China’s Challenge to the Monroe Doctrine

Until recently the U.S. seemed serious about enforcing the Monroe Doctrine, but China has now established a foothold throughout Latin America. What gives?

Time magazine reported earlier this year that China is South America’s top trading partner. Chinese companies, according to correspondents Ciara Nugent and Charlie Campbell, invested nearly $13 billion in Latin America in 2019, while China is a major consumer of Latin American exports, purchasing “beef from Uruguay, copper from Chile, oil from Colombia, and soya from Brazil.” State-controlled Chinese tech companies (Huawei, ZTE, Dahua, Hikvision) have made inroads in Latin America, Time reports, that will allow “Beijing to dictate the rules of commerce for a generation.” And China’s political influence has spread to the Caribbean Sea and Central America, where the Dominican Republic, Panama, and El Salvador switched their formal recognition from Taiwan to China.

China: The patriotic ‘ziganwu’ bloggers who attack the West

With her reassuring smile, Chinese blogger Guyanmuchan cuts a friendly figure on Weibo.

The young woman commands a devoted following of 6.4 million fans on China’s Twitter-like platform, where she posts hot takes and videos on current affairs.

But the cute aesthetics of her brand – her page features a dreamy picture of a girl posing in the woods – belie her often acidic tone.

The European Union is “on a dog leash” to America, according to a recent post. Rising Covid rates in the US state of Texas was evidence of “civil war” where “Americans are currently killing one another with biological warfare”, said another.

‘The future is China’: Billionaire from Montreal becomes vocal Beijing booster in embattled Hong Kong

As the back-story for a self-made business tycoon, Hollywood screenwriters couldn’t have done much better than Allan Zeman’s actual life.

Growing up poor in Montreal, Zeman lost his father when he was just seven years old and joined the working world only three years later. By 12 — he often claims with his trademark toothy grin — he was making more money from his paper route and cleaning job at a steak house than his school teachers took home.

Cybersecurity firm says Chinese digital spies have hacked telecom data

A network of digital spies with connections to Chinese interests has hacked part of the global telecommunications network to steal a large amount of cellphone data, according to a California-based cybersecurity firm.

CrowdStrike reported on its blog Tuesday the results of an investigation that shows the hacking group, dubbed “LightBasin” by the firm and known publicly as UNC1945, has compromised at least 13 global telecommunications companies since 2019.

Huawei’s Long Game

In late September, Meng Wanzhou stepped off the Air China plane in Shenzhen to a hero’s welcome. It was the triumphant return of an innocent Chinese tech executive from wrongful imprisonment by the West. The truth is far different.

Meng, a Chinese national, was on Canadian soil in 2018 when the Trump administration began extradition procedures against her as part of a fraud case against both her and her employer, Huawei, for potentially violating U.S. trade sanctions on Iran. In Canada, the imprisonment which she called “an abyss” amounted to wearing an ankle bracelet and enjoying an extended stay in the city of Vancouver, where she, Huawei’s CFO, was free to explore the city by day, while living in her own home there, taking classes in painting and lessons in English.

Chinese effort to gather ‘micro clues’ on Uyghurs laid bare in report

Authorities using predictive policing and human surveillance on Muslims in Xinjiang, thinktank says

Authorities in the Chinese region of Xinjiang are using predictive policing and human surveillance to gather “micro clues” about Uyghurs and empower neighbourhood informants to ensure compliance at every level of society, according to a report.

The research by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) thinktank detailed Xinjiang authorities’ expansive use of grassroots committees, integrated with China’s extensive surveillance technology, to police their Uyghur neighbours’ movements – and emotions.

The findings shed further light on the extraordinary scope of the Chinese Communist party’s (CCP) of the largely Muslim and purportedly autonomous region, going beyond police crackdowns and mass arrests to ensure total control.

George McLeod: Seeking friendlier alternatives to China

Recent statements by Canada’s ambassador to China, Dominic Barton, that Canada should “seize opportunities in a rising China,” demonstrate that Canada is taking the wrong approach to the PRC. Rather than treating the two Michaels fiasco as a speed bump in an otherwise productive relationship, Canada should view it as an urgent call to divest and scale-down its ties with China.

Gonna be tough to change course, the China Class is well embedded in our political and business classes.

‘War is Real’: Defend Taiwan or Give It the Bomb

“The island’s society must be warned that they better not believe the ‘rock solid’ promise of the U.S. because Washington will never fight to the death with the Chinese mainland for the island’s secession,” the Chinese Communist Party’s Global Times proclaimed on October 14, referring to Taiwan.

The words, contained in an editorial, reflects the Party’s propaganda line, and that line almost certainly reflects the thinking of Chinese leaders.

Why it matters to the world if China delivers on its carbon targets

It has been well documented, most recently in last week’s International Energy Agency report, that the world’s governments have failed keeping up with their own climate change promises.

That is why as the globe prepares for the COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, starting Oct. 31, analysts are watching whether the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, China, is actually on track to meet its own climate objectives.

It’s pledged to have carbon dioxide emissions peak “around 2030” if not earlier, en route to net-zero emissions by 2060.

Yea trust China.

Exit of top public health agency official leaves questions on Chinese military involvement with high-security disease lab

Iain Stewart played a central role in government efforts to block publication of documents regarding the firing of two scientists from a Winnipeg microbiology lab

OTTAWA — The recent departure of the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada could stymie opposition efforts to uncover details surrounding a high-security microbiology lab in Winnipeg, where two scientists were fired earlier this year for undisclosed reasons.

China denies testing nuclear-capable hypersonic missile

China has denied reports that it tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile earlier this year, insisting instead that it was a routine spacecraft check.

The initial report in the Financial Times newspaper prompted concern in Washington, where US intelligence was reportedly caught by surprise.

Hypersonic missiles are much faster and more agile than normal ones, meaning they are more difficult to intercept.

It comes as concern grows around China’s nuclear capabilities.

U.S. Officials Sound Alarm On Stunning Chinese Hypersonic Missile Test: ‘No Idea How They Did This’

Communist China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile late this summer that circled the planet before taking aim at its target; a test that has stunned the Biden administration.

“Five people familiar with the test said the Chinese military launched a rocket that carried a hypersonic glide vehicle which flew through low-orbit space before cruising down towards its target,” Financial Times reported. “The missile missed its target by about two-dozen miles, according to three people briefed on the intelligence. But two said the test showed that China had made astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than US officials realized.”

China’s real-life Squid Game: How organs are harvested from THOUSANDS every week for a ‘kill to order’ market

Since it first hit Netflix last month South Korean horror series Squid Game has captivated audiences in over 90 countries, quickly becoming the most watched international show in the streaming platform’s history.

Viewers were enthralled by the blood-soaked dystopian thriller that pits players against each other in contests fought to the death for a chance to win cash.

And while the Asian drama is obviously fictitious and a pointed critique of modern life, one of the show’s side plots where human beings have their organs harvested and sold is very real.
