Marx without communism and propaganda
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Marx Without Communism and Propaganda The actual ideas of an economic prophet ◄►◄►▲▼ • B When people talk about Karl Marx, they immediately think about Communist Manifesto and equate Marx with communism. For his anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist stance, Marx is demonized as an enemy by default in the West ever since.

BlogviewHua Bin Archive Miracle and Bravery in the Skies Over the Middle East Bollywood on steroid ◄►◄►▲▼ • B Yidsraeli Mossad has a famous motto – “by way of deception, thou shalt do war”. The quote came from the Talmud – the Jew bible. A former Mossad operative by the name of Victor Ostrovsky wrote an expose titled “By Way of Deception”, which became a bestseller in 1990. It was an interesting read.
Deutsche Bahn and China Rail
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Deutsche Bahn and China Rail The story of infrastructure in capitalist vs. socialist systems ◄►◄►▲▼ • B A friend visited Germany recently and told a story how a delayed train caused him to miss the flight home. I was shocked since you could set your watch by the Deutsche Bahn when I was living in Germany back in 1997. I was doing an internship at Mercedes Benz in Stuttgart in those days.
"Whoever wins AI wins everything" is just stupid talking, by Hua Bin
This is not a failure of any single country: it is a systemic global cognitive bottleneck. The low-hanging fruit of foundational breakthroughs in physics, chemistry, and engineering has already been picked, and modern researchers now spend most of their careers refining existing systems rather than discovering entirely new fundamental laws that can redefine civilization.
9/11 Coincidence Theory
by Hua Bin, The Unz Review: I was at the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel on the evening of Sept 11, 2001(Beijing Time) for a dinner with a grad school professor. When we walked into the hotel bar for a drink, there was a crowd gathered around a TV screen watching a live CNN footage of a burning WTC North Tower. Then there was another explosion in the other tower with a massive fireball bursting out of the windows. I was stunned and thought it couldn’t be real.

Mirroring the Long Telegram: Structural Convergence of the USSA and the USSR
by Hua Bin, The Unz Review: In the past year, I have been reading about the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. I thought the subject relevant since we are already in a second Cold War for some years. The books include Nicolas Thompson’s The Hawk and the Dove: Paul Nitze, George Kennen, and the History of the Cold War through which I learned about Kennen and his famous The Long Telegram.

How China wins wars that the US launches
One interesting feature of the US electoral system is the proclivity to accuse the opponent of being a tool for a foreign adversary. Hillary Clinton accused Trump as a Russian stooge during the 2016 campaign. He, in turn, labelled Joe Biden “Beijing Biden” in the 2020 campaign. Neither are what they have been accused of, although they are both pawns of another foreign power whose name you are not allowed to say in US politics – except in adoration.

What now after losing the Iran war?
BlogviewHua Bin Archive What Now After Losing the Iran War? Elbridge Colby’s nuclear threats against China are beyond psychotic ◄►◄►▲▼ • B A good friend on Substack told me a Greek joke, in his comment about my essay on Nolan’s film The Odyssey. An Athenian was looking at a painting depicting a battle where Athenians were defeating and slaying Spartan warriors. The man exclaimed, “Brave, brave Athenians!” “Yes,” a Spartan standing nearby dryly interrupted him and said: “– in paintings”.
How Many Wars One Has to Lose to Stop Being Called “The Greatest Military in the World”?
by Hua Bin, The Unz Review: It makes my skin crawl whenever I hear someone recite the mantra – “the US has the greatest military in the history of the world”. I know you have heard the same “truism” before. Obviously, such “American patriots” have never heard of Genghis Khan. The Mongols conquered most of Eurasia in the 13th century and put together the largest contiguous land empire in history. They seldom lost a battle in the process.
The Odyssey and the futility of fake cultural universalism
BlogviewHua Bin Archive The Odyssey and the Futility of Fake Cultural Universalism Christopher Nolan spoiled a timeless classic with blatant tokenism ◄►◄►▲▼ • B Homer’s The Odyssey is a Western cultural treasure.

Returning home for the hillbilly
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Returning Home for the Hillbilly I went back to a different world after 30 years ◄►◄►▲▼ • B I visited my childhood home two weeks ago. It is in Zunyi, Guizhou Province in Southwest China. I lived there till age 17, when I left for college in Beijing in 1989. My parents retired in 1996 and moved back to the east coast where they came from. I haven’t been back since.
Tarjeta roja para Occidente - por Hua Bin
No soy un fanático acérrimo del fútbol. Sí sigo el Mundial. Como se juega cada cuatro años, eso hace que sea una tarea relativamente fácil. Para ser uno de los deportes más vistos a nivel mundial, la Copa del Mundo tiene su buena dosis de escándalos. Algunos dirían que "más de los que le corresponden". En 2015 se produjo el escándalo conocido como "FIFAgate", que puso al descubierto décadas de sobornos sistemáticos y blanqueo de dinero por valor de más de 150 millones de dólares.

Israel’s Lawlessness Will Be Its Undoing
Israel’s Lawlessness Will Be Its Undoing By Kevin Barrett | American Free Press | July 20, 2026 Israel has been the world’s worst international outlaw since 1948.

