China fumed as a British warship transited the international waters of the Taiwan Strait on June 18 for the first time in four years. The U.K. said the passage fully complied with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It comes as Japan is also increasing its transits in line with the U.S.’s freedom of navigation operations through the Taiwan Strait. But how is this linked to a proposed change in Taiwan’s “Cross-Strait Act”, an amendment that civic groups have raised concerns about? Are those fears substantiated and how divided is Taiwan? Is China always the winner if Taiwan is divided, and how can the nation overcome this?

Mike Baker is joined by Stephen Yates of the Heritage Foundation to unpack China’s silence during the recent Iran-Israel war—including the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Why didn’t Beijing speak up? Was it strategic restraint—or something more revealing? Yates breaks down what China’s muted response says about its ambitions in the Middle East, its relationship with Iran, and its rivalry with the United States.

China once stunned the world with its rapid growth, high-speed rail, and tech giants. But now? Behind the glowing GDP numbers lies a deeper story — of debt, decline, and control.In this in-depth video, we break down:🔹 How China rose from colonial humiliation to global superpower🔹 The “golden years” of explosive growth — and the real cost behind it🔹 Cracks in the system: youth unemployment, property crashes, falling birth rates🔹 Why the economy is slowing, and how the government is hiding it🔹 The global response — and how companies are moving out of China🔹 The Xi Jinping era: control, censorship, and growing uncertainty

Taiwan and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark three-pillar trade deal in Taipei focusing on digital trade, energy cooperation and investment opportunities. It was attended by British trade minister Douglas Alexander, who also met with President Lai Ching-te.

The Chinese economy is a ponzi scheme. And the house of cards are falling.

In the first four months of 2025, China’s car exports to Russia plummeted to just 155,000 units, nearly half of the 305,000 units sold during the same period in 2024. April alone saw a dramatic 70% drop in sales, marking a sharp decline from the previous high.

Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang weighs in on the China-U.S. trade deal, the NATO chief’s warning about China’s military and more during ‘Mornings with Maria.’

At one point, Iran, with strong support from Beijing, prominently showcased its so-called air defense “iron curtain,” missile capabilities, and drone swarms. However, by June 2025, in the face of a joint U.S.-Israel strike, the military system built with over a decade of investment and hundreds of billions in military aid has crumbled. Air defense systems were crippled, command networks were severed, and fewer than a hundred missile launchers remained operational.

The bombing of Iran was devastating for China. Decades of careful planing is all turning to dust.

Trump has announced that the United States has signed a groundbreaking trade deal with China—one that “starts to open up China.” But the details are being kept under wraps. Why? Because this deal is a bombshell that could expose Xi Jinping’s biggest secret. According to a Chinese insider, the agreement opens China’s markets to American firms, levels the playing field for foreign businesses, and dismantles Beijing’s use of rare earths as political leverage. Xi Jinping is reportedly furious about the deal. So why the secrecy? It was requested by China’s Party Elders—who are now sidelining Xi behind closed doors. Their plan? To formally announce Xi’s downfall in the coming months. When exactly? A Taiwanese media outlet may have just dropped a hint.

The US Air Force has raised concerns over China’s growing missile capabilities and its development of a sophisticated “kill web” system. This network could enable rapid strikes on US forces and its territories, including Alaska. #usa #china #taiwan

It originated from a YouTube video posted by Edward WenMing, revealing a scandalous affair between China’s First Lady, Peng Liyuan, and a mid-level district official in Shanghai named Zhou Zhitong. But what truly makes this explosive isn’t just the personal scandal—it’s the calculated political strike behind it, orchestrated by General Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, aimed squarely at Xi Jinping’s power core.

Taiwan Vice President Bi-khim Hsiao says she will not be intimidated by China after Chinese diplomats reportedly followed her during her visit to Prague last year.

What does this mean for Korea-China relations?

