The Specter met Taiwanese journalist Angelica Oung in Taipei, amid the severe political crisis shaking the island. The Western narrative pushes the idea that everyone in Taiwan opposes unity with the mainland. Oung made clear to us that this is far from reality. "American influence in Taiwan means that the elite are not aligned with Taiwan's interests," Oung told The Specter. The ruling DPP is now facing one of its worst crises yet. Mass protests are rocking the island, the largest in years, demanding the party step down. The Specter was on the ground as 200,000 people took to the streets. A severe food safety scandal was the trigger, but deeper questions, above all cross-strait relations, sit at the heart of people's anger. This snippet is only the beginning. More from our meeting with Angelica Oung is coming. Follow us so you don't miss it.".

Fidel always firmly maintained his support for China and believed that the Communist Party was genuinely and capably pursuing revolutionary socialism.

The West chose paper. China chose production. In this reaction, we break down a rare moment of economic honesty as economist Steve Keen explains to Tom Bilyeu exactly why the West is falling behind. While Western politicians are distracted by culture wars and financial engineering, China is being run by a meritocracy of engineers focused on one thing: building the physical future. We dive into the data that proves this isn't just about "cheap labor" anymore—it’s about a structural advantage that the US financial sector simply can't compete with. Key moments we cover: The Financialization Trap: Why trading "paper wealth" for interest has hollowed out the American middle class. The Engineer’s Advantage: Why a leadership full of engineers produces a 50-year plan while lawyers only produce a 4-year election cycle. Physical Gold vs. Digital Promises: China’s aggressive move to move away from "paper gold" and secure hard assets. The Infrastructure Miracle: Comparing the crumbling US "C-minus" infrastructure to China’s 2026 record-breaking bridge projects. Safety Irony: The reality check on why Westerners fear visiting China while facing more danger in their own major cities.
