Washington-based aircraft corporation Boeing is in talks to sell as many as 500 jets to China, according to Bloomberg News.”This is wonderful news for Washington [state], obviously, with new jobs,” aviation expert Michael Boyd said.If the 500 plane deal goes through, this would be the first major deal between China and Boeing in years. Since 2019, Boeing has only recorded 30 orders from China.”China cut Boeing off about five years ago. Since then, they have been doing business with Airbus. I think China understands they need Boeing,” Boyd said. “This is Boeing throwing them a lifeline because they need those airplanes.”Boyd said while the deal is big for Boeing and jobs in the state, this also sends a large message on the global aviation scale.”This also goes out and tells the entire world that Boeing and Airbus are back in the program and there’s no one really to argue with them,” he said.Boyd further stated, “This is the end of the Chinese airliner manufacturing.”He said despite China having a rapidly growing air transportation system, what they have in terms of aircraft is old. And while Boyd said China will rely on Boeing for a new fleet, the question will be whether the company can deliver.————————————————–

Hong Kong was once Asia’s freest city — a place of neon lights, booming markets, and unstoppable creativity. But Beijing’s tightening grip turned a global hub into a political prison. From the Umbrella Movement to the National Security Law, freedom was erased piece by piece — and with it, the prosperity that made Hong Kong unique.This video breaks down how killing culture killed the cash, why investors fled, and what lessons Taiwan and the world must take from Hong Kong’s fall.#HongKong #China #Freedom #Democracy #Taiwan #Geopolitics #Markets

Despite the warm relationship between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Trump’s first term, India was among the countries hit hardest by Trump’s latest tariffs. India was even punished with secondary sanctions for purchasing Russian oil, while Beijing dodged the same levies despite being Moscow’s largest trading partner. Burned by Washington, New Delhi is now turning towards its long-time rival. So far, the results are mixed. India has gained access to China’s rare earths, but also found itself in a fresh diplomatic spat after claiming the Chinese Foreign Ministry ‘misquoted’ its stance on Taiwan. Can India and China move beyond their border disputes and decades of distrust? And how does Tibet fit into their relationship? Join our discussion with two South Asia foreign policy experts about what these latest developments mean for India, China and Taiwan. *Recorded on August 21, 2025 at 2:30pm Taiwan Standard TimeHost: Yin KhvatOur guests:Sana Hashmi Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation FellowChen Ping-kuei National Chengchi University Department of Diplomacy ProfessorChapters:00:00:00 – Are India-China Relations Thawing00:02:22 – Has Trump Pushed India Towards China?00:08:03 – New Delhi Gains Rare Earth Access00:14:12 – India: ‘misquoted’ on Taiwan Stance00:19:24 – Tibet’s Role in India-China Ties#IndiaChinaRelations #IndiaUSRelations #WangYi #SJaishankar #DonaldTrump #XiJinping #NickiHaley #TrumpTariffs #USTariffs #TradeTalks #RussiaSanctions #RussianOil #SecondarySanctions #IndianForeignPolicy #ChineseForeignPolicy #RareEarths #RareEarthMinerals #RareEarthMetals #BorderDispute #ChinaIndiaBorder #2020ChinaIndiaBorderConflict #ChineseMilitary #IndianMilitary #PeoplesLiberationArmy #PLA #Taiwan #TaiwanIndiaRelations #TaiwanStrait #Tibet #Megadam #DalaiLama #ChineseCommunistParty #CCP #PRC #TaiwanTalks

Evergrande, once China’s largest property developer, delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Monday, ending a 16-year run. The company’s market value, which at one time peaked at US$51 billions, has now plunged to about US$280 million. TaiwanPlus speaks with Gary Ng from financial firm Natixis for more on the story.

