In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu reviews the White House’s declaration of the week of November 1–7 as “Anti-Communism Week,” and the implications it has for opposing Communist ideology and upholding America’s republican values. He then covers the recent conviction of Joshua Wong for retroactive violations of Hong Kong’s Chinese Communist Party–imposed draconian national security law, and his subsequent sentencing to ten more years in prison. Miles covers how autonomous democratic rule has fallen in Hong Kong to the CCP’s authoritarianism. Lastly, he discusses the recent discovery of an artillery shell inside a shipping container delivered to Papua New Guinea, and how this fits into a larger global trend of the proliferation of Chinese arms being distributed to nefarious and malign actors worldwide.
