"I believe that the survival of our planet is closely tied to the People's Republic of China under the leadership of the Communist Party. This is why I stand firmly on China's side and continue my struggle. This is an epoch-making ideological struggle belonging to the 21st century. To fight for China is to fight for the destiny of all mankind." -- Andre Vltchek
Following in the footsteps of Andre Vltchek's most recent work in Hong Kong, Badak Merah is publishing the most comprehensive book of his essays written on the territory as part of the 'The Message for Humanity by Andre Vltchek' series. As China reaffirms its determination to implement the policy of 'one country, two systems, ' Andre Vltchek, through his words and images, dissects the anatomy of Western imperialism waged against China in and through Hong Kong, with a firm belief in the country's unity, integrity, and prosperity. As John Pilger put it in his tribute, 'the essays and writing will help readers understand the nature of imperialism and tear away its modern disguises.'
I refuse to describe Iran as a victim. It is not. It is one of the most influential and strong-minded nations on Earth. Like Russia and China in Euro Asia and in Asia, like Venezuela, Cuba and before the coup, Bolivia, Iran is spreading hope and revolutionary optimism in its entire part of the world. And it is an extremely wounded part of the world, where hope is absent, but desperately needed. - Andre Vltchek Badak Merah's 'The Message for Humanity by Andre Vltchek' series presents his collection of essays written on Iran to prove, as the title suggests, how powerful and determined Iran is as a Socialist, internationalist country, and at the same time, demonstrates through his years of collaboration with Iranian intellectuals, why the world needs Iran to combat Western imperialism.
"This book is not only about moving the Indonesian capital from the destitute sinking Jakarta to plundered and scarred Borneo. It is about moral corruption, greed and spite for both people and the environment. Groundbreaking and daring work. Proof that Indonesian elites would sacrifice anybody and anything for profit and power."
"CHINA'S BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE - Connecting Countries Saving Millions of Lives" is a compilation of essays by Andre Vltchek. China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is fundamentally reshaping the world. Africa, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia, that were previously at the mercy of Western imperialist powers, have suddenly discovered that they have alternatives and choices. Entire huge railroad pro- jects in East Africa as well as in the once devastated Laos are now connecting continents. Along the railway lines, schools are growing, and so are medical facilities, community learning centers and cultural institutions. All this because of BRI. BRI is about the well-being of the people, about the culture, health and knowledge. BRI aimes at connecting human beings of different races, life philosophies, and beliefs.
