    Vice President Pence’s Speech Articulates a China Policy Based on Realism
    October 11, 2018 | By Peter Zhang
    Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, reminded us in the sixth century BC, “Let reality be reality.” That seems to be precisely what U.S. Vice President Mike Pence did on Oct. 4, when he delivered a comprehensive policy speech on China at the Hudson Institute. This speech was historic because no top official from previous […]

    Defusing Debt Bombs: Behind the Mixed Reform of China’s State Enterprises
    October 9, 2018 | By He Qinglian
    As of now, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime has introduced three mixed-ownership reforms (mixed reforms) across 50 experimental state-owned enterprises — termed the second round of public-private partnerships. The 19 experimental companies involved in the first two reforms were directly led by the central government, but the third time was different, as it mainly […]

    Dear Vice President Pence, My name is Jennifer Zeng. I am a journalist, a writer, and a Falun Gong practitioner living in Washington.

    The Lingering Ghost of the Cultural Revolution
    October 3, 2018 | By Peter Zhang
    In “1984,” George Orwell cautioned us, “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” Orwell further pointed out: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Perhaps, no entity better practices Orwell’s dictum than the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). […]

    Which Factors Will Decide Victory in the Sino–US Trade War?
    September 22, 2018 | By Cheng Xiaonong
    As the Sino-U.S. trade war escalates, the tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese imports can be seen as a “red light” on Chinese-produced goods, which will divert procurements and supply chains to other locations.

    China Scholars Need to Break Free of Beijing
    September 19, 2018 | By Peter Zhang
    A new report should spark self-examination by China scholars and questioning from others at how individuals who are often protected by tenure are serving Western societies. According to the 35-page report, “The Repressive Experiences among China Scholars: New Evidence from Survey Data,” by Sheena Chestnut Greitens of University of Missouri and Rory Truex of Princeton […]

    How Far Away Is China From a Minsky Moment?
    September 11, 2018 | By He Qinglian
    Lately, the P2P crash has fostered many predictions about China’s impending Minsky moment. The “Minsky moment,” named for American economist Hyman Minsky, refers to the moment at which the value of assets collapses suddenly. In China today, the two main indicators identified by Minsky — increased debt and a rising leverage ratio, have manifested quite […]

    A video showing policemen in Shenzhen walking into a young woman’s apartment last month and taking her away in the middle of the night viral went in China.

    September 4, 2018 | By He Qinglian
    In late August, a Chinese trade delegation, led by China’s Vice Minister of Commerce Wang Shouwen, headed to the United States for a fourth round of negotiations. It was generally expected that there wouldn’t be any meaningful results. The Chinese stance is presented in the article “A Long-Term View of China’s Historical Changes and the […]

    Moral Courage Needed in Reconsidering China Policy
    September 1, 2018 | By Peter Zhang
    Benjamin Franklin once said, “Never ruin an apology with an excuse.” In the wake of the obvious fact that the U.S.-led Western effort to democratize China through so-called constructive diplomatic and commercial engagement has failed over the decades, advocates of this policy may now feel compelled to have something to explain. In “How the West […]

    August 18, 2018 | By Peter Zhang
    Washington is understandably seeking to resort to all available means to level the playing field in the current trade war with Beijing. This war is specifically about the U.S. trade deficit with China, which has reached $152.2 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But it’s really about much more than that. The U.S. Trade […]

    August 6, 2018 | By Heng He
    The Changchun Changsheng Bio-tech scandal, involving over 250,000 faulty doses of the DPT infant vaccine, has further diminished the Chinese people’s trust in the authorities, just days after an expose of a defective rabies vaccine.

    With communism abandoned in Europe and most parts of the world, only a handful of communist regimes are left.

    A Closer Look at the Chinese Regime’s Fascism in Sheep’s Clothing
    July 6, 2018 | By Clive Ansley and Torsten Trey
    China coins its political system “socialism with Chinese characteristics.” Despite preserving the name “Chinese Communist Party,” the current Chinese Party/State is purely fascist by any dictionary definition of fascism. That fact warrants our attention. The fascist intent is clearly backed by the Chinese regime’s Chief Justice Zhou Qiang who explicitly rejected during the 19th Party […]
