In this context of increasing US pressure, Canada's efforts to strengthen engagement with China, diversify its economic and trade relationships, and secure greater autonomy in a multipolar world represent a rational strategy to protect its long-term interests and reduce dependence on a single ally.

Lai's sentence is a solemn declaration of sovereignty, security and the spirit of the rule of law. It announces that the dignity of the law is not to be trampled upon and that the bottom line of national security is not to be crossed. More profoundly, as a landmark case since the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, the Jimmy Lai case provides crucial legal guidance and certainty for future practice.

A quiet but profound shift is reshaping the geopolitical map of South America, as revealed by an exclusive Reuters report, "Brazil signals new openness to Mercosur-China talks as Beijing seeks deeper ties": For the first time, senior Brazilian officials are considering a push for a "partial" trade agreement between the Mercosur bloc and China.

Reunification is a matter of time, not a question of whether it will happen. Taiwan island, it is time to wake up.

It seems Western media outlets have been loading the Chinese economy and society with more dramatic weight than a "crying horse" could ever carry.

There is an old Chinese saying: when the winds of change blow, some people build walls while others build windmills. Starmer's trip to China was, in essence, a pragmatic attempt to adapt to these "winds" and adjust accordingly

Amid a growing trend among some Western countries to reflect on their over-dependence on the US and seek to diversify partnerships, certain Australian forces remain entrenched in the mind-set of binding Australia closely to the US.

For a country like Uruguay, the risk is securing greater policy autonomy without provoking Washington. That balancing act is becoming an increasingly visible feature of Latin America's engagement with China.

After Europe stoops to US' will for too long, straightening up now may bring sharp backache and unsteady footing. This is only natural. Yet if Europe does not stand tall today, the longer it delays, the more difficult the effort will become.

The story of Chinese games going global is both a narrative of industrial progress and a chapter in cross-cultural dialogue. Every steady step forward adds a new footnote to the evolving story of “Created in China.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte once again poured cold water on Europe's debate over “strategic autonomy” by bluntly claiming on Monday that Europe is “dreaming” if it thinks it can defend itself without the US. Rutte might consider taking California Governor Gavin Newsom's “advice”: If maintaining the transatlantic relationship requires such a subservient posture, he might as well put on knee pads.

What do the divergent foreign media narratives about Starmer's China visit reveal? The ideological narrative on China in Europe still possesses inertia, yet pragmatic engagement is increasingly becoming the practical choice. In a turbulent international environment, pursuing dialogue and cooperation is, in itself, a positive and realistic choice.

The world will not reorganize into neat “West VS East” camps. Instead, we will see fluid, overlapping, partial alliances and transactional networks. Canada's deal with China is not an isolated incident. It is a signal that the American-led order based on geographic and ideological division is disintegrating from within.

We need not obsess over whether the WSJ leak on US' Cuba regime change timetable is accurate. The true danger lies not in a specific timeline, but in Washington's rooted mindset of treating intervention as a right and hegemony as order. As long as the machinery of the new Monroe Doctrine exists, peace in Latin America will remain fragile.

The statements at Davos have sent a clear political signal of Europe's awakening. Moving forward, Europe must consolidate its strength through unity, steer its own course with greater autonomy, and expand its strategic space through diversification.

"Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution." This is a well-known saying most Chinese are familiar with. Europe has long believed the US is its friend, but does the US view Europe the same way?

When the US no longer considers how to combine competition and cooperation, but instead adopts protectionism to swim against the current, it may only be prolonging the pain. What is the US losing? We're afraid it's not just automobiles.

Moving forward, AIIB is expected to play an even greater role in advancing multilateral cooperation in global governance.

Today, Japan once again wraps itself in the mantle of “peace.” However, in practice, it pursues military expansion and policies that undermine regional peace and stability.

In Washington's worldview, a country's value is often measured by its resources and strategic position – value invites exploitation, while weakness is equated with safety.

Harbin's rising fame is not the triumph of a single scenic feature but the combined effect of convenient policies and unique experiences. It reflects a tangible form of China's appeal.

Africa belongs to Africans, and efforts to pressure African countries into making a so-called "choice" between China and the US amount to yet another blatant attempt to subordinate African development to Washington's geopolitical self-interest, at the expense of the well-being of African people.

Successful law enforcement cooperation does more than combat crime - it clears obstacles to regional economic integration, provides investors with predictable security assurances and creates environments where people can live in peace of mind and engage in cross-border exchanges.

For its own sake and for global stability, the US must retain a clear understanding of the value of responsibility, rules and cooperation – and shoulder at least the most basic obligations expected of a major power.

