The New Cold War: Who Benefits, Who Pays & What Is Needed to Stop It
Channel: Communist Party of Canada
Date: 2021-04-25

ORGANIZED BY THE CANADIAN PEACE CONGRESS & COMMUNIST PARTY OF CANADA

As the title suggests, the discussion will focus on the escalating ‘Cold War’ against China and the Russian Federation being engineered by the U.S. and its imperialist allies, including Canada. 

Panelists will address the specific role of the Canadian government and ruling circles in this imperialist offensive, in particular highlighting the Meng Wanzhou case, the recent resolution adopted by the Canadian parliament accusing China of “genocide” in Xinjiang, the imposition of new sanctions against both China and the Russian Federation and others.

We also want to set these developments in the global context of imperialist ambitions, and of course the growing danger of war.
