China's rise is indeed something new, but it represents the emergence of an Eastern civilization that differs from Western society. To recognize and understand this civilization, one must have a basic understanding of significant archaeological discoveries.

Playing victim and blaming others plays well on the domestic political stage. But it is also the reason why the problems of the American political economy and social settlement can't be solved. To solve its problems, the US must own its problems. Blaming others via “China Shock” tropes is another symptom of a deep pathology of irresponsibility in the American body politic.

If the Europe doesn't move toward a more equidistant position between the US and China, or simply a more positive relationship with China, but seeks a continuing close relationship with the US, on terms very much dictated by the US, this will mean a far more one-sided and unequal than was previously the case.

When some American experts are still pondering how to "learn from China to beat China," they are destined to trap themselves in the maze of hegemony.

As China participates ever more deeply in the global community, its growth and innovation fuel not only national prosperity but also inspire worldwide trends. The tale of LEGO in China is one of an outside culture blending with local values — a living testament to how cross-cultural “brick-building” can foster mutual understanding, progress and a hopeful vision of a shared future, one colorful plate at a time

What's truly exciting is how coffee, now more than ever, serves as a bridge – a place where cultures meet and mix. The next time a New Yorker picks up a Luckin cup, maybe they'll notice a subtle, lingering finish reminiscent of Yunnan's distinctive teas, connecting two worlds in a single sip. @dinggangchina

Marking the 80th anniversary of the war's end is not a demand for privileged status on the world stage.

China isn't interested in an arms race or global dominance. The J-35 isn't designed or built to intimidate the world; rather, it represents China's promise – a commitment to help safeguard peace at home and abroad.

The universality of Western development trajectories is called into question, and none of the G7 group members can now credibly position themselves as an envied and respected modernization model to be followed and imitated by other nations.

“Suppose you only see Huawei's technological innovation and fail to recognize the large number of unsung basic science researchers behind it. How can you make a correct judgment about Huawei's pursuits?”: @dinggangchina

The emergence of HarmonyOS challenges Windows but also motivates Windows to keep upgrading and opening up. Of course, it is also a warning to those who want to use hegemonic tactics to gain a technological monopol.

Renewed dialogue isn't just about returning to the status quo - it's about moving forward with a new understanding and commitment to shared responsibility.

The fact is that today, China-Russia relations stand out as one of the very few remaining cornerstones of international stability in a profoundly unstable and highly volatile world.

Washington insists on framing the world in zero sum binary terms: us or them. Australia's interests are best served by rejecting such binaries.

We should stop ignoring a fact: technological dominance doesn't last, and attempts at "tech hegemony" are more frustrating than fruitful. The essential nature of progress, especially in AI, cuts against the very idea.

During my recent travels through Bhutan and Nepal, I witnessed firsthand how China's growth is increasingly transcending these snow-capped peaks, attracting countries along the southern slopes of the Himalayas. At its core, this phenomenon is not about geopolitical competition but about each individual's pursuit of a better life

From previously embracing multilateralism, the US has chosen unilateralism. It can no longer expect the same kind of goodwill from these countries, their loyalty will increasingly be motivated by fear.

The BRI is not about China reshaping the world but rather about China using its accumulated expertise and experience to articulate the importance of cultural exchange.

On most of these crucial issues, the EU today is much closer to China than it is to the US. Furthermore, Europeans and Chinese largely share the fundamental commitment to the principle of multilateralism that has been explicitly dismissed by Washington.

The growing trade and investment relations among Asian BRICS members, coupled with enhanced infrastructure connectivity, underscore the group's potential to drive sustainable development and regional stability.

As twilight descended, the mirrors in Dunhuang began to pivot, catching the last rays of sunlight and directing them toward the solar tower. This reveals the essence of the race between civilizations: actual progress is never achieved by extinguishing the light of others but by becoming a brighter source of light yourself.

The “Greater BRICS” proves the success of this heterogeneous platform of countries united around common objectives, particularly the reform of global governance institutions and the deepening of South-South cooperation.

The “China AI threat” narrative is an alternative acknowledgment of China's technological march and a stumbling confession of an old hegemon struggling to face a new world.

It is yet to be seen how the ongoing transatlantic disputes will be resolved. It is clear, however, that the disagreements go far beyond the AI domain. Nonetheless, the numerous AI management challenges cannot wait until both sides of the Atlantic Ocean sort out their disagreements and come to a common denominator.

