Covid Cold War

Boris Johnson is now reducing Hauwei’s role in Britain’s 5G network, falling more into line with the US.

Instead of learning some lessons from Covid, mainly about how shit neoliberal capitalism is, it looks like we’re going to intensify the new Cold War against socialist China instead. Yay.

Western elites didn’t accept the presence of the Soviet Union on the world stage, (nor any other country that rejects western domination), so they sure as hell won’t be accepting China, now that they’ve got all they can get out of cheap Chinese labor. The CIA will likely currently be targeting all nations that are forging close ties with China.

We need an anti-imperialist, peace movement now more than ever, to oppose this new Cold War, (which will be hot for many, just as the last one was. And could potentially be extremely hot for all of us).

Watch John Pilger’s doc, broadcast on ITV a couple of years ago:
