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

A Chinese warship came within 150 yards of an American destroyer in the Taiwan Strait during a joint Canada-United States mission in the region, according to a Canadian news outlet aboard a nearby vessel.

The US Navy has released a video of a Chinese warship crossing closely in front of a US destroyer in a flashpoint waterway. The incident in the Taiwan Strait, which the US has called unsafe, comes amid worsening ties between Washington and Beijing.

Australia is preparing for war in order to avoid it. Their historic new increase in defense spending and China’s dependence on them for iron ore make them an important ally. Australia’s defense funding for 2024 will be $35 billion USD, just over 2% of their GDP, and up from $20 billion in 2021. They’ve signed a new trilateral security agreement with the United States and United Kingdom that will give the Australian Navy a new weapon that only 6 other nations in the entire world have. Major upgrades are bei

Police in Hong Kong have arrested pro-democracy activists on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Among those detained was 67-year-old campaigner Alexandra Wong, widely known as “Grandma Wong”. For decades, Hong Kong was the only Chinese city with a large-scale public Tiananmen commemoration. But the annual vigil has been banned since the imposition of a national security law in 2020.

A three-day carnival co-hosted by 26 pro-Beijing groups is being held in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park to mark 26 years since the city’s return to Chinese rule. Day two of the event falls on the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, which for decades had been marked in the park’s football pitches with a candlelight vigil that drew tens of thousands. Police have increased their presence around the park, urging residents to keep walking and taking away at least 10 people, including the leader of t

In recent years, China has been hit with a myriad of economic challenges including a recession, a collapse in the real estate market, bank failures, significant shrinkage in exports, foreign companies fleeing the country, successive waves of layoffs and wage cuts, and a climbing unemployment rate. Weak consumption due to the lack of cash flow, high prices of goods, low social security, and infringements on human rights have led to widespread grievances and tension in all sectors of society. The central gove

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new trend of seeking intellectual and personal growth abroad has been sweeping China.

Since the end of last year, when China lifted its lockdowns, U.S. consulates around the country have been flooded daily with people aw

– #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.

#Chinainsights#micron If the CCP strictly enforces this requirement and insists that “critical” infrastructure can only be served by Chinese suppliers, the result will be to force local Chinese network and server companies to deploy sub-par components, thus weakening their own capabilities.

For a long time, China has viewed India as its main rival in Asia. Not only is India a democracy, but it’s land mass and population are similar in size to China, which means India competes with China economically, militarily and philosophically. For all those reasons, India has served as a roadblock to China taking over Asia, which China resents. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about why China is so scared of India, what India has learned about China’s plans for expansion in the region, and Ind
