Episode #115: DOJ indicts China: African, Indigenous activists respond
Manage episode 346065012 series 2946613
On Monday, October 24, 2022, the United States’ “Justice Department” held a press conference to accuse China of breaking U.S. laws in its efforts to challenge U.S. power on the world stage.
They charged several Chinese nationals with spying on behalf of Beijing and seeking to disrupt a U.S. government investigation into the Chinese technology company, Huawei.
In New Jersey, the FBI charged two Chinese nationals with conspiring to act as illegal agents on behalf of China by using a “purported academic center in that country to seek sensitive information from U.S. academic institutions,” end quote, thus criminalizing working relationships between universities in the U.S. and China.
These indictments come on the heels of FBI raids targeting African and Puerto Rican organizers in the U.S., who are accused of acting as illegal foreign agents on behalf of Russia and of Cuba.
This episode presents excerpts from a Sunday, October 31st panel discussion with African and Indigenous activists, representing liberation Movements in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Haiti and the continent of Africa, responding to this current wave of aggression by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation targeting anti-colonial struggles. Hear from:
- Benjamin Prado, UnderSecretary General of Union del Barrio
- Dahoud Andre, organizer with Komokoda, the Committee to Mobilize Against Dictatorship in Haiti
- Ana Lopez with the Frente Independentista Boricua
- Luwezi Kinshasa, Secretary General of the African Socialist International
- Chairman Omali Yeshitela of the African People’s Socialist Party
