If you voted for Donald Trump because of his hawkish foreign policy stance on China, you might be disappointed by his actions in his second term, argues our guest Andrew Hale, a fellow at the think tank Advancing American Freedom. He says the China “hawks” have been silenced and the “doves” (or China know-nothings) are in charge.

China’s economy is struggling—and the CCP’s answer is increasingly looking like a crackdown. As jobs disappear, real estate collapses, and consumer spending weakens, Beijing is tightening controls on the very people who might want to leave. From purged financial officials to restrictions on wealthy elites and AI talent, China’s economic crisis is turning into a freedom crisis.

China this year saw a record 12.7 million fresh university graduates, who now face an uphill battle securing stable work in an already crowded job market. Since 2020, China’s youth unemployment has been a persistent problem, forcing many young Chinese to seek work in the public sector for “iron rice bowl” jobs. Others are opting for postgraduate study to boost their future prospects or defer entering the workforce. But many have also been relying on gig work to make ends meet.

Rescuers on Saturday restored the first sharp-curve section on China’s national highway G216, preparing for full reopening of the critical lifeline to the disaster-hit border port of Gyirong in Tibet. The road had been completely destroyed by the flash flood caused by a high-altitude glacial collapse in Nepal on August 26. The torrent of water, ice, rock and debris slammed into Gyirong port and caused widespread damage as it moved downstream.

Xi Jinping Purges Top PLA Generals | Galwan-Era Commander Removed | India-China Border In Focus
Xi Jinping has intensified his crackdown on corruption and alleged discipline violations inside China’s People’s Liberation Army, with several senior military figures removed from key positions.
The latest military shake-up has drawn attention in India because of the background of some of the officials involved. A former commander of China’s Western Theater Command, which oversees the region facing India, has been removed from the party and military establishment.
The Western Theater Command played a major role during the 2017 Doklam standoff and the 2020 Galwan clash, making the latest developments particularly significant for India-China relations.
Several other senior PLA figures have also faced investigations and removal amid Xi Jinping’s broader anti-corruption campaign. The move is being viewed not only as an effort to tackle corruption but also as part of Xi’s drive to strengthen political loyalty and his control over the Chinese military.
The development comes as India-China relations, the unresolved border dispute and a possible Modi-Xi meeting at the upcoming BRICS summit remain closely watched.
Former Indian diplomat Suresh K. Goel joins the discussion to examine Xi Jinping’s military purge, the Galwan and Doklam connection, the India-China border dispute, possible areas of future cooperation and what the developments could mean for bilateral ties.
Watch the full discussion for the latest updates on Xi Jinping, China’s PLA, Galwan clash, Doklam standoff, India-China border tensions, BRICS, Narendra Modi and China military news.

Nepali authorities updated the death toll to 616 on Saturday, with more than 2,400 people missing. Chinese state media said that at least seven people died and 554 others were missing.

Scientists in China say they have created a self-exercising muscle graft that could allow bedridden people gain the benefits of working out without any physical exertion. With just an injection of muscle cells below the skin, the cells self-assemble into muscle grafts, which is said to not only improve whole-body muscle mass in mice, but also led to improvements in bone density, endurance, liver function and cognitive health.

Nepal and China both warned on Thursday of fresh risks of flooding in the Himalayas as two lakes that have developed on either side of their border threaten to burst in a region still grappling with this week’s catastrophic flood. Nepal’s disaster authority issued a notice warning that a lake formed by debris blocking a river at the flood site is rising and at risk of bursting, urging residents of lower banks, passengers and rescuers to stay away from river banks and risky areas. China warned that 3 million cubic meters of water—about 1,200 Olympic swimming pools—are expected to flow into an already dammed lake on its side of the border over the next three days, creating a high risk of a breach, with peak flow expected around September 1.

