Western imperialist aggression against China has been colossal, unrelenting and sociopathic in nature. The invaders’ depraved actions, amply documented, wipe out all claims to representing a superior civilisation. And most of these nations, particularly the Anglo-American alliance, are still trying to impose their supremacy on the Chinese people (as well as on other nations seeking genuine independence from the US-led bloc), by threats, coercion, and outright violence. This historical summary, facilitated by our colleague Rebecca Chan, should leave no doubt as to the moral bankruptcy of the West, its image of progressivism and benevolence a cruel farce maintained only by the world’s most cynical and sophisticated machinery of propaganda. It is indeed expertly manufactured ignorance that shields these criminal ruling elites from well-deserved public retribution.

Chinese media warn US/Taiwan not to miscalculate Beijing’s will to fight in case of further provocations
9 minutes readSince the US has moved to the step of landing a military cargo plane in Taiwan island, escalating the situation to a tipping point of military action, each step they take may trigger military friction and confrontation. They must understand the mainland is much better prepared for this kind of clash, both in terms of real action and willpower.

Greenwald: FBI Using the Same Fear Tactic From the First War on Terror: Orchestrating its Own Terrorism Plots
56 minutes readGLENN GREENWALD—When Carlson raised these same questions on his Fox program, he did what I did when doing so: cited my reporting as well as Trevor Aaronson’s about the FBI’s long history of orchestrating such plots and luring people into them using informants and undercover agents. Much of that reporting about the FBI’s tactics was published by The Intercept, which — when aimed at American Muslims during the First War on Terror — had an editorial view that it was extremely improper and dangerous for the FBI to do this. But now that it is being done to American anti-government activists on the right, the site’s liberal editors seem happy about it.

Nigeria’s President Buhari clampdown on reporting of “security issues” amid mounting turmoil
18 minutes readJEAN SHOUL—The federal government has deployed the air force to attack bandit camps with daily and nightly flights over Zamfara, Kaduna and Katsina states. Buhari has ordered security forces to “shoot any person or persons seen carrying AK-47s in any forest in the country” and banned all mining activities in Zamfara, where the illegal hunt for gold is fueling the crisis. According to the United Nations, 279,000 people were displaced in the northern states of Sokoto, Zamfara and Katsina by the end of 2020, with nearly 2.6 million people across the three states facing food insecurity in 2021. Zamfara’s provincial governor has ordered 6,000 troops to root out bandits from their camps in the vast Rugu forest spanning northern Nigeria and parts of neighbouring Niger.
None of this has succeeded in quelling the violence. The security forces’ brutality and corruption have only served to exacerbate hostility to the federal and state political and economic elites.
