Guests - Ava Chen, Janet Edwards, JL Wittenbraker
In a world where threats to freedom often hide in plain sight, understanding the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) long-game strategies is more critical than ever. On this week's China Watch Wednesday, co-host Ava Chen from the New Federal State of China joined me to unpack alarming developments in CCP influence operations—and how they're colliding with shifting global power dynamics.
Shifting to domestic threats, Jan Edwards joined from Orlando en route to Arizona to discuss the escalating dangers facing children online. "This year alone, 36 boys have committed suicide due to sextortion," Edwards revealed. "Predators exploit kids' isolation—especially post-pandemic."
Locally, JL Wittenbraker attended Tuesday's Tucson City Council meeting and reported on a series of approved tax and fee increases.
