Margaret Kimberley · US Wages Cold War Against China Because America Can’t Compete

The US confrontation with China is rooted in America being economically eclipsed by the Asian juggernaut, said Julie Varughese, Solidarity Network Coordinator of Black Alliance for Peace, in a Green Party webinar on Joe Biden’s First 100 Days. The Covid-19 experience showed “that China could beat back the virus and then be the only country to experience economic growth” when the rest of the world was in recession,” said Varaghese.
