“China – Communist Slave State”

China’s Industry-Takeover Playbook

Once lauded as “a storytelling medium that can…convey American ideals, including free expression itself, to foreign populations around the world,” the American film industry has largely abdicated its role in exporting Western values in hopes of catering to a Chinese market that’s now vanishing. The allure of a billion new moviegoers made kowtowing to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) censors seem like a savvy business move, and short-term paydays made selling out seem worth it. But as China has clamped down on market access once again, Hollywood’s ordeal now serves as a cautionary tale: China has a playbook for taking over industries, and yours could be next.

China: What does it want from the Ukraine crisis with Russia?

As the war of words between the US and Russia grows louder over Ukraine, one major player on the international stage has spoken up firmly as well: China.

In recent days, Beijing has called for calm on both sides and the end of a Cold War mentality, while also making it clear it supports Moscow’s concerns.

It would seem obvious that China would side with its longtime ally and former Communist comrade Russia. But how and why it is doing this goes deeper than their history.

Is the Future of the Persian Gulf Chinese?

In early January, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and the Islamic Republic of Iran traveled to China in the span of a week to strengthen their ties with the Chinese Communist Party. China, the emerging global superpower, has become the number one trading partner for these nations, thereby deepening Beijing’s political influence in the Middle East.

Over the last decade, on average, China imported half of its oil from the region. In 2020, China imported $82.6 billion of oil from Persian Gulf countries. Unlike Western democracies, China is in no rush to divest from fossil fuels. As the demand for Persian Gulf oil fades in the West, Chinese imports play an even more critical role in the region’s economic life.

Terry Glavin: The CBC’s gleeful promotion of its ‘Genocide Games’ coverage is shameful

 

It’s a paradox.

Canadians keep telling public-opinion pollsters they’ve had quite enough of the gruesome Chinese police state and would rather have nothing at all to do with the Beijing Winter Games, which officially kick off this week. With all the national shouting and divisive contentions over COVID-19 containment, inflation and a real estate industry drunk on relentlessly rising housing costs, it’s the one big thing Canadians seem to agree upon.

China Is Undermining the US Through Elite Capture: Author

The United States is currently traveling down a losing path in its battle against China because the communist regime has co-opted many American elites in Washington, Wall Street, corporate America, and the U.S. tech sector, warned author Peter Schweizer.

Schweizer, who recently released his new book “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win,” said that his book shows how appalling it is that some of the elites have been willing to “kowtow to the regime” just so that they have access to the Chinese market.

Let the Genocide Games Begin!

This Thursday, thousands of athletes from more than 100 nations will arrive in Beijing to participate in the Winter Olympiad, a made-for-TV spectacular.

In 2011, NBC agreed to a $4.38 billion contract with the International Olympic Committee to broadcast the Olympics through the 2020 games, the most expensive television rights deal in Olympic history. NBC then agreed to a $7.75 billion contract extension in 2014, to air the games through 2032.

Prince Andrew made eight trips to China as a guest of its propaganda unit

Prince Andrew made eight trips to China as a guest of an organisation accused of being a puppet for the Chinese Communist Party’s feared intelligence agency.

During the visits – most made on behalf of his Pitch@Palace business mentoring initiative – the Duke of York heralded closer UK-China co-operation, prompting critics to this weekend accuse him of being a ‘useful idiot’ for Beijing.

The visits, made between 2010 and 2019, were at the invitation of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA).

China’s ambassador to US warns of possible military conflict over Taiwan

China’s ambassador to the US has said the two countries could face a “military conflict” over the future of Taiwan, in an unusually explicit reference to the prospect of war.

“The Taiwan issue is the biggest tinderbox between China and the United States,” Qin Gang told the US public broadcaster National Public Radio (NPR), on Friday. “If the Taiwanese authorities, emboldened by the United States, keep going down the road for independence, it most likely will involve China and the United States, the two big countries, in the military conflict.”

Tensions over the island’s place in the world continue to grow. Beijing considers Taiwan to be a breakaway province of China. In November the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, told Joe Biden that any support for Taiwanese independence from the US would be “like playing with fire” and that “those who play with fire will get burned”.

Kelly McParland: The West’s clean energy push empowered Russia and China

The gospel on climate change has been that, first and foremost, fossil fuels must go.

Coal, oil, gas (liquefied or otherwise)… out, out out. Close the oilsands, cancel the pipelines, end the fracking, get rid of the nuclear plants while you’re at it. The imperative is all about ridding the world of supply, getting us off our existing addictions, whether or not there was an alternative available to take its place. It was taken for granted … or on blind faith … that the alternatives would be there. Technology would advance, innovation would flourish. Just get rid of the bad stuff and we’ll worry about supplying the good stuff later. It’ll work, I promise you. We can do this! No more coal! No more coal!

Chinese elite have paid some $31 million to Hunter and the Bidens

For those wondering why Joe Biden is soft on China, consider this never-before-reported revelation: the Biden family has done five deals in China totaling some $31 million arranged by individuals with direct ties to Chinese intelligence — some reaching the very top of China’s spy agency.

Indeed, every known deal that the Biden family enjoyed with Beijing was reached courtesy of individuals with spy ties. And Joe Biden personally benefitted from his family’s foreign deals.

Did Xi ask Putin not to steal China’s Olympic thunder by invading Ukraine?

Online reports citing an anonymous Beijing diplomat have speculated that Chinese president Xi Jinping, during a recent phone call, may have asked Russian president Vladimir Putin not to invade Ukraine during the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games.  A Russian attack incursion would steal Xi’s thunder and take the spotlight off of his glorious nation’s peerless hosting ability, thereby depriving him of the opportunity to showcase the superiority of the Chinese Communist Party.  If Putin were to sack Ukraine during the Olympics, it would create a highly negative backdrop for the Olympic Games.  In other words, it would be a bummer for Xi.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Beijing Olympics should never have been allowed to proceed

As the Beijing Winter Olympics draw near, the absurdity, moral compromise, and peril of granting the Games to China become increasingly clear. While some naively optimistic advocates once hoped the sporting event would encourage an evermore aggressive Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to play nice with liberal democracies, the notion is now undeniably more ludicrous than Boris Johnson’s dance moves.

Race is on to reach sunken US F35-C fighter jet … before China

A bizarre race against time is under way for the US Navy to reach one of its downed fighter jets – before the Chinese get there first.

The $100m F35-C plane came down in the South China Sea after what the Navy describes as a “mishap” during take-off from the USS Carl Vinson.

The jet is the Navy’s newest, and crammed with classified equipment – and, as it is in international waters, is technically fair game.

Whoever gets there first, wins.

Trudeau Liberals decision not to review lithium company takeover by Communist China a ‘mistake’: expert

OTTAWA — An intelligence expert said the federal government’s decision not to conduct a formal national security review on the takeover of a Canadian lithium mining company by a Chinese state-owned company was a “mistake.”

The government misjudged the takeover’s significance to Canada’s economic and national security both in the present and future, said Wesley Wark, a visiting professor at the University of Ottawa who specializes in international affairs and intelligence gathering.

“The kinds of explanations that have been offered by the government to date I find wholly unsatisfactory and very narrowly focused,” he told a House of Commons committee Wednesday.
