I sat down with famous student activist Joshua Wong, who was a major leader in the 2014 Hong Kong Umbrella Movement.
I mean, I really just wanted to sing a song from Les Misérables with him. But we also ended up talking about important stuff, like him getting beaten up and detained for h...

I sat down with the head of Taiwan's New Power Party last week. By popular (?) demand, we are doing more interviews—ideally with interesting, funny, or important people. Tell me if you agree.
Well, I'm sure glad to have your support, my 50-Cent Army! Because check out this picture from my YouTube backend.

Well, Patrons, you made this happen!

I have been planning to do more interviews on China Uncensored—with experts, officials, and other people who have reasonably intelligent things to say.
This interview with Jamie Metzl ran really long. It was about 25 minutes, and in cutting it down, it was like: "Should I keep the funny ...

Who's next, Brunei? What's Brunei, anyway? Well, one by one countries with claims in the South China Sea seem to be chill with giving up their claims, as they back away from the US and lean in towards China. Good luck, Southeast Asia...'cause you know, Xi ain't gonna treat you right.
Okay my 50 cent army, I know you can do better than these 10. Get cracking!

1 million down, 50 million to go. Xi Jinping is cracking on corrupt officials...who totally coincidentally just happen to be his political opponents.
Just a reminder! Google hangout with me today at 3pm US Eastern Time. I'll send the link out 10 minutes before hand. See you there!—Chris

You'd be angry, too, if you spent your life serving your country, and then are asked to live on $2 a day. So what are Chinese army veterans gonna do about it?
The trolls often respond to criticism of the Communist Party by saying, "Have you ever been to China? The Communist Party has lifted 800 million people out of poverty!" Well, now you know what to say to that.—Chris

According to a map going around the Thai Interwebz, Thailand is pretty much a part of China now. You know, doing its bidding and such.
