Description: In recent weeks, China has remained resolutely defiant in the face of Donald Trump's "on again, off again" tariff policy. As the trade war between two global superpowers rumbles on, is it possible that America's traditional trade partners are rethinking old alliances? And who is Xi Jingping, the Chinese president hoping to trump his US counterpart? Host: Ellen Coyne | Guests: Kerry Brown and Erin HaleSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This morning's podcast begins with our amazing host, Mike Slater, reviewing the news that President Donald Trump is pausing tariffs on pretty much every nation EXCEPT China for 90 days. Why is he doing this? Is he folding? Why target the largest communist country in Asia? Slater has some thoughts that you'll want to hear on all of this!Following the opener, Mike speaks with Acy Cooper, President of the Louisiana Shrimp Association, about how Trump's recent fiscal moves have impacted the American seafood industry for the better! MAGA!

When U.S. President Donald Trump announced his long list of reciprocal tariffs, many instantly noticed that one country had escaped any restrictions: Russia. Does that mean Russia is now a safe haven amid the ongoing economic storm? And what are the consequences for Moscow of a falling oil price, and the unprecedented U.S. tariffs on China, Russia's most significant trading partner?

Today's bonus episode is taken from Monday, December 23, 2024 when I was filling-in on The Shelley Wynter Show on WSB in Atlanta, GA. We discuss a bit about the Matt Gaetz ethics report and how it's an obvious smear for both Gaetz and President-elect Trump. We spend a segment discussing Christmas movies and some of the songs we enjoy as bumps in and out of the breaks. I do mention newly released pics of Joe Biden introducing Hunter Biden to several members of the CCP including Xi Jingping, but, remember, Joe never knew any of Hunter's business dealings, right?

Elected officials in New Jersey and New York demand answers from the federal government on why drones continue to fly over the East Coast.

President-elect Donald Trump has invited China’s Xi Jingping to his inauguration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Host: Marty Carpenter  President-elect Donald Trump is waiting to hear back from Chinese President Xi Jingping after he invited him to attend his inauguration next month. Xi has yet to accept the invitation. Ambassadors and other diplomats are typically invited to inaugurations, but State Department records dating back to 1874 show that a foreign leader has never attended a transfer-of-power ceremony. Anna Pechenkina, Associate Professor of Political Science at Utah State University, joins Marty Carpenter to explain why this precedent is so intriguing. 

Heeft China met Nvidia de zwakke plek van de Verenigde Staten gevonden? De Chinese overheid start een onderzoek naar de chipmaker vanwege mogelijke 'monopoliepraktijken'. Daarmee richt het land zijn pijlen op één van Amerika's waardevolste bezittingen, in ieder geval uitgedrukt in beurswaarde. Hoe serieus moeten we dit nemen? En welke gevolgen kan dit hebben voor Nvidia? Je hoort het in deze aflevering. Daarin hoor je ook dat China alvast alles in gereedheid brengt voor een verdere escalatie van de handelsoorlog met de VS. China bereidt zich voor op een terugkeer van Donald Trump en kijkt met angst en beven naar zijn plannen. Zo wil Trump een taks van 60 procent heffen op Chinese producten. En dat kan de economie daar flink schaden. Aan de handelsoorlog gaat Trump géén einde maken, daar is China van overtuigd. Toch denkt Trump een andere oorlog - die in Oekraïne - wél te kunnen beëindigen. Beleggers geloven hem en dumpen daarom hun defensie-aandelen. Maar is dat wel zo slim? Of veel te voorbarig?  Tot slot hoor je waarom Fed-baas Jerome Powell niet hoeft te vrezen voor zijn baan, en wat spionnen toch bij ASML te zoeken hebben.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a very special episode, we're celebrating our hundred with a walk back along the yesteryears of Multipolarity. Two yesteryears in particular - 2023 and 2024. That's right: we're old enough to remember the Multipolar world back when it was a glint in Xi Jingping's extreme-UV lithography factories. Back when American decline was just a gobbet of drool on Joe Biden's chin. Back when the Middle East wasn't entirely on fire, and Germany hadn't yet totally fallen off a cliff. Before the Houthi rockets, the BRICS bank notes, and Tucker Carlson's Moscow hamburger. Back then, on January 10, 2023, there was a brand new podcast, but one sophisticated enough to have registered its own web domain. Now, after 100 episodes, we're taking some time, letting our belts out, pouring a glass of Macallan Lalique, putting some of our own classic grooves on the record player, and getting a bit wisftul. We'll be going on an audio tour of Multipolarity world. You'll hear a clip from an original show - then you'll hear us, reviewing it. What it meant then, what it means now. Where our predictions were off base - and where we were bang on target. We've charted the rise of a new multipolar world order. Now, we're charting the charting…*** Be excellent to each other, and -Get us on Twitter. https://www.x.com/multipolarpodOn Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/multipolarityOr on our Substack. https://substack.com/@multipolaritypod

