    It is not just the South China Sea that the Chinese government wants, but according to NASA chief, it is the Moon.

    In an interview with a German newspaper, Bild, he cautioned, “We must be very concerned that China is landing on the Moon and saying: ‘It’s ours now and you stay out.’”

    How many more atomic bombs do they need ? Just one or two are enough to wipe out most human beings. Chinese capitalism is a threat to the economical interests of the western capitalists. They might remove their crown

    Again, using the trade war as cover and ignoring its own exploitation of migrant workers, both official and unofficial, the USA accuses both China and Russia of facilitating human trafficking.

    In regards of the Chinese-led Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of infrastructure projects around the world

    “PRC [People’s Republic of China] and host country nationals employed in some BRI construction projects, mining operations, and factories in African, European, Middle Eastern, Asian, Pacific, Latin American, and Caribbean countries experience deceptive recruitment into debt bondage, arbitrary wage garnishing or withholding, contract irregularities, confiscation of travel and identity documentation, forced overtime, and resignation penalties,” the report said.

    Workers also faced “intimidation and threats, physical violence, denial of access to urgent medical care, poor working and living conditions, restricted freedom of movement and communication, and retaliation for reported abuses”, it added.

    The annual report also accuses Beijing of “government policy or pattern of widespread forced labor, including through the continued mass arbitrary detention of Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, ethnic Kyrgyz, and members of other Turkic and/or Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang”.

    A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington said, “If the US wants to call out countries that engage in human trafficking, it should firstly point fingers at itself,”

    Human trafficking and child labor in the USA is an epidemic, as well, most of the USA corporations in Central America are using child labor in many factories and some are performing very dangerous job such as cane cutting using machetes and mochas. The us of immigrants to perform works at the farms is human trafficking and most of those workers are approved by the department of labor and they receive very low salary, without any benefits and deplorable living conditions

    The propaganda of war

    US military officials have raised alarms about the possibility that China could invade Taiwan – possibly by 2027.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/25/chinese-military-has-become-more-aggressive-and-dangerous-says-us-chief-of-staff

    The Chinese military has become significantly more aggressive and dangerous over the past five years, the United States’ top military officer, Gen Mark Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said

    “The Chinese military has become significantly more aggressive and dangerous over the past five years, the United States’ top military officer, Gen Mark Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said”

    When will the Guardian ever have an article with this title: ‘The US military has become a lot more aggressive and dangerous since WWII’? Answer: On the 6th of never.

    You have to wonder if the Guardian reporters own an atlas since they cannot see that on a map the China South Sea corresponds to the Chinese as the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean does for the USA, which has the whole wide Pacific Ocean separating the USA from the China South Sea.
