[2018-October-8]
On Thursday at the Hudson Institute in Washington D.C., United States Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech attacking China's domestic and foreign policies.

"This is nothing but hearsay… it is creating something out of thin air."

[2018-September-29]
Over the past two days, the atmosphere at the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York was fierce.