Die Nachrichten an diesem Morgen: Der Krieg in der Ukraine überschreitet eine traurige Wegmarke. Am Rande des G-20-Gipfels in Rio spricht der Bundeskanzler mit Chinas Staatspräsidenten. Und die deutsche Nationalelf bestreitet ihr letztes Länderspiel des Jahres.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden y su homólogo de China, Xi Jingping participaron en el Foro de Cooperación Económica Asia-Pacífico APEC, que reunió en Perú a las principales figuras de 21 economías globales. El encuentro se realizó a solo días de la reunión COP29. ¿Pero cuál es el futuro del libre comercio y las políticas ambientales en el gobierno de Donald Trump? Los expertos debaten.

Le 18 septembre dernier, un triste fait divers a accru les tensions entre le Japon et la Chine. Un enfant japonais de 10 ans aété tué, poignardé sur le chemin de son école à Shenzhen, la grande métropole technologique et industrielle du Sud Est de laChine. Celle-ci parle d'un incident isolé, mais cette attaque a eu lieu le jour anniversaire du début de l'invasion de laMandchourie par le Japon en 1931 et survient 3 mois après l'attaque en juin d'un autre enfant japonais et de sa mère à unarrêt de bus.Elle s'insère dans un climat de dégradation des relations entre les deux pays. Le sentiment antijaponais en Chinea toujours été vivace, nourri de l'héritage de la Seconde guerre mondiale. Depuis un an on observe un regain des tensions et,le 26 août dernier, pour la première fois un avion de reconnaissance de l'Armée chinoise est entré dans l'espace aérienjaponais. Il est vrai que le rapport de force entre les deux Etats a considérablement changé en ½ siècle : à la fin des années1960 le Japon était la troisième puissance économique mondiale – derrière Etats-Unis et URSS, grâce à une croissanceéconomique spectaculaire, deux fois plus rapide que celle des autres pays occidentaux. À l'époque la Chine était un paysfermé, vivant au rythme des révolutions maoïstes, isolé dans la communauté internationale et dont les habitants vivaientpauvrement. En 2010 le PIB de la Chine a dépassé celui du Japon alors N°2. Depuis, la Chine ambitionne d'être numéro 1 dans tous les domaines, développant des ambitions maritimes, elle inquiète le Japon, surtout depuis l'arrivée de Xi Jingping au pouvoir en 2013 menant une politique plus autoritaire et plus agressive. Que peut faire le Japon ?Dans sa Nouvelle histoire du Japon, l'historien Pierre François Souryi écrit en 2023 : « Méprisé par son principal allié les Etats-Unis, à peu près ignoré par les Européens, incapable de s'entendre avec son voisin russe sur une frontière communémentadmise, suscitant toujours autant d'antipathie chez son voisin sud-coréen et menacé de ses fusées par Pyongyang, tenu àdistance par une Chine prompte à raviver les cicatrices de la guerre, le Japon est pour ainsi dire inaudible sur les grandsproblèmes du monde contemporain ».Le bilan est-il vraiment aussi accablant ? pour un pays qui possède pourtant maints critères de puissance ? Revenons àl'actualité.

