@zhihui999 Hong Kong doesn't have a journalist as stupid as 海外爆料. Freedom of speech equals making fun of national leaders? What a low-IQ idiot.

@GordonGChang Why save America? Is America doomed? I really don't understand what Gordon G. Chang is talking about.

Save America. End CCP.

The Chinese Communist Party is the single greatest external threat to the United States of America. That is not a political statement. It is not an opinion offered for effect. It is the operational reality I lived as Director of DIA and National Security Advisor, and it is the conclusion confirmed by every serious threat assessment produced by the United States Intelligence Community in the years since.

@xie_wanjun Hong Kong doesn't have a journalist as stupid as Wanjun Xie. Freedom of speech equals making fun of national leaders? What a low-IQ idiot.

forwardChinese diplomat Gao Zhikai, known for his "wolf warrior" tactics, claimed, "China has freedom of speech!" A Hong Kong human rights journalist immediately retorted, "Since there is freedom of speech, please name the two biggest mistakes Xi Jinping has made in the past five years? Or say on the spot, 'Xi Jinping looks like Winnie the Pooh,' and I'll consider you the winner."
After a three-second silence, Gao Zhikai finally managed to squeeze out a single sentence: "Thank you." Then, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Gao Zhikai was full of lies, and the Hong Kong people immediately set him on fire, giving him a resounding slap in the face.This silent embarrassment, this crisp slap, demonstrates to the world what CCP-style "freedom of speech" is all about!

25yrs ago, Gordon Chang said China was about to collapse. Instead, China became the world’s largest economy (GDP PPP).
6yrs ago Chang used his magic again to bless Huawei. Huawei overcame the sanctions & announced a new chip architecture yesterday that will compete with TSMC.

The noose is tightening:
Beijing is treating elite “private” sector AI engineers and innovators like national assets.
Elite talent are getting their passports seized, require Politburo-level approvals for overseas travel, and in some cases, exit bans.
They are shutting down the Singapore-washing playbook, where Chinese firms relocate headquarters, key operations, or talent to rebrand as “Singaporean” in an effort to dodge Beijing’s oversight, attract Western capital, and bypass US scrutiny.
Bloomberg@business
China is restricting overseas travel for top AI professionals in private firms such as Alibaba and DeepSeek, suggesting an escalation in measures intended to safeguard its technology and catch up to the US in a pivotal sphere. Government agencies have begun imposing restrictions on individuals involved in advanced AI work and considered strategically important to the country, people familiar with the matter said. bloom.bg/4uy8OPC 📷: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg

Not many world leaders will have the balls but also gravitas to execute such a statement against a world power like China
Strong, calm, and firm
“We are majority Chinese, but not China”
Remember the TikTok CEO video?
Yeah

Singapore's most senior diplomat just stood on Chinese soil and told the Chinese state directly: we cooperate with you because of shared interests, not because of shared blood. That sentence is more significant than it sounds. Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore's former Prime Minister and current Senior Minister, completed a five-day visit to China last week, meeting officials in Guangxi and Shanghai. Speaking to Singapore media on May 22, he was direct: "We are a Chinese-majority country, but we are a multiracial society. We are a separate country with separate sovereignty from China." He added that Singapore's ties with China are grounded in mutual benefit, not shared ethnicity or ancestry. This is a deliberate and pointed statement. The CCP has spent decades promoting the idea that ethnic Chinese people around the world, regardless of citizenship, share a special bond with the Chinese motherland. The concept of 同宗同源, meaning "same ancestry, same roots," is embedded in Chinese state rhetoric aimed at diaspora communities across Southeast Asia, including Singapore's Chinese majority. United Front Work Department operations, diaspora engagement programs, and state media all lean on this framing to cultivate affinity, influence, and loyalty among overseas Chinese populations. Lee Hsien Loong said that is not the basis of Singapore's relationship with China. Singapore cooperates with Beijing because it serves Singapore's interests. Full stop. The moment those interests diverge, the shared ethnicity changes nothing. Singapore has maintained this position since Lee Kuan Yew built the country. It rejects the "Third China" label. It maintains strong ties with the United States, Japan, and the West while trading extensively with Beijing. It is ethnically Chinese-majority and fiercely sovereign. That combination makes it a direct challenge to the CCP's narrative that Chinese ethnicity implies Chinese political alignment. Lee said it in Shanghai. In front of Chinese media. After visiting Chinese officials. The message was intentional and the audience was chosen carefully. #Singapore #China #CCP #LeeHsienLoong #Sovereignty #Geopolitics #SoutheastAsia #UnitedFront #Diaspora #ASEAN

