China’s anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) strategy—a combination of missiles, submarines, sensors, and air defenses—is designed specifically to block and disrupt US air, sea, and even space and cyber power.But the true outcome of the operation will hinge on the rapid mobilization of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) ground forces, argues recently retired four-star general Charles Flynn, former commander of U.S. Army Pacific.He warns that the real “center of gravity” of a Chinese invasion will lie in its ability to rapidly assemble, deploy, and transport land forces across the Taiwan Strait.“What keeps me up at night is their ability to actually pull that off in 96 hours,” Flynn says.He is convinced that building a “strategic land power network” and forging deep, enduring ties with partner armies in Asia will be vital to deterring the Chinese regime.In this episode, Flynn lays out a roadmap for how the U.S. military should rethink its strategy, technology, and partnerships to deter Beijing and safeguard its allies in the Indo-Pacific.“This century is going to be defined by the relationship between the United States and China. … We’ve said we’ve pivoted to the Pacific for more than a decade, and in actual behavior and actions, that’s not accurate,” Flynn says.Before commanding U.S. Army Pacific, Flynn served as the Army’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Plans and Training (G3/5/7). He is the brother of General Michael Flynn, former national security advisor to President Donald Tru

France’s Emmanuel Macron has completed a state visit to China, his fourth as president. At the top of his agenda: the economy and the Russia-Ukraine War. In contrast to Xi Jinping’s one-hour talk in South Korea with US President Donald Trump, the Xi-Macron meeting in Beijing and trip together to Sichuan Province — including a visit to see the pandas — certainly appeared more friendly. What is behind Xi’s charm offensive? And what did Macron accomplish? Meanwhile, the German foreign minister also made a recent trip to Beijing, saying “Freedom, security and prosperity in Germany and Europe are closely linked to China.” In this episode, we discuss EU-China relations, the foreign policies of France and Germany, and what these developments potentially means for peace and security in Europe and the Taiwan Strait.

In this episode of DC Insiders by TaiwanPlus, Host Wenchi Yu speaks with Erin Murphy of CSIS about how undersea fiber‑optic cables—carrying over 95 percent of global internet and data traffic—have become critical infrastructure at the center of economic growth, AI, cloud computing, and telehealth worldwide, including in Taiwan’s high-tech, export‑driven economy. Against the backdrop of rising U.S.-China competition, the conversation explores how Taiwan’s dense cable links and strategic location make it both a digital hub and a potential vulnerability, as subsea systems face threats ranging from espionage and sabotage to gray‑zone coercion. Murphy discusses recent incidents and emerging risks, then outlines what governments, companies, and international partners can do to harden infrastructure, improve redundancy, and build cooperative frameworks to secure these “invisible lifelines” that underpin modern life from the Indo‑Pacific to the Atlantic.#TaiwanPlus #TaiwanPlusNews #TaiwanNews-

The move raises serious U.S. defense concerns, and experts weigh in.Cleo Paskal, senior fellow of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies: “If you had an installation on Guam, which they had under their control, you could hit Guam with, for example, missiles in a container, from a direction that nobody is looking.”A new U.S.-led coalition takes aim at China’s dominance in critical minerals, tech, and even global infrastructure.

The Chinese Communist Party has spent decades perfecting its propaganda overseas—but now, it may have found willing partners right here in the United States—the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA. A political organization with such noteworthy members as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.In this episode of China Uncensored, we expose how China’s messaging is being pushed through American political organizations, media figures, and so-called “political education” seminars. From praising the CCP as a “democracy,” to opposing U.S. efforts to counter China’s growing power, these narratives line up remarkably well with Beijing’s interests.We break down:-How CCP propaganda is being repackaged for American audiences-Why some U.S. political groups are echoing China’s talking points-The real consequences for U.S. policy, democracy, and global security-How China benefits from division and chaos inside the United StatesThis isn’t just about bad ideas—it’s about influence, power, and who gains when Americans repeat the CCP’s narrative for them.

In today’s video, we explore why China’s export model — and its wider economy — now appears to be unravelling, as multiple problems all hit at the same time.The biggest shock came in November, when China’s exports to the United States collapsed by almost 30% following the latest round of American tariffs. This is one of the sharpest declines on record, and it removes China’s most profitable and strategically important customer almost overnight.To keep its factories running, China has been pushing huge volumes of goods into Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Overall export numbers look positive, but only because China is flooding global markets with ultra-cheap products that can no longer be sold in America.We break down the broad percentages of where these exports are now going — including the EU’s rapidly growing share — and look at why Europe has suddenly become China’s most important high-income market. But that shift is already creating a political storm, with European leaders warning that their industries are being undermined by a surge of low-price Chinese imports.At the same time, China’s producer prices have been falling for almost three years, squeezing profits and forcing manufacturers to cut prices just to keep goods moving. Sales may be rising, but profits are falling sharply — a key sign of industrial stress.We also examine China’s weak domestic demand, the ongoing property crisis, and the deeper structural issues that mean China can no longer rely on its home market to absorb production. That leaves China dangerously exposed if Europe follows the U.S. in imposing new tariffs.All of these pressures together show why China is unravelling, and why the consequences could be significant not just for China, but for the entire global economy.For specific details please check out the CHAPTER list below.