The Dr B S Harishankar Memorial Lecture, Bharatiya Vichara Kendram, Trivandrum, 27th August 2024.A Malayalam version of this has been published by Janmabhumi newspaper at https://janmabhumi.in/2024/09/01/3258051/varadyam/geo-political-implications-for-bangladesh/It was startling to hear from retired Ambassador G Sankar Iyer on Asianet's program with Ambassador TP Sreenivasan that the celebrated Malayalam author Vaikom Mohammed Basheer (once nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature) said in 1973: “In Bangladesh, we have created yet another enemy.” With his novelist's insight, Basheer understood that the Two-Nation Theory held sway among certain sections of Bengalis.In the current crisis situation in 2024, the ongoing pogrom against Hindus (amounting to a virtual genocide) and the forced resignation of teachers, police officers and other officials based only on the fact that they are Hindus (there are videos that show them being beaten and humiliated even after resigning) suggests that anti-Hindu feeling is running rampant in Bangladesh. It is another kristallnacht.This is coupled with anti-India feeling. For instance, the current floods in Bangladesh are being blamed on India opening a dam in Tripura after torrential rains, although the Indian government has said that it provided all the hydrological data that it always has. The fact of the matter is that the departure of Sheikh Hasina is a blow to India's geo-political ambitions. It now appears as though India erred in “putting all its eggs into one basket” by cultivating only her Awami League, and not the Bangladesh National Party of her arch-rival Khaleda Zia. The indubitable fact that Indian influence in Bangladesh has now been supplanted by forces inimical to India raises the question of who might be behind the regime change operation. Beyond that, there is the question of whether it was indeed a popular uprising based on the suppressed ambitions of the people that led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina.The third question is what this means for Bangladesh, India and the region going forward, especially as climate change may alter the very geography of the area. It is predicted that as much as 11% of the land area of Bangladesh could be underwater by 2050. This could displace 18 million people, which would lead to unprecedented migration of their population into India. Regime Change operation: Who benefits from it?Cui bono? Who benefits? That Latin phrase is used to consider who might be motivated to commit a crime (the other part is who has the means to commit it). In this case of regime change in Bangladesh, there are several entities who might benefit. Obviously Pakistan. That country has never lived down its balkanization in 1971, and it had a number of its sympathizers already in place at that time. There were many who collaborated with the Pakistani Army in identifying Hindus and facilitating their killing or rape or ethnic cleansing, and also Muslims who were their political opponents. These are the people Sheikh Hasina referred to as “razakars”, and they are essentially in control now. China is a clear winner whenever something happens that hurts India's interests. There is the perennial issue of the Chicken's Neck, that narrow strip of land that connects the Seven Sister states of India's Northeast to the Gangetic Plain. It is a permanent threat to India that somebody (most probably China) will cut this off and truncate India, with the Northeast then becoming part of a Greater Bangladesh, with associated genocide of Hindus and Buddhists. Former Ambassador Veena Sikri spoke to Ambassador TP Sreenivasan about something very odd indeed: Sheikh Hasina made a state visit to China in mid July, and she was thoroughly humiliated there. Xi Jingping refused to meet her; and she cut her visit short by one day and returned to Dhaka. This is an unheard-of protocol violation for a State Visit; what it suggests is that China had decided that Sheikh Hasina was on the way out. This is in sharp contrast to a Xi visit in 2016 when he made grand promises about Belt and Road Initiative investments. The United States also has interests. Sheikh Hasina had alleged two things: * An unnamed Western power wants St Martin's Island (aka Coconut Island) off Cox's Bazaar as a military base to keep an eye on both China and India, * An unnamed Western power intends to form a new Christian Zo nation (for Mizo, Kuki, Chin) just like Christian homelands were carved out in East Timor and South Sudan.The implication was that the unspecified Western power was the US. It is not entirely clear that the US benefits greatly from a military base in the Bay of Bengal but there has been a long-running Great Game initiated by the British to keep India down as a supplier of raw materials and a market for their products. The US may have inherited this mantle.Intriguingly, the US Deep State and its proxies in the Western media had built a narrative around Sheikh Hasina as a model leader for developing Asia, a woman who also succeeded in improving the economic status of her country. That Bangladesh's per capita GDP had overtaken India's, and that its garment industry was doing well were used to mock India's own economic achievements. The switch to Hasina being a ‘dictator' was a sudden change in narrative.There is, therefore, enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that there was a foreign hand in the happenings in Bangladesh, although we will have to wait for conclusive evidence. Was this indeed a regime-change coup or a true popular uprising?It is true that Bangladesh under Sheikh Hasina's fifteen-year rule was not a perfect democracy. But there are mitigating factors, including a violent streak that led to the assassination of her father and independence hero Sheikh Mujibur Rahman just four years after the bloody birth of the new State after the Pakistan Army's assault on its Bengali citizens. The toppling and desecration of his statue shows that his national hero status may not be accepted by the entire population: in fact it looks like friends of Pakistan wish to erase his entire legacy. The history of democracy in independent Bangladesh is checkered and marred by violence. Before he was deposed and killed in 1975, Mujibur Rehman himself had banned all opposition parties. After Mujib, there was outright military rule till 1986, when the erstwhile Chief Martial Law Administrator Hussain Mohammed Ershad became the elected President. When Ershad was deposed after (student-led) agitations in 1991, Khaleda Zia (BNP or Bangladesh National Party) became the PM and after that she and her arch-rival Sheikh Hasina (Awami League) alternated in power. The BNP boycotted the 2018 elections partly because Khaleda Zia was jailed on allegations of corruption. In all of these twists and turns, ‘students' were involved. In 1971, when Yahya Khan launched Operation Searchlight, the Pakistani army went straight for students and professors in Dhaka University, especially if they were Hindus. Later too, ‘student' protests were instrumental in the overthrow of Ershad. The proximate cause of the troubles in 2024 was also a ‘student' uprising. There had been a 30% quota in government jobs for the children of freedom fighters; along with other such set-asides e.g. for minorities and women, a total of 56% of government jobs were ‘reserved' by 2018. This reservation system was largely abolished by Sheikh Hasina's government in 2018 after yet another student agitation. In June 2024, a High Court in