Podcasts about Chinese Communist Party

A practitioner in China recounts a dangerous encounter with a police officer. Despite the officer's initial hostility, her calm demeanor resolved the situation. The experience prompted her to reflect on her attachment to fear and her responsibility to clarify the truth to her family, who had become influenced by the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda. This and other experience-sharing from the Minghui website.Original Articles:1. People Realize That Falun Dafa Is Truly Good2.

“The Governor claimed there were two deaths in Lancaster County – the first deaths from Measles in the U.S. in 35 years,” writes Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons. “The story unravels: I then conducted an investigation and learned from the Lancaster County Coroner that there were zero reported measles deaths in Lancaster County… [even though] law requires deaths from contagious disease such as measles to be reported to the Coroner.” In headlines reminiscent of the pandemic panic, NBC reported an “Infant in Pennsylvania is one of two people reported to die of measles this week.” Local officials are likening this to the politically-motivated death count inflation during the pandemic, which frequently included people who “died WITH Covid” even if other health issues were actually their cause of death. “Lancaster County Coroner Steve Diamantoni said the cause of death was not from the measles,” Commissioner Parsons reports. “The newborn died shortly after birth from a laceration of the spleen, although measles antibodies were present in postmortem testing… We still know nothing about the second reported death. There has not even been an effort, to my knowledge, to explain this death or provide any details whatsoever – beyond “unvaccinated.”” Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer, speaks on the measles headlines, Hayden Panettiere's sudden death, and marijuana psychosis. Eric Bolling, host of TheEDGE, joins to discuss his Main Street America Tour, the Iran war, and gas prices. Steve Lance, executive producer of UNBROKEN: The Untold Story of Shen Yun, discusses the threats and alleged Chinese Communist Party interference documented by his film.

This episode of John Solomon Reports explores federal legislative, executive, and investigative crackdowns on political nonprofit organizations and non-governmental entities abusing tax-exempt status to fund extremist, anti-American, or fraudulent activities. Opening the series, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent details new joint Treasury-FBI task force efforts to hold nonprofit boards and directors criminally liable for illegal grantee actions, revoke tax exemptions, unmask donor-advised funds, and audit improper fund transfers between 501(c)(3) charities and 501(c)(4) political groups. Next, Congressman Brandon Gill discusses his House task force's initial probes into multi-million dollar Medicaid fraud schemes within Midwest home health sectors, legislative remedies to tighten tax code loopholes, and investigations into NGOs exploiting taxpayer funds to facilitate birth tourism and illegal immigration. Turning to independent legal and watchdog actions, James Fitzpatrick reveals IRS complaints filed against high-profile groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the People's Forum for hyperpartisan lawfare, obstructing federal immigration enforcement, and acting as fiscal sponsors for pro-communist foreign delegations. Closing out the series, Scott Walter analyzes how foreign adversaries—including Chinese Communist Party-linked networks—leverage unregulated nonprofit regulations to bypass election laws, influence state ballot initiatives, and finance radical protest movements on American college campuses.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When the Chinese Communist Party began persecuting Falun Dafa in 1999, a practitioner in Liaoning Province was undaunted by the lies and slander; she resolved to stand up for Dafa and help others understand the truth. Through her work in the medical profession she has exemplified the teachings of Dafa, and is well respected and admired for her good character.

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss newly reported information about alleged Chinese espionage activities, claims surrounding Eric Swalwell and Fang Fang, concerns about foreign influence in U.S. politics and universities, and efforts to counter Chinese-backed programs on American campuses. They also revisit a controversy involving a conference speaker roster connected to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and examine a recent Democratic National Committee resolution supporting the abolition of ICE, along with the political implications Cruz believes it could have heading into upcoming elections. Newly surfaced details about alleged Chinese influence operations, including claims involving former Congressman Eric Swalwell and suspected Chinese operative Fang Fang, have reignited concerns about espionage, political targeting, and foreign influence in the United States. Ted Cruz argues that China’s efforts extend far beyond traditional intelligence gathering, pointing to allegations involving political figures, university programs, influence campaigns, and outreach efforts tied to the Chinese Communist Party. The discussion examines recent reporting, FBI investigations, and broader concerns about how foreign actors seek to gain access and leverage across American institutions. Topics Covered: Allegations involving Eric Swalwell, Fang Fang, and FBI investigations into foreign influence Chinese Communist Party influence operations and espionage concerns in the United States Confucius Institutes, university programs, and efforts to limit foreign-funded influence on campuses Abdul El-Sayed controversy involving a conference speaker removed after public criticism Questions surrounding overseas charitable transfers connected to members of El-Sayed’s family The Democratic National Committee’s resolution supporting the abolition of ICE The Bottom Line: Ted Cruz argues that communist China represents the most significant long-term geopolitical challenge facing the United States and contends that stronger safeguards are needed against foreign influence.

