Podcasts about Xi Jinping

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of current events and cultural commentary, dissecting some of the most heated stories making headlines right now. The duo unpacks the drama between Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk, with Candace claiming vindication after Turning Point USA confirmed explosive texts about donor influence and shifts in support for Israel. Tom explores how the fight for narrative control in the digital age is changing the very fabric of truth and consensus, raising big questions about manufactured consent and the chaos of competing realities. The conversation doesn't stop there. Tom and Drew tackle charged issues around immigration and law enforcement, reacting to Stephen Miller's fiery CNN appearance and weighing in on the complexities—and consequences—of labeling protesters as domestic terrorists. They also dig into alarming new job loss data, discussing whether America is already in a stealth recession and what it means for workers, entrepreneurs, and the broader economy. Rounding things out, the guys look internationally, breaking down new reports that Chinese President Xi Jinping's grip on power may be slipping, and what that could mean for the ongoing trade war with the US. Tom shares his thoughts on leadership, the need for shared national narratives, and the vital importance of economic reform. It's an episode packed with hot takes, deep dives, and the kind of honest, thought-provoking analysis you've come to expect from Impact Theory.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1900 KYIV THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS THAT CONGRESS IS CAPABLE OF CUTTING SPENDING..... 10-8-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Arab Intellectuals Fail Palestinians by Prioritizing Populism and Victimhood Narrative in Gaza ConflictGUEST NAME: Hussain Abdul-Hussain SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Hussain Abdul-Hussain about Hamas utilizing the power of victimhood to justify atrocities and vilify opponents. Arab and Muslim intellectuals have failed Palestinians by prioritizing populism over introspection and self-critique. Regional actors like Egypt prioritize populist narratives over national interests, exemplified by refusing to open the Sinai border despite humanitarian suffering. The key recommendation is challenging the narrative and fostering a reliable, mature Palestinian government. 915-930 HEADLINE: Arab Intellectuals Fail Palestinians by Prioritizing Populism and Victimhood Narrative in Gaza ConflictGUEST NAME: Hussain Abdul-Hussain SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Hussain Abdul-Hussain about Hamas utilizing the power of victimhood to justify atrocities and vilify opponents.

Regional actors like Egypt prioritize populist narratives over national interests, exemplified by refusing to open the Sinai border despite humanitarian suffering. The key recommendation is challenging the narrative and fostering a reliable, mature Palestinian government. 930-945 HEADLINE: Russian Oil and Gas Revenue Squeezed as Prices Drop, Turkey Shifts to US LNG, and China Delays Pipeline GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Michael Bernstam about Russia facing severe budget pressure due to declining oil prices projected to reach $40 per barrel for Russian oil and global oil surplus. Turkey, a major buyer, is abandoning Russian natural gas after signing a 20-year LNG contract with the US. Russia refuses Indian rupee payments, demanding Chinese renminbi, which India lacks. China has stalled the major Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline project indefinitely. Russia utilizes stablecoin and Bitcoin via Central Asian banks to circumvent payment sanctions. 945-1000 HEADLINE: UN Snapback Sanctions Imposed on Iran; Debate Over Nuclear Dismantlement and Enrichment GUEST NAME: Andrea Stricker SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Andrea Stricker about the US and Europe securing the snapback of UN sanctions against Iran after 2015 JCPOA restrictions expired. Iran's non-compliance with inspection demands triggered these severe sanctions. The discussion covers the need for full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program, including both enrichment and weaponization capabilities, to avoid future conflict. Concerns persist about Iran potentially retaining enrichment capabilities through low-level enrichment proposals and its continued non-cooperation with IAEA inspections. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Commodities Rise and UK Flag Controversy: French Weather, Market Trends, and British Politics GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Simon Constable about key commodities like copper up 16% and steel up 15% signaling strong economic demand. Coffee prices remain very high at 52% increase. The conversation addresses French political turmoil, though non-citizens cannot vote. In the UK, the St. George's flag has become highly controversial, viewed by some as associated with racism, unlike the Union Jack. This flag controversy reflects a desire among segments like the white working class to assert English identity. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Commodities Rise and UK Flag Controversy: French Weather, Market Trends, and British Politics GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Simon Constable about key commodities like copper up 16% and steel up 15% signaling strong economic demand.

