Today we're honored to welcome Stan Lai, one of the world's most celebrated playwrights and theatre directors. He has been called by one critic ‘the major contemporary Asian playwright of his time, perhaps of all time' and by the BBC ‘the best Chinese-language playwright and director in the world'. Stan's Website @Stanlai99 on Instagram Stan on YouTube Born in the U.S. and raised in both America and Taiwan, Stan earned his PhD from UC Berkeley before launching a groundbreaking career in Taiwan that now spans over 40 acclaimed plays, including masterpieces like A Dream Like a Dream and Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land.

How was writing about creativity — in prose rather than in performance — a different kind of creative act for you?Buddhist Wisdom and Creative FlowYou describe the book as rooted in Buddhist thought, guiding readers to unlock creativity through introspection rather than productivity hacks. How do mindfulness and spiritual awareness shape your own approach to artistic creation?Creativity as Education — A New FrontierCreativitRy is being adopted as the foundational text for a new Department of Creative Studies at major Chinese universities. How did that initiative come about, and what does it say about the growing importance of creativity in education and society today?The Universality of the Creative JourneyYou've been praised by artists like Ang Lee and Jack Ma for bridging the arts, business, and human growth. What do you hope readers — whether they're artists, entrepreneurs, or students — will take away from CreativitRy about living a truly creative life?Stan, as we close, what's one piece of advice you'd offer to someone who feels disconnected from their creativity — someone who wants to rediscover that creative energy in everyday life?Thanks to our sponsor, White Cloud Coffee — fueling creative conversations everywhere.

She ruled the South China Sea, terrified navies, and ran her pirate empire with ruthless efficiency – meet Zheng Yi Sao, the Pirate Queen of Admin.In this family friendly episode of Dead Funny History, historian Greg Jenner dives into the extraordinary life of Zheng Yi Sao, one of the most powerful pirates who ever lived. Born around 1775 in Guangdong, China, Shi Yang (as she was first known) rose from poverty to command a fleet of 70,000 pirates. Her journey began with a job on a boat where she sold secrets to powerful men, and took a dramatic turn when she married the notorious pirate Zheng Yi.After her husband's death in 1807 – either by cannon or storm – Zheng Yi Sao took command of the pirate confederation. She wasn't just a fearsome fighter; she was a master of organisation. She split her fleet into colour-coded squadrons, enforced strict rules (including ear removal for slackers), and offered perks like pensions and healthcare. Her pirates even had a retirement home.Greg reveals how Zheng Yi Sao's empire grew through clever business tactics. She sold protection certificates to merchants, hijacked salt shipments, and outnumbered the Qing navy three to one. Her pirates wielded massive 8-foot guns called jingals and swam into battle with machete-tipped poles. At one point, the city of Canton panicked just from a polite warning of attack.Despite efforts by the Chinese government – and help from the Portuguese and British navies – Zheng Yi Sao remained undefeated. Eventually, she retired in luxury after being paid off by the empire. She may have run an illegal gambling house in her later years, but she died rich and respected in 1844.With jokes, sound effects, and a quiz to test your memory, this episode is a swashbuckling, spreadsheet-wielding celebration of a pirate legend.Writers: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, Athena Kugblenu and Dr Emma Nagouse Host: Greg Jenner Performers: Mali Ann Rees and Richard David-Caine Producer: Dr Emma Nagouse Associate Producer: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch Audio Producer: Emma Weatherill Script Consultant: Dr Ron Po Production Coordinator: Liz Tuohy Production Manager: Jo Kyle Sound Designer: Peregrine AndrewsA BBC Studios Production

THE GILDED AGE, GROVER CLEVELAND, AND THE ASSERTION OF SOVEREIGNTY Colleagues Gaiusand Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 91 AD. The second segment pivots to a historical comparison involving Grover Cleveland, the only American president prior to Trump to serve non-consecutive terms, using his presidency to illustrate parallels between the "Gilded Age" and the 2020s. The primary focus is the Venezuelan Crisis of 1895, where Cleveland asserted that the United States was "practically sovereign on this continent" and its "fiat is law," forcing the British Empire to submit to American arbitration rather than fight. Germanicus draws a direct line to the present, noting that just as the 19th-century crisis was driven by gold mines near the Orinoco River, modern conflicts are driven by oil, while the US now contends with encroachments from China and Russia. The speakers suggest that the partisan press of the Gilded Age was even more vicious than today's media, and that the railroad bubbles of that era mirror current AI and tech bubbles. NUMBER 2 1885