In a world where the US dollar's status as the global reserve currency is being questioned, the speaker is sounding the alarm. This episode delves into the implications of losing our reserve currency status and the potential consequences for the US economy. The speaker shares a concerning conversation with Vice President JD Vance, who surprisingly argues that the US dollar should not be the world's reserve currency. This sparks a discussion about the benefits of being the reserve currency, including lower borrowing costs, cheaper imports, and increased geopolitical leverage. The speaker also touches on the topic of China's infiltration of American education, highlighting a report that reveals 83 colleges and 26 schools across 30 states are exposing students to Chinese Communist Party propaganda. This is just one example of how China is trying to undermine the US from within. The speaker also discusses the importance of staying on top economically, citing the US dollar's role in imposing effective financial sanctions on countries like Russia and China. The conversation also explores the idea that economic warfare is a real and present threat, and that the US needs to stay vigilant in order to maintain its position as the world's leader. The speaker argues that losing our reserve currency status would be a significant blow to the US economy and would make us more vulnerable to global pressures.

A young woman in China learned of Falun Dafa from her fiancé, though initially skeptical due to propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party, over time she was able to see the goodness of Dafa, and the viciousness of the persecution.

The new owner has ties to China's security apparatus and has received special forces and sniper training.Attorney General Todd Blanche says he may direct the Department of Justice to ask the Supreme Court to intervene in cases filed against states that refuse to turn over voter rolls.

A new law in China requires parents to guide their children to love the Chinese Communist Party, schools to teach a government-approved version of Chinese history, and all citizens to refrain from doing anything the government deems not conducive to promoting a unified Chinese ethnicity. With the laws extending to critics abroad, minority ethnic groups like the Uyghurs and Tibetans say the laws codify and expand longstanding policies of forced assimilation and threaten to silence critics around the world.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down explosive new reporting that a senior Chinese Communist Party intelligence officer, a trained sniper, just bought a building 650 feet from the White House. Bryan covers the WNBA's failed attempt to define who counts as a woman, a stunning court admission from the trans medical group WPATH that its "settled science" is really just opinion, and mounting backlash over President Trump's new $100,000-a-month service selling early access to his social media posts.

What happens when artificial intelligence, government power, China, climate politics, and human vulnerability collide? This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck Warren and Sam Stone are joined by journalist Juan David Rojas, attorney and AI ethics fellow Devan Patel, and historian Dr. Jody Edward Ginn. Plus, B's Crime Corner examines the tragic Lindsay Clancy case and the role postpartum psychosis played in one of the most disturbing cases in recent years. Juan David Rojas joins the show to discuss climate politics and the political shift taking place across Latin America. Juan recalls watching Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth as an elementary school student in Florida and the fear created by some of the film's predictions about hurricanes, flooding, and climate change. While acknowledging the broader concerns surrounding climate change, he argues that exaggerated predictions and partisan messaging can undermine public trust. Juan also explains why failed energy policies may be helping fuel a conservative resurgence across Latin America, particularly in oil-dependent nations where left-wing governments have attempted to rapidly move away from fossil fuels at significant economic cost. Follow Juan David Rojas on X: @rojasrjuand Next, Devan Patel joins Chuck and Sam for an in-depth conversation about the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence. Patel examines how Americans can better educate themselves on AI, the philosophical dangers of transhumanism, and the growing push to use technology to overcome fundamental limits of human existence. The conversation turns to one of the biggest questions facing policymakers: How much power should government have over AI? Patel argues for guardrails surrounding critical infrastructure, child safety, fraud, vulnerable populations, and emerging mental-health concerns while warning against government overreach, mass surveillance, privacy violations, and excessive corporate control. Patel also discusses the United States' technological rivalry with the Chinese Communist Party, arguing that America may need both formal and informal channels of communication with Beijing similar to U.S.-Soviet dialogue during the Cold War. He explains why American allies, global critical-mineral supplies, advanced semiconductor production, and international cooperation will all play major roles in the AI race. The conversation explores Marc Andreessen's accelerationism and Techno-Optimist Manifesto, antitrust concerns, corporate power, collective bargaining, lethal autonomous weapons, nuclear security, biotechnology risks, and whether the United States and China can find limited areas of cooperation before increasingly powerful AI systems become even harder to control. Patel also warns about authoritarian surveillance technology spreading around the world and argues that churches and other faith institutions may have an important role to play in protecting civil society and establishing moral guardrails against technological overreach. Learn more about Devan Patel: DevanPatel.com Then, B's Crime Corner examines the tragic case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother and former labor and delivery nurse accused of killing her three young children in 2023. The segment looks at Clancy's reported mental-health struggles following childbirth, the medications she had been prescribed, and the role postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis have played in the legal and public debate surrounding the case. Finally, historian and educator Dr. Jody Edward Ginn joins the program to discuss the state of history education in America. Ginn argues that declining academic standards, ideological changes within higher education, and shifts in teacher-training programs have left too many classrooms without educators who possess deep subject-matter expertise. The conversation examines what that means for students learning American history — and what may be lost when ideology replaces rigorous historical scholarship.

