China Unscripted

The world debates whether what the Chinese Communist Party is doing to Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, China is genocide. The US China relationship is strong thanks to decades of elite capture in Wall Street and Capitol Hill. Will the Biden Administration stand up for the Uyghurs? On this episode of China Unscripted, joining us is writer, linguist, Uyghur activist, and President of the President of the Uyghur Help Organization, Abduweli Ayup.

China has promised to invade Taiwan and the day the Chinese military might actually do that under Xi Jinping is closer. And if Taiwan falls, the West falls as well. How does Taiwan US relations fit under the Joe Biden China policy? Joining us on this China Unscripted is Grant Newsham, a retired U.S. Marine Colonel. He’s now a Research Fellow at the Center for Security Policy

Chinese leader Xi Jinping declares the US the biggest threat to the Chinese Communist Party. He also tells cadres to take up the Communist spirit of struggle. How will the Biden China policy reflect the growing realities of US China relations? More on this week's China Unscripted!

The Chinese Communist Party has been quietly taking over Europe, spinning the EU China relationship to its advantage. The EU China Deal was good for the China economy, but did nothing for human rights in China. But there are signs China's attempts to use the Belt and Road Initiative to get into China may be failing. Joining China Unscripted today to talk about China's influence in Europe is Theresa Fallon director of the center for Russia Europe Asia studies.

Taiwan deployed missile defense systems in response to an incursion by the Chinese military into Taiwanese airspace. The Taiwan Strait is on the brink of war as Taiwan President Tsai Ing-Wen waits to see how the Biden China relationship develops. That story and more on this China Unscripted.

President Joe Biden had his first call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. But what will the Biden China policy look like? There's still a lot of questions on the horizon. On this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about the direction of US China policy under the Biden Administration.

Universal Health Care and socialist medicine may sound appealing, but in China, the healthcare system is supported by money from crimes against humanity—organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience like Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghur Muslims. And it should set the tone for China at the UN and Biden China relations. Joining us today on China Unscripted is award winning human rights lawyer David Matas.

The fight for Hong Kong is far from over. The China's National Security Law may have led to the arrest of pro-democracy legislators and activists like Joshua Wong, and harassment of Jimmy Lai and Apple Daily, but Hong Kong protesters haven't given up. Joining us today is Joyce Ho, the founder and director of Project Black Mask.

Has real communism ever been tried? You bet! On this episode of China Unscripted, we take a break from all the insanity with a play through of the Hasbro board game Monopoly Socialism, where we reject our capitalist tendencies and work together to create a prosperous Utopian society! Or kill each other in the process.

Uncle Roger, aka Nigel Ng, censored YouTube celebrity foodie Mike Chen because of "incorrect" remarks about China. Things like mentioning the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Hong Kong protesters' fight for freedom, and practicing Falun Gong, or Falun Dafa, the persecuted spiritual practice targeted by former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin. On this China Unscripted, a chilling example of how Chinese Communist Party propaganda and censorship reaches even into the United States.

A new China EU trade deal has shocked the world, as the US and human rights defenders criticize the deal pushed forward by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Even as China violates WTO trade rules, subjugates Hong Kong, and holds concentration camps in Xinjiang for Uyghur Muslims, the EU China deal has no way to hold China or the Chinese Communist Party accountable for human rights violations. Europe's financial deep state loves the deal and the CCP loves the boon to the China economy. But don't worry, we keep it light on this China Unscripted.

China is playing the long game to influence and infiltrate Canada and Canadian society. From hostage diplomacy—the kidnapping of two Canadian citiznes Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in retaliation for the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, to the China military training with the Canadian military, to more subtle economic subversion by the China economy. And the Trudeau family, including current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has a big role to play. On this China Unscripted China podcast, Cleo Paskal from Chatham House and Foundation for Defense of Democracies joins us!

Why is South Korea's president Moon Jae In trying to appease North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un? And was South Korea's April legislative election rigged by China and Huawei? As growing anti-American sentiment and pro Communist ideology spreads in South Korea, US China relations may be thrown into disarray. And there are disturbing signs that what happened in South Korea and China could be happening in the United States today. Joining us on this full episode of the China Unscripted china podcast is Yeonmi Park, North Korean defector and author.

