It’s like a resurrection from a horror movie.Ah, the “two-tank cars.” Every holiday or festive season, people suddenly notice that the cars, usually covered in tarps under overpasses, along highways, or tucked in the grass, are nowhere to be found.

India has overtaken China as the leading smartphone exporter to the United States. Between April and June 2025, 44% of all smartphones sold in the US came from India, compared to just 25% from China. This surge is driven by Apple’s strategic shift. Once deeply tied to Chinese manufacturing, Apple has steadily moved iPhone production to India. As of April this year, India-made iPhones were worth $22 billion in exports. The shift is part of a broader trend. Samsung and Motorola are also moving some production to India. For global tech, India is emerging as the new manufacturing hub. But challenges remain. Donald Trump has threatened 25% tariffs on iPhones made in India, casting a shadow over this progress.

Behind this ideological revival stands a formidable princeling, the only top CCP figure with both military and civilian credentials. His quiet return and strategic maneuvering may prove deadly for Xi’s regime. The battle for China’s future may no longer be in Xi’s hands.

From fentanyl pouring across our borders, to secret Chinese police stations on U.S. soil, to attempts at silencing freedom of speech in our universities, while awareness of the Chinese communist regime’s insidious nature grows around the world, one group has been peacefully standing up to its atrocities for decades.It’s been more than a quarter of a century since the Chinese Communist Party launched a nationwide campaign to wipe out the spiritual group Falun Gong.Their crime? Following the tenets of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance.That persecution continues to this day. Now, the Chinese communist regime has greatly expanded its efforts to surveil and influence events beyond its own borders—even here on American soil.
