The US is spending record amounts on their military in the Asia Pacific...
John Pilger in, The Coming War on China, dares to ask why
“A gripping film … a strong corrective to our bland and complacent indifference”
– Peter Bradshow, The Guardian 
Is the USA on the path to war on China?
Could Australia be drawn into a battle between two nuclear superpowers?
John Pilger’s acclaimed film, The Coming War on China, provides a gripping and timely wakeup call, exposing a massive military build-up on our doorstep.
“…Pilger characteristically explores the opposite angle, questioning the ultimate purpose of a whole phalanx of US bases from Australia through the Pacific to South Korea and Japan – all pointing their weaponry at China.” – Trevor Johnson, Radio Times
Digging beyond the headlines of the mainstream media, Pilger’s investigative journalism skills, deliver an insightful and necessary documentary.
What becomes apparent, is America’s determination to stamp their authority on the region and the growing threat of nuclear war.
Pivot to Asia and an Increasing Nuclear Threat
While many overlooked the significance of Barack Obama’s announcement to the Australian parliament in 2011 of a strategic “pivot to Asia”, Pilger did not…
This film examines the actions of the US before and after this announcement, and China’s response to this increasing escalation.
Now, with Donald Trump as US president, and increasing tension with China and North Korea, particularly involving nuclear weapons capabilities, Pilger’s film has a relevance that is impossible to ignore.
