  • The world socialist website is still a propaganda medium that supports regimes that are traditionally authoritarian, like China, Russia, North Korea, and Venezuela. Very often, they frame narratives of "US versus China/Russia" which means they may have a very hard time at least in the near future as the US is turning authoritarian, too.

    It won't change the fact that the world socialist website is not a reliable source and should not be trusted, though.

  • This Progressive International is another self-proclaimed 'left-wing' organization openly hailing authoritarian governments' politics and spreading anti-democratic propaganda by conveying, for example, pro-China narratives - such as Beijing's 'democracy' - and demanding the 'dismantlement of NATO.' Yanis Varoufakis is also among the guests there.

  • I added a link in the body of the text that addresses your question.

    To answer in short: No, China is not the only country that is plundering the sea, but it is by far the worst by all standards.

  • South Korea’s Lee Jae Myung in Beijing, sees full restoration of China ties in 2026

    Jump

  • Mr. Lee didn't say anything about Taiwan and Beijing's threats against Japan's PM, nor did he mention Beijing's bullying in the South China Sea. Let's hope he makes correct decisions.

  • Press TV is an Iranian news network that is affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

    These are the same guys who are telling you that the Iranian people don't what a regime change. There is no economic crisis, hyper-inflation, water shortage due to incompetent (and indifferent?) and hypocritical politicians.

    Edit: sopuli.xyz also looks good imo.

  • The author contradicts himself:

    When a citizen sees the currency lose half its value while news of systemic corruption breaks, the opportunity cost of rebellion drops to near zero.

    This is not only about relief from sanctions but also about endemic corruption among political elites, power monopolized by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and their affiliated businesses. Just a few weeks ago a leaked wedding video laid bare the luxurious lives of Iran’s political elite and highlighted hypocrisy of the Islamic Republic:

    A video purportedly showing the wedding of the daughter of Ali Shamkhani, a top advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, has sparked widespread reactions on social media. Users are criticizing the Islamic Republic officials’ hypocrisy and double standards ...

  • I am absolutely not religious nor do I feel close to any ideology, but the framing of the problem here as "the CCP's inflexibility" whereas the parents made a 'reckless choice' seems a bit odd to me. This is another grave human rights violation by Beijing. What they did is -again- a crime against humanity. So the recklessness is the CCP's characteristic I would say.

  • What interest do China and Russia have in Venezuela?

  • Yeah, but the individual interests are important as it is China and Russia that attack other ships if and when it deems them appropriate. It's not only the US.

  • What is "hard capitalisation" (or "hard capitalism")?

    The official (official!) Chinese data has been showing a deflation for more than two years now. At the same time, the official GDP rose by ~5% annually (spoiler: There has never been an economy in history that saw a rise in output during a period of persistent deflation).

    Official data also says that investment in large assets (infrastructure like railways, property, factories, streets) between January and November 2025 went down by 2.6% year-on-year (mainly due to a slump in real estate investments that went down by ~16%). China's government itself officially admitted the country has an issue with domestic consumption, with first timid attempts to revive spending didn't show meaningful results. However, we can assume that China will soon announce that the government's goal of a 5% GDP growth in 2025 has been met. This, of course, makes no economic sense (and, of course, I am by far not alone with this opinion).

  • This is a propaganda site as they intentionally seek information supporting propaganda and information supporting propaganda only. They have a strong article selection bias, and they support China’s aggression against Taiwan and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, among other things. We must clearly say that this is not a reliable source.