Southern Mongolia, or Inner Mongolia as the Chinese Communist Party calls it, erupted in some of the biggest protests in China since the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacred, because of a campaign of cultural genocide that would have banned the Mongolian language from schools in Southern Mongolia. But these are the descendants of Genghis Khan. Civil unrest was a given and a new wave Mongol resistance enters into Chinese history despite martial law. They weren't going to give up without a fight. The situation for Mongols is very similar as the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Joining us on today's China Unscripted is Enghebatu Togochog Director of the Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center!

China is waging a political war against the United States. This is a US China Cold War that the US has been unwilling or unable to fight. As we can see with Chinese influence operations targeting Hunter Biden, or Chinese agents like Fang Fang getting close to Rep. Eric Swalwell, or lobbying from Wall Street, the Chinese Communist Party is very successful and elite capture and influencing Americans in this modern warfare. Is there any way for the US to fight back? And what would a Biden Administration's China policy look like? Joining us on this episode of China Unscripted is Professor Kerry Gershaneck, from National Chengchi University in Taipei.

China has launched a global war on religion and belief. That's obvious from the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Uyghurs, Falun Gong practitioners, and House Christians. And the coronavirus has been one more excuse for China to crackdown on religion. But Communism strikes at the very core of American first amendment values of freedom or belief and freedom of speech. Worldwide, there is a growing rift between traditional values and modern materialistic Marxism. And this war is even being fought in the United States. What will this mean for US China relations? Joining us today on China Unscripted is Marco Respinti, Director in Charge of Bitter Winter, an online magazine documenting religious persecution and human rights in China

With the US election results between Donald Trump and Joe Biden still up in the air, some people have begun to talk about the great reset to US China relations. Many investors, Wall Street and even people like Henry Kissinger want to see US China relations go back to the way before Trump China change. And that carries a lot of dangers. But what would Biden China relations look like?

Was there voter fraud or election fraud in the South Korean election? And did China and Huawei play a role? It may sound hard to believe, but there is growing evidence that the April 2020 election was rigged. And President Moon Jae In is silencing critics. It turns out election news isn't all about the US election 2020 and Trump vs Joe Biden. Joining us today is Grant Newsham. Newsham is a retired U.S. Marine Colonel. He’s now a Research Fellow at the Center for Security Policy.

China systematically targeted Hunter Biden with business deals involving the Chinese state, intelligence, and even China's military, the People's Liberation Army. This is not the Hunter Biden laptop story from the NY Post! This is from a report based on publicly available documents that media have refused to cover. How much did Joe Biden know about Hunter Biden's China deals? Economist and China expert Christopher Balding joins us on China Unscripted to discuss the report and its possible effects on US China relations and the US election 2020.

Hong Kong is under siege from the Chinese Communist Party, as Hong Kong police under the guidance of Chief Executive Carrie Lam rule with an iron fist, arresting protesters like Joshua Wong. But Hong Kongers are still fighting back, with an underground protest movement, while free newspapers like Apple Daily, run by Jimmy Lai, struggle against authoritarianism. Meanwhile, the Pope remains silent on Hong Kong as the Vatican pens a deal with China to appoint Catholic bishops inside China. Joining us once again on the China Unscripted Podcast is Benedict Rogers, Co-founder and Chief Executive of Hong Kong Watch.

The Chinese military has gained access to the personal data on millions of influential people around the world, including Americans, and yes, including their Tiktok data. This was the findings of China expert Christopher Balding who's responsible for the Zhenhua data leak. Zhenhua is a Chinese company that was gathering data on millions of people worldwide the Chinese Communist Party would like to influence and bend to their will. 

China's espionage activities in the United States have come to light after it was revealed a NYPD police officer, Baimadajie Angwang, an ethnic Tibetan, was allegedly spying on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. US China relations are in trouble. Meanwhile, China rewrote a bible story about Jesus. This time, Jesus stones a woman to death. China has also greatly expanded detention centers in Xinjiang for Uyghur Muslims. Plus Trump and China face off at the United Nations, with Xi Jinping making a very ambition promise to the UN to become carbon neutral by 2060.

