{"product_id":"china-is-not-our-enemy","title":"China Is Not Our Enemy","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"China Is Not Our Enemy\" pushes back against the New Cold War being manufactured in Washington and the war fever it is meant to produce. Over the past decade and more, through the \"pivot to Asia,\" trade wars and tariffs, sanctions and export controls on technology, the AUKUS military pact, and an expanding ring of US bases and troop deployments from Japan and South Korea to Guam and the Philippines, the United States has moved to contain a country whose rise threatens the unipolar order it has dominated since the end of the Soviet Union. The Chinese Revolution broke a century of colonial humiliation, and in the decades since, China has carried out one of the most dramatic reductions of poverty in human history: the World Bank estimates that close to 800 million people have been lifted out of extreme poverty since 1978. China maintains a single overseas military base, while the United States garrisons the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dialectical materialist view understands China's path through its own history and contradictions, including revolution, reform, and uneven development, rather than through the cartoon of a threat that US media and politicians repeat. That cartoon has a long and violent history at home, from the Chinese Exclusion Act and the killing of Vincent Chin to the surge of anti-Asian violence during the pandemic, and it is used again to win working people's consent for military budgets, sanctions, and war. The real enemy of working people in the United States is not a people across the Pacific but the system that impoverishes them at home while spending trillions on weapons abroad. Refusing the logic of a zero-sum rivalry, this print stands for peace, for cooperation among the peoples of the world, and for the right of every nation to choose its own path to development and socialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1 print shipped in a rigid mailer (made from recycled cardstock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted on acid-free, premium matte-photo paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\" id=\"productTitle\"\u003epaper weight + thickness: 250\/m² \/ 66lbs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\"\u003e*frame not included*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Color Collective Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42611827441835,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/7458\/2882\/products\/111x17SQUAREPosterFrameMockUp_8a08f7ee-541e-4908-9a89-7b7ab90b9fb9.jpg?v=1759501841","url":"https:\/\/anotherworldpress.org\/products\/china-is-not-our-enemy","provider":"Another World Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
