China: Xinhua’s Think Tank Launches New Book on U.S. Mind Colonization, Military & Hegemony! (23.12.2025)

Published by Xinhua Publishing House, the book is a compilation of two think tank reports, namely one titled “Colonization of the Mind — The Means, Roots, and Global Perils of U.S. Cognitive Warfare” and the other “Origins, Facts and Perils of U.S. Military Hegemony.”

The report on U.S. mind colonization reveals the fact that the United States has long eroded other countries’ sovereignty through ideological penetration, undermining fairness and justice in international perceptions. The report was first released during the Global South Media and Think Tank Forum 2025 on Sept. 7.

The report on U.S. military hegemony explores the ideological roots, tools, and practices of U.S. military hegemony, as well as the damage it has inflicted on global security and stability. The report was first released on Sept. 5, 2023, and was later revised in light of the latest developments before being included in the newly published book.

CIA-Controlled NED Bad for Freedom!

US: CIA-Controlled “Endowment for Democracy” – Undermines Sovereignty and Self-Determination! (11.8.2024)

Former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul once said that the NED wasted a lot of U.S. taxpayers’ money to support foreign politicians and parties favoured by the U.S., and provided “soft money” to fund foreign election activities, but portrayed such manipulation of elections as “promoting democracy”.

The Russian Foreign Ministry in 2015 listed the NED as an “undesirable organization” and banned its activities in Russia.

“It is unpopular and despicable for Washington to use the NED as a means of foreign interference as every country has the right to pursue a development path suited to its national realities and the needs of its people,” said Wang Congyue, an associate researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
