Yet, some people still cling to these fairy tales like they’re gospel. It’s time to set the record straight, with a healthy dose of sarcasm, because honestly, the … Read more

Source: Australia Asia relationship: Why has a long-term understanding with Asia eluded us?
Australia appears to be accepting that a transactional relationship with Asia will do. And some appear to be entirely relaxed and comfortable about it. But during a speech in Canberra late last month Foreign Minister Penny Wong raised the alarm.
She pointed out that the number of Mandarin-speaking Australians of non-Chinese origin total in the low hundreds.
The world would have been a totally different place, if not for China. China is changing how the world is perceived: COVID-19 is dealt with seriously, a big population is considered a blessing, and “carbon emission isn’t that bad”. First, COVID-19. If it wasn’t China which first reported it and launched a national effort to … Read more

Let’s start with the basics. Roughly 5% of the human race currently live in the United States of America. That very small fraction of humanity, until quite recently, enjoyed about a third of the world’s energy resources and manufactured products and about a quarter of its raw materials. This didn’t happen because nobody else wanted these things, or because the US manufactured and sold something so enticing that the rest of the world eagerly handed over its wealth in exchange. It happened because, as the dominant nation, the US imposed unbalanced patterns of exchange on the rest of the world, and these funnelled a disproportionate share of the planet’s wealth to itself.

French president Emmanuel Macron’s recent comments in Beijing that European countries should avoid “just being America’s followers” and “getting caught up in crises that are not ours” have attracted condemnation from the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (an international alliance of China hawks including Marco Rubio and Iain Duncan Smith), which accuses Macron of “appeasing” Beijing and failing to stand up for democracy.
Friends of Socialist China co-editor Carlos Martinez responded to IPAC’s vitriol in a brief interview with the Morning Star, pointing out that Macron’s comments are essentially a reiteration of the Gaullism that has oriented French foreign policy since the late 1950s. That France should pursue an independent foreign policy based on its own interests, rather than acting as a proxy of the US, is obviously reasonable. Instead of issuing hysterical condemnation of Macron, British politicians would be well advised to follow the example of seeking strategic autonomy and establishing a sensible distance from the US’s reckless New Cold War.
