Dec. 17, 2024 (EIRNS)—Ambassador Chas Freeman gave an interview to Berliner Zeitung published Dec. 15, one of Germany’s leading newspapers. Ambassador Freeman, who knows as much about the American relationship to China as any living diplomat, told the truth “as he sees it.” “We’ve incentivized the Chinese to improve their science and technology, to expand trade relations with the Global South; we’ve driven them into the arms of the Russians, and we’re driving them to forge alliances in the Middle East that will roll back American influence in the region.”

The divide-and-conquer imperial strategy employed by today's neocons goes back to the "Heartland" theory of British geopolitics, revived by Brzezinski.
