Commentary The Hong Kong of just a decade ago is unrecognizable from the Hong Kong of today.

China’s Global Influence War: French Military Exposé
News Analysis Beijing’s global influence operations, including election interference, has been revealed by a new French military study.

In Defense of Ending Extradition Treaties With China
Commentary Recently, a minor row erupted on Twitter over some comments made about Spain’s shameless extradition of 94 Taiwanese citizens to China in June 2019.