In Episode 454 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with author, futurist, and U.S. foreign policy expert Jamie Metzl about the aims and objectives of the 2025 National Security Strategy and its implications for American prosperity and power in the 21st century. Jamie and Demetri spend the first hour of this conversation digging into the Trump administration's 2025 National Security Strategy and the story that the administration is trying to tell to the American people and to itself about America's place in the world, where it went astray, and what needs to be done on a strategic planning level in order to "Make America Great Again." From there, Metzl and Kofinas debate whether the strategy amounts to a "containment" of China or something closer to a 19th-century balance-of-power where the largest and most powerful countries—namely the United States, Russia, and China—will be granted the freedom to operate with impunity within their own spheres of influence, dealing a final death blow to the international rules-based liberal order that the United States sought to universalize after the fall of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago. The second hour is a wide-ranging tour through what this strategy might look like in practice, from the Western Hemisphere and Venezuela to Europe and Ukraine, and what "power politics" means when so much of modern conflict is fought through influence campaigns, institutional sabotage, and cyber operations rather than through the use of conventional arms and occupations. The two also explore the dangerous vacuum created when a superpower can no longer clearly articulate what it stands for—at home or abroad—and how that confusion can lead to a cascade of unintended consequences that further destabilize the international system, resulting in a new form of total war.

Eric welcomes Council on Foreign Relations President Mike Froman to discuss CFR's latest task force report on U.S. economic security. They explore the importance of AI, quantum computing and biotechnology as foundational technologies in today's strategic competition, the effort that China is investing in these technologies, and the market failures that have led the U.S. to underinvest in quantum and biotech. The conversation also covers supply chain vulnerabilities, human capital shortfalls in key areas of technology, and the tension in the Trump administration's effort to address China's growing technological dominance while simultaneously cutting funding for basic research at the NSF, NIH, and other institutions.

When a family member was arrested by the Chinese Communist Party for practicing Falun Dafa, a practitioner immersed himself in the legal proceedings of Dafa cases. Though not an attorney, with the aid of the online legal forum he was able to write convincing legal documents, and clarify the truth to many members of the Chinese legal system. His family member was released, and he helped a high level judge to understand the true responsibility of his decisions, and he quit the CCP. This and other experience-sharing from the Minghui website. Original Articles: 1. China Fahui | Eliminating Fear and Changing Our Notions While Using the Legal System to Expose the Persecution2.