For American companies, staying in China is not just a choice - it's a necessity.

In a world increasingly driven by AI, competing with China isn't just about building better tools or writing better algorithms.

The term "Avocado Freedom" described the ability to buy avocados without worrying about the price - a luxury that now feels out of reach for many.

The game will ultimately demonstrate that hegemonism's arrogance and misjudgment of reality will continually undermine Washington's foundational path of strategic development.

What if we calculate the accounts based on the businesses run by US entrepreneurs? The logic of the China-US trade story might not align with Washington's imagined scenario.

The future belongs to new flexible, inclusive mechanisms rather than to old, rigid hierarchical blocks. Ultimately, Western politicians and analysts have good reason to be concerned, not about BRICS, but about the future of their own stiff and inflexible institutions.

China is seen as a pillar of multilateralism and a country with high legitimacy on the international stage. This explains why most respondents expect China to encourage Global South countries to jointly safeguard world peace, protect the diversity of civilizations and promote economic cooperation.

China's diplomatic approach that stems from "Hehe" culture is not just a frame of advocacy. As an ontology it paints a dramatically different picture of not just the nature of the world, but the possibilities and the role of humanity and state agency in enabling the ongoing pursuit of harmony.

Given the signs about China's new trade data, Washington's strategic decision-makers should recognize the diminishing effectiveness of their repeated "attacks" on Chinese manufacturing and their effort to restructure their supply chains.

Today, Washington's policymakers seem intent on dismantling the foundation of Carter's policies. They are working to construct an image of China as a hostile adversary, even resorting to spreading misinformation to achieve this goal. This is the most concerning aspect of the future of US-China relations.

What is deeply hidden here is why the US wants to, but cannot, stop China's economic and trade relations from developing in this region.

Africa truly needs partners who can help it build a future on its own terms – not “saviors” in new clothes who see Africa as their strategic resource to control the world.

The NBA would finally discover that a beloved brand can't rubber-stamp its ideals onto a foreign audience. China wasn't having it, and rightfully so. A cultural exchange, whether through diplomacy, business or basketball, should inspire dialogue, not contempt.

Recognizing the "colonized and plundered mind" is also an important step in the cultural reconstruction of developing countries, especially for South-South cooperation, where exchanges on the shadow of colonialism play an important role in deepening understanding and promoting the development of common interests.

The Airshow China 2024 tells a story of transformation. China's manufacturing is no longer just following – it's competing and, in some areas, leading. As a popular internet saying goes, “You can never underestimate how hard Chinese people can work!”

China-Brazil relations aren't just another trade story. It's a tale of how two nations, separated by vast oceans, have found their economic destinies intertwined through rust-colored rocks

The competition for influence between China and the US in Africa seems to be a question of who invests more. Still, it is actually a question of how to help Africa develop.

How far will a new Japanese administration try to push the envelope in seeking to extend the limitations of its ability to act not solely as America's principal client state in the region, but also to find a space in which it can begin to flex its own muscle?

This historical dominance of Western colonizers gives those old colonial countries an advantage in climate negotiations, standard-setting, and the corresponding allocation of resources and environmental market tools.

India isn't exactly thrilled about being a pawn in America's grand chess game. It understands that playing by US rules won't let it become the independent powerhouse it aspires to be

Transforming BRICS from a global club into a global lab will require significant political commitment, persistence and stamina. A single summit, as important as it is, will not suffice. However, the meeting in Kazan can become an important step toward this clearly achievable, though quite ambitious, goal.

No country can thrive in a globalized world with fractured industrial and supply chains.

The Summit of the Future, with all the reservations one might have about its specific outputs and outcomes, can be an important step in the right direction.

Washington may leverage its limited hegemony to sever ties with Chinese manufacturing, but it cannot reconstruct the intricate, globalization-aligned connections.

The 11th Beijing Xiangshan Forum is convening in Beijing from Thursday to Saturday. With rising security challenges both in the Asia-Pacific region and globally, what is China's response to these uncertainties? What are China's perspectives on security in its surrounding areas and worldwide?

Many Chinese businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises, need employees who can speak Chinese. Enhancing young people's employability is crucial for Kenya's economic development and long-term debt solution.

