Triploi | Why Australia Can't Break Free from US Empire

In episode 78 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Triploi, @triploi historian, content, creator, and host of the Triploi Podcast, to unpack how Western historical narratives are constructed and why they consistently erase the Global South. He traces how a childhood fascination with World War II led him to question the omissions in mainstream history, discover historical materialism, and understand the deep entanglement between colonialism and capitalism over the past 500 years. Triploi explains how this lens reshaped his politics, why so‑called “radicalization” is often just education, and how social media unexpectedly became a platform for accessible political history. He also examines Australia’s position inside the U.S.‑led imperial system, from the 1975 dismissal to today’s alignment with Washington’s China strategy, and why anti‑China narratives dominate Australian media and think‑tank discourse. Triploi has been a fan of history since he was a small child, with a particular passion for 20th century history and the World Wars. But what started as an interest in mainstream history eventually turned into a need to understand WHY things happened. 20+ years of study later, in areas as varied as aviation, sociology, politics (and more history of course) Triploi is determined to not just examine history but question why it is written the way it is, and why the western-centric, capitalist worldview has become so dominant, and what we can do can to fix all the damage it has caused across the globe.

Tings Chak | Why Asia’s Militarization Is Central to the US’s Strategy

In episode 77 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Tings Chak, researcher, writer, and Asia Co-coordinator of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research to unpack why Asia has become the central frontline of US strategy. She explains how Washington is rapidly rebuilding a regional military architecture, from new bases in the Philippines and the militarization of Okinawa to arms sales to Taiwan, while countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia navigate this new Cold War landscape through their own histories, contradictions, and constraints. She also examines the limits and openings of BRICS and South‑South initiatives, arguing that Asia’s militarization reflects a dying world order and underscoring the need for regional, anti‑imperialist solidarity.

Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj | Free Trade is a Trap: How the West Keeps the Global South Poor

In episode 76 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Dr. Jeyakumar Devaraj, a Malaysian physician, chairperson of the Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM), and a lifelong advocate for workers' rights and healthcare equity. Dr. Kumar co-founded Malaysia's only registered socialist party despite a decade of state obstruction and served two terms in parliament. They discuss how liberal Christianity shaped his socialist worldview, the lost spirit of the Non-Aligned Movement, what true sovereignty means, why free trade agreements trap Malaysia from raising wages or protecting local farmers, how ASEAN's 680 million people could become a self-sufficient bloc, and lessons from China, Cuba-Venezuela, and the history of neocolonial coups.

Laith Marouf | Why the West Fails to Understand Resistance

In episode 75 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Laith Marouf, a Syrian, Palestinian, Canadian journalist, political commentator, and the founder of Free Palestine TV. Laith’s work spans frontline journalism, political analysis, and independent media organizing, rooted in the Palestinian struggle for liberation and the broader politics of West Asian resistance. Born into a Syrian-Palestinian family and later based in Canada, his reporting and commentary have focused on imperialism, Zionist settler-colonialism, and the role of independent media in challenging mainstream narratives. We discuss how his Palestinian-Syrian heritage and lived experience as a diasporan journalist shaped his political consciousness, what led him to found Free Palestine TV as a platform for uncensored coverage and analysis, and how his time in Canada informs his understanding of Western media complicity. Laith reflects on the challenges of sustaining independent journalism under political and financial pressure, the importance of on-the-ground reporting from Palestine and Lebanon, and why media sovereignty is essential to anti-imperialist struggle.

Mr Fong | Debunking Anti‑China Claims: But at what cost?

In episode 74 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Mr. Fong, a Netherlands‑based content creator known for his debunks of anti‑China propaganda and his work challenging Western narratives about Xinjiang, extremism, and China’s political system. His social‑media presence has grown across diasporic communities, from Malaysia to Europe, where his videos circulate widely among audiences seeking clarity beyond mainstream headlines. We discuss how his political understanding developed despite growing up in a depoliticised Chinese‑diaspora household, how studying history and encountering misinformation pushed him to “untangle” his own assumptions, and why he began creating content after witnessing rising harassment of Chinese people in the Netherlands. Fong reflects on learning about Xinjiang through personal encounters, researching ETIM and extremist violence, and tracing how misattributed images, recycled witnesses, and repetition‑based propaganda shaped global perceptions. He also explains how speaking publicly about these issues has led to an ongoing legal case in the Netherlands, raising questions about censorship, political pressure, and the limits of dissent in Europe.

