China Went After Japan’s Takaichi — And It Blew Up in Xi’s Face. China Tried to Interfere in Japan’s Election and It Backfired Hard.
The Xi Jinping Curse: Everyone Beijing Attacks Ends Up Winning.
Sanae Takaichi was supposed to be finished.
Beijing launched smear campaigns, diplomatic pressure, and economic intimidation to weaken her leadership. Instead, it unified Japan — and turned Takaichi into the country’s strongest prime minister in decades.
In this video, I break down how Xi Jinping’s pressure strategy backfired, why Chinese bullying doesn’t scare Japan, and how national security, markets, and voters all moved in the same direction. From the snap election to soaring approval ratings and record-breaking market confidence, this is a case study in how Beijing keeps picking the wrong side — and losing.44
NEW: The family of fallen Army Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis receives a call from President Trump, telling them their son would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor.
Ollis was killed in Afghanistan in 2013 when he shielded a Polish army officer from a su*cide bomber.
Ollis saved the life of Karol Cierpica, who became the father of a baby boy shortly after.
Cierpica named the boy 'Michael' in honor of Michael Ollis.
"Your son is gonna get the highest honor that you can have. There's no higher honor than the Congressional Medal of Honor," Trump said on the call.

.@PressSec: "It's very ironic and, frankly, sad to see celebrities who live in gated communities with private security, with millions of dollars to spend protecting themselves, trying to just demonize law enforcement public servants who work for the U.S. government to enforce our nation's laws.
You didn't hear this same type of uproar from celebrities in Hollywood when the previous Administration allowed an invasion of our nation's borders, and allowed innocent women and girls like Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley to be killed and raped and murdered at the hands of people who should've never been in our country in the first place."
