Is China An Imperialist Country? - Considerations and Evidence

The changing shape and power relations of the crisis-ridden world imperialist system, and the emergence of heightened contradictions which foreshadow major qualitative leaps in its inter-imperialist relations and its vulnerability to new mass revolutionary challenges, is explored in this new study.  Focused principally on the growing and contentious role played by China in the world system, this new study,  “Is China an Imperialist Country? – Considerations and Evidence”, was produced by  NB Turner and an independent research and writing group.  Originally published by Red-Path.net (an internationalist website devoted to study and debate of critical issues facing the international communist movement), it has been submitted to MLMRSG, which has now adopted it as it expresses our views as well.  We encourage its study and broad distribution.

In keeping with the importance of supporting the people's revolution in Nepal, we have been following the rapidly changing developments after the attempted sacking of General Katawal, Chief of Staff of the reactionary Nepalese Army, by the Maoist-led government.  We have also been looking more closely at the statements by party leaders following the National Conference of the Unified CPN (Maoist) held in November 2008.  Finally we have developed our views on the particular circumstances posed by the revolution in Nepal. We have decided to make some further comments that clarify, correct and elaborate upon our paper of April 4, 2009.

Revolution and State Power in Nepal

The central question in Nepal today is state power and the means by which it can be conquered and wielded in the service of the overwhelming majority of the people of Nepal.  Does the present unstable Maoist-led coalition government represent the beginnings of a process leading to socialism, and a beacon and valuable resource for the worldwide struggle against capitalism and imperialism?  Or is a disorienting political strategy being implemented that is unprepared for the next challenge and is blocking further advance of the revolutionary process?  (April 2009, 6 pp.)
