Originally published by Gatestone Institute Commentary In the book “Red Handed,” we meet a remarkable young man named Nathan Law, the Chinese-born, Hong Kong-raised leader of a pro-democracy effort called the “Umbrella Movement,” which protested Beijing’s crackdowns on freedom in Hong Kong.

End the Falun Gong Genocide
Commentary Beijing is conducting genocide against not only Uyghurs, but Falun Gong practitioners. Economic sanctions on Xinjiang should be broadened to all of China. The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) genocide against the Uyghurs is now well-known. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made the designation in January 2021, just as the Trump administration departed….
Is the EU Using China’s Methods of Surveillance?
Commentary Let’s play a quick game of word association. When you hear the word “China,” what other words spring to mind? Persecution, communism, tyranny, “zero-COVID” madness. How about surveillance? Having lived in China for nearly two years, I speak from experience when I say the following: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) monitors the actions of…
While Ukraine Burns, Turkey Ponders a War With Greece
Commentary Turkey has been preparing a major military gamble to restore the plummeting prestige of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who—unless he can produce a miracle—could be swept from office within a year. Right now, there is little he seems willing to do about Turkey’s economic crisis. Inflation in Turkey reached a 24-year high of 78…
Does the Biden Administration Emulate the Chinese Communist Party’s Methods?
Commentary In its hybrid war against the United States, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been pursuing a number of intertwined goals aimed at world economic dominance in all spheres: trade, policy, legal, technology, etc. For it is economic dominance that undergirds geopolitical and military dominance, as well as its penultimate goal: world leadership in…

Commentary The exodus from big cities and blue states has become a familiar theme over the past couple of years, with COVID restrictions, rising crime, and ruinous costs prompting a significant migration of people and businesses out of urban areas and into suburbs, small towns, and booming Republican-leaning states. Paradoxically, though, government data indicates that…
Want What’s Best for Kids? Put the Word ‘Groomer’ in Its Proper Place
Commentary Remember the story from Aesop’s Fables about the boy who cried wolf? Over and over again, the young shepherd would fool villagers into thinking that his flock was being hunted by a vicious wolf. One day, when the beast finally attacked and the boy cried out for help, no one answered. The villagers were…

Commentary China’s DJI is selling drones to U.S. government agencies, including the FBI and DHS, and paying lobbyists in Washington to keep the flow going. The lobbyists are allegedly obstructing bills in Congress that would ban the practice. Instead of supporting American jobs and protecting American privacy, Democrats in the House of Representatives just stripped…
3 Reasons Chinese Companies Should Be Excluded From ESG
The exposure of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investors to Russia has already proved something of an (expensive) embarrassment. In hindsight, ESG investors should have held Russia to the same standard as its companies, but it’s not too late to apply that lesson to other countries. While Russia had a modest allocation in emerging-market ESG…
China’s Deleveraging Still Has a Long Way to Go
Commentary China’s second-quarter GDP grew only 0.4 percent on a year-over-year basis but contracted 2.6 percent compared to the first quarter. For years I have been reluctant to comment on the fake figures, but now the releases seem more down to the earth. Although the numbers are broadly in line with the proxy-composite PMI, which…
