China’s “Wolf Warrior” diplomacy is prompting a global backlash—what we need now is unity.

My father, the Oxford philosopher JR Lucas, was an inspirational and indefatigable campaigner for the captive nations. This is my tribute to him.

The Chinese Communist Party is a menace. So be grateful – it is waking up the West.

Time is running out to stop China’s global takeover.

The pandemic has punctured our Chinese dreams. Forget prosperity bringing democracy—Beijing’s grip is tightening at home and abroad. Time to find a strategy.

The state’s job is to manage the risks that the rest of us cannot bear. Protecting us from crime and external aggression are the core ones—but as we are realising now, public health is another.

The pandemic has not stopped geopolitical trends. Indeed it may have accelerated them. The coronavirus is giving the communist regime in Beijing a chance to gain a decisive advantage.

For many people in the West, the shortages and inconveniences caused by the pandemic are unlike anything they’ve experienced. But for those of us who lived behind the Iron Curtain, they are oddly familiar.

As the pandemic forces unprecedented changes in our lives, many people are working from home—or trying to. But a bit of self-discipline can send your productivity soaring.

The coronavirus is not just a public health crisis. It tests the cohesion of our alliances, and our societies.