Bangladesh overturned the 2018 judgment as unconstitutional. Even though the Supreme Court reversed it, and restored the status quo ante (of drastically reduced reservations to 7% in total), the peaceful ‘student' agitation suddenly morphed into a violent confrontation led by members of the Jamaat e Islami (an Islamist party) and the BNP. There was police firing. The Daily Star, a respected daily, found out that 204 people were killed in the first few days, out of which only 53 were students. It appears the supposed ‘student revolution' was taken over by professional agitators and agents provocateurs, and it rapidly led to the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina, with escalating violence, especially against Hindus, and the Army getting involved. Even though the Army is in charge now, there is a smokescreen of an ‘interim government' that allows entities like the UN an excuse to not impose sanctions on Bangladesh. It is hard to take it on face value that this was a popular uprising; circumstantial evidence suggests that there was a clear agenda for regime change, and since it suits both China and the US to keep India constrained, either of them could have been behind it. The diplomatic snub to Hasina in July suggests the Chinese were well aware of the coming coup. On the other hand, the sudden U-turn in the narrative about Hasina in the Western media suggests that the US might have decided to dump her. The process by which the regime change happened is also similar to what happened in other countries that experienced ‘color revolutions'. The actions of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and of some diplomats in supporting the BNP, have been offered as possible evidence of US bad faith.What is obvious is the role of the fundamentalist group, the Jamaat e Islami, which has strong connections with Pakistan. It seems likely that they were the enforcers, and had invested assets within the armed forces. They have called for the secular Bangladesh constitution to be replaced by Islamic Sharia law, and for non-Muslims to be treated as second-class citizens. The Yunus government has just unbanned the Jamaat e Islami.The attacks on Hindus, including large numbers of lynchings, rapes, and abductions of women, suggests that there is a religious angle and the Jamaat e Islami's prejudices are coming to the fore. Notably, the entire Western media, Amnesty International, the United Nations, and the USCIRF, human rights specialists all, had nothing at all to say about the horrific oppression of Hindus. The New York Times even had a headline about “revenge killings” of Hindus, as though somehow the 8% minority Hindus had been responsible for whatever Sheikh Hasina was accused of. Upon being called out, the NYT changed the headline to just  “killings” of Hindus with no explanation or apology.The role of Professor Mohammed Yunus is also intriguing: he had been invited to head an interim government in 2007 but abandoned the attempt and in fact left politics. He had been close to Sheikh Hasina at one point, for instance he got the licenses for his Grameen Phone during her rule, but they later fell out. Yunus' Nobel Peace Prize and his earlier stint in the US have raised questions about whether he is in fact managed by US interests.Given all this, it is much more likely that it was a coup than a popular agitation. It remains to be seen who was behind the coup. What next for India and the region?There are several long-term challenges for India. None of this is positive for India, which is already facing problems on its periphery (eg. Maldives and Nepal). The coup in Bangladesh also makes the BIMSTEC alliance as unviable as SAARC.1. Deteriorating India-Bangladesh RelationsThe overthrow of Sheikh Hasina, seen as a close ally of India, has led to a rise in anti-Indian sentiment in Bangladesh. The new government may not be as friendly towards India, especially on sensitive issues like trade and security. This could jeopardize the gains in bilateral ties over the past decade. The presence of hardliners among the ‘advisers' to the interim government suggests that India will have little leverage going forward.2. Increased Border Security RisksIndia shares a long, porous border with Bangladesh. The political instability and potential increase in extremist groups could lead to more infiltration, smuggling, and illegal migration into India's northeastern states, posing internal security risks. Monitoring the border region will be critical. As it is, there are millions of illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingya residing in India, which actually poses a threat to internal Indian security.3. Economic FalloutBangladesh is India's largest trading partner in the region, with $13 billion in commerce under the Hasina government. A deterioration in relations could hurt Indian exports and investments. The economic interdependence means India also has a stake in Bangladesh's stability and prosperity. Brahma Chellaney pointed out that Bangladesh is in dire straits, and has requested $3 billion from the IMF, $1.5 billion from the World Bank, and $1 billion each from the Asian Development Bank and the Japan International Cooperation Agency to tide over problems. 4. Climate Change ChallengesBoth countries are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, floods, droughts and extreme weather events. Bangladesh is especially at risk due to its low-lying geography. Millions of climate refugees could seek shelter in India, straining resources and social cohesion.  5. Geopolitical ImplicationsThe regime change has opened up space for China to expand its influence in Bangladesh. India will need to balance its ties with the new government while countering Chinese inroads in the region. The U.S. is also closely watching developments in Bangladesh. Instability in the region plays into the hands of Pakistan, whose medium-term ambition would be to detach India's Northeast as revenge for the creation of Bangladesh and for increasing normalization in J&K.6. Quota ImplicationsIndians, especially those agitating for ‘proportional representation' should note that the Bangladesh quota system was abolished in its entirety by Sheikh Hasina's administration in 2018 in response to student demands. India has a constitutional limit of 50% for reservations, but some are agitating for even more, which is a sure recipe for resentment and possibly violence. It is not inconceivable that it could be the spur for regime change in India as well.7. Human rights for Hindus and Buddhists; Citizenship Amendment Act and the Right to ReturnThe Hindu population in Bangladesh has fallen dramatically from about 28% in 1971 to about 8% now, and there is every indication that this is a demographic under extreme duress. Buddhist Chakmas in the Chittagong Hill Tracts are also under stress. India should enhance the CAA or create a formal Right to Return for Hindu and Buddhist Bangladeshis. Writing in Open magazine, Rahul Shivshankar pointed out that Hindus had faced attacks and threats in 278 locations across 48 districts.In summary, the fall of the Hasina government and the long-term threat of climate change compel India to rethink its Bangladesh policy. Fostering stable, democratic and economically prosperous neighbors is in India's own interest. Rebuilding trust and deepening cooperation on shared challenges will be key to navigating the new realities in the region.2350 words, Aug 26, 2024 Get full access to Shadow Warrior at rajeevsrinivasan.substack.com/subscribe

