The United States and other countries are looking to break the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) monopoly on rare earth minerals. The CCP has demonstrated its willingness to cut off supplies of key resources to other countries, needed in everything from smartphones to high-tech weapons. Yet, as the United States and others look to establish new mining operations, the CCP doesn’t seem willing to give up its monopoly so easily. Now, the regime is looking beyond China’s borders to bolster its supplies and is looking to begin mining the ocean floor. We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads. *Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.    ⭕️ 🇺🇸Josh's Special Offer👉 https://ept.ms/JoshSpeicalOffer ⭕️ Support our fight for the truth👉 https://donorbox.org/crossroads

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is pushing for plans to mine the moon. A new proposal from Chinese scientists is to construct a magnetic launcher that would work as a transport system in order to establish an Earth-moon economy. And if they were to build systems like this, they would also need to establish new infrastructure in other locations. This ties into the broader concerns of the CCP trying to control the so-called cislunar system—the space between Earth and the moon. The issue with the CCP’s ambitions for the moon is not limited to this; it ties into the problem of civil-military fusion. And as all this happens, scientific collaboration between the United States and China is on the decline. One big aspect is that U.S. taxpayers are funding research meant for U.S. innovation, including in defense. However, this research has been ending up in China, including with the Chinese military. We’ll discuss these topics and more in this episode of Crossroads. *Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.    ⭕️ 🇺🇸Josh's Special Offer👉 https://ept.ms/JoshSpeicalOffer ⭕️ Support our fight for the truth👉 https://donorbox.org/crossroads

A former top aide to two New York governors has been charged with working as an illegal agent of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Linda Sun, who was deputy chief of staff for Gov. Kathy Hochul and deputy diversity officer for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was accused by federal prosecutors of being an undeclared agent for the Chinese regime while working for the politicians during her tenure in the New York government. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Sun had engaged in political activities that aligned with the interests of the CCP and also conspired to launder the proceeds of the alleged unlawful activities. Meanwhile, the break from the Chinese market is now hitting Hollywood as American movies fall flat in China. This is taking place as the CCP warns against the “Westernization” of Chinese youth, with the regime increasing its focus on soft power. As this happens, the regime is also expanding its censorship and surveillance programs.

The Chinese regime is looking into various tactics to take Taiwan by force. Among the methods now being proposed within China is the creation of a so-called shadow government, which can be used to seize control of the country from within. The tactic would be used to make a smooth regime change within Taiwan were the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to attempt a takeover. This plan was proposed in a now-deleted document titled “Start Taiwan Takeover Preparations as Soon as Possible” written by unnamed researchers at Xiamen University’s Cross-Strait Institute of Urban Planning, and obtained by the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington. We’ll discuss these takeover plans in this episode of Crossroads. *Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.      ⭕️ 🇺🇸Josh's Special Offer👉 https://ept.ms/JoshSpeicalOffer ⭕️ Support our fight for the truth👉 https://donorbox.org/crossroads

The first known survivor of forced organ harvesting by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has stepped forward.

This is taking place as the newly revised nuclear defense strategy has shifted from recognizing Russia as the main nuclear threat to now saying the Chinese regime is the main threat.

The United States has followed through on its warnings that more sanctions against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were coming. Last Friday, it imposed sanctions on nearly 400 entities and individuals, including many in China, for their support of Russia’s war in Ukraine. This comes after NATO determined the CCP is the “decisive enabler” of Russia’s ability to keep the war going. And now, rather than backing off its support for Russia, CCP leaders are doubling down.

The Chinese Communist Party claims it has made new breakthroughs in its push to develop fusion energy. The reactors are envisioned as the next generation of nuclear technology. But at the same time, the new developments may not be what they seem, and China is currently outspending the United States on the race to develop fusion energy. But some of the money is coming from an unlikely source.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has folded on its fentanyl production. The CCP has agreed to control and restrict the production of key ingredients used to manufacture the deadly drug. This could cut the fentanyl supply to the United States. For the CCP, however, this move is just the tip of a very large iceberg. The communist regime doesn’t just control the market to supply key ingredients for illicit drugs throughout Latin America and the United States: Criminal organizations with ties to the CCP also handle money laundering for the cartels, and the overall drug war is rooted in a Mao-era program to wage war on the United States through alternative means.

A new moon race is brewing. The Chinese communist regime has now declared that it found water and minerals in soil samples Chinese scientists had been analyzing from a previous lunar probe. The recent discovery is now spurring a competition over who will build the first moon base, and possibly who can establish a functioning system on the moon to begin taking advantage of the purported water supply and minerals. Alongside these motives, however, is a corresponding military ambition, and a race to control—and potentially weaponize—the earth-moon system.