In part two of our deep dive into China (and part four of our socialist organization series), we break down how Mao attempted to dialectically sublate a national front and a united front. We explore the structural inclusion of the "patriotic national bourgeoisie" into the block of four classes (symbolized by the stars on the Chinese flag) and contrast it with classical Soviet developmental theory and orthodox Marxism.We also dive into:- The historical debate between Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Lenin, and Trotsky.- Why modern "Hoxhaists" and Left Communists consider New Democracy to be revisionist.- The evolution of class structures under Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents" doctrine (allowing billionaires into the Party).- The reality of modern China's development: Is it a transitioning socialist project, or an hyper-competent form of state capitalism and developmental liberalism?Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for Episode 5, where we pivot to National Frontism and National Bolshevism.Journal ArticlesDirlik, A.

China launched the world's first geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar satellite in 2023, giving it continuous all-weather surveillance over roughly one-third of the planet (including the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean), later pairing it with a high-resolution optical spy satellite. Let's discuss the critical mineral chokehold that allowed China to achieve this milestone, as well as the alternative supply chains that the United States is now building to counter the ruling Chinese Communist Party.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks they're safe from the reach of the Chinese Communist Party. The speaker delves into a report from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, which reveals that three Chinese state-owned carriers are still deeply embedded in the US internet infrastructure, despite being kicked out of the American phone business years ago. This is not just a matter of selling phone service; it's about the Chinese government's ability to quietly surveil and manipulate American internet users.The speaker explains that the FCC's actions, while well-intentioned, don't go far enough. Revoking a license doesn't pull the equipment out of the wall or sever the network relationships. The Chinese carriers can still collect data and push hidden software changes, making it difficult for the US to regain control. The speaker also highlights the case of TP-Link, a Chinese company that controls a significant portion of the American home and small business router market, and has been linked to compromised routers used in attacks on government agencies and defense contractors.The speaker also touches on the Internet of Things (IoT) army that's quietly installed in our homes, from smart cameras to garage door openers. These devices can be used to track our movements and collect data, which can be used against us. The speaker emphasizes that we've essentially installed this surveillance system for ourselves, one Amazon shipment at a time.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the extent of the Chinese Communist Party's reach into the US internet infrastructure. The speaker provides a clear and concise explanation of the issue and offers practical advice on how to protect yourself. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation that will leave you wondering what's really going on in your own home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For decades, the Chinese Communist Party has had a distinct economic bargain with its people — obedience in exchange for economic prosperity. China continues to lead the world in sectors like green technology and robotics, but in recent years, economic growth has slowed. Signs of unrest and unease have appeared. So what happens when the government struggles to hold up its end of the bargain? The BBC's China correspondent Laura Bicker speaks with Asma Khalid about the Chinese citizens who feel they are being left behind.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's new executive orders cracking down on birth tourism and narrowing who qualifies for automatic birthright citizenship. Bryan covers a Chinese Communist Party member funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates, FBI Director Kash Patel's controversial new law enforcement partnerships with China and Russia, and fresh evidence that OpenAI gamed the H1B visa system to sideline American workers. He also breaks down why Communist Democrats are dominating primary races nationwide, fueled largely by young, college-town voters. Plus, Bryan covers expanding intelligence-sharing between the US and Ukraine, imminent Houthi drone attacks threatening Saudi oil infrastructure, growing concerns over America's depleted missile stockpiles, Stanford's creation of AI-designed synthetic viruses, and a historic mega El Niño poised to scramble global food supplies this winter.

