 Chinese regime announces “support” for Russia in war with NATO in Ukraine
==========

Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun pledged to support Russia in its war with NATO in Ukraine. Dong stated that the US is always targeting Russia and China, seeking to retain its hegemony around the globe. He also linked Beijing’s backing for Moscow in Ukraine to Moscow’s support for Beijing on Taiwan. Dong's remarks involve war between the world’s main nuclear-armed powers. Inside the ruling elites of the NATO imperialist powers, there was surprise at Dong’s statement. Dong's statement was confirmed by news outlets in America and Europe. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bureaucracy is contemplating a shift in its foreign policy. Further escalations of the global war are being prepared. China is ever more in the sights of the NATO powers. The US Treasury slapped further sanctions on 150 companies and individuals for aiding Russia. The NATO powers recently decided to spend over $100 billion on military escalation against Russia, the Middle East, and China. The decisive question is mobilizing the working class internationally in a socialist anti-war movement.