The India China border dispute continues to spiral out of out control as clashes between both sides turn deadly. But it's part of a much bigger strategy by China, part of what's called Comprehensive National Power, to strangle India, by gaining influence in countries surrounding India, like Nepal and Pakistan, as well as disputed border territories along the Line of Actual Control like Ladakh, the Galwan Valley, and the Arunachal Pradesh. Joining us on this China Unscripted podcast is Cleo Paskal is an Associate Fellow in both the Asia-Pacific program and the Energy, Environment and Resources department at Chatham House, as well as a Non-Resident Senior Fellow for the Indo-Pacific in the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. 

China has been massively expanding Uyghur Concentration Camps in Xinjiang, according to a review of satellite images by Buzzfeed News' Megha Rajagopalan, Alison Killing and Christo Buschek. Combined with the exposure from Disney's live action release of Mulan, which was filmed in Xinjiang, and the horrible crimes of the Chinese Communist Party is being revealed for the world to see.

China's navy is the largest in the world—even bigger than the United States. Plus, anti-aircraft carrier missiles pose a real threat to America's navy, warships and aircraft carriers. This is the result of America's decades long failure to confront China and the Chinese Communist Party. It was a bipartisan failure. And it will require a whole of government, bipartisan solution to confront Chinese aggression. And new us sanctions on Chinese companies involved in island building have pushed US China relations to the brink. Welcome to the China Unscripted china podcast. Joining us today is Captain Jim Fanell, the Former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations for the U.S. Pacific Fleet—that’s the US Navy. And he specialized in the Chinese Navy.

China has slowly been subverting Hollywood, using its massive movie market to censor American films, like Top Gun, as well as influencing how movies like Looper and Iron Man 3 get made. Joining us today is Chris Fenton. He’s the former president of DMG Entertainment Motion Picture Group, and he worked in Hollywood for two decades on some of the biggest blockbuster movies. He’s also the author of the new book “FEEDING THE DRAGON: Inside the Trillion Dollar Dilemma Facing Hollywood, the NBA, & American Business.” Find out how one of the people responsible for delivering Hollywood to China had a change of heart, after Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey got censored in America by the NBA for speaking out in support of the Hong Kong protests and criticizing Carrie Lam.

President Donald Trump has threatened to ban the Chinese app WeChat and TikTok over national security concerns. But many overseas Chinese depend on WeChat to communicate with family and friends in China. And Corporate America, including Apple, do big business on WeChat. So it's causing controversy. Joining us to debate the WeChat ban is Zhou Fengsuo, one of the student leaders during the Tiananmen Square protests and the founder of Humanitarian China which Promotes rule-of-law, human rights, and freedom of expression. Also joining us is Dr. Yang Jianli, who was also involved in the Tiananmen Square protests.

Massive flooding along the Yangtze river is putting strain on the Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. Some experts fear it could burst, drowning the downstream cities of Wuhan and Chongqing, cities of millions. But China also has a lot of military bases in the region as well. And that could have devastating consequences for the People's Liberation Army and their ability to project military power around the world. Plus, China's military gears up to engage and confront India, South China Sea nations, and Taiwan. Joining us today is Andy Wolf, defense analyst, commentator and author.

Whether it's harvesting 13 tons of hair or halal organ harvesting, the Chinese Communist Party is waging a slow motion genocide on millions of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, or East Turkestan as Uyghur rights activists call it. But. while the Trump administration is looking to sanction Chinese officials involved in the persecution, Muslim countries remain silent. Joining us today is Arslan Hidayat, an Australian Uighur rights activist, who runs the most popular Uighur based facebook page in English called Talk East Turkestan. He’s also the General Secretary of the newly-formed ‘Uyghur Revival Association’ an organization that sheds light on the Uyghur’s plight committed by the Chinese Communist Party.”

He’s also the author of the book “City on fire: the fight for Hong Kong, to discuss what the national security law means for One Country, Two Systems, and what the future of the Hong Kong protest movement may be.

The Trump Administration is banning federal pension funds from investing in China. But many pensions still do. In fact, you might be invested in China without even knowing. China makes up a huge chunk of Emerging Markets. And an authoritarian regime using slave labor and covering up the coronavirus, might not be a safe investment.