Este domingo se celebraron elecciones autonómicas en Extremadura. Eran unas elecciones muy esperadas ya que son las primeras desde las generales de julio de 2023. Desde entonces muchas cosas han sucedido en España. El Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez está con la popularidad bajo mínimos, asediado por casos de corrupción y con unas expectativas electorales muy negativas. Pero estas elecciones en principio nada tenían que ver con Pedro Sánchez. Las convocó la presidenta de la Junta de Extremadura, María Guardiola, del Partido Popular, en octubre porque no podía aprobar los presupuestos del año próximo. Que se tratase de un asunto regional no ha sido obstáculo para que toda España haya leído la campaña y los resultados en clave nacional. Los cuatro principales candidatos reflejaban la polarización política que hay en el país. Por el PP se presentaba la actual presidenta, cuyo objetivo era alcanzar la mayoría absoluta, que en la Asamblea de Extremadura es de 33 escaños. Eso no lo ha conseguido. Frente a ella el PSOE, liderado esta vez por Miguel Ángel Gallardo, un candidato polémico e impuesto desde Moncloa. La polémica le viene por estar imputado por un juzgado de Badajoz que le acusa de prevaricación y tráfico de influencias en el caso David Sánchez. Pero estas elecciones no eran cosa de dos con comparsas minoritarios como sucedió hace dos años. VOX se concentró a fondo en la campaña tratando de mejorar sus resultados y, en el otro extremo del espectro, Podemos trataba de renacer de sus cenizas. Ambos han conseguido sus objetivos. VOX ha más que duplicado sus escaños y se ha llevado casi el 17% de los votos. Podemos, por su parte, ha recuperado más de cuatro puntos y se ha llevado 7 escaños, tres más que en 2023. Pero la noticia no ha sido tanto esa como el hundimiento del PSOE, que con Gallardo ha tocado suelo electoral absoluto en esta comunidad autónoma. Se ha quedado en sólo 18 escaños y el 25% de los votos, lo que supone 10 diputados menos que en 2023 y una caída de 14 puntos porcentuales. Son los peores resultados del PSOE en una autonomía que tradicionalmente ha sido un feudo de este partido. Con la izquierda reducida a tan sólo 25 escaños, el futuro de Extremadura pasa por el acuerdo al que lleguen PP y VOX. En ambos casos han mejorado sus resultados, pero VOX lo ha hecho en mayor medida. Entre los dos suman una mayoría muy absoluta de 40 escaños que permitirá gobernar a Guardiola, pero no sabemos a qué precio. Tampoco sabemos qué efectos tendrá esto en Madrid y, especialmente en el ánimo del presidente del Gobierno. No serán, eso sí, estas elecciones las únicas autonómicas que se celebren en este curso político. En un par de meses habrá elecciones en Aragón y en Castilla y León. En junio serán en Andalucía. En las tres regiones las cosas pintan muy mal para el partido del Gobierno. Quizá precisamente por eso redoble ahora sus esfuerzos por atornillarse al poder hasta las generales de 2027.

Do you agree that the language of young people is a language of its own? Online buzzwords are more than just trends—they capture how a generation thinks, jokes, and reacts to the world. In this episode of Takeaway Chinese, we dive into the hottest Chinese buzzwords of 2025 and what they reveal about today's society. On the show: Niu Honglin & Steve. (06:25) From pre-made dishes to even a pre-made life… one word says it all. (10:06) As humanoid robots and service robots become part of everyday life, a new word rises with them.

China's theft of American intellectual property and technology — estimated to cost the U.S. roughly $600 billion annually — has allowed Beijing to accelerate its technological and economic rise without making comparable investments. This has helped China go from one of the world's poorest nations to a global superpower in just 50 years. Former Acting Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency David Shedd and former intelligence analyst Andrew Badger explore how China used America's secrets to transform its economy and military in their new book, The Great Heist: China's Epic Campaign To Steal America's Secrets. The two authors recently joined the Rundown's Jessica Rosenthal to discuss cases involving U.S. companies such as Tesla and Apple losing proprietary technology to Chinese employees, how their thievery has boosted China's military capabilities, and potential strategies for economically and technologically decoupling from China. They also discuss the possibility of war with China and whether Beijing's technology could eventually surpass America's. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.

 Chris Markowski, the Watchdog on Wall Street, discusses various pressing issues affecting the financial landscape and society at large. He critiques the influence of big banks and Wall Street, examines the failures of the war on poverty in Appalachia, and addresses the challenges of immigration and assimilation. Markowski also delves into military preparedness in the face of global conflicts, the complexities surrounding gender identity and mental health, and economic insights regarding China and marijuana regulation. The conversation emphasizes the need for critical thinking and proactive solutions to these multifaceted problems.

America's strategic focus is shifting back to its own neighborhood. In this episode of STRAT with retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer, we examine how U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere is evolving into what many call “Monroe Doctrine 2.0.” Drawing on history, current events, and hard geopolitical realities, the discussion explores renewed American assertiveness toward Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, and Venezuela. The episode traces the origins of U.S. hemispheric dominance, the legal and political legacy of past territorial ambitions, and how those precedents collide with today's post-colonial world. It also assesses mounting military pressure near Venezuela, the risks of escalation, and the humanitarian consequences of regional conflict. With China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba all shaping the strategic environment, the United States faces difficult choices between action and restraint.

