Commentary While the FBI and the Department of Justice are starting to act against Chinese long-arm policing, especially the global Fox Hunt operation, its allies lag far behind, and no other country has moved to have any indictments made. Europe, in particular, is letting Fox Hunt run rampant and without pushback. On Oct. 20 and…
While the US Starts Countering Fox Hunt and Chinese Policing Abroad, Europe Lags Far Behind
Are Lab-Grown Foods a Threat to the Health of the American People?
Commentary Now that companies promoting lab-based dairy and lab-grown foods are getting FDA approval, it’s time to have an uncomfortable but important discussion about the push to reinvent the American diet. Lab-based dairy, we’re told, is the future. Removing dairy cows from the equation means fewer methane emissions. The environment wins. But you know who…
A Look Back, a Look Forward
Commentary ‘Tis the season for articles that look back at the past year and forward to the next. For this look, it seems as though an extremely ambiguous and consequently frustrating 2022 will give way to a greater resolution in 2023. Last year’s economy certainly created frustration. Take the path of inflation. It was severe…
India and China Clash on the Roof of the World
Commentary Chinese dictator Xi Jinping lost face when his communist regime, confronting mass and violent protests in major cities, backed off on its totalitarian “zero-tolerance” COVID-19 lockdown policies.

Chinese Human Rights Propaganda Must Be Continually Exposed
Commentary State-run Chinese media propaganda that brags about China’s “respect for human rights” is endless—and annoying.

China Creeps Closer: ‘Creeping Normalcy’ and the Threat to the US

China’s Sudden Shift on Zero-COVID Causes Chaos
Commentary Over a week has passed since China abandoned its zero-COVID policy. The sudden move caused chaos in society, and Beijing was not prepared. The drugs for flu and fever are sold out.

Invading Taiwan: A Goal Xi Jinping Can Never Achieve
Commentary After Xi Jinping secured a third term at the 20th National Congress in October, many people speculated about what he will do next.

CNY Mainly ‘Internationalized’ in Offshore Hong Kong
Commentary Recently, Xi Jinping of mainland China visited Saudi Arabia, arousing speculation of some new deals to be done. Specifically, some nationalists expect a substantial portion of Saudi oil exported to China to be settled in the Chinese Yuan (CNY) rather than the U.S. dollar.