Australia is about to receive a visit from the most senior Chinese leader we've had on our shores in almost a decade. But this visit by Chinese Premier Li Qiang comes at an interesting time for China. President Xi Jingping is contending with economic stumbles and looming sanctions, making his vision for the future more precarious than ever. So what is going on inside Xi's inner circle? And what message will Xi's close political ally bring with him when he lands in Australia? Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Richard McGregor, on the rumours that are swirling about China's leadership and what they reveal about Xi's grip on power. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Contributor to The Saturday Paper and senior fellow for East Asia at the Lowy Institute, Richard McGregor

When Xi became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, no one assumed he would take up that position for life. But when Presidential term limits were abolished in 2018, it was widely understood that Xi had made himself supreme leader, and would remain head of the state, party, and military indefinitely. But how did Xi manage to pull this off, and how did everyone seemingly miss the signs? According to some sources, Xi made a swift powergrab, sweeping over party consensus and using guile and manipulation to crush his foes. The truth, however, may be a lot less straightforward (or exciting). Analysis suggest Xi not only went through tried and true boring procedures to gain his position, but that he did so with the explicit support of his fellow party members.Chapters (00:00) Introduction (04:29) Background on Xi(11:40) Predicitons about Xi's leadership(19:50) The state of China in 2012(34:50) Xi will be a weak leader(40:30) How Xi managed to turn the tide(47:45) The consensus of the Party as deciding factor(54:15) ConclusionsSupport the Show.Sign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

