If you’ve ever browsed through social media, chances are you’ve come across advertisements that seem to offer pretty good deals. And when you click through, you find yourself on a Chinese marketplace. One of these is Shein, a fashion retail company based in Nanjing, China. The other is Temu, an online marketplace similar to Amazon, but based out of China, and with most of its goods shipped directly from China. These companies are now coming under scrutiny, both in the United States and in the European Union. And as the controversy unfolds, there’s a chance policies could affect them in a similar way to the TikTok restrictions. We’ll discuss this and more in this episode of Crossroads.

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. Just last year, China unveiled its first domestically produced passenger jet, and that development—taking place alongside the growing controversies with Boeing—could mark the first step in China’s play for the global aviation industry. We’ll discuss this topic and more in this episode of Crossroads.

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. So why is the CCP pushing one agenda abroad, yet a very different one internally? We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

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 Party. But in a new communist push, the CCP is rolling out new forms of technology that will take surveillance and social control far beyond what Orwell could have imagined. We’ll discuss what’s now happening in China on this episode of Crossroads.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been enacting policies that seem to suggest that China is facing a food crisis. Problems around food supply have been brewing for years in China, with serious water pollution, natural disasters, and the dwindling amount of arable land. The CCP used to heavily rely on imports, but economic lockdowns and contentious global trade policies are making that more difficult. Now, the regime is enacting policies that have analysts wondering if the food problem is worse than it seems. We’ll discuss this issue in this episode of Crossroads.

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. It represents changes taking place throughout the country, from farms to the military, and from business to the CCP leadership. It appears that the CCP is planning to become more isolated from the world and, as new alliances are forming amid growing threats of war, the regime is trying to roll the country back to Maoist-era policies. We’ll discuss the changes currently taking place, and what they mean, on this episode of Crossroads.

The Chinese regime is banging the drums of war. Outside China, it’s becoming more aggressive. In the South China Sea, it’s growing more daring in its disputes with the Philippines. In trade, its diplomats are aggressively trying to expand in new markets. Politically, its diplomats have been on the offensive. Yet, behind the scenes, there is a very different picture. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is reorganizing its military, but the demand is for loyalty to the Party. The same calls for loyalty are being issued within the ranks of the CCP’s leadership. But even more telling, there are signs the CCP has a growing fear of its middle-class citizens. So what’s really going on, and what’s behind this new push for loyalty to the Party? We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

The United States drew a line in the sand in its disputes with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It declared openly that if the CCP attacks the Philippines, the United States will be forced to defend its ally. The warning comes after a Philippine sailor was seriously injured following a Chinese coast guard ship allegedly ramming their boat. The latest incident comes amid a growing pattern of confrontations between Philippine ships and CCP ships in the South China Sea. The Chinese regime claims ownership of the whole region, which has been rejected by many nearby countries as well as by the United States. As the conflicts grow in intensity, with a possible CCP invasion of Taiwan also hanging over the region, there is growing talk of war. We’ll discuss what’s taking place, in this episode of Crossroads.

The United States and Europe are involved in a trade war with the Chinese Communist Party. Tariffs that started under the Trump administration when the United States was looking for new trade deals with China have since expanded under the Biden administration. Now it’s no longer just about trade. It’s about competition for jobs, domestic production, and international politics. So what’s really going on? We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

It appears the Chinese Communist Party is launching a charm campaign at the Muslim world. This includes new propaganda programs in China, and new pushes on the diplomatic stage where it seems the CCP is trying to win new support among Muslim countries. Yet, behind the scenes, the CCP has continued its brutal human rights abuses of Muslims, and its diplomatic push is already running into problems. In this episode of Crossroads we’ll discuss this campaign, and what’s really at work.
