By Ronald Stein ~ No one seems to remember the Arab oil embargo of 1973, just 50 years ago, as America’s National Security is now with China’s monopoly of critical Minerals! In 1973, the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) imposed an oil embargo against the United States, triggering a crude oil crisis that […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ China has acquired dangerous monopoly power over battery production worldwide. CFACT has published my brief study report on this new threat — “CHINA’S GRAPHITE MONOPOLY.”To begin with, here is the Executive Summary: “China is positioned to adversely influence lithium-ion battery production worldwide. China has monopoly control over processed graphite, an essential component of […]
By Fred Lucas ~ Amid increasing suspicion of China’s aggression, the leaders of the United States and Japan are touting an “enhanced” security agreement. “Our alliance we have with Japan is purely defensive in nature,” President Joe Biden said during a Rose Garden press conference Wednesday with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. “It’s not aimed […]
By Andrew J. Harding ~ It has been about 80 years since the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign, a bloody struggle against Japan during World War II that cost thousands of Americans their lives. Today, Congress is poised to squander their sacrifice for freedom by granting China a generational opportunity to severely undermine America’s security position in the Pacific. […]
By Colin Aamot ~ The Biden administration recently removed restrictions on 27 Chinese companies that prevented those companies from purchasing American technology that could potentially be turned against the U.S. A detailed examination by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project reveals connections between several of these companies and the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance and military programs. […]
By Miles Pollard ~ Behind those harmless-looking solar panels harnessing the sun’s power lies a disturbing secret: Roughly 80% of solar components are manufactured in China using slave labor. Not only have the buyers of solar panels been indirectly funding companies that use slave labor, but American taxpayers also have subsidized almost $37 billion in purchases between 2016 and […]
By Andrew J. Harding ~ With the clock ticking toward a Sept. 30 deadline, the U.S. is racing to preserve strategic national security interests in the Pacific that it could lose to China if Congress doesn’t act soon. The impending expiration of long-time agreements with two Pacific Islands nations presents not just a threat to […]
By Ronald Stein ~ As the USA and many world leaders continue the pursuit of “unreliable electricity”, from wind turbines and solar panels that can only generate intermittent electricity at best from available breezes and sunshine, Russia, China, France, and Finland have emerged as the leaders in nuclear power generation to achieve continuous uninterruptible, affordable, […]
By Duggan Flanakin ~ According to Lauren Fix, the Car Coach®, China is well on its way to becoming a world leader in climate policy and is quickly taking over the electric car industry – and thus (barring mandate reversals) the entire auto industry. Talk about snake oil sales! But is Xi Jinpeng that smart, or […]
By Don Ritter ~ Autocratic Producers (primarily Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Russia, Iran, Qatar, Venezuela, and China) and certain democratic (or semi-democratic) Consumers (fossil fuel-dependent nations, mostly in the Global South), are uniting over oil, gas, coal, petrochemicals, natural gas-derived fertilizers and wind-solar-battery raw materials that are essential for building and maintaining modern industrial nations. […]
By Matthew Continetti ~ The chairman of the House Select Committee on China remembers a forgotten war. I was a bad pupil. Showed up late. Left early. Forgot my textbook. Barely spoke. Fortunately, this was no ordinary class. There were no grades. And I was there merely to observe congressman Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) and […]
By Tom Olohan ~ A climate change alarmist took to The New York Times opinion section to argue that a partnership with communist China was essential to transforming the American energy industry into a green utopia. Robinson Meyer, founding editor of propaganda website Heatmap, wrote an op-ed for The Times on July 17 headlined, “America Can’t […]

By Ronald Stein ~ As the world watches, China has been aggressively building its fleet of ships and aircraft in anticipation of a potential attack on Taiwan. To support that military domination, China is also aggressively building its fossil fuel refining capabilities to power those ships and aircraft. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is aggressively campaigning […]
By Robert Moffit ~ The Biden administration’s release Friday of a declassified nine-page intelligence report does not address COVID-19’s origins as either a Chinese lab leak or a natural occurrence. It does repeat previous reports showing divisions within the intelligence community on the key issue of COVID-19’s origins. Solving the mystery of COVID-19’s origins will […]
By Don Ritter ~ The relationship between China and Russia poses the greatest danger faced by America and the West since the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939 initiated WWII. If alarm bells are not ringing all across Washington, DC, they should be. China was already a global power based on its expanding economy, modernizing military and […]
The long arm of ChiCom “law” reached all the way to the Big Apple to silence dissent. MICHAEL SWARTZ MORE BY THIS AUTHOR When we established relations with the Communist Chinese a half-century ago, it was thought that our influence would moderate their rigid tyrannical system. To the extent they have adopted our capitalist methods […]
By Robert Moffit ~ Perfect timing. Just as most of you (and the analysts at the Department of Energy and the FBI) thought that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese laboratory, along comes a March 16 report in The Atlantic. The report says that newly discovered genetic data from caged raccoon dogs (a mammal related to […]
By Donn Dears ~ The capacity of a modern economy to produce food and goods for its citizens, and weapons and fuel for its military to project power, are the undeniable twin pillars of global power. Both depend on reasonably priced and readily available energy. Almost 80% of America’s energy is supplied by oil, gas […]
By Autumn Johnson ~ FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr shared the results of a study tracking the collection of user data and security issues on social media platforms. The study showed that communist Chinese government-tied TikTok currently has “the worst” score in the industry. A recent study from “Malcore,” an automated analysis tool designed to detect […]
By Samantha Aschieris ~ High-ranking House Republicans and a defense expert are continuing to sound the alarm after the U.S. military shot down a Chinese spy balloon about what’s at stake for the United States’ relationship with the communist nation. “China is brazenly pushing the limits, to see how far they can go. President [Joe] […]
By James Carafano ~ It might not have been a Sputnik moment, but Americans were unsettled to wake up to the news that a Chinese surveillance balloon was sailing overhead, violating U.S. airspace. Their concern deepened when they learned this wasn’t the first time. Beijing has used similar aerostats to surveil U.S. military installations in Guam and Hawaii and, possibly, strategic early warning sites […]
By James Carafano ~ In the wake of China admitting today that a large surveillance balloon flying over the U.S. was its own, critical questions arise. What is China surveilling? How invasive is this? Is this an act of aggression? Should we believe China when it says it was an accident? Everything Beijing does is […]
