China’s ‘Satellite Crusher’: ‘Space Pearl Harbor’ Is Coming
Commentary On Oct. 24, China launched its Shijian-21 into orbit. The satellite, according to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp., is “tasked with demonstrating technologies to alleviate and neutralize space debris.” As Beijing sees it, American satellites constitute “debris.” Shijian-21 has a robotic arm that can be used to move space junk—there are more than 100 million…
On Communist China’s Military Budget
Commentary China seems to spend less on military spending, compared to the United States. But Beijing manipulates the numbers to make China appear more peaceful, and its behavior suggests that Washington should still be concerned. The Heritage Foundation held an online forum last week discussing the budget of the Chinese regime. This is important because…
China Won’t Attack Taiwan
Commentary If mainland China tries to take Taiwan again, as it tried and failed more than 70 years ago, it would likely fail again—just as the United States and the Soviet Union failed in their invasions of Afghanistan, just as the Arab armies failed in their invasions of Israel, just as other apparently overwhelming militaries…
Borderline Criminal: The Media’s Failure to Report on China’s Forced Organ Harvesting

Beijing Disappoints COP26 Climate Analysts With Lackluster Promises
News Analysis The COP26 climate conference is taking place in Scotland, and China has already disappointed analysts who say it is not doing enough to stop catastrophic global warming.

Beijing Tea Leaf Reading Suggests Economic Downturn Likely
Commentary China’s “economic miracle” looks poised to be in the rearview mirror, as Party leaders appear to be preparing the country for a period of slowing growth going forward. In October Beijing announced sharply lower third-quarter official GDP growth figures, with a 4.9 percent mark that missed economist consensus by 30 basis points. In late…

News Analysis Beijing’s increasing belligerence toward Taiwan voids the “one China” policy and prior arms sales limitations, which should be increased to maintain the military balance and keep the peace. On Oct. 21, President Joe Biden vowed that America would defend Taiwan against any future Chinese attack on the island. In August, Biden called the…

Commentary If (or when) the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) launches an amphibious assault on Taiwan, the PLA Marine Corps (PLAMC) will play an important role. But the bulk of the invasion force will likely be the PLA’s 50,000 amphibious-trained Army troops. However, that doesn’t mean PLAMC development and expansion doesn’t deserve careful attention. With…
