More and more citizens in China take to the streets to protest a repressive regime and its zero-Covid policy

Critics are torching the White House’s routine response to the ongoing widespread protests happening in China.

As the Chinese communist party continues with its hardline Covid lockdowns—Chinese citizens are rising up, venting their frustrations and demanding freedom.

Following these rare protests breaking out across China over the strict zero-Covid policy— the White House National Security Council Spokesperson released a statement saying again on Wednesday that, “everyone has the right to peacefully protest in the United States and around the world. This includes in the People’s Republic of China.”

Critic after critic after critic are calling out the administration for what they believe is a muted reaction labeling the response from the White House as “pathetic” and “cowardice.”

U.S. President Joe Biden has said absolutely nothing about this issue. Now, many including lawmakers are urging him to break his silence and voice support take a harder stance with China.

Many China experts say these protests are a real threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s rule prompting concern that he could call for and carry out a bloody or brutal crackdown much like 1989’s Tiananmen Square.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