The 36-year new year tradition between China and Africa conveys a crucial sense of certainty in bilateral relations, and now – more than ever – a constant joint call for a more just, inclusive and trustworthy global order.

In the ongoing wave of technological change, China has consistently demonstrated its determination to turn development challenges into innovation opportunities and to make technological breakthroughs benefit global progress as a whole.

The “Will for Peace 2026” exercise does not target any third-party country or bloc as a hypothetical adversary; rather, it addresses the common threats to the security of maritime trade for BRICS Plus nations.

Deepening China-Ireland cooperation not only serves the interests of both peoples but also provides a valuable demonstration for China-EU relations: Countries with different social systems and at various development stages can fully achieve mutual benefits through mutual respect and equal dialogue.

China and the US are the world's largest developing and developed countries respectively. Focusing on their own development and managing their domestic affairs well not only concerns the well-being of their respective peoples, but also serves as a vital driving force for global peace and development.

Cooperation between China and the US benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both, a reality that has been repeatedly verified through practice.

Upholding the spirit of seeking common ground while shelving differences, replacing confrontation with dialogue, resolving disagreements through cooperation and managing contradictions with a broader perspective, China and the US can be fully capable of achieving mutual success and shared prosperity.

The international aerospace media outlet SpaceNews published a commentary on Monday titled “It's time to unburden space cooperation with China,” directly pointing to a long-standing issue: the Wolf Amendment, a congressional bar inhibiting civil collaboration between the US and China in space. As space exploration increasingly becomes a shared endeavor for all humanity, the stark reality that the US continues to rely on Cold War-style restrictions – trapping itself in an increasingly outdated system – has sparked some reflection from within the country.

Behind the 25-billion-yuan box office of China's animated film are the “wings” that technology has given to culture, the fruit of Chinese culture, and the bridge built by international interaction.

The "Asian way" prioritizes gradual, practical steps that respect sovereignty. It aims to reduce tension and miscalculation through communication and cooperation. China's diplomacy focuses on concrete actions for a shared future: enhancing cooperation, managing security, minimizing disputes and de-escalating crises.

In its economic dealings with China, Europe's policy choices have become a defining litmus test for its commitment to market economy principles and will directly influence the trajectory of China-EU economic and trade cooperation.

The line outside the zoo gate and the words spoken in the Diet are extending in opposite directions. In one corner of Tokyo, politicians debate “geostrategy” and “confrontation.” Outside Ueno Zoo, however, that long, quiet line speaks volumes about ordinary people's deep appreciation for warm human connections that transcend national borders.

Stability in the South China Sea has never depended on who tells the better story. Pushing fishermen into confrontations, politicizing livelihood issues, and instrumentalizing security concerns will only leave the Philippines bearing greater risks itself.

To forget history is to betray it; to deny guilt is to repeat the crime. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. Upholding historical justice and preventing the resurgence of Japanese militarism represent the shared will of the forces of justice in the international community.

When China explicitly defines advanced chips and computing power as core capabilities that must be indigenized, and commits national resources to sustained investment, the impact of whether the US "sells or doesn't sell, what it sells and how much" on China's long-term trajectory diminishes significantly. At most, it can affect pace and cost, but it cannot alter direction or objectives.

After whining to a circle of Western officials, Japanese Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi finally reached his US counterpart Pete Hegseth. Yet the stark differences between the two sides' official readouts of the call deserved far more attention than the conversation itself.

Some in the Australian strategic circle could not find a more "appropriate" timing than now to once again hype up the "China threat" narrative and propose measures against China.

History rolls on, the cast changes, but Japan's lines stay exactly the same - "It's never Japan's fault; Japan was forced to defend itself."

At this critical juncture in the reshaping of the international order, the world must cherish the power of peaceful development even more and remain wary of any resurgence of militarism.

From ASEAN to Africa, from Latin America to the Middle East, an increasing number of countries are benefiting from the stable demand of the Chinese market, as well as from investment, and technological cooperation. They understand better than any media that China is not a "beggar-thy-neighbor" actor - it is a partner that shares opportunities.

The Nexperia issue was not merely a political embarrassment for the Netherlands; it reflected a deeper reality: Europe has habitually underestimated China's capabilities and intentions. It was symptomatic of a broader cognitive gap that continues to shape and even distort Europe's China policy.

But is Xiaohongshu really "unsafe"? The truth the DPP dares not admit is hidden in its panicked excuses, in Taiwan youth's longing for the real world, and even more so in the growing awakening of Taiwan society.

The controversy surrounding Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on Taiwan continues to escalate. Her latest statements on the matter have exposed Tokyo's sinister intent to play word games and muddle through.