Why did Zheng feel offended when some spectators shouted the slur "yellow banana"? In the modern context, this term carries strong racial discrimination connotations. The essence of sports competition lies in fair play and the display of individual abilities, not racial or cultural superiority. Zheng's assertive response effectively answers why she can rise to the top of the global tennis scene.

Modernization has become one of the great subjects of discussion in China. Ever since the century of humiliation, the quest for modernization had eluded China. By the time of the revolution in 1949, China lagged hugely behind the West. The need to modernize was China's greatest challenge. In the late 1970s, Deng Xiaoping learned from the Asian tigers and the West. His answer was to open up to the rest of the world, most notably the West.

China's rise isn't a threat - it's an opportunity. It's proof that human civilization can bloom in different ways. It can't be stopped.

Despite the immense competitive pressure facing China's technological development, Dr Tsung-Dao Lee saw great potential in China. It is precisely because Dr Li saw this potential, that he made significant contributions to unleashing such potential.

If the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games showed us anything, it is that Western culture is experiencing an unprecedented gap. How this will evolve, and whether it will be reconciled, is related to the impact of Western culture on global geopolitics

The mathematical tug-of-war in the recent 2024 IMO mirrors the broader US-China rivalry. American companies leverage global talent to secure top positions in high technology, while China should become a talent magnet, attracting international brains – including overseas Chinese – to fuel its future growth

Former US permanent representative to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison recently said that the best leverage to deter China is to make its economy collapse. She expressed hope that none of the major economies in the world will invest in China, do business in China, or create jobs in China, so that China's economy will collapse. Her comments clearly reflect a certain mind-set held by some US political elites toward China, which aligns with the strategic direction the US is currently pursuing.

If Western politicians and commentators are unwilling or unable to appreciate the truth, goodness and beauty of the East, how can they understand the politics of Eastern civilization?

For the US, the Asia-Pacific region becoming a “powder keg” is the ultimate means of victory. The ruling elite in the US seems to be trapped in an extreme fear of China. For the US, as long as it can defeat China and emerge as the ultimate “winner,” it is willing to risk the destruction of the whole of Asia through war.

The US prioritizing strategic competition with China has led to its commitments on global issues like climate change and cooperation with developing countries, including China, being viewed as secondary objectives or merely serving the "we win, they lose" strategic competition.

Instead of trying to shift problems from a sick head to a healthy one, the US leaders should meticulously conceptualize and consistently implement a long-term re-industrialization strategy that could once again unite the divided nation around common goals and aspirations.

After Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced each other again on Thursday night local time, the Democratic Party went into panic, and Biden's credibility began to waver.

The "export" of Chinese education is not about "competing" with Western international schools, it is about providing children in more countries with a new path to change through education, offering new learning methods and a spirit of diligent study.

It poses a simple question for the US and the EU, what matters to them most, countering the threat of climate change, as the US and EU have said many times, or containing China?

It's important to recognize that some in the UK are amplifying the "China threat" theory for their own political gain. However, their methods are outdated and out of touch.

Just as the name of Chang'e stems from the graceful moon goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, it's not about threats but about humanity's curiosity and yearning for the unknown.

While Europe's social systems have provided living guarantees for their citizens, it has also made people less motivated to actively seek employment. The notion of "working hard to become prosperous" is deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese people.

Trilateral consultations among China, Russia and India on strategic stability would not only contribute to world peace and security, but also build trust and mutual confidence between Beijing and New Delhi.

As Gen Z moves further from Washington's traditional strategy, or at least from the traditional interpretations of the capitalist will, the US' influence is poised for change, signaling a new era where global perspectives gain precedence over dated doctrines.

For anyone seeking a more authentic understanding of China and trying to grasp why China has chosen its unique path of modernization, Shanghai serves as a crucial window. However, there is more to China than just Shanghai.

China is well positioned to forge strong relations with Russia, while at the same time providing effective strategic maintenance of its relationship with the US and Europe. This should be China's strategic "megaproject" in the 2020s.

The global economy cannot be defined solely by the interests of the US and Europe.

As we explore the complexities of modern-day Sinophobia in the UK, it is essential to recognize that the specter of Dr. Fu Manchu, a fictional character, and the historical prejudices he represents still influence contemporary attitudes toward China and its people.

Washington's strategy toward China increasingly employs security and human rights as pretexts to dominate or exclude Chinese firms from the global market, including the US market. This strategy is becoming a clear manifestation of the capitalist mentality of "winner takes all," which exacerbates the inherent flaws of American Capitalism.

