Margaret Kimberley · Economically Fading US Chooses Military Confrontation

Unable to keep up with China economically, the United States is militarily encircling its rival and “creating the conditions of a New Cold War,” said Danny Haiphong, contributing editor at Black Agenda Report and co-coordinator of the Black Alliance for Peace Supporter Network. Haiphong notes that China has already surpassed the US in “purchasing power parity” while raising hundreds of millions of its people out of poverty.