Francisco Dominguez | Stop Lecturing the Global South on How to Fight

In episode 73 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Dr. Francisco Domínguez, a Chilean academic, writer, and long‑standing analyst of Latin American politics. He has spent decades in the UK working in anti-imperialist solidarity movements, including senior roles within the Cuba Solidarity Campaign and the Venezuelan Solidarity Campaign, and is known for his work on sovereignty, political economy, and internationalism. We discuss how living through the Chilean coup and later arriving in the UK as a refugee shaped his political worldview, how studying political economy transformed his understanding of global power, and what decades of solidarity organising taught him about internationalism. Francisco reflects on the shifts in UK activism from the 1980s to today, the challenges of building movements in the Global North, and why humility, sovereignty, and clarity are essential for meaningful global solidarity. https://cuba-solidarity.org.uk https://www.venezuelasolidarity.co.uk/ Follow Ileana Chan: Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeace One-time donation to support our work: https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatch https://gofund.me/2cd9de43 Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch: YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMedia TikTok: @EmpireWatchMedia X: @EmpireWatchX AUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY The Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in-depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission of building a global movement towards a multipolar world.

Abla Kandalaft | Storytelling as Resistance

In episode 72 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Abla Kandalaft, a London‑based journalist, researcher, and film programmer. She is a media consultant and writer for The Canary, serves as Chair of the Independent Media Association, is part of the team behind Mydylarama (an outlet dedicated to global cinema and cultural commentary), and a programmer and curator at the Garden Cinema in London and other venues and festivals. We discuss storytelling as resistance, Hollywood's role as an arm of US empire, and how Iran is winning the meme war by turning America's own cultural tools against it. Abla explains how growing up in a Lebanese-Syrian household in the UK shaped her anti-imperialist worldview, why sovereignty is the core of all genuine resistance, and how the US and Israel are actively trying to foment civil war in Lebanon. Later, she breaks down the battle over media and culture, from Iranian embassies going viral with "hunk of the month" Abbas Araghchi, to the Films of Resistance database platforming Palestinian, Lebanese and Sudanese cinema, to why Hollywood blockbusters like Independence Day would flop if made today. For more about Abla: https://ablakandalaft.com/ Abla will be hosting this online event, get tickets for the screenings and Q&A, which are taking place between 29 April and 2 May: https://www.ticketebo.co.uk/tayo-aluko-friends/paul-robesons-love-song-an-audio-play Follow Ileana Chan: Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeace One-time donation to support our work: https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatch https://gofund.me/2cd9de43 Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch: YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMedia TikTok: @EmpireWatchMedia X: @EmpireWatchX AUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY here and: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6...

Anna Malindog-Uy | US Sacrificial Pawn: Philippines Energy Collapse

In episode 71 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Professor Anna Malindog‑Uy, researcher-writer, academic, consultant and a regular columnist in the Manila Times. Anna explains why the Philippines became the first country to declare a national energy emergency, how its dependence on imported oil and lack of reserves make it extremely vulnerable, and how the crisis is hitting ordinary Filipinos, from jeepney drivers losing income to fisherfolk unable to work. She also breaks down the Marcos Jr. administration’s mixed signals on China and how this policy confusion affects long‑term energy security. Finally, she situates the crisis within a shifting global order shaped by U.S. decline, Middle East instability, and China’s growing role, and how these changes are influencing Filipino views on sovereignty and imperialism. Professor Anna Malindog Uy is a researcher-writer, academic, consultant and a regular columnist in the Manila Times. She is also a Ph.D. Candidate at the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development (ISSCAD), Peking University, Beijing, China and a Senior Researcher of the South China Sea Probing Initiative (SCSPI) and a Senior Research Fellow of the Global Governance Institution (GGI).
