China: Xinhua Think-Tank Report Exposes Perils of US Ideological Colonization! (8.9.2025)

Moreover, the United States employs mind colonization to steer nations onto development paths unsuited to their conditions by aggressively exporting its economic models, such as the so-called neoliberal Washington Consensus. The result has been frequent economic stagnation and social hardship.

In recent years, the countries of the Global South have increasingly resisted U.S. ideological control and pursued independent development based on their own national conditions and cultural confidence.

As an important member of the Global South, China has put forward a series of proposals, including the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative, based on its own development experience and the common aspirations of the people around the world.

These initiatives provide new ideas and solutions for countries to bust the myths of value, free themselves from dependence of the mind, and embark on a path of independent and autonomous development.

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.
