Black Agenda Report At the Belt and Road Journalism Forum in China
The 2025 Belt and Road Journalists Forum in China was an opportunity for Black Agenda Report to join an international group of journalists working to promote meaningful dialogue on world issues.
The invitation extended to Black Agenda Report to participate in the 2025 Belt and Road Journalists Forum , held in the cities of Nanchang, Jingdezhen, and Ganzhou in Jiangxi province China, was a testament to our 19 year history of providing “news, commentary, and analysis from a Black left perspective.“ Our work is appreciated nationally and internationally, and this columnist attended the Forum along with 100 media representatives from around the world. The Forum is a venue for journalists from Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) nations, but Black Agenda Report was also included, the only outlet participating from the United States.
While the corporate media inundate the public with tall tales of spy balloons and claims that China is making nefarious purchases of U.S. farmland, that nation forges ahead in spite of futile U.S. efforts to diminish its economic prowess. Donald Trump's ever changing tariff policies resulted in China imposing tariffs of its own and buying soy beans from Brazil and beef from Australia when those commodities had long been a part of agricultural trade between the two countries. Joe Biden's attempt to stop China’s access to computer chip production resulted in new innovations like DeepSeek, which created a model for Artificial Intelligence that surpassed ChatGPT at a fraction of the cost.
With a couple of aspects highlighted above that correlate to my previous statements. The ignorance of the US citizenship in regards to China, due to our medias purposeful mis/disinformation campaign to benefit their owners, it only provides another avenue where many of us miss the decades of advancements our country has missed with a falsely manufactured enemy. Another example of why we can't trust our representation, and should be fuming in anger for the waste of treasury on unwarranted manufactured wars, one after another continuously. As China partners on a global scale leaving us behind.
BAR, the only US outlet to go to this forum? Because our medias wouldn't be allowed to expose the advantages China has over us. You have to use alternative medias to discover the real China. Where you would learn how deep the mis/disinformation about China is. I see their DC broadcast conducted by Americas nightly. I see Americans in their national news nightly. American's from American corporations. Groups, think tanks, delivering a completely different reality than our medias falsely project onto our society. Individuals who dive into their culture and historic senses. The innovative ways they mix their history to changing times. The mixture of regions full of the ancient times, and regions that appear to be so advanced that the future seems to already be there. They're living in the future today while we wallow in the depths of stagnation.
I can't tress how much importance there has been for me within observing other news platforms which have enlighten my abilities to discover how we are so deeply deceived by western governments and medias over the past 10 years. China's, Russia's, Latin America's. teleSur for Latin America. China's CGTN, where you do actually see the difference, is the largest provider of worldwide coverage I know. RT International covers all of Europe and Africa. Both China and RT with the best documentaries I've ever seen with no biasness to be seen. Where truth can only be seen in their support of factuality. If you want to really know what's going on on a global scale, these 3 news networks are where to learn it from. Where you get to use them to conform a real perception. Not one of brainwashed indoctrinations where the truth comes weeks, months, years later. Worse even, dying not knowing the truth. We have current events happening right now today that many are still wallowing in fake news and they can't be lead to the truth. Some of that bullshit has been going of for several years as some are still swimming in the shit.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Similar to Portland, OR BLM coverage, recent LA ICE/military occupation unless you know someone living in the immediate area you have American media to give you the "facts".
I know people in Portland and LA so I knew right away the media coverage was BS, but try telling that to people hooked on American TV 'news'.
I know 2 people who have lived in China - one white, one Black, males, misogynist, anti-government, love guns and somewhat paranoid, they were basically interested in finding a nice, good looking looking subservient woman/wife. Not entirely unbiased. One did find a very nice, well educated, English as a second language, smart Chinese woman. Married her and brought her to American. He treated her like he has treated all his girl friends - BADLY.
Her opinion of China painted something in between your piece and American media.
The Black American probably ended up in a Chinese jail, no ones heard from him in many years.
I would not trust American media as far as I can spit, I guess it depends on how one can go about their day to day life, under the radar usually and right now many Americans thought they were under the radar of a government that wants a white only land of the free and the brave.

@silverotter11 I have a friend who is living and working in China, she's Hispanic and is teaching English to children that are in grade school. She's been doing this for years and was there during covid, she would post videos of her neighborhood and how they had to wear masks. There were not very many people out in the streets and she showed how bare the grocery stores were. She explained that in China you buy your groceries daily and the only protein that she was able to purchase was a whole dead duck. She said that you normally find ducks and chickens like that in the grocery stores but she said some have bent to the western ways and you could find chickens and ducks without the necks , heads and feathers. They also had a curfew during their lockdown, not much different than ours, but there's happened at the beginning of 2020 ours happened roughly 3 - 4 months after.
@michelle666gar I love duck! It does depend on what it has been fed, just like any animal raised for consumption. Asian countries do not have a problem with wearing a mask, before COVID winter flu season usually had people wearing masks when out and about, something to do with understanding germ theory I think - LOL.
I wonder how much the culture has an effect, the populace has always had a dominate leader, as has Russia. The people were never raised with the idea of a democracy, America has failed because it either did not teach the idea or as in the case of the south rewrote the issue of slavery, promoting white culture and 'their' Blacks 'knew' their place.
The patriarchal nature of Catholicism may explain why so many Latinos voted for trump and American Catholics for that matter.
With COVID Americans only went kicking and screaming to wearing a mask because stores made it manditory in order to enter. It did make it easy to identify the MAGA! LOL
Taiwan was the same, at the first hint of trouble in China and not getting any info from China and not trusting China at all Taiwan started their lock down and masking mandates right away.
The mortality numbers show the deaths in red states/counties were higher than the blue states/counties. I suspect we will that occur again when people are kicked off Medicaid and insurance.
@silverotter11 The stupid magats believed the twatwaffle up to their deaths from covid! So stupid! 
@silverotter11 It seems like he was put back in office for a purpose and of course to help the wealthy get wealthier and to screw the rest of us!
@michelle666gar Oh! I know MAGATs around here who still do. In the 2026 mid terms they will vote GOP and then the cuts will really hit. That is the side of the GOP/trump that is truly evil, a lot of the cuts don't really kick in until after the 2026 mid terms. Just like they were warned in the 2024 election. The media sources never told them the facts, all the media had to do was convince them a smart Black woman was a laughing silly woman and they were all in for trump.
@silverotter11 I think all politicians are puppets for the elite and we are given a show and divided so we fight each other not them, but that's my take on the whole thing! I still despise the twatwaffle!!!
@michelle666gar That is the model that has been in use since the Kennedy Nixon debate on TV. It really brought home how huge and image you can create via TV. People beleive ANYTHING! The more outragous the better. Fucking idiots!!
