President Joe Biden’s digital summit Monday with Chinese language President Xi Jinping follows the 2 international locations’ announcement simply days earlier they are going to work collectively to confront the local weather emergency after Xi didn’t attend the U.N. local weather summit in Glasgow. Stress has been mounting between the 2 superpowers, particularly over Taiwan and Hong Kong, with some speculating {that a} new Chilly Battle is creating. “The US, within the instant future, is confronted with the potential of preventing a battle over Taiwan … that it could in all probability lose,” says Alfred McCoy, professor of historical past on the College of Wisconsin-Madison in an prolonged interview about U.S.-China relations. “China can also be working to interrupt the U.S. geopolitical maintain over the Eurasian landmass.” McCoy is a prolific writer and his latest guide is out immediately: “To Govern the Globe: World Orders and Catastrophic Change.”

"To Govern The Globe" is now downloaded onto my Kindle, probably made in China. Looking forward to learning more. Jan.
It's possible that in first skirmish PLA might win…and for US it's advantageous that PLA win in first skirmish….but the response from the world… not just US… will be nothing that PLA has ever predicted….ever! I would suggest US to just sit tight and wait for PLA to defeat itself! Especially with North Korean and Pakistan under its wing! No longer skirmish from behind the disguise of North Korean and ISI stupidity…. it's out in Open! PLA put itself in the box by promising consequences of ' Boycott of Winter Olympics' and for ' Standing behind Taiwan'.Now ball in PLA's court!!!
Bring it on & feel the consequences!
After this WE ARE DOOMED!
Kudos to Alfred McCoy. His analysis is spot on.
This guy has some of his facts wrong.
First of all – WHY is China wasting her money on armaments for defence purposes when she could have used it on her people? Who is the one who attack China
by stopping her export markets. Who is the one who spread misinformations about China. Who is the one who have military bases surrounded China. Who is the one who formed 5-eyes, QUAD and Aukus patrolling the coastline of China and who is the one who continues to put China down in speech, in actions etc???
China builds longterm. US looks at quarterly results and has zero long term strategy. The US has already lost it
America created this monster by catering to American companies that chose to locate in China rather than pay the American people livable wage.
The US is perfectly happy losing a war in the Pacific if it results in choking off Chinese trade.
I'm calling BS
IT'S ALREADY COLLAPSE OR ELSE U.S. VERY ARROGANT GOD IS TAMING THE U.S.
KEEP DEMOCRACY TO YOURSELVES EVERYBODY GOT THEIR WAY OF LIFE, HOW CAN YOU FORCE YOUR WAY OF LIFE ON OTHERS
Are they (Chinese) coming to USA?
Don't worry man (USA) , they won't let you even realize about it.
You will not know, your government/MPs are more worry about share prices of the weapons manufacturers.
Well, you trusted too much on the intelligence reports from MI-6, they played extremely smart game with USA.
China gets $1 worth of infrastructure for every dollar they invest.
The U.S. government is lucky to get fifty cents because the rest ends up in the pockets of political contributors.
China would never tolerate the grift we have.
Biden is a joke from the beginning, Xi is holding his own.
Kudos to Mr. Juan Gonzalez for his good questions. The US empire is collapsing from within! But its corporations own 50 % of the world's wealth. So, there is no question of any imminent collapse of the American financial empire. Given its not so subtle assumptions, McCoy's views may be veiled propaganda for "resurgent" US imperialism. It needs to be investigated more. It is alarming that this talk of war with China completely overlooks the risk of nuclear exchange between US and China over Taiwan! Given its track record in Asia, including nuclear terrorism in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I have no doubt that it will be the US which would provoke or initiate it. It is frightening that the fate of human civilization and survival rests on the actions of one superpower. I am not talking about China.
In another interview, McCoy observed that due to climate catastrophe making central China uninhabitable that it's empire will probably only stand for 20 or 30 years puts all this egotistical, self-destruction international power politics and drama into perspective. The truth is all nations and all peoples will suffer and be ruled by the Empire of Climate Physics.
Funny, how the 768 billion dollar Military Budget passed right before this meeting.
1 billion dollar of minerals? That is not much??? McCoy is full of shit
In short, McCoy is pointing out that China's strategy is a win win one where it helps other countries to develop their infrastructures and naturally development of economy followed which benefits both parties. All done through goodwill without using superiority as a license to just waddle into other borders and dictate who should govern their countries.
