CIA Director William Burns sits down with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell for a wide ranging conversation at the Aspen Security Forum. The CIA Director gives his assessment of China’s aspirations to control Taiwan following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “I wouldn’t underestimate, you know, President Xi’s determination to assert China’s control, the People’s Republic of China’s control, over Taiwan,” says Burns. “If there’s one lesson I think they may be drawing from Putin’s experience in Ukraine is you don’t achieve

This is a special episode on a piece of shocking news exposed by Yuan Hongbing, a Chinese dissident and former law professor at Peking University. According to him, former Japanese Prime Minister Abe’s assassination was conducted by the CCP’s secret member in Japan via the “special task program” initiated by the CCP’s International Liaison Department headed by Xi Jinping’s henchman Liu Jianchao. Liu has also produced a mass assassination list with 52 Taiwanese people’s names on it, including Vice Presiden

Hundreds of thousands of people in China have lost access to their bank accounts, and it’s been going on since May. But when these penniless depositors tried to protest, they were crushed by police. After spewing vitriol about Japan for so many years, it shouldn’t be a surprise that China is now celebrating the death of pro-Taiwan MP and former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Biden may soon lift tariffs on Chinese goods coming into the US due to inflation. Watch this episode of China Uncensored for th

In May, President Joe Biden issued a stark warning to China: The U.S. would come to Taiwan’s defense militarily if China were to invade. Although the White House quickly affirmed the president’s comments did not reflect a policy shift, his remarks came at a time of heightened concern over China’s interest in Taiwan following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Any potential action could have repercussions on the global supply china. Taiwan has positioned itself as the go-to supplier of the semiconductors found

The city of Hong Kong is no longer recognizable. That’s what a number of locals had to say amid the anniversary of its handover from Britain to Beijing. On the other hand, China’s Communist Party leader said the opposite: that the city has risen from the ashes. The world’s largest naval exercise is underway in Hawaii. Troops from 26 nations are joining this year—looking to counter China’s military aggression. Taiwan’s foreign minister highlights his hopes for the island, as it grapples with the threat of

China has a new homemade aircraft carrier, outfitted with some of the most advanced catapult technology there is. The only problem is, it might not work as intended. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at its connection to Taiwan, what the bells and whistles of the new Type 003 Fujian are, and why it might not be all it’s cracked up to be.

Chinese President Xi Jinping reaffirmed his country’s support for Moscow on issues of sovereignty and security. In a phone call with Russian President Putin, Xi said “all parties should responsibly push for a proper settlement of the Ukraine crisis”. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is changing the post-Cold War status quo, with Asia already feeling the impact. Chinese President Xi Jinping has passed a new directive that will allow Beijing to use the army to suppress protests or use it for “non-war purposes”. T

Most pharmaceutical supply chains now trace back to China, with its near-monopoly on drug making. But one country is set on fixing the problem, and the United States is poised to benefit. The U.N. high commissioner’s visit to China has come to a close. It drew criticism from human rights groups, who say the organization’s approach to the visit harmed U.N. credibility. Taiwan readies itself for the worst-case scenario. Its military just conducted a round of annual drills involving the launch of various ant

– President Joe Biden reiterated the country’s commitment to Taiwan: defending the island amid attack from China. But are there any changes in U.S. strategy?

North Korea is finally admitting it has COVID, and it’s really, really bad. Of course we probably don’t know the worst of it because North Korea is a big, black box when it comes to information.

The US policy of strategic ambiguity on the Taiwan issue is becoming even more ambiguous. The US may have just radically altered its policy on Taiwan, or it may just have altered the State Department’s webpage on Taiwan. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at what the US policy on Taiwan has been, how the US-Taiwan relationship has been changing over the past 6 years, and why strategic ambiguity may not be so strategic for the US anymore.

During the last few years, the friction between China and Taiwan has been constantly increasing, but the former has carried out a form of gray-zone war that is not precisely subtle, yet not violent either. In order to wear its enemy down, massive Chinese dredging vessels have been trespassing into Taiwanese waters since 2017, and the tiny country has been forced to come up with creative solutions. Footage taken in 2020 shows how a Coast Guard boat-sprays water on an intimidating sand dredger, as the Chi

Shanghai’s lockdown hits Apple. The company’s major suppliers in the region have suspended operations, bringing production to a halt. Three Chinese cities house more billionaires than New York. But China’s GDP per capita remains a small fraction of America’s. What’s behind it? Is Taiwan preparing for war? The island’s military released a handbook for its citizens, telling them what to do in case of a wartime emergency. Similar questions arise over military developments in China. Beijing’s latest economic

No more phones, computers, cars? That’s just one area Americans’ daily lives would be affected if Beijing were to wage war on Taiwan. Bradley Thayer, founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, said that “for too many Western politicians and politicians in the #IndoPacific, Taiwan is an afterthought when it should be at the forefront.” Why is this tiny island thousands of miles away so crucial to not just America, but the world? In this special report, we look at how Americans’ daily

– Troops from the United States and Japan are working together as part of a joint drill. The weeks-long exercise is happening in the Indo-Pacific. How big is Washington’s fleet of nuclear submarines?

The Indo-Pacific region tops the list as the globe’s biggest weapons importer, as one country in the region does the opposite.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is making countries around the world think hard about their own safety. If Putin or another authoritarian leader were to do what Putin did in Ukraine, how would they defend themselves? In the Asia Pacific region, Japan has been worried about a similar threat from China for some time. China has vowed to take its island neighbor Taiwan by force if necessary. Taiwan sits less than 70 miles from Japan’s territory, which is why Japan has been warning that a threat to Taiwan is a thre

As the United Nations voted to denounce Russia for its actions in Ukraine, the US bolstered its support of Taiwan, which China has long claimed sovereignty over, partly over concern Beijing may see the war in Ukraine as an opportunity to take control of Taiwan. Scarlet Fu explores the subject with Shelley Rigger, Brown Professor of East Asian Politics at Davidson College.
