Elon Musk went on a whirlwind tour of China, glad-handing Chinese officials, dancing for Tesla workers, and eating fancy horse-themed meals. Musk relies on China for his signature business, electric carmaker Tesla. It seemed like he’s being played by China though, because he doesn’t seem to have walked away with anything tangible to show for all his boot licking.

Will Xi Jinping launch a war against Taiwan? There are two schools of thought. One school believes that the Chinese leader has already decided and that war is unavoidable and can be as early as 2025. The other school thinks the chance of a physical battle is small because Xi is risk-averse. We should understand both views’ reasonings to grasp the subject’s essence. If China attacks Taiwan, other countries will be involved and the Taiwan Strait crisis will evolve into WW3. – “The final war of 2025 in the

A lackluster recovery in China’s economy is prompting investors to change their strategies. Not only are foreign investors pulling out more money from China’s stock market, flocking to other major Asian markets instead, but shareholders of Chinese listed companies are also cashing in by reducing their holdings. Moreover, China’s A-share market is witnessing its largest delisting wave in history. Multiple indicators suggest that the Chinese stock market has entered a bear market. On June 6, China’s main A-sh

It is also the first aircraft carrier to join the fleet since USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) was del

If China were to invade Taiwan as it has threatened to do, we could see a scenario play out like the one in Ukraine, except that the invasion would be over water instead of land. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at some of the natural barriers the island of Taiwan has that could make an invasion difficult, what Taiwan’s “porcupine” strategy is, and how China might try to overcome Taiwan’s natural defenses.

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command has recently issued a detailed report, unraveling an aerial military standoff on May 26th over the South China Sea.

Flight data substantiate that the American reconnaissance flight path skirted Chinese territorial waters, at its closest, only 50 kilometers off

The US Navy has released a video of a Chinese warship crossing closely in front of a US destroyer in a flashpoint waterway. The incident in the Taiwan Strait, which the US has called unsafe, comes amid worsening ties between Washington and Beijing.

Australia is preparing for war in order to avoid it. Their historic new increase in defense spending and China’s dependence on them for iron ore make them an important ally. Australia’s defense funding for 2024 will be $35 billion USD, just over 2% of their GDP, and up from $20 billion in 2021. They’ve signed a new trilateral security agreement with the United States and United Kingdom that will give the Australian Navy a new weapon that only 6 other nations in the entire world have. Major upgrades are bei

Among those detained was 67-year-old campaigner Alexandra Wong, widely known as “Grandma Wong”. For decades, Hong Kong was the only Chinese city with a large-scale public Tiananmen commemoration. But the annual vigil has been banned since the imposition of a national security law in 2020.

A three-day carnival co-hosted by 26 pro-Beijing groups is being held in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park to mark 26 years since the city’s return to Chinese rule.
