China's 'secret weapon' against Western misconceptions Direct visits are China's most powerful tool to counter European misconceptions, according to Carsten Boyer Thogersen, former consul general of Denmark in China's Shanghai and Guangzhou. He traces current misunderstandings to 2018 when China-U.S. relations deteriorated and European visits to China declined, creating...

Why the West overlooks China's cooperation blueprint The West is making a critical mistake by overlooking China's global initiatives that offer solutions for international cooperation, says Carsten Boyer Thogersen, former consul general of Denmark in China's Shanghai and Guangzhou. He warns that today's confrontational atmosphere has corrupted logical discourse, leading to widespread misinformation in discussions about China. Thogersen points to the Belt and Road Initiative's 12-year track record of concrete partnerships as proof that China's peace-focused visions deliver real results when given attention.

Europe's future depends on partnering with Africa Africa could soon dwarf Europe in global influence, making deeper cooperation essential for Europe's future, according to Carsten Boyer Thogersen, former consul general of Denmark in China's Shanghai and Guangzhou. He describes that while Europe has shrunk from 25% to just 8% of the world's population, Africa has surged to over one-sixth, creating a demographic powerhouse on Europe's doorstep. Yet European leaders haven't even begun serious discussions about building partnerships with this increasingly vital neighbor.

China's governance model resonates with Pacific leaders "The answers to the development challenges faced by Vanuatu can all be found in China," said Charlot Salwai, former prime minister of Vanuatu. And he's not the only one who thinks so. In this video, Li Minggang, China's ambassador to Vanuatu, explains why Pacific leaders are looking to China's governance model. What is most appealing to China’s friends is "the two remarkable feats": growing the economy fast for over four decades and keeping society stable. It's a model, Li says, that more and more countries want to learn from.

2018 - 2020 CIA PRC Report shows that the CCP wanted President Trump to lose the next election and leveraged all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. President in an effort to reduce the President's votes and make him resign or prevent re-election. China was also working to influence the results of the mid-terms and the 2020 Election. China was analyzing 2016 election data and states that voted for Trump and was attempting to induce negative financial consequences for these states by levying tariffs on exports to China from those sectors. As of mid-2018, China's ultimate goal was for President Trump NOT to get re-elected. China also used a number of means to influence U.S. officials. China extended invitations to influential U.S. individuals to travel to China for speaking engagements, which they were paid, along with first-class travel and accommodation. This was effective particularly with think tank officials, academics, and former U.S. government employees. The goal was to get these individuals "hooked on China." By doing so, China relied on hitting these entities in the wallet to force them to talk with the U.S. President about tariffs. China's 2019 goal was to gain advantage over U.S. policy and to direct additional, unspecified resources toward political swing states, as China assessed these states would play a crucial role for the 2020 U.S. presidential election. China's 2019 strategy against the U.S. was to undermine domestic confidence in President Trump. The strategy included efforts to use Chinese contracts with big U.S. companies to influence U.S. business leaders to turn them against President Trump. China sought to identify U.S. journalists who had reported negatively on Trump and pay them to write negative articles about him. The Chinese government wanted President Trump to lose the next election.

Watch our new episode, “China still needs the West. Xi puts his hopes on the business community.”, here (premiere @ 7:30 PM EST) 👉 “Xi Jinping recently met again with a group of American business and academic leaders. Over the past year, such meetings have become a hallmark of Xi's leadership. Figures from Silicon Valley to Wall Street have been spun like a carousel by his presence. Xi Jinping has personally shown them China's promising economic prospects while loudly reassuring them of China's unwavering commitment to reform and opening-up, creating favorable conditions to attract foreign investment. From Bill Gates to Elon Musk to Stephen A. Schwarzman, Xi Jinping has consistently emphasized one concept: the hope for Sino-US relations lies in the people. What he really meant was that the hope for China-US relations lies in the business community. Given China's irreversible population decline and the uncertain future of the global electric vehicle market, on which China relies heavily to offset the real estate slump, China is trying to court the next wave of Western companies that can provide money and technology to help China's industrial upgrading. China needs the Western market, too. But will Xi succeed?”

We've just arrived in Yabuli, a famous ski resort in China's Heilongjiang province, where we'll be staying for the next 4 days. We're staying in Club Med. This Club Med was the first one to open in China, in 2010. Since then, they've opened an additional 9 and of course the company itself was bought by China's Fosun group. Winter sports are becoming more and more popular in China, with most ski stations being located either in China's Northeast (where we are) or in Xinjiang. Even today, a Friday mid-afternoon that's not on a school or bank holiday, we can see a lot of people on the slopes.

