CGTN: The Ukraine crisis: The West’s provocative culpability

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I wonder what the current crisis in Ukraine might look like if only Western leaders had heeded an important piece of advice. No man is perfect, but good luck finding someone who understands geopolitics better than Henry Kissinger. The man celebrated most especially in the U.S. and China for …

CGTN: U.S. senator swings, misses in criticism of China

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I explore why one U.S. senator needs to rethink his let's-sanction-China strategy. Returning to Rubio, we must acknowledge that in attempting to validate his bona fides as an anti-Communist, he is ignoring reality. Any sanctions the U.S. would issue against China would be met with a response by the …

CGTN: Flawed narrative about China in U.S. damages potential for a shared future

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I explore the culture of fear about China that has been created in the U.S. ...the American public is not being served by the biased assessment of China's history, potential and ambitions coming from the elite media and so-called experts. Trust is essential if real progress between the two …

CGTN: Lies about WMD damage U.S. credibility at U.N.

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I examine why the years 2003 and 2021 remain critical in understanding why U.S. credibility is questioned around the world. The damage done to U.S. credibility across the world because of the lies about Iraq and China ensure a dark cloud continues to hang over Washington. Put rather bluntly: …

CGTN: America’s MIC to gain from Russia-Ukraine war

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I ask people to remember that America's military-industrial complex stands to benefit from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. In the coming days, we should expect a barrage of military "experts" from inside and outside the armed forces to receive ample space in America's newspapers and time on America's television news …

CGTN: “China Initiative” is dead, but America’s distrust of China is not

18Oct2017, Photo: Anthony Moretti In my latest editorial for CGTN, I remind the audience that we should be careful before we choose to celebrate the demise of the China Initiative in the U.S. At the same time the China Initiative ended, a new program was started. According to the Washington Post, the "Strategy for Countering …

CGTN: USTR report again ignores disastrous American policies

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I take a look at a new U.S. government report critical of China. Admire or criticize the domestic and international economic policies pursued by China all you want, but you must admit they have led to a stronger nation with millions of people raised out of poverty. China is …

CGTN: It’s time for the U.S. to end its failed “China Initiative”

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I outline why the Biden administration has to end the failed "China Initiative" now. We must not mince words here: The "China Initiative" has nothing to do with uncovering educators who are seeking to share important research findings with China. And it has nothing to do with national security. …

CGTN: Amid ice-cold relations, top U.S. and Russian leaders talk of Ukraine

A signature of Red Square In my latest editorial for CGTN, I examine the hand U.S. officials are attempting to play as they try to diffuse the dangerous situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
