China War

For the first time in any modern language, a female scholar and translator reimagines The Art of War. Sun Tzu’s ancient book of strategy and psychology has as much to tell us today as when it was first written 2,500 years ago. In a world forever at odds, his rules for anticipating the motivations and strategies of our competitors never cease to inspire leaders of all kinds.

The media cycle has now picked up the "lab leak theory" again as we start to get back to normal in developing countries following nearly 20 months of being lockdown by a global pandemic that came out of Wuhan, China. BSL-4 labs aren't new, and although it's difficult to say for sure, there are about 50 of these labs globally. The first one was seen in the US in 1967, and we have seen them developed in the following decades in response to increased scientific collaboration, better education, and a rise in the global population. What the world witnessed and is currently dealing with was not ...

The history of China is complex - perhaps, more complex than that of other nations. The ethnic groups that compose China go back to prehistoric times, and each group lent its own color to the enormous nation. It is not like a diluted mixture of all its cultures; rather, it is a collage. Yet, there are immutable elements still present today. Rice originated in China, and so did stir-frying.

A poetic, prophetic pandemic memoir hailed by humans, AI, and future historians alike. When COVID-19 first struck, Jorah Kai was already locked down in Chongqing, China—an ancient, cyberpunk megacity predicted to become one of the first global epicenters of the storm. As a former journalist, DJ, philosopher, and English teacher, Kai turned to what he knew best: writing. What began as a personal diary evolved into a gripping, poetic chronicle of survival, fear, resilience, and humanity in a world turned upside down. The Invisible War is more than just a memoir—it's an immersive journey ...

What a ride the Modern Age has been! There have been so many ups and downs with new varieties of the same old problems that we have been encountering since the first anatomical human started walking the Earth. There's nothing more depressing than reading a cynical novella that opens your eyes to the misery and suffering in the world, but these topics need to be addressed. Every cloud has a silver, and although, countless numbers of children, women, and men have died from COVID19, nearly every individual on the planet has been imprisoned in their apartment or home for over the last two years...

In February 1972, President Nixon arrived in Beijing for what Chairman Mao Zedong called the "week that changed the world". Using recently declassified sources from American, Chinese, European, and Soviet archives, Chris Tudda's A Cold War Turning Point reveals new details about the relationship forged by the Nixon administration and the Chinese government that dramatically altered the trajectory of the Cold War.

We have entered a new Cold War, even if most people choose not to admit it. The contest between America and China is global and unbridgeable, and it encompasses all major instruments of statecraft: diplomacy, technology, military power, intelligence, trade and investment. It has its tinder box: Taiwan. And both protagonists are working hard to draw allies and friends to their side from east and west, north and south. We stand at its beginning. But this Cold War is nothing like the last one between the Soviet Union and the West, which defined the second half of the twentieth century.

Vladimir Putin, the chief executive of the Russian state, shares his side of Russia's relationship with NATO, the United States, and the West with an American journalist, Tucker Carlson.Topics addressed: Why does Putin feel that Russia has a right to Ukrainian soil? Has Russia ever had any interest in joining NATO? Why does Russia seek to align itself with China on the international stage, and what has that partnership been like?And more. This transcript has been excellently formatted for a convenient reading experience on your Kindle or tablet, and is offered here without any alterations ...

The 19th century saw the rise of one of the largest, most powerful empires of the modern era. The sun never set on the British Empire, whose holdings spanned the globe, in one form or another, and trade flowed east and west. An integral but underutilized part of a vast trade network included China. The Opium Wars: The History and Legacy of the 19th Century Conflicts Between Britain and China examines the way in which trade, colonialism, and illegal drug use culminated with one of the 19th century’s most controversial fights.

Kirchner elaborates on a simple plan to let China destroy itself by effectively not doing anything. China should be allowed to expand, take control of all of its provinces, and dominate East Asia in its entirety. Socialism and communism have failed every time they have been tried; China is no exception. The case is made that US and Western involvement in the region as China reaches the milestone of being the world's largest economy is a complete waste of time. There is no reason for Western taxpayers and militaries to prop up pseudo democracies referred to as countries in the region because...

