China’s Shrinking Economic Base
Commentary China’s latest statistical release seems to have caused quite a stir. Beijing has announced that the nation’s population has declined outright—by some 850,000—since the last census.

Commentary “Whole-process democracy,” a term derived by the Chinese Communist Party to promote its self-acclaimed “well-deserved democracy,” contrasts sharply against reality.

This…
Examining China’s New Confucius Institutes
Commentary Hanban, an organization closely affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), established the Confucius Institute program in 2004.

In his recent media appearance, the new Chinese ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, instructed us that obtaining nuclear powered submarines pursuant to the AUKUS agreement would not be constructive.

Video Games Are Now the Most Potent of Political Weapons
Commentary Ray Bradbury, one of America’s finest writers of the 20th century, once described video games as “a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.” Humans with “real brains,” he asserted, don’t waste their time on such trivial activities.
