In this wide-ranging and forceful interview, Ronnie Chan dismantles the notion that China is “containing” the United States—reversing the frame to argue that it is the U.S. that has long sought to contain China’s rise. Drawing parallels between global power politics and personal survival, he lays out a realist view of international relations: that nations—especially rising ones—must defend their interests, not ask for permission to exist. With clarity and urgency, he asserts that China’s actions are not acts of aggression, but inevitable responses to U.S. encirclement and global scrutiny.He outlines three core national priorities driving China’s long-term strategy: energy security, food security, and becoming a respected member of the global order. The rest of the world, he argues, must accept that 1.4 billion people improving their livelihoods will inevitably reshape global systems—economically, politically, and culturally. From Hollywood to higher education, Chinese influence is growing, not as a threat, but as the late arrival of a long-dormant civilization returning to the global stage. The West’s resistance, he warns, is steeped in ideological rigidity and an inability to let go of centuries-old dominance.The conversation ends with a provocative challenge: If the West claims to uphold shared values, why does it weaponize them to divide rather than unify? Chan pushes back against Western exceptionalism, urging a more honest reckoning with global pluralism. China, he contends, is not imposing its values—but the West might be.

China has finally announced its long-delayed Fourth Plenum, scheduled for October 20–23 in Beijing—and it could mark the start of Xi Jinping’s downfall. During his recent visit to New York, Premier Li Qiang signaled a major leadership change by reviving Wang Yang’s famous “U.S.–China marriage” metaphor—a message loaded with political meaning. Was it a diplomatic gesture or a sign that Xi will soon be replaced? In this episode, we decode Li’s hidden message, reveal the new power dynamics inside the CCP, and explain why the Fourth Plenum may end Xi’s rule.

For years, Western countries, including the United States, have pushed China to give up this privilege, citing its economic growth that no longer matches the criteria for such treatment. The Chinese government itself has even referred to China as the world’s second-largest economy.

Due to successful pressure from China, Taiwan, the United States, and Japan were excluded from the meeting held from September 8 to 12, 2025.Before the PIF meeting began, President Surangel Whipps Jr. of Palau, one of the PIF member states, criticized Beijing’s attempts to undermine Palau’s leadership and weaken the public’s confidence in its government. Speaking in Hawaii on September 8, he pointed out that China had even sent drugs to the Pacific Island nation, trying to destabilize society. He compared this tactic to China’s actions in the Golden Triangle region, where it uses drugs, gambling, prostitution, human trafficking, and organ trade to manipulate local governments and control entire regions.

Washington and Beijing will have to communicate better if they are to resolve their various disagreements — and if they don’t talk, it could be “dangerous,” a U.S. lawmaker said Tuesday during a rare congressional visit to China. This is the first delegation of House lawmakers to visit China since 2019; a group of U.S. senators visited Beijing in 2023. Their trip comes amid tensions between the United States and China over trade, technology and wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., the leader of the bipartisan delegation, said that they held “robust and very helpful” meetings with Chinese officials and that the objective of the trip was to reopen lines of communication between “the two most powerful countries in the world.”

The United States is pressing ahead with efforts to turn the Philippines’ Subic Bay—once the site of its largest naval base in Asia—into what could become the world’s largest weapons manufacturing hub, aimed at countering China’s growing military footprint in the region.Momentum for the plan surged when on 2 Sep , Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. inaugurated HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Philippines’ new shipyard at the former Hanjin facility, now rebranded as Agila Subic under the ownership of U.S. investment firm Cerberus Capital Management.Fueled by U.S. and South Korean investment, the shipyard is expected to double the Philippines’ shipbuilding capacity to 2.5 million deadweight tons annually and employ over 4,000 workers by 2030.Although Monday’s ceremony emphasized commercial shipping, officials stressed that the facility could play a key role in the Philippines’ naval modernization program. Hyundai has already delivered frigates and offshore patrol vessels to the Philippine Navy and is positioning Subic as a future regional hub for warship construction.South Korea’s ambassador to Manila described the project as a “tripartite partnership” that blends Korean technology, American financing, and Philippine labor and geography.According to a report by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, the move constitutes “the most significant American defense investment in the Philippines since the Cold War.”In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how Subic Bay could emerge as key enabler for potential battle against China ?#defenseupdates #subicbay #philippinesvschina Chapters:0:00 TITLE00:11 INTRODUCTION01:48 SPONSORSHIP – NordVPN02:22 HISTORICAL CONTEXT 04:00 STRATEGIC VALUE06:16 ANALYSIS

Explore the revolutionary AJX002, China’s latest autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that is redefining military strategy beneath the waves. Designed for stealth and optimized for endurance, the AJX002 operates at speeds of 20 km/h while maintaining an impressive range of 500 kilometers. Unlike traditional submarines, this AUV can deploy in swarms from various platforms, complicating US Navy’s undersea dominance. Its low acoustic signature makes it difficult to detect, allowing it to loiter near undersea cables and vital maritime chokepoints undetected. As the US Navy adapts to this emerging threat, innovations in anti-submarine warfare technology and proactive strategies will become crucial. This video delves into how the AJX002 alters the balance of power, pushing the boundaries of undersea operations and forcing a rethink of naval tactics and logistics. Join us as we analyze how this shift signals the dawn of a new era in undersea warfare where autonomy and technology reign supreme.—