It is very encouraging to see that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Australia this week. With the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong's visit to China in November, this indicates that China-Australia relations are getting back on track fast.

All of us have to learn from each other and assist each other in the uneasy process of maturing as a civilization. The GCI provides valuable guidance on how this process of mutual learning and mutual assistance should develop further

American political elites cannot stand the global popularity of TikTok, which is beyond the control of American capital, as well as its leading role, so they want to take it over.

If humankind is committed to its survival and prospering, it has to choose the Star Trek path over the Star Wars path.

Where does America find the funds to support Ukraine so generously? Well, it all depends on how you crunch the numbers.

When more and more consumers around the world do not want to "dress the same," it provides a huge opportunity for the development of China's textile manufacturing industry.

Even if some still view China's rise as a threat of the “dragon,” they must also enter into a new global situation of coexistence with China whether they like it or not.

According to reports from US media outlets, amid ongoing Israel-Palestine conflicts, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside former US house speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home. In response to their demonstration, Pelosi reportedly shouted to them, "Go back to China where your headquarters is!" This is a veteran American politician's interpretation of the war in Gaza.

When pro-independence forces tie Taiwan's fate tightly to the US war machine, Taiwan's economic development choices are already severely limited. It is hoped that more Taiwan people will see the prospects for their island from the truths spoken by Trump.

The world watches in silence and prepares for change brought about by US election. It is the political evolution of the US that stands as the world's most uncertain factor, with reverberating consequences that will shape the international landscape for years to come.

Chinese modernization is a high-standard definition of modernization that not only has milestone significance for China's development but also provides a strong impetus for global modernization and offers a new choice for countries and peoples in the world that hope to accelerate development while maintaining their independence.

Is China really that terrifying? Washington repeatedly emphasizes the need to win in competition with China. No one knows what Washington's ultimate goal of victory is; not even American politicians can explain it clearly.

Hopefully, throughout 2024 the two sides could make an important step in moving from basic cooperation to more advanced forms of collaboration. This development would serve not only strategic interests of the two sides, but also global stability.

Retaining Chinese enterprises, technologies and personnel is essential to preserving the lifeline of Made in China, which will enable us to strike back forcefully when India illegally treats Chinese enterprises and counter the impact of the US attempt to decouple from China.

We all need to promote peace rather than agitate for war in East Asia and the world at large. War should not be an option for East Asian countries.

The values of white supremacy in the US are deeply rooted and form the bedrock of US policymaking led by those who have a say in Washington's China policy.

In a worldwide context, Foshan's challenges reflect the fierce global competition for talent during the changing trends of globalization.

Asia today faces unprecedented security challenges, and the situation in Asia needs to be understood from the perspective of overall international relations. China should think out of the box and consider what it can do for the world. I would like to discuss China's unique role in world order from the perspective of "Chineseness."

Promoting stability in the China-US relationship will bring strategic certainty and constructive development for the well-being of both countries, which is inherently positive. Those who attempt to distort this positive development into something negative will find it difficult to convince the public.

We are seeing a turning point in China-US ties. Whether the relations will move toward normalization and improvement or toward further deterioration will have a significant impact on global peace and development.

When observing a development path, it is important to consider who is guiding and governing, but more importantly, whether it can lead impoverished people to prosperity and benefit the general population.

The opening of the Xinjiang Pilot Free Trade Zone is an important strategic shift for China's economy and its opening-up to other parts of the world. The ancient Silk Road will showcase its vigor and charm at this new historical point in the process of further expanding and deepening globalization, writes @dinggangchina

Australia is the first US ally to make a clear change in its attitude toward China after a fierce conflict with China since the US defined China as its No.1 strategic competitor.

The case of Cai Lei, a Chinese ALS patient and former vice president of JD.com, offers a unique perspective on China-US relations, showcasing the importance of cooperation rather than severance.

Why did the four great civilizations of the world converge and interact at Dunhuang in China? What kind of cultural spirit and mind-set does it embody? Only when these questions are clarified, can we understand the rise of China today and the significance of China's modernization and the Belt and Road Initiative for the world.

Russia and China could work together on these and other food security matters.

