The United States has been quite vocal about its “pivot to Asia,” but as Washington seeks to further its influence in the Asia-Pacific, China has been quietly upping its own importance to Central and Latin America. Now China is making a push to further its engagement with countries in the Western Hemisphere, as evidenced by the announcement of a new dialogue mechanism. The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), which met in Cuba from January 28 to 29, adopted a statement announcing the establishment of a China-CELAC Forum.

2014, resumption of the of the global systemic crisis’ « normal » path

The avalanche of liquidity from the Fed’s quantitative easing in 2013, allowed the world before’s tenets to wake up: indebtedness, bubbles, globalization, financialization… But all it took was a slight slowing down in the astronomical amounts injected by the US central bank every month for the rampant crisis, buried under these piles of liquidity, to reassert itself. As anticipated, the method of “resolving” the crisis by accentuating the excesses that caused it is ineffective, causing a crisis squared instead. All the same one can find an actual benefit: time is gained which everyone uses to their best advantage.

Anti-Syria position at UN weakens
Posted by seumasach on May 16, 2013
All five BRICS, Brazil,Russia,India,China and South Africa voted against or abstained, reflecting the inexorable shift in global power away from the West. The commentaries of Amnesty International represent an a priori position and can be discounted. This resolution is as the Russians pointed out destructive but not nearly as destructive as the remaining wreckers would have wished. By the way, the “regime” in Syria certainly doesn’t appear to be “tottering”