On today's episode, we discuss the hosts' skeptical take on institutional power, political narratives, and alleged foreign influence in American public life. With Charlotte absent for university preparations, James, Dwayne, and Glenn begin by joking about higher education bureaucracy and concerns over colleges cutting academic programs. They then speculate extensively about Mitch McConnell's health, rehabilitation, and public messaging, framing the available information as inconsistent and fuel for conspiracy theories. The conversation shifts to claims that former U.S. military leaders, anti-police protests, and advocacy networks may be tied to Chinese Communist Party influence, while also criticizing past government policies they believe expanded surveillance and information operations within the United States. Throughout, the hosts use humor and provocative commentary to question official explanations and connect current events to broader concerns about media influence, government power, and foreign interference. Don't miss it!

In the “unrestricted warfare” the Chinese Communist Party has long waged against the United States, one of its most effective lines of attack has involved the weaponization of the CCP's so-called “Old Friends” in America. Intrepid investigative journalist Natalie Winters revealed this week that, since 2008, China's influence operations and intelligence services have cultivated relationships with former members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and combatant commanders. They discuss sensitive and “high-risk” subjects, including Taiwan, the South China Sea and missile defense.  A driving force behind this “Sanya Initiative” is former Joint Chiefs Vice Chairman Bill Owens, who actually went to work for the CCP's notorious telecommunications and espionage company, Huawei, and even penned an article urging that we treat China “as a friend.”  There must be penalties for being an Old Friend of our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party. This is Frank Gaffney.

On The Dawn Stensland Show, Dan Borowski takes over the host seat alongside Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis of Surge Philly and Surge Media. We kick things off with a hilarious check-in from Rich Zeoli, who calls in fresh off getting bumped on Fox News to debate proper workplace attire, the sacred rules of wearing shorts, and his single-day return to afternoon drive live at the Grand Hotel in Cape May. We dive deep into the serious national security and cultural issues surrounding birth tourism and birthright citizenship following Executive Order announcements from President Trump and Stephen Miller. We analyze retroactively holding fraud operators accountable, unpack how foreign entities like the Chinese Communist Party exploit American laws through "baby mills," and examine archival footage exposing the multi-billion dollar birth tourism industry. We wrap up the hour discussing foreign influence operations, digital subversion on platforms like TikTok, and the critical need for schools to return to teaching core critical thinking skills rather than basic rote memorization. Plus, we highlight a mind-blowing feel-good story featuring a partially-sighted 97-year-old woman performing death-defying barrel rolls on top of a biplane.

Piero Tozzi and Gordon Chang explore the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) "long arm" influence in the U.S., specifically regarding a Purdue University professor pressured to cancel a speech at a Catholic conference. Tozzi explains that the CCP uses "patriotic churches" to "sinicize" Catholicism, which involves forcing the religion to conform to Party dictates. Tozzi criticizes the Vatican's "accommodationist approach" under the 2018 Sino-Vatican Accord, noting it neglects the persecuted "underground" church. He highlights that figures like Cardinal Zen and Archbishop Cordileone have been vocal defenders of figures like Jimmy Lai. Tozzi argues that the Catholic hierarchy must understand the totalitarian nature of the CCP, which seeks absolute control over all institutions. The discussion emphasizes that Chinese officials use intimidation to project dominance even within American universities and religious organizations. (4)