On the eve of WWII, the foreign-controlled port of Shanghai was the rendezvous for the 20th century's most outlandish adventurers, all under the watchful eye of the fabulously wealthy Sir Victor Sassoon. Emily Hahn was a legendary New Yorker writer who would cover China for nearly 50 years, and play an integral part in opening Asia up to the West. But at the height of the Depression, "Mickey" Hahn, had just arrived in Shanghai nursing a broken heart after a disappointing affair.

The Ukraine has been a safety plug for Europe for three decades, and if NATO wanted it as part of the alliance, it would have already let it in. President Putin has come to play, and he and the rest of Russia have nothing to lose. The major winner in all of this will be China as they will rebuild the entire region, profit heavily off the borrowing, and can use the war to deflect the COVID19 debacle that they created. At least now, we know the true intent behind releasing COVID19, and we should expect similar military actions in East Asia soon. Most Westerners don't care about what is ...

After China launches its attack on Taiwan, America will respond. But how far will the US go to keep Taiwan out of Beijing’s control? Russia wants to make money selling equipment, weapons, and fuel to the Chinese war machine. But, if China wins in Taiwan, will it stop there? Or will it begin to eye the over 4,000 kilometer long border it shares with Russia? If nuclear war does break out between the US and China, will Russia be able to stay on the sidelines? This time, even Russia’s most capable agents might not be able to save their country from disaster.

At the core of this ancient strategy manual is the understanding that conflict is an inescapable part of human life. Since, as Sun Tzu teaches, aggression and response in kind can lead only to destruction, we must learn to work with conflict in a more profound and effective way. Crucial to this strategic vision is knowledge - especially self-knowledge - and a view of the whole that seeks to bring conflicting views into a larger perspective.

What is the "FUTURE GENIUS Magazine For Adults"? Why a "FUTURE GENIUS" Short eBook for Grown-ups? The first word of the phrase - "FUTURE GENIUS Magazine For Adults" - makes sense, in the context of the book-series: "Codex Of The Eschaton" - COTE. However: Why the second word; and what does it really mean for us? Defining "GENIUS": The Amazon - Oxfordian Conundrum ... Between a Rock and a Hard Place! According to “lexico” - the online Oxford dictionary states: "… Exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability." Nope , that will not do ... "... person regarded as ...

Hundreds die in a fiery train crash in northern China. A cargo ship smuggling refugees is lost to calm seas off the Libyan coast. Entire villages in Ghana are abandoned overnight.

The last two years have been really difficult for everyone around the globe. Some people have moved out of cities, and others have just given up and taken to the streets. We now have vaccines to fight against COVID19 but access to them does not exist in every country yet. It is clear that the WHO has lost interest in its investigation into the origins of the disease, and in reality, this is probably a good thing because it is a waste of time. The virus could have been released by the Chinese Communist Party, hundreds of other governments, or millions of organizations around the globe. To ...

There comes a time when the world community has to say enough is enough. We have been lulled into complacency by China's cheap FMCG in our markets and entire livelihoods have become dependent on working at the retail stores that distribute these goods. How did we get to this point? Every dollar, euro, pound, etc... spent on a good that at some point was manufactured in China is a vote against our own freedom. China's ambitions through the Belt and Road Initiative and RCEP are to enslave the world, and the mainstream media and governments aren't talking about it because they are controlled ...

Ten days after the end of World War II, a young American missionary was brutally murdered by the Chinese Communists in 1945. Grievously, John Birch’s parents were informed that he had been killed by a stray bullet. Robert Welch, founder of The John Birch Society, was determined that John Birch did not die in vain. Throughout the book, you’ll realize the significance that Birch’s life represented: communism vs. capitalism, freedom vs. tyranny, and Americanism vs. globalism.

Many people in the West look upon the Second Sino-Japanese War, which took place in the 1930s and 1940s, as a sort of sideshow to the larger Second World War, but there is no separating the two. Imagine the Pacific War, the theater of World War II that took place in the Pacific. If the Japanese were not busy fighting on another front, they would have had millions of more troops available to fight the Americans and the British. In all likelihood, World War II would have ended the same way, but it would have taken much longer and cost that many more lives.