US doesn’t have what it takes to repel Iranian counterattacks – expert Sputnik – 20.07.2026 While the US does retain an enormous offensive capability, which allows it to conduct an intense wave of attacks against Iranian facilities, it can only weaken Iran, veteran war correspondent Elijah J.

How to Honor the Dead US Service Members
How to Honor the Dead US Service Members By Ron Paul | July 20, 2026 Over the weekend the Pentagon announced that four more US soldiers have been killed in President Trump’s war on Iran. That brings the total to 17, but many believe the real number of dead US servicemembers is much higher than that. The Pentagon has claimed it has no obligation to reveal how many military personnel have been injured, which suggests that number may be much higher than we are hearing.

The strange death of James V. Forrestal, the first US Secretary of Defense Did Israel start its serial assassination campaigns of its American opponents much earlier than we assume? By Hua Bin | July 19, 2026 I have always enjoyed reading a wide variety of books on somewhat arcane subjects. Many are triggered by references from other books, and they form a sort of chain reaction.

El “Rey Loco” de Occidente - por Hua Bin
(Imagen de CartoonForPeace @ https://www.cartooningforpeace.org/en/editos/war-in-iran-is-an-agreement-on-the-cards/) Donald Trump volvió a cambiar de opinión y a fracasar. El lunes 13 de julio anunció una tasa del 20% para todos los buques que transitaran por el estrecho de Ormuz . El martes 14 de julio retiró la orden . El mercado petrolero fluctuó durante el día y algunas personas "inteligentes" volvieron a obtener grandes ganancias con los futuros del petróleo.
The "Mad King" of the West
BlogviewHua Bin Archive The "Mad King" of the West The West should focus on surviving its own "Mad King" rather than losing sleep over China or Russia ◄►◄►▲▼ • B Donald Trump flipped and flopped again. He announced a 20% fee for all ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, 13th of July. He withdrew the order on Tuesday, 14th of July. The oil market gyrated during the day and some “smart” folks made yet another killing with the oil futures.
Red Card for the West
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Red Card for the West The rules of “rules-based order” are discarded the moment they no longer guarantee an advantage for the architects of the system ◄►◄►▲▼ • B I am not a devout football fan. I do follow the World Cup. Since it is played every 4 years, that makes doing that a somewhat easy task. For one of the most watched global sports, the World Cup has its share of scandals. Some would say “more than its fair share”.
Road trip to Xinjiang
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Road Trip to Xinjiang Seeing-is-believing beauty ◄►◄►▲▼ • B Starting mid-June, we took a three-week family road trip in Xinjiang. This is our first trip back to Northwest China since 2018 when we spent a few weeks on wheels in Gansu and Qinghai, two large provinces adjacent to Xinjiang and Tibet. In the past 8 years, the infrastructure in China’s “Wild West” has gone through an incredible transformation.
Lecciones para Irán de la Guerra de Corea - por Hua Bin
16 de junio de 2026 (08:50 h.) Ejército de Voluntarios Chinos cruzando el río Yalu Foto de Al Chang Fotografía de Douglas Duncan La guerra con Irán se encuentra en un punto muerto. Quizás se llegue a un acuerdo. Quizás no. Quizás los combates se reanuden pronto. O quizás no. Después de todo, estamos lidiando con un TACO voluble en la Casa Blanca. Que puede o no sufrir de deficiencia cognitiva y mental.
Lessons for Iran from the Korean War
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Lessons for Iran from the Korean War The “forgotten war” in the 1950s is a blueprint for Iran ◄►◄►▲▼ • B Chinese Volunteer Army crossing the Yalu River Photo by Al Chang Photo by Douglas Duncan The Iran War is in a stalemate. Maybe a “deal” will be reached. Maybe not. Maybe fighting will break out again soon. Then maybe not. After all, we are dealing with a fickle TACO in the White House. Who may or may not suffer from cognitive and mental deficiency.
The King Who Lost His Throne for A Vassal
BlogviewHua Bin Archive The King Who Lost His Throne for A Vassal Is Trump the modern King Guy? ◄►◄►▲▼ • B History works in funny ways. Sometimes, you get the feeling that you are watching a story 800-year-old unfolding in front of you – the cast is different, but the plot is the same. As the Iran war gyrates between truce and fight over the last few weeks, I read up the story of Saladin, the great Islamic king who united the Arabs and saved Islam from Christian crusaders in the twelfth century.
Another Way to Compare the World’s Two Largest Economies
For many years, Blacks and Browns have been howling for their own autonomous territory, which means racial and ethnic priority bases. Putting aside Negro wants and desires, the radical Latino segment has been demanding a “homeland” that was “stolen” from them by the imperialistic Anglos, from the early 1800s on. All of the Southwest America, including California (remember Zorro?) was ruled by Spain and later Mexico.
Is it time for Russia to escalate?
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Is It Time for Russia to Escalate? Comparing Russian refrain with Israeli and Western abandon ◄►◄►▲▼ • B In May 2026, the global geopolitical landscape has been redefined by two divergent philosophies of violence. On one hand, the Russian Federation continues its slow-motion, attritional grind in Ukraine—a conflict defined by a cautious management of Western “red lines.” President Putin runs it a “special military operation”, essentially a “limited war”.

