On June 16, Israel announced it had taken control of the airspace over Tehran, the capital of Iran, and issued an emergency alert telling people in the city to evacuate immediately. That same day, US President Trump posted on social media urging everyone to evacuate from Tehran. After Trump’s message, traffic leaving Tehran came to a complete standstill. Millions of people rushed out of the city overnight. A trip that normally takes two hours turned into a seven-hour nightmare. It reminded many of the scenes right before the fall of the Assad regime in Syria.

China has sailed two aircraft carriers east into the Pacific, conducting simultaneous drills. Could this complicate or force a rethink of U.S. strategy in the region? And was this reflected in the war games? Our guest, Tony Hu — former senior director of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Office of China, Taiwan, and Mongolia — shares his insights.

Your local elementary school probably just had “Teach Truth Day,” a.k.a. “Culture War Day” on June 7, 2025. The kids learned no math, no science, no reading, and no writing. If you sat in on one of these classes, you’d be shocked by what was being taught. You’d be less shocked by who’s funding these programs.

Taiwan has signed a partnership deal with US and Germany-based Auterion for drone software that has been tested on the battlefield in Ukraine. The technology was expected to be used to strengthen the self-ruled island’s defences. According to information released about the deal signed on June 17, 2025, the Auterion software has been used in Ukrainian drones operating combat missions against Russian forces. The agreement could eventually lead to the technology being used in millions of drones deployed by Taiwan. The island is actively engaging both local and international defence innovators to showcase uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) technologies with potential military applications. As part of Taiwan’s efforts, 12 companies – including seven from Taiwan and the others based in the US – are taking part in a two-day USV demonstration at Suao port in Taiwan’s northeastern Yilan county. The government-backed National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, which organised the event, said data collected would be used to develop a standardised control system and modular platforms adaptable to missions, including patrol, search and rescue, environmental monitoring and logistics.

Xi Jinping may still hold the title, but behind closed doors, power has shifted. After a stroke, failed coup attempts, and a silent purge of his loyalists, Xi is now under the shadow of a far more powerful figure—General Zhang Youxia. Backed by the PLA and Party elders, Zhang has dismantled Xi’s inner circle, reversed his military reforms, and seized control of Beijing’s security apparatus. A late-night armed patrol through the capital sent an unmistakable message: Xi no longer commands the military. This is the story of how one man rose from Xi’s trusted ally to the architect of his downfall.1. 3 reasons why Xi is not in power2. Xi’s troubled relations with his vice chairmen of CMC3.

Gordon Chang Wasn’t Wrong — The China Collapse Is Finally HereFor years, Gordon Chang was mocked for predicting the collapse of China. In this video, I break down why Gordon Chang wasn’t wrong—he was just early. From the bursting of China’s real estate bubble (Evergrande, Country Garden) to Xi Jinping’s authoritarian missteps, everything Gordon warned about is now unfolding in real time.This is not just another “China doomer” video. I share personal stories about being ridiculed for calling out China’s property crash years ago—until the cracks became too big to ignore. I compare China Inc. to a hyped-up stock with bad fundamentals, one that eventually crashes under the weight of its own lies. Just like the CCP’s one-party rule under Deng Xiaoping and Hu Jintao worked—until Xi Jinping broke it.Whether you’re an investor, China watcher, geopolitical analyst, or just tired of the media worshiping the Chinese growth model, this video pulls back the curtain on the slow-motion collapse of China’s economy.🔻 Timestamps:00:00 – Gordon Chang: The Punchline Turned Prophet00:55 – Why Everyone Laughed at China Bears02:02 – The Real Estate Crash I Saw Coming03:14 – China Inc.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has invested billions in building a powerful navy, but its efforts are now under global scrutiny. U.S. intelligence has fully exposed China’s Type 093 nuclear-powered attack submarine, revealing critical details—including its unique acoustic signature, which now serves as an “underwater fingerprint” for tracking. At the same time, China’s military-industrial system is facing internal turmoil. In one case, a senior scientist compromised national security by leaking classified information on laser transmission, electromagnetic catapults, and stealth materials— just for the sake of paying off a 1,000 yuan (137 US dollars) gambling debt.

