As a small business owner, she said, the party’s fiscal conservatism and small government ethos resonated with her. But last May, when Gov.

"Prosperity shouldn't be just for Asians," Xi asserted. "It should be for everyone. Since a majority of the global population is Asian, it should be Asians who lead the world to a universal prosperity. China is the strongest Asian power and...

If you are a parent, you grew up in a “benighted” period when people were assessed and given opportunities on the basis of merit consisting of achievements such as grades, test scores, prizes, etc. That archaic period is now over.

Children of the wrong race, gender, and sexual preference are now often excluded, not admitted to university, not funded, hired, appointed or otherwise benefitted. In the past, minorities—blacks, indigenous natives, Hispanics, Asians, Jews—were discriminated against. Today, it is the majority that is discriminated against, as...
