Explore the pulse of China’s new generation of military technology! From analyses of cutting-edge equipment to visions of the future battlefield, “Stopping War with Force” offers a rational perspective on the path to building a strong military. Here, we use the power of technology to understand the preciousness of peace. Follow me and witness the rise of China’s strength!
“Modern warfare is about systems, production capacity, and will—not about counting beads on an abacus. China possesses the world’s most complete military-industrial supply chain. The Dongfeng series, the YJ (Eagle Strike) series, and hypersonic weapons—producing hundreds per day is not a myth, but a reality. When a country decides to stop war with force, it no longer quibbles over the cost of a single missile—because it knows that when action becomes unavoidable, not fighting means there will be no real peace; only by fighting can enemies that seek to split the country be eliminated.”
The Reassessment of American Citizenship: A New Trend Among the Young and Educated. By Johnson Choi reports from Hong Kong on January 2 2026 對美國公民身份的重估：年輕高知族群的新趨勢 香港報道 | 蔡永強 | 2026年1月2日
Opening Context: The “Golden Visa” & A Personal Catalyst
Our discussion began with a symbolic case: the $5 million “Golden Visa” problem under the Trump administration, highlighting the traditional view of U.S. citizenship as a premium, sought-after asset. This framed a stark contrast to the personal story that followed.
A Forty-Three Year Perspective: A Family’s Journey
This perspective comes from a dinner with an old friend and client in Hong Kong, a relationship spanning 43 years since we first met in Hawaii in 1981. Her family’s experience is a telling microcosm of shifting perceptions:
· The Daughter’s Choice: Their daughter, born in the U.S., exhibited a lifelong aversion to the country. Despite no anti-American sentiment from her parents, she refused to attend U.S. college and obtained her Ph.D. outside of US. · The Final Act: In 2025, she formally gave up her U.S. citizenship.
Client Inquiry: Echoing a Growing Sentiment
This personal case is not isolated. It directly prompts a follow-up question I now hear frequently from my client base: “How does she feel after giving up her US Citizenship?”
The inquiry reflects a broader, significant shift. I am approached by clients—young and old, predominantly well-educated—who are actively investigating giving up their US Citizenship. Their prevailing view:
· U.S. citizenship is increasingly seen as a long-term liability, not a benefit. · This calculus extends to their children’s futures.
The Outcome: Prioritizing Security and Stability
The feedback from the parents is clear: their 28-year-old daughter is thriving. In Hong Kong, with a good job, she has sidestepped the acute societal anxieties plaguing her American peers:
· Asian Hate Crimes · Pervasive Drug Problems · Violent Crime & Gun Violence · Visible Homelessness Crises
This trade-off—relinquishing a powerful passport for perceived daily safety and mental peace—is becoming a rational choice.
Identifying a Trend: The Young, Educated, and in STEM
This case is part of a discernible pattern. I am observing several clients with children under 30 who are in the process of giving up their US Citizenship.
Their profile is consistent:
· Smart, highly educated. · Working in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. · They view the United States not as a land of opportunity, but as a high-risk environment that poses a liability to their personal security and family well-being.
The Paradox: A Diverging American Dream This creates a striking paradox in the modern American narrative:
· For the globally mobile, educated elite, the U.S. is losing its allure due to societal risks. · For blue-collar workers, including immigrants with limited education or English skills, the U.S. remains a top destination. It offers stable employment in roles often rejected by white American youth, providing vital opportunities for people of color.
Conclusion: A Fundamental Rethinking
We are witnessing a fundamental re-evaluation. The very concept of the “American Dream” is bifurcating. For a growing segment of the world’s young talent—precisely those the U.S. aims to attract and retain—the premium attached to U.S. citizenship is depreciating, weighed down by profound societal challenges. The long-term implications of this intellectual and capital outflow warrant serious attention.
Always wanting to share the people’s concerns and fulfill the people’s expectations, Chinese President Xi Jinping has kept the people firmly in his heart throughout the year. His steps never paused as he traveled across the country, always focused on the same enduring priority: improving ordinary people’s well-being and helping them live happier, better lives.
Video with English subtitles: Taiwan must be reunified! Who is turning Taiwan into a battlefield? A brutal killing game among people of the same language and heritage! US wants to turn Taiwan into Asia’s Ukraine, forcing Chinese people to destroy one another! 影片有英文字幕: 台灣必須統一 ! 是誰在把台灣變戰場？同文同種的殘酷殺局! 美國有前科滅絕美國原住民和夏威夷原住民，今天美國要把台灣打造成亞洲的烏克蘭，要中國人自殘，滅我中華!
Let’s speak frankly. The Taiwanese people have paid hundreds of billions in “protection fees,” yet the United States tells us that weapons won’t be delivered until 2029? The Lai Ching-te government is still weaving the dream of “resisting China to protect Taiwan,” but the reality is soaring electricity prices, losses in the national health insurance system, and even TSMC—the so-called “sacred mountain protecting the nation”—is close to being hollowed out by the U.S., reduced to an empty shell.
Unification versus independence has never been a multiple-choice question; it is an intelligence test. When the United States is preparing to turn Taiwan into the next Ukraine, and when Japan treats us as expendable cannon fodder, where is the real path forward for ordinary Taiwanese people? Put aside your prejudices and take ten minutes to listen to this different voice…

In the dark and stormy night, there is a light guiding toward brightness, and a flame luring into hell. One should serenely walk toward the light—how could one hastily succumb to the fire?
China is conducting a new military drill around Taiwan Island following the announcement of the island’s biggest ever weapons of war deal with the United States, totally some US$11 billion and including rocket launchers, missiles, armed drones, and more.