The airstrike this time resulted in 500 deaths. The international investigation must not be neglected, and the perpetrators of this grave massacre must be brought to justice. Let Israel present all their arguments to the International Court of Justice. If such investigation and eventual punishment are obstructed and cannot proceed, then the West should never again speak of "justice" to the world. The ICC in The Hague may as well be dismantled and its bricks and stones used to build a tomb for justice.

From Jiayu Pass, we can understand more fully how the Belt and Road can provide a strong impetus for cooperation and development in Central and South Asia, as well as the Middle East and Europe. Traveling further west, we will go to Dunhuang City, Northwest China's Gansu Province, the jewel of cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world, where the four major world civilizations - Chinese, Indian, Greek, and Islamic - met a thousand years ago…

Due to suspected illegal activities, Xu Jiayin, board chairman of China Evergrande Group, has been placed under mandatory measures by local authorities. Upon hearing this news, my initial reaction was, what will happen to those who have purchased Evergrande properties? This is probably the biggest question for many people. I strongly hope and believe that the actions taken by various regions to ensure the delivery of housing projects will not be affected by Xu's personal fate. Minimizing the losses for homebuyers should be the primary consideration in handling the Evergrande case.

As part of civil society, we should make every effort to put China-US relations back on track.

The changes in Guyuan are a microcosm of the world's most significant and ambitious emissions reduction program.

Though it is hardly possible to get back to where the region was 20 years ago, the spirit of the six-party talks remains the best hope for security solutions in the region of Northeast Asia.

The rise of Chinese manufacturing will undoubtedly pose a shock to the EU, but if it cannot treat such competition fairly and continues to politically discriminate against Chinese companies, the EU itself will ultimately be hurt.

India has always had two names: "India" in English and "Bharat" in Hindi and several other languages.

US lawmakers have always been the most radical anti-China force, so how can we be intimidated by a few clamors from them?

At the end of 2019, I accompanied an American and German media delegation to the offices of Chinese tech giant Huawei. Although it was only for one day, this brief encounter gave me a deeper understanding of this company.

The Mate 60 Pro is not only a 5G phone but also the world's first mass-market smartphone with satellite calling capabilities.

In a recent conversation, a friend told me that the price of organic eggs has increased. At the beginning of the year 24 eggs cost $6.69, and now they cost $6.99. Building materials for remodeling have roughly doubled in price compared to before the pandemic.

I suggest they take a cross-border trip and compare the real "vigor" of Chinese people.

We must see that the US is on the offensive, but its offensive is becoming weaker and weaker, and it is always hesitant with each step. What is presented to China are difficulties and risks, but also the dawn of victory.

The true test of the "Third Wave" for China is whether we can achieve super-speed catch-up, which is China's sprinting power. In the "Fourth Wave," the real test is more about our endurance and tenacity.

Washington's “Whack-A-Mole” containment policy is similar to a race against time, but time is clearly not on its side. The US is increasingly agitated by the exhaustion of such a policy.

Although the chip industry is highly advanced, if there is one country that can win this counterattack, it is China.

The China-Laos Railway will be extended. Whether it continues along Laos to the south, enters Cambodia and connects with Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, or directly enters Thailand from Vientiane and connects with Bangkok, the railroad, as a tool, will definitely contribute to the improvement of economic development and benefit the people of all countries along the route.

It would be unrealistic to expect the World Peace Forum to find unambiguous and convincing answers to these and many other questions debated there. But I was impressed with surprisingly optimistic views expressed during most of plenary sessions and thematic panels.

No matter how highly the US touts India's democracy, if the country's various ethnic groups do not develop in tandem, enjoy the dividends of development, but remain divided along religious lines, its modernization will not be sustainable and will always face the possibility of division.

China is making progress in human rights based on peaceful development. This is also something that Western theories cannot explain.

Now as the West engages in strangling China and the "decoupling" of the two systems, we have to open up even more, that is, the institutional opening-up of rules, regulations, standards and management. I call it a "unilateral opening-up."

I would like to give a thumbs-up to the recent professional and precise interception by a PLA fighter jet.

The coffee beans may not have changed, but the technology of cultivation, roasting, and transportation has changed, and most importantly, the people who grow coffee have changed.

What struck me the most was not the huge difference between poverty and affluence but the attitude of young people toward work and life. In China, young people have the ambition and opportunity to seize the light. This is the key to China's economic tenacity.

