In recent years, a controversial street food, Luosifen (螺蛳粉), has taken China by storm. Some people say it’s extremely stinky, a foul, sour smell that penetrates the soul after consumption; others think it is very fragrant, and they are convinced that “if you eat luosifen three times, there’s no way you won’t be addicted”. Luosifen, translated as “snail rice noodle”, is a traditional snack in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, which can be described as a combination of “stinky, spicy, fresh, fragrant and sour”.

After two-year of fighting hard against COVID-19, China failed to make the virus disappear from its soil. Instead, stringent lockdowns and other extreme anti-pandemic measures have taken a whack at the country’s economy. Companies became unstable, leading to massive layoffs and the state’s crackdown on the private sector. Bloomberg reported in July that China’s unemployment rate among 16-to-24-year-olds hit 19.3%. It means that 15 million young Chinese are jobless. The problem worsened as summer ended, and

For a long time, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese Yuan Renminbi remained below 7. It existed like a myth in the minds of the Chinese public and the outside world. But such a myth has recently been shattered. The CCP is annoyed with this. China’s state news agency said that the aggressive interest rate hike by the American Federal Reserve is a strategy chosen by the U.S. after repeatedly weighing its calculations, with the intention of transferring the crisis outward through the hegem

The other day when I was interviewed by Sargis Sangari, the founder of Near East Center for Strategic Engagement, he asked me a question: Will China and Asia fall into chaos after the CCP collapses? Frankly speaking, I was a little surprised by his question, as “China will fall into chaos without the CCP” is a very well-known narrative crafted by the CCP to brainwash and terrify Chinese people who don’t have access to free information. I was a little surprised that people outside China, and in the free wo

North Korea escalated tensions by launching a ballistic missile over Japan causing citizens to scramble as air sirens blared. The last time that happened was in 2017, and although no one was injured either time, the risk of the missile landing short or malfunctioning is a direct threat to the Japanese people. The U.S. and South Korea responded with a precision bombing drill of their own.

In this special episode, we sat down with Peter Navarro, former trade adviser at the White House and author of “Taking Back Trump’s America.” He sheds light on in which ways the Trump administration could have been tougher on China, what steps America needs to take now in dealing with the China threat, and more.
