					<description><![CDATA[France 24 frames the Beijing summit as a poker match between rival strongmen, masking the deeper structures of imperial crisis, technological warfare, and geopolitical coercion beneath the spectacle. Beneath the summit theater lies a dense architecture of sanctions, military encirclement, semiconductor conflict, rare earth dependency, and unresolved sovereignty struggles stretching from Taiwan to the Strait of Hormuz. The real story is not simply China’s growing leverage, but the unraveling stability of a unipolar system increasingly unable to reproduce its dominance over global production, energy circulation, and technological infrastructure. Across the world, emerging anti-imperialist movements and multipolar solidarity networks are beginning to resist the New Cold War and challenge the casino logic of empire itself.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This investigation excavates how Associated Press reporting frames U.S.-Israeli coercion as diplomacy while presenting Iranian sovereignty as instability and defiance. It reconstructs the omitted legal, geopolitical, and economic terrain surrounding the war, exposing the contradiction between the UN Charter system and the operational reality of imperial power. It reframes the conflict as part of a broader struggle over sovereignty, technological development, sanctions warfare, and the declining legitimacy of U.S. global domination. Finally, it advances a program of anti-imperialist organization and international solidarity aimed at resisting war, blockade, sanctions, and the normalization of permanent coercion against nations of the Global South.]]></description>
