Russia is deploying warships at its base in Syria. The battle group includes aircraft carrying missile cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov. The deployment is being projected as pre-planned and having no relation to the current tensions in Syria, but it follows the US move to station the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group with support vessels off Syria. Speculation is mounting about a western ‘humanitarian intervention’ in Syria.

Lies and truths about Syria

Thierry Meyssan

28th November, 2011

For eight months, Western leaders and some public media have been agitating for a war in Syria. The extremely serious accusations leveled against Assad intimidate those who question the justification for a new military intervention. But not everyone, because – on the initiative of Voltaire Network - some came to Syria to investigate for themselves and were able to measure the extent of NATO’s propaganda. Thierry Meyssan reports on the state of the media war.

Europe needs to open up further to Chinese investment to solve debt crisis

29th November, 2011

 

Europe needs to open up further to Chinese investment which would substantially help solve the eurozone debt crisis, a senior researcher from China’s top economic planning authorities said here Tuesday.

“On helping solve the eurozone debt crisis, a channel that China prefers is for Europe to let in more investment of Chinese companies,” said Wang Yiming, vice president of the Academy of Macroeconomic Research, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

“Further opening up to investment from Chinese companies would help stimulate the European economy, create jobs there and boost the capabilities of eurozone countries to pay their debt,” Wang said at a forum on Europe-China relations.

“What European countries really need is the capacity to form blood, rather than blood itself. So it is high time to ask whether European countries can be more open to investment from Chinese firms,” the researcher said.
