The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the 14th Dalai Lama, marked his 90th birthday earlier this month with an announcement that his successor as Tibetan Buddhism’s most senior religious figure would be a reincarnation, to be identified after his death by the staff of his office in Dharamsala in northern India — where he has lived since fleeing Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule. The announcement is likely to set up a clash with Beijing, which says it alone has the right to confirm the selection of the next Dalai Lama, and points to its possession of historical relics, including a golden urn from the Qing dynasty traditionally used to select the reincarnations of senior lamas. So how will Tibetans inside and outside China respond if two different Dalai Lamas are nominated? Could the exiled community abandon the current Dalai Lama’s emphasis on seeking only autonomy for Tibet under Chinese rule? And how will this affect India, which has offered shelter to the Tibetan exiled administration, but has recently been seeking to improve its relations with Beijing? Tsering Shakya, professor of Tibetan history at the University of British Columbia, and Robbie Barnett, professorial research associate at SOAS and former professor of contemporary Tibetan studies at Columbia University, join us to share their thoughts.

Ep194: After the Dalai Lama — China, India and the Tibetan Succession

O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva conversou por telefone com o líder chinês Xi Jinping nesta segunda-feira, em meio à tensão provocada pelas novas tarifas impostas pelos Estados Unidos sobre produtos brasileiros. A ligação, confirmada pelo Palácio do Planalto e solicitada por Lula, durou cerca de uma hora e abordou temas como as relações bilaterais e o cenário geopolítico global. Em nota, o governo brasileiro informou que ambos os países concordaram sobre o papel do G20 e do BRICS na defesa do multilateralismo.

A mídia estatal chinesa destacou que Xi Jinping afirmou que Brasil e China podem dar um exemplo de autossuficiência e que todos os países devem se unir contra o unilateralismo e o protecionismo. O Planalto já havia classificado o aumento das tarifas americanas como uma ação unilateral, alinhando-se à postura chinesa. A China é o maior parceiro comercial do Brasil, com exportações brasileiras para o país asiático chegando a US$ 57,6 bilhões entre janeiro e julho, segundo o Ministério da Indústria, Comércio Exterior e Serviços (MDIC).

Brasil e China juntas contra o tarifaço dos EUA?

Los Titulares de Hoy - 3 de septiembre de 2025

This month’s huge parade in Beijing for the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Asia prompted much debate — both about the array of new missiles, drones and other military technology on display, and about the presence of not only Vladimir Putin, but also the North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un. But while Beijing is happy to demonstrate its newfound military confidence, the parade is also a reminder of the increased attention China has been paying to its own role in World War II, with a growing number of museums and exhibits dedicated not only to its fight against Japan, but also — despite current tensions — to wartime military cooperation between China and the US, in the form of the Flying Tigers and the Doolittle Raiders. Melinda Liu, veteran Beijing bureau chief of Newsweek, and Vice-President of the Royal Asiatic Society in Beijing, discusses the contemporary resonances of these wartime echoes, as well her family connection to a period of history which is becoming an increasingly important aspect of the image China presents to the world.

Ep195: China, the US and WWII — Wartime memories and contemporary resonances

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/history/remembering-china-role-global-antifascist-war-ww2/
China’s enormous sacrifices during WW2 and its epic contribution to the defeat of fascism is routinely overlooked, as is the wider significance of the war in the east. The Chinese people’s titanic struggle against Japanese imperialism played a vital part in the antifascist victory in WW2. Led by the communists, including revolutionary forces from Korea, this struggle also laid the groundwork for the victory of the Chinese Revolution in 1949, and for a string of other democratic and socialist revolutions that took place in east Asia in the following period.

Remembering China’s role in the global antifascist war

https://thecommunists.org/2025/07/01/news/china-progress-saving-planet-climate-change/
Despite countless international consortiums aimed at addressing the issue over the decades, capitalist nations have proved unable to handle climate change. China’s economic system is structured in such a way that political and economic priorities are determined not by capital’s drive for constant expansion but by the needs and aspirations of the people.

Chinas progress shows socialism is the only way to save the planet

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/30/news/grand-military-parade-china-celebrates-victory-ww2-fascism/ 


Grand military parade as China celebrates victory in the antifascist war accompanied by a remarkable show of strength and unity by the anti-imperialist and socialist nations. At these impressive victory day commemorations, it was not only China’s military capabilities that were on display, but also its economic, political and military alliances – in particular, the ever-deepening ties between Xi Jinping’s China, Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Kim Jong Un’s DPRK.

Grand military parade as China celebrates victory in the antifascist war

No hay certeza jurídica sobre quién se puso más fuera de sus cabales, si Donald Trumpas al amenazar con acabar al mundo mundial, o Alititito Moreno injertado en basilisco porque todos los partidos lo pelusean



Jairo Calixto. Entre Trump y 'Alito' Moreno

China and the US reached a truce in their trade war at the recent meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in South Korea. And the two leaders even pledged to visit each other’s countries next year. But US tariffs on Chinese imports remain at around 47% — and a dispute over the export of US semiconductor chips to China looks set to continue. These tensions seem to have informed the Communist Party’s newly released proposals for China’s next Five Year Plan, which focus on innovation and making China technologically self-sufficient. But will this approach, along with promises to boost the private economy, help to tackle unemployment and sluggish domestic consumer spending? Minxin Pei, professor of government at Claremont McKenna College in California, and editor of the website China Leadership Monitor, discusses the prospects for Sino-US relations and the challenges facing China’s leaders.
