In the run-up to Taiwan’s presidential election, government officials and NGOs say the island has been targeted by thousands of disinformation attacks.

He was a key figure in American foreign policy in the second half of the 20th century. As National Security Advisor first and later as Secretary of State under Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger was regarded for years as the public face of realpolitik, pragmatism above all. Kissinger was one of the main architects of the opening up of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, the end of the Vietnam War, and the initiation of peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt. He also im

For the US and its allies, stopping an invasion of Taiwan is preferable to defending Taiwan after it happens. But US policy towards Taiwan may be working contrary to that goal. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss US policy on Taiwan, how it’s potentially putting Taiwan at risk, and how China gauges US weakness. Joining us in this episode is Ian Easton, senior director of the Project 2049 Institute and author of the new book, The Final Struggle: Inside China’s Global Strategy.

The development in Russia in the past 24 hours has been dramatic. The conflict between the mercenary group Wagner and the Russian military leaders escalated into a coup attempt. But then, the crisis suddenly ended as the group leader Prigozhin agreed to withdraw the troops. This development drew the vast interest of the Chinese as they compared the Russian problem to a similar situation in the event of a war in the Taiwan Strait -What do Chinese citizens believe? -The effect on the Chinese PLA and CCP l

During the early years of Foxconn’s brilliant development, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook almost exclusively gave iPhone manufacturing contracts to Foxconn, earning the company the nickname of “Apple’s designated manufacturer”. After all, Foxconn’s founder Terry Gou had earned massive profits by relying on Apple orders, allowing Foxconn to dominate China’s manufacturing industry and even earning Gou the title of Taiwan’s richest person. It’s not an exaggeration to say that even with just Apple’s orders, Foxconn’s bu

Is Taiwan preparing to arm itself? While it’s certainly early to say for sure, one of Taiwan’s main political parties has said it would lay down the country’s arms if elected to the presidency. And China is rooting hard for that party to win. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss how China is meddling in Taiwan’s elections, controversy surrounding the head of the Taiwan People’s Party Ko Wen-je, and what it could mean for Taiwan if he wins. Joining us in this episode is Guermantes Lailari, a retir

There has been a lot of speculation that Covid-19 not only came from a lab, but that it was developed by the Chinese military as a bioweapon. A report in The Sunday Times doesn’t prove that connection, but does show that the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the virus is most likely to have leaked from, does have a connection to the Chinese military, the PLA. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at previously classified diplomatic cables from the US embassy in Taiwan, how the Wuhan Institute of Vir

China has been shooting missiles at Taiwan, sending military planes into the air identification zone next to its airspace, and attempting the control the Taiwan strait. This is all part of China’s attempt to intimidate Taiwan, using psychological warfare make Taiwan submit before the first shot is ever fired. However there’s another tactic that they’re using, which can be seen by the drones that are buzzing all around Taiwan.

Xi Jinping recently warned his top national security officials that they need to think about “worst case scenarios” and to prepare for “stormy seas”. That’s because China is facing threats from all sides. Internally it’s facing rising resistance from Chinese citizens. It’s neighbors, fed up with its bullying, are starting to fight back. And the more China talks about taking over Taiwan, the more the US tries to counter China’s military capabilities and slow its technological development. In this episode of

Renowned Chinese “Wolf Warrior and Pro-Unification Scholar” Li Yi once again made radical statements on his YouTube channel “Li Yi Views the World” at the end of May. He believes that if China loses 140 million people in the process of unifying the Taiwan Province, this is merely a small matter in human history, equivalent to the American Civil War. #chinataiwan #chinausa #taiwanstrait #chinaobserver

Elon Musk went on a whirlwind tour of China, glad-handing Chinese officials, dancing for Tesla workers, and eating fancy horse-themed meals. Musk relies on China for his signature business, electric carmaker Tesla. It seemed like he’s being played by China though, because he doesn’t seem to have walked away with anything tangible to show for all his boot licking.

Will Xi Jinping launch a war against Taiwan? There are two schools of thought. One school believes that the Chinese leader has already decided and that war is unavoidable and can be as early as 2025. The other school thinks the chance of a physical battle is small because Xi is risk-averse. We should understand both views’ reasonings to grasp the subject’s essence. If China attacks Taiwan, other countries will be involved and the Taiwan Strait crisis will evolve into WW3. – “The final war of 2025 in the

If China were to invade Taiwan as it has threatened to do, we could see a scenario play out like the one in Ukraine, except that the invasion would be over water instead of land. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at some of the natural barriers the island of Taiwan has that could make an invasion difficult, what Taiwan’s “porcupine” strategy is, and how China might try to overcome Taiwan’s natural defenses.

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command has recently issued a detailed report, unraveling an aerial military standoff on May 26th over the South China Sea. Released video footage shows a Chinese J-16 fighter jet obstructing the flight path of an American RC-135V electronic reconnaissance aircraft, compelling the U.S. pilot to traverse through the turbulent wake of the J-16. Flight data substantiate that the American reconnaissance flight path skirted Chinese territorial waters, at its closest, only 50 kilometers off

Tention in the United States is once more increasing. Taiwan is still a major flashpoint, and the most recent due to China’s refusal to engage in military negotiations, the superpowers are essentially at a standstill over Taiwan and the South China Sea territorial issues.

– #Weapons of mass destruction may be on the table for a certain Indo-Pacific #island. Reports say Taiwan could be in talks to come under Washington’s “nuclear umbrella.” That would trigger the United States to retaliate in kind if Taiwan were to come under nuclear attack from Beijing. For decades, the U.S. nuclear umbrella has shielded Japan, South Korea, and Australia. There are mixed reactions to the reported proposal, with some saying it would help boost Taiwan’s security while others are more cautious.

Under #attack? Critical U.S. infrastructure—infiltrated. All fingers pointing to state-sponsored Chinese #hackers. Microsoft warning the attack singled out the U.S. island territory of Guam, raising national security concerns. But was Taiwan the intended target? That’s due to Guam being the centerpiece of any U.S. military response to a Taiwan invasion. And it goes further.

In this episode of China Uncensored, we debunk 7 things everyone gets wrong about China, things like: Chinese apps are no different than western ones, the US gets in the way of peace in the Taiwan strait, China doesn’t meddle in other countries’ business, and the Chinese Communist Party has lifted people out of poverty.

Through a combination of bullying and bribing, China used to be able to get its neighbors to play nice with it. While it’s economy was expanding rapidly and trade with other countries flourished, China’s neighbors moved away from the US, China’s mortal enemy, or avoided taking up controversial issues like Taiwan, to keep the peace in the region. But now that’s all changed. It turns out China’s rise hasn’t been one of a gentle giant that refrains from interfering in other countries’ internal issues, but a f

#Chinainsights It can be said that the Philippines is one of the few countries in Southeast Asia that is not included in the economic track of China. The Chinese government has been “luring” the Philippines, but the latter hasn’t really tasted much of the sweetness. In recent years, one of the notable practices of the CCP has been to hound the Philippines from time to time not to follow the U.S. on the Taiwan Strait issue. The sudden Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 should have made the Philippines beli

Should the US give Taiwan nuclear weapons? Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in the ’90s and now faces an invasion by a nuclear-armed world power. China, which also has nuclear weapons, has threatened to conduct a similar invasion of Taiwan, which some argue could be prevented if Taiwan had nukes. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss the parallels between Taiwan and Ukraine, whether the US should send troops to Ukraine, and and whether China can be an effective mediator between Russia and Ukra
