Le Real Madrid s'est fait corriger par le Paris Saint Germain (4-0) en demi finale de la Coupe du Monde des Clubs à New York. Une déroute inattendue pour les hommes de Xabi Alonso... ou pas au vu de la composition du XI titulaire avec les absences de Huijsen et de Trent. Etait ce prévisible ? Quels sont les enseignements à tirer de ce tournoi de façon plus globale ? Le coach sort il renforcé de cette séquence malgré tout ? Autant de questions que Gilchrist, Abdou et Mirna se posent tout en ouvrant le chapitre Mbappé qui a crée quelques remous sur l'après Mondial des Clubs.

Steve Gruber speaks with Gregory W. Slayton, former senior U.S. diplomat and author of Portraits of Ukraine: A Nation at War, to explore signs that Chinese President Xi Jinping's once iron grip may be weakening. Slayton draws on his deep diplomatic experience to analyze recent internal challenges in China, political discontent, economic pressures, and unexpected shifts in foreign policy, and discusses whether Xi faces a shakeup or even potential ouster in the near future.

Joseph Torigian's The Party's Interest Comes First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping is a monumental scholarly achievement — easily a contender for one of the best China books of the decade. Joseph's goal, in his own words, was to “shine as much light into the darkness of the past as possible” to understand the nature of authoritarian politics, and he succeeds beyond my wildest expectations. This biography gives me a feel for Chinese politics that I honestly thought I'd never have. It does an incredible job of digging deep to shed light on some of the most consequential moments in CCP history, as well as conveying what it was like to live as a senior official under Mao and Deng. Reading it was a powerful experience at both an intellectual and human level. We get memorable vignettes, like 15-year-old Xi Zhongxun attempting to assassinate a teacher, or General Peng Dehuai using his shoe to silence Xi Zhongxun's snoring in their shared bunk. In this interview, we discuss: What we can learn about authoritarianism, the CCP, and China's future from studying Xi's father, Torigian's methodology for uncovering hidden Party history, How the Party became an existential source of meaning, and how it weaponized suffering to paradoxically deepen political loyalty, The arc of Xi Zhongxun's life — from a young revolutionary to key advocate of reform — and his role during Tiananmen, The interplay of family, love, and career under the all-encompassing shadow of the Party, The role of “Surrogate fathers” and patronage in navigating political ascent, How literature shaped China's early revolutionaries, and even impacted the Party as we know it today.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a look at tensions between the PRC and the EU ahead of the EU-China summit later this month. Topics include: Reports concerning Wang Yi's comments to EU counterparts conveying Beijing's perspective on the Ukraine war, the PRC Foreign Ministry implores the EU to "rebalance its mindset" rather than rebalancing trade, and the rare earths leverage that looms as Europe mulls its next moves. From there: Stepped up party efforts to combat overcapacity and "disorderly competition," the decades-long challenge of stimulating consumption, and extended thoughts on the spate of rumors surrounding Xi's grip on power and what can and can't be gleaned from observed behavior the past few months. At the end: A bit of TikTok news, and a welcome to the NBA for Yang Hansen.

