As the Trump administration tightens immigration rules, China is doing the opposite. The Chinese Communist Party just launched the K-Visa, a new program meant to lure foreign STEM graduates to China with job opportunities and easy entry requirements.But while the CCP hopes this will help it surpass the US technologically, it’s infuriated China’s own young people—who are already facing record unemployment and see the K-Visa as an insult.On Chinese social media, millions are asking why the government is recruiting foreigners when millions of Chinese graduates can’t find work. Critics also question whether the program favors foreign degrees over domestic ones, revealing how little confidence many have left in China’s system.Chris Chappell explains why the K-Visa might actually deepen China’s internal crisis, how the CCP’s lack of transparency fuels resentment, and why angry young citizens could become the Party’s biggest threat yet.

In his annual National Day speech, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te praised the country’s military forces and announced a new defense initiative called ‘T-Dome’, an AI-assisted missile-defense shield. It comes as the US Administration is pushing Taiwan to increase its defense budget to 10 percent of GDP to counter China’s growing threats and gray-zone tactics. By comparison, Lai has set a goal of 5 percent by 2030, which would already be a significant spike from next year’s 3.3 percent. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s leader called on Chinese President Xi Jinping to renounce his country’s coercive efforts to isolate Taiwan and its threats of military force. Could the T-Dome complicate an attempted Chinese invasion of Taiwan? How high should Taipei increase its military budget? And will Beijing respond to the speech with more provocative drills? In this special episode, we analyze Lai’s speech and discuss missile defense, Taiwan’s national budget, and China’s adverse military and political activities.Host: Yin KhvatOur guests:Alexander Huang Council on Strategic and Wargaming Studies Chair KMT Department of International Affairs DirectorLai I-chung Prospect Foundation PresidentGuermantes Lailari Institute for National Defense and Security Research (INDSR) Visiting Scholar Chapters:00:00:00 – Lai’s National Day Speech00:01:40 – ‘T-Dome’ Missile Defense Shield00:07:10 – Taipei’s Eyes Military Budget Spike00:14:58 – How might Beijing react to this year’s speech?00:21:20 – Lai calls on China to renounce coercion

Economic war with China has begun! China has weaponized its monopoly on rare earth minerals. Is President Trump serious about fighting back?

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 is set to launch one of the world’s first commercial underwater data centres. Located in waters off Shanghai, the facilities will serve a range of clients, including China Telecom and a state-owned artificial intelligence (AI) computing company. The project is part of a broader government push to lower the carbon footprint of data centres. AI-driven demand for computing power has led to a surge in centres as well as demand for energy to run and cool the machines.

Manila rejects Beijing’s “Asia-Pacific NATO” accusations China launches “combat readiness patrols” near Scarborough Shoal Faced with Beijing’s aggressive behavior and gray-zone tactics in the South China Sea — including sending frigates, J-16 jet fighters and H-6 bombers to patrol near Scarborough Shoal in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone — Manila has sought to expand its visiting forces and reciprocal access agreements beyond the US, Japan, and Australia to include other like-minded countries. In response, Beijing has accused the Philippines and its partners of importing “European-style military alliances” into Asia. What benefits do these military deals provide? Is Manila becoming the “hub” of a new hub-and-spokes model? And how might these agreements and recent joint exercises deter or affect a potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait? In this episode, our guests discuss the Philippines’ military agreements, the possibility of an “Asian NATO,” and what it all means for Taiwan and Indo-Pacific peace and stability.

One Douyin user claimed she spent 70 yuan on a mystery box of crabs, only to be shocked when the package arrived. Instead of receiving just one crab, there were 20!

“President Trump talks about ‘drill, baby, drill.’ We’ve also got to mine, baby, mine.

Something eerie is happening in China. Once-vibrant streets are turning silent, subways are half-empty, and restaurants are vanishing overnight. This isn’t lockdown—it’s the collapse of China’s urban heartbeat. Behind glossy GDP figures lies a terrifying truth: China’s economy is grinding to a halt, and its cities are emptying out faster than ever before.Recent transport data exposes the real story—urban passenger trips across China have fallen by 27% compared to last year. Subways, taxis, and buses once full of commuters now echo with silence. From Shanghai to Guangzhou, city life is fading as unemployment soars and small businesses shut down.While Beijing claims 5% GDP growth, the numbers on the ground reveal a nation in crisis. Job losses, shrinking cities, and mass migration back to rural areas are all signs of an economy running out of steam. China’s “miracle growth model” built on infrastructure, cheap labor, and nonstop construction is now collapsing under its own weight.The question is no longer whether China’s slowdown is real—it’s how deep this collapse goes. The world’s second-largest economy stands on the edge of a demographic, financial, and social implosion. As skyscrapers shine brighter, the people who once filled them are disappearing.Explore the truth behind China’s urban decline, ghost cities, and economic unraveling—beyond the official numbers.#ChinaCrisis #EconomicCollapse #GhostCities

Reports are emerging from Beijing claiming that Xi Jinping may have suffered a sudden stroke earlier today. The alleged incident has triggered emergency medical activity in the capital, with sources describing Xi’s condition as serious. Meanwhile, Premier Li Qiang has reportedly been ordered to cut short his visit to North Korea—a move widely seen as a key indicator of how grave the situation might be.The report comes from three separate sources, including former CCP insider Du Wen, one of whom alleged that a formal transition of power has already begun. At the same time, South Korea confirmed today that Trump is unlikely to attend the APEC Summit, reinforcing earlier claims that the long-anticipated Xi–Trump meeting in South Korea will not take place.

In recent years, China’s film and television industry has faced a downturn. Production projects have declined, and the operating rates of major filming bases have dropped significantly. Some former stars now perform at scenic sites. This trend reflects the broader economic slowdown, as the once “dream-making” industry experiences a widespread slump—from top actors to background performers, from production companies to behind-the-scenes staff—all confronting a severe test of survival.
