Call it whataboutism, state propaganda, Chinese hypocrisy, or whatever. But the latest report by the state-controlled China Society for Human Rights Studies blaming the United States for causing the most humanitarian disasters with its aggressive wars and military interventions over many decades makes for compelling reading.
It reads like an updated version of the political work of Noam Chomsky, the world-famous linguist who is best-known for his critique of US foreign policy and its disastrous consequences around the world.

A Systemic Global Crisis Only Has a Systemic Global Solution: New Paradigm, or War?
April 9 , 2021 (EIRNS) It is quite possible that the terrible complex of crises which now stare humanity squarely in the face the dramatically escalating flashpoint of war in Ukraine, the race to vaccinate billions of people against COVID-19, the terrible famine threatening to kill millions of people in the immediate months, the growing risk of blowout of the financial system will mark the onset of a new, deep dark age.

BEIJING China accused the U.S. of causing humanitarian disasters through foreign military interventions in a report Friday that was the latest broadside by Beijing amid increasingly contentious relations with the Biden administration.
The report from the government-backed China Society for Human Rights Studies said foreign wars launched “under the banner of ‘humanitarian intervention’” have caused “mass casualties, damage to facilities, production stagnation, refugee waves, social unrest, ecological crisis, psychological traumas and other complex social problems,” according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
