Article: Is China a Threat (February 2008 in Foreign Policy in Focus - fpif.Org)

Rosemont is distinguished professor emeritus at St. Mary's College of
Maryland and visiting professor of religious studies at Brown University.
His books include "A Chinese Mirror: Moral Reflections on Political
Economy" and translations of Chinese classics. Rosemont said today: "If
President Obama bases U.S. relations with China on principles of
competition and criticism, the new regime of Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang will
almost surely respond in kind, and the governments of both countries will
become less capable of dealing with their own internal large-scale
problems.

    "Moving to a policy based on cooperation on the other hand -
diplomatically, militarily and economically -- both countries can
contribute to solving their own and each other's problems at the same time,
as well as problems more worldwide in scope. As the major power in the
relationship, the initiative for a new policy must lie with the U.S.,
especially with all the anti-China rhetoric that infected the recent
election campaign." Rosemont wrote the piece "Is China a Threat?"

Muller focuses on disaster management and response and providing humanitarian aid in the Middle East and Haiti. He was in Gaza in the summer of 2012 and is returning in the coming weeks to coordinate humanitarian aid with the Middle East Children's Alliance. He is a war abolitionist.

 

He said today: "It's been reported Israeli air attacks knocked out five electricity transformers, cutting off power to more than 400,000 people. These same people have been living under siege and were only receiving four hours a day of electricity since Israel bombed the electrical infrastructure during Operation Cast Lead. Civil engineers in Gaza tell me that with nonstop attacks it's very difficult to estimate the damages, and they can only respond to emergencies in coordination with The Red Cross to close major leakages of broken pipes and to replace transformers -- hundreds of distribution lines were broken (water, sewage, electricity), as well as water wells, transformers and roads.

 

"This is collective punishment. These air strikes are directly targeting the civilian population and are war crimes. The United States is culpable for this through its blind support for Israel and its annual $3 billion in aid. The Jerusalem Post recently reported the Israeli army's chief of staff stating that in the past three years, 'U.S. taxpayers have contributed more to the Israeli defense budget than Israeli taxpayers.' This is America's war against children as much as it is Israel's."

'The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live and fear breeds repression. Too often sinister threats to the Bill of Rights, to freedom of the mind, are concealed under the cloak of anti-Communism.' Today, it's the cloak of anti-Terr