1. Immigration and Housing Mass immigration under President Biden increased rental demand and housing prices. Trump’s deportations and border enforcement are lowering rents and home prices. Median age of first-time homebuyers is rising above 40 (highest since WWI). Wharton study: “Every 1% population increase → rents up 1%.” Recent rent declines (−1.1% YoY, −5.2% vs. 2022 peak). Tax Policy Changes (2026) Highlights upcoming measures: No tax on tips No tax on overtime No tax on Social Security for seniors Suggests millions will receive IRS refunds starting January. HUD Report HUD finds that immigration significantly drove up housing demand and prices, especially for low-income Americans without assistance. 2. DOJ/FBI and Mar-a-Lago Raid Newly released emails show FBI doubted probable cause for the 2022 raid but proceeded under pressure from Biden DOJ. There were political motives behind the raid, calling it “abuse of power.” Lack of whistleblowers and calls for congressional hearings. 3. Last 3 BIG WINS of this past year Space Announces $10 billion investment in NASA and commercial space through the Working Families tax cut. Goal: U.S. lunar landing by 2028 (ahead of China’s 2030 target). Emphasizes jobs (50,000+ in Texas), national security, and inspiration for youth. Automotive Policy CAFE standards were “zeroed out” to reduce car costs and improve safety. Biden-era fuel economy rules are an attempt to ban internal combustion engines.

In this episode, Ron is joined by Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) to break down the Trump administration's 2025 National Security Strategy—and why it reads like multiple agendas stitched together. They dig into the document's big shift toward the Western Hemisphere, what “partnership without shared values” really implies, and how the administration's internal split—isolationists vs. internationalists—creates real risk when the U.S. can't speak with one voice. The conversation moves to China and Taiwan, where the NSS repeats long-standing policy while the administration's actions suggest a tougher, more transactional posture. Then they hit the blind spots: Hong Kong and Jimmy Lai, the chilling signal sent by a collapse of opposition space, and what it means when human rights drops out of the national security frame. Finally: Islamist extremism and antisemitic violence, including the Bondi Beach shooting and a foiled bombing plot in Southern California—and why ignoring incitement doesn't make it disappear.

COVID-19 AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic empowered unelected bureaucrats to enforce lockdowns that disproportionately crushed the middle class while enriching large corporations and the "Zoom class." He claims the scientific consensus was manipulated to protect China regarding the virus's origins and that early dissenters who questioned the efficacy of lockdowns and masks have since been vindicated. The response highlighted a deep divide between the "essential" working class and the insulated elites who managed the crisis from safety. NUMBER 8

NUMBER 5 THE URGENCY OF SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM Colleague Veronique de Rugy, Mercatus Center. Veronique de Rugy argues Social Security must be reformed before trust funds run dry in the 2030s.

Narcissism is challenge for family and friends anytime of the year but especially during the holiday season. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we turned once again to respected therapist who specializes in addressing the multitude of challenges that come with living with a narcissist to give us clear, biblically grounded guidance on dealing with this challenging personality type at this time of year. China continues its undeterred pursuit of oppression and control as it spreads its influence around the world. To understand just how dangerous this push for control and domination we once again enlisted the expertise of an expert on national security matters to address the pressure that led to the nation’s only democracy focused political party and why our leaders are not addressing the glaring vulnerabilities on our electrical system to Chinese attack. Talking to your kids about the issues that surround sexuality has always been a challenge but in our social media saturated culture our kids are exposed to so much more at a much earlier age and Christian parents can’t shy away from setting up a good, age-appropriate foundation for their kids. We turned to an expert who explained how to explain the proper age to start taking to your kids about sex, how to explain what sexual sin is and how to handle the anxiety and fear that comes with speaking to your kids about such a sensitive topic. This week we were all reminded of the evil of antisemitism as we saw the horrific video of the father and son shooters at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebrations in Australia. How should believers respond? Our guest a messianic Jewish believer addressed the complicated issue of antisemitism, exposing its demonic roots and presenting clear, biblically sound guidance on how God’s people should respond to His chosen ones. Even as we head into the Christmas season, deception and misleading ideas continue to populate the news feeds and social media so your need to be ever vigilant watchmen and watchwomen on the walls to protect our families never stops. Join us for another demonstration on how to use the wisdom of God’s word to discern the truth from deception in the headlines of the week.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we were given a sharp reminder of the thin veil between this life and the next as we heard about brutal stabbing deaths of a Hollywood actor/ director and his wife. We turned to our favorite missionary to the entertainment industry to put this tragedy into context and help you expand your prayer list as family, friends and the industry grapple with this devastating reminder that eternity is merely a breath away. Although it is not as loud as it has been in recent years, the clanging bells of climate change supporters continue to impact and influence policies that impact all of our lives. We turned to an expert in this field once again to get a clear, science based, biblically grounded understanding the issues including the frigid temperatures this December the concerns over who will pay for the new AI power plants and who will pay for them. We talked to a man who puts shoe leather to his fight against abortion who shared some of his experiences in front of clinics attempting to save the likes of preborn children. He also addressed a new report that looks at the link between mothers who have abortions and their later emotional distress. Then we turned to a man who continues to gather vital statics on faith in the United States to explain why there is a serious confusion among so many about eternity, salvation and repentance. Janet’s daughter joined us for another wide-ranging conversation on matters that involved the education of our kids. She told us about the troubles in the Seatle school system, an important victory against the force use of pronouns and an important women’s sports case that the courts will address in the new year. Once again you filled up our phone lines with your calls on the topic of spiritual warfare as one our favorite teachers continued his directing us to God’s word as the source of power and truth against the supernatural forces arrayed against us. From antisemitic attacks around the world to increased oppression from China to the increased encroachment of artificial intelligence, our need to have a biblically sound way to look at and understand the events going around has never been more apparent. That is why we once again invite you to another important conversation with our favorite husband and wife team who continue to teach us how to examine the news through the unfiltered lens of scripture.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Found guilty of colluding with foreign forces under the National Security Law that China imposed on Hong Kong in 2020, and of publishing seditious materials through his now-defunct newspaper Apple Daily, Lai denied all charges, and faces the possibility of a life sentence.

