    You wonder when some US retailers are going to say that China is just not worth all the bad press in the USA. Made in USA used to be a huge selling point that made Walmart a national chain. Perhaps a tag that lists allied country suppliers would a good step while US workers decide to continue to collect instead of work.

    Taiwan reports largest Chinese incursion in months; Taiwan buys Lithuanian milk rejected by China

    Taiwan releases 1st-ever civil defense handbook; Shanghai restrictions to impact US supply chains



    China In Focus

    Shanghai’s lockdown hits Apple. The company’s major suppliers in the region have suspended operations, bringing production to a halt. Three Chinese cities house more billionaires than New York. But China’s GDP per capita remains a small fraction of America’s. What’s behind it? Is Taiwan preparing for war? The island’s military released a handbook for its citizens, telling them what to do in case of a wartime emergency. Similar questions arise over military developments in China. Beijing’s latest economic policy may offer clues. An expert breaks it down. A trade standoff with China ends in success for Taiwan. The island is exporting more pineapples than ever, despite a Chinese import ban from last year that could have crippled the market.

    The Lessons Taiwan Can Learn From Ukraine


    China Insider
    The Chinese Communist Party seeks to destroy the United States—from economics to the military—all while their eyes are on Taiwan and beyond. Taiwan is on the front line of freedom. If Taiwan falls, the next island chain is American territory like Guam. I speak with John Mills—former director of cybersecurity policy, strategy, and international affairs at the Department of Defense and senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy—about the situation in Taiwan, what the Taiwanese can learn from Ukraine, and why Americans should care about Taiwan.

    Shanghai, China’s largest and most thriving city, has been locked down for weeks, with food shortages, anxious citizens, and draconian measures, putting a bruise on its economy.

    Special report: How the Indo-Pacific controls the future of nations



    China In Focus


    Half of the United States’ top trading partners and trillions of dollars—and more—could all be lost, as the Chinese regime has grown ever more aggressive in the waters of the Indo-Pacific. In this special report, we look at why this area is crucial for not just America, but the world, what happens if the Indo-Pacific is no longer free, and how the United States seems to have lost sight of the ball. Joining us to shed light on the topic are Greg Copley, president of the International Strategic Studies Association, and Cleo Paskal, senior fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
