The world’s two largest economies remain deeply interdependent even as they race toward greater self-sufficiency. Recently, the United States and China reached a fragile détente in their trade war, anchored by China’s agreement to resume rare earth magnet exports and America’s lifting of technology export controls. This captures the paradox of US-China competition: mutual reliance collides with mutual distrust as both sides build up their supply chains for critical minerals and advanced

2025/09/17

China’s sophisticated hybrid warfare is a key aspect of its campaign to undermine Taiwan’s resilience and discourage American involvement in the island’s security. On top of conventional military threats, Beijing uses disinformation and economic leverage to coerce and diplomatically isolate Taiwan. In the event of a crisis, China will likely intensify its use of these tactics to harm the United States military’s readiness and undermine support for intervention among the American populace. To

Southeast Europe, where Russia and Communist China have long sought to strengthen their foothold and expand their malign influence on the Continent, is a test case for a Russia-free, resilient European energy future. The region is becoming the gateway for liquefied natural gas imports from the United States, which could fully replace Russian gas by 2027.

2025/09/08

Given the scope and scale of the political prisoner crisis across China, the United States needs to do more to secure political prisoners’ release. The Chinese Communist Party holds at least 1.8 million Uyghurs in political prison camps and nearly 1,000 political prisoners in Hong Kong. In addition, the CCP extrajudicially detains many Tibetans, Christians (including pastors), and political dissidents. This is largely because the CCP sees political prisoners as an essential method of quashing

The United States and Canada are at an impasse on trade.

Meanwhile, many in Washington believe Canada needs the US more than the US needs Canada. But is that assumption accurate?
