Enhancing military cooperation with countries including those in Southeast Asia is an important aspect of China’s military diplomacy, Song Zhongping, a Chinese military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Sunday.

China’s joint drills highlight cooperation and the safeguarding of regional peace and stability, particularly when it comes to non-traditional security threats like terrorism, drug trafficking and piracy, Song said.

On the contrary, the U.S. has been rallying allies in the Asia-Pacific region like the Philippines, Japan and South Korea in holding joint military drills in the traditional security field in attempts to threaten other countries’ sovereignty, security and development interests, sabotaging regional peace and stability in a confrontational manner, Song said.

Under this situation, the joint exercises with China’s participation can counter the negative influence of the zero-sum security view and provide positive energy, experts said.

Buddhism – like Socialism – belongs to humanity! Violence in the outer world can only be ended when one dominant class stops oppressing another! Peace can only be achieved if the capitalist world (in its exploitative aspect) is vanquished and the Bourgeoisie stops resisting and oppressing Socialism! If we – as the working class – stop fighting then we abandon the field to our oppressors and encourage them to inflict an even greater injustice upon us! Genuine peace will only come when the working class siezes the mean of production! As Marx once said – peace is the state achieved when there is an absence to the process of developing Socialism! These photographs were taken at the (Japanese) Buddhist London Peace Pagoda which is situated to the North of Battersea Park!
