#Taiwan is celebrating its National Day. Marking the occasion, the island’s president says a #War between Taiwan and China is “absolutely not an option.” #ElonMusk is offering a proposal: Taiwan hands over some control to Beijing, and becomes a “special administrative region” of China. But Taiwan says its freedom isn’t for sale.

In 2002, some Falun Gong practitioners in Chongqing, China, managed to hijack a Chinese state run TV signal and air footage countering the CCP’s propaganda of Falun Gong. One of those practitioners was Daxiong, a world-renowned comic book artist, who, unlike most others, managed to escape alive and flee to the US. The movie Eternal Spring is a suspenseful and gut-wrenching retelling of that true story, beautifully illustrated by Daxiong’s own pen and turned into 3D animation. It is the first documentary, f

Since the summer of 2020, China’s real estate developers have been experiencing a succession of debt crises that have led to the collapse of developments and a sharp decline in real estate investment, housing sales and new construction. The owners who were unfortunate enough to purchase unfinished units have tried fighting for their rights in various ways. Some have moved into the broken buildings and some have refused to pay their mortgage. As the 20th National Congress is to be held on October 16, the aut

China’s communist power struggle could be coming to a head with the 20th national party congress meeting later this month. It’s widely believed that current leader Xi Jinping will secure an almost unprecedented third term in office, which would be a blow to his arch nemesis and political rival Jiang Zemin. In this episode of China Uncensored, we break down the factional struggle, how it became a life-or-death wrestling match, and what it could mean if Xi gets a third term in office.

In this special episode, we sat down with Levi Browde, executive director of the Falun Gong Information Center. He sheds light on how the persecution of Falun Gong in China is a reflection of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) greater goals against the free world, and more, in the newly released report Pandemic, Persecution, and Pushback. He noted: “What started out as a suppression of a sort of religious minority has turned into really, from the CCP’s perspective, a desperate battle to silence a very br

Chinese state-owned Fujian Jinhua was criminally charged by the US Department of Justice for stealing the intellectual property of Idaho-based Micron Technology Inc. The US charged that Fujian Jinhua conspired with Taiwanese chipmaker United Microelectronics Corp. to steal Micron’s trade secrets. Separate from the criminal charges, the US slapped sanctions on Fujian Jinhua, and shortly after the sanctions were announced, it was forced to stop production. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about t

Since the Tiananmen Square incident on June 4th, 1989, a memorial service has been held in Washington, D.C. annually on June 4th, with the theme of vindicating the June 4 Incident. However, since 2005, the memorial theme has changed to calling upon members of the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, to quit the party. As we entered the year 2022, the global movement to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations has become widespread in China and among overseas Chinese communities. Organizers of the campaig

Thirty-one more Chinese companies were added to Washington’s “unverified” list—which makes it harder for them to import advanced U.S. #Technology. Tech giant #IBM is investing $20 billion in New York, boosting U.S. microchip manufacturing and reducing U.S. dependence on Asia. Data on U.S. election workers was stored in China.

China’s economy and military wouldn’t be able to survive without Taiwan’s high-tech microchips, an issue China will face if it decides to invade Taiwan. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss what Taiwan is doing to restrict microchip trade to China, what could be done about a chip shortage if China were to invade Taiwan and how that would affect the world economy. Joining us in this episode is Chris Miller, the author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.

Taiwan has threatened to treat any incursions by China into its airspace as a “first strike”, and promised retaliation. China’s economy is lagging behind the rest of East Asia, and predictions for its growth are pretty dismal. The Solomon Islands has now signed a security agreement with the US and other Pacific Island nations, but not without a hitch. Watch this episode of China Uncensored for that and more of this week’s China news headlines.

Modern life depends on microchips for the function of everything tech, from microwaves to phones to airplanes to drones. As important as microchips are though, their supply chain is just as fragile. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about the importance of microchips to the world economy, how a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could break the microchip supply chain, and how China is trying to shore up its chip manufacturing to insulate it from supply chain breaks.

When China wants to catch up to the US, it doesn’t usually pour tons of money into R&D to develop its own expertise. If it can’t steal what it needs, it hires individuals or companies to give it to them. American companies and specialists have been lured to China by lucrative contract deals to help build China’s lagging semiconductor industry. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about how effective this has been for China, how the US has made Huawei a shell of its former self, and how US export c

In recent years, a controversial street food, Luosifen (螺蛳粉), has taken China by storm. Some people say it’s extremely stinky, a foul, sour smell that penetrates the soul after consumption; others think it is very fragrant, and they are convinced that “if you eat luosifen three times, there’s no way you won’t be addicted”. Luosifen, translated as “snail rice noodle”, is a traditional snack in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, which can be described as a combination of “stinky, spicy, fresh, fragrant and sour”.
