Commentary On July 8, President Joe Biden officially posited that the U.S. “military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31”—retracting from the earlier plan of drawing down the forces by Sept. 11 (20th anniversary of 9/11). Biden’s move came in the wake of the Taliban’s increasing territorial foothold in Afghanistan, inching closer to Kabul—with…
Japan’s Defense White Paper: Talking Tough for a Change
Commentary Japan’s annual Defense White Paper normally gets a few days of attention and then fades away. Any changes from the previous year are usually marginal. And the language is generally veiled and toned down, so as not to offend anyone in Japan or elsewhere—except maybe the North Koreans whose missiles and nukes have been…
Xi Jinping’s Seven Misjudgments
Commentary All of the problems that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is facing today come from fundamental structural factors that can’t be resolved. This is its biggest crisis.

A Message to President Biden: Please Keep the Chinese Regime Away From American Farmland
Commentary Millions of Americans believe the current president, Joe Biden, is weak on China. As I write this, spy tools favored by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are still operating in the United States. The “weak on China” criticism is a fair one, and President Biden could certainly do more to combat the threat from China. However, according to a recent piece published in Politico, the…

The Great American Weakness
Commentary The headlines of the Wall Street Journal today call attention to a great American weakness—love of money over the country. The headline says: “China’s Huawei Hires Democratic Lobbyist Tony Podesta.” By itself that may not mean much to the vast majority of readers. So let me explain. Tony Podesta is the brother of John…
From Health Care to Hollywood: How the Chinese Regime Attempts to Control America
Commentary We are fast approaching the two months anniversary of the John Cena apology. For the uninitiated, in an interview for Fast and Furious 9, a movie he was starring in, the professional wrestler and actor made the “mistake” of calling Taiwan a country.

Feds Drop Case Against Chinese Researcher: Surprise Move Greenlights More Chinese Espionage in US
Commentary Federal prosecutors have dismissed the case against Chinese national Tang Juan, whose trial on visa fraud charges was to begin on July 26, the Sacramento Bee reports.

China Violates International Laws Against Forced Repatriation to North Korea
Commentary China is forcing North Korean refugees back to the Hermit Kingdom, which almost certainly detains and tortures them, or worse, upon their arrival. This violates international laws against the forcible return of refugees, known as refoulement, and provides yet another reason to sanction China economically, including towards a gradual yet complete economic decoupling at…