This flag controversy reflects a desire among segments like the white working class to assert English identity. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: China's Economic Contradictions: Deflation and Consumer Wariness Undermine GDP Growth ClaimsGUEST NAME: Fraser Howie SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Fraser Howie about China facing severe economic contradictions despite high World Bank forecasts. Deflation remains rampant with frequently negative CPI and PPI figures. Consumer wariness and high youth unemployment at one in seven persist throughout the economy. The GDP growth figure is viewed as untrustworthy, manufactured through debt in a command economy. Decreased container ship arrivals point to limited actual growth, exacerbated by higher US tariffs. Economic reforms appear unlikely as centralization under Xi Jinping continues. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: Takaichi Sanae Elected LDP Head, Faces Coalition Challenge to Become Japan's First Female Prime Minister GUEST NAME: Lance Gatling SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Lance Gatling about Takaichi Sanae being elected head of Japan's LDP, positioning her to potentially become the first female Prime Minister. A conservative figure, she supports visits to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine. Her immediate challenge is forming a majority coalition, as the junior partner Komeito disagrees with her conservative positions and social policies. President Trump praised her election, signaling potential for strong bilateral relations. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 VHEADLINE: DeepSeek AI: Chinese LLM Performance and Security Flaws Revealed Amid Semiconductor Export Circumvention GUEST NAME: Jack Burnham SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Jack Burnham about competition in Large Language Models between the US and China's DeepSeek. A NIST study found US models superior in software engineering, though DeepSeek showed parity in scientific questions. Critically, DeepSeek models exhibited significant security flaws. China attempts to circumvent US export controls on GPUs by smuggling and using cloud computing centers in Southeast Asia. Additionally, China aims to dominate global telecommunications through control of supply chains and legal mechanisms granting the CCP access to firm data.E V 1115-1130 HEADLINE: DeepSeek AI: Chinese LLM Performance and Security Flaws Revealed Amid Semiconductor Export Circumvention GUEST NAME: Jack Burnham SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Jack Burnham about competition in Large Language Models between the US and China's DeepSeek.

This highlights mainland Chinese influence operations utilizing influencers who push themes of military threat and Chinese greatness. Chen is suspected of having a mainland-affiliated paymaster due to lack of local commercial support. Taiwan's population primarily identifies as Taiwanese and is unnerved by constant military threats. A key propaganda goal is convincing Taiwan that the US will not intervene. 1145-1200 HEADLINE: Sentinel ICBM Modernization is Critical and Cost-Effective Deterrent Against Great Power CompetitionGUEST NAME: Peter Huessy SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Peter Huessy about the Sentinel program replacing aging 55-year-old Minuteman ICBMs, aiming for lower operating costs and improved capabilities. Cost overruns stem from necessary infrastructure upgrades, including replacing thousands of miles of digital command and control cabling and building new silos. Maintaining the ICBM deterrent is financially and strategically crucial, saving hundreds of billions compared to relying solely on submarines. The need for modernization reflects the end of the post-Cold War "holiday from history," requiring rebuilding against threats from China and Russia. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Supreme Court Battles Over Presidential Impoundment Authority and the Separation of Powers GUEST NAME: Josh Blackman SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Josh Blackman about Supreme Court eras focusing on the separation of powers. Currently, the court is addressing presidential impoundment—the executive's authority to withhold appropriated funds. Earlier rulings, particularly 1975's Train v. City of New York, constrained this power. The Roberts Court appears sympathetic to reclaiming presidential authority lost during the Nixon era. The outcome of this ongoing litigation will determine the proper balance between executive and legislative branches. 1215-1230 HEADLINE: Supreme Court Battles Over Presidential Impoundment Authority and the Separation of Powers GUEST NAME: Josh Blackman SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Josh Blackman about Supreme Court eras focusing on the separation of powers.

ULA's non-reusable rockets contrast with SpaceX's cheaper, reusable approach, while Blue Origin continues to lag behind. Other developments include Firefly entering defense contracting through its Scitec acquisition, Rocket Lab securing additional commercial launches, and the likely end of the long-running Juno Jupiter mission due to budget constraints. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Space Force Awards Contracts to SpaceX and ULA; Juno Mission Ending, Launch Competition Heats UpGUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Bob Zimmerman about Space Force awarding over $1 billion in launch contracts to SpaceX for five launches and ULA for two launches, highlighting growing demand for launch services.

