Commentary Economic indicators in the United States and communist China reflect that, despite denials by leaders in both countries, the two biggest economies in the world have been contracting since 2021. And recession poses real problems for Chinese leader Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP): problems that are strikingly similar to those faced…
How Patriots Should Respond If Trump Is Indicted
Commentary It’s been a tumultuous time for the 45th president of the United States. With the FBI raid of his home in Florida and the deposition by New York Attorney General Letitia James for a civil investigation pertaining to financial statements, “tumultuous” is actually an understatement—”hellish” sounds more appropriate. Political opponents and ideological enemies are…
Efforts to Repeal American Shipping Laws Only Aid China
Commentary America’s shipping industry isn’t a whipping boy—it’s one of our strengths. Sadly, the Jones Act, which promotes U.S. shippers, is treated like it is. Irrational political voices have argued that repealing the law would do many things, but policymakers should be cautious about taking such a drastic step. Some have asserted, for example, that repealing…
Why Does the Taiwanese Government Act Like It Is Safe?
Commentary The tragically, almost comically, outdated bureaucracy, its minuscule conscription training, and cutbacks to its military make it appear like the Taiwanese government knows something the rest of us don’t.

China and Taiwan: The Chinese Python
Commentary A U.S. government friend involved in Indo-Pacific defense matters asked me the question a lot of people are wondering about.

So he asked: “Running up to the 20th…
Taiwan Invasion: An Economic Disaster for China
Commentary Mystery surrounds why Nancy Pelosi went to Taiwan, but there is no mystery about the trouble that visit caused. Sino-U.S. relations have become exponentially more tense than they already were. Beijing has used impressive military exercises to make an even more impressive demonstration and even hinted at invasion. It remains an open question where…
Obama’s National Security Force Becomes a Reality
Commentary Along strict party lines, with Kamala Harris casting the deciding vote, the U.S. Senate passed the Democrats’ misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act” on Aug. 7, which they claim is “a landmark climate, health care and tax bill,” and which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) calls “life-changing legislation.” The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill…

Why Are China, India, and the US so Interested in Nepal?
Commentary I currently reside in Nepal, a small, landlocked country. The home of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain peak, Nepal is known for exporting very little and importing quite a lot, with the people of Nepal relying heavily on tourism as a source of income.
