The Chinese Communist Party has persisted since seizing power in 1949 because of a fundamental failure on the part of American and international leaders to understand the nature of the communist system it imposed. These include the failure to properly identify its nefarious activities, its strategic goals, and most importantly seeing through its grand deceptions all of which are driven by its ideology – dubbed Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics.This episode explores the heart of the problem -- the failure of national leaders to tell the truth about Chinese communist acts of aggression. There is willful blindness. There is wishful thinking. There is mirror imaging. There is corruption. There are all sorts of business interests that would prefer to try to do harmonious business with the Chinese Communist regime, just the way businesses sought to make money doing business with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and with Nazi Germany before that.The counterproposal section offers a powerful solution to defeating communism ideologically through understanding the nature of God. The news section presents new information about Beijing's strategic deception operations, and the interview portion hears from Miles Yu, a former State Department policymaker and China specialist.

We close by highlighting a viral cultural phenomenon unfolding inside China, which saw tens of thousands of young people harmlessly riding bicycles overnight to go get dumplings. The CCP has since shut down nighttime bike riding as a response, and Miles details why the CCP's paranoia of this large gathering of light-hearted youth could be a sign of things to come.

Hudson expert Miles Yu opens with his assessment of the BRICS summit held last week in Kazan, Russia, and whether it accomplished anything other than a moral victory for Vladimir Putin's legitimatization campaign. Second, he analyzes the conveniently timed agreement between China and India over their longstanding border dispute in the Himalayas and argues that the solution is more a circumstantial strategy shift than a true settlement. Finally, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te visited the Island of Quemoy to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Guningtou, which Miles likens to both the Battle of Saratoga and the Battle of Midway in terms of significance in shaping Taiwan's history.

South Korean intelligence services have revealed credible evidence that North Korea has deployed upwards of 12,000 troops for training and ultimately combat alongside Russia in the war against Ukraine.

On October 1st the Chinese Communist Party commemorated 75 years of CCP rule over mainland China. Meanwhile October 10th serves as Taiwan's national day. For two countries, so geographically close, and so historically tied, to share national days so close and historically tied, creates an obvious political rivalry. Miles Yu lays out for us how this national day rivalry manifests itself. Next, we analyze President Lai's recent refusal of a "peace agreement" with China, deciding instead to publicly push a desire for "peace through strength and self-defense." And last, with the 1-year anniversary of the October 7th terror attacks in Israel upon us, Miles reflects on China's role and goals in the Middle East. 

China's Communist Party broke with the Soviet Union over the denunciation of Stalin in the 1950s and remains a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist regime that regards its version of communism with Chinese characteristics as the only true ideology. In fact, Chinese communism remains as false and misleading as its Soviet progenitor. This episode looks at how the CCP continues to grapple with its faulty ideology and seeks to cover up its false tenets with new tools of obfuscation. The counterproposal section discusses how Chinese communism operates as a false religion, and highlights the need for the use of truth to counter its precepts. The news portion examines how the People's Liberation Army is supercharging its propaganda and influence operations on American social media with artificial intelligence.

Linda Sun, a New York public official and senior advisor for New York governors Cuomo and Hochol, has been charged with being a Chinese agent while in office. Miles Yu addresses what she is accused of, and takes a wider look at the history of Chinese espionage.  Next, we analyze why a seemingly local fender-bender turned into a microcosm demonstrating the Chinese Communist Party's mistreatment of its veterans.

He ends by explaining the CCP's controversial plan to raise the retirement age in China.

Deterring the aggressive ambitions of Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party will require more than just setting red lines. Hudson Senior Fellow, John Lee, joins host Miles Yu to explain why it will require an international coalition with both the capability and resolve to effectively counter the CCP with strategies that both deny and impose cost.  Read John Lee's new report titled, "Deterring China: Imposing Nonmilitary Costs to Preserve Peace in the Taiwan Strait." 

After yet another stabbing attack hit headlines, which saw a Chinese man attack a Japanese woman and her son, Miles Yu explains why the Chinese Communist Party and its state-fueled propaganda machine are at fault for rising xenophobia in China.

China is a destructive outlier in the global energy arena. Fifty-five percent of its power still comes from coal, and 17% comes from hydroelectric dams that generate as much geostrategic conflict as they do power. On the other hand, they are attempting to lead the world in electric vehicles and nuclear power. So how does the Chinese Communist Party plan to keep this strategy moving forward as  the countries demands skyrocket?For the inaugural episode of our new "Insider Interviews," host Miles Yu is joined by Hudson Senior Fellow Thomas Duesterberg to provide answers from his report on China's historical water struggles and solutions.  Read Tom's report titled The Global Impact of China's Water and Related Environmental Problems.
