China

Recently, the CCP has shown particular sensitivity and tension concerning the relationships between the US and Taiwan, as well as Japan and Taiwan.

Fighting Japan, the Party Chief Ends Up Reaping Only a Face Full of Loneliness

The growing passive resistance by many Asian countries against the CCP’s violence and brutality has increasingly drawn global sympathy....
