In the escalations between the US and China, one is the aggressor and the other is acting defensively. You can tell which is which by asking yourself how the other would react if the situation was reversed. If China started doing this to the US there would be war instantaneously.
"That military presence is to protect China's neighbors from Chinese aggression."
Look up all USA's murderous interventions in Central and South America. China would be far MORE justified setting up a military presence to protect nations like Cuba and Venezuela. Yet it doesn't.
This means between the US power alliance and China, Washington is the aggressor and Beijing is acting defensively. The reason western news media do not report on these escalations in this way is because western news media is propaganda.
This is self-evident. Anyone who says otherwise is lying and knows it.

The oligarchic empire is working harder and harder to bolt down our minds in service of its agendas.
One time I tweeted that anarchism sounds good in theory but in practice it just means regurgitating foreign policy talking points from the US State Department, and the thread quickly filled up with anarchists regurgitating State Department lines about Russia, China and Syria.
Hey @netflix you wouldn't happen to be launching a propaganda operation about WikiLeaks three days before Julian Assange's court date on October 27th, would you?
I ask because it really seems like you are launching a propaganda operation about WikiLeaks three days before Julian Assange's court date on October 27th. wsws.org/en/articles/20…
I mean I guess maybe it could be a coincidence that you @netflix are launching a 130-minute smear job on Julian Assange three days before a crucial court date for Julian Assange. That's why I thought I'd ask.
This tweet had nearly 26k shares. He said there was going to be a "final solution" in which a third of Uyghurs are exterminated and the rest enslaved and exploited.
The financial elite hate crypto not because crypto itself poses a threat to their empire, but its existence is destroying trust/belief in the "realness" narrative of money among regular people. Bitcoin is imaginary, but it's worth real money. Why? Because money is also imaginary.
The complexity of the markets is absolutely essential in controlling the narrative around why a few live like kings while the rest work like slaves just to keep a roof over their heads. You, regular person, are not meant to understand it. Because if you did it could not continue.
If you define crypto as shares it makes it clear that shares don't need to be based in any kind of physical reality in order to create "value" in a market-based system. Crypto as currency makes it clear that currency doesn't need the trade of a national economy to back it.
