Western media dismisses the National People’s Congress while ignoring its extensive consultation processes, massive public participation mechanisms, and a tiered structure involving millions of deputies, explains JENNY CLEGG

JENNY CLEGG sets out and then responds to eight key doubts about the Brics+ alliance in light of the developments at Kazan, arguing it represents a significant challenge to US hegemony and provides a path towards a multipolar world

JENNY CLEGG pays tribute to a remarkable woman who was a pioneer in bringing about greater understanding between China and the West

The US does not have a plan for peace in the Middle East — nor is it in their interests. China does have a plan — and it is in the interests of the rest of the world that it is listened to and supported, explains JENNY CLEGG

We must disregard smears that it is siding with or even arming Russia, and genuinely engage with its role as a peacemaker — of all the great powers, a just and lasting political settlement is most in China's interests, writes JENNY CLEGG




JENNY CLEGG looks at how the US has learned from the resistance to the Iraq debacle in its preparations for a new and far more terrifying confrontation with its greatest modern rival

As the first European country to forge military links with Japan, Britain provides an example for other Nato members to follow, argues JENNY CLEGG

Since the 20th CPC Congress, 'socialist modernisation with Chinese characteristics' is the goal — meaning the West now has few lessons to teach. In the third and final part of the series, JENNY CLEGG looks at how China will increasingly carve its own path

China’s rich apparently don’t like it, Western commentators call it suicidal — so what exactly is this ‘common prosperity’ that Xi Jinping is promoting in his third term as leader? In part two of three-part series, JENNY CLEGG explains

In the first of a three-part series, JENNY CLEGG looks at the origins of China’s current leader and the ‘left turn’ he has overseen by insisting that ideology once again take a leading role in the life of the Communist Party

Rather than condemning the CPC’s abandonment of two-term limits, we must understand why China’s rapid rise — and consequently the US’s renewed hostility — has meant the party has chosen to centralise power at this time, writes JENNY CLEGG

Completely at odds with her free-market fundamentalism, our new PM is committed to classifying China as a military threat at the cost of economic ties — but will this ideologically driven stance be tolerated by businesses or indeed, British workers, asks JENNY CLEGG

Not every international conflict is some form of inter-imperialist rivalry, argues JENNY CLEGG — we must recognise and support the rise of developing countries and the alliances they make that are slowly creating a more equal world

A new report has cast doubt on the claims of the Nato-funded Australian Strategic Policy Institute that the Chinese government is orchestrating a forced Uighur labour programme, writes JENNY CLEGG

JENNY CLEGG explains the history of the island that has seen it separated from China, but drawing closer until the mid-90s – and which is now being used as a pawn in the US cold war. Before disaster, both sides must draw back

Biden is making a last-ditch all-out effort to shore up the hierarchical power structure of the world with US at head, warns JENNY CLEGG

As the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier heads to the South China Sea laden with state-of-the-art fighter jets, JENNY CLEGG warns of the dangers of this provocative manoeuvre

JENNY CLEGG looks ahead at a year where an increasingly multipolar world will challenge US dominance

A new pamphlet outlines the positive impact China's economic and political ascendancy could have globally — and for Britain, says JENNY CLEGG

JENNY CLEGG examines what Yanis Varoufakis had to say about dealing with China