Joseph Sternberg details China's economic "pickle," resulting from the property bubble collapse and failure of its export-led model. The subsequent glut of goods risks deflation, which Beijing calls "involution," dangerously exacerbating vast debt problems. He notes that Xi Jinping resists market-led "creative destruction," prioritizing state control. Sternberg then analyzes London protests, concluding they are motivated by anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment, irrespective of the Gaza peace talks. PM Starmer calling the protests "unbritish" reflects the government's difficulty in addressing these issues legally 1910 SHIPWRECKED

She anticipates a public backlash, particularly due to rising electricity costs and the reliance on renewable mandates in uncompetitive markets like California and New York. Water scarcity issues are also a significant concern, comparable to the public reaction to fracking. Peek notes that elected representatives must address how these massive buildings impact the national conversation regarding resource allocation and pricing. 915-930 Elizabeth Peek discusses the growing demands that massive data centers place on local resources, including electricity, water, and workforce.

He discusses Turkey's wild card role, advocating for Hamas's survival. Iran, reeling from economic isolation and military impacts, has shown a surprising willingness to accept a ceasefire. Schanzer concludes that Saudi Arabia's MBS is primarily focused on achieving normalization with Israel to secure US security guarantees, potentially setting a precedent for other Muslim nations. 1045-1100 Jonathan Schanzer reports cautious optimism for the Gaza deal in Cairo, noting the main challenges include locating all hostages (alive and deceased) and Hamas's refusal to disarm.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Ivana Stradner asserts that Putin is dangerously escalating hybrid warfare, using drones to challenge NATO and test Article 5. She notes Russia employs Soviet psychological tactics, like nuclear saber-rattling and "reflexive control," exploiting Western fears. The West must respond decisively with power and aid for Ukraine, not words, and actively counter Russian plots and intelligence operatives. She highlights Moscow's failed attempts to destabilize Moldova, underscoring the necessity of continued financial and technical support there. 1215-1230 Ivana Stradner asserts that Putin is dangerously escalating hybrid warfare, using drones to challenge NATO and test Article 5.

The discussion moves to Venezuela, where a large US naval force suggests destabilization efforts against the Maduro regime, rather than merely counter-narcotics. McCausland then discusses Russian drone provocations across Europe, noting the European collective defense meeting in Copenhagen and the significant escalatory potential of providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles. 1245-100 AM Colonel Jeff McCausland analyzes the Gaza deal's sticking points: returning all hostages (due to fragmented control and deceased status) and Hamas surrendering weapons (their final leverage).

Un micrófono abierto dejó oír hace unas semanas al presidente chino, Xi Jinping y al ruso, Vladimir Putin, fantaseando con vivir hasta los 150 años. Pero no son los únicos. Un montón de millonarios, en las redes sociales, y desde Madrid (donde se acaban de celebrar las jornadas Transvision 2025), hasta Silicon Valley, quieren romper con ese decreto universal que dice que la muerte, al final, a todos igual, a los ricos y a los pobres.

När USA lämnar Parisavtalet kliver nu Kina fram och vill ta plats som världens klimathjälte. Men hur långt räcker Kinas nya klimatlöften? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Medan Donald Trump tar beslut om att USA ska lämna det globala klimatavtalet och avfärdar klimatförändringarna som en bluff väljer Kina en helt annan väg. När Xi Jinping talade inför FN:s generalförsamling nu i september presenterade han för första gången konkreta kvantitativa mål för att minska Kinas utsläpp. Kina, världens största utsläppare av växthusgaser, ska nu minska sina utsläpp med 7 till 10 procent fram till 2035 utlovar Xi. Men löftet lämnar flera frågetecken hängande i luften. Samtidigt som Kina är den stora globala leverantören av tex batterier och solceller så fortsätter Kina att bygga nya kolkraftverk. Hör om hur klimatfrågan blir en ny arena för Peking där man kan flytta fram sin position på världsscenen och stärka sin makt.Medverkande: Moa Kärnstrand, Kinakorrespondent.

Xi Jinping has built the most advanced surveillance state in human history. But despite Silicon Valley's help and China's Great Firewall, the CCP still fears one thing.