On September 3rd, Tiananmen Square will host a military parade Beijing calls a celebration of victory. But behind the flags and missiles lies a storm of fear, purges, and political intrigue. For Xi Jinping, it could be the most dangerous event of his life. The parade marshal still hasn’t been named. Ammunition and troops are stationed just a kilometer from Zhongnanhai. Forty-four generals have fallen in three years. Xi’s once-loyal aides have vanished or been demoted. Will this parade show strength—or expose Xi’s weakness? The world is watching, because anything could happen on that day.

Eighty years after it played a pivotal role in World War 2, the Pacific island of Tinian in the Northern Marianas (CNMI) has reemerged as a critical part of “America’s Asian frontline”. In August 1945, Tinian’s North Field was the site where the world’s nuclear bomb was loaded onto the Enola Gay, before being dropped on Hiroshima. The same airstrip was recently cleared of decades of jungle overgrowth. Located less than 3,000km from Taiwan, this U.S. overseas territory forms part of the ‘Second Island Chain’ in the U.S. strategy to contain China. Last month, however, the governor died abruptly after repeatedly warning of growing Chinese influence as well as domestic corruption. What role would Tinian play in a potential Taiwan Strait conflict? And how concerned should we be about the late governor’s warnings? Join us as we discuss the escalating race among Beijing, Washington and their allies for geopolitical influence in the Pacific.

On the early morning of August 22, around 3:00 AM, workers were busy with the steel strand tensioning operations on the key section of the Qingshai segment of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, preparing for the final connection of the Jianzha Yellow River Super Bridge. The site was brightly lit. Suddenly, a loud crash shattered the quiet night as several crucial steel strands snapped, causing the bridge to lose its tension. In just 3 seconds, the 108-meter steel beam collapsed, and parts of the structure plunged into the fast-moving Yellow River below.Surveillance footage captured this dramatic moment: construction equipment, including cranes, fell into the river, and several workers fell from different heights on the platform.

In today’s video, I uncover one of the darkest truths behind China’s housing bubble: how young women are turning to sugar dating just to afford a shot at owning property in Beijing. From luxury bags and BMWs to collapsing apartment values, this isn’t just about one girl—it’s about a broken system where morality has been traded for materialism. Welcome to the real story of China’s “Sugar Baby Landlords.”Hashtags:#ChinaHousingCrisis #SugarBaby #BeijingProperty #ChinaCollapse #RealEstateBubble #ChinaEconomy #YouthCrisis #LyingFlatGeneration #YouthUnemployment

China’s economy relies heavily on government borrowing to sustain exports, investment, and consumption. Massive infrastructure projects, subsidies, and handouts have driven GDP growth but pushed the macro leverage ratio past 300%, outpacing most nations. While developed economies deleverage, China’s debt surges, with households and businesses nearing their limits. This approach, rooted in a 2008 stimulus, prioritizes stability over returns, risking a debt crisis by 2030. Alternatives like structural reforms or cash transfers are politically costly and slow, leaving borrowing as the default. U.S. tariffs and global isolation add pressure, with China’s fiscal space shrinking. If unchecked, China could face Japan-level debt within five years, undermining its global standing. The U.S., leveraging its consumer power, may outlast China’s debt-fueled strategy, potentially leading to an economic collapse without direct confrontation.

Donald Trump brokered peace between Armenia & Azerbaijan! That bought the US influence in the Caucasus—right in the midst of China’s Belt & Road Initiative!

Are we choosing to lose the next war?That question might sound harsh, but I’m dead serious. Right now, America—and many of our allies—appear to be sleepwalking when it comes to critical military and technological innovations. Meanwhile, countries like China are pouring billions into STEM education, AI, and drone warfare, rapidly catching up (and in some cases overtaking) our capabilities.In 2020 alone, China graduated 3.57 million students in STEM fields, compared to America’s mere 413,000. Sure, not every degree is legit, but numbers don’t lie. China’s aggressive investment in AI, electronic warfare, and drone tech is paying off, potentially tipping the scales in their favor for future conflicts.Why does this matter? Because wars today—and tomorrow—are going to hinge on technology. If the U.S. can’t innovate faster, we risk losing our technological edge, putting ourselves and our allies at serious risk. Drones, CRPAs, electronic warfare—these aren’t just buzzwords, they’re the future of conflict. And right now, America is barely keeping pace.

