Bradley is author of several bestsellers focused on U.S. policy in the Pacific and Asia, including The China Mirage: The Hidden History of American Disaster in Asia — see NPR report on that book. He is perhaps most well known for his book Flags of Our Fathers.

He said today: “Take the G20, subtract the G7 and it equals the BRICS. The eastern winds are predominant, the petrodollar is leaking and it will be a cold winter in the West.”

Bradley is prominently featured in John Pilger’s noted documentary “The Coming War on China.”

He has produced numerous episodes of the “Untold Pacific” podcast including “China Rising” and “U.S. Military: ‘War with China Inevitable.’”

He recently said: “The business of China is business. The business of America is war. Will the U.S. make a business-like deal with China over Taiwan? Or will the U.S. insist upon the Taiwan question being settled as a matter of war? It’s not China that’s aggressive — it’s the U.S. government that invades Iraq and Afghanistan and puts a fleet on China’s doorstep.

“The U.S.’s history in China is disastrous. One of the first war lobbies in the U.S. was to get the U.S. to pour millions into supporting Chiang Kai-shek against Mao when Chiang Kai-shek had much, much less popular support.”
