No Cold War is a campaign dedicated to opposing the US-led new cold war against China, and promoting peaceful and mutually beneficial relations. We believe that the rising tensions of recent years constitute a threat to world peace and are an obstacle to humanity successfully dealing with extremely serious common issues which confront it such as climate change, control of pandemics, racist discrimination and economic development.
When No Cold War was launched in 2020 it issued a statement, which can be read and signed here: https://nocoldwar.org/statement.
