The world truly is at a Crossroad, which will be the subject of this weekend's online Schiller Institute conference. While the U.S. is downplaying the prospects for an ongoing dialogue between the U.S. and China even before the meeting of foreign policy officials opens today, that the meeting is taking place provides an opening for future dialogue. Put aside for a moment the threats and bluster about military confrontation -- who benefits from war -- The same Military Industrial Complex that is behind the Great Reset and the genocidal Green New Deal, and that is engaging in provocative actions in the Indo-Pacific region. For the Schiller Institute, "Development is the new name for Peace," and China's Belt-and-Road Initiative offers the hope of a better life to hundreds of millions, especially if it proceeds with cooperation from the U.S. Join us this weekend to map out how we can make this happen.