One thing AMericans just don't seem to understand, China doesn't want conflict, but at the same time they are not going to be pushed around by the West any longer! Just look through their history, they have never really invaded ANYONE since 2000 years BC, most of their wars were internal and defending against exterior threats. Unlike the US, most of their wars have been fought across the world! Its just frustrating seeing American hypocrisy being repeated every freaking day, and China gets all the blame.
You spent a trillion dollars of the long-suffering American tax payer in setting up bases, bribing Afghan war lords, opium rackets, air bombings, drone attacks, and savage killings of civilians in Afghanistan. It was the same story in Vietnam and Iraq. No wonder you "didn't get anything".
The look on Biden's face tells us all we need to know about the American "position". It is based on the lunatic notion that world dominance is its "birthright".
Joker there is no relationship between These imaginary events.
I wonder if the Roman Empire still dominate the World?
it will be a great day when the usa is officially surpassed- darn i hate this country- just so darn hard to immigrate to another country
Hear Europeans-Americans talk about humans rights violation irritates me so much 😤!
Welcome to the U.S., were TREASON is always in season.
The Chinese human rights record has no match with America’s human rights record. Truth be told!
Yeah, no shit. China will invade America via Canada. I've known that for 15 years at least
STOP SENDING FOOD AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO CHINA. WE CAN EASILY STARVE THEM OFF THE PLANET
STOP FEEDING CHINA. NO MORE SOYBEANS OR PORK FOR CHINA
Make América Great Again meant the reindustrialization of América, this colides with the interests of the biggest economic groups. Trump was making a rupture with this model of globalization giving priority to MADE IN USA. These were the reasons why media made an enormous WASH BRAIN against Trump. I am not against globalization but against this model of globalization. You also remember recently the giant ship transporting almost 20 thousand containers named Ever Green ? There was some journalists asking how many fuel tons per day is necessary to move a giant like this ? How many of these goods were produced in some place where the enviroment normatives are nule ? Greetings from Portugal in Europe
I admire China more and more. I hope they are the first empire to not be as brutal as all the others. May humanity walk a better path of cooperation!
Wow, US loses the war games over Taiwan. We should start negotiating what we can get by turning Taiwan over.
Human rights in China is not our business, we have our own problems to work on.
I disagree with McCoy that China is out to dominate the world and it never had a history of conquering and invading other poor or weak nations unlike the US. The West had a history of colonisation, slavery, genocide and mass murder. China today has transformed itself into market socialist nation although it still carries their historical "Communist" label as a reminder to the 1.4 billion Chinese people of what the original Communist Party had achieved for the people. China is not out to transform the world or any nation into a ideological Communism. China is a benign country. It has to build up its military power for defensive purposes and to forestall any "bulling" from the US. The west, especilly the US, has a morbid fear of China
Checkmate in 3 moves: THANKS TO CHUMP, HIS HANDLERS & THE BUNCHES OF MINIONs … AMERICA’s TINKER TAILORS!!! Think it thru…
How many rogue nations, states and institutions are greedily awaiting the Chump-inspired US civil war?
Chess, not Checkers…
By taking Chump, as he did, Putin then met with Xi to confirm NoKo will absorb the first shots while exposing US and ensnaring US capabilities in the region, as China moves her pieces, years in advance, to control her seas and guarantee total dominance and easy supremacy in her own backyard.
China will only take Taiwan after the US has engaged in NoKo and Syria and Iran and Saudi Arabia and …, and after opening the front in Crimea, which Putin is completing the processes of setting up, now. It was easier, faster for Putin because they have ALWAYS remained the enemy (which Chump allowed Putin to gain advantage over! – and more stupid REPUGNICAN TRAITORS!! ALL ARE WORKING FOR PUTIN AND XI!!!)
China only really moved to solidify power in the region AFTER Chump began his tyranny and China saw the cards on the table in the US.
Prior to Chump, the Pentagon knew China was on a long term, 100 year plan for the region! Because of STUPIDITY, China is now on a 5 year plan to take back Taiwan, as a direct result of Stupid Orange and his Stupid States – TREASONOUS TRUMP!!!!
Because of TREASONOUS TRUMP!!!! & AMERICA’s TINKER TAILORS!!! Iran is now off the hook and all prior diplomacy, everywhere in all prior agreements, are now voiding. Chump strikes again! Stupid IS as Stupid DOES!
How many rogue nations, states and institutions are greedily awaiting the Chump-inspired US civil war?
Many.
Just when you think the Biden administration couldn’t be more disappointing, he threatens China. Dude is like a catalyst for catastrophe.
America as been busy with destroying its own countrie between the democratic party and republicans ? China and Russia have been busy building thers! Europe is following America perpasly destroying European countries one at a time just like Biden is with the stats across America?.
