The World Socialist Web Site is today publishing a Chinese translation of its major new year’s perspective: “2022: Year Three of the pandemic and the emerging global class struggle.”

Published in English on January 3, the perspective reviews the experience of the pandemic as a trigger for a global breakdown of the capitalist system. It exposes the underlying roots of the criminal and homicidal official response to the COVID crisis on the part of capitalist governments and analyses the historical relationship between the fight for public health measures and the revolutionary struggle of the working class.

The perspective outlines a socialist and internationalist perspective for the global working class and is of immense relevance to workers and young people in China, the most populous country, as well as the millions around the world who also read Mandarin. We urge our readers to share the Chinese translation to ensure that it receives the widest circulation possible.
