Our Mission
No New Cold War leads efforts to advocate against and educate the public on increased tensions between the United States, China, and Russia. In order to overcome threats like nuclear war and environmental destruction, we support foreign policy that advocates for the U.S., China, Russia and all other countries to become partners in survival. In tandem with a number of objectives, we urge people to reject the demonization and “othering” of Russia and China and encourage international collaboration on global issues such as climate change, disarmament, demilitarization, xenophobia, racism, and pandemics.
The future of humanity is threatened by the twin dangers of nuclear war and environmental destruction. By focusing on these issues at hand — and solving them through global cooperation and diplomacy — we can support Common Security among the United States, China, and Russia in which security is achieved not against an adversary but together with it.

Background
The No New Cold Wear campaign was created, in a broader view, in order to combat a new Cold War with China and Russia. Our message has gained traction since the election of Donald Trump in 2016 and rising tensions between U.S.-China, as well as in 2020 where we eaffirmed our position against xenophobic, racist, and dangerous rhetoric towards China and AAPI communities in the U.S. following the coronavirus pandemic. Our campaign writes articles and organizes webinars on topics ranging from South China Sea provocations, Taiwan, and demonizing rhetoric towards both Russia and China.
