Tired of the gaslighting?

The mainstream media told you

  • Economic sanctions would kill the Russian economy
  • US tech sanctions would shut down China’s semiconductor industry
  • Russia is taking massive casualties in Ukraine and will have to negotiate
  • China’s property market will collapse its economy

And so on, every day and in every major news outlet. The facts didn’t support the gaslighting. When the facts are clear, Asia Times gives you the facts; when they are controversial, Asia Times gives you the controversy.

We urgently need your support to keep on doing so.