Two Russian military commanders, including a brigade commander, were killed in fierce combat near the frontline hotspot of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. Their deaths reflect the increasing brutality of the Ukraine war. The Ukrainian army has recently received a lot of new weapons from NATO countries, and the Russian army may face greater challenges in the upcoming battles.

ChatGPT's biggest flaw is that it has no emotions. For example, it cannot write the emotional and political commentary of the time that Dickens wrote at the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness."

Accusing China of interfering in Canada's internal affairs? Canada is really painting China in its own ugly image.

If the war in Ukraine does not stop sooner, it will quite likely increasingly develop toward defiance of the rules, with both sides making their most ruthless moves one step at a time.

My preliminary view is that the real purpose of this action is to create a shock, to disrupt the upcoming Victory Day parade in Moscow's Red Square on May 9, use it as a symbol that Moscow is not far from the battlefield and that the war has reached here, and eventually undermine Russian society's confidence in the final victory.

Many coffee-producing countries still bear the slavery dregs brought by the colonizers, which has restricted the change of the economic development of these countries, continuing the legacy of coffee development.

Yoon forgets that one of the reasons South Korea has achieved sustained prosperity is that it has effectively balanced its complex relations with all sides over the past decades.

The Tibetan community have shamelessly come out and defended themselves, as if Dalai Lama's doing these dirty things show his so-called "compassion" more than not doing them. They are shameless and insane, but I'm sorry, the world is sober and won't go crazy with them.

The kowtow view is obsolete because the Eastern countries are no longer on the periphery of Western civilization but will be at the center of world civilization. Whether it is China, India, or some other Asian country, it will always be a power-sharer.

China and Brazil share many common pursuits on climate issues. We look forward to President Lula's visit to further promote China-Brazil cooperation on environmental protection.

The PLA's exercises have created a strong sense of deterrence, which will eventually compress "Taiwan independence" into a hopeless black hole.

China's military exercises in the Taiwan Straits are not a "blast fishing" exercise but a blast to the heart and guts of Taiwan secessionists aiming to correct the US and Taiwan's expectations for the situation in the Straits.

The recent dazzling diplomatic games are the proof of China's strong capability to defend its vital interests and maintain usual relations with other major powers.

For the world's No.1 power like the US, who is the president, what kind of person is the president, and his personal qualities are by no means small problems. We might argue, since “Trump I” was elected, Trump II and III will follow, and this may not be stopped by a single trial of Trump.

Next time when US officials preach democracy and human rights to other countries, I hope they will first think about those who died at the gunpoint of their own people.

Ma's visit to the mainland for ancestral worship and communication stand in stark contrast to Tsai's trip to the US, highlighting the positive significance of Ma's visit to the mainland. As a mainland media professional, I wish Ma a smooth and successful visit to the mainland.

We believe that no private business giant will lie flat in the days to come, and we also believe that new forces will continue to emerge, working together to create a competitive and thriving business environment.

Every step that Taiwan takes in pretending to be a "country" will become increasingly difficult, like walking on thin ice, and it will also become more expensive.

Why is TikTok so popular in China? Of course, technology is paramount. But its rise is not a coincidence, especially in the form of short videos and live streaming with goods.

Xizang is a unique but normal human society, not a museum showing Tibetan barbaric and backward serfdom culture. A socialist China is people-centered, and all ethnic groups will be truly respected and protected.

The two arch-rivals of the Middle East - Saudi Arabia and Iran - recently sat down for peace talks in Beijing and restored diplomatic relations, highlighting the effectiveness of China's diplomatic efforts. Why can China act as the "peace broker?"

The US military budget is aimed at global hegemony, but there are many factors in regional military games that cannot be replaced by global games.

What the Chinese eat, how they eat it, and whether the meals on the table will become more diverse affects the US' economy and its high-tech competitiveness.

The game surrounding the Taiwan question is destined to become increasingly complex, and the intensity of the game will continue to rise.

Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang attends a press conference on China's foreign policy and foreign relations on the sidelines of the first session of the 14th National People's Congress today, and these are the points that impressed me most.

China's development potential is in a stage of continuous release, far from being exhausted. It is necessary to ensure that the momentum of development is sufficient and powerful.

South Korea's diplomacy has always been swinging between getting close to its major neighbors and sticking closely to the US. The Moon Jae-in government was a driving force in easing tensions on the Korean Peninsula, while the current Yoon administration has shifted towards a different direction and resonated with the US Indo-Pacific strategy. "Pro-Japan" is just one of the manifestations of this big swing. Hopefully, South Korea can stay stable and not become a pawn of the US, as it should be one of the players in the complex chess game in Northeast Asia.

