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 […]

By James Carafano ~ China is being racked by popular protests on a scale not seen since Tiananmen Square in 1989. But how much have the demonstrations made the regime rethink its autocratic ways? So far, the answer seems to be: Not much. The regime has softened its public rhetoric. For several days now, public officials and the government-controlled […]
By Patty-Jane Geller and Nathan Waite ~ The head of the U.S. Strategic Command, Adm. Charles Richard, recently alerted the world that when it comes to deterrence against China, “the ship is slowly sinking.” That warning came on the heels of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s call for “a strong system of strategic deterrence,” a likely […]
ROGER HELLE ~ You have to ask yourself: Whose side is Joe on? Just kidding. That’s not a question; it never has been. ~ Joe Biden has been in politics for over 50 years. He’s amassed an incredible record of accomplishing absolutely nothing noteworthy during his entire career! I don’t know if that’s some sort […]
By Min-Hua Chiang ~ The CEO of Chinese tech company Tsinghua Unigroup has become the latest in a number of Chinese executives under investigation in connection with corruption of the so-called Big Fund. The China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, established in 2014, is used to develop China’s semiconductor industry. Its turmoil points to a critical Chinese […]
By Patty-Jane Geller ~ Deterrence is a better way to prevent hostilities than appeasement. On Thursday, the Biden administration delayed a routine test of the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, a system that helps keep America safe by deterring major nuclear attacks on the homeland. The reason behind the delay was reportedly to avoid escalating […]
By Larry Bell ~ Here’s a head scratcher. Weren’t we told by President Joe Biden that the release of a million barrels of oil a day from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) from April onward, “will help address supply disruptions caused by Putin’s further invasion of Ukraine and the Price Hike that Americans are […]
By Min-Hua Chiang ~ The Biden administration has been wrong to frame U.S.-China competition as a technological competition. This is because, in most areas, there is no technology competition between the two countries. There is only China’s reliance on the U.S.—a far more technologically advanced nation with far more technologically advanced allies and trading partners. […]
From the team at CFACT ~ By Aaron Ringel: The United States is facing some serious challenges. The disruptions of the COVID pandemic are now merging with sanctions on Russia to produce significant supply chain shortages. Making this doubly problematic is the nation’s heavy reliance on imports, particularly from China. Import dependence has long posed […]
By Larry Bell ~ Billboard size speed limit signs and flashing police radar scanning dashboard warnings be damned! U.S. and European electric vehicle (EV) companies are racing to cash in on markets driven by dependence upon government subsidies which, in turn, rely on scarce and costly materials needed for batteries controlled by foreign adversaries. Mining […]
EMMY GRIFFIN ~ Between TikTok in the states and My 2022 at the Olympics, China is wielding the weapon of cultural manipulation. Social media is a tool that China is using shamelessly to bring out the cultural rot in our society. TikTok, the social media platform ruled by influencers and their followers, is having a […]
Mark Alexander ~ Power does not tolerate a vacuum, nor an inept and vacuous appeaser. In an update to our extensive report on Joe Biden’s deadly surrender and retreat from Afghanistan — still deadly today for all those we left behind — the just-released 2,000-page Army assessment of that disastrous exfil is an unmitigated indictment […]
A Dry Bones Cartoon ~ Putin and Biden, nose to nose. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, under OUR noses, is China about to grab Taiwan? Could this be a Grand Diversion?! Read more by Yaakov Kirschen at Dry Bones . http://drybonesblog.blogspot.com/
Douglas Andrews The early viewership ratings are in, and they don’t look good for the Communist Chinese and their corporate enablers. Ya hate to see it … just hate to see the Genocide Olympic Games failing so miserably. But they are. Boy are they ever. As the Associated Press reports: “Through the first four nights […]
By Tim Graham ~ Anyone under 30 today has no idea what it was like to live in America during the Cold War, and that includes the reflexive tendency of liberals and leftists to insist repeatedly that we really shouldn’t lecture the authoritarians in the Soviet Union or China for gross abuses of human rights, […]
By Fred Lucas ~ Americans need a “full accounting of Biden Inc.’s financial entanglements” with China, said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who helped lead an earlier probe into the international business deals of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
