The American media has been liberal for decades, but the utter disregard for the truth that pervades much of the reporting today is something new. With all the alarm over misinformation on the Right, little attention has been paid to the much broader form of misinformation that dominant corporate media perpetrates today. One of the…

As its annual National People’s Congress gets under way this week, China has announced a 7.2% increase in military spending for 2023. That comes amid rising tensions over Taiwan and as part of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s goal of achieving a world-class military that is fully “mechanized & informationized” by 2027. China will be boosting…

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is expected to increase his already unassailable power after his country’s rubber-stamp legislature, the National People’s Congress, convenes Sunday. The gathering represents the most important political event in Beijing since October’s National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, held every five years, which saw Xi consolidate his control over the party…

An energy expert is sounding the alarm over the Chinese Communist Party’s dominance of African minerals. “It’s such an important topic because President [Joe] Biden and the governor of California, Gov. [Gavin] Newsom, have the goal of having all new vehicle sales in the United States battery-powered electric by 2035. So if we’re going to…

While the military is focused on foreign objects flying over American and Canadian territory, a more disturbing threat to our national security is occurring on the ground. Federal, state and local governments are behind in their response to the acquisition of American land by people and companies associated with the Chinese government. The Department of…

More than three decades ago, the U.S. faced the threat of the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Now, the U.S. might be facing a situation with China that could be more dangerous than at any moment in the Cold War, in the wake of the shooting down Feb. 4 of a Chinese spy balloon…

Imagine what Joe Biden or a future president of the United States would do if Chinese dictator Xi Jinping dispatched another spy balloon toward America and declared: “If America destroys our peace-loving balloon, we will have no choice but to suspend immediately, and until further notice, all U.S.-bound exports of Chinese-made antibiotics and antibiotic precursor chemicals. We eagerly await…

U.S. officials revealed a week ago, on Feb. 2, that a Chinese surveillance balloon was flying over the country. Two days later, on Feb. 4, an American fighter jet shot down the spy balloon with a missile. Chris Miller, acting defense secretary under President Donald Trump, weighs in on the Biden administration’s decision to shoot…

As China engages in a rapid nuclear buildup as part of its strategy to achieve global dominance, the Pentagon has announced that the communist nation has surpassed the U.S. in the number of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers it has. The U.S. nuclear force was designed over a decade ago to deter primarily Russia, not both…

Secretary of State Antony Blinken—who was planning to leave last Friday on a trip to the People’s Republic of China—gave an address Jan. 30 at the International Religious Freedom Summit, where he happened to mention that the Chinese leaders he was preparing to visit were at that moment engaging in genocide. “This past November,” said…

It might not have been a Sputnik moment, but Americans were unsettled to wake up to the news that a Chinese surveillance balloon was sailing overhead, violating U.S. airspace. Their concern deepened when they learned this wasn’t the first time. Beijing has used similar aerostats to surveil U.S. military installations in Guam and Hawaii and, possibly, strategic early warning sites in Canada.  More shocking, still, was…

In the wake of China admitting today that a large surveillance balloon flying over the U.S. was its own, critical questions arise. What is China surveilling? How invasive is this? Is this an act of aggression? Should we believe China when it says it was an accident? Everything Beijing does is with intention, and until…