Nepal Floods: Nepal has issued an urgent warning after a dam upstream on the Tibetan side was reportedly breached, raising fears of another dangerous flood surge in the region. Authorities have urged security personnel, rescue workers and members of the public involved in relief operations to remain alert and immediately move to safer, higher ground. The fresh warning comes just days after a devastating glacial collapse triggered deadly flooding across parts of Nepal, causing widespread destruction and disrupting rescue and relief operations.
As concerns grow over rising water levels and possible additional flooding, authorities are closely monitoring the situation along vulnerable river systems and affected communities. Rescue teams are facing difficult conditions as they continue search and relief efforts in flood-hit areas.

Heavy rain is forecast at the site of the China-Nepal border disaster, raising fears of further flooding that could trigger a second catastrophe. Authorities are monitoring the levels of a lake that had formed after the flash floods that is at risk of bursting its banks. Experts say that while climate change cannot be singled out as the direct cause of the disaster, such events will not be the last. They are calling for stepped up intergovernmental coordination.

China is significantly increasing maritime pressure around Taiwan, with a record number of Chinese vessels detected near the island as Taipei moves to strengthen its defenses.
Taiwan’s Coast Guard says 244 Chinese vessels were detected around the main island in July, averaging nearly eight ships per day. The figure represents a sharp increase from 55 vessels in June and 30 in May.
The surge has raised concerns among Taiwanese officials and analysts over whether China’s growing maritime presence could be more than a show of strength, including possible preparations for undersea warfare, maritime pressure or a future blockade.
Another major concern is China’s military-civil fusion strategy, under which civilian maritime assets can potentially be requisitioned for national defense purposes. Analysts warn that commercial vessels could provide additional transport capacity during a potential military operation.
Meanwhile, Taiwan is strengthening its own defenses. The island’s opposition-controlled parliament rejected a proposed $6.6 billion special drone budget, instead approving approximately $1.26 billion annually for military drones, amounting to around $7.6 billion over six years through regular budgets.
Taiwan has also conducted a major military exercise involving more than 5,000 reservists across two brigades, highlighting Taipei’s growing focus on preparing for potential threats.
The tensions stem from Beijing’s claim that Taiwan is part of China and its refusal to rule out the use of force to take control of the self-governed island. Taiwan rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims and maintains that the People’s Republic of China has never governed Taiwan.

China is significantly increasing maritime pressure around Taiwan, with a record number of Chinese vessels detected near the island as Taipei moves to strengthen its defenses.
Taiwan’s Coast Guard says 244 Chinese vessels were detected around the main island in July, averaging nearly eight ships per day. The figure represents a sharp increase from 55 vessels in June and 30 in May.
The surge has raised concerns among Taiwanese officials and analysts over whether China’s growing maritime presence could be more than a show of strength, including possible preparations for undersea warfare, maritime pressure or a future blockade.
Another major concern is China’s military-civil fusion strategy, under which civilian maritime assets can potentially be requisitioned for national defense purposes. Analysts warn that commercial vessels could provide additional transport capacity during a potential military operation.
Meanwhile, Taiwan is strengthening its own defenses. The island’s opposition-controlled parliament rejected a proposed $6.6 billion special drone budget, instead approving approximately $1.26 billion annually for military drones, amounting to around $7.6 billion over six years through regular budgets.
Taiwan has also conducted a major military exercise involving more than 5,000 reservists across two brigades, highlighting Taipei’s growing focus on preparing for potential threats.
The tensions stem from Beijing’s claim that Taiwan is part of China and its refusal to rule out the use of force to take control of the self-governed island. Taiwan rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims and maintains that the People’s Republic of China has never governed Taiwan.

A massive mudslide and flash flood struck the Gyirong Port area along the China-Nepal border on Wednesday, leaving scores missing and over a thousand missing across both sides of the divide. The US Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed that a catastrophic ice-rock avalanche, which originally registered as a tectonic earthquake, turned into a debris flow and mudslide, sweeping down the river valley and unleashing devastating floodwaters.