In general, the Global Security Initiative initiative is very welcome and very timely, and I think that creative and active role of China is highly appreciated.

China's choice can only be to expand and open its consumer market further and support the outward flow of Chinese manufacturing and technology, at the same time, upgrading high-tech and manufacturing industries to create more new products and win a broader global market.

It's better to listen to China. While the situation is deadlocked, but there is still room for maneuver, negotiations should be carried out to end the war earlier for the benefit of everyone.

Politico reported that the Pentagon is making preliminary plans for new house speaker Kevin McCarthy's travel schedule, including a possible trip to the island of Taiwan this spring. That US media reveals the military was making security preparations for McCarthy's Taiwan visit can be seen as the first move of the public opinion war ahead of the visit.

The increasing cooperation between China and African countries has opened a new window for them, a China window beyond the old Western window, from where new choices can be seen.

The West finds it difficult to think afresh in the post-COVID era. China is embracing a new post-COVID era, while the West is behind the curve, still living in a COVID-dominated era of international relations.

The crisis and consequence caused by COVID-19 is real. It has swept the world over the past three years, and many countries have come out through almost “surrendering to the virus.” China has been fighting the epidemic for three years, and it will eventually break the lock of the virus. From November to December, the country made up its mind to take this step. It turned out to be more challenging and painful than many had expected. However, we have escaped the worst period of the virus after all. China carried out a strategic breakthrough when it was relatively weakened.

The basic judgment is that even in the worst-case scenario, the COVID-19 mortality rate in China should be much lower than that of the US and Europe in the last three years if the same statistical criteria are applied. Everyone can remain completely confident about this.

Recent diplomatic activities around Ukraine imply that Russia, Ukraine, the US and the West at large are approaching 2023 with no immediate prospects not only for a comprehensive political settlement, and not even for a ceasefire.

The global industrial chain and supply chain are now undergoing unprecedented changes, but the advantages of Made in China remain unchanged, and the image of China based on Made in China is still on the rise.

The Europe of today, including the modern prosperous lifestyles that people enjoy, and the order and rules that sustain such a lifestyle, is the result of the continuation of this great colonial expansion.

China has provided a reference for the Arab world with its own stable and sustained development. What China can do, the Arab countries must be able to do as well.

In the aspects of the competition in manufacturing in the major industrial countries that China already has a leading position, it is because in those aspects, human resources have won.

But when it makes this a strategic goal, it will do its best to contain China's development in the global supply chain, make every effort to keep the international supply chain in its own hands, and restructure its relations with its allies accordingly.

Some Europeans look at China with a sense of superiority. The question is not what facilities China wants “to control” in Europe, but whether Europeans can get back the working spirit that once brought Europe to development.

In the past, the status of major power was won through wars, such as the British empire, the US and the Soviet Union. But now, whether a country can be defined as a major power depends on whether it has the ability and will to provide enough international public goods to the region and the world. Achieving sustainable rise by providing international public goods is what differentiates China and other major powers in the past. Asian peace can be secured with more international public goods.

Whether the US is the best partner of the Asia-Pacific region, it is not dependent on what Vice President Kamala Harris will say at the APEC meeting; rather, all countries in this region have a steelyard in their hearts. The real scale on the steelyard is the technology, capital and market support that the US provides to the region, not the language Harris uses. Everyone knows what kind of geopolitical goals the US harbors in the Asia-Pacific region, but is at a loss as to what tangible benefits the US can bring to the region.

After the Xi-Biden meeting, it would be good for the world and for both China and the US, if US policymakers could look in the right direction and think about the words of the Chinese leader.

So what does the future hold? America will not be able to contain China. The latter will remain deeply connected with the world. China's greatest strength is the close relationship it has built with the developing world.

Many newly elected Republican politicians believe that the distribution of Ukraine war efforts is unfair since the Ukrainian crisis is a European problem rather than a US one. The pressure on Europe is likely to increase, writes a Russian scholar

Division is profoundly affecting American political and social life. Each side sees the other as "not my people" and has a strong sense of disgust and distrust of the other. American attributes were shredded.

Vietnam is clearly aware that the US wants to use it as a pawn, so Hanoi is vigilant while developing relations with the US. Trong's visit further eliminates the risk of bilateral ties being distracted by the South China Sea issue.

