Taiwan Prepares For War

The Chinese Communist Party has made it no secret that it considers Taiwan a province of China and has not ruled out using force to take it back if necessary. It’s under this threat of invasion that Taiwan is preparing to war with China.

Vowing to conquer Taiwan, the CCP has stepped up its aggression. In mid-June, China sent a record 28 fighter jets toward Taiwan. And recently, they deployed J-20 stealth fighter jets to their units monitoring the Taiwan Strait. The increasing incursions have put increasing pressure on the Taiwanese military and people. China Uncensored’s Chris Chappell gives us more details.

China Blames U.S. For Crash

An out-of-control Chinese rocket has crashed to Earth and the CCP is blaming the United States. The Long March 5b blasted off on April 29 carrying components of China’s space station, but the Chinese Space Agency lost control of the rocket during re-entry, sending debris crashing into the Indian Ocean.

As the space race heats up, the CCP was quick to blame the United States for hyping fears of uncontrolled re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. No matter how you view the incident, it’s a major embarrassment and setback for China’s space program. Here’s more on the catastrophe with China Uncensored’s Chris Chappell.

China’s Worst Nightmare

The Chinese Communist Party is engaged in territorial disputes with all of its neighbors. The problem is, when the CCP bully pulpit oversteps its bounds, the victims usually team up in an effort to turn the tables.

That might be the scenario in the East China Sea, where Taiwan and Japan seemingly teamed up to track a Chinese warship, though both sides are mum about the details. Chris Chappell looks into the unlikely alliance in this edition of China Uncensored.

Tesla-China Honeymoon Over

Tesla is being targeted by the Chinese Communist Party, potentially ruining Elon Musk’s China ambitions. It all began at last week’s Shanghai Auto Show, a perfect venue for Musk to show off his new Tesla. One problem: the demonstration was met by a lively protest, claiming the U.S. cars were dangerous and defective.

Wait a minute, a protest in Community China? That’s right. The protest hit a nerve in China, sending complaints about the company across the Chinese-controlled internet. And to no one’s surprise, the CCP-controlled media joined the narrative. Remember, things don’t go viral for very long on the tightly scrutinized Chinese internet, unless censors allow it.  Result: Most of the social media comments came to the conclusion that they should buy Chinese cars instead of Tesla. It appears the Tesla-China honeymoon is over.

Join Chris Chappell, as he also reports on the U.S. and China agreement on climate cooperation and Australia abandoning a belt and road deal in the state of Victoria in this edition of China Uncensored.

How China Plunders

The oceans are dying and China’s unrestrained, massive fishing fleets are one of the biggest culprits. China has fishing vessels spread across the world, not just the China Sea, and is truly No. 1 on the index of  illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.

According to the Global Initiative of Transnational Organized Crime, China’s distance-water fishing fleet is easily the largest in the world with an estimated 17,000 vessels and 183 of these are suspected in unregulated improprieties, and those are just the ones we know about. The vessels are difficult to track because they turn off transponders, fail to fill out mandated log records, create fake joint ventures with other boats or fly under the flag of other countries. In the meantime, their illegal tactics are destroying economies across the globe. Here’s more with Chris Chappell on China Uncensored.

American Greed Aiding China

China has a secret weapon. One so devastating, it could even make an invasion of Taiwan possible. What is this secret weapon? American greed. China is building advanced weapons systems using U.S. technology and the Americans who are profiting are looking the other way.

And the consequences could be dire for China’s neighbors. So-called private Chinese companies, such as Pythium Technology are testing hypersonic missiles that could be used by the Chinese Communist Party to invade Taiwan. Here’s more with Chris Chappell on Uncensored China.

U.S.-China Stakes High

The Biden Administration’s U.S.-China relationship was put to the test with its first high-level meeting with meeting with Chinese officials. The summit happened in Alaska and a lot was at stake. Leading the U.S. delegation were Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, whose aim was to counter China.

At the heart of the issue is the Biden Administration’s foggy policy toward China, which is still revealing Trump Administration strategy, such as bans of Chinese apps, tariffs and whether to label the CCP oppression of the minority Muslin Uighurs as genocide. The big question remains how Biden will handle the tariffs imposed on China by the Trump Administration. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan sidestepped the issue, saying tariffs were not a focus of the summit, but instead the U.S. concentrated on big-picture strategy and American values. Here’s more with Chris Chappell of China Uncensored.

China Declares War On Bitcoin

China has declared war on bitcoin, but not for the reasons you might suspect.  And the news, says Chris Chappell of China Uncensored, is “stirring wider fear into a porridge of peril.”

And, as you probably guessed, it’s all about control. China accounts for 65 percent of all bitcoin mining globally, as compared to 7.2 percent for the United States. Problem for the Chinese is, bitcoin are created and circulated through a broad network of computers and not by a central bank or financial institution, totally operating outside of China Communist Party control. It gives Chinese people an option to use money completely free of CCP oversight.

So, in effect, the news of China’s dislike for the most popular form of cryptocurrency is part of a broader attempt by the CCP to create a national digital currency that it controls. Here’s more with Chris Chappell on China Uncensored.