A taxi driver in SZ asked me why many Msian Chinese referred themselves as 中国人 but not in SG where 华人 is used
In SG, aligning with China was bad news in the anti-communist emergency era to its push for western English education. Less education, less pay, less opportunity.

Thanks to the US-Israeli war on Iran, the use of China’s renminbi in cross-border trade is SURGING.
Transactions through Beijing’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) recently hit RECORD HIGHS as sanctioned oil trade shifted into yuan settlement.
CHINA = BIG WINNER.

Since its founding, the CCP has sought to use the Leninist concept of the United Front to extend its influence abroad by weaponizing ethnic ties to the Chinese diaspora.
Lee Kuan Yew knew this first hand. In the 1950s–60s, Chinese medium schools and left wing unions in Singapore were heavily infiltrated by communist elements tied to Maoist China and the Malayan Communist Party. They caused a lot of trouble for him.
He once said:
"The danger is, if you are Chinese-educated and only Chinese-educated, you are monolingual, then your source of literature will be communist."
So one of the smartest things LKY did was to make English the working language of government, business, education, and administration (while promoting bilingualism with mother tongues).
Lee recognized that "ethnic strings" could be weaponized. Prioritizing English was more than just an anti-communist measure. Lee Kuan Yew understood that it would help create a neutral, unifying language and identity in Singapore’s multiracial society, while also cutting the emotional and cultural ties that linked its ethnic Chinese population to their ancestral homeland.
Ties which the CCP are only too happy to weaponize.
It's significant that Lee Hsien Loong - Lee Kuan Yew’s own son and Singapore’s former Prime Minister - chose to reaffirm the very ethos of his father’s founding vision before an audience in mainland China, speaking directly to the Chinese leadership and the CCP itself.

I suspect there must be my followers at Lianhe Zaobao, because some of its articles seem to be responding to my posts on X about Singapore.
First, Lianhe Zaobao labeled those of us Chinese who criticize Singapore as “inexplicable, gloating, and excessively doom-mongering Chinese netizens spewing nonsense about Singapore on social media.” It looks like me, doesn't it?
Then, it nitpicked and harshly criticized 《Letters from Ah Ma》, a film about Chinese immigrants who went to Southeast Asia in the last century to make a living — just days after I posted my view that “this film makes people realize that Singapore’s current elite are traitors to Chinese civilization.”
Even Lee Hsien Loong, during his recent visit to China, stated that “Singapore and China are friends, but Singapore is an independent country from China,” whereas I often refer to Singapore as “China’s Crimea,” suggesting it should hold a referendum to join China.
To test whether these people are really following my X, I’m going to put forward a new argument: As a Chinese-majority country, Singapore’s government has an obligation to maintain the dominance of Chinese culture there. If its government deliberately seeks to extinguish Chinese culture, that would be a betrayal of Chinese civilization, and China would have the duty to launch a “Crusade southward” to recover it. I look forward to Lianhe Zaobao publishing an article questioning the legitimacy of my “Crusade southward.” lol.

China is an atheist country. The CCP has no religion. So China has no right to choose the next Dalai Lama. It should free Tibet and the Tibetan people. Very simple we are not Chinese nor were we ever part of China. For 67 years you have misruled Tibet.The Tibetan people want out
