Commentary Lithuania is a small Baltic country of population 2.8 million and land area 65,300 square kilometers. Compare that to China’s 1.4 billion population and 9.6 million square kilometers.

Uyghur Groups Frustrated With US Inaction Against Genocide
Commentary Uyghur groups are quietly frustrated with slow action by the president and Congress against the Uyghur genocide, as the government appears unable to override business interests bent on appeasing China.

Commentary It has been reported in various media outlets, including The Epoch Times, The Australian, and The Guardian, that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison mistakenly referred to the “one country, two systems” framework when discussing the Republic of China, better known as Taiwan.

China’s Aircraft Carriers Are No Great Threat—Yet
Commentary When it comes to weaponry, there is rarely such a thing as the “big surprise.” In most cases, we know about a new, potentially game-changing weapons system years in advance.

Commentary There’s a dump truck of a China bill coming your direction from Congress, and it’s chock-full of cotton balls. Not a pretty sight.

What Role Does China Play in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?
Commentary Israel and Hamas were engaged in a military conflict this month.

Commentary For many years, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) has acquiesced to digital currency operations in China. But in 2018, it began to restrict Bitcoin transactions while still secretly encouraging Bitcoin mining.

China’s $1 Billion Sweetheart Road to Nowhere in Montenegro
Commentary Montenegro, a tiny Balkan nation of under a million inhabitants and about $5.5 billion in GDP (2019), borrowed $1 billion from China to pay China, to build its first highway, that is now stalled after reaching only 24 percent of its planned length.
