China's World View via the NYT

 A typical NYT pro-imperialist oped posing as a ''news report'' with one example and one concluding opinion--tr

One example of opedness-- ’Russia upended European security when he [Putin] launched an invasion of Ukraine 21 months ago.’’ How about; “America upended European security when it launched an expansion of NATO to the borders of Russia.’’ Or “America and the European Union upended European security when they sponsored a right-wing anti-Russian coup overthrowing a democratically elected Ukrainian government.’’ The NYT = the imperialist ''paper of record.'''
Concluding postscript-- “They’re doing this [ supporting the aspirations of poorer nations] as a way to signal to the Global South that China will support those countries in a way that they probably shouldn’t expect Western countries in general, and the U.S. in particular, to support them,” said Jonathan Fulton, a nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council.” [That’s because China doesn’t see them as neocolonial cash cows to exploit for their resources and as a source of super profits for Western monopoly capitalist exploitation and military abuse.]
