In his first extensive conversation with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Biden said, “We will maintain a strong military presence in the Indo-Pacific just as we do with NATO in Europe—not to start a conflict but to prevent one [and]…

Commentary On Sept. 26, 2021, the current affairs program “60 Minutes” aired a fascinating documentary, which told the harrowing story of Chinese whistleblower Desmond Shum, whose ex-wife, billionaire Whitney Duan, disappeared on the streets of Beijing four years ago. Until recently, nobody had heard from her, and her fate was unknown. However, when her ex-husband,…
Progressives Have to Recognize the CCP Threat
Commentary The Progressive wing of the Democratic Party has had much to say about the ills of U.S. society and what must be accomplished to address them, but rather less about China’s behavior under its rulers, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They do not identify the CCP for what it is, the world’s largest anti-progressive…
America Should Stop Buying Surveillance Technology From China
Commentary In a previous piece, I asked if the Biden administration was actually enabling the Chinese regime. The answer, I concluded, was a rather resounding yes. The administration should be doing everything in its power to distance itself from a capricious, dangerous regime. Instead, it’s busy buying surveillance equipment from the enemy. What a Difference a Year…
The Real Effects of COVID-19 Are Psychological
Commentary The world has been bombarded with agitprop public messaging from state-run Chinese media and “wolf warrior” diplomats, as well as Western authorities and their media sycophants, since China first reported COVID-19 cases in Wuhan city, Hubei Province to the World Health Organization on Dec. 31, 2019. The messages were uniformly and relentlessly propagated, all…

News Analysis The Biden administration embodies the weakness of anemic diplomacy against Beijing’s continued predatory trade practices. Biden has been treading water on Beijing’s predatory trade practices, as illustrated by his trade representative’s recent public comments. U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai recently said, across several meetings, that she does not want to inflame the “competition”…

News Analysis The Chinese regime does not recognize dual-citizenship, claiming full sovereignty over anyone holding a Chinese passport. At the same time, much of the rhetoric of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its leader Xi Jinping is about Chinese blood and the blood of the ancestors, which translates to the CCP believing that it controls…
The CCP’s Hidden Agenda Behind China’s Sudden Power Cuts
Commentary The growing power shortage in China has spread to Beijing and Shanghai, while residents in northeastern China—the hardest hit area—are stockpiling candles. I still remember the bitter cold winter during the 1960s in Liaoning, a coastal province bordering North Korea. In local elementary schools, the classrooms were freezing cold and students took turns lighting…
China’s Economy Hit With a 3-Punch Combination
News Analysis China’s economy has had a rough summer, hit first by a rise in COVID-19 infections, then by the impending bankruptcy of the giant real estate developer Evergrande, and now by severe power shortages throughout the country. The coming months might bring relief on the COVID-19 front, but though the authorities are scrambling, the…
How the Chinese Regime Plans to Destroy Our Civil Liberties
Commentary The Hong Kong of just a decade ago is unrecognizable from the Hong Kong of today. With the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) busy revising university curriculums, collective patriotism has replaced individual freedom; loyalty to Beijing is not just expected, it’s compulsory. Refusal to comply, more often than not, results in punishment. To date, the…
