No, his status was too low.
You needed some political standing to listed in Epstein's files, whether it was through involvement in his perverse hobbies or being discriminated against by him.
Gordon Chang would bring no value to Epstein. What can he do for him? Spew more BS about China on Fox News? He already does this without coercion.
So that's what Modi gets for dancing in front of Trump?
Uhh…Japan has always been quite good with long range cruise missiles and anti ship missiles. Now they are rapidly expanding their stockpile and range even without Article 9.
No doubt the PLA has improved dramatically in the last 30 years in terms of capabilities. But it is also true that there remains doubt whether China could defeat combined US and Allies forces without suffering so great that the entire developmental path (along with political stability) of China could be jeopardised. If Zhang was removed due hesitance to fight the US, there remains such doubt of victory even among the PLA’s own ranks. Then of course, you got pro-west elites (finically elites, businessmen depend on exports, liberal intellectuals/lawyers, feminists, white worshippers, minorities like Tibetans and Uighurs, my city of HK, etc.) who would take every opportunity to weaken the Party State apparatus. So when China enters into a war, significant amount of government resources would have to be deployed to deal with domestic enemies as well.
Just offering an alternative perspective.

man, the anti China shills really f’d themsleves from the last trump admin.
Bloomberg reports that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer may resign in the coming days due to the successive implicating of his cabinet in the Epstein scandal.
I still believe the release of the Epstein document was a controlled explosion. No one in the US has been convicted, and even those implicated can conveniently remain silent, given that American moral standards have already reached a point where they can tolerate such behavior. On the contrary, the successive implicating of European politicians will undoubtedly benefit the rise of the far-right in Europe that Trump hopes for.

There is not doubt, China has not only have the quantity, they have the diversity of systems and quality of systems to do serious irreparable damage in the region. Even in 90s The US was in doubt about their capabilities to deal with China, especially asymmetrically let alone since 2009. Given China industrial capabilities and size, once the arsenal is depleted, every ship and every nation involve would become just a sitting duck. That is why every stooge war scenario is just counting for two weeks of war at best.
Also US allies in the region are pretty small. So US would have to spend more energy defending them that could have use otherwise.
And what if he was remove because he wanted to take over Taiwan before his retirement at the time that Xi is negotiating with the KMT.