Í Heimskviðum í dag ætlum við til Asíu og fræðast bæði um fótbolta og hálfleiðara. Líklega eru margir að heyra um hálfleiðara í fyrsta sinn en þeir eru nauðsynlegir í öllum helsta tæknibúnaði samtímans. Stærsti hluti þeirra er framleiddur í Taívan. Hvernig tókst Taívan að verða svona framarlega í framleiðslu á þessari tækninauðsyn? Og hvað þýðir þetta fyrir öryggi landsins? Eru meiri líkur á innrás vegna þessarar dýrmætu tæknikunnáttu? Eða virkar hún sem skjöldur? Svo fjöllum við um fótboltadrauma kínverskra stjórnvalda. Þrátt fyrir að hinn annálaði fótboltaáhugamaður og forseti landsins, Xi Jinping, hafi sett ævintýralegar fjárhæðir í að byggja fótboltaskóla, fótboltavelli, að þjálfa upp stjórstjörnur heima við og flytja þær inn sömuleiðis til að spila í ört stækkandi efstu deild kínverska boltans, þá er Kína hvergi nærri háleitum markmiðum sínum. Sem eru að komast á HM karla í fótbolta, halda mótið og vinna það – allt fyrir árið 2050. Eða það eru yfirlýstu markmiðin. Vafalaust vakir sömuleiðis fyrir forsetanum að gera Kína meira gildandi í allri pólitíkinni í kringum fótboltann. Eins og Sádar og Katarar hafa gert með glimrandi árangri. En hvers vegna er þessi fjölmenna þjóð ekki betri í einni vinsælu íþrótt heims.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Bangladeshi President Mohammed Shahabuddin have exchanged congratulatory messages on the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The Chinese communist regime has “created a market in the organs of their political enemies,” says Matthew Robertson, a researcher who has been investigating China's organ transplant system for more than a decade.Fluent in Mandarin, Robertson is a China studies research fellow at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation and co-author of a number of research papers on China's organ transplant system including, “Execution by organ procurement: Breaching the dead donor rule in China.”After conducting a forensic review of thousands of Chinese research papers, they found 71 cases where violations of the dead donor rule were essentially written into the paper itself.In a moment that stunned the world, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recently caught on a hot mic with their translators talking about increasing longevity through repeated organ transplants.What is the true extent of China's forced organ harvesting industry? How are physicians in China complicit? It's been known for many years that practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual practice have been a prime target—but are they the only ones?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.Editor's Note: Matthew Robertson previously worked as a journalist for The Epoch Times.

In this compelling episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso interview Shannon Brandao – attorney, Mandarin speaker, and founder of the China Boss Substack – to explore China's expanding influence even as America appears to turn inward. Broadcasting from Europe, Brandao delivers her unique insights on Chinese Communist Party strategy, economic challenges, and geopolitical ambitions.Brandao emphasizes that perception easily becomes reality, in that when America appears to withdraw, China seizes opportunities to expand influence through economic leverage and promises of stability. This directly impacts Indo-Pacific supply chains controlling critical minerals, batteries, and essential products that Americans depend on daily.Rejecting claims that China seeks only regional stability, Brandao explains that the Chinese Communist Party operates from a paranoia that requires control to ensure regime survival. Under Xi Jinping, ruling "red aristocrats" fear vulnerability to external powers, and even successful Chinese entrepreneurs like Jack Ma, leading to enterprise nationalization and tight party control over innovation.While China faces economic headwinds, including debt, demographic challenges, and declining GDP, Xi Jinping has successfully modernized the military. Still, China's unreliable economic statistics mask systemic problems, with Communist Party interference undermining potential innovation, even despite a tremendous national talent base.China exercises strength in strategic sectors—solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, shipbuilding, and artificial intelligence—through massive subsidies, but this creates a chronic overcapacity problem. Local government subsidies benefit politically connected firms like Huawei, creating quasi-monopolies across industries: steel, aluminum, cement, telecom gear, plastics, fertilizers, construction equipment, etc. Endemic corruption further dilutes programs, with billions disappearing from AI innovation funds.Companies attempting to leave China face complex challenges. When signaling departure, employees report to Party and government officials, triggering shakedowns through exit bans and extortionate demands. Recent surveys show companies staying but withholding investment and hedging elsewhere. For firms that do leave, repatriating profits and protecting intellectual property depends entirely on relationships with local government officials.Asked for what advice she would give to President Trump before meeting Xi Jinping at the upcoming APEC Summit, Brandao warns that Xi will use flattery while masking the geopolitical reality, and that failing to press American interests in the Indo-Pacific creates vacuums China eagerly fills.