China wants Taiwan on the same terms that it took Hong Kong. 'One country two systems'. A bargain that Xi Jingping failed to honour. No wonder most Taiwanese are suspicious.Taiwan's upcoming Presidential election merits close attention. There probably isn't a 'good' outcome. Just ones that hasten or defer a potential confrontation.Latest inflation data, for end 2023, has generally disappointed. We still think inflation will continue to fall and central banks risk cutting rates too slowly.Ireland is drowning in cash - booming tax revenues - but lacks strategic fiscal direction. It's raining, so why salt money into a rainy day fund. Health, infrastructure, law & order and the environment are all crying out for resources. Instead, populist giveaways are the order of the day, whether from the government or opposition parties.The biggest fiscal threat facing Ireland is the unsustainability of booming corporate tax revenues. One way to deal with this is to boost the domestic side of the economy, especially SMEs. Ireland needs an IDA-type organisation to replicate the success of the real IDA with domestic firms.

Chinese president Xi Jingping may use the 100th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army in 2027 as motivation to invade Taiwan. The US has military bases in Japan and Korea, so any move on Taiwan would inevitably include America, bringing about the likelihood of World War III. In this episode of Global Truths, Dr Keith Suter looks at how and why 2027 is shaping up as a big year for Xi Jingping, and what how his decisions on China's future will resonate around the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The boys drink and review Brooklyn Brewery's Winter IPA, then discuss the rich men (north of Richmond) who want to tell us how to live and control every aspect of our lives. Seamus Bruner recently wrote a book called Controligarchs about how the super-rich want to tell all the rest of us how to live. Bruner singles out five on his book cover: Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, and George Soros. Noticeably absent is Elon Musk, who seems to be supporting personal freedom rather than top-down dominance. (Which is why the media hates him.) The controligarchs think they have the right and responsibility to tell us what to eat, what to drive, what to think, what to say, how to educate our children, how to spend our money .... "You'll eat bugs and you'll like it." Unfortunately, the population doesn't have the courage or integrity to tell them where to stuff it. As long as we have our cable TV and cheap food that can be delivered in less than 30 minutes, we're good. These controligarchs aren't taking their lead from traditional, consitutional American ideals. They're following Xi Jingping. It's time to resist these people.

We take on a bunch of stuff. We start out talking about Newsom, San Francisco and welcoming the Communist government from China. We cover the homeless issue and cleaning the streets, as well as Biden calling Xi Jingping a dictator. Then, we cover rumors of a military coup headed by Trump, and even get in a word about the pro-palestinian protests trying to take over a DNC building. And finally, we cover the issue of how to wrestle with God. That's right WWE, we teach how to wrestle with GOD HIMSELF.

