Commentary Each year, I have the pleasure of interviewing hundreds of applicants to the programs of an educational institute, of which I am the Academic Dean.

Anything Mao Can Do I Can Do Better: Xi Jinping

Commentary For months, China watchers have been focused like laser beams on the Taiwan Strait, with much speculation on whether and when communist China will attempt a cross-Strait invasion to “absorb” Taiwan by force into the “People’s Republic.” That speculation became a fever pitch due to two events: Nancy Pelosi’s 19-hour visit to Taipei back…

Invading Taiwan: A Goal Xi Jinping Can Never Achieve

Commentary After Xi Jinping secured a third term at the 20th National Congress in October, many people speculated about what he will do next.

Changing China’s COVID Policy Could Unleash Further Protests and Challenges for the CCP

Commentary Much has been made about the recent protests that rocked several major (and some minor) cities across China; protests mainly focused on the Chinese regime’s insistence on sticking to its outdated zero-COVID policy.
