A free, democratic and sovereign Taiwan is a model and inspiration for all Chinese people. And the defense of Taiwan is essential for us to end and roll back the long march of Chinese communism around the world.

The contest with the People’s Republic of China is ideological at its root and is winnable only if the free world understands the nature of a Leninist regime and acts accordingly.

A free and sovereign Taiwan serves as a beacon of light for China and Asia. The very essence of freedom is manifested when citizens come together of their own volition in common purpose.

Over the past several weeks, President Donald Trump has overtly condemned communism, a subject that had been largely absent from mainstream political discourse for decades.

President Donald Trump reiterated his warnings about communism during the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8, saying it’s taking root in the United States and around the world.

Understanding China requires more than measuring its military strength, economic growth, or geopolitical ambitions. It requires understanding how the Chinese Communist Party—and the Chinese people shaped by its educational, cultural, and political institutions—see themselves, their history, and the world around them. Too often, Western analysis begins with Western assumptions, producing strategic blind spots that continue to shape policy today.

For decades, Western policymakers assumed that economic integration would encourage China to become a responsible stakeholder in the international order. In this presentation, Gerard Willis examines why that expectation failed, arguing that the Chinese Communist Party's strategic ambitions can only be understood by examining the ideological framework that shapes its long-term objectives. His analysis explores China's evolution from participant in the international system to a power seeking to reshape that system on its own terms.

This address by Frank Kaufmann, Director of the International Freedom Alliance, was presented during the Settlement Project's "250 Years—What's Next? The Just Cause of Realizing America's Destiny" dinner in Southern California on May 31, 2026. The gathering brought together community leaders and citizens to reflect on America's history, its defining ideals, and the responsibilities we gratefully carry as citizens.

Communism did not end with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Rather, the Chinese Communist Party studied the failures of Soviet communism, rejected ideological liberalization, and built a new model of centralized control. This essay argues that understanding that evolution—and the spiritual and ideological challenges it presents—is essential for those committed to defending freedom in the twenty-first century.

All Zhang Tianliang’s faith in the Communist Party crumbled right there, in a large state auditorium in Beijing.

They had all been waiting there, hundreds of them, shut inside since that sweltering morning in July 1999, bewildered.

It was the start of a bloody persecution, the likes of which hadn’t been since the Cultural Revolution, although no one knew at the time.