When Xi Jinping took over the Chinese Communist Party in 2012, he began a new chapter in China's history—one that would come to be defined above all by his grip on power. Xi overhauled not only the CCP but also China's economy, military, and role in the world. Yet no matter how secure his power may be—and no matter his recent hot-mic musings about living to 150—what comes after Xi, and how it comes, is an increasingly central question in Chinese politics. As the political scientists Tyler Jost and Daniel Mattingly wrote recently in Foreign Affairs, “For any authoritarian regime, political succession is a moment of peril . . . and for all its strengths, the CCP is no exception.” And that's not just a risk for the future. The uncertainty and the jockeying that the succession question spurs is already starting to shape China's present. To Jost and Mattingly, there's more at stake than just the matter of who will follow Xi. They note: “The drama created by a struggle over the succession . . . is unlikely to stay inside China's borders.” They joined Deputy Editor Chloe Fox to discuss the nature of Xi's rule, his attempt to define his legacy, and what that will mean for China in the coming months, years, and decades.

Trump's foreign policy means the United States is leaving a vacuum in world affairs – and China looks increasingly willing to fill it.   Following the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin last month, what is the real nature of Xi Jinping and China's expanding but complex international relationships, including those with Narendra Modi in India and Vladimir Putin in Russia?

Chinese President Xi Jinping has extended his congratulations to Tianjin University's faculty, students and alumni on its 130th anniversary. The president encouraged the university to focus on China's major strategic needs, deepen reforms in teaching and scientific research and strengthen technological breakthroughs.

Gregory Copley reports that Chinese leader Xi Jinping's power has diminished, noting he is expected to step down as General Secretary at the upcoming fourth plenum, retaining only the powerless PRC presidency. Copley suggests the new leadership may reduce global aggression because the country lacks money, resources, and solidarity for a global campaign, and faces massive domestic food and water crises. He also addresses Tony Blair's "surreal politic" role in the Gaza plan and the fragility of the clerical leadership in Iran. 1944 GOLD BEACH, NORMANDY

President Donald Trump was only supposed to address the United Nations for 15 minutes, but he extended that to 55 minutes after it appeared U.N. employees tried sabotaging him four times.  Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the U.N.'s response to Trump's speech and also calls out the hypocrisy as many U.N. members walked out on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech but stayed for China's Xi Jinping's speech—a leader who has “over a million people in a Uyghur labor camp.” “All four of those circumstances were almost impossible to occur in one session ... This is very serious. It means that the United Nations has employees, or perhaps administrators, who deliberately tried to sabotage an American president while on American soil.” 

Jamie Kennedy's return to Undressed is like a double shot of espresso—smooth, bold, and a little wild. In this second part of our 100th episode, Jamie opens up about love, money, and the kind of bag that can make a grown man tear up. He paints a cinematic picture of gifting his “Audrey Hepburn” of a girlfriend a $4,000 Louis Vuitton from the Beverly Center—the shriek, the joy, the protective hook for the bag in her car—and then confesses he's eyeing a Birkin next (“thirty grand, chumps!”). It's the kind of moment that makes you laugh while tugging at your heart, especially as he reveals she didn't grow up with nice things and now cherishes every detail. From there, the convo swings from the surreal (Jamie's jaw dropping at a military parade featuring Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, and Putin) to the hilarious (banter about whether “the gays” would make jail “pretty” and Martha Stewart's jail doilies) to pure Hollywood gossip—like the shocker that Sabrina Carpenter's aunt is actually Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright!) and the low-key fortune Jennifer Tilly made off The Simpsons. But the real pulse of this episode beats in Jamie's vulnerability. He opens up about losing both parents, downsizing his life pre-COVID, Alyssa moving in, their pandemic ping-pong and naked sunbathing, and his current crossroads: rebuying his old Los Feliz home or starting fresh in Beverly Hills, Vegas, or even New Orleans. It's a midlife-meets-career confession that feels both raw and refreshingly unfiltered. Then comes the mystical twist. During his live coffee reading, a heart literally forms at the bottom of his cup—Pol' and Patrik see it too—and the energy in the studio shifts. The reading nudges Jamie toward love, partnership, and maybe even fatherhood (“Alyssa would be such a good mom”), as he wrestles with whether to finally “put a ring on it.” It's intimate, disarming, and strangely prophetic. Of course, the episode isn't all tears. Jamie dives headfirst into Runway Rundown, roasting and raving over Sophie Turner's sultry “I'm single” lace look, Chloe Sevigny's “Halloween Horror Nights” couture disaster, Austin Butler's 1975 porn-leather misstep, and even his own past fashion crimes (a black mesh headbanded ensemble he swears was for Kicking It Old School, but the hosts say screams “Motherlode at 3 a.m.”). The mix of self-deprecation and bold honesty is pure Jamie. By the end, you've laughed at Missy Elliott booting him out of a Phantom, gasped at the Seminole Hard Rock “death suite” he unknowingly slept in, and leaned forward as he weighs buying Raven-Symoné's Porsche. It's the ultimate Jamie Kennedy blend—Hollywood chaos, heartfelt confessions, and a coffee reading that feels like a cosmic mic drop. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

