The Wound They Refuse to Heal: Taiwan, Empire, and the War Against Chinese Sovereignty

Reuters doesn’t just report events—it organizes reality through an imperial lens that disciplines how China is seen and understood.

The Fool Who Moved the Mountains Still Walks Among Us: China’s Long March to Socialism and the Emergence of the Multipolar World Order

From Mao’s seizure of sovereignty to Xi’s effort to discipline capital, China’s modern history is neither a fall from revolutionary purity nor a smooth ascent into capitalism, but a protracted socialist struggle through contradiction.