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-5-2026.Michael Bernstam discusses how August is historically a "month of curses" for Russia, citing the 1991 coup and the 1914 start of WWI. Currently, Russia is facing a severe fiscal and production crisis driven by Ukrainian drone strikes that have crippled 25% of its oil refining capacity. Additionally, Ukrainian drones recently destroyed a massive Wildberrieswarehouse—Russia's equivalent to Amazon—stripping a million vendors of their livelihoods and stressing the banking sector. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is in fiscal trouble due to its $1.5 trillion "The Line" project and Houthi attacks on its pipelines. This pressure is leading the Saudis to urge the Trump administration toward concessions with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and stabilize oil flows. Bernstam notes that while the EU has frozen the Russian oil price cap at $44.10, the real impact on Russian revenues will come from any reduction in world oil prices. (1)Bob Zimmerman highlights the rapid evolution of the commercial space industry, comparing it to the early 20th-century auto boom. A major milestone includes SpaceX successfully retrieving a Starship stage from the Indian Ocean to analyze its thermal protection tiles. Zimmerman notes that the FAA is proposing to exempt spaceports from 13 environmental laws to curb "mission creep" and "lawfare." In the satellite market, Starlink's dominance has forced competitors like Hughes into bankruptcy. Internationally, Zimmerman criticizes the European Union Space Act as a regulatory disaster that could drive U.S. and Chinese businesses away from the EU market. Other notable developments include Spain's $1 billion offer to move the Thirty Meter Telescope to the Canary Islands and new evidence that near-surface ice is ubiquitous on Mars, simplifying future colonization. He also mentions the mapping of 200,000 supermassive black holes. (2)James Holmes and Gordon Chang address the critical lack of frigates in the U.S. Navy, which Holmes describes as essential low-cost platforms for monitoring adversaries. The current fleet is "top-heavy," relying on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that are overworked. Holmes explains that the new Constellation-class frigate program has been delayed because the Navy continues to "monkey with the designs," resulting in vessels that are destroyer-sized but under-armed. Meanwhile, China and Russia have conducted joint naval exercises since 2005 to improve interoperability and provide military options in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. Holmes suggests the U.S. should consider leveraging the superior shipbuilding capacity of allies like South Korea, which claims it could produce five Arleigh Burkes annually, whereas the U.S. struggles to build two. The focus remains on regaining the ability to build plentiful, cost-effective combatants. (3)Piero Tozzi and Gordon Chang explore the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) "long arm" influence in the U.S., specifically regarding a Purdue University professor pressured to cancel a speech at a Catholic conference. Tozzi explains that the CCP uses "patriotic churches" to "sinicize" Catholicism, which involves forcing the religion to conform to Party dictates. Tozzi criticizes the Vatican's "accommodationist approach" under the 2018 Sino-Vatican Accord, noting it neglects the persecuted "underground" church. He highlights that figures like Cardinal Zen and Archbishop Cordileone have been vocal defenders of figures like Jimmy Lai. Tozzi argues that the Catholic hierarchy must understand the totalitarian nature of the CCP, which seeks absolute control over all institutions. The discussion emphasizes that Chinese officials use intimidation to project dominance even within American universities and religious organizations. (4)Steve Yates and Gordon Chang discuss the proposed ban on Chinese components in U.S. data centers, warning that these devices allow for foreign sabotage of critical infrastructure. Yates notes that the CCP often fuels "astroturf" protests in rural America to block data center construction and slow U.S. AI development. Regarding Taiwan, Yates reports that security cooperation is becoming more transparent, moving away from "strategic ambiguity" to reassure allies and deter China. However, he notes a delay in a $14 billion arms package for Taiwan, suggesting that some in Washington still prioritize "walking on eggshells" to preserve the relationship with Xi Jinping. Yates argues for a shift toward helping partners buy and use their own deterrent capabilities. He concludes that U.S. leadership in compute power is a vital strategic advantage that China is actively trying to undermine through influence operations. (5)Peter Huessy provides a historical overview of nuclear arms control, starting with the 1972 SALT I agreement, which actually codified a buildup of weapons while banning missile defenses. He describes the "window of vulnerability" in the 1980s when Soviet SS-18 missiles threatened a first strike. The START I and START II treaties in the 1990s achieved the first real reductions, with START II aiming to ban destabilizing multiple-warhead (MIRV) land-based missiles. However, START II unraveled when Russia demanded limits on U.S. missile defenses. Following the Moscow Treatyand the 2010 New START, the arms control regime has effectively collapsed. Huessy emphasizes that today, there is no active treaty governing nuclear weapons between the U.S. and Russia. He underscores the importance of past verification measures, like "portal monitoring" in missile factories, which are no longer in place. (6)Humberto Briceño describes Venezuela as a state captured by a transnational alliance of criminal organizations, including colectivos (paramilitaries) and narco-traffickers. He criticizes the decision to leave "gangsters" like Delcy Rodríguez in power while attempting to rebuild democracy. Briceño argues that the judiciary and military must be entirely replaced, as they currently serve only as agents of the regime. Despite $13 billion in recent oil earnings, massive corruption has left the funds unaccounted for. He maintains that free elections, ideally by March 2027, are impossible without first dismantling the criminal infrastructure and placing the military under civil authority. Briceño praises the leadership of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, noting the Venezuelan people are desperate for transformation after three decades of state-sponsored violence and economic collapse. (7)Simon Constable reports on the extreme weather and energy pressures facing Europe, with Brent crude prices up 12% and natural gas up 22% in a single month. He details a "semi-invasion" of Spain, where 60,000 migrants recently attempted to cross from Morocco, and the controversy in the UK over using the Royal Navy to return migrant boats to France. Constable describes the lack of logic in French police allowing these dangerous rubber rafts to depart. Switching to his "data center quiz," he reveals that 67% of new data centers are planned for rural areas, which often brings both high local resistance and significant tax revenue. He identifies labor shortages—particularly for electricians—and tariff uncertainties as the primary barriers to U.S. data center construction. Constable notes that within five miles of an operational data center, a significant portion of the U.S. population now resides. (8)Mary Kissel analyzes the "stuck" state of global diplomacy, arguing that China and Russia are actively judging the strength of U.S. deterrence in the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine. She disputes the idea that China is a neutral bystander, noting that Beijing benefits from Russian energy, Iranian markets, and the depletion of U.S. military assets like Patriotmissiles. Kissel asserts that the "merging" of the wars in Ukraine and Iran actually happened years ago through long-standing regime cooperation. She warns that a "halfway house" deal with Iran would only grant the regime more leverage and threaten European population centers with ballistic missiles. NATO must recognize a "condominium of countries"—China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—that are aligning against Western security. Kissel emphasizes that these regimes' interference in U.S. domestic politics is a strategic tool used to promote their own ends. (9)Colonel Grant Newsham challenges the assumption of inevitable Chinese dominance, labeling it a "fake it till you make it" strategy intended to intimidate foreigners. He points out that China's property market is a "crater" and its currency is not freely convertible, forcing the CCP to aggressively export overcapacity to earn the dollars needed for raw materials. Newsham highlights that over 600 million Chinese citizens live on less than $5 a day, and even the CCP elite, including Xi Jinping, keep wealth overseas as a hedge against the system's future. He argues that China's high-tech focus on AI and robotics does not solve its massive youth unemployment. Newsham concludes that China is a "big power but not a great one," functioning as a "rigged casino" without property rights or the rule of law, which is increasingly deterring foreign direct investment.

