Whether the recent agreement holds together or not, the Camp David meeting is a further step in Washington’s strategy of inserting tensions, instability and continuing provocations in the region in an attempt to block China’s development and its growing regional trade with its neighbors. Washington is attempting to distract from the economic decline of the U.S. by asserting its military dominance in the Pacific.
U.S. corporations are the main beneficiaries of a policy that obstructs Japan’s and South Korea’s trade with China. China’s huge economy is a major market for their products, thus aiding the economies of its two neighbors. According to the Wilson Center, China is the top trading partner of more than 120 countries, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia. U.S. corporate interests are consumed with the task of how to reverse this economic reality and contain China, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
This new Camp David military pact follows Washington’s revival and upgrading of the QUAD — the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue among four countries: the U.S., India, Australia and Japan. The Quad holds joint military exercises that openly target China.
Right, everyone (especially the US) is to blame for the consequences of Russia's attack on Ukraine... except for Russia. Russia should have been allowed to invade Ukraine with no consequences.
Considering that there was already a recession due to COVID-19, blaming the sanctions as the primary source of recession is specious.
Welcome to Economics 101. Lower supply results in higher demand. Perhaps if Russia wanted to continue to participate in the global economy they shouldn't have started a war.
This is true, it is the overtly stated goal. The current regime in Russia is responsible for starting a war.
Yes, they all decided to support a warmonger instead.
This article is pro-Russian propaganda. It seeks to lay the blame for the impact of the war that Russia started on anyone but Russia.
It’s on Lemmygrad. It’s nothing more than a Russian boot licking shithole of an instance.
Look at how they talk about Japan and South Korea not wanting to trade with China because of the US. While ignoring the literal CENTURIES of history that give us various other reasons than just “US make demand.” Obviously the US is part of it, but we give Japan and SK the strength to step away as well. It’s honestly a miracle given the history we even got Japan and SK to work together.
Korea has had a millennia of mostly good relations and trade with China before the split.
