China is increasingly active in Europe. Serbia has a particularly close relationship with China: Since 2010, the Chinese have invested some $8.5 billion there.

But the story is complex: While Chinese companies are buying up the eastern part of the country around the Bor copper mine and extracting raw materials there on a large scal

It’s not uncommon to hear people say that China doesn’t invent their own military technologies, but rather steals technologies from other nations through espionage and cyber warfare. This isn’t entirely true, as China does have a sprawling academic infrastructure aimed specifically at advancing a variety of military technologies… But it’s not entirely untrue either.

After more than a dozen senior Chinese military officials were removed from office in just the last week of December and a slew of further reaching corruption charges, dismissals, and even a mysterious death or two massed throughout the rest of 2023, it has become evident that something is seriously wrong in the highest echelons of China’s Defense apparatus. And according to an explosive new report from Bloomberg, the problems may be so extensive that they’re forcing Chinese President Xi Jinping to rethink

China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang has been missing for 3 weeks. He is one of China’s rising top diplomats promoted on a fast track by Xi Jinping. His absence caused many speculations and rumors: from an extramarital affair to his mistress being a foreign agent to his political conflict with the top leadership. Beijing attributed his absence to health reasons. It seems that his disappearance is anything but health-related. It’s a sign of the CCP’s internal political struggle.

In many countries, local governments can technically declare bankruptcy, but this is not feasible in China. China’s executive-dominant social structure, in which central power dominates absolutely, would lead to incalculable consequences if a government runs out of money or faces problems. In recent years, we have often seen news about pay cuts or wage arrears for civil servants and teachers, but these are sectors that do not greatly impact social stability. However, if wages for city management and public