Biden said the US has to "responsibly manage the increasingly intense competition with China," and "we have to maintain our military advantage by making clear that - that we do not seek conflict."

The biggest thing the US forgets is that they are “fighting” against a country with a strong industrial base. If it wants to “destroy” China, even in just one or two industrial areas, first of all, get ready to be hit back.

Leaders with a narrow and flimsy political and social base cannot demonstrate a strong leadership, no matter how bright and committed they might be.

A new kind of Chinese modernization depends on a new kind of balance in the relationship between Western and Chinese input. China must place greater stress on its own intellectual and cultural capacity and become less dependent on American influences.

The rise of far-right parties in Sweden is by no means a positive signal for globalization. Taking political changes that have occurred in major European countries into consideration, people are wondering where Europe is headed.

As the war between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, the demon of nuclear weapons seems to be still hovering around the white house in Reykjavik as the 1986 summit, making strange noises.

Apple announces it will produce iPhone 14 in India. US and Apple policymakers, Indian producers, as well as the world's Apple production and supply chain, will all bear the backlash of US containment policy toward China.

Russia is now the equivalent of a screw, and Europe and Ukraine a nut. Both the screw and the nut are in the hands of the US.

The most important factor that China takes up the global supply chain in just a few decades is its political stability. In the world's systems of economy and supply chain, China's role is irreplaceable.

Peace can be secured if more and more countries choose to side with peace and oppose war, not being tied to certain military groups, and not being involved in a broader war, including financial and economic sanctions.

Please don't forget that there will be no absolute winner or loser in a military conflict between nuclear powers.

But the question is that Russia has strategic gaming capabilities, but what is Russia's long-term goal?

Russia and China now clearly see eye to eye on a range of international security and development issues; such a unity of views is historically justified and also reflects the current geopolitical balance in the international system. This unity constitutes a solid foundation for a long-term mutually beneficial cooperation between the two nations; one can only hope that the relationship will remain vibrant and will get stronger over time.

The influence of Queen Elizabeth II and her royal family included a perceived legacy of colonialism, particularly the division of civilization into different classes, which still severely constrains the development of former colonial countries.

Western sanctions will not kill Russia, but will create a new Russia, which is giving up its illusions about the West and gradually embedding deeper into the East, finding a new self by enjoying the dividends of the rise of the East.

It is necessary to ask rhetorically why the elites in the US and the West are always thinking about when China will overtake the US in terms of economic size. This is because the rise of China has touched their deepest sense of superiority.

What lessons can China learn from Russia's prosperity and setbacks? Where does the energy of the "fighting nation" come from? How has Russia developed a unified national identity? These present a new topic of how to take a deeper look at Russia.

Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the former Soviet Union, passed away on Tuesday local time. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences. But the real and overwhelming compliments for him came from the West, ranging from US President Joe Biden to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and politicians from the same era of Gorbachev, who praised him for introducing “brave democratic reforms,” bringing “freedom,” ending the Cold War and making the world safer.

If the world order and system, as the Americans and the West call it, cannot offer enough room for China and the US to dance together, cannot accommodate the growth of Chinese companies and the rise of China's capital power, it only means that it is this order and system that needs to be improved.

The expo signals a new beginning for China to lead a new wave of globalization.

Will the US start a war against China? History tells us that the option of war is an inherent part of US capital export and expansion, and that Washington is often easily manipulated by the impulse of capital power.

Several US lawmakers made a visit to the island of Taiwan via US military aircraft on Sunday. This is new provocation. On the same day, it's revealed by the Taiwan side that China's PLA sent 22 military aircraft and six warships for combat readiness security patrols in the Taiwan Straits and some of them crossed the so-called median line, which the mainland doesn't recognize.

Five Chinese state-owned giants – China Life Insurance, PetroChina, Sinopec, Aluminum Corporation of China, and Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical – have announced they will delist from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It is important to understand exactly what the delisting means, without either underestimating or overstating the significance.

How to better play the advantages of the national system is the key for China to break through the containment and suppression in this competition.

China does not want to be an enemy of the US. But if the US strategy is to push China into a hostile position, then China has only one option.

The danger of a military conflict over Taiwan is now far greater than at any time since the 1970s. Any such conflict would be far more serious than if it had happened previously as China is now the equal of the US.