In the weeks since Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the new Global Governance Initiative (GGI) during a speech at the SCO summit in Tianjin, Beijing's propaganda apparatus has been working overtime to build support for the new plan, particularly in Africa, Latin America, and other developing regions. The GGI is the latest in a series of Chinese global initiatives that also focus on development, human rights, and security, which it's using to stake a larger claim for international leadership at a time when the U.S.-led system is collapsing. Brian Wong, an assistant professor at Hong Kong University and a leading scholar on Chinese global governance, joins Eric to discuss what Beijing is hoping to accomplish with the GGI and its other governance initiatives.

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu provides a summary of Xi Jinping's recent trip to Xinjiang to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the region's founding, and the significance of this visit in contrast to Beijing's ongoing persecution of the Uyghur people. Next, Miles unpacks the latest developments within the CCP's influence operations and misinformation campaigns against Taiwan that aim to provoke instability and conflict between the DPP led executive and KMT controlled Legislative Yuan. Finally, Miles reviews President Trump's recent statements at the UN General Assembly regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and what this could mean for China and their perceived role in the conflict.     China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future.

Former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews made headlines when he was snapped in a picture with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, amongst others, at China's recent military parade. While Andrews' activities were puzzling, they also raise bigger questions around both the opportunities and the limits of Australia's bilateral relationship with China. Will Glasgow, The Australian newspaper's North Asia Correspondent, based in Beijing, joins Darren for this episode. Will is winner of the Keith McDonald Award for Business Journalist of the Year and previously worked at The Australian Financial Review. The conversation begins with Will's own story in his current role, beginning in Beijing in early 2020, then leaving China and reporting from Taipei, before returning to Beijing in 2024. The main focus however is the bilateral relationship, both from the perspective of Canberra and Beijing, but also from Australian states, especially Victoria, where Dan Andrews was Premier, and Western Australia. Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

In mid-September, while many China watchers were focused on the Xiangshan Forum, the Chinese military's annual high-level security and defense convening in Beijing, another major annual meeting was being held by the Ministry of Public Security in the Chinese city of Lianyungang (2-2-3). The Lianyungang Forum dates to 2015 but was upgraded and renamed the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum in 2022 following Xi Jinping's launch of the Global Security Initiative. This year it was attended by 2,000 participants from 120 countries, regions and international organizations. The theme was “Shaping Global Public Security Together: United Action to Tackle Diverse Threats.”  As Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong made clear in his opening speech, China is advancing an alternative to the western-led security order. Dr. Sheena Chestnut Greitens is a leading expert on Beijing's push to reshape the global security order and promote China as a model and global security provider to developing countries. Sheena is an associate professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin where she directs UT's Asia Policy Program and serves as editor-in-chief of the Texas National Security Review. She is also a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace, and a visiting associate professor of research in Indo-Pacific security at the China Landpower Studies Center of the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute. Relevant to this episode's discussion, Sheena recently published a co-authored report for the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace Carnegie titled “A New World Cop.” Timestamps:  [00:00] Start [02:30] The Global Security Initiative and Xi Jinping's Grand Strategy [05:22] Outcomes of the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum  [08:50] What Do Participant Countries Gain?  [12:23] How Do Recipient Countries Use Chinese Technologies?  [16:12] Countries Rejecting China's Surveillance Technologies  [21:49] China's Rewriting of Global Norms [28:18] Potential Policy Responses to the GSI

In this episode of The China Desk Podcast, host Steve Yates sits down with veteran intelligence officer and author Nick Eftimiades to explore the tactics behind Chinese espionage. Drawing on decades of experience at the CIA, DIA, and State Department, Eftimiades explains how Beijing uses a “whole-of-society” approach—spanning the Ministry of State Security, PLA, United Front, state-owned enterprises, and academia—to gather intelligence and influence U.S. policy. He discusses the evolution of Chinese spy craft from the Cold War to Xi Jinping's era, the Thousand Talents Program, elite capture, and the massive transfer of American intellectual property. The conversation closes with urgent steps the U.S. must take to counter China's operations at the federal, state, and local levels. Watch Full-Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@ChinaDeskFNW  

At a reception celebrating the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, President Xi Jinping calls on the nation to keep on working hard and forge ahead with determination in advancing Chinese modernization.

