January 2021

One of the headline news recently was John Bolton’s new book, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, published on June 23, 2020 by Simon & Schuster. (This publisher also has two other books about Trump’s family, one, The Art of Her (Melania) Deal by Mary Jordan and another, Too Much and Never Enough, by Dr. Mary L Trump, Trump’s niece.)  The Wall Street Journal...

​ Western Anti-China Sentiment Anti-China sentiment in the West has been gradually on the rise since the 2008 financial crisis. The rise has been greatly hastened after Donald Trump assumed the presidency in 2017.

 On January 13th, Congress eagerly passed the second impeachment against the 45th U.S. President with a charge of ‘Incitement of Insurrection’. This followed shortly after the protest at Capitol Hill, which turned into a riot storming into the capitol building on January 6th and the impeachment was quickly passed on the 13th. The Democrat-controlled House was so righteous to blame the riot on...

 The New Year is always a time for deep reflection and gratitude—all the more so in this most strange and traumatic of times when the deep injustices of society are laid bare.  I originally wrote a version of this piece as a draft email to my extended family back in June 2020 amid the historic Black Lives Matter uprisings—a powerful moment of collective trauma and collective awakening....

The concept of maintaining military superiority for dominating inter-national...

 The US-China relations is an important subject since it affects global economic development and world prosperity and peace.