Après avoir repoussé au 17 septembre l'échéance imposée à la très populaire application chinoise de vidéos courtes pour céder sa filiale aux États-Unis, le président américain assure être « tout près » d'un accord avec Pékin. Pour les conservateurs américains, l'enjeu est aussi électoral. Les tarifs douaniers et la guerre commerciale ne sont pas les seuls dossiers à empoisonner les relations entre Washington et Pékin depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche. Le sort de TikTok est aussi source de crispation. Lors de son premier mandat, Donald Trump avait accusé l'application de servir les intérêts des services d'espionnages de Pékin, menaçant de l'interdire aux États-Unis. Mais c'est finalement Joe Biden qui, avec le soutien du Congrès, avait signé le décret imposant à ByteDance, la maison mère chinoise, de céder sa filiale américaine sous peine d'être mise sur liste noire. Un décret sur lequel Donald Trump n'est pas revenu, même si depuis, un peu comme pour les droits de douane, il ne cesse de repousser l'échéance, désormais fixée au 17 septembre prochain. Vendredi dernier, depuis Air Force One, le président américain assurait qu'un accord était « tout proche ». « Lundi ou mardi, nous allons en parler avec la Chine, le président Xi ou un de ses représentants », déclarait-il au pool de journalistes présents dans l'avion présidentiel. « Il faudra probablement obtenir l'aval de la Chine... mais ça n'est pas sûr. En tout cas, c'est un bon deal, pour la Chine et pour nous. » Un accord en vue selon Donald Trump Donald Trump assure qu'il a trouvé un repreneur américain, évoquant sans plus de précisions « un groupe de personnes très riches ». Mercredi 9 juillet, Reuters affirmait qu'une application exclusive au marché américain serait en préparation au sein de TikTok, ce qui tendrait à confirmer l'hypothèse d'un accord tout proche. Information aussitôt fermement démentie par ByteDance, tout comme l'entreprise chinoise avait balayé plus tôt les rumeurs de vente à un groupe d'entreprises américaines dirigé par Oracle. Lundi, un porte-parole du gouvernement chinois s'est contenté de dire que la position de Pékin sur ce dossier n'avait pas changé. Pas de quoi entamer l'optimisme débridé de Donald Trump, également persuadé qu'un « deal » rapporterait « beaucoup d'argent » aux États-Unis. Une affirmation contre-intuitive à première vue : si une ou des entreprises américaines rachètent TikTok, cela leur coûterait plusieurs dizaines de milliards de dollars, pas l'inverse. C'est sans compter la logique du président américain qui mélange allègrement intérêts publics et privés. « Sans permis, TikTok ne vaut rien », déclarait Donald Trump en janvier. « Alors qu'avec un permis ça vaut des centaines de milliards de dollars. Donc, je me disais, on pourrait dire à quelqu'un de l'acheter et d'en céder la moitié aux États-Unis en échange d'un permis. Les États-Unis sauraient se montrer très reconnaissants. » Un enjeu aussi électoral Mais l'intérêt de Donald Trump pour l'application de ByteDance est loin d'être seulement financier. « Nous avons remporté le vote des jeunes grâce à TikTok, donc j'ai un faible pour TikTok », rappelait le président américain en janvier, soudainement beaucoup plus conciliant avec l'application. Entretemps, Donald et ses alliés se sont peut-être rendu compte que TikTok n'avait pas favorisé le candidat républicain seulement auprès des jeunes. Au milieu d'un article du service data du Washington Post consacré à la bascule des minorités en faveur du camp conservateur au Canada, aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni, on retrouve une analyse plus poussée du vote des personnes racisées, celles et ceux que le journal appelle « les non blancs ».Traditionnellement, cette catégorie de la population vote plutôt démocrate, même quand ils sont plutôt conservateurs sur le plan des valeurs ou de l'économie. Mais c'est de moins en moins vrai, surtout quand ils ne s'informent pas en suivant le média majoritaire aux États-Unis : la télévision. Les minorités qui s'informent autrement votent tout autant démocrate que républicain. Et le seul média où elles sont mieux représentées que les personnes blanches, c'est... TikTok. Contrôler l'application chinoise, avoir la main sur son algorithme est donc un investissement stratégique en terme électoral pour les conservateurs américains, et donc pour Donald Trump.

These mines are primarily located in western states, with Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and Montana accounting for over 99% of domestic copper production.  The tariff, announced to counter imports (primarily from Chile, Canada, and Peru, which supply over 90% of US refined copper imports), may incentivize domestic production but won't immediately resolve capacity issues. Posts on X suggest US producers might see fatter margins without significantly increasing output due to the time required to develop new mines (years) and smelting constraints. Current Production Capacity: In 2024, US copper mine production was approximately 1.17 million metric tons, a slight decline from previous years (1.3 million tons in 2022). Major producers like Freeport-McMoRan, Rio Tinto, and Grupo Mexico (Asarco) operate key mines such as Morenci (Arizona, 399,100 metric tons in 2023) and Kennecott (Utah, 169,300 metric tons in 2023). These mines are fully operational, but some face challenges like declining ore grades (averaging 0.4% copper compared to 0.6% in Chile) and labor shortages.  : While the US has significant copper reserves (estimated at 48 trillion tons), production is limited by long permitting timelines (often decades), environmental regulations, and insufficient smelting/refining capacity. Only two primary smelters operate in the US (Rio Tinto's Kennecott and Freeport-McMoRan's Miami), and about 30% of mined copper is exported for processing due to this bottleneck.  Several development projects,