This week we talk about President Biden's Chinese summit. We talk about the civil rights jury deadlock over Breonna Taylor's no knock warrant case, and we talk about Peach State Pride Hoodies.   Follow Ben on Twitter @benburnett Follow on Instagram at thebenburnettshowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Britain handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997 it was under a ‘One Country, Two Systems' governance model that guaranteed the continuation of a free press, an independent judiciary and the capitalism that underpins the former British colony's wealth. The agreement was to stay in place until 2047 but in the past decade China has begun stamping out key freedoms, with XI Jingping apparently intent on undermining Hong Kong's independence and on bringing the determinedly capitalist country more under its control. Irish Times China correspondent Denis Staunton explains how a security law introduced in 2020 is being used to stifle debate and press freedom and explores how far China is willing to go tear up the 1997 deal. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could in polite company- fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation every single day-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— The Alaska Airlines pilot accused of trying to turn off the engines of a Regional aircraft over the weekend—was apparently high on mushrooms—BUT I am not sure I was on a trip is a viable defense—   Number Two— The battle for the gavel is one political headline today—and so is Joe Biden skipping the New Hampshire Primary—and I mean, his name won't even be on the ballot—first time in a century—   Number Three— With two major wars raging—a wide open southern border and an economy that is teetering on the brink of failure—not just here but globally—there is a lot to distract us—   Millions of people never even look up from their smart phones to even care about what is happening in the world around them—lots of smart phones and billions of dumb people—to the architects of a Great Re-Set—job well done—   We live in a world that is driven by entertainment—I mean you have social media—all you can handle and more—plus pinterest and Facebook Marketplace to gobble up your attention and keep you looking away from the real emergencies that are in clear view—   Plenty of sports, porn, gambling—and never forget you can buy 5,000 calories on almost every street corner for a few dollars—and get fat and happy too—   You don't need to worry about much because the doctor has a pill for whatever ails you—   AND—if you fill out the right forms—its all free—especially if you aren't even a citizen—then there is more free stuff than you could ever imagine—   Places like the Big Apple are one big rotten mess—and nobody is doing anything at all to make things better—the politicians are lining their pockets while yours are getting empty—and the harder we work, the more they give away to those that don't want to lift a finger—   We in a world of distraction—and that will lead to destruction if we don't figure it out and soon—BUT with all the noise and everything competing for our attention, there is one thing that has become the common denominator—the one thing that is behind more of the chaos, wars, pandemics and financial failures than anything else—   That one thing is of course the Chinese Communist Party—and those in charge in Beijing—Xi Jingping is the most dangerous man in the world—and until his global domination aspirations are stopped—he always will be—   China pays Iran who pays Hamas and Hezbollah, China pays Russia—and China is footing the bill to create unrest and instability all over the world every single day—and they have been sowing the seeds of discontent for decades now—and NOW they are starting to see that dedication come to fruition—and its only going to get worse—I can guarantee you that—   China has already cornered the markets on such things as pharmaceuticals and rare earth elements—while they cheer on the global warming and climate change Nazi's—they ignore any real reforms at all—and move full speed ahead building reliable power plants that will burn Mongolian coal from the biggest coal mine in the world—giant Mack trucks run to the Chinese border 24 hours a day—delivering the thing most reviled by the likes of John Kerry and Greta Thunberg—   AND they have no intention of stopping—because the CCP understands that vast quantities of energy will be the ticket to win the last war and move into a position of becoming a Super Power—and controlling vast parts of the world—   The New Chinese Empire is operating far outside of the norms recognized by almost every other country around the world—and if there is a doubt about how this will play out—watch when they over run Taiwan in a single day—because that day is coming—and we will do nothing to stop it—because honestly I don't think we can—   And I am not the only one that has such grave concerns about the CCP and the intentions of Xi Jingping—the leaders of the 5 Eyes all believe the very same thing—China is by far the biggest global and existential threat to America—and every other nation on earth—they intend to run the whole thing—and they are not taking no for an answer—even if it means a cataclysmic war encircling the world—because China and the Chinese Communist Party thrive in chaos—its when they can make a move without being seen and its all part of the master plan we are seeing rolled out—   Scott Pelley and 60 Minutes at CBS News sat down all five leaders of the 5 eyes—and started digging for important answers—and for once, we actually got some—  Then of course it's the push right into America and every other country on earth—pushing as far as they can—until there is pushback—and someone says no—BUT more often than not the Chinese never even slow down—BUT that might be changing—    And the real grassroots level war between America and the communists is the same as it has been since the Bolshveik Revolution—that was really a coup—that was later sold as a revolution—BUT either way—it is slavery and oppression versus the Constitutional rights of all Americans and to a lesser degree—the rest of the world—   And unless we listen to what we are being told about the ruthless nature of the CCP—we are in real danger as a country—and so is all of Western Civilization—   So remember, while you're staring at your smart phone with your eyes glazed over—President Xi is looking at the world with grand ambition—and doesn't care one bit about you or anyone else—  

