The World Anti-Imperialist Platform (WAP) is a political organisation, which describes itself as an anti-imperialist forum, created in 2022. WAP describes their objective as being to coordinate "efforts against imperialism", particularly in the Russo-Ukrainian War,[5] as well as potential conflict between China and Taiwan or North Korea and South Korea where they state that they stand "firmly on the side of those who have recognized that neither China nor Russia are imperialist powers" so "workers of the world do indeed have a side in the war against US imperialism and its NATO allies".[6] The Platform's membership is predominantly composed of communist parties. The organization has been criticized by multiple communist political parties and groups.
WAP claims that Russia and China are not an imperialist powers. They view these countries as not engaged in wars of dominance or colonization, and claim that the Russo-Ukrainian conflict as a proxy war against Russia by imperialist powers.[6][7] WAP's stance sets it apart from other parties in the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties (IMCWP), which have characterized the war as inter-imperialist,[8] whereas the WAP supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2][9]
