The U.S. Navy, in anticipation of a war in East Asia, would use the canal to move ships and submarines from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

China today is 4 times more populous than the United States. At the turn of the century, it could conceivably have roughly the same number of people as America.

China uses ports to tie regions to itself, and now America can do the same thing in Dakhla.

America, in what Americans sometimes call their "backyard," is being disrespected. China, on the other hand, looks ascendant.

In recent days, China has been forcing down the value of the renminbi, partly in anticipation of Trump imposing new tariffs.

China and North Korea are now both present on the battlefield in Ukraine. As they align and close ranks with Russia, they are taking on the rest of the world.

With its large stores of plutonium and uranium and its technical know-how, Japan could build a bomb in a matter of months, perhaps less than a year.

At a minimum, the U.S. should not effectively finance genocide by supporting a business such as Gotion.

At a time when the world is looking to the U.S. for leadership on China, Washington should not give any indication that the U.S. supports the CCP.

Xi Jinping, I suspect, is not particularly upset that people think he is upset with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.

Beijing, by backing Iran's attack on Israel last October, thought it would benefit from waging a "low-cost" proxy war against the United States.

As NATO members gathered this week in Washington, troops from two of Russia's closest partners, China and Belarus, began a joint exercise.

The purge of the defense ministers is almost certainly a sign that Xi is increasing his control over the officer corps. It's not hard to figure out what comes next.

Is Xi Jinping with his words merely acting? Or is he about to act? We now have to assume the worst.

A war, Xi might reason, would likely prevent his political enemies from removing him from power.

China's regime has made it clear it will not stop its genocidal programs, but we can stop paying for its growing list of crimes against humanity.

The World Health Organization wants the power to run the world. In three weeks, it will make its bid for global control.

It looks like China's leader is reacting primarily—maybe even solely—to domestic pressures.

Xi Jinping has made it clear that he does not intend to change course on exports. Janet Yellen's pleading with his subordinates will not work.

To protect America, the Biden administration will have to, among other things, seize control of the TikTok algorithm that curates content.

Since the official GDP announcement in January, there has been growing skepticism of Beijing's reports of a robust expansion.

The Ukraine war killed globalization which had already been weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had lessened connectivity among nations.

At the moment, U.S. companies have, with $3 billion, powered China's advances in both semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

Chinese theft is a national emergency requiring immediate and extraordinary measures.

The danger now is that an emboldened Iran takes Washington's restraint in the Red Sea as a sign that it is free to shut down shipping at the western end of the Mediterranean as well.

China, with increased purchases of sanctioned Iranian oil, is making it possible for Tehran to financially support the Houthis and its other terrorist proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.

A success in the ongoing war will certainly encourage Putin to go after NATO members that he now thinks should be part of Russia.

China has made it clear it supports the barbarism of Hamas. Washington policy, therefore, should undermine the malign Chinese influence in the region.

After decades of Beijing refusing to talk about arms control, U.S. and Chinese officials held discussions on the topic in Washington, D.C. Here's what it means.

It's apparent that Xi Jinping thinks that he can get away with provoking an incident at Second Thomas Shoal.
