Vijay Prashad Warns Biden Is Doubling Down on Trump s Anti China Cold War Policy

Beijing has accused the U. S. of perpetuating a Cold War mentality as President Joe Biden and senior administration officials shore up alliances in the Pacific region to counter Chinas growing influence and increasingly describe the country as a geopolitical threat. Vijay Prashad, director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, says the bellicose tone out of Washington is not because the U. S. sees China as a military threat, but because China threatens U. S. dominance in the scientific, technological and diplomatic spheres. Its very chilling what the U. S. government is doing in ramping up this cold war, says Prashad. , DemocracyNow Democracy Now is an independent global news hour that airs on nearly 1, 400 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
