This week on the Global Research News Hour, following the victory of a party in Taiwan favouring Independence from China, and following years worth of Sinophobia cemented by the west after the COVID-19 fiasco, we are taking a look at the positive and not so positive factors that have made the world’s most populous country what it is today. In our first half hour, we are joined by author Patrick wood of Technocracy.news. HE explains how the Trilateral commission actually turned the country into a technocracy which is spreading around the world, including America itself and why this is alarming to him. Then in the second half hour, we are joined once again by journalist and independent writer Pepe Escobar who does not see China launching an attack on Taiwan following the election of the Democratic Progressive Party, and instead explains how China is on a roll while the US continues to wither away.
