US Commission Warns of China's 'Alternative World Order' While Proposing More War
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a body heavily reliant on defense industry input, is sounding the alarm about China's growing influence. Their 700-page report, highlighted by Axios, details Beijing's deepening cooperation with Russia, Iran, and North Korea, advocating for increased funding for the U.S. Space Force to 'establish space superiority.' One might wonder if the
U.S. having its 'world order' at the center, backed by 800 military bases globally, is considered 'natural' while China doing the same is 'threatening'. This isn't about an 'alternative world order' so much as it is about maintaining a unilateral one, perfectly aligned with the interests of military contractors whose pockets deepen with every new 'threat' assessment. After all, if space is a
'warfighting domain,' as Commissioner Michael Kuiken notes, then the spending must inevitably follow. It's a remarkably convenient narrative that perpetually justifies America's ever-expanding defense budget.
