Almost 20 companies signed contracts Wednesday with Orient Silk Road, the operator of the Shanghai Express, most of them logistics service providers or trading firms.

Some already have cargo on a train that departed from Shanghai this morning, like the industrial electrical components manufacturer NOARK. Every month, the company has been dispatching 8 to 10 40-foot containers, but shipping congestion of the last year has forced it to seek alternatives.

Professor John Walsh in San Francisco: The bar is not higher. The propaganda is fiercer here and you can see its effects on the views of many who consider themselves open-minded about China.

As we look at the last quarter century all the evils that the US has committed around the world are hidden or forgotten or justified in the name of freedom and human rights. Even now the barbarism of holding onto Afghanistan’s savings while the people there are starving, facing a grim winter and suffering from the ravages of Covid is not denounced in the Western press. No charge of genocide there. Just as there has been no charge of the US supported long, slow genocide of the Palestinian people.

The same propaganda is found in the states which the US grabbed control of following WWII and now the NED wants to spread it further.

Basically the US is not competing with China – it is trying to re-impoverish it. China’s economy is already number one by PPP-GDP measures and so for the US to be number one, it must re-impoverish China, weaken it, compromise its sovereignty and if possible break it up, converting China to the new Middle East which is now a wreck. One way this can be accomplished is a war in East Asia which pits states there against one another with the US being the arsenal of barbarism and “leading from behind” – far behind.