President Xi Jinping has called on North China's Shanxi province to further promote the transformation and development of the resource-based economy and strive to write its own chapter in advancing Chinese modernization.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks during his inspection of the province on Monday and Tuesday.The inspection tour took him to Yangquan, a city renowned for its coal mining heritage, and Taiyuan, the provincial capital.Shanxi is one of the regions with the highest concentration of resource-based cities in China. For a long time, its economic development relied on coal mining. To implement the low-carbon development strategy, the province is striving to build itself into a national pilot zone for overall reform for the transformation of the resource-based economy.While hearing the work report by the provincial authorities on Tuesday morning in Taiyuan, Xi urged Shanxi to steadily promote transformation and development of the traditional industry in an orderly manner, with a focus on energy transition, industrial upgrading and moderately diversified development of its economy.He underlined the need for the province to upgrade the coal industry and transform coal from a primary fuel to a high-value product, while ensuring the country's coal supply.Efforts should be made to build Shanxi into the nation's important energy and raw material base at a higher level, and shape a new type of energy system supporting the development of wind power, photovoltaic power and hydrogen energy, he said.Xi highlighted the need to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and plan emerging and future industries based on local conditions to gradually form a modern industrial system reflecting Shanxi's characteristics and comparative advantages.He also urged the province to make good use of conditions for diversified development, optimize its business environment, stimulate the vitality of market entities, and better transform the strength in resources into a development advantage.Xi emphasized that efforts must be made to ensure security and stability during the process of promoting transformation and development, with an emphasis on ensuring the stability of employment, enterprises, markets and expectations.In recent years, China has been working to transform and upgrade traditional industries to promote high-quality economic growth. During his inspection tours nationwide, Xi has urged various regions to develop new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions and make greater progress in industrial transformation.Zhang Li, president of the China Center for Information Industry Development, said that accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries is not only an important step to enhance the resilience and security of industrial and supply chains, but also a necessary requirement for the country to promote the new type of industrialization and step up construction of a manufacturing powerhouse.In the new circumstances, China must persist in promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, nurturing and expanding emerging industries, and simultaneously developing future industries, Zhang said in an article published in the latest issue of Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee."Only by doing so can we consolidate and enhance the leading position of advantageous industries and the competitiveness of the whole industry, and keep a competitive edge globally," he said.During his tour in Yangquan on Monday, Xi visited Yangquan Valve Co, where he inspected the company's production workshop and products display, and had a conversation with workers at the site.He said that traditional manufacturing is an important part of the real economy, and it is essential to target market demand and strengthen technological innovation to revitalize the traditional industry.Xi told the company's employees that China's industrial development used to rely on physical labor, but today it relies on advanced technology and equipment to improve productivity. He expressed the hope that they would continue to work hard and make greater contributions to building a strong manufacturing country.Zhao Zihao, an information technology specialist at the company, said he was inspired by Xi's remarks on revitalizing traditional industry with intelligent technologies."President Xi encouraged us, particularly the younger generation of workers, to leverage our strength in expertise to drive industrial transformation," Zhao said."He placed trust and confidence upon us. I feel a strong sense of responsibility."

Texas Flash Flood Tragedy Sparks Grief and Political Blame Game At least 80 people are dead and 40 more are missing after catastrophic July 4th flooding in Texas Hill Country. Among the victims are 10 girls from a Christian summer camp and the camp's heroic owner, Richard Eastland. Despite early and extensive weather warnings, some Democrats blame Trump's NOAA budget cuts for the disaster. Bryan calls these claims factually wrong and morally reprehensible. Trump's Economy Faces Tariff Deadlines and Debt Market Concerns “Liberation Day” tariffs are set to kick in this Wednesday unless trade deals are finalized. While countries like India and the EU ask for exemptions, agriculture remains a sticking point. Meanwhile, the Trump economy shows strength in jobs and wages, but rising debt levels have bond markets on edge. Economist advice: keep personal debt low. Gaza Truce in the Works as Hamas Control Collapses President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu are expected to finalize a ceasefire. A Hamas fighter admits the group has lost command, paychecks have stopped, and Israeli drones now dominate the skies. With clans taking over and Hamas in shambles, Bryan asks what a truce really means when there's no one left to enforce it. Iran Sends Saboteurs Through U.S. Border, Issues Death Warrants Iran's clerics issue fatwas calling for the assassinations of Trump and Netanyahu. U.S. intel warns that 35 Iranian operatives are being smuggled in via Mexican cartels. Customs and Border Protection confirms a terror alert is in effect, centered on southern California. China's Xi Might Be Ill or Facing a Coup China's foreign minister admits Beijing wants the Ukraine war to drag on, shocking European diplomats. At home, Xi Jinping is missing public events, sidelining generals, and delegating power. Analysts suspect serious illness or a power struggle is underway, as Xi's diplomatic blunders pile up. Mexican Protesters Demand Americans Leave Demonstrators in Mexico City call U.S. “digital nomads” an invasion, blaming them for high rents and cultural erosion. Signs read “Americans go home.” Mexico's government defends foreigners, but the protests reflect deepening resentment. UK Opera House Goes Dark When Wind Stops Blowing A British opera house that relies solely on wind power suffers six blackouts during a performance, eventually canceling the show. The story underscores the limits of unreliable green energy, leading Bryan to suggest they rebrand as a House of Blues. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

