Suspect in North Carolina Shooting Charged With Murder | China In Focus​



A graduate student was charged with the murder of his professor after a fatal shooting on a North Carolina college campus. What led to the attack? Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo's trip to China is coming to an end. She says she didn't expect to resolve major issues ahead of the visit, but it seems something may have changed her tune. A new pact between the United States and the Pacific is granting special powers to American ships in the highly contested region. A 19-year-old activist shares his story, trapped in a Chinese psychiatric hospital after being labeled mentally ill for an anti-Chinese regime stance.

China Offers to Fund Silicon Valley Dam | China In Focus​



China is proposing a deal to fund a nearly $3 billion dam project, located in Silicon Valley's largest water district. What's motivating the investment? Land grabs, cyber malware, and spies: a communist threat is operating right under our noses, and it's known as the Chinese Communist Party. Unlike dangers posed by a real war, Beijing's "weapon" doesn't take the form of a swift invasion, but rather, a long-term infiltration. Just how deep does the rabbit hole go?

Trump Says “Do Not Lose Hope” In Face of Legal Attacks | Crossroads​



Former President Donald Trump issued a video where he urges supporters to not lose hope. In it, he hints at a return to justice. And as this takes place, news is spreading that conservatives have a plan for the next administration, known as “Project 2025.” Meanwhile, scuffles recently broke out between protesters and counterprotesters in New York over the city’s sanctuary city policies, which have been using taxpayer dollars to give free housing and other benefits to illegal immigrants. And as illegal immigrants now live better than many New Yorkers, people are getting fed up. Among the protest leaders was Curtis Sliwa, head of the Guardian Angels. He joins us now. And in other news, far-left organizations with ties to the Chinese Communist Party played key roles in the 2020 elections. Some of these took credit for the victories of President Joe Biden in crucial districts. To learn more about these organizations and their actions, we speak now with Trevor Loudon. He’s an Epoch Times contributor and author of the book, “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress.”

iPhone Partially Banned in China, Share Price Falls | China In Focus​



From a new counter-intelligence law to policies targeting foreign firms through fines and raids, how determined is China to become self-sufficient? As China separates itself from the West, can Beijing keep its economy stable? And what would the detangling really cost?

'Wage Hunting': Unpaid Workers Protest Across China | China In Focus​



On banners, in the streets, and through cyberspace: people in China are speaking out. For a regime constantly flaunting its "over 90% approval rate," what does dissent really look like in China—from angry flood victims smashing the walls of state buildings, to a seven-year high in Chinese factory strikes? Faith verses police: a standoff between residents and officers in a Chinese Muslim town. What does the apparent unrest signify for China's future?

China's ‘Missing’ Defense Minister Reportedly Under Investigation | China In Focus​



In Beijing's latest purge of top-tier defense officials, General Li Shangfu is the most senior leader to be "disappeared" inside China. What does the leadership shake-up mean for the Communist Party? Plus, a clue about why hints of China's future war could be more than just talk.

China Sends Record Number of Jets Near Taiwan | China In Focus​



Over a hundred warplanes in 24 hours—a record-breaking count as Beijing flexes its military might on Taiwan. At the same time, China has an offer for the Taiwanese people. Will the island take the bait for a "peaceful reunification" instead of possible war? "Strategic ambiguity" versus "strategic clarity": what path would former President Donald Trump choose if elected to deal with Beijing's threat of war? A top Chinese official was ousted from his post as foreign minister and is now under a national security investigation. What sparked it all? An extramarital affair during his time as ambassador to Washington. A bigger threat than COVID-19? We take a look at what's putting China's $500 billion wedding industry at risk. And Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence just described China as an "evil empire" in the making.

German Foreign Minister Calls China's Xi 'Dictator' Months After Biden Used the Term​



A powerful buzzword reappears: "dictator." The German foreign minister's remark follows a similar comment from U.S. President Joe Biden in June—both of them using the term to describe Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping. Leadership for life, a one-party system, and mass censorship? Is the dictator description accurate?
