The Coming War on China

According to the Pentagon, nuclear war between the United States and China is not only imaginable but a current 'contingency.' Filmed over two years across five potential flashpoints in Asia and the Pacific, THE COMING WAR ON CHINA reveals the build-up to war on more than 400 US military bases that encircle China in a 'perfect noose.'

Using rare archival footage and remarkable interviews with witnesses, Pilger's film discloses America's secret history in the region — the destruction wrought by the equivalent of one Hiroshima attack every day for 12 years, and the top secret project that made guinea pigs of the population of the Marshall Islands.

In key interviews with Pentagon war planners and member's of China's new political class, who rarely feature in Western reports, Pilger's film challenges the idea of China as a new ‘enemy.' THE COMING WAR ON CHINA is both a warning and an inspiring story of resistance.
