Kyle Ferrana addressed some of the myths about China propagated in the Western press, particularly regarding the use of coal-fired power plants. Chinese coal plants now set the world record for efficiency, and the newer, cleaner state-owned coal capacity is being built to replace older, less efficient plants. State-of-the-art Chinese coal technology burns hotter and produces more power with less pollution than Western coal plants. Ferrana recently visited China and testified that the skies over the largest Chinese cities are quite clear.

Ferrana spoke about China’s efforts in reforestation and aquaculture: “China has doubled the amount of forest cover since 1980. . . . More trees are planted [in China] each year than in the rest of the world combined.” He said that Chinese wild ocean fishing peaked in 2015 and is now in decline. In the last few decades, aquaculture production has doubled and now dominates over 50% of the entire global market...

The U.S. military launched attacks on Iran over Memorial Day weekend that once again can turn West Asia into a massive battlefield that disrupts the world’s economy and threatens world war. The Pentagon already lost the initial round of the aggression the U.S. and Israel started on Feb. 28.

That first round exposed the viciousness of the imperialist ruling class and its pit bull cronies in Tel Aviv and revealed the weaknesses of the U.S. Armed Forces in West Asia. Yet they’re doing it again. And the war has already cost the U.S. at least $50 billion, according to CBS News on April 30.

Iranian negotiators were traveling to Doha, Qatar, to take part in talks to turn the April 8 ceasefire into a more permanent agreement. According to Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, speaking for the U.S. Central Command, the U.S. military hit what he called missile sites in southern Iran. He claimed the object of the strikes was to protect U.S. troops.

Workers World has two quick reactions to this military aggression that we would like to share with all people who want to end the war: One, the U.S. and Israel are the aggressors and, two, the Islamic Republic of Iran has the right to take whatever steps it considers necessary to protect its government and its people.

The Pentagon spokespeople, the MAGA regime in Washington and the media that always defend imperialist interests can’t be trusted to say one word of truth.

If the U.S. Central Command really wanted to protect U.S. troops from harm, it would remove them from West Asia, along with the warships, planes, drones and missiles that have murdered so many people in the region.
