In-depth conservative coverage of China’s global expansion — military, economic, and ideological — its foreign policy ambitions, and the strategic threat it poses to the United States and its allies.
On October 21, Sanae Takaichi completes her first year as Japan's prime minister. Takaichi's first year reached 2 percent of GDP on defense two years early, ended the ban on lethal arms exports and said out loud that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could pull Japan into war. China answered with sanctions. Washington got the ally it wanted.
Peruvian senator Mirtha Vásquez will fly to China on the Chinese Embassy's dime, right when senators should be meeting their voters. Beijing courts Peru with free trips, a megaport and more than 30,000 million dollars in investment, while a 2023 paid junket went unpunished and a president lost his office over a dinner with a Chinese businessman. Nobody flies you to Beijing for nothing.
The Trump-Xi summit in Washington ended with a two-month extension of the trade truce and nothing else: no deal on Iran, Taiwan, chips or rare earths. Xi wanted an end to arms sales to Taiwan; Trump wanted leverage on Tehran and delivery on old promises. Stability beat escalation, but broken promises earn only a shorter leash.
The BRICS summit in New Delhi ended with a 45-page declaration that never names the United States. Modi rebuked China over critical minerals, Russia won silence about Ukraine, Iran left with its existing payment channels endorsed, not defended, and no common currency appeared. Eleven countries, eleven agendas, one photograph.
In one month, non-aligned Indonesia trained with the US military and the Chinese navy. One suitor can protect her; the other claims her waters but pays the bills. Nickel, sea lanes, the Uyghur silence, and two revealing surveys explain the double romance of the flirting Garuda, and why Taiwan is the clock ticking on her choice.
China Naval Expansion is reshaping the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. China is rapidly expanding its navy and shipbuilding capacity while the United States retains key advantages in nuclear-powered carriers and global experience. The challenge is whether America can sustain its long-term maritime edge.
China quietly cut oil imports by five million barrels a day after the Strait of Hormuz closed. The move absorbed most of Asia’s shortfall and kept prices from reaching $200. China oil reserves, estimated at 1,300 to 1,400 million barrels, proved far larger and more flexible than Western stockpiles. The United States released over 100 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve while Beijing conserved its buffer.
Christian persecution 2026 is exploding on every continent. Pakistan's top court freed every killer of a couple burned alive, China raided house churches after six months of spying, and Nigeria buried thousands of martyrs. Trump and Cruz are fighting back, and Bible prophecy explains why none of this should surprise believers.
A Chinese officer clubbed a Filipino sailor at Second Thomas Shoal just two days before Beijing promised peace at the ASEAN summit in Manila. ASEAN weak diplomacy produces careful documents while China escalates and the whole region quietly arms itself. Here is what happened, who attended, and why deterrence is the only answer.
The China-Palau conflict sounds like an exaggeration until you hear Palau's own president say his nation is already at war with China. Missiles fired with no warning, tourism bans, cyberattacks, and a Chinese mafia boss leasing land next to a US radar. Discover how a tiny island of 18,000 people keeps defying the communist red giant.
Germany accuses Beijing of manipulating the yuan, and the fight exposes a contradiction in China currency goals. Beijing wants the world to trade in yuan and save in yuan at the same time, but a weak currency helps exports while destroying the trust that savings require. China is winning one race and clearly losing the other.
The US missile shortage is real. America fired half its THAAD and Patriot interceptors and 30 percent of its Tomahawks in just weeks of war, but factories only replace 15 Tomahawks and 20 Patriots a month. Congress stalls new funding while China quietly expands its own missile stockpile by 50 percent in just four years.