After months of campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize, President Donald Trump sent a sharply different message on Friday when he signed an executive order aimed at rebranding the Department of Defense as the Department of War.Trump said the switch was intended to signal to the world that the United States was a force to be reckoned with, and he complained that the Department of Defense’s name was “woke.”“I think it sends a message of victory. I think it sends, really, a message of strength,” Trump said of the change as he authorized the Department of War as a secondary title for the Pentagon.Congress has to formally authorize a new name, and several of Trump’s closest supporters on Capitol Hill proposed legislation earlier Friday to codify the new name into law.But already there were cosmetic shifts. The Pentagon’s website went from “defense.gov” to “war.gov.” Signs were swapped around Hegseth’s office while more than a dozen employees watched. Trump said there would be new stationery, too.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whom Trump has begun referring to as the “secretary of war,” said during the signing ceremony that “we’re going to go on offense, not just on defense,” using “maximum lethality” that won’t be “politically correct.”The attempted rebranding was another rhetorical salvo in Trump’s efforts to reshape the U.S. military and uproot what he has described as progressive ideology. Bases have been renamed, transgender soldiers have been banned and websites have been scrubbed of posts honoring contributions by women and minorities to the armed forces.He’s also favored aggressive — critics say illegal — military action despite his criticism of “endless wars” under other administrations. He frequently boasts about the stealth bomber strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, and he recently ordered the destruction of a boat that the U.S. says was carrying drugs off the coast of Venezuela.The Republican president insisted that his tough talk didn’t contradict his fixation on being recognized for diplomatic efforts, saying peace must be made from a position of strength. Trump has claimed credit for resolving conflicts between India and Pakistan; Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and Armenia and Azerbaijan, among others. (He’s also expressed frustration that he hasn’t brought the war between Russia and Ukraine to a conclusion as fast as he wanted.)“I think I’ve gotten peace because of the fact that we’re strong,” Trump said, echoing the “peace through strength” motto associated with President Ronald ReaganWhen Trump finished his remarks on the military, he dismissed Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, from the room.“I’m going to let these people go back to the Department of War and figure out how to maintain peace,” Trump said.Florida Republican Rep. Greg Steube proposed legislation in the House to formally change the name of the department.“From 1789 until the end of World War II, the United States military fought under the banner of the Department of War,” Steube, an Army veteran, said in a statement. “It is only fitting that we pay tribute to their eternal example and renowned commitment to lethality by restoring the name of the ‘Department of War’ to our Armed Forces.”Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, are introducing companion legislation in the Senate.The Department of War was created in 1789, then renamed and reorganized through legislation signed by President Harry Truman in 1947, two years after the end of World War II. The Department of Defense incorporated the Department of War, which oversaw the Army, plus the Department of the Navy and the newly created independent Air Force.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has described his country’s rise as ‘unstoppable’ during a major military parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.Showcasing China’s military strength, a selection of weaponry was on show during the parade, including hypersonic missiles and underwater drones – some displayed for the first time.A new intercontinental ballistic missile, the DF-61- was unveiled, a weapon that could carry nuclear warheads to a distant targetFollowing the parade, Putin and Kim met for bilateral talks with Beijing.Speaking to journalists as the meeting began, Russia’s president praised the bravery and heroism of North Korean soldiers who have fought alongside Russian troops in Ukraine.The ceremony began with an 80-gun artillery salute, followed by the Chinese national anthem.During his opening speech, President Xi said humanity must choose between peace and war.“The Chinese people are a people that are not afraid of violence and are self-reliant and strong,” he said.“We will adhere to the path of peaceful development and work hand in hand with people of all countries to build a community with a shared future for mankind.”Around two dozen foreign leaders were in attendance, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.Putin and Kim stood side by side with Xi as they made their way to a platform overlooking Tiananmen Square.As the parade got underway, the US President Donald Trump took to social media saying that the big question is whether Xi will recognise the contributions of Americans who fought in the war.“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against the United States of America,” he added.During his address, Xi did not mention the US; however, he expressed his gratitude towards foreign countries that helped China resist the Japanese invasion.Asked about Trump’s social media post, Putin told reporters that “the president of the United States is not without a sense of humour,” but sought to assure that “over these four days, during negotiations of all kinds, both in formal and informal settings, no one has ever expressed any negative judgments on the current American administration.”The Russian president also quashed hopes of a possible meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.”It’s a path to nowhere to meet with the current head of administration, to put it carefully,” said Putin.He added that it was not an impossibility, claiming that when Trump broached the idea of a meeting between the warring nations, “I said yes, it is possible. After all, if Zelenskyy is ready, he should come to Moscow, and the meeting will take place.”
