Congress has a decision to make soon that will affect the nation’s ability to deter China and maintain the U.S. role in the Pacific. Without meaningful action to renew U.S. agreements with several Pacific Island nations, China will be positioned to gain greater leverage and influence across what was once an American lake. A year…

Europe is rapidly de-industrializing. German factories are going dark. French and Dutch farmers can’t afford to heat greenhouses. Millions of Brits are facing energy poverty. And Americans are still struggling to put food on the table or pay their energy bills. These disasters largely all stem from Western leaders’ devotion to the cult of climate extremism, and the calamitous decisions to replace fossil fuels…

What kind of threat does China really pose to America? And is America ready to face that threat?  In the areas of agriculture, cybersecurity, and economics, China threatens our nation, Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss., says. China has “infiltrated our universities. They’re buying our farmland. They’re stealing technology,” Kelly says.  But China is not the only concern….

Contrary to Hollywood, Interpol isn’t an international police force. It’s more like a bulletin board on which police forces around the world post their wanted notices. But Interpol does have problems. And China is among the biggest. The next meeting of the Interpol General Assembly, which makes the final decisions for the organization, is set…

While U.S. intelligence toils to identify the exact origins of the SARS-COV2 (COVID-19) virus in China, there are other good reasons to be concerned about Chinese work in biotechnology that could be used against us and our allies in a crisis or conflict. Indeed, the State Department’s recent report to Congress on arms control, nonproliferation,…

China launched missiles over Taiwan and into Japanese waters in a truculent response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Aug. 2 visit to the island nation. That was just the latest sign Beijing is not deterred and might be closer to trying a military takeover of Taiwan than most believe. Given how long it takes to…

The CEO of Chinese tech company Tsinghua Unigroup has become the latest in a number of  Chinese executives under investigation in connection with corruption of the so-called Big Fund. The China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, established in 2014, is used to develop China’s semiconductor industry. Its turmoil points to a critical Chinese weakness. Chinese President Xi…

While many are rightfully concerned about the growing influence of video-based social media platform TikTok and the Chinese government’s ability to harvest incredible amounts of user data from it, China’s largest social media and video game studio, Tencent, has quietly been acquiring a commanding stake in the most popular video game companies around the world,…

This week, the Chinese government announced its fierce opposition to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., visiting Taiwan. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said that China was “fully prepared … If the U.S. is bent on going its own way, China will take firm and strong measures to defend national sovereignty and territorial…

By strangling the Chinese economy and crushing human rights, President Xi Jinping is rapidly turning China into a bad gamble for Western investors and multinational corporations. China’s dictator has run into increasing, if carefully expressed, criticism from top-profile figures within the Chinese Communist Party—including Premier Li Keqiang—over Xi’s ideological struggle to promote state capitalism alongside…

The Biden administration has been wrong to frame U.S.-China competition as a technological competition. This is because, in most areas, there is no technology competition between the two countries. There is only China’s reliance on the U.S.—a far more technologically advanced nation with far more technologically advanced allies and trading partners. And it’s in the…

This year’s Group of Seven Leaders’ Summit in Germany was the most critical since the group’s establishment in 1973 in light of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, an underperforming global economy, and many other interwoven global challenges. Yet the outcome of the summit turned out to be second-rate. The most notable, but expensive and potentially…

When it comes to energy policy, President Joe Biden has become a master of doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons. His policies on solar panel production and imports are prime examples. Everyone agrees that we ought to be good stewards of the planet. That’s why it’s critical that we get energy and environmental policies…

When an organization becomes unpopular, it rebrands, but that doesn’t necessarily mean its mission or product has fundamentally changed. That was the message of a panel of experts at a discussion Tuesday at The Heritage Foundation on the recent widespread closures of so-called Confucius Institutes on American college campuses. (The Daily Signal is the news…

In recent comments on the defense budget, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., rightly declared the standard for determining an appropriate level of defense funding should be the ability to adequately deter China. Unfortunately, too many statesmen have underestimated China’s intentions to supplant the U.S. and current rules-based order, while political leadership has preferred to defer tough…

For a few years now, China has been hampering its own economic engagement with the European Union. Chinese diplomats are often described as “wolf warriors” as they aggressively, sometimes offensively, assert China’s interests in the international arena. As a result, even in the absence of a serious, robust U.S. government approach to trade with Europe…

Catholic Cardinal Joseph Zen appeared before a Hong Kong court Tuesday on charges of “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces.” The charges brought against the cardinal are emblematic of a permanent deterioration in the city-state—one that should prompt the Vatican to reconsider earlier attempts to pursue closer relations with China. While the Hong Kong government…
