Jeffrey Sachs takes aim at the crazy.

The current campaign against China goes far beyond Wilsonian liberal interventionism, neoconservatism (neo-Trotskyism) spreading freedom and democracy, and embarks on quasi-religious fanaticism based on nuttiness. 

Why? Because China has refused to be a colony that supplies the core with its manpower and natural resources and a vassal that accepts neo-imperial diktat.

Jeffrey D. Sachs | Professor of Sustainable Development and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University, Director of Columbia’s Center for Sustainable Development and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and formerly Special Adviser to three UN Secretaries-General.
