A Chinese video game has jumped to the top of sales charts. The game, “Black Myth: Wukong,” sold over 10 million copies within a few days of release. And while the game caused a number of controversies, those are the least of the problems with Chinese video games overall. The real problem with video games coming out of China actually has to do with the anti-cheat software that gets installed on players’ devices.

Crossroads with Joshua Philipp ·

2024/08/29

The United States is expanding missile defense systems in countries around China. This is taking place as the newly revised nuclear defense strategy has shifted from recognizing Russia as the main nuclear threat to now saying the Chinese regime is the main threat. And while the United States has now issued additional sanctions on Chinese companies for their support of Russia in its war in Ukraine, the Chinese Communist Party is doubling down on its military ties to challenge the West.

The United States has followed through on its warnings that more sanctions against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were coming. Last Friday, it imposed sanctions on nearly 400 entities and individuals, including many in China, for their support of Russia’s war in Ukraine. This comes after NATO determined the CCP is the “decisive enabler” of Russia’s ability to keep the war going. And now, rather than backing off its support for Russia, CCP leaders are doubling down.

2024/08/27

The Chinese Communist Party claims it has made new breakthroughs in its push to develop fusion energy. The reactors are envisioned as the next generation of nuclear technology. But at the same time, the new developments may not be what they seem, and China is currently outspending the United States on the race to develop fusion energy. But some of the money is coming from an unlikely source. We’ll discuss all this in this episode of “Crossroads.” *Views expressed in this video are opinions of

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has folded on its fentanyl production. The CCP has agreed to control and restrict the production of key ingredients used to manufacture the deadly drug. This could cut the fentanyl supply to the United States. For the CCP, however, this move is just the tip of a very large iceberg. The communist regime doesn’t just control the market to supply key ingredients for illicit drugs throughout Latin America and the United States: Criminal organizations with ties to the

A new moon race is brewing. The Chinese communist regime has now declared that it found water and minerals in soil samples Chinese scientists had been analyzing from a previous lunar probe. The recent discovery is now spurring a competition over who will build the first moon base, and possibly who can establish a functioning system on the moon to begin taking advantage of the purported water supply and minerals. Alongside these motives, however, is a corresponding military ambition, and a race to

2024/08/22

The steel industry is facing too much supply and tumbling prices. Much of the problem is coming from China, where Chinese Communist Party (CCP) policies have led to overcapacity. Faced with this issue, the United States placed tariffs on Chinese goods, including steel and aluminum, which the CCP has in turn tried getting around by using Mexico as a waypoint to the U.S. market. This loophole is now being closed as well. We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads. Views expressed in this video

Rebellion takes many forms. Counterculture movements tend to try to go against social norms and household values that teens especially might see as restrictive. But in China, a new type of rebellion is taking place. People are simply giving up and embracing a low-pressure lifestyle. This is part of the “lie flat” movement, where young people are refusing to compete, refusing to push themselves, and oftentimes refusing to work or study. And for the Chinese Communist Party, this represents a type
