There are few people who understand the workings of Chinese espionage as well as Nicholas Eftimiades.After a 34-year government career—including time at the CIA, Department of State, and Defense Intelligence Agency—he’s now a professor at Penn State University’s Homeland Security Program and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.“China uses what we call a whole-of-society approach to conducting espionage. … We’re not talking about thousands [of people]. We’re talking about tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people engaged globally in carrying out the CCP’s will,” Eftimiades says.CHAPTER TITLES0:00:01 – Introduction to China’s Espionage Approach0:01:04 – Scale and Strategic Threat of Chinese Espionage0:02:33 – Incentive Structures and Whole-of-Society Approach0:04:58 – Case Study: Professor Charles Lieber and Technology Theft0:07:07 – Legal Implications and Punishment of Academic Espionage0:09:36 – Technology Leakage and National Security Concerns0:12:00 – Understanding Counterintelligence0:14:16 – Transnational Repression and Global Influence Operations0:16:33 – Case Study: Fang Fang and Long-Term Asset Development0:17:52 – Strategic Responses and Allied Cooperation0:20:37 – The CCP’s Obsession with Falun Gong0:22:12 – Challenges in Countering Chinese Espionage and Call to Action

Printing Money, Losing Trust: How Fiscal Games Threaten Financial StabilityThe People’s Bank of China is increasingly acting as a fiscal tool, printing money to cover government deficits, a process known as fiscal deficit monetization. Its 2025 Q1 Monetary Policy Report reveals a loss of independence, with columns defending the finance ministry’s debt levels by comparing them favorably to the U.S. and Japan, despite structural differences. The yuan’s lack of global trust and a non-market-driven bond market heighten risks, compounded by hidden local government debts. The central bank also takes blame for deflation, ignoring fiscal inaction and inequitable distribution as root causes. By shielding the finance ministry, the central bank sacrifices its credibility, risking a systemic collapse if market trust erodes. This report underscores a distorted policy system, where the central bank props up fiscal shortcomings, potentially destabilizing the financial system and currency.0:00 Intro0:06 The ATM State Unveiled0:59 A Central Bank Stripped of Power1:58 The Politicized Report Exposed2:40 The Myth of Debt Stability3:30 China’s Fragile Financial Facade4:42 The Ticking Time Bomb of Local Debt6:34 Deflation and the Central Bank’s Sacrifice7:59 The Finance Ministry’s Cunning Game9:33 A Facade of Stability11:12 The Cost of Credibility12:32 A System on the Brink13:48 The Collapse of Trust

In China, they showed the concept of the SS-UAV Jiutian UAV, a carrier of FPV drones and cruise missiles. Despite the fact that this is a concept, it is already possible to estimate in what direction the development of military unmanned vehicles will move. At the first stage, swarms of drones will appear, then they will begin to create flying drone carriers. The flight of the first UAV sample is promised in June. As reported, the Jiutian UAV is designed to launch more than 100 drones or small-sized missiles. It will have a flight range of up to 7,000 km, they plan to launch drones from an altitude of 15 km. The UAV has a modular architecture, it is possible to replace the payload in it within two hours. The SS-UAV Jiutian flying aircraft carrier will be able to carry LS-6, YL-V302 guided bombs, TL-7 (KD-88), PL-11AE and PL-12E missiles. The wingspan of the SS-UAV Jiutian UAV is 25 meters, takeoff weight is 16 tons, payload is 6 tons, flight speed is up to 700 km/h, with a duration of up to 12 hours.

The Trump administration is currently considering adding a category of “high-risk industrial materials” to the export control list. It’s not chips, nor photolithography machines, but a type of industrial adhesive tape that you may not even recognize: UV-sensitive adhesives, electromagnetic shielding films, anti-radiation coatings…

China appears to have played a more active role in Pakistan’s recent clash with India than previously known. Ashok Kumar of the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS), a think tank tied to India’s Defence Ministry, said Chinese advisers helped Pakistan realign its air defenses and adjust satellite coverage. If confirmed, these reports point to Beijing’s direct involvement in what Bloomberg and The Telegraph call South Asia’s most serious military confrontation in nearly 50 years.

Europe’s recent move is mainly due to the overwhelming number of small parcels being sent from China. In 2024, over 4.6 billion small parcels entered Europe, with 91% coming from China. This means that every second, 145 Chinese parcels enter Europe, all of which benefit from tax exemptions. France, in particular, has been overwhelmed by the low-priced parcels from Chinese e-commerce platforms. This situation has only worsened in 2025, with the number of parcels doubling compared to 2023 and quadrupling compared to 2022. The influx of Chinese goods has become so massive that many French media outlets are calling it an “invasion.”

Recently, exaggerated claims like “Quit your job and make over 10,000 yuan a month running a stall” and “You can overturn millions in debt through street vending” have flooded social media, becoming the typical “stall-running hype” aimed at workers. Meanwhile, Li Qiang, the current Premier of the Chinese Communist Party who initially opposed the “street stall economy,” now vigorously promotes it as a major favorable policy of the State Council.Join this channel to get access to perks:

Weekly news magazine The Economist has featured the Taiwan on the cover of its early May 2025 edition with the title “The Taiwan Test: It’s Closer Than You Think.” The magazine argues that the shifting geopolitical landscape under U.S. President Trump has created a potential window of opportunity for China, which would test America’s resolve. Have Trump’s trade war and other recent actions made a Chinese blockade or invasion of Taiwan more likely? Is it still possible for the United States to deter Chinese aggression? In this episode, we explore Taipei’s tenuous position between Washington and Beijing, the possibility of a cross-Strait conflict, and whether buying more U.S. arms would be enough to protect Taiwan.
