https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/2630d6bd-fc42-4732-a289-fd6ed8c89f1a Brian Becker and Dr. Ken Hammond discuss U.S. aggression against China, which often uses Taiwan as a pretext. But next month is the 50th anniversary of the Shanghai Communiqué – a document the U.S. and China jointly signed, after Nixon visited the country, which recognized that Taiwan is in fact part of China. Brian is joined by Dr. Ken Hammond, professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University, founding director of the Confucius Institute at New Mexico State University, and activist with Pivot to Peace. —— This show comes out weekly on BreakThrough News’ Youtube, Wednesdays at 7pm ET.