The steel industry is facing too much supply and tumbling prices. Much of the problem is coming from China, where Chinese Communist Party (CCP) policies have led to overcapacity. Faced with this issue, the United States placed tariffs on Chinese goods, including steel and aluminum, which the CCP has in turn tried getting around by using Mexico as a waypoint to the U.S. market.

Rebellion takes many forms. Counterculture movements tend to try to go against social norms and household values that teens especially might see as restrictive. But in China, a new type of rebellion is taking place. People are simply giving up and embracing a low-pressure lifestyle. This is part of the “lie flat” movement, where young people are refusing to compete, refusing to push themselves, and oftentimes refusing to work or study. And for the Chinese Communist Party, this represents a type of quiet rebellion against the high-pressure system that is nearly impossible to quell. We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

It’s said that when something is about to collapse, it’s slow at first, then all at once. We may now be watching the start of a new economic crisis, as markets are now hit with the largest decline since the “Black Monday” crash in 1987. Back then, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DOW) dropped 508 points, or about 22.61 percent, and wiped out around $500 billion in market value. Well, the new crash, which just started this week, saw the DOW drop about 954 points, or about 2.4 percent, by Monday afternoon. Of course, the situation is still developing, but given other global trends, there’s the possibility this could signal more of what’s to come, especially as we watch similar warning signs take place in the Chinese market. And here’s why: the recent meltdown was caused by bad job numbers going public. But recent data showed the Chinese Communist Party has also been covering up the real state of its job market. The economic trend we’re now watching could soon get much more serious. We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

A bizarre string of incidents is now taking place around the Paris Olympics, which stretches from drug-using athletes, to drug-laced hamburgers, and now into global conspiracies. This began as doping accusations against Chinese swimmers. Then it started to focus on the long history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) using drugs to help win the Games. And now, the CCP has come out with its counter-narrative. The culprit, they say, is hamburgers. And the CCP is now pushing a broader conspiracy of tainted food and hamburgers from the West carrying drugs that are making their athletes test positive for drugs. The bizarre string of incidents is now bringing attention to Chinese labs conducting the tests for doping scandals, whether these are reliable, and ironically even tying into domestic scandals in China around people losing trust in tainted food.

The significance of some of the recent diplomatic moves the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has made can’t be understated. It appears what the regime is trying to do right now is enact a plan for the so-called Eurasian Empire. It’s making key moves to create a new world order, so to speak, and to cut off the United States from its new system. The enacting of this new agenda was very public, but easy to miss. During the recent meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the CCP and member states announced their plans for a new Eurasian trade alliance, along with a new security bloc that can rival NATO. Immediately after, the CCP launched a diplomatic tour, shifting old policies to try to woo countries including India and the Philippines, which have until now been the focus of conflicts with the CCP. Alongside that, the regime has been carrying out similar moves throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. And this has likewise been accompanied by an increased military boldness against the United States. To understand what’s now taking place, we need to go into the concepts of Duginism and the proposed plans for a so-called Eurasian Empire. We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

Long-range bombers were intercepted near Alaska this week by the United States and Canada.

Economic warfare is back on the table, following the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) recent declaration of a new economic agenda. The regime wants to develop a high-tech economy and wants it to be domestic. This means cutting out American businesses, getting rid of American software, and making sure that everything the CCP uses is made in China. And this also means the CCP will now be looking into which foreign technologies it uses, finding ways to replicate those technologies, and then booting out the related Western companies. With this, it’s very likely that cyberattacks meant to feed the regime’s economic ambitions are about to go into overdrive. We’ll discuss in this episode of Crossroads.

In his book “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” author George Orwell imagined a futuristic “INGSOC” or “English Socialism,” where the totalitarian regime controlled its population with constant video surveillance and ideological control. His imagining of that system included televisions that watch civilians, information control, historical revisionism, and logical tricks to make people accept lies as truth. In China today, all of these systems are actually in place already under the Chinese Communist Party. But in a new communist push, the CCP is rolling out new forms of technology that will take surveillance and social control far beyond what Orwell could have imagined. We’ll discuss what’s now happening in China on this episode of Crossroads.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been enacting policies that seem to suggest that China is facing a food crisis. Problems around food supply have been brewing for years in China, with serious water pollution, natural disasters, and the dwindling amount of arable land. The CCP used to heavily rely on imports, but economic lockdowns and contentious global trade policies are making that more difficult. Now, the regime is enacting policies that have analysts wondering if the food problem is worse than it seems. We’ll discuss this issue in this episode of Crossroads.

There’s a new campaign taking place in China, where the CCP is trying to revive Marxism by merging it into Chinese culture. The campaign isn’t limited to just theory. It represents changes taking place throughout the country, from farms to the military, and from business to the CCP leadership.

We’ll discuss the changes currently taking place, and what they mean, on this episode of Crossroads.
