The U.S. relationship with China under the Biden administration is off to a rocky start if the first high-level meeting between the two nations is any indicator. President Joe Biden, who cast himself as someone who would smooth relationships with foreign adversaries, can’t have been happy to see the American delegation embarrassed by the Chinese during a recent summit in…

It’s a basic concept of national security: Don’t invite a hostile nation to imbed its gifts into the innermost sanctums of your society. That was true long before the Trojans wheeled the Greek’s gift of a horse into the city of Troy some 3,000 years ago, and it is no less true today. Still, like…

Don’t be surprised when China’s leaders talk down to top Biden administration officials, whether at a meeting last month in Alaska or elsewhere, going out of their way to cast the United States as a racist den of inequity. That is, after all, how our elites and educators describe the country to our students constantly….

Last week in Anchorage, Alaska, Chinese diplomats dressed down Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan. Both seem stunned by the broadsides. Not since newly elected President John Kennedy was humiliated at the Vienna summit in June 1961 by USSR strongman Nikita Khrushchev have American diplomats been so roughly manhandled by…

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., says that China will only continue to be a growing threat as President Joe Biden’s administration continues. With regard to what China has “done to this country with the coronavirus, there’s no repercussions under this administration … to hold them accountable,” Norman says. What is the proper framework to combat China?  Norman joins…

The way President Joe Biden handles U.S. relations with China will be closely watched and judged.   In the early going, the president seems to want to stay on a course framed by the recognition that we are once more in an era of great-power competition. For that, the Biden team should be praised. However, it’s what the…

President Joe Biden spoke to a hastily thrown together virtual meeting of the Group of Seven last week.  Given the short duration of Friday’s summit and its lack of any real substance, it seemed to have been organized for the sole purpose of giving the new president a platform from which to proclaim to the…

Americans get to elect their presidents. Not so in China. We may have moved from the 45th commander in chief to the 46th, and the attendant changes already are legion, given the dozens of executive orders issued by President Joe Biden. But our relationship with China, and the man who recently made himself leader for…

Last year, The Heritage Foundation analyzed the risk to American taxpayers from a plan pushed by progressives and the international left to massively increase the quantity of the International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights, or SDRs—a type of international reserve currency. Under the Biden administration, those fears may soon be realized. And which country would…

The People’s Republic of China often pays lip service to reforming its bloated, inefficient state-owned enterprises. Unfortunately, reforms rarely pan out. When China began to emerge from the dark ages of the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s, progress in reforming state-owned enterprises, particularly in the form of consolidating state control of large state-owned enterprises…

Even as chaos and litigation over the presidential election persist, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has not skipped a beat in his effort to counter the Chinese government and its human rights abuses. The Trump administration has taken a multiagency, whole-of-government approach to addressing China’s growing ideological, economic, and military challenges to the free world….

China has a long history of opaqueness when it comes to reporting economic statistics. Although the communist regime claims the economic numbers it reports are factual, a new report by the New York Federal Reserve shows China’s gross domestic product growth volatility is incredibly—and unbelievably—low compared to other countries. The report details how China’s reported…

China’s ambition to become the next great power is no secret. The Chinese Communist Party already built the world’s largest navy, tested more ballistic missiles than the rest of the world combined, continues its hostile takeover of the South China Sea, and is pursuing economic colonialism. But perhaps most alarming to U.S. national security is…

When pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong were reaching their height last year, China’s government demanded that Apple Computer remove from its stores an app that enabled demonstrators to track police checkpoints and protest hot spots. Apple complied, explaining that it had confirmed with the Hong Kong authorities that its app had been used “to target…
