Nancy Pelosi is expected to visit Taiwan as a part of her Asia Tour, despite being warned by Biden. U.S. and China relations are at a new low because the CCP is not happy with nancy Pelosi visiting China. China claims that Pelosi visiting Taiwan is a sign of a threat to them. The U.S. Defense Department is making sure that Pelosi’s safety is a guarantee and priority. China’s tensions with the U.S. were getting worse, so Biden and Xi JinPing discussed it in a call with each other. Biden told the public he believed it wasn’t a good idea for Pelosi to visit Taiwan, especially at a certain time like this.

During the years of 1950 through 1953, over 100,000 U.S. soldiers along with the 16 country UN Peace Keeping coalition, approximately 11,000 Peacekeepers, fought the combined approximate one-million North Korean and Chinese invading infantries of the southern half of Korea. Against such overwhelming numbers of enemy soldiers, the U.S. army, along with the UN, fought numerous battles, the worst loss being the battle at Changjin Reservoir. A new Chinese Communist State funded propoganda film depicts the loss where the  United Nations Command forces were surrounded by Chinese forces

The Justice Department announced charges Monday against six Chinese citizens, including five alleged spies. These 6 Chinese citizens were accused of recruiting citizens to find out the prosecution against a major Chinese company. The Chinese company had something to do with Huawei, and it faced federal prosecution in Brooklyn. This highlights the increased efforts into finding out what the Chinese government wants from the U.S. Gouchun He and Zheng Wan were accused of spying on federal prosecution against a telecommunications company. With the U.S.A cracking down on the intentions of the Chinese government, we can feel a bit more relieved about our safety.

‘‘Sophisticated Chinese hackers who used an iPhone security flaw to target ethnic minority Uighurs also went after Tibetans in exile” (Menn, 2019). Those hackers sent messages to many Tibetans. The article also states, ‘‘Eight of the 15 Tibetans known to have received the tainted links recalled opening them, the researchers said’’ (Menn, 2019). It’s sad to know that people can’t even show decency sometimes, especially since both Tibetans and Uighurs are being tortured every minute. Chinese hackers were trying to target Tibetans and Uighurs by using technology and as a result, got in contact with many Tibetans.

| style="width:30%;" |'''Years of Chinese Oppression of Tibet'''
Tibetans have been oppressed under Chinese rule since 1959. The leader of Tibet, Sikyong Penpa Tsering, seeks action from the U.S. because of cultural eradication. 900,000 kids ranging from ages 8-to 16 are being sent to warehouses to learn. They aren’t allowed to study their religion. They are also being subjected to political indoctrination. “We want to make it known to the world that what is happening in Xinjiang is one level, but what is happening in Tibet is another level — we are dying a slow death.” This is what Penpa told POLITICO, and it’s true. Tibetans are having our culture taken away from them and it’s far from okay. 8 Tibetans were arrested for teaching our language and more than 100 Tibetans were arrested for saving pictures of His Holiness, The 14 Dalai Lama, and messaging other Tibetans abroad. This goes without saying; the people involved in this are just evil. We can’t contact family and we can’t look at our leader or pray for them. The Chinese government's damage to our people is just an outrage. Our culture is being eradicated and if we don’t stop this now, who knows what will happen next.

China is attempting to take control of Taiwan through intimidation over time.  This is occurring due to China's claim that Taiwan is part of China. Beijing has been pushing Taiwan by flying warplanes near the island as war drills. A major reason for China's aggressive actions is Taiwan's continued effort to achieve independence, with the US's support.  The US is helping Taiwan with its defense and self-defense services as well. The US will continue to help and protect Taiwan to the best of its ability. However, the Chinese ambassador stated in an interview that China and the US may clash if this continues.

| style="width:30%;" |'''China in the Caribbean'''
All over the Caribbean, China has been donating and lending money to nations in order to establish relations with the countries mostly to secure strategic positions against the U.S. In order to expand its influence in the Caribbean, China has given grants, loans, investments to develop diplomatic, cultural, and security efforts. By providing military and police equipment for security measures, cultural centers such as a network of Confucius Institutes, China seemingly is attempting to provide benefits, but may in fact be spread Communist government propaganda. Even though the Caribbean markets are mostly small and lacking raw materials and large minerals, the Caribbean's close proximity to the U.S. and its location for trade and well known banking businesses makes it a prime area for China to focus its attention. As a result of China's new interest in the Caribbean, the U.S. is attempting to counter China by extending its own financial incentives to the island nations.

| style="width:30%;" |'''Focused Efforts Needed to Halt China's Atrocities'''
China's Communist government must control information coming into the country and, especially, going out of the country. The effect of China's control has been horrific in inhuman ways such as harvesting organs, unlawful imprisonment of Uyghurs in concentration camps, forced erasure of the language and culture of ethnic people. If this new "Evil Empire" is to be confronted and changed, to prevent another NAZI type extermination, funding is necessary.  Such a large effort would be needed, the size of the Manhattan Project, to put an end to China's Communist Party (CCP) which would have to involve publicizing the stories of those who have suffered. China's human rights atrocities must be exposed and a revolution of counter-counter-revolutionaries must rise up to attain freedom.

| style="width:30%;" |'''Training for the Take over of Taiwan'''
Every time a US official visits Taiwan, China immediately schedules military, especially Air Force, exercises closer and closer to the island. Resulting from the US official Alex Azar's trip to Taiwan, China sent 19 aircraft which flew over the boaundary which separates China from Taiwan.
To top it off, the Chinese newspaper, the Global Times, said in an editorial that every time a U.S. official comes to Taiwan, the aircraft should go closer to Taiwan and if more important U.S. officials come, the aircraft should fly over Taiwan. This, in effect, would be tanatmount to declaring war.
It is clear that China views Taiwan as part of its territory, and it's flexing its muscles to left those views be known.

The Chinese government’s rampant abuse of the human rights and religious freedoms of Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang is an urgent issue impacting the broader region. We call on China to end this campaign of repression, and immediately release the approximately 1 million arbitrarily detained in camps. We urge other governments of the region and the world to join us.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is perpetrating a sustained campaign of forced sterilization, forced abortion, and involuntary implantation of birth control. Recent, documented evidence of these practices in Xinjiang is consistent with decades of CCP practices that demonstrate an utter disregard for the sanctity of human life and basic human dignity. We call on the Chinese Communist Party to immediately end these horrific practices and ask all nations to join the United States in demanding an end to these dehumanizing abuses.

Among the worst violators of religious freedom in the world, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is continues to show blatant disregard for religious freedom and exercises extreme hostility to members of all religious faiths, including Protestants, Catholics, Tibetan Buddhists, Uyghur Muslims, and Falun Gong. The CCP’s campaign of repression against Uyghur Muslims and members of other minority groups in Xinjiang continues to escalate. More than one million Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and members of other minority Muslim groups have been arbitrarily detained in internment camps since April 2017. In practice, the CCP targets everyday expression of Islamic belief such as owning a Quran, praying, avoiding alcohol or tobacco, fasting during Ramadan, as well as secular aspects of non-Chinese culture such as Uyghur language and Uyghur music.

Numerous fighter jets flew into Taiwan's airspace threatening the Island nation. Such regular patrols are not new for Taiwan for which China states that it is protecting its sovereignty.
Taiwan's Defence Ministry condemned the actions as threatening and damaging to peace and stability. Last month Taiwan's president Tsai Ing-Wen warned that the risk of accidental conflict was increasing because of China's actions in the South China Sea.
China had no immediate comment on the incident.
