ABOUT THIS SERIES
WSJ Opinion Docs
Dramatic true stories from the recent past about important issues that deserve attention and examination.
Our system of government seems to be overrun by men and women who have destroyed any semblance of human freedom in their hearts in order to obtain and protect their jobs. Little by little their obedience is procured from those malignant actors whom they serve by demanding acts which violate their consciences until their consciences are dead and their characters are destroyed.
Let the sad character of David Morens serve as warning to both elected officials and administrative hires alike. There is nothing to be gained in the long run by being blindly obedient. In the end, it is the whistleblowers and the martyrs who are authentically free.
In the end, we are all obedient to someone. When in the service of evil, obedience destroys freedom. When in the service of good, obedience perfects freedom. Ultimately the fight is between free servants of the truth and those who are slaves to lies, and the fight for truth is always worth whatever it may cost us.
Susan Kokinda dissects Trump's China summit — the unprecedented CEO delegation, denuclearization talks with Xi, and Trump's rejection of Taiwan war-mongering. The British-cooked "Thucydides Trap" narrative is being dismantled by Trump's revival of the American System.
Sinicization on Display – President Trump Tours The Temple of Heaven with Chairman Xi Jinping
May 14, 2026 | Sundance |
Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping wanted to emphasize history and determination when he took President Donald Trump on a tour of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China. The temple was used by Chinese Emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties where the rulers would pray for abundant harvests, good weather and good fortune for the people of China. Apparently, Chairman Xi wanted to send a message that rulers of China follow a mandate that is in alignment with spiritual divinity.
It is a rather ironic view of stewardship considering that religion is subject to strict government regulation in communist China. The Chinese government officially recognizes five religions: Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, and Daoism; however, the practice of each religion must follow communist rules and be in alignment with all CCP dictates. Within China, this is known as “sinicization,” a requirement that all religious groups must adapt their beliefs and practices to align with Chinese culture and the Communist Party’s ideology.
The Temple of Heaven is near Tiananmen Square, and the most famous temple in Beijing. Originally built along with the Forbidden City in the early 1400s the temple is also near the royal palace that President Trump and Chairman Xi toured with their spouses in 2017. Video Below:
