“China’s influence in US politics has coincided with the industrialization of China, at the expense of a deindustrializing US. Global corporations, to which US politicians answer, fled high wages and environmental regulations in the US for low wages and lax environmental standards in China. Now, the US is paying the price and might not recover sufficiently to defend itself against China’s growing military. The strategic ambitions of one nation can and have upset the United Nations and the balance between powers. Now the Western world must understand the imminent threats from the hegemonic ambitions of China.”
Hierarchy exists in every segment of society. From politics, to unions, associations, corporations, and the military. Dr. Corr breaks them all down and provides readers with a sense of what the world could well face if we allow hierarchy to continue its historical development toward a global and illiberal hegemony. Be it in China, the United States, or the European Union, all are vying for global influence and the utilization of the United Nations structure to promote either the principles of human rights and democracy, or in the case of Beijing, the exact opposite. This clash between democracy and autocracy on a global level could turn to war.
Anders Corr is a member of the AI World Society Innovation Network (AIWS.net). He contributed to Boston Global Forum (BGF) in writing reports and speaking at Global Cybersecurity Day December 12, 2015 and other BGF events.

Bill Browder presented Labor Senator Kimberly Kitching with the Sergei Magnitsky Human Rights Award at the 2021 ceremony in London.
Boston Global Forum congratulates Senator Kitching on receiving this honor.
Kimberley spoke at the Democratic Alliance for Digital Governance on July 1, 2020, organized by Boston Global Forum and at the United Nations Centennial Roundtable, organized by AI World Society Network (AIWS.net). She called for legislations and regulations for transparency and accountability of governments in digital and AI.
She will speak about concepts for a powerful global mechanism to enforce Global Law on AI and Digital at the Symposium ““The Framework for Global Law and Accord on AI and Digital” on Global Cybersecurity Day.
8:00 am – 11:00 am (EST), 14:00 – 17:00 (CET), December 12, 2021.
The death of Sergei Magnitsky sparked a fierce global backlash. In the US, the Obama administration introduced legislation, commonly called the Magnitsky Act, to sanction the officials complicit in Magnitsky’s death.
The legislation has since been adopted by 32 other countries and recently been used against Chinese officials over the persecution of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang.
Momentum in Australia to adopt a similar bill stalled until Kitching took up the cause following a Zoom meeting with Browder.
“Australia’s a country that’s completely on the other side of the world and for years I’d been trying to get things going, and I couldn’t get any traction at all,” Browder told the awards ceremony.
“And the moment I met Kimberley on Zoom, everything started to happen.
“She got the government to agree to do a Magnitsky Act and I understand that it will pass in the next two weeks and Australia will be the 34th country in the world to have a Magnitsky Act.
”We almost have the whole world covered.“
Kitching paid tribute to her fellow “Wolverines” – Liberal China-hawks Senator James Paterson and Assistant Defence Minister Andrew Hastie – as well as Foreign Minister Marise Payne and the former Labor MP Michael Danby, who had pushed for an Australian Magnitsky Act before his retirement in 2016.
“We’ve never given up on having this law, it’s been delightful to find allies across the aisle and in the crossbench,” she said.
