China Unscripted

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. Joining us today is Perth Tolle, Founder of Life + Liberty Indexes, which makes human rights and economic freedom the bottom line of investments, instead of just the bottom line.

Zoom was asked to shutdown calls about the Tiananmen Square Massacre and they did. They also suspended the accounts of a Hong Kong activist, and Tiananmen Square survivor Zhou Fengsuo. 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. Turns out the school has very close ties to China. And it reflects deep ties the Chinese Communist Party has throughout Australia.