Zhou joins us today to talk about how his account got suspend. Plus, Twitter uncovers thousands of fake China bot accounts spreading Communist propaganda and disinformation.

The Chinese Communist Party is exploiting the George Floyd Protest, police corruption, and systemic racism as the latest propaganda narrative in their war of words with the United States. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has called them out. But is China's propaganda working?

China's National People's Congress is pushing ahead with a national security law for Hong Kong that could make criticism of the Chinese Communist Party illegal. It also comes as the Hong Kong Legislative Council forces through a national anthem law that would make criticizing the CCP's national anthem illegal. Noticing a pattern here? And Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam backs Hong Kong police, clearing them of any police brutality. Joining us today is Hong Kong Free Press co-founder and editor in chief Tom Grundy.

No one is safe in China. That's what Peter Humphrey, a British citizen, a former journalist, and a private investigator, found out the hard way. After being hired by pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline, he ended up imprisoned in China for almost two years with his wife. He was drugged, put into a steel cage, and made a forced confession on Chinese state-run media. That was broadcast around the world, including in the United Kingdom. And now the man responsible for making the propaganda news of Peter's forced confession, James Chau, is a goodwill ambassador to the World Health Organization. 

Drew Pavlou, an Australian student at the University of Queensland, is being threatened with expulsion for organizing protests in support of Hong Kong protesters and criticizing human rights abuses in Communist China, like the persecution of Tibetans and Uighur Muslims.

The world spent a good week or two wondering if North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un was alive or dead. And that got China, South Korea, and the US thinking—what happens when he dies? We interview North Korean defector Yeonmi Park for her inside knowledge of the situation in North Korea, and how communist influences have transformed South Korea to the point that Kim Jong-Un has become something of a pop idol.

The officially atheist Chinese Communist Party has launched an unprecedented crackdown on religion. Concentration camps for Uighurs. Organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners. And now they're going after Christians, using the oddest excuse imaginable...

Whether it's the NBA and players like Lebron James or James Harden, Hollywood, Apple, or Activision Blizzard, there are a lot of American companies and people selling out to the Chinese Communist Party. At some point Chinese leader Xi Jinping must have realized that just because you're a communist, that doesn't mean you can't use money to buy people off. But the US House has passed landmark legislation supporting the Hong Kong protesters, so in a weird twist of fate, it's the politicians who ended up showing some backbone.

We're entering "the Decade of Concern," according to Captain Jim Fanell, the Former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations for the U.S. Pacific Fleet. It's a period of time when the Chinese Navy will become more powerful and aggressive, with the goal of asserting China's influence in the South China Sea and conquering Taiwan. Just how big a threat is China's Navy? And can the United States military rival it? — China Unscripted

As the Hong Kong Protest movement shows no signs of dying down, Beijing has launched an all out disinformation campaign, claiming the "black hands" of the US are pulling the strings. Plus, Disney's Mulan may be in trouble.

We spent three weeks in Hong Kong following the extradition bill protests, Carrie Lam's blundering press conferences, and global attention from the G20. We need sleep. And you need to listen to this podcast.

He's an instructor in international journalism at Claremont McKenna College, and was an Associated Press correspondent in Tokyo, Paris and New York from 1982-1997.

The Chinese Communist Party has been waging an unrestricted war against free and democratic countries around the world. But the Chinese regime showed their hand a bit too soon and people started to catch on. People like Clive Hamilton, author of Silent Invasion: China's Influence in Australia. It's a play by play guide book of how the Communist Party undermines democracies around the world. And countries around the world have started to wake up.

President Trump's Trade War on China is in full effect. But who really started it? 25% tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese goods has China on the defensive, and a propaganda campaign against the US is in full swing.

Joining us is songwriter Jonathan Coulton, aka JoCo, who wrote the song too sensitive for Beijing to even hear. Plus, Shelley tells us about her trip to Berlin to see the Stasi Museum!

Venezuela is in chaos, as current President Nicolas Maduro tries to maintain his grip on power, in the face of challenger Juan Guaido. Some say it's a failure of socialism.