Thirty years ago, the People's Republic of China ratified the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Since then, Beijing has frequently invoked UNCLOS to support its maritime claims and legal positions, while advancing interpretations of the Convention that many other states –but not all – reject.  This June the China Institute for Marine Affairs under the Ministry of Natural Resources marked the 30-year anniversary with an extensive report providing Beijing's interpretation of UNCLOS, including its account of the 2016 arbitral award that found China's expansive maritime claims in the South China Sea as lacking a legal basis under the Convention.  To examine the PRC's evolving interpretation of UNCLOS and Chinese maritime activities, and how both are being used to advance Chinese interests, I'm joined today by Dr. Peter Dutton. Peter is a Senior Research Scholar in law and senior fellow in the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School. Previously, he held several positions at the U.S. Naval War College, including as director of the China Maritime Studies Institute. He served in the US Navy for more than 40 years in several capacities, including as a Judge Advocate and naval flight officer.   Timestamps:  [00:00] Introduction  [01:45] UNCLOS and China's Approach to International Law   [04:48] Favorable Interpretations of UNCLOS for China  [07:07] Unpacking Wu Shicun's Comments on Future Construction  [10:47] Capitalizing versus Defending Interests  [16:56] Potential Deterrence Options for the US and Allies  [19:14] Renegotiating the Law of the Sea Convention?   [22:45] Updated Arguments to the 2016 Ruling   [25:50] China's Strategy and Relying on Power  [29:03] Indicators and Actions to Watch For

