China faces mounting risks as U.S. action in Venezuela threatens Beijing’s energy strategy, overseas investments, and long-held claims of sovereign immunity.

As Chinese state media accused America of ‘hegemonic behavior,’ China’s censors quietly allowed emotional and violent rhetoric to surface on its internet.

As news of Maduro’s capture spreads, people say the episode has intensified debate over authoritarian rule and China’s own political future.

The Jan. 3 operation is being interpreted as a signal that Washington may move more aggressively against authoritarian leaders it deems security threats.

The measures suggest that online creators who use generative AI tools to remake film and television material could face administrative penalties.

Tokyo said the exercises escalated tensions in the Taiwan Strait as Beijing’s actions triggered diplomatic and economic fallout.

Chinese state media has adopted a softer tone toward Washington, but experts argue the underlying rivalry between the two powers remains unchanged.

Interviews with service members reveal how economic pressures, broken promises, and political control are straining morale within the Chinese military.

Authorities limit church services, campus activity, and public displays, leaving holiday events largely confined to officially sanctioned venues.
