New York state will increase its online surveillance for “hate speech” and will confront people about their comments. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced this in a recent speech, which is raising concerns the city could begin punishing people for otherwise lawful speech.   In other news, during Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States, President Joe Biden called out Mr. Xi as being a dictator who leads a communist regime. Although the White House seems to be doing damage control, President Biden appears to be standing by his statements. And the CCP’s reaction to all this is telling of the real situation in China right now.   In this live Q&A; with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience.

The fate of Hong Kong is becoming a focal point in the United Kingdom, where a British judge, who recently resigned from Hong Kong’s highest court, said the former British colony is becoming a totalitarian state under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The criticisms focus on the recent conviction of 14 political dissidents by CCP authorities, and come in the wake of recent CCP suppression in Hong Kong about discussions on the history of the Tiananmen Square massacre. The CCP controls several territories where it employs additional abusive policies as a way to maintain its authority, including in Xinjiang and Tibet. And the question is now growing regarding whether Hong Kong could also find itself under similar policies. We discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

Is Hong Kong Becoming the CCP’s New Tibet?

The main espionage agency of the Chinese Communist Party has released a propaganda video on a new state program—essentially attempting to enlist every one of China’s citizens into the role of spies, from co-workers to kids, to the old lady down the street. Alongside this, the CCP has also been rolling out other programs, including one that forms militias among Chinese companies, and another for the military training of school children. So what’s really going on? We discuss all this and more in this episode of Crossroads.

Why Is the CCP Mobilizing Its Citizens as Spies and Soldiers?

The United States has developed a strategy to disrupt China’s communist regime if it tries to take Taiwan by force. This is now being described as a “Hellscape” strategy, and one that would involve classified capabilities as well as thousands of unmanned vehicles—including drones, submarines, and surface craft. Its aim would be to delay the CCP long enough for the United States and its allies to arrive, and could drag the Chinese regime into a drawn-out war similar to what Russia now finds itself fighting in Ukraine. In this episode of Crossroads, we’ll discuss this proposed U.S. strategy.

What Is the US ‘Hellscape’ Strategy to Stop a CCP Invasion of Taiwan?

The Chinese economy has been shaken by trade wars, a real estate industry slump, and foreign companies leaving as a way to “de-risk.” But is the problem really as bad as it seems?   In this episode of Crossroads, we take a look at the state of the Chinese economy, whether the attempts to fix it have worked, and what this could mean for global security and China’s competition with the United States going forward.

Is China’s Economy Actually Collapsing?

For the first time in decades, the United States is considering expanding, rather than reducing, its nuclear arsenal. This is allegedly being done in response to Russia, China, and North Korea reportedly expanding their own nuclear programs at a rapid pace. Given the current situation, there are growing concerns that the world may be returning to a state similar to that of the Cold War.
