Have you ever seen a mainstream news report containing the phrase "the French regime"? How about "the British regime" or "the Australian regime"? If these phrases look a bit odd, it's because you've never seen them written down before. Ostensibly the word
Most people who criticize China including those on the left have never been to China and only get their information from biased bourgeois sources in the west. China is nothing like what your press tells you about. Their is more personal and individual freedom there and less repression than in the so called democratic countries. I lived and worked there for 5 years. China and the CPC are worthy of praise and emulation in so many regards. Don’t fall for the propaganda.
All very true. But let's not paint the CPC as some paragon of democratic virtue. Its government executes, it seems, a far larger number of people every year than does the USA or any other nation on Earth. Their police commit acts of repressive violence vastly worse than the anti-poor, racist US counterparts. There is little freedom of speech and no means to organise political opposition without risking a lifetime in prisons whose conditions are much more severe than those here in the UK. Whilst we might not have the ability to influence Chinese government policy as we can in the USA and UK, we must not ignore the harms caused to ordinary people by repressive governments just because the US administration regards them as enemies.
Given the continuity of plutocratic continuity between the governments of Bush Obama Trump and Biden combined with the media's facilitation of that control, the term regime could rightfully be applied to America as well.
You rightfully drive home the point that the battleground for any war-making first takes place between one's ears.
Excellent and important journalism. The terms and labels attached to people and/or governments by the media shape the narrative. The DNC and the corporate liberal media used "socialist", "Russian asset", and "Assad apologist" to delegitimize the 2020 Sanders and Gabbard presidential campaigns and American citizens and the rest of the world will suffer greatly as a result. It's clear that our top political, military and intelligence officials and the corporate media they control are engaged in a disinformation campaign aimed at American citizens in service of fabricating “enemies” to justify their huge budgets and genocidal colonial wars. Their utter lack of concern let alone guilt for the millions of innocent human beings murdered or displaced as refugees as a result of US "interventionist wars" and “wars on drugs” in the middle east and Latin America revealed to be based on lies is astounding. The bipartisan racist, sociopathic zeitgeist that describes US policing and foreign policy is unconscionable.
Whenever I post an article or response on SM, I use the term 'regime', i.e., the trump regime, now the Biden regime. I try to encourage other writers to do likewise.

We know for a fact the US REGIME broadcasts their warmongering propaganda 24/7 throughout the MSM, and has done so since the early days of radio.
The question of the day is, what are we going to do about it?
Posting blogs, tweets, and Facebook comments do absolutely nothing at all.
