In a world saturated with noise and propaganda, understanding the strategic direction of China is no longer optional—it is a global necessity. Yet, clear, objective analysis remains remarkably scarce.
That is why I created my official YouTube channel, “China Decoded with Aric Chen,” to serve as your intelligence briefing.
My mission is to cut through the complexity, providing data-driven, evidence-based analysis that empowers you to understand the power dynamics shaping one of the 21st century’s most consequential nations.
My Experience: A 360-Degree Perspective
I’m Aric Chen. My approach to analysis is built on a foundation of over 18 years in the field, viewing events from every critical angle:
- From the front lines as a correspondent, I gathered the facts on the ground.
- From the anchor desk as a public voice, I learned to distill complex issues for a global audience.
- From the editor’s chair, I made the final calls on which international stories mattered most and why.
This comprehensive experience now informs my work in providing strategic foresight for the international policy community, helping leaders and organizations navigate a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape.
Areas of Focus
Behind the slogans, beyond the surface. My analysis on the China Decoded platform centers on three core pillars:
1. Leadership & Power Dynamics
- In-depth analysis of the structures, key players, and internal logic that drive decision-making in Beijing. We go beyond the headlines to explore the “why” behind the “what.”
2. Foreign Policy & Global Influence
- Objective breakdowns of China’s diplomatic, economic, and military strategies on the world stage, from the Belt and Road Initiative to its role in international institutions.
3. Geopolitical & Economic Strategy
- Connecting the dots between events in Asia and their global consequences. I provide the strategic context necessary to understand long-term trends and anticipate what might come next.