Last October, Pastor Wang Lin, one of the leaders in Zion Church in China, was arrested and imprisoned under false charges of "fraud" and "illegal business practices." Sarah Su (Su Ziming in Chinese), wife of Pastor Wang, recounts the day her husband was arrested and the Christian persecution they faced even before he was imprisoned. Sarah will share about her husband's role in Zion Church's leadership and in training other leaders, how the church continues to reach many people despite persecution from the Chinese Communist Party, and recent updates about Pastor Wang's condition in prison. "The moment I married Wang Lin, I have decided to face all this together," Sarah says. "I knew that his mission was to train and disciple more Christians in China…I knew something like [this] would happen one day." You'll hear from Sarah how she continues to face this persecution with courage, faithfully enduring times of worry and loneliness. She will share how she and her husband both are committed to serve the Lord—no matter the cost. Zion Church made international headlines during President Trump's visit to Xi Jinping in Beijing in May and with the release of Zion senior pastor Ezra Jin from prison during America's July 4 celebrations. Sarah thanks God for Jin's release, and says the case against Zion Church continues, with eight church leaders remaining in prison. She asks that we pray for their release, the dismissal of charges, for their physical and spiritual health, and for her and her children, along with family members of the other persecuted Christians from Zion Church. Visit Prisoner Alert to write an encouraging letter to Pastor Wang Lin, and letters to other Christians imprisoned for their faith in Iran, Eritrea, and China.

The Chinese Communist Party has been paying off key figures in the United States to do the regime's bidding. Recently declassified intelligence reports show the regime was paying people to push propaganda to undermine the image of the president and the United States as a whole, as well as to divide the country, and to push narratives favorable to the CCP. And new reports are giving more details on how these operations may have been carried out.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

President Donald Trump held separate high stakes meetings Tuesday with Israeli and Ukrainian leaders. The talks come as the United States and Iran negotiate during a pause in strikes, while Ukraine is becoming increasingly tied to the wider Iran conflict. Trump also delivered remarks at the National Cathedral for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, remembering him as “a man who gave America the full measure of his good and mighty heart until that heart itself just gave out.”NTD dives into newly declassified intelligence reports that shed light on a Chinese Communist Party influence campaign in the U.S. The documents outline alleged efforts to shape public opinion, lobby policymakers, and amplify divisions leading up to the 2020 election.Dr. Anthony Fauci will testify under oath before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday morning. More than 1,100 pages of his private diary have been made public.

The Senator argues that Chinese distant-water fishing fleets operate on a massive scale, engaging in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing that harms marine ecosystems, depletes fish populations, damages local fishing industries, and relies on forced labor practices. He describes efforts to combat these operations through sanctions and increased Coast Guard monitoring. The conversation then shifts to U.S. politics, focusing on the perceived rise of socialist and progressive influence within the Democratic Party. Ted and Ben discuss polling on socialism and reveal policy positions associated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), arguing that the movement is becoming increasingly influential in Democratic primary elections. The final segment examines fundraising and management challenges at the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Using an article from The New York Times, Sen Cruz and Ben describe internal disputes, cash flow concerns, political leadership issues, and fundraising disadvantages compared to Republicans ahead of upcoming midterm elections.

An explosive new primetime address from Donald Trump has shattered the mainstream media's election narrative, exposing what may be the most sophisticated foreign interference operation in American history. In this must-watch episode, Joe connects the dots between Trump's latest speech and newly declassified Department of Homeland Security documents. The revelations are staggering: foreign adversaries, specifically the Chinese Communist Party, are accused of manufacturing fake driver's licenses for non-citizens to generate fraudulent mail-in ballots, with a jaw-grabbing 250,000 non-citizens already identified on voter rolls across just four reviewed states.We dive deep into the evidence the establishment tried to bury, featuring crucial footage and insider analysis you won't see anywhere else. From Raul's video detailing how a massive bank fraud scheme evolved into the wholesale theft of American identities sold to China, to Secretary Mullen's chilling warnings about how foreign entities can access and alter voting machines, we lay bare the mechanics of a compromised system. We also confront the institutional betrayal head-on, contrasting FBI Director Chris Wray's 2020 Russia deflections with the hard intelligence he was sitting on regarding active CCP meddling.While the left-wing media attempts a coordinated blackout and partisan figures scramble to run damage control, we show you exactly what they are so terrified of. Watch as we dissect the frantic, gaslighting reactions from Gavin Newsom, Raphael Warnock, and Colorado's own establishment defenders. This isn't just about exposing the "most secure election in history" myth—it's about the imminent push for real, legal accountability and prosecutions.