Chinese Hamza in on duty Tell me the last time this clown prince visited Nicobar island before this? So what changed suddenly that Rahul Gandhi even left the Bengal elections midway to suddenly 'save forests' in Nicobar or save China from Great Nicobar Project? This sudden sympathy for tribals is not organic. It is a direct reaction to protect China's interests. The Great Nicobar Project is India's ultimate weapon to control the Strait of Malacca, China's biggest transit route Look at the ecosystem's lies: FACT 1: The local tribals have officially given their NOC. FACT 2: The Strait of Malacca handles 29% of Global oil flow. Great Nicobar sits right at its edge. If India chokes this point, China's economy collapses. The Great Nicobar Project essentially puts China's neck in India's hands. FACT 3: The new infrastructure is explicitly designed to deploy Indian submarines and Rafale jets When the tribal and tortoise narratives started failing, they resorted to a fake heatwave panic. Modern warfare is about choking the enemy's economy, and India just turned the table with China’s neck in our hand

This is perhaps the most important and powerful case against AUKUS that I've heard, especially because it comes from one of Australia's preeminent strategic thinkers: Hugh White, inaugural Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) and former Deputy Secretary for Strategy and Intelligence in the Australian Department of Defence. Here's what he says: - White argues that the era of Anglo-Saxon (British and American) dominance in the Western Pacific is ending. He states: "We are facing one of the, perhaps the biggest transformation in our shared international setting since European settlement." This transformation is driven by China's rise as an economic and military power comparable to the United States. - As a result he argues that there's no alternative to treating China as an equal partner: "Nobody really knows what America's aim in Asia is. But one thing's for sure, nobody in Washington thinks they should treat China as an equal partner. And my basic argument to my many friends in Washington is that if they don't treat China as an equal partner, then they're going to be taking on a rivalry with China that I don't think they can win." - He emphasizes this point repeatedly, arguing that given China's economic and military power, especially in the Western Pacific, the U.S. cannot maintain its previous position of uncontested primacy: "I don't see how, in an era where China's economy is as big as America's, in an era where its military power in the West Pacific is really quite comparable to America's, in an era where China is increasingly potent as a nuclear armed power, the US and China can find a way to get on in which the United States doesn't, at the very least, treat China as an equal partner." - White sees AUKUS as problematic because it aligns Australia (and potentially New Zealand) with a U.S. strategy that refuses to acknowledge this new reality. He argues that by supporting AUKUS, these countries are effectively endorsing a primacy approach that is "not a smart way to go" and risks destroying both their prosperity and their security, because they'll "only be prosperous and secure if the United States and China can find a way to get on." - On the economic benefits arguably brought by AUKUS: "The idea that you buy those economic benefits at the price of committing yourself to support an approach to this really fundamental question about the shape of our future order in Asia, which I don't think is going to work, that would be a very high price to pay for a very doubtful benefit."

After Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi claimed that a Taiwan "emergency" could constitute a "survival-threatening situation", some Western commentators labeled China's full-spectrum diplomatic response an "overreaction". But before talking about China's reaction, we must be honest about what Japan escalated first. "Survival crisis" is a legal war trigger under Japan's 2015 security legislation, allowing the use of force even when Japan isn't attacked. This is the first time a Japanese prime minister has implied Japan could enter a war with China over Taiwan — a matter that is purely China's internal affair. Meanwhile, Japan is re-militarizing, mirroring the 1930s, when Japan used the logic of "existential fear" to justify its invasions. With unresolved wartime history, this is an alarm bell China cannot ignore. And claims that China is "ungrateful" for Japan's ODA are pure gaslighting. In fact, Japan's ODA to China was not charity. Over 80% was loans, not free money. And China had to spend the money on Japanese companies, equipment and contractors. In the end, Japan earned far more from China than it ever "gave". So, China's response is not an overreaction; it is a responsible government acting responsibly. #MediaUnlocked

Economist Hussein Askary says the latest U.S strikes didn't just hit an Iranian railway, they struck China's New Silk Road. He said that specific railway is one of the key arteries linking China to Central Asia, Iran, and, ultimately, the wider Middle East. A modern version of the ancient Silk Road, the physical backbone of China's vision for the region. Hussein believes the strike was symbolic: a warning that countries betting their future on China's Belt and Road Initiative should understand there may be a price for doing so. And what he thinks comes after it is even more concerning. Trump promised to end America's endless wars, but Washington still has no vision for what peace actually looks like, whereas China does. Railways, ports, industrial zones, manufacturing, energy projects, technology transfers, and long-term investment. While the U.S is trying to shape the region through military power, China understands economic integration is a much stronger force. Hussein pointed to China's role in helping bring Saudi and Iran back to the negotiating table, the rapid expansion of industrial cooperation across the Gulf, and the growing network of transport corridors connecting the region to Asia. In his view, those projects are changing the Middle East far more profoundly than most headlines suggest. That's also why he thinks this war is about far more than Iran; it's about who gets to shape the next economic map of Eurasia. His argument is that the old model, export oil, import everything else, and depend on American military protection, is steadily giving way to something different. Countries across the region are trying to build industries instead of simply exporting raw materials. And they're increasingly looking to the east as well as the west.
