font-family: inherit;"><p style="margin: 1em 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">We have witnessed a profoundly disturbing reorientation of US military and foreign policy that identifies China as a competitor and adversary. The new military doctrine of the Pentagon has prioritized preparation for “major power conflict” in the coming years. This dangerous reorientation has impacted consciousness in the United States on many levels such that a palpable feeling of fear, animosity and even hatred has been generated not only toward the People’s Republic of China but toward Chinese people in general, Chinese-American citizens and other Asian peoples in the United States.</p><p style="margin: 1em 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">The so-called Pivot to Asia, which was announced in 2011, has developed into a pivot toward war and confrontation.</p><p style="margin: 1em 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">We have created the Pivot to Peace to insist that the government and mass media turn away from the anti-China Cold War. This new Cold War has taken on a life of its own. It needs to end.</p><p style="margin: 1em 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">We have launched a new effort called Pivot to Peace to educate and mobilize public opinion about the benefits of a policy that facilitates cooperation and mutual respect between the United States and China.</p><p style="margin: 1em 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">Pivot to Peace is a coalition of Americans, ranging from military veterans, public sector workers, professors, healthcare professionals, public officials, legal professionals and others who are concerned about the future of relations between our country and China. We reject the escalation towards global conflict and instead urge peace and cooperation with China. We believe in the fair and open communication of information about China, its economic, social, and political affairs, free of the biases and distortions which dominate much of mainstream media in the United States. We support the frank exchange of views based on facts and evidence, rather than fear mongering and the revival of old racist stereotypes and Cold War political bugbears. We want to build support for peace and prosperity and a shared future of mutually beneficial development for both the American and Chinese people. We believe that friendship and engagement between our countries is the better path towards that future.</p><p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">Add your voice to the Pivot to Peace: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.peacepivot.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR242rBGCaf4_zJd6_RnSukmLAtah0cnMv75Nx0cP-262ZTkLqD9U1__ZBI&h=AT163x6bvThILXayj2GrYsbDKlcpk3HvRuCpj4d-s2jOo_c6fiZCGs7SF657w6u8tCrGTdYH-1uReh7xafeD_9Y2SOYFBfn_6ea9SfvBRND9yJreAi3p_y41X1AV1gVTdSB3nf7flOmIMEMRuCHSqEnOnCqK0eOBUTVMKFTyGzmGnBpa0vsL9agGc5-KV_fdz0xkg3s3-9KSF8NBR4CEQQHmr-xX6pP10IQJxchhdmcqgRUiPu7NenepRY725LkyEJYPGSk-XgToAACGI7OKmM4ToMWk3clpUZPmzV_1OfpNRL714fhwnUQmfYaJAvg2BT4I3hADH0WWnxN38zv-ylSAmWdj9LRp5a0Sy4K61St8BC0Cp_gtk9ZDiDGJSc29V_TjFTU7dECljEZ9pZl_Gbroqpa0CddCIMImzma1NKnYeDEdBeexZNVh8MX1-Eu06vmTBRCvYo7dtiX6Vnf3yQvxLZbHosN8D9sT82tH2QSJ1IDfzvHT9UWmwaP5Lc1nKh9UvuYAJ_-H7A2n5ZD0JAtykYI2KztgO93__jlu2A1kNNa1gwNKvHWOZU1VskqiTyKSkCzP7hUQ_Y6fj9u-81Se5ux4I8fpN6Z3gGfzJy_mO5ZxC2Tbv1RoeNauSNg" target="_blank" data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" rel="noopener nofollow" data-lynx-mode="async" style="color: rgb(56, 88, 152); cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; font-family: inherit;" class="">www.peacepivot.org</a></p></div></div></div></body></html>