BlogviewHua Bin Archive Edgar Cayce – Will His Prophecy on Russia and China Come True? The Sleeping Prophet had some unusual predictions about the fate of the world ◄►◄►▲▼ • B After the summit earlier this week between President Xi and President Putin in Beijing, I thought it would be interesting to visit the predictions made about Russia and China by Edgar Cayce, an American clairvoyant, nearly a century ago.
Observations from the Xi-Trump summit
Observations from the Xi-Trump Summit Much ado about nothing ◄►◄►▲▼ • B When Shakespear wrote the comedy some 420 years ago about a great deal of fuss over something unimportant or trivial, he probably never imagined the play title is an apt description of last week’s China-US summit. Apart from the pomp and circumstance with the grand reception, state dinner, and photo op at the Temple of Heaven, precious little seems to come out of the meeting.
¿Qué cabe esperar de la reunión entre Xi y Trump? - por Hua Bin
Trump no tiene cartas que jugar en Pekín…El farsante volverá a casa con las manos vacías… Pekín sabe que no debe confiar ni en Trump ni en Washington. Tras su más reciente “éxito” en la guerra contra Irán, Trump está visitando al presidente Xi del 13 al 15 de mayo. TRUMP XI Resulta interesante prever quién tiene qué «cartas» antes de las reuniones y especular sobre cuáles son las «peticiones» de cada parte.
What to Expect from the Xi-Trump Meeting?
by Hua Bin, The Unz Review: Riding on the back of his most recent “success” in the Iran War, Trump is scheduled to visit President Xi on May 13 to 15. It is interesting to preview who has what “cards” ahead of the meetings and speculate what the “asks” are from each side. This way, we can have a clear-eyed view who has the leverage, who needs the other more, and what will come out of the summit. Since Trump’s second term, he has started or continued a range of confrontations aimed at China.
What to expect from the Xi-Trump meeting?
The Kirin 9030 Pro chip is reported as “5nm-grade” — that “-grade” suffix is doing a lot of work. SMIC, China’s leading foundry, is producing chips using DUV (i.e., deep ultraviolet) lithography that approximate 5nm performance through multiple patterning techniques, but at substantially lower yields and higher costs than true 5nm produced on EUV (i.e., extreme ultraviolet) machines, which ASML is barred from selling to China.
From the "world’s factory" to its "R&D center", by Hua Bin
The Chinese had nothing to do with discovering that there was only one type of electricity. Thank you Benjamin franklin, an American and Founding Father (1706-1790). Franklin also invented the terms positive-negative charge, battery and conductor. The Chinese had nothing to do with inventing the galvanometer which is named after Luigi Galvani, an Italian (1737-1798). The Chinese had nothing to do with discovering EMF-electro-motive force or voltage.
The US War Machine Underwhelms – part 2
BlogviewHua Bin Archive The US War Machine Underwhelms – Part 2 American military cannot keep up with Iran’s counter attacks or China’s technological leapfrog and cost advantages ◄►◄►▲▼ • B A word of caution: Substack alerted me the article is too long for email (over 7,000 words). I guess I got a bit technical and overzealous with details. So, if it is truncated in your email, readers can read it on Substack website or app, if it intrigues you. Thanks.
The US War Machine Underwhelms – part 1
BlogviewHua Bin Archive The US War Machine Underwhelms – Part 1 High-cost low-density weapon systems with outdated technology and low magazine depth fail to deliver ◄►◄►▲▼ • B In my mid-March essay Iran Has Already Won, I discussed the strategic failure suffered by the US barely a month into the war. The simple fact the US war goal has changed from “regime change” to “keep the Strait of Hormuz open” already points to the strategic defeat of the US, since the strait was open to all before the war.
What history teaches us about the Iran war?
BlogviewHua Bin Archive What History Teaches Us About the Iran War? The outcome of the war is easily foreseen from the lessons of the past ◄►◄►▲▼ • B After my last essay in mid-March where I posited the view Iran has already won, I went on a family trip and didn’t spend much time following the day-to-day events in the Persian Gulf. It seems there has been a stream of unhinged rhetorics from Trump, the Mafioso thug with a spray tan.
Iran has already won
BlogviewHua Bin Archive Iran Has Already Won As long as Iran keeps control of Hormuz, the US Empire’s Last War will go from “shock and awe” to “shocking and awful” ◄►◄►▲▼ • B It is a spectacle to witness the complete mental meltdown of the “leader” of the “free world” and the world’s “sole” superpower. Barely three weeks after his breathless claim of victory, Trump has gone total bananas beyond his usual incoherent self.

What are the Chinese saying about the war?
Sources: Rebellion https://rebelion.org/por-que-usa-va-a-perder-la-guerra-de-iran-y-va-a-entrar-en-un-profundo-declive/ Thirty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world order born of Western triumph is beginning to show deep cracks. The war against Iran could become the episode that accelerates an already visible decline in American power.