The document promotes the so-called “community of shared human destiny,” claiming China will “never seek hegemony,” will “maintain nuclear forces at the minimum level necessary for national security,” and “actively promote international legal documents that pledge not to use nuclear weapons first.”This white paper, which appears emotional and peace-loving, should not be considered a genuine peace declaration. Instead, it seems to be a plea directed at the United States and President Trump. While it may appear humble at first glance, it can be interpreted as misleading and manipulative in its intent.

The data shows an almost cliff-like drop in China’s exports worldwide. Exports to the United States dropped 24%, to Europe 13%, to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) 17%, to Japan 16%, to South Korea 20%, to India 14%, and to Brazil 4%. The only exception was China’s exports to Russia, which surged by 90%. However, given Russia’s economy is smaller than China’s Guangdong province, even this export boom to Russia could not make up for China’s plummet in global trade.China’s foreign trade is teetering on the brink of collapse. As we delve into the specific data and facts in the analysis that follows, it will reveal the severity of this issue. The reality we must face is that China’s exports are no longer the spectacle they once were.#export #chinaeconomy #chinaobserver

In a landmark decision that underscores growing military cooperation between Washington and Manila, the U.S. Congress has officially approved the transfer of a retired U.S. Navy cruiser to the Philippines, marking one of the most significant defense upgrades in Philippine naval history. This move comes amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, where the Philippines faces increasing pressure from China’s expanding maritime presence.The cruiser, expected to be refitted and equipped with advanced radar, missile systems, and modern communications technology, will dramatically enhance the Philippine Navy’s ability to patrol and defend its waters. Military analysts note that this transfer symbolizes a deepening U.S.-Philippine alliance, reflecting Washington’s strategy to fortify its regional partners as part of a broader Indo-Pacific security framework.While the move has been celebrated in Manila as a “historic step toward modernization,” Beijing has sharply criticized the decision, warning that it could destabilize regional peace and escalate naval competition. The Philippines, however, insists that the upgrade is purely defensive, aimed at protecting its sovereign maritime territory and ensuring stability across vital sea lanes.This development represents more than a simple arms transfer—it signals a renewed era of strategic partnership, reinforcing the Philippines’ position as a key maritime player and frontline ally in the U.S.-led regional security network.#USPhilippinesAlliance #WarshipTransfer #SouthChinaSea #DefenseUpgrade #USNavy #PhilippineNavy #Geopolitics #IndoPacific #ChinaTensions #MaritimeSecurity #MilitaryNews #GlobalDefense #StrategicPartnership #BreakingNews #NavalPower

As a member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the US and the CCP—often referred to as the House CCP Select Committee—he receives intelligence briefings on the multifaceted threats that Beijing poses to American national security. “They’re gathering biological data on all of us,” he says. “One of the most insidious ways they gather biological DNA sequencing on us is they run a set of blood banks in the United States.”He is also working to end American transplant tourism to China. “We don’t want Americans to participate in any way, shape, or form in this kind of organ harvesting and transplantation scheme. … You can actually sit in America, make an appointment for a heart, lung transplant in China right now,” says Congressman Neal Dunn (R-Florida), a former Army surgeon and founding president of the Advanced Urology Institute in Florida. “I want to make that illegal,” Rep.

As a starting point, he has introduced the Block Organ Transplant Purchases from China Act, also known as the BLOCK Act, which would prohibit federal reimbursement for organ transplants and related medical services if the origins of the organs cannot be verified, as is the case in co

U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Vietnam on Sunday, reaffirming a partnership rooted in healing the wounds of the Vietnam War while exploring deeper defence cooperation. The visit marks 30 years of diplomatic relations and two years since the two nations elevated ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Hegseth emphasized that addressing the legacies of the war—unexploded ordnance, Agent Orange cleanup, and recovery of missing soldiers—remains central to U.S.-Vietnam relations. Analysts say these humanitarian efforts provide essential political cover for Hanoi to expand defence cooperation with Washington, even as Vietnam maintains ties with Russia and North Korea. Amid regional uncertainty and U.S. funding fluctuations, the renewed commitment to post-war projects highlights Washington’s intent to strengthen trust and demonstrate long-term responsibility in Southeast Asia#USDiplomacy #Vietnam #PeteHegseth #USVietnamRelations #Defense #IndoPacific #AgentOrange #WarLegacy #Hanoi #WorldNews
