On Friday, January 20th, Donald Trump will officially become the 45th President of the United States.
Whether you love him, hate him, have mixed feelings, or are a robot with no feelings at all, there's no denying that Trump's presidency will have a YUUUGE impact on US-China relations.
NTD Television is preparing an English-language Facebook broadcast for Friday's presidential inaguration. It's a live broadast, but they asked to pre-tape the interview with me...presumably because they were concerned I ...

And here I had a nice nuclear winter coat ready for a Cold War! If it turns hot I'll simply have nothing to wear.

Chris back from vacation, and boy are most of us relieved. (Coup is now on hold.)
And Chris is just in time to cover a "perfectly normal" situation in the Taiwan Strait that is absolutely nothing to be "overly panicked" about.
It's the best beard. The greatest beard. But it may be the last time you see it. This will be the best 72 seconds you spent today.
BTW, this is a patrons-only behind the scenes video. Patrons are not charged for this post.

Donald Trump and many other presidential candidates have promised to label China a "currency manipulator." But what would this mean?
While Chris is on vacation, your favorite Humor Ninja Shelley Zhang fills in. Also, she has a fancy degree in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania, so that ...

Apple has once again given in to Chinese censors. This time, by censoring the New York Times app. And regardless of how you feel about the New York Times, blanket censorship is probably not the answer.
But what's really behind Apple's latest anti-customer service move?
On this episode, I'm f...

Film producer Andrew Choi predicted the future so well, it's scary.
We sat down with him while we were in Hong Kong a few weeks ago to talk about his film "Ten Years".
I've always been a HUGE fan of LEGOs. So we just had to do this episode.
When we were in Asia—especially the Taiwan Shilin Night Market—we kept seeing all these weird LEGO-like sets, all just a bit "off" in some way or another. I took 50+ photos, and Chris and I picked our favorite 10. 2017-01-02 21:55:58 +0000 UTC View Post

While we visited Macau a few weeks ago, we encountered one of the region's rarest species: a democracy activist.
Scott Chiang's New Macau Association is much weaker than Hong Kong's pro-democract groups, but Chiang told us this is both a curse and a blessing.
This is our second of two Macau ...

A lot of you have been asking us to please cover Macau. And a lot of others have been asking, "What's Macau?"
China has "One Country, Two Systems" where Hong Kong is the second system. But Macau is also under another governance system, which is sort of like Hong Kong, and sort of not. But definite...

China is supplying a lot of the drugs that are the core of The Philipppines' drug epidemic. But instead of confronting China about it directly, Philippines President Rodirigo Duterte is asking China for weapons...to fight the drug dealers who are dealing the drugs that come from China. Because the m...

Is the Chinese Navy threatening the US? Or are they just dumb? Because they lifted a US scientific underwater drone right out of the water. Without asking, obviously.
And now, once again, we have to delay our scheduled episode because China created an international incident.
2016-12-19 19:18:35 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a while since our last Google Hangout! Sorry about that, the trip to Asia kind of threw the schedule off.

It seems president-elect Donald Trump just can't help creating international incidents before even becoming president!
Fortunately, some of these international incidents are Trump standing up to the Chinese Communist Party.
We will see where this leads us. Still 41 days till inauguration. 2016-12-09 17:18:45 +0000 UTC View Post

Here in Hong Kong, big news is breaking. There's a new, major threat to HK's democracy.
But then...Trump trumped it.
Since viewers have been emailing us about China Uncensored's take on it, I wanted to get this episode out ASAP.
