Are East And West At An Impasse?
A Story Told Through The Chinese
Semiconductor Industry

Huawei, a leading mobile phone brand from China,
recently showcased its advanced Mate 60 Pro.
The global tech community was taken aback to
discover that this device is driven by a
7-nanometre (nm) processor. This revelation
has ignited discussions about the true current ...
This article aims to delve into the extent
that US sanctions have worked in halting
Chinese technonological progress, particularly
in the semiconductor industry, and the issues
that the Chinese are having in keeping
up with the other technology powerhouses.

It's Time We Privatised
The NHS

With median waiting times at thirteen weeks and
increasingly common horror stories of those with
serious illnesses having to wait months or even years
for treatment, it is evident that the NHS is in need
of reform. This stark reality was on full display ...

The Star-Spangled Banner Should Remain
Waving, Full Mast, O’er The Land Of The Free
And The Home Of The Brave

Americans are flag obsessed to the point of shocking
the self-effacing British conscience. Just ask CNN
contributor Laura Beers, who claims her English husband
detects “sinister overtones of interwar dictatorship”
in the way American students traditionally start the
day—by pledging allegiance to the flag ...
The US has a set of stringent flag codes
that members of government are supposed to adhere to,
yet many seem to be failing in their duty to do so.
The US flag is being flown at half mast far too often
and at times for the wrong reasons. The US flag has a
storied history which deserves respect, do state
governors still believe this is the case?

The Threat Of Rising
National Debt

National debts are rising worldwide with many of the
largest economies having debts in excess of 100% of
gross domestic product (GDP). Japan for example has
a debt-to-GDP ratio of 263%, whilst the US is at 123%.
National debt is defined as the total sum of money that ...

The Christian Case For
A British Style Monarchy

A few weeks ago, we commemorated one year
since the death of Queen Elizabeth II and
King Charles III’s accession to the throne.
This commemoration was juxtaposed with the
release of a YouGov opinion poll, which showed
that, among 18 to 24-year-olds, only 30% say ...
A plurality of young people are now in favour of
disbanding the monarchy and establishing
a British republic. What does this mean
for people of faith and as a result British
society more broadly? Is there a case to be
made for the continuation of the monarchy?

The Untapped
Conservative Demographic

Increasingly, the American right has been supportive
of an argument premised on restricting immigration
to the US. Whilst there are credible arguments for
restricting immigration, particularly illegal
immigration, I plan to illustrate that if conservatives
were more thoughtful and nuanced when addressing this ...
How can American conservatives make inroads with
immigrant communities, who often share many
of the same conservative principles? The
Republican party has not won the popular vote
since 2004, something needs to change, could
this be the answer?

A Short Exposé
On US-China Relations

The US and China have a long and rich history
that in recent years has meant an extraordinary

Affirmative Action, DEI And
What It All Means For The UK

In the US, since Regents of the University of
California v. Bakke in 1978 the use of race-based
affirmative action was permitted, under the
presumption that universities with students from
diverse racial backgrounds, encourages diversity
of thought and thus improves educational ...
This article seeks to weigh up the decision
in Students For Fair Admissions v. Harvard University
and what's its implications are to diversity, equity,
and inclusion (DEI) programmes across the US. It then
discusses whether this will have any effect on the
UK, as DEI programmes come under increasing scrutiny.

The Ultimate Pursuit of Knowledge:
Mathematics, Philosophy, and History

College is about the application of knowledge
in the pursuit of truth. Yet, this mission
has largely gone astray from campuses across
America, as college becomes increasingly about
credentials, politics, and incessant specialisation.
Our Founding Founders were not interested in ...

What Are We To Make Of The News
Of High Schools Withholding Notifications
Of National Merit Awards?

It is unjust that one should be penalised because
of a desire for absolute equality, which, make no
mistake is the ultimate goal of these initiatives.
It harms not only the person whose award was
withheld from them, but also those that the schools ...
