    Beijing 2022 and China’s challenge to sports imperialism

    Originally published: Qiao Collective on February , 2022 by Charles Xu (more by Qiao Collective)  | (Posted Feb 11, 2022)

    In this essay, Charles Xu exposes these narratives for the new Cold War propaganda they are. At the same time, he draws from valuable left analysis of the Olympic movement’s historical imbrication with white supremacy to explore China’s fraught relationship with international sports.

    Why China’s vaccine internationalism matters

    Originally published: Qiao Collective on April 8, 2021 (more by Qiao Collective)  |

    As rich nations stockpile COVID-19 vaccines, China is providing a lifeline to Global South nations spurned by Western pharmaceuticals and excluded by the West’s neocolonial vaccine nationalism. So why is China being smeared for its efforts?

    Assimilation and empire

    Originally published: Qiao Collective on April 1, 2021 by Xin (more by Qiao Collective)  | (Posted Apr 08, 2021)

    During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an exponential increase in violence against Asian Americans: in New York alone, it’s been reported that violence rose by 1900%, fueled by anti-Asian sentiment.

    Race reductionism: Neocolonialism and the ruse of “Chinese privilege”

    Originally published: Qiao Collective on March 8, 2021 (more by Qiao Collective)  |

    Since 2015, Singapore has seen the rise of a new discourse arguing the existence of Chinese racial supremacy. Influenced by U.S. cultural theories of race, critics of so-called “Chinese privilege” sought to formulate a theoretical framework for thinking about inequality in Singapore.

    Raising their banner high: Fascism, imperialism, and anti-communism at the Capitol Hill riots

    Originally published: Qiao Collective on January 10, 2021 (more by Qiao Collective)  |

    This multicultural dimension of an overtly white supremacist demonstration is not a contradiction: rather, it reflects the convergence between imperialism abroad and fascism at home. Liberal commentators expressed self-righteous dismay at the vandalizing of “our” “iconic symbol of democracy,” worrying about what the events would do to the U.S.’ hallowed image as the shining “city on the hill.”

    The war on China

    Originally published: Qiao Collective on January 2, 2020 by Izak Novak - Izak Novak Blog (more by Qiao Collective)  | (Posted Jan 06, 2021)

    The propaganda surrounding COVID-19 and China’s response is only the latest escalation in a long term geopolitical strategy by U.S. imperialism to destroy it. Few people on the left or the socialist movement in the imperial core have been paying attention to the historic breakup of the U.S.-China relationship.

    Qiao Collective on challenging U.S. aggression on China, the role of the Western left

    Originally published: Qiao Collective on December 6, 2020 (more by Qiao Collective)  |

    On the domestic front, the U.S. propaganda machine mostly works instead to position China as this great, menacing oriental Other. We’ve seen this during the COVID-19 pandemic in Trump’s rhetoric about the “China virus” and in Biden’s attempts at one-upmanship.

    In November of 1967, just months before announcing his entrance into the 1968 presidential race, Richard Nixon outlined in Foreign Affairs what would become a north star for Washington’s orientation towards China for the next half-century.

  • End of Cold War Illusions
    Harry Magdoff | F 16N Fighting Falcon | MR Online

    In this reprint of the February 1994 “Notes from the Editors,” former MR editors Harry Magdoff and Paul M. Sweezy ask: “The United States could not have won a more decisive victory in the Cold War. Why, then, does it continue to act as though the Cold War is still on?”
