Historian Alfred McCoy Predicts the US Empire Is Collapsing as China’s Power Grows

Nov 16, 2021 • President Joe Biden’s virtual summit Monday with Chinese President Xi Jinping follows the two countries’ announcement just days earlier they will work together to confront the climate emergency after Xi did not attend the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow. Tension has been mounting between the two superpowers, especially over Taiwan and Hong Kong, with some speculating that a new Cold War is developing. “The United States, in the immediate future, is faced with the possibility of fighting a war over Taiwan … that it would probably lose,” says Alfred McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in an extended interview about U.S.-China relations. “China is also working to break the U.S. geopolitical hold over the Eurasian landmass.” McCoy is a prolific author and his newest book is out today: “To Govern the Globe: World Orders and Catastrophic Change.”

China Warns US about 'Playing with Fire' on Taiwan - BBC News

Nov 16, 2021 • Chinese President Xi Jinping has used a virtual summit with US counterpart Joe Biden to warn that encouraging Taiwanese independence would be "playing with fire".

The talks are the most substantial since Mr Biden took office in January. Both sides emphasised the two men's personal relationship and the summit was an attempt to ease tensions.

But they could not escape one of the most sensitive topics: the self-ruled island of Taiwan. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province to be reunified with the mainland one day.

The US recognises and has formal ties with China. But it has also pledged to help Taiwan defend itself in the event of an attack.

LE FIGARO : Le Parti communiste chinois a adopté sans surprise un texte qui a encore élevé la stature du président en exercice parmi les icônes du pays.

Un siècle d'histoire pour mieux verrouiller l'avenir: le Parti communiste chinois (PCC) a adopté sans surprise jeudi 11 novembre un texte qui a encore élevé la stature du président Xi Jinping parmi les icônes du pays. Dans le plus grand secret, les près de 400 membres du Comité central, le «parlement» du PCC, ont approuvé une résolution sur «les grandes réussites» du mouvement fondé en 1921.

Dithyrambique, le texte publié par l'agence Chine nouvelle affirme que le PCC, qui gouverne le pays d'une main de fer depuis 72 ans, a écrit «l'épopée la plus magnifique de l'histoire de la nation chinoise sur des millénaires». Dans un pays où l'histoire est traditionnellement utilisée pour légitimer le pouvoir, Xi Jinping a profité de cette résolution pour se présenter en héritier incontestable du régime. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | jeudi 11 novembre 2021