The future of China-United States relations lies with young people, President Xi Jinping said in a recent reply to teachers and students of the US youth pickleball cultural exchange delegation from the US state of Maryland. In April, the delegation from public schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, visited China for pickleball exchanges as part of the initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China over a five-year span for exchange and study programs. The delegation later wrote a letter to Xi, thanking him for proposing the study and exchange initiative, which was first announced by Xi during his trip to the US in 2023.In the letter, the delegation members described their experiences during their visit to China and their participation in the pickleball exchange program. They said the trip enabled them to forge unforgettable friendships with their Chinese counterparts and that they hope to invite Chinese youths to visit the US.In his reply, Xi congratulated them on the success of their visit to China and said he is very happy to see pickleball become a new bond bridging the youths of China and the US. Xi said that he hopes the delegation members will become a new generation of ambassadors of friendship between the two nations and make greater contributions to enhancing the friendship between the two peoples.Pickleball, a rapidly growing sport in the US, is a hybrid of tennis, badminton and table tennis. From April 10 to 20, the delegation of 44 students and teachers from 13 schools in Montgomery County visited Shanghai, Shenzhen in Guangdong province, and Beijing, according to Xinhua News Agency. "Through pickleball, it is very easy to make friends. It's great for creating bonds that will last forever," Ryan Corkery, a student with the delegation, told Chinese reporters during the trip. "This journey has been amazing," he added. "We have tasted so many new foods, had so many new experiences, everything is just fantastic."Ian Harper, another student with the delegation, said: "It is awesome just seeing both how different everything here is and how much similar it is. I think both of those were really shocking to me. It has been just an incredible, life-changing, amazing, awesome experience."As part of his consistent support for China-US youth exchanges, President Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, replied on Jan 1 to a Chinese New Year greeting card from teachers and students of Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, extending best wishes for the Year of the Dragon. Xie Feng, Chinese ambassador to the US, told a cultural event on Jan 11 that nearly 15,000 youths from all 50 US states and Washington, DC, had so far visited China under the initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China for exchanges. From Wednesday to July 18, Fu­zhou, the capital of Fujian province, and Beijing will provide venues for the Bond with Kuliang: 2025 China-US Youth Choir Festival — another major China-US youth exchange event. The event is expected to bring together outstanding choirs from China and the US, including over 500 young people from US states including Utah, Washington and California.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comWhy does Xi Jinping, one of the world's most powerful leaders, believe the Communist Party deserves unwavering loyalty—even after it persecuted his own family?Author and political historian Joseph Torigian joins Faithful Politics to unpack his groundbreaking biography, The Party's Interest Come First, a deeply researched portrait of Xi Zhongxun, father of China's current president. With insights drawn from rare archival material, spy memoirs, and even interviews with the Dalai Lama, Torigian helps us understand how personal suffering shaped the elder Xi's devotion to party discipline—and how that legacy forged Xi Jinping's authoritarian vision for modern China. We explore the moral logic of elite politics in Beijing, the party's uneasy relationship with religious minorities like Christians and Catholics, and why understanding history is essential to forecasting China's future.As China's global influence grows and tension with the West intensifies, this conversation couldn't be more timely—or more vital.

During the Cold War, American experts would scrutinize every shred of evidence – including who stood where on Lenin's tomb during military parades – for clues about Kremlin leadership struggles and their implications for our security.  A similar phenomenon is underway at the moment regarding  China's secretive Communist hierarchy. Purges of senior military officers believed to be loyal to the current Chinese “emperor,” Xi Jinping, his recent, protracted absences – both physical and from the state-controlled media, and rumors of his ill-health are feeding speculation he may soon be toppled from power. A timely webinar today will assess whether Xi's days as absolute dictator are indeed numbered. And, either way, whether the advanced state of his preparations for a shooting war means that we are at a moment of acute danger – and what's our appropriate response.  Join us at noon Eastern Time at PresentDangerChina.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

Today, Les, Martha, and Jeffrey unpack the swirl of rumors that emerged from Beijing after Chinese President Xi Jinping disappeared from public view for several weeks in May. With whispers of internal dissent, missed Politburo meetings, and PLA shakeups, questions are mounting about the stability of Xi's leadership—and whether the Chinese Communist Party is entering a new phase of uncertainty.As China grapples with deepening economic troubles, demographic decline, and foreign policy stumbles, speculation over leadership succession and elite discontent is running high. Is this a genuine power shift in the making—or a loyalty test typical of CCP politics? Either way, the turbulence may mark a weaker and more unpredictable chapter for Beijing.Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://nypost.com/2025/06/28/opinion/is-chinese-pres-xi-jinping-on-his-way-out/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=pasteboard_app https://www.wsj.com/opinion/where-was-xi-jinping-in-irans-hour-of-need-china-strikes-israel-us-5b04fdb3 Follow our experts on Twitter: @lestermunson @marthamillerdcLike what we're doing here?

Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on July 6th and 7th of 2025. The latest BRICS summit expects to see the entrance of 44 more countries into the alliance and the calls for a total shift away from the US Dollar into a new world reserve currency system under BRICS+. While Putin cannot attend due to an ICC arrest warrant and Xi cannot attend due to inner problems between China and India, the overall agenda remains in place as the alliance gains more than half the world's population. The power shift was scripted long ago with the west falling to the east. The west of course propped up the east as the inevitable replacement system with a cashless society and a global technocracy as the goal. The 17th BRICS Summit is sure to cause panic among the dollar maximalists but the issue remains the same regardless of the dollar falling to BRICS or not. There will still be a CBDC system as a replacement for the failed world reserve fiat currency as all fiat currencies eventually fail. As we witness a banking crisis, the shift into a depression, a housing crisis, an employment crisis and massive inflation, the replacement system will be a digital ID with rations. That is, if you keep your money in the bank. Russia is launching their mandated digital ID wallet and "WeChat" type application. The UK and European Union are launching their digital ID. The United States and Canada are launching their own digital IDs including corporations like XMoney owned by Elon Musk releasing their own CBDC and digital infrastructure in cooperation with 'Episodesix.' The EU is launching their CBDC by October and the United States has passed the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act which involves stable coins with KYC as well as the use of this surveillance technology within banks. The whole purpose of crypto in the first place was to avoid the banking system. We are witnessing history and with chaos comes order as wars heat up. This is exactly the scripted move the establishment wanted in the first place. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

ITP - 124 Greg (currently in the Middle East) and Jacqueline (currently in Canada) talk once again with returning guest Noah Spaulding (currently in Pakistan) to reflect on his wide-ranging journey as an international educator. From Honduras to Qatar, China to Pakistan, Noah shares thoughtful stories about life and work overseas—what it's taught him, how it's shaped his approach to education, and what it's meant for his family. The conversation touches on everything from cultural adaptation and school systems to the realities of raising kids abroad and navigating customs with a suitcase full of “essentials.” It's an honest and often humorous look at the rewards, challenges, and personal growth that come with living and teaching internationally. We'd like to publicly thank Noah for returning to the show!

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, there's a CNN poll showing 79% of Americans (83% Republicans, 79% Democrats/independents) oppose Iran's nuclear ambitions, with a slight majority favoring U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites (69% of Republicans agree, 27% oppose).  This refutes the small group of isolationists, amplified by the media, who downplay Iran's threat and align with left-wing narratives, asserting most Americans support Trump's strong stance on national security. These isolationist voices are paper tigers who align with left-wing media to downplay Iran's threat and question intelligence on Iran's nuclear program and assassination attempts against President Trump. They are ideologically driven and out of touch with red-blooded Americans who prioritize national security and common-sense foreign policy. Also, Roger Zakheim, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute, calls in to discuss a comprehensive Reagan Institute Summer Survey. It highlights key issues impacting U.S. security and prosperity, with preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon topping the list at 84%, reflecting widespread concern about nuclear proliferation. Americans expressed strong support for Israel striking Iran's nuclear program, even before recent events. Zakheim explained that nearly 90% of Republican respondents, aligned with Trump's base, favor action against Iran's nuclear ambitions.  Later, Communist China, and their genocidal Marxist dictator Xi, is watching closely what's taking place in Iran.  If we were weak or equivocating, they would take that as a signal to more aggressive seek global domination.  If we were resolute and strong, they would take that into consideration -- not necessarily preventing them from eventually acting but perhaps reassessing how aggressive they would want to be.  President Trump's historical leadership has sent exactly the right message to Xi.  Resolve and strength.

5/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of XI Zhongxun, Father of XI Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by  Joseph Torigian  (Author) https://www.amazon.com.au/Partys-Interests-Come-First-Zhongxun/dp/1503634752/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 1949 XI ZHONGXUN China's leader, Xi Jinping, is one Cf the most powerful individuals inCtheCworld--and one of the least understood. Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP--and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.
