A tiny island the size of Maryland is now America’s 4th largest trading partner.
Because it’s freer than almost any country on Earth. (Ranked 5th freest economy globally by Heritage). So the CCP can’t allow that success story to exist.
It's proof that Chinese people can thrive and prosper in a free democracy.
The CCP has already destroyed Hong Kong, and it's coming for Taiwan next.
This is the same regime that blood-tests and tissue-types its own citizens to maintain a living database of prisoners—who are killed to order for their organs.
My new book "Killed to Order" reveals how this darkness has spread beyond China's borders, making doctors and institutions complicit from Taiwan to America.
A top Taiwanese surgeon just had his license revoked for brokering transplants in China.
I'll be speaking at FreedomFest in Las Vegas on July 10th at 10AM to break all this down. I'd love to see you there.

37 years after the Tiananmen Square massacre, the Chinese Communist Party still fears the memory of that night, because it reveals who they truly are.
On June 4 at the Tiananmen Memorial in Washington, DC, I spoke about the slaughter that should have changed everything, the decades of quiet accommodation that followed, and why standing with those who still resist the regime’s demand for total (actual or performative) submission is more urgent than ever.
I also highlighted a remarkable new series of never-before-seen photographs from June 4, 1989, published today on the front page of The Epoch Times. Please take a moment to view them (the link is in the thread below!)
Here are my full remarks 37 years after the Tiananmen Square massacre, at the Victims of Communism (@VoCommunism) Memorial, Washington, DC, June 4, 2026:
Good evening, everybody.
My name is Jan Jekielek. I'm the senior editor at the @EpochTimes and author of a book titled Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary. And this nature is something that we haven't gotten right, and we should have when Tiananmen Square happened, when the massacre happened.
So, tonight we remember the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre, the students, the workers, and the ordinary citizens murdered on June 4, 1989 for daring to imagine a freer China.
On the front page of The Epoch Times today we are publishing a whole series of never-before-seen photos that were contributed to us recently. They were taken by a state media photographer 37 years ago. These are very powerful images. I encourage you to check it out. The person who put these together, Eva Fu (@EvaSailEast), she's actually here doing an article on this event, so I hope you get a chance to speak with her later today.
It's a striking historical fact that the same day, June 4, 1989, Poland held its first semi-free parliamentary election since the communist era. Solidarity won a landslide victory, and hope began to spread across Eastern Europe, and the Berlin Wall fell. In Poland, people chose freedom, but in China, the regime chose slaughter.
The massacre itself was monstrous, but hope died twice that year, first in the blood of the streets of Beijing, and again when the United States responded not with sustained accountability but with quiet accommodation.
Just weeks after the killings, the administration at the time secretly dispatched the National Security Advisor and the Deputy Secretary of State to Beijing. Their mission was to signal to the Chinese leadership that America would ride out the storm of public outrage and work to restore the strategic relationship. Most Americans never knew about this back-channel.
For decades, we pursued a policy of engagement, telling ourselves the comforting story that trade and money would change China, that economic integration would liberalize the regime and make it a responsible stakeholder. The opposite happened: The Chinese Communist Party changed us.
It turned us, it turned our openness into vulnerability. It captured influence in our institutions. It made us economically dependent on a system built on lies, on repression, and on brutality.
And then, in the year 2000 the regime launched something even darker, a large-scale industrialized forced organ harvesting industry built on the bodies of Falun Gong practitioners, which they had started persecuting the year before.
The crime rested on two pillars, very vicious dehumanizing propaganda, and also a vast system of mass arbitrary detention that eventually ended up serving as the source of the organs.
For 14 or 15 years, the world largely turned away, and emboldened by this, the regime expanded the same machinery of dehumanization and mass incarceration to the Uyghur people, and perhaps even to others.
This is why the memory of Tiananmen remains so urgent. The Chinese Communist Party has never abandoned its core demand, total submission, or at least the appearance of it. Anyone who refuses, whether through faith, through conscience, or simple human dignity, becomes a target.
That is why we must stand with those who still resist:
• Falun Gong practitioners who continue to practice and speak the truth,
• and the millions who have joined the Quit the CCP or the @TuidangMovement to renounce their ties to the communist party, the youth league and the young pioneers,
• the white paper protesters of 2022 including brave young people like Zhang Junjie who stood alone in Beijing holding a blank sheet of paper a silent indictment of censorship and tyranny and paid a terrible price,
• Christians worshiping in underground churches,
• Tibetans demanding their culture and faith,
• and of course Uyghurs and Kazakhs enduring camps and surveillance,
• and every individual across China who chooses conscience over performative or actual loyalty.
Their courage is living proof that the spirit the regime tried to crush in 1989 is not dead today.
We are finally beginning to move in the right direction, I think, recognizing the true nature of the threat and starting to correct the mistakes of all-out engagement, but we must go further by remembering Tiananmen and standing firmly with all those who resist. We honor the dead and keep the flame of hope alive.
Thank you.

@garrytan Thank you, Garry. At the same time, these legacy media never defend me or even interview me, a Chinese American who is running for Congress as a Republican in NH02. It is always about politics, not about skin color.
A California mayor just pled guilty to being a literal foreign agent of the Chinese government. She ran a CCP propaganda website disguised as local news.
NBC's angle? The real problem is that reporting on it "reignited fears of anti-Asian discrimination."
As an Asian American: accurately reporting that a foreign agent infiltrated local government is not anti-Asian. Framing it that way to suppress the story is.
Using "anti-Asian bias" as a shield to protect an actual CCP agent from scrutiny is the most anti-Asian thing I can think of. It implies that Chinese Americans are so fragile, or so suspect, that we can't handle the truth about foreign espionage in our own communities.
We can handle it. We're the ones most harmed by it.

After watching @ShenYun performance in MA, I was interviewed by @NTDNews.
I got emotional when talking about the voiceless who are deprived of freedom & locked up in dark prisons in China.
I hope @POTUS@SecRubio will bring this up on their trip to PRC & free Jimmy Lai!
FIRST ON FOX: An alliance of far-left activist groups is teaming up with Democratic-linked organizations to drive a huge wave of protests across the country today.
The network is massive—about 600 groups with $2 billion in revenue—and some key players are reportedly backed by a China-linked billionaire, which is raising eyebrows as protesters push a 'red-blue' alliance.
It’s all tied to 'May Day', a major day for socialist and communist movements, with around 3,000 events planned nationwide and calls for people to skip work and school in an effort to advance what critics describe as an anti-American agenda.

Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.
Brilliant idea by @POTUS!
Instead of pouring billions into BIG INSURANCE, he’s calling to send it directly to Americans, so they can choose for their families.
What will Democrats in Congress say? Will they side with insurance companies or the people?
