Crossroads with Joshua Philipp ·

2024/07/12

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is pushing for a new global order under its control. The push for a new international power structure came to the forefront after a meeting between CCP leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin during a gathering of leaders from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. They now aim to create an alternative global security alliance, along with a new push for a “multipolar world” where the United States would no longer be the world leader. We’ll discuss

China has been quietly buying up aviation companies in the United States and Europe. This has been part of a push both to become a contender in the commercial airline industry, and to help advance its military aircraft.

Crossroads with Joshua Philipp ·

2024/07/09

China has become one of the main sources of the world’s solar panels and wind turbines, but as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pushes green energy internationally, internally the regime has been moving toward coal and nuclear power.

Crossroads with Joshua Philipp ·

2024/07/08

In his book “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” author George Orwell imagined a futuristic “INGSOC” or “English Socialism,” where the totalitarian regime controlled its population with constant video surveillance and ideological control. His imagining of that system included televisions that watch civilians, information control, historical revisionism, and logical tricks to make people accept lies as truth. In China today, all of these systems are actually in place already under the Chinese Communist

Crossroads with Joshua Philipp ·

2024/07/02

There’s a new campaign taking place in China, where the CCP is trying to revive Marxism by merging it into Chinese culture. The campaign isn’t limited to just theory.

2024/06/13

The United States has developed a strategy to disrupt China’s communist regime if it tries to take Taiwan by force. This is now being described as a “Hellscape” strategy, and one that would involve classified capabilities as well as thousands of unmanned vehicles—including drones, submarines, and surface craft. Its aim would be to delay the CCP long enough for the United States and its allies to arrive, and could drag the Chinese regime into a drawn-out war similar to what Russia now finds itself
