Is #China getting closer to setting up a #spy base in America’s backyard? The White House is responding after news broke that Cuba allegedly agreed to host a Chinese spy base just 100 miles from Florida. If realized, Beijing could tap the communications of many U.S. military bases and American ship traffic. 00:00 Intro 00:49 China Building Spy Base in Cuba: Report 03:25 China Pushes ‘Hate Americans’ Education for Students 05:13 China Opens Confucius Institute in Saudi Arabia 07:00 China’s Grain Hoarding H

The economic and population crises are pressing issues that the Chinese authorities are compelled to face and resolve urgently. What should be done about the plummeting birthrate and the fact that young people are not getting married? Efforts from top to bottom need to be mobilized. We’ve seen suggestions from experts at the National People’s Congress in recent years that marriage should be encouraged from a young age, proposing that 18-year-olds should be able to get married. On university campuses, the ch

Xi Jinping recently warned his top national security officials that they need to think about “worst case scenarios” and to prepare for “stormy seas”. That’s because China is facing threats from all sides. Internally it’s facing rising resistance from Chinese citizens. It’s neighbors, fed up with its bullying, are starting to fight back. And the more China talks about taking over Taiwan, the more the US tries to counter China’s military capabilities and slow its technological development. In this episode of

Billionaire Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX, and other companies, arrived in Beijing on May 30. This was his first visit to China in more than three years. His visit came at a time of growing tensions between Washington and Beijing. Beijing received Musk’s visit with a very high profile. It far surpassed previous visits to Beijing by JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. There should be a win-win expectation in the plans of

Renowned Chinese “Wolf Warrior and Pro-Unification Scholar” Li Yi once again made radical statements on his YouTube channel “Li Yi Views the World” at the end of May. He believes that if China loses 140 million people in the process of unifying the Taiwan Province, this is merely a small matter in human history, equivalent to the American Civil War. #chinataiwan #chinausa #taiwanstrait #chinaobserver

Recently, the topic of “buying 8 houses for 100,000 yuan” and “buying a house for a thousand yuan” in Hebi City of Henan province has sparked heated discussion online. It’s important to know that although housing prices are falling, even in third and fourth tier cities, the average price of a house is not less than 5,000 yuan per square meter, let alone tens of thousands of yuan per square meter in first-tier cities. So, why are houses in Hebi city so cheap? According to mainland media reports, from October

Amid a cheering crowd, the C919, China’s first domestically produced large passenger aircraft, completed its commercial maiden flight on May 28, 2023, and officially entered the civil aviation market. The Chinese Communist Party CCP media claimed that China has finally said goodbye to the history of “800 million shirts for one plane.” What does that mean? It means that at a time when China was technologically backward, it only had shirts, not planes, and had to use the profits from exporting 800 million shi

India learned some hard lessons from the Covid 19 pandemic, and one of them was that supply chain security is national security. India is now taking a hard look at its supply lines and seeing where its vulnerabilities lie so it can become as self sufficient as possible. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss economic weaning from China, India’s drive for self sufficiency, and how China is using its asymmetric warfare by stoking racial divisions. Joining us in this episode is Dr. Dheeraj Paramesha

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

Recently, the U.S. Navy’s next-generation supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) set sail from Naval Station Norfolk on its first combat deployment. The deployment comes nearly six years after its delivery from Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Newport News Shipbuilding and subsequent commissioning in 2017, marking the first new-design aircraft carrier delivered to the Navy since USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in 1975. It is also the first aircraft carrier to join the fleet since USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) was del

Chinese fast fashion giant #SHEIN is under #scrutiny over concerns of forced labor in its supply chain. The company is taking several steps to offset those allegations, including launching a lobbying campaign in Washington. It’s also talking up its new status as a Singapore-based company after relocating its headquarters there from Nanjing, China. But critics aren’t convinced, saying SHEIN needs to do more to clear its name in the coming months. 00:00 Intro 00:57 SHEIN Tries to Clear Name with DC Lobby Cam

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. Released video footage shows a Chinese J-16 fighter jet obstructing the flight path of an American RC-135V electronic reconnaissance aircraft, compelling the U.S. pilot to traverse through the turbulent wake of the J-16. Flight data substantiate that the American reconnaissance flight path skirted Chinese territorial waters, at its closest, only 50 kilometers off

A Chinese warship came within 150 yards of an American destroyer in the Taiwan Strait during a joint Canada-United States mission in the region, according to a Canadian news outlet aboard a nearby vessel. The near collision is the latest example of potential aggression from the Chinese military. NBC News’ Monica Alba reports.

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

Police in Hong Kong have arrested pro-democracy activists on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. 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.
