The Coming War on China

Venue: Bulmba-ja

In John Pilger’s 60th film for ITV, The Coming War on China sheds light on an issue missed by mainstream media.


Two nuclear armed nations, the US and the world’s second biggest economic power, China, are on the road to war.


”It’s dramatic stuff. But is he perhaps over-emphasising the American risk and downplaying the significance of the Chinese build-up in order to make his point?' Karl Quinn – The Sydney Morning Herald.

No, Pilger insists. “The point I make in the film is that one-sided news suppresses the degree of danger we face,” he says. “The fact that China itself is surrounded by US bases, with American ships, missiles and bombers on its doorstep, has been virtually ignored. Once you fill in the whole picture, the pattern is clear. With every American move in the region, China reacts.”
