Thinking About China

Takaichi understands that Japan’s strategic interests depend on a close relationship with America.

Beijing got some good economic news for a change, but neither piece of information suggests a fundamental improvement in China’s economic situation.

NCCs must not become legal bludgeons against workers that insulate corporations from healthy competition or retain workers through coercion.

For everyone watching China’s rise at sea, the Yellow Sea dispute is a preview, not a sideshow.

From Galápagos to Ghana to the West Philippine Sea, it is clear that China’s fishing fleet is being used as an instrument of power.

The minerals aren’t rare. China’s marginal advantage is a willingness to accept human and environmental costs other nations eschewed.

For the CCP, the internet is the battlefield, information is a weapon, and continued political power is their plunder.

Are the Chinese people going on a baby strike?

It appears on the surface that the Chinese military could be pulling ahead in its development of AI drone armies.

The defining feature of today’s threat environment is not conventional war.

The decline in birth rates can be viewed as a silent protest by the people against the Chinese Communist Party.

It will be a long road for the yuan, and it may never get to Beijing’s desired destination.

Whoever controls the military holds real power.

Enforcement actions alone—raids on stores or seizures at ports—cannot resolve a crisis that the FDA’s own policies have created.

In the CCP’s brutal conflicts, those who lose not only suffer the loss of careers and influence but also risk their lives and the safety of their families.

The transformation of Hong Kong’s legal system into what many now describe as a kangaroo court—especially in national security trials—did not occur silently.

A threat to the U.S. world order and an opportunity for $50,000 per U.S. citizen.