The Second Emancipation: Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism, and Global Blackness at High Tide (Liveright, 2025), the second work in a trilogy from best-selling author Howard W. French about Africa's pivotal role in shaping world history, underscores Adam Hochschild's contention that French is a "modern-day Copernicus." The title--referring to a brief period beginning in 1957 when dozens of African colonies gained their freedom--positions this liberation at the center of a "movement of global Blackness," with one charismatic leader, Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972), at its head.That so few people today know about Nkrumah is an omission that French demonstrates is "typical of our deliberate neglect of Africa's enormous role in the birth of the modern world." Determined to re-create Nkrumah's life as "an epic twentieth-century story," The Second Emancipation begins with his impoverished, unheralded birth in the far-western region of Ghana's Gold Coast. But blessed with a deep curiosity, a young Nkrumah pursued an overseas education in the United States. Nowhere is French's consummate style more vivid than in Nkrumah's early years in Depression-era America, especially in his mesmerizing portrait of a culturally effervescent Harlem that Nkrumah encountered in 1935 before heading to college. During his student years in Pennsylvania and later as an activist in London, Nkrumah became steeped in a renowned international Black intellectual milieu--including Du Bois, Garvey, Fanon, Padmore, and C.L.R. James, who called him "one of the greatest political leaders of our century"--and formed an ideology that readied him for an extraordinarily swift and peaceful rise to power upon his return to Ghana in 1947.Four years later, in a political landslide he engineered while imprisoned, Nkrumah stunned Britain by winning the first general election under universal franchise in Africa, becoming Ghana's first independent prime minister in 1957. As leader of a sovereign nation, Nkrumah wielded his influence to promote the liberation of the entire continent, pushing unity as the only pathway to recover from the damages of enslavement and subjugation. By the time national military and police forces, aided by the CIA, overthrew him in 1966, Nkrumah's radical belief in pan-African liberation had both galvanized dozens of nascent African states and fired a global agenda of Black power.In its dramatic recasting of the American civil rights story and in its tragic depiction of a continent that once exuded all the promise of a newly won freedom, The Second Emancipation becomes a generational work that positions Africa at the forefront of modern-day history. Howard W. French is a professor of journalism at Columbia University and a former New York Times bureau chief for Central America and the Caribbean, West and Central Africa, Japan and the Koreas, and China, based in Shanghai. The author of six books, including Born in Blackness, French lives in New York City. Ayisha Osori is a lawyer and Director at Open Society Foundations Ideas Workshop.
