Chen Guangcheng’s daring escape to the U.S. embassy turned into a major political headache for President Obama on Thursday as Republicans accused the administration of naively handing the blind human rights activist back to Chinese authorities….
Embassy officials say Chen left the embassy of his own volition to be reunited...
I previously posted regarding Pete Hoekstra’s commercial about jobs being shipped to China, and the cries of racism because an Asian woman played the role of an Asian woman in China in the commercial.
The woman’s identity was outed by a blog called Angry Asian Man, which noted what was about to...
I posted earlier in the week about the Super Bowl commercial run by Pete Hoekstra, who is running for Senate from Michigan against Debbie Stabenow.
The commercial was part of a DebbieSpendItNow.com campaign highlighting the loss of jobs in Michig...
No, not the video I posted of Nancy Reagan.
It was, according to Israel Matzav, a video of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wishing China a Happy New Year, receiving 40 million views not including people who viewed it on Chinese television:

As part of his campaign to paint Newt Gingrich as crazy, Mitt Romney has focused on Newt’s statement that the Palestinians were an “invented” people. Romney argued at the Drake University debate Saturday night that Newt had used ”incendiary words” which would ”create extraordinary tumult” and said ”I’m not a bomb thrower, rhetorically or literally.”
Romney and...
Although scholars of the history of the NY Times Op-Ed pages may be able to find a more vile Op-Ed, I dare them.
From Paul Kane, a suggestion that the United States sell-out Taiwan to China in exchange for forgiveness of $1.14 trillion in debt, To Save Our Economy, Ditch Taiwan:

I’ve posted before about the Chinese real estate bubble, and what will happen when this bubble bursts.
Rather than worshipping the Chinese economy like Obama does (high speed trains anyone?), we should be recognizing that the Chinese model, like the Soviet model, is artificial and contrived. There is only so much that...
They will not have China to bail them out:
For so long we have heard nothing but how the Chinese were doing things right. Hundred of millions rising up out of poverty. News cars replacing bicycles on the streets of Beijing. An economy that could not be stopped, which grew...
There is something disturbing about an explanation of our debt crisis in Chinese, even if the video producers are in Taiwan, not mainland China.
It’s easy for them to laugh.
Reader Tom reports that when he was in China recently he was not able to access this blog, or the affiliated Facebook and YouTube pages..

As a follow up to my post the other day regarding the
reopening of a rare earth minerals mine in the U.S., China
announced yesterday that it was slashing
exports:
China, which produces about 97 percent of the global supply of the metals used in the production of numerous high-tech products, cut...
I have posted multiple times before about how worldwide “green” technology and a variety of high tech industries were dependent on “rare earth minerals” mined almost exclusively in China. U.S. production was shut down almost a decade ago over environmental concerns. Among other things, the Chinese had used this dominance to...
I stumbled upon this unusual video, taken by American Jews in China and narrated in Yiddish, of man-on-the-street interviews regarding perceptions of Jews and Israel.
The money line is at 7:30 of the video, in which a sympathetic Chinese man wonders whether it is true that Jews control American foreign policy. He must...
China is ascendant so our administration wants us to emulate China’s infrastructure investments and constructions, by building high-speed and light rail projects few will use and which will further drain state budgets.
It will not last. China’s ascendancy, that is. I agree with this analysis by a short seller (someone who makes...
Last January, and again in late September, I wrote that the Achilles heel of the Obama green energy agenda — which involves a stifling of carbon-based energy use through taxation and regulation in favor of “green” energy sources — failed to take into account that green energy technology depended heavily on “rare earth” minerals...
