Beijing’s Claim to Sovereignty of Taiwan Strait Undermines US ‘One China’ Policy
China’s New Aircraft Carrier Uses Catapult Tech Stolen From US
News Analysis China’s newest aircraft carrier and missile defense systems include a qualitative—and stolen—technological leap that brings Beijing closer to driving the United States from Asia.

Beijing’s Shift From Mercantilism to Militarism
Commentary The tone of Chinese diplomacy and its international relations have markedly changed since 2019. Several factors are driving these changes in China’s relations with the world.

The Approaching Geographic Realignment in Post-Roe America
Commentary Roe v. Wade has been overturned. This has rightfully been highlighted as one of the most monumental developments of our lifetime.
