2018, "China's support and aid to Bolivia's economic and social development never attaches any political conditions."

160 years ago on Oct 18, 1860, English and French soldiers destroyed 圆明园 (the Old Summer Palace). The act capped the Second Opium War and was designed to humiliate the Qing.

The war was fought by Western forces to violate China's sovereignty for the profit of imperialists. ImageImage
The Second Opium War was fought by British, French, and US troops to force China to end restrictions on opium imports, respect extraterritorial rights in the foreign concession zones, and "open" China's market to Western corporations.

Rates of opium sale and addiction exploded. Image
Opium dependency remained a bitter symbol of feudalism and imperialism for many decades.

After the communist revolution, China under Mao Zedong led system reforms to rehabilitate 10 million opium addicts, replace poppy growers with new crops, and crack down on drug traders.

China joined 25 other countries at the UN this week in demanding an end to U.S. "unilateral coercive measures," condemning economic sanctions as a violation of international law.

news.yahoo.com/china-leads-un…
U.S. hawks bemoan China's economic and diplomatic support for targets of U.S. sanctions such as Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and the DPRK.

Sanctions are meant to shut out nations from the world economy, so they lose efficacy when nations like China dare to challenge the U.S. line.
Many Chinese firms and officials have incurred secondary sanctions from the U.S. for "violating" unilateral U.S. sanctions on Iran and others.

This is why Chinese diplomacy offers a path to a multipolar world, in which the U.S. cannot singlehandedly strong-arm global affairs.

As anti-imperialists, we cannot be purely reactive to state and mainstream media propaganda against "enemy" nations like China or DPRK.

Rather than chasing myth after myth like whack-a-mole, we need a broad analysis of disinformation to recognize war propaganda when we see it.
Propaganda does not spring out of nowhere. It is part of a machine of state funding, the weapons industry, corporate media, and foreign policy think tanks.

Understanding how this disinformation machine works is foundational to recognizing recurring myths and false narratives.
For 70 years we have seen the same narratives deployed against China, the Soviet Union, DPRK, Iran, etc. The U.S.—the world hegemon—has the gall to label all these nations imperialist, expansionist, and aggressive.

Anti-imperialists ignore the pattern at their own risk.

This year China will eradicate absolute poverty.

Pres Xi said, “Communists are pragmatic. We want people to get benefits and improve their lives."

Read an intimate & beautiful first-hand account of China's poverty alleviation to serve its people: qiaocollective.com/en/articles/th…
Qiao translated this first-hand account of poverty alleviation in Yuangudui—the poorest village in the poorest province in China. Through workers collectives, housing, & education gains, Yuangudui reflects China's socialist fight against poverty.
qiaocollective.com/en/articles/th…
As members of Qiao, this piece has deeply moved us and triggered emotional recollections on how our own families have benefitted tremendously from China's socialist push to improve its people's lives. We hope the piece moves you as much as it moved us.