China’s electric vehicle industry is a total disaster. It’s getting so bad, it’s wrecking other areas of China’s economy—and threatening people around the world, too. But it’s not just China’s dangerously low quality cars. It’s worse.

There are a lot of channels (including this one) talking about the private space race, but few are paying much attention to what China’s been doing. Shut out of international space missions for 14 years, they have built their own program, with a strong commitment to the moon in 2029. And their track record has been beyond impressive. Today we’ll discuss the Chinese space program, plus topics relating to tragedies in Kpop, ancient wisdom around meteorites, and the future politics of Mars on today’s lightning round video.

At the end of May, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri led a delegation to the United States and met with Defense Undersecretary Elbridge Colby. Notably, the two sides used different terms to describe the relationship: India called it a “partnership,” while the U.S. referred to it as an “alliance.” Our guests, Mumin Chen and Roger Liu, share their insights on this.

On June 14, Inty, a popular account on X, posted about the situation, stating, “Iran was caught off guard by Israel: when the airstrike hit, the radar stayed silent and the missiles didn’t launch. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the anti-air command system used was one developed by China’s corrupt military research.”

Joining us today is Nicholas Eftimiades. He’s a retired senior intelligence officer, specializing in China. Over the past three decades, he’s written a number of books on Chinese spying operations, including “Chinese Espionage Operations and Tactics”, which has just been released as a second edition.

TSMC: The Company That Rules the Global Microchip Market | Chip War | FD FinanceWatch ‘Haier: From small Chinese Fridge Maker to Global Industry Giant’ here: • Haier: From small Chinese Fridge Maker to … A new world order is taking shape before our eyes. The Covid-19 pandemic showed the extent to which great powers are dependent on strategic products. The persistent shortage of semiconductors, essential to our daily lives, is reshaping geopolitical relations, fuelling inflation and increasing tensions between America and China.It is estimated that 10 million cars worldwide were not produced in 2021 because manufacturers did not have enough semiconductors. From the computer to the toaster via our tablets and our refrigerators, microprocessors or semiconductors equip all our daily devices. They are of national strategic importance powering all advanced military and civilian technologies. Yet while demand for the quantity and quality of semiconductors has been growing, the amount of places they are produced has been shrinking. Only a few countries have the specialised knowledge and ability to produce cutting-edge chips with 63% of all chips produced in Taiwan.That one island, which is already on the frontline of a superpower struggle between the US and China, dominates production means that the world’s economies are dependent on the stability of Taiwan. So what can be done to secure microprocessors? And how is the battle for semiconductors already affecting our daily lives?

Taiwan’s first domestically-made submarine prototype, known as the Hai Kun, has been spotted floating in a harbor in Kaohsiung. Local media have reported that the submarine is undergoing testing, which experts say could signal sea trials, which have been delayed, are getting closer.

China’s EV maker BYD has come under fire from competitors for waging a suicidal price war. The EV giant is now being called the “Evergrande of the auto industry” due to its hidden debt problems. A Hong Kong research firm recently revealed that BYD’s net debt may be ten times higher than the reported figure. The company has been offloading its financial liabilities onto suppliers and forcing aggressive sales quotas onto dealers. If BYD defaults, it could drag down the entire EV industry in China.

As the trade war heats up, the US is putting sanctions on China. But are they enough to stop forced labor? And enough to slow the CCP’s military buildup?

The CCP is desperate for cash to fuel its global expansion and influence. And one Middle Eastern country is more than happy to provide billions of dollars. The US is not happy about this (except all the American elites who benefit).

We’ve learned that the CCP is secretly behind some of the anti-ICE riots happening in LA, working behind the scenes to make sure that the money they got from heavily taxing their peasant farmers goes to middle-class American progressives willing to cause civil unrest. That—and so much more—in today’s episode. Hosted by Shelley Zhang, filling in for Chris.
