Defending Socialist China

On Sunday 26 January, 2025 the Friends of Socialist China US commmittee held a hybrid public meeting (live in Portland and online via Zoom) on the theme of defending Socialist China.

The Webinar’s speakers included Carlos Martinez, Keith Bennett, a founder of Friends of Socialist China, who spoke on the importance of the Mao era as a foundation for everything that has followed in the PRC and journalist and geopolitical analyst Danny Haiphong, who spoke on the impact of the nascent second Trump presidency and China’s current social and economic policy. Sanyika Maloney from the All-African People's Revolutionary Party dispelled the lie that China is colonizing Africa and Mick Kelly from Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) told of China’s thriving economy and U.S. foreign policy in response.

Sara Flounders of the International Action Center, explained the sharp difference in which class – the capitalists or the workers – controls the state and in whose interests. Journalist and peace activist KJ Noh argued for the PRC’s socialist structure and recent progress on various domestic issues; and Arjae Red of Workers World Party refuted in detail the falsehoods of Western propaganda about Xinjiang. The 2-hour event had time for a short Q&A session and closing remarks from each presenter. The program was co-chaired by Holly Brown of FRSO and Arjae Red.
