Vijay Prashad: Even the Opposition Believes Venezuela’s Election Was Legitimate

Before the National Assembly elections on December 6 in Venezuela, the United States government began a campaign to delegitimize the process. The U.S. government sanctioned the head of the National Electoral Council (CNE) and members of the opposition who had decided to run in the election. Just hours after the election, both the U.S. government and the European Union—as well as their allies in Latin America—announced, predictably, that the elections had been fraudulent. They did not need evidence; they did not need anything except the reiteration of the simple line that an election in a country whose government challenges U.S. authority cannot be legitimate in any way.

The tactical tasks of adapting Russia to the new situation are directly related to the current crisis: a “turn to the East” is necessary for the transition from economic recession to growth. In this regard, the most important task is to restore and increase the volume of Russian-Asian trade. However, these tactical issues have little to do with macro trends and their solution will not ensure the long-term and successful involvement of Russia in the new Asia, writes Anastasia Likhacheva, Director of the Centre for Comprehensive European and International Studies (CCEIS) of the Higher School of Economics, who participated in the 11th Valdai Club Asian Conference.

China-US trade talks to remain in focus as Biden picks trade rep

Following weeks of speculation over US president-elect Joe Biden's stance toward China-US trade ties, with a lingering bruising trade war hanging overhead, a still-elusive but emerging image of the new US administration's approach is slowly taking shape, as Biden continues to form his trade team that will primarily handle China-related issues, with the latest move being naming a Chinese-American trade lawyer as his top trade envoy.

William Jones：Pompeo maintains scorched earth policy against China

The recent decision by the U.S. State Department to impose sanctions against 14 vice chairpersons of China's prestigious National People's Congress' Standing Committee is the latest – and most egregious – measure by the messianic Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to bring the U.S.-China relationship to the lowest level possible and restrict any attempted revival of a stable relationship in the next administration. The measure is totally unprecedented. Preventing top officials of a foreign government from visiting the United States (only a part of the sanctions) is really only something one would do with a country with which one was intent on breaking relations with, or in preparation for war.
