Marxist book club discussing the booklet: Behind the Cold War on China
Discussion Points
1. “The Chinese regime may not be very nice but that is not the reason for the anti-China push.” (p. 4) What is the reason?
2. “China’s impact on the world is contradictory.” (p. 11) What are the different elements of this impact?
3. “US-led Western imperialism dominates the world.” (p. 12) How does it impact China? How does it impact Australia?
4. How is the imperialist animosity towards China rationalised?7
5. What roles are anti-Chinese racism playing in the cold war on China? What does solidarity with the peoples of China look like?
6. Discuss the elements of a socialist policy to minimise the impacts of US imperialism in Australia and in promoting conflict with China here. Is it possible to support neither side?
