Qiao partnered with Hong Kong communist group The International 国际 to translate their writing!
"The Hong Kong "democracy movement" co-opts the language of "self-determination" & "autonomy" as a cover to bring Hong Kong more under Western colonial rule" qiaocollective.com/articles/hong-…
“'Hong Kongers' fervently believe that, because HK inherited a European colonial government, they are above the 'Chinamen.' As proxies of imperialism, they fear they could lose their favored positions & strive to reclaim their sense of superiority."
The Hong Kong "democracy movement" co-opts the language of "self-determination" & "autonomy" as a cover to bring HK more under Western colonial rule and to maintain Hong Kong as a capitalist imperialist base through which the West can attack China.
If you read anything today, read the latest from our comrades the International—a group of Hong Kong communists—on the right-wing, anti-communist nature of the HK protests and the Western left's morally bankrupt attempts to paint them as "decolonial." international-online.org/2020/12/13/wtf…
"Having acknowledged the Hong Kong protests’ right-wing nature, Lausan’s ‘leftists’ remain all the more enthusiastic and supportive. Lausan’s claim of being ‘radical’ is really only about giving anti-China, pro-imperialist violence a ‘progressive’ cover." international-online.org/2020/12/13/wtf…
"Despite their mental gymnastics to attempt to prove otherwise, they know very well that the whole basis for ‘self-determination’ in Hong Kong is right-wing anticommunism & anti-Mainland chauvinism. This is what offends the sensitivities of Lausan." international-online.org/2020/12/13/wtf…
On the 83rd anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre, we remember that memory is a political act.
As Japan was absorbed as a junior partner to U.S. empire, its crimes have been silenced, its war criminals pardoned, and justice deferred. Yet still we remember.
In the wake of World War II, the U.S. systematically pardoned Japanese war criminals—including masterminds of the Unit 731 biological warfare unit—all because they were useful tools for U.S. hegemony.
Japanese politicians continue to visit shrines to these criminals.
Historical revisionism has been a convenient tool for the shifting imperial ambitions of the United States in the post-war era. This is all too clear as the U.S. has abetted Japanese revisionism in spite of Chinese and Korean attempts to force Japanese reconciliation and redress.
The U.S. elections today offer mere window dressing to the brutal bipartisan projects of racism, capitalism, and war which engulf the whole world.
The work to build people's democracy continues. The work to derail the U.S. empire, to build real internationalism, continues.
Biden and Trump have both made clear they have every intention to continue to escalate New Cold War aggression on China, sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, Cuba,
and the DPRK, and shore up U.S. empire.
From the perspective of the Global South, there is no "lesser evil."
The CPC understands that U.S. insistence on "great power conflict" has bipartisan support. It is prepared for a 21st century "Long March" against imperialism, to pursue quality growth based on its internal market.
We will not be fooled by "liberal" rhetorical covers to empire.
While the US left regards itself as the vanguard of leftist politics globally, the Chinese left has watched in horror at the fundamentally right-wing politics of the US left. Read our translation of a Chinese leftist on US liberalism & the fake left. qiaocollective.com/en/articles/am…
"If there is a lesson that China must draw from the U.S., it must be that we must remember to remain humble.
We must never emulate the Americans in their blindness, arrogance and self-importance, lack of introspection, or their coarse confidence."
"When Americans criticize they focus the problem onto an individual politician. It is not the system at fault, because the system is perfect. When Chinese people criticize, they focus criticisms on the system and how the system produced the problem." qiaocollective.com/en/articles/am…
