And a Chinese government plan to boost “masculinity”

That and more on this week's China news headlines

Welcome to China Uncensored, I'm Chris Chappell.

We are in a Cold War with the Chinese Communist Party. 

And what's a cold war without the threat of nuclear annihilation?

A nuclear war with China is a “real possibility”.

That's according to the head of U.S. Strategic Command Admiral Charles Richard.

He wrote his rather grim summary in this month's issue of "Proceedings," the U.S. Naval Institute's

“There is a real possibility that a regional crisis with Russia or China could escalate

quickly to a conflict involving nuclear weapons, if they perceived a conventional loss would

“Consequently, the U.S. military must shift its principal assumption from 'nuclear employment

is not possible' to 'nuclear employment is a very real possibility.'”

Which is why I'm happy to announce a new company I'm starting called Vault-Tec Industries!

We'll build for you the absolute highest quality fallout shelters, guaranteed not to

be secret horrific sociological experiments!

But you shouldn't worry too much about Cold War 2.

Because first you should worry about proxy wars!

Once again, China has sent military planes into Taiwan's airspace.

But this time, a US military aircraft joined as well.

And so China took the opportunity to remind everyone that Taiwan independence means war.

Obviously, Taiwan is already an independent country.

China's not flying provocative warplanes into their own airspace.

So how will the Biden Administration handle an increasingly aggressive Chinese Communist

A State Department spokesman says Biden wants to be lockstep with America's allies on

Hopefully the spokesman is referring to being lockstep with Taiwan on defense—not lockstep

with our European allies on their China investment deal.

She's Biden's pick for Commerce Secretary.

She's spoken about protecting US telecom networks from Chinese companies.

But in her nomination speech, she didn't say whether or not the Biden administration

would keep Chinese telecom Huawei on a blacklist.

The US has been calling Huawei a national security threat since the Obama Administration.

But the Trump Administration went further by actually putting Huawei on a trade blacklist.

Now, House Republicans, led by Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs

Committee, want to delay Raimondo's confirmation, until the administration makes its Huawei

“The fact that the Biden Administration has still refused to commit to keeping Huawei

on the Department of Commerce's Entity List is incredibly alarming and dangerous.”

So they want to, “place a hold on Ms. Raimondo's confirmation until the Biden Administration

clarifies their intentions for Huawei and on export control policies for a country that

is carrying out genocide and threatening our national security.”

It is kind of hard to say I really want to do business with a country that's committing

Of course, not all countries have problems doing business with those committing genocide.

Myanmar has billions of dollars of investment deals going with the Chinese Communist regime.

Myanmar also had a military coup this week. 

China has blocked the UN from condemning the coup.

And if the US isn't careful, it could push Myanmar closer to China

For more on the Myanmar Coup, and what it means for the Biden Administration's attempts

to deal with China, check out yesterday's episode on America Uncovered.

According to Reuters, Chinese hackers may have exploited a bug in SolarWinds software

“The software flaw exploited by the suspected Chinese group is separate from the one the

United States has accused Russian government operatives of using,” to compromise sensitive

Two hostile authoritarian regimes were able to separately break into SolarWinds?

I'd actually feel better if they had to work together to crack it. 

Like some kind of terrible sequel to Hackers where Russia is played by Steven Seagal and

Which is now pretty much anyone in Hong Kong looking to escape the long arm of Beijing. 

The new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has suggested the US could give them sanctuary.

In an interview with MSNBC, Blinken said, “We see people who are, again, in Hong Kong

standing up for their own rights, the rights that they felt were guaranteed to them. 

And if… they're the victims of repression from Chinese authorities, we should do something

Back in December, there was a bill that would grant temporary refuge to Hong Kongers.

It unanimously passed in the House, but was blocked in the Senate by...Ted Cruz.

He worried there weren't safeguards in place to prevent Chinese spies from sneaking in

Meanwhile, the UK is offering Hong Kong residents a route to citizenship.

Hong Kong residents can apply for a British National Overseas passport, or BNO.

In response, China said it would no longer recognize BNOs.

Speaking of the UK, the UK has revoked the license of Chinese state-owned broadcaster

CGTN, which is the English version of China Central Television.

It comes after the media regulator Ofcom “concluded that the news channel was ultimately controlled

by the ruling Communist Party of China.”

It also comes after Ofcom ruled that “CGTN repeatedly breached impartiality standards

with its coverage of protests last year in Hong Kong.”

And it *also* comes after a complaint by Peter Humphrey, a UK citizen who was forced to give

CGTN then broadcast that forced confession on its channel in the UK, which was illegal.

We had Humphrey on our podcast a few months ago.
