By changing a few place names, creating some media hype, it projects a tough stance and creates the illusion that its territorial claims have been realized on the ground.

Those who are eager to label China as a “developed country” are not truly seeking China's “graduation,” but rather its “exclusion,” aiming to detach China from the Global South camp. China is very clear-minded and will not fall into this trap.

The essence of Tsai Ing-wen's provocative trip to the US is to sacrifice Taiwan's industrial development in a bid to curry political favor with Washington.

If China's production capacity were truly “excessive,” how could it continue to win the votes of consumers around the world with their hard-earned money? There is only one real measure of whether this transition has succeeded: whether people around the world can afford better cars that are better to drive.
Why should anyone else's approval be required for normal China-Canada defense dialogue? The overly sensitive reaction to the China-Canada defense dialogue ultimately stems from Washington's hegemonic mind-set.

Comparing an illegal unilateral sanctions campaign with no basis in international law and no authorization from the UN Security Council to the allied landing in Normandy, one of the defining battles of the anti-fascist war, is an absurd analogy.

The so-called “economic D-Day” operation is less a new offensive launched by the US against Iran than it is yet another attempt by Washington to cut its losses as quickly as possible and extricate itself from the quagmire of the Middle East – a move to change tactics and keep gambling after military means have proven ineffective.
It is the US itself that truly needs profound reform and opening-up.
While Western public discourse is still endlessly debating the pros and cons of different robotics paths, China, focused on "running its own affairs well," has already moved ahead.

The US' drive for "domestic substitution" is an attempt to reshape a supply chain that "excludes China," and is essentially protectionism and unilateral bullying.

China's countermeasures this time are generally restrained. If the US insists on introducing new restrictive measures against China, China's response will be even more resolute. China will not hold back, nor will it hesitate to take further actions.

Less than a month after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran, tensions between the two sides have once again escalated.

Japan is certainly not a "stakeholder" in the South China Sea. Neither geographically nor legally does Japan have any connection to the region. However, since Japan insists on labeling itself as such, it is worth examining what these "interests" actually entail.
A piece of waste paper is ultimately just that – a piece of waste paper. Who does the 14-country statement intend to intimidate? The Chinese people do not believe in fallacy, nor are we afraid of evil forces. The Chinese people do not stir up trouble, and we are not cowards when confronted with it.
