• Our indefatigable associate editor and engine behind the Seek Truth from Fact Foundation Jeff J. Brown interviews Cynthia Chung, head of The Rising Tide Foundation, a formidable scholar and one of the most important intellects working today in the anti-imperialist field. Cynthia and Jeff discuss the contents of Cynthia’s new ground-breaking book ‘The Empire on Which the Sun Never Set: The Anglo-American Origins of International Fascism” (vol 1) .

EDITOR—Despite threats, China does not rely heavily on the US market anymore, focusing instead on regions like Russia, ASEAN, and through initiatives like the Belt and Road.

– The US needs China more due to its role in filling stores like Walmart with goods.

– Concerns about the Pentagon’s desire for conflict with China by 2027 are discussed.

– Jeff highlights that any war would be economically motivated rather than for national security.

– He warns of the potential for a false flag operation to justify military action against China.

JEFF J. BROWN—A good friend of mine just sent me an article that came out the first week of 2025 in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) entitled: “China’s Economy is Burdened by Years of Excess. Here’s how bad it really is.” I’ll include this article for you at the end. You’re welcome to look at it.

Two salient falsities. First, China is the world’s #2 economy? This masturbatory shibboleth wore out its tread years ago. The World Bank and IMF officially announced in 2014 that China had the world’s #1 (PPP-purchasing power parity) economy. (The US and much of the West rely chiefly on heavily privatised, “financialised” capitalist economies, producing little in the form of tangible goods.)

EDITOR—Jeff explains how the West’s “Bubble” mentality, fully reflective of US/UK imperialist arrogance, has contributed to the inability of imperial leaders to understand how the rest of the world (outside the captive “collective West” in the EU, Japan, Australia, etc.) , is now fed up with oppressive, exploitative, dictatorial and often downright criminal postures, and actively seeking to build a fully sovereign alliance structure (BRICS, SCO, etc.) away from and fully independent of Washington’s control.
