Xi Jinping is on the warpath! He’s purging top generals, including Zhang Youxia, whom the Wall Street Journal accuses of selling China’s nuclear secrets to the US! But is any of this true?

Something is unfolding in Beijing. General Zhang Youxia may not be in custody! Troops are reportedly moving. Military compounds are sealed. Subways are partially shut down. And now a sudden “nuclear leak” allegation appears in foreign media. Is this a real crackdown—or a political bluff? In this livestream, I break down what’s happening on the ground, why the system looks frozen, and why the Zhang Youxia case is far from settled.

China’s Ambassador Xio Qian has warned Australia could face retaliation if the government proceeds with plans to take back the Port of Darwin.“The Chinese government has an obligation to protect the interests… of Chinese companies overseas,” Mr Qian said.“If anything happens … we have an obligation to take measures to protect the Chinese companies’ interests.”

Japan’s Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae has taken a major political gamble, dissolving parliament less than three months after taking office and calling a snap election that effectively puts her leadership on the line. The move comes amid economic strain, a fractured ruling coalition, and rising regional security tensions driven in large part by China’s actions around Taiwan. Takaichi is seeking a renewed mandate to advance her economic agenda, secure a clearer parliamentary majority and pursue a tougher security posture. But does this rapid political reset promise stability — or greater uncertainty for Japan and the region? In this episode, we analyze the risks and calculations behind Japan’s snap election, possible outcomes, and what the vote could mean for Japan’s security policy, regional partners and Taiwan.
