Qiao Collective is a diaspora Chinese media collective challenging U.S. aggression on China.
We aim to challenge rising U.S. aggression towards the People’s Republic of China and to equip the U.S. anti-war movement with the tools and analysis to better combat the stoking of a New Cold War conflict with China.
We seek to be a bridge between the U.S. left and China’s rich Marxist, anti-imperialist political work and thought in order to foster critical consideration of the role of China and socialism with Chinese characteristics in contemporary geopolitics.
We aim to disrupt Western misinformation and propaganda and to affirm the basic humanity, subjectivity, and political agency of Chinese people. We believe misinformation, chauvinism, and false equivalencies have weakened the U.S. left’s ability to understand aggression on China in the larger context of Western political, military, and economic imperialism in the Global South. We aim to confront the internalization of U.S. propaganda amongst the U.S. left by critically and realistically examining China’s role in the world struggle against imperialism and capitalism.
We work to provide a lens into China’s role in supporting an emerging bloc of independent Global South nations mutually threatened by Western economic, military, and political violence. We are committed to the principles of socialist internationalism and strive towards solidarity and mutual exchange between China in its socialist path and the liberation movements of all Global South and colonized peoples.
Qiao Collective is an all-volunteer group made possible by the volunteer work of our members. We are comprised of ethnic Chinese people living across multiple countries. The majority of our members are diaspora Chinese people living in the West. We are a diverse group, including ethnic Chinese people from Southeast Asia, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
About our name
As a reflection of our intention to bridge Chinese Marxist anti-imperialist critique to the United States left, our name (桥) plays on the Chinese words 桥 qiáo (meaning bridge and pronounced “chee-ow”) and 华侨 huáqiáo (meaning overseas Chinese).
