The Second Cold War, or New Cold War, is a term used to describe conflicts and international tension that are reminiscent of the Cold War, particularly those seen between NATO and the People's Republic of China and Russian Federation, along with their respective allies.[1][2]

The diplomatic and economic confrontations between the Western and Sino-Russian blocs, especially after the 2022 Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine began, have resulted in numerous commercial embargos, travel restrictions, and even discriminatory violence against people of Asian ethnicity abroad, which has been further encouraged by the reactionary bourgeois media.[3][4][5][6]

Western-aligned bloc

North Atlantic Treaty Organization

See main article: North Atlantic Treaty Organization

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a United States of America-led imperialist military alliance that has been used as a weapon against socialism.[7] NATO has been used as a weapon of war, resulting in the deaths of many millions.[8] NATO has continued to fund Ukraine and its various neo-Nazi organizations in their war against Russia.[9]

Puppet governments

State of Japan

See main article: Japan

The State of Japan is a major puppet of the Western imperial core. While it was an enemy to the West in the past, Japan was turned into a weapon against socialism by the United States following the end of the Second World War.[10]

Republic of Korea

The Republic of Korea, also known as "South Korea", is a major American puppet state.[11] It is largely occupied by the United States and has been responsible for a US-sponsored genocide.[12]
