Terri Wu and I discuss why so many Americans misperceive the malign intentions of the Chinese Communist Party. China is governed by a totalitarian Leninist-Legalist regime, bent on hegemony, which oppresses its own citizens and threatens war. @TerriWuEpoch
1/3 Why does America keep getting China wrong? It’s not naivety. It’s not ignorance. It's a failure of language. Washington and other Western institutions describe China as AUTHORITARIAN rather than TOTALITARIAN. Authoritarian regimes can democratize. South Korea did. Taiwan did. The Philippines did. Totalitarian ones don't. This shift in language may be one of the most consequential propaganda victories the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ever pulled off.

My thoughts @DailyCaller on prospects for Taiwan invasion within 5 years: Yes, this is peak window for a Taiwan invasion. No, I don't think China pulls the trigger. Invading Taiwan is a primary purpose of PRC military buildup, but it does not mean an invasion is imminent.

“Tozzi doesn’t see a change in the nature of the U.S.-China [competitive] relationship: ‘It’s more than just economic or strategic. It’s systemic.…China wants to supplant the United States as the preeminent global power. The president understands that.’” thewirechina.com/2026/05/24/…

Thanks @ChanelRion @OANN for hosting me to discuss the recent market drop. Hormuz dependence is catching up with China despite oil stockpiling, renewables and hypocritical coal burning.
CAN CHINESE CITIZENS TRUST THEIR STOCK MARKET AFTER A 2% STOCK MARKET DROP? Director of the China Policy Initiative at the America First Policy Institute, @Adam_Savit, breaks down whether or not the recent 2% decline will be detrimental to Chinese citizens.

President Trump enters the Trump-Xi Summit from a position of strength, focused on protecting American workers, defending national security, and confronting decades of unfair trade practices by the CCP. Photo ops may dominate the headlines, but the real test will be delivering results that put America First and hold China accountable.

America’s farmland is NOT for sale to our adversaries. The House passed legislation to draw that line. Food security is national security. Period! Read more from @kiptom and @Adam_Savit ⤵️

Louisiana should go hard against Chinese Communist Party interference at its universities. Thanks to @jadambass for sponsoring SB 399, and thanks to the LA House Education Committee for unanimously advancing the bill yesterday.

When a Chinese company reaches a certain size, CCP members are on the board. @SmithfieldFoods is the biggest CCP ag landowner in the US, acquired by Hong Kong's WH Group in 2013 before we fully understood the threat. A "private" company controlled by Beijing. @A1Policy

China doesn’t need to invade if it can buy up the right land around the U.S. military sites. With @Adam_Savit youtu.be/IqvwdrTdRPI

Thank you @ChinaSelect for inviting me to testify on this important topic. PRC distillation (read: industrial-scale theft) of our AI companies' best models is happening, and it's fueling China's AI ecosystem. But beyond that, we also need to seriously address the security of other layers of the software stack. Even supposing we can counter distillation, our model weights can still be stolen, and this is a very difficult problem to address from our current position. Even if we can reliably protect our model weights (a tall order!), our advanced models' data could still be poisoned, effectively making our agentic systems sleeper agents for the CCP. AFPI will soon release more research on securing our software stack from theft and sabotage. Stay tuned.
The CCP is pursuing AI dominance by 2030. And when it cannot compete fairly, it steals. @YusufSMahmood from @A1Policy explains: "We are not prepared to secure our AI systems. If we decided tomorrow that it was a top national security priority to prevent the CCP from stealing our most capable AI software, we would face extraordinary challenges. We're starting from a vulnerable position. The CCP seeks full AI domination by 2030, and it lacks the capital and talent to win fairly, so it steals. These aren't theoretical harms right now. Chinese AI, developed from stolen American technology, is helping Iran target American warfighters."

Yesterday, I joined 21 fellow Indiana House Representatives in urging @realDonaldTrump and @SecretaryRollins to prioritize American majority ownership of Smithfield Foods. Food security is national security. We must protect our pork industry, support Hoosier farmers, and reduce foreign control over critical U.S. food supply chains. 🇺🇸 @StateShieldUSA @Michael7ucci @Jim_Banks @LenczyckiPhilip @Adam_Savit @A1Policy

When AFPI brings the facts, the CCP brings the goons. AFPI’s @Adam_Savit was followed out of an Ohio Statehouse hearing room yesterday and confronted by those opposed to his testimony on Ohio HB1 to restrict Chinese Communist Party access to land acquisitions near sensitive sites. Keeping America safe requires leadership. Ohioans know this and expect as much from their leaders - AFPI will stand resolute and continue to support them with the facts. americafirstpolicy.com/issue…
