Last January, China alerted major international scientific bodies about the eruption of a dangerous new virus and heavily promoted basic precautions. U.S. politicians and corporate media ridiculed this and ignored warnings. Washington ramped up its policy of racist propaganda, military encirclement, trade war, and sanctions. The consequence: tens of thousands of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., among the highest in the world. Rather than global cooperation, the U.S. chose competition, profits over people, and military build-up.
This is a book to break the U.S. media blockade of all positive Chinese accomplishments and acceptable topics of discussion. An anthology with articles written by people from around the world, some of the areas it explores are: warnings from China, spiraling disaster in the U.S., systemic U.S. racism and COVID-19, global aid from China, the race for a vaccine, and the escalating anti-China campaign. Notable writers and commentators include: Vijay Prishad, Lee Siu Hin, Max Blumenthal, K.J. Noh, Kevin Zeese, Julie M. Tang, Margaret Flowers, Ajamu Baraka, Mumia Abu Jamal, Margaret Kimberley, Sara Flounders, Carlos Martinez, and more.
