WATCH: Webinar | The CCP’s Invasion of Israel: How Xi Set Fire to the Middle East – and Why: Committee on the Present Dangers of China, May 27, 2024 — Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognized a non-existent state of “Palestine” today.

CCP’s 3-Battle Scheme: Eroding U.S. Power Before Taiwan Strait Clash: Long Kaifeng, Lei’s Real Talk, Apr. 9, 2023 — Yesterday, I wrote an article titled “Along with intense international struggles, recent events are numerous, and the U.S.’s downfall is inevitable.” This piece sparked controversy among many readers.
