This portrayal has only intensified as China's relationship with the United States has grown increasingly hostile. Whether in the form of overtly racist rhetoric and aggressive trade actions, or the more buttoned down but equally antagonistic efforts to oppose Chinese interests abroad, the US has made clear that it has no interest in giving up its position as global hegemon. This seemingly endless cycle of nationalism, jingoism, and reactionary politics on both sides of the Pacific suggests a downward spiral that could plausibly result in catastrophic military confrontation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eAgainst Imperialism\u003c\/em\u003e forcefully makes the case that workers and socially marginalized people in \u003cem\u003eboth\u003c\/em\u003e the US and China must oppose our rulers' claims that they have our best interests in mind as they ratchet up their rivalry.
