IT is ChINA’S gravest economic test since the most far-reaching of Deng Xiaoping’s reforms began in the 1990s. Last year the country achieved growth of 5%, but the pillars of its decades-long miracle are wobbling. Its famously industrious workforce is shrinking, history’s wildest property boom has turned to bust and the global system of free trade that China used to get richer is disintegrating. As our reporting explains, President Xi Jinping’s response is to double down on an audacious plan to remake China’s economy. Blending techno-utopianism, central planning and an obsession with security, this sets out China’s ambition to dominate...

President Joe Biden held a phone call on Tuesday with China’s genocidal dictator Xi Jinping in which the American leftist leader reportedly emphasized his distaste for a “new Cold War” or “conflict” with the Chinese Communist Party and assured Xi he would not pursue economic “decoupling.” Those details appeared in the flagship Chinese news outlet Xinhua, which paraphrased Xi’s remarks as berating Biden to deny the existence of the nation of Taiwan, reject pressure to limit China’s malignant influence in the United States, and endeavor to “coexist in peace.”

They are making men illegal. The former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales faces a prison sentence of 30 months if convicted of charges of sexual assault and coercion. Rubiales grabbed and kissed footballer Jenni Hermoso at the Women's World Cup medal ceremony in August last year. He says it was consensual. She says it wasn't. But that's not the point. The point is that an area of life which has always been governed by manners, custom and judgement has now fallen under the grey, chilly shadow of criminal law. I confess I have not been all that given to grabbing...

American foreign policy experts have long argued that China has been laying the groundwork for a permanent rise as a major global power, and U.S. politicians (particularly on the Republican side) have certainly counted the ways in which China is clearly our No. 1 geopolitical foe. However, China's ascendency isn't without its setbacks, and at times it seems possible that China is closer to declining than rising. Their economy hasn't recovered since COVID-19, and Chinese President Xi Jinping has been dealing with more internal struggles than were previously let on. One such problem for the leader of the Chinese Communist...

Chinese president Xi Jinping has warned that 'all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait' will be 'reunified' in his sabre-rattling New Year message. He said today that China's reunification with Taiwan is inevitable as he addressed the nation less than two weeks before the Chinese-claimed island elects a new leader. 'All Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose and share in the glory of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,' Xi said according to state news agency Xinhua.

A recent report claims that Chinese President Xi Jinping told Joe Biden at their most recent summit meeting that the People’s Republic of China plans to eventually reunify with the island nation of Taiwan. According to ABC News, the exchange between the two leaders took place at the APEC Summit in San Francisco. Although Xi apparently did not leave the option of using force to do so off the table, he allegedly suggested that he would try to use peaceful methods first. While Xi has publicly stated similar intentions regarding Taiwan, his decision to bluntly reiterate this directly to Biden...

With the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference over and done with in San Francisco, some business owners are complaining that the city is reverting into a den for homelessness and drug use. Restaurant owner Tony Pankaew said in a local media interview.that San Francisco rushed to clean up the city for Chinese President Xi Jinping and other foreign dignitaries for APEC. "They cleaned up the people, they cleaned up the streets," he told CBS News Bay Area. "They made the city look good and look impressive for the foreigners, for the politicians." "Now they have started to come back," Pankaew...

President Biden wants Americans to believe his meeting with Xi Jinping was successful. But in truth, the U.S. gained nothing.President Joe Biden and China’s leader Xi Jinping met this week on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco. The Biden administration touted the meeting as a significant foreign policy achievement, even though it accomplished little but photo ops.Leading up to the APEC meeting, Xi had a weak hand, while the leverage was on the U.S. side. China’s economic growth has slowed down significantly. Its once high-flying property sector crashed and exports dropped. The youth unemployment...

VIDEOPerhaps some of you might remember the "Maalox Moment" commercials that used to run frequently on television. Well, perhaps now is a very good time to bring back at least one of those commercials because Antony Blinken most definitely had a Maalox Moment when Joe Biden public called his paymaster, Xi Jinping, a dictator in San Francisco. You can actually see the exact Maalox Moment that Blinken experienced as you could see the extreme pain that ran across his face when the word "dictator" slipped past Biden's lips. It was such an obvious Maalox Moment for Blinken that I even...

Gavin Newsom is celebrating the second French Laundry moment of his governorship practically on the anniversary of the first one! In November 2020, all humanity in his fiefdom was supposed to be on lockdown. Californians .. be ready to answer waspish Where's your mask!! epithets, and not to eat with anyone outside their bubble — especially not for Thanksgiving because you'll kill Grandma! Three years ago this very week, LA reporter Bill Melugin posted photos showing Gavin Newsom, his wife, and all manner of lobbyists, including a health care lobbyist and California Medical Association lobbyist, collected at the French Laundry...

VIDEOAntony Blinken looked like he was in a state of great anguish verging on outright grief during Biden's San Francisco meeting with his paymaster, Xi Jinping. Is it because he has given a sneak peek at the blackmail material that Xi has on Biden or did his Deep State overlords just tell him Joe gotta go?

VIDEO After years and years of lame excuses for why San Francisco remained a filthy garbage dump, that city was cleaned up in just three days. Was it suddenly cleaned up because the Democrats who run San Francisco and California suddenly realized it was time to do something for the citizens of that city? No. It was done ONLY because Governor Gavin Newsom wanted to impress Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping because he is arriving in San Francisco, along with other world leaders, for an economic summit. And since it is very very important to impress Joe Biden's paymaster, San...

President Biden is expected to announce a controversial deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed at slowing the deadly flood of fentanyl across the United States. The two leaders are tipped to announce a deal as they meet Wednesday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco, one of the cities most blighted by what has become the deadliest drug in the US. “We’re hoping to see some progress on that issue this coming week,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Monday, ahead of the meeting. “That could then open the door to further cooperation on other issues where...

How long was Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Speaker of the House? She was in power for quite a period. And how long have the Democrats controlled San Francisco? Probably longer than Pelosi has been in office. Yet, Pelosi and the Democrats have allowed the city to deteriorate into a hell hole. Heck, Democratic policies helped it get that way with things like free needles and not holding criminals accountable. As we reported, people who worked in the San Francisco federal building named after Pelosi were told to work from home because the situation around the building was so unsafe. But...

So the City of San Francisco can clean up its act ... when it wants to.And now that it's going to be hosting luminaries such as China's Xi Jinping, suddenly, the place isn't homeless, drug-addicted, shoplifting-plagued, assault-and-robbery dump any more.Funny how that happens. https://t.co/Cbr4rU8I9e So San Francisco decides to roll out the red carpet for Pres Xi Jinping by cleaning up years of crime and grime in a matter of days. If it’s that freaking easy to do, why not do it for American citizens and taxpayers instead of a communist Chinese… — Jeanine Pirro (@JudgeJeanine) November 10, 2023 So...

VIDEOEverybody knows WHY failed California Governor Gavin Newsom visited China. It is because Communist Dictator Xi is switching out Joe for Belt & Road Gavin. But what was Newsom's excuse for why he visited China? It is so laughably LAME as to be outright hilarious. I don't want to spoil the entertaining surprise for you in this description because you need to hear it for yourself from the corrupt lips of Gavin himself in the video.
