Fast upon the heels of the news that Chinese rights activist, Chen Guangcheng was given the bum's rush by the U.S. Embassy and State Department comes the horrifying report that Chinese firms have been producing and exporting virility pills made from human fetuses. There's a gruesome...

General Motors announced this week that it will start building the Cadillac XTS, CTS and ATX in China in an attempt to keep up with the insatiable demand for luxury consumption by that nation's nominally Marxist elite. It seems that Communist Party princelings and their crony capitalist clients...

From the moment I heard the outrageous claims made by Mike Daisey against Foxconn, Apple's manufacturing partner in China, on the January 6 episode of This American Life, I figured the fellow as an entertainer not a journalist; I just never expected how truly pathetic he would turn...

While Nightline's Bill Weir is busy patting himself on the back for being the first to publicly report from inside Apple's iSweatShop in Shenzhen, China, he really needs to understand just how bad he blew that story. Memo to Bill and Nightline:

You cannot really talk about...

Now that it's over, it seems to me that the most interesting thing about the GOP primary in Florida was seeing America's beleaguered space program getting some political attention. Predictably, Newt Gingrich's bold visions of moon bases and resurgent American daring-do in space were viewed like a...

When Congress forced the Obama administration to stop dithering on its decision to support the Keystone XL Pipeline, it revealed a White House's determined to cleave to ideology in the face of all common sense.

The Pipeline extension would bring the output of messy Canadian oil sands...

There were a lot of similarities between Jon Huntsman and Mitt Romney. The two moderate Republicans were not just the only Mormon candidates on the ballot, but they often seemed to be the only adults in the room at the Republican debates. Immediately after the rumors of his withdrawal from...

The Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act, informally known as the Currency Bill, received a great deal of attention in the media a few weeks back. Passed by the Senate, the bill was a solid piece of legislation aimed squarely at the most destructive of China's many abusive trade policies....

Last week, I took a film crew down to the Occupy Wall Street site in New York City. I'm working on a documentary about the impact of China on the American economy; and I wanted to find out just how many of the protesters could connect the dots between the...

America's official unemployment rate remains stubbornly near 10%, the real unemployment rate is likely well north of 20% and neither the president nor any of the major presidential challengers appear to understand this essential truth: Our malaise is NOT simply a short term cyclical problem amenable to (even) more profligate...

On September 16, Carl Levin joined fellow Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow in calling for an investigation into the strong-arm tactics China uses to force American firms into technology transfers. Levin, a Democrat, has often been less than forceful in dealing with China. The Senator supported permanent Most Favored...

In 1981 I was the long haired, 18-year-old co-founder of a video game startup exhibiting our wares at the West Coast Computer Faire in San Francisco. The geek crowd's big social objective for the weekend was to impress "Woz", the legendary designer of the Apple II computer that made our...

Any tourist standing on Shanghai's waterfront and gazing across at the garish Pudong skyline sees the visible manifestation of American wealth moving to China and every businessperson on the streets of Shenzhen knows that the manufacturing export business built it.

Yet, a recent "economic letter" from the...

China's first aircraft carrier recently slipped from its berth with little fan fare. The start of sea trials of the 1,000 foot long flattop gained little media attention in an America that is, as usual, too caught up in its own angst to notice external threats. While financial...

Last week's jobs report shows unemployment dipping to a slightly less dismal 9.1%. However, the participation rate, which measures the percentage of Americans trying to work fell to 63.9%, the lowest level since 1983 -- a time when the number was structurally lower because many women had not...