On August 12, 2025, China’s state broadcaster CCTV released rare operational footage of the DF-100 (CJ-100) supersonic cruise missile, showcasing its vertical cold-launch system, transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) configuration, and rapid deployment capability. Designed for both conventional and nuclear payloads, the DF-100 can strike high-value targets across the Indo-Pacific, including Japan, Guam, and the South China Sea, at speeds between Mach 3 and Mach 5. This unveiling marks a key moment in China’s military modernization, sending a powerful message to regional rivals amid heightened tensions in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea.In this video, we break down the DF-100’s range, propulsion, guidance systems, and its place in global missile technology compared to the U.S. and Russian systems, while exploring the strategic implications for the Indo-Pacific security environment.

Beijing’s subversive plan to seize Taiwan through political maneuvering is now in high gear—and it’s making real progress. Just look at the recent failed attempts to recall pro-CCP legislators in Taiwan, alongside the political shifts in South Korea. The tide has tilted in Beijing’s favor, emboldening the CCP’s ambitions. In Xi Jinping’s vision, there will be no 2028 elections in Taiwan.0:37 Recent CCP directives on Taiwan strategy2:35 Beijing’s three-step takeover plan7:31 The CCP’s progress inside Taiwan12:25 The same playbook in South Korea and Hong Kong

Things in China are getting bad!

The Philippines and Australia are preparing to sign a new defense pact next year, which will include more frequent joint military drills and support for developing defense infrastructure in the Philippines.

In early August 2025, a brutal bullying case in Jiangyou, Sichuan, ignited one of the most explosive grassroots protests China has seen in years. Thousands took to the streets demanding justice—not just for one girl, but against a system that protects the powerful and silences the weak. As police cracked down with violence and censorship, citizens pushed back with fury and courage. Pamphlets and posters calling for a national movement have appeared. Could this be the spark that ignites a broader awakening—like the Sichuan Railway Protection Movement that ended the Qing Dynasty?

The empire that once stunned the world with skyscrapers, highways, and unstoppable construction is now facing its greatest collapse. China’s cement industry, once the foundation of its economic miracle, is crumbling—and with it, the illusion of endless growth.For decades, cement symbolized China’s rise. Entire cities were built in record time, fueled by real estate booms and massive infrastructure projects. But now, cement production has fallen to its weakest level since 2009, signaling a devastating slowdown in domestic demand. This is not a small dip—it’s the collapse of the very engine that powered China’s global rise.Behind the cement crash lies a much deeper crisis: a collapsing property market, bankrupt developers, stalled projects, shrinking loans, and fading consumer confidence. The construction frenzy that once defined China’s unstoppable growth is over, replaced by uncertainty, inefficiency, and structural decline.Meanwhile, the US-China trade war looms in the background, threatening even more instability. As Beijing struggles with a fragile ceasefire and global pressure, the cracks in its economic foundation are widening.This is the story of how China’s miracle is unraveling—from cement to skyscrapers, from real estate to trade wars. The boom is over. The question is: what replaces it?#ChinaCollapse #EconomicCrisis #USChina

All eyes are on Xi Jinping as he reappears in Tibet after weeks of rumors about his health and political survival. At Beidaihe, Party elders struck a fragile “four-point consensus” that keeps Xi in place—for now—while quietly preparing his exit. But the real power play is unfolding in the streets of Beijing, where tanks, troop carriers, and live ammunition have turned parade rehearsals into something that looks more like a coup drill. General Zhang Youxia and the 82nd Army are moving into position. Is this a parade to glorify Xi—or the beginning of his downfall?1) The Beidaihe Consensus2) Xi’s Tibet trip3) Coup or parade preparations?