On May 10, 2025, a freight train carrying electronics, mechanical parts, and food left Xi’an, China. It crossed 5,500 kilometers of desert and highlands, arriving in Tehran, Iran, on May 24. This marked the official operation of the first train on the China-Iran railway.Chinese state media celebrated the event, calling it a “lifeline” for oil between China and Iran, challenging the traditional power dynamics dominated by the U.S. Navy. On social media platforms like Douyin,influencers were excited, especially after June 19, with many videos suggesting that Israel’s airstrikes on Iran were a response to the railway, as it posed a direct challenge to U.S. sanction

Is Chinese Authoritarianism Really More Efficient Than Democracy? Here’s the Truth.We’ve all heard it:“China’s system is more efficient.”“Authoritarianism delivers results.”“Democracy is too messy and slow.”But what if that’s one of the most dangerous lies of the 21st century?In this video, I take on the myth that authoritarian rule is the key to China’s rise—and show why that narrative is not only wrong, but deeply misleading. Yes, China built highways, megacities, and ports at record speed. Yes, hundreds of millions were lifted out of poverty. But that had nothing to do with authoritarianism—and everything to do with the exact opposite.China’s boom began when it turned away from Maoist central planning and embraced market reforms, globalization, and the Western-led global order. Deng Xiaoping didn’t prove that authoritarianism works—he proved it didn’t.Now, under Xi Jinping, that fragile balance is collapsing.Zero-COVID paranoia.Tech crackdowns.Vanishing billionaires.Youth unemployment surging.Investor confidence evaporating.This isn’t “efficient governance.” It’s fear, fragility, and stagnation wrapped in propaganda.Meanwhile, India—the world’s largest democracy—gets written off because it’s slower. But speed isn’t everything. Resilience is. Democracies can correct themselves. Authoritarian regimes can’t. Just ask Russia. Or Venezuela. Or history.🔍 In this episode, we break down:Why China’s growth happened despite authoritarianism, not because of itHow Xi Jinping has reversed China’s momentumThe myth of “efficiency” vs. the reality of fragilityWhy democracy, for all its messiness, still wins on sustainabilityThe real reasons China is losing trust, innovation, and talent📌 We cover everything from the Great Leap Forward to Karl Popper’s insights on power—and why freedom isn’t a luxury; it’s a survival mechanism.This is not an abstract debate. It’s a global turning point.If you’ve ever been told China’s system “works better,” watch this video. And if you believe in freedom, press play—and share it.👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Are Xi Jinping’s recent purges of high-ranking military officers following the logic of Stalin’s during the Great Purge of the 1930s in the Soviet Union? Our guests, Chen Fang-yu and John Eastwood, compare and contrast.

China is quietly building a fleet of warships that not only sail smart, they think smart, especially when they’re in action. These vessels are more than heavily armed platforms. They’re part of a strategic revolution. They no longer rely on vulnerable, foreign-controlled systems like GPS. Instead, they operate with quantum navigation, AI battle networks, and autonomous decision-making frameworks, and that’s what’s keeping U.S. defense planners awake at night.Welcome back to Race to Space, your go-to channel for decoding military technology and peering into the very real future of global warfare. Today, we’re diving into something that may sound like it belongs in a sci-fi novel… but it’s already being tested on China’s open seas. This is the rise of AI-powered, quantum-navigated warships, a game-changing fusion of advanced physics and machine intelligence that could render traditional naval tactics obsolete.

U.S. military officials have sounded fresh warnings about China’s expanding missile arsenal and space-based strike capabilities. In a Senate hearing, the U.S. Air Force revealed Beijing now has over 900 short-range ballistic missiles aimed at Taiwan and more than 470 intelligence satellites fueling a fast-evolving “kill web” system that could enable near-instant attacks on U.S. and allied forces.📹 Reporter(s): TaiwanPlus#TaiwanPlus #TaiwanPlusNews #TaiwanNews #US #military #Missile #Satellite
