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 … Continue reading CGTN: The Ukraine crisis: The West’s provocative culpability →

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 … Continue reading CGTN: U.S. senator swings, misses in criticism of China →

When Blinken on Friday met Lavrov for high-level talks designed to find some way out of the crisis around Ukraine, the rather … Continue reading CGTN: Amid ice-cold relations, top U.S. and Russian leaders talk of Ukraine →

WaPo takes another shot at China and Russia over vaccines

I think at this point we can affirm the Washington Post dislikes anything emanating from China. In a story about vaccine distribution around the world, the paper notes With supply tight, China and Russia have engaged in vaccine diplomacy, donating or selling doses to countries in need in an apparent bid for influence. Pakistan, for instance, has … Continue reading WaPo takes another shot at China and Russia over vaccines →

Vaccine makers fear China and Russia, appear willing to let people die to get their way

The Financial Times reports U.S. vaccine makers believe they must be protected from China and Russia. But such protection could cause many more people to die. Remember, more than 100 nations have supported the idea of a temporary patent waiver that would expand production of coronavirus vaccines around the globe, and plenty of politicians are … Continue reading Vaccine makers fear China and Russia, appear willing to let people die to get their way →
