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. […]

By Walter Lohman ~ “If you don’t scare Congress, it goes fishing,” Will Rogers once said. “If you do scare it, it goes crazy.” Regarding China, the humorist’s wisdom is bearing out on both ends of the Capitol.

By James Carafano ~ Foreign policy doesn’t stop for turmoil here at home. The U.S. can’t afford attention deficit disorder overseas. That is doubly true for meeting the challenge of China, the most consequential test this generation could see in its lifetime. Last Friday, President Donald Trump rolled out a number of punitive measures designed to discourage the increasingly aggressive and threatening Chinese communist regime. The action fully comports with the administration’s […]

By James Carafano ~ Remember the old public relations maxim: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity”? Try telling that to Beijing.

By Olivia Enos and Mike Gonzalez ~ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has told Congress that Hong Kong is no longer sufficiently autonomous from the People’s Republic of China, which may mean it will no longer receive different legal treatment from the United States.

By Walter Lohman and James Carafano ~ The growing chorus to “punish” China for how it has handled the COVID-19 crisis is understandable and justifiable. We need to be smart about how we do this, building up American strength even as we hold China accountable. If the challenge of our era is a multidecade great-power […]

By James Carafano ~ Beijing’s cover-up of the coronavirus outbreak is the scandal of the century. Its unconscionable malfeasance launched a global plague, hobbled the international response, and crashed the world’s economy. Many people were already fed up with how Beijing had bullied, lied, and cheated its way up the global food chain even before […]

By Peter Murphy ~ The Communist Party that rules the People’s Republic of China is not a friend of the United States. It is an enemy. It is time Americans understood that, starting with the political class, and act accordingly. The coronavirus pandemic, which started in the Wuhan Province of China, should be a wake-up […]

By Herbert London ~ If one requires any evidence that the United States is a fading power, the recent events in the South China Sea offer ample evidence. Two Chinese fighter jets intercepted U.S. military reconnaissance aircraft and, to add to the humiliation rebuked the Obama administration for any surveillance near China. The incident took […]

By Herbert London ~ In Sun Tzu’s The Art of War present Chinese military strategy in the South China Sea comes into focus. Tzu argued that the best war is one not waged, one in which the cleverest leader wins without fighting. The Chinese declaration over its perimeter zone incorporates a number of islands claimed […]

By Alan Caruba ~ If there is one thing various experts and pundits like to do most it is to worry about all manner of speculative threats. I can recall when much of their focus was on the Soviet Union until 1991 when it collapsed along with the decline in the cost of oil. The […]