The US equity market defied expectations of September seasonal weakness, with the S&P 500 index gaining 4% this month. With the exception of India, many global markets have also seen gains, with US, Hong Kong and Japan up 30% in USD terms since April , Europe up 20%, Korea and Taiwan up 50%. In this episode of The Week in Markets, Richard Tang, Head of Research Hong Kong at Julius Baer, considers if we should ride this momentum in the Chinese equity markets. He examines investor flows and positioning, asset re-allocation trends from domestic retail investors, and recent market pullbacks in the tech and pharmaceutical sectors. He also looks ahead at key fourth quarter events and catalysts to watch – such as the meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping at the APEC summit, and the Fourth Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party. Richard also highlights Julius Baer's latest views on Singapore equities, which we have recently upgraded to Overweight.

El pasado jueves Donald Trump firmó una orden ejecutiva que permite a TikTok seguir operando en EEUU tras un acuerdo con un grupo inversor capitaneado por Oracle, que controlará el 80 % de las operaciones de la aplicación en el país. Este acuerdo pone fin a una larga batalla iniciada en 2020, cuando Trump, en su primer mandato, señaló a TikTok como una amenaza por supuestamente recopilar datos de usuarios y entregarlos al Partido Comunista Chino. En aquel momento trató de forzar la venta de TikTok a empresas como Microsoft, Oracle y Walmart, pero fue bloqueada por un tribunal federal por violar la Primera Enmienda. Durante el gobierno de Biden las restricciones continuaron. En abril de 2024, el Congreso aprobó una ley que exigía la venta de TikTok o su prohibición total por riesgos de espionaje chino, medida ratificada luego por el Tribunal Supremo. TikTok suspendió voluntariamente sus servicios en EEUU el 18 de enero de este año, una decisión que afectó a 170 millones de usuarios. Pero Trump, seguramente influido por su popularidad en la plataforma (15 millones de seguidores) y su utilidad para captar el voto joven en 2024, extendió los plazos para negociar una venta que ha culminado en este acuerdo. Pero, a pesar de todo, las preocupaciones sobre la seguridad nacional persisten. El algoritmo de TikTok, clave para influir en los usuarios, seguirá en manos de ByteDance, la empresa matriz china. Aunque una copia será licenciada al grupo inversor estadounidense para reentrenarla con datos locales, no está claro cómo se gestionarán las actualizaciones del algoritmo, lo que podría permitir a China mantener la última palabra sobre la aplicación. El acuerdo también crea dudas sobre su transparencia. Trump seleccionó personalmente a los inversores lo que supone un caso claro de “capitalismo de amigotes”. Además, la junta directiva, designada por Trump, podría moderar contenido de manera partidista favoreciendo opiniones alineadas con el presidente. El gobierno espera recaudar miles de millones en comisiones por la transacción, lo que Trump ha destacado como un logro económico. Este movimiento plantea preguntas sobre la postura de Trump en la guerra tecnológica contra China, que él mismo inició en 2018. Durante los años de Biden, se endurecieron los controles de exportación para limitar el acceso chino a tecnologías avanzada, como semiconductores y modelos de inteligencia artificial. Pero Trump parece priorizar los beneficios económicos sobre la seguridad nacional. Hace dos meses derogó una ley de difusión de IA de Biden y permitió la venta de chips H20 de Nvidia a China a cambio de un porcentaje de los ingresos. En la gira por Oriente Medio en mayo de este año para negociar acuerdos de IA con países como Arabia Saudí y Emiratos Árabes Unidos Trump regresó a Washington con unos cuantos acuerdos bajo el brazo que, aunque lucrativos, especialmente para la familia Trump, podrían comprometer la seguridad nacional. En esto la política de Trump parece guiada por el personalismo y el beneficio a corto plazo, lo que provoca incertidumbre sobre el futuro de la guerra tecnológica con China. Su interés en reunirse con Xi Jinping en 2026 podría llevar a nuevas concesiones que, eso sí, dependerán de las transacciones que consiga negociar.
