Donald Trump’s cabinet picks signal tougher stance on China

Alexander Gray, who served as National Security Council chief of staff in the first Trump administration, said the selections showed that Trump wanted “to surround himself with strategic thinkers who understand the challenge posed by the People’s Republic of China”. 

But Gray said Waltz would be an “honest broker”, mediating debates in the inter-agency process rather than trying to impose his own positions instead of the president’s.

A brief, weird history of brainwashing

On an early spring day in 1959, Edward Hunter testified before a US Senate subcommittee investigating “the effect of Red China Communes on the United States.” It was the kind of opportunity he relished. A war correspondent who had spent considerable time in Asia, Hunter had achieved brief media stardom in 1951 after his book Brain-Washing in Red China introduced a new concept to the American public: a supposedly scientific system for changing people’s minds, even making them love things they once hated.

But Hunter wasn’t just a reporter, objectively chronicling conditions in China. As he told the assembled senators, he was also an anticommunist activist who served as a propagandist for the OSS, or Office of Strategic Services — something that was considered normal and patriotic at the time. His reporting blurred the line between fact and political mythology.

Netizens in Hong Kong hailed the decision of US-funded Radio Free Asia (RFA) to shut down its Hong Kong office, calling it “another example of the color revolution failing in Hong Kong,” which also shows that this anti-China agency has a guilty conscience and has fled in panic.

You’re Not Actually Helping When You “Support” Protesters In Empire-Targeted Nations

Truthout has a recent article titled “The Left Can Support Protesters in China Without Shilling for US Imperialism” with a subtitle asserting that “Chinese workers and Uyghurs need solidarity from leftists worldwide,” and it at no point attempts to defend either one of those titular claims.

You’re Not Actually Helping When You “Support” Protesters In Empire-Targeted Nations

Truthout interviews Rebecca E Karl, for the above-linked article. She works for NGOs/non-profits affiliated with George Soros and John D. Rockefeller 3rd (Rockefeller Foundation). As for Naomi Klein, she was ‘compromised’ even before coronavirus as covered by Cory Morningstar. I can’t find anything on the Jacobin author, as his name (pseudonym?!) is the same as the deceased Iranian poet and journalist Khosrow Golsorkhi. The GrayZone covered Jacobin, previously.
