Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has not held onto power because of his popularity with the people, but despite it. This is thanks to the help of China, specifically Chinese money and security. This corrupt dictator has quashed protests, bribed his opponents, delayed elections and set the Solomon Islands up to become a military base for the Chinese Communist Party. In this episode of China Uncensored, we sit down with one of his former advisors, Celsus Talifilu, who later went to work for So

And it has reportedly sent specialists from the US military to train the Taiwanese military. But the question remains, is all this enough to deter China? Can the US prevent China from going to war to take Taiwan? In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss what the US can do to prevent a war over Taiwan, whether the West

#Chinainsights Why didn’t the PLA test-fire missiles this time? It’s likely related to what happened in August 2022. At that time, in retaliation against U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, the CCP conducted military exercises and fired 11 missiles, 5 of which landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone. The biggest problem for the CCP is that Taiwan won’t be fighting alone. The Chinese navy is blocked by the long chain of the first island. As long as the U.S. and other nations work tog

Although there are factors of global economic downturn, the main reason for all of this is the Chinese Communist Party’s three-year strict execution of its zero-COVID policy

President Joe Biden has committed the US to defending Taiwan militarily from an invasion by China.

During the last decades, China had an unprecedented economic growth. It became the world’s largest exporter. In other words, it became the world’s factory. And the key element driving its economic growth was its huge working-age population. In other words, the factor that played a central role in China’s economic model was its cheap labor force. However, to the surprise of many, China today, not only is no longer a cheap country, but in global terms, it is even expensive. So, the questions are: why is Chine

Speed up! Through the rainforest, across the sea… for those who can’t fly The Great Escape is a familiar yet unfamiliar history to the Chinese people.

The topic we will explore today is: China is already considered rich, so why does it fail to retain its people? In addition to the Chinese who have fled to other countries

China is terrified of minorities. Many of China’s ethnic minorities live in regions that want to become autonomous from China, and their different language, writing systems, culture and history present a problem for the Han Chinese overlords who want to make China one big united country.