Joining us today to review the week in Washington and the world are Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former Pentagon Europe chief Jim Townsend with the Center for a New American Security, and Dr. Kathleen McInnis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join host Vago Muradian to discuss the race to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as House speaker and the look ahead to how the choice will shape the budget outlook and Ukraine spending, whether chaotic GOP and former President Trump's mounting legal woes and latest revelation he disclosed nuclear submarine information will dim Republicans' electoral prospects, global impact of congressional perfidy regarding assistance to Kyiv and prospect of Trump's return to office, Ukraine and EU membership, President Biden's upcoming meeting with Xi Jingping as Beijing escalates tensions with Taiwan and Philippines, Japan wants to accelerate $1.4 billion Tomahawk acquisition, US shoots down Turkish drone over Syria, and whether the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Narges Mohammadi will improve the lives of oppressed Iranian women.

Was the CCP's demise predicted in history? China's economy is on the verge of collapse, and the future looks even more grim for the Chinese Communist Party. Are they truly on the edge of a catastrophe, which has been prophesied throughout time? Hear the old story predicting Xi Jingping, the party's actions against Taiwan, and how this goes against the will of God and the universe. In Florida this week, Hurricane Idalia makes landfall. Is it just the result of climate change, or is severe weather part of something bigger happening in our world that was foreseen for centuries? Could the missing clouds of Neptune be a key element that explains what's happening on Earth? Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder Live as they dive deeper into these topics, plus get some hope when the world seems hopeless by joining the Rise.TV-exclusive Q&A and a meditation/prayer.

A federal appeals court has put a partial hold on the controversial ruling from a Texas Court that bans the widely used abortion pill mifepristone. Calls for California, Senator Dianne Feinstein to resign are growing louder after months of absence from Congress. And, Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is in China this week and is expected to meet with president Xi Jingping to discuss economic ties.

The Biden Administration is finally acknowledging what former President Donald Trump said long ago; TikTok is a problem. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the Justice Department is launching an investigation amid growing concerns that China is spying on U.S. journalists via its popular social media app. But the concerns are even deeper than the just the data Tiktok may be harvesting... the algorithms themselves are believed to be secretly working to destroy our country. I've got all the details.  Meanwhile, just days ahead of Xi Jing Ping's meeting with Vladimir Putin, the International Court came out with a historic move; it's accusing Putin of war crimes and has issued a warrant for his arrest.  Plus, new details on the banking crisis and what it means for your money -- and your privacy.  I'm joined today by Rep. Brad Wenstrup, Republican Congressman from Ohio, who is asking many questions about China and our fragile relationship with the country.  WATCH the show on my YOUTUBE Channel at: https://Youtube.com/TrishReganchannel or, on Rumble at: https://TrishReganShow.com Today's sponsors include:  https://LegacyPMInvestments.com https://RuffGreens.com/Trish  Support the show: https://trishregan.store/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, China is massively larger than Taiwan in population, military strength, and naval capacity. China is on the move, stealing technology, and leveraging the full power of its government-owned economy to strengthen its military. China's goal is "the great rejuvenation" of their country to expand the communists' national power. Whether we like it or not we're on a course towards war with China because they want a war. Then, America needs a Marshall plan to launch a Manhattan project of sorts to clean out the wokeness from the U.S military and make it strong again. A message must be sent to our enemies in China, Russia, Iran, and elsewhere that the U.S government isn't going after school board parents or former presidents, but we're going after our enemies instead. Later, was the greatest generation wrong about Europe? Were they wrong to risk their lives and fight for their country? What happened to the values and commitments of the tough American men of the greatest generation? Those strong patriotic values would offend people today. Afterward, Congressman Chris Smith calls in to explain how children in the Democratic Republic of Congo are exploited to mine cobalt for electric car batteries. Smith said that many kids end up with cancer and sadly these battery companies ingratiate themselves with Xi Jing Ping of China.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