As the world's first scheduled commercial route connecting two near-antipodal cities - Shanghai and Buenos Aires, almost diametrically opposite on the globe - it has ushered in a new chapter for Global South connectivity.

Bringing NATO to the Asia-Pacific region will only increase anxiety of regional countries and create instability. If Japan really cares about the security in the so-called Indo-Pacific region, it should stop playing fire with the Taiwan question and stop stimulating security nerves of regional countries.

The concept of “Cool China” didn't emerge from a top-down promotion, nor was it manufactured by foreign media. Rather, it grew out of the spontaneous and genuine reactions of overseas public, especially young people, who after looking beyond layers of preconceived “filters,” are finally seeing China as it is.

Western efforts to "contain China" are increasingly being projected into the wider developing world, seeking to weaken trade and industrial ties between these countries and China. That is what a genuine beggar-thy-neighbor strategy looks like.

Smearing China's 6G based on security biases is both unfounded and detrimental to its own interests.

Taiwan's petty calculations regarding joining AUKUS reflect its malicious intention of seeking more room and external support for “independence” on the international stage. However, “Taiwan independence” separatists should recognize that there is no room for reckless actions.

The SGR is running and carrying the nation's ambitions on its rails. We should celebrate this monumental national achievement for what it is: a bold step toward the future Kenya is building for itself.

This year's G 20 summit carries symbolic weight beyond its specific declaration. The world is changing. If the US continues to respond with familiar displays of displeasure — boycotts, walkouts, attempts to block consensus – it may eventually discover that fewer and fewer countries feel obliged to coax it back into the room.

USCC report reveals the arrogance and anxiety of a major power struggling to adapt to a changing world.

The UK's anxiety does not stem from the so-called security, but the discomfort and alert toward China's technological leadership. A wise option for the UK is to stop indulging in pride and prejudice, but engage in mutually beneficial cooperation with China.

The blood-stained memory of Taiwan under decades of Japanese colonial rule underscores how sensitive any foreign military intervention - even an implication - in Taiwan island's security is.

Washington's goal is not to promote Greece's prosperity but to squeeze out China by “replacing” Chinese investment and forcing countries into a binary choice.

The Thai King's visit sends a clear message to the world: China is an “unmovable neighbor” and a partner for common development.

Takaichi's misguided remarks are part of a broader pattern. To truly correct its course, Japan must begin with an accurate recognition of history.

Frank words from COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago in a recent interview with The New York Times captures a long-standing absurdity in global climate politics: Some in the West apply blatant double standards toward China's green development, trapped in a self-contradictory mind-set.

When athletes sprint across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, when spectators travel effortlessly across the region, when institutional barriers quietly dissolve through collaboration – what people witness is not just a sporting spectacle, but a vivid portrait of an international metropolis cluster rising on the success of “one country, two systems.”

The Da Yang Hao's voyage signals a healthy normality: scientific cooperation by a rising power that is not conquering, but participating. If the West feels threatened by this, the discomfort lies in its own reflection – in realizing that its historic monopoly on defining the ocean's meaning has come to an end.

While the potential for cooperation in air pollution control is substantial, the depth and breadth of future collaboration will largely depend on how the Indian government responds to China's goodwill in sharing its experience.

Driving along the tidy streets into Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, seeing the porcelain sculptures line the road, you feel the breath of history.

What truly undermines democracy is the attempt to strip island countries of their right to make independent choices. What Pacific Island nations need is not “democracy preaching,” but genuine respect and the right to development.

The European Union and emerging economies, such as China and Brazil, are stepping up, advancing global green development and offering pragmatic cooperation. As Washington reverses course, the world's climate agenda is not collapsing - it is evolving toward a more decentralized and multipolar model of governance.

Shenzhou-21 is more than a spaceflight — it is a symbol of a nation that pursues balance, reason and cooperation.

A clear trend is taking shape. The Chinese mainland is moving more decisively to punish "Taiwan independence" separatists, while in the US, a growing chorus is advocating a sober, reality-based reassessment of the Taiwan question. For the separatists still lost in their fantasies, the wake-up call has already sounded.

The advertisement controversy serves as a prism, reflecting the structural dilemmas Canada faces in safeguarding its economic sovereignty while seeking pragmatic cooperation in an asymmetrical power dynamic.

Europe's security in a globalized economy depends on moving beyond threat-based reactions to embracing equitable, transparent, and mutually beneficial engagement, not isolation.

The @nytimes acknowledges China's achievements but hunts for flaws – like “debt” or “enormous costs” – to soothe its sour envy. At its heart, this anxiety is a refusal to confront real US issues.

Robust and vibrant tourism exchanges are built on a foundation of mutual trust and positive bilateral relations between two states. Given the Philippines' continued infringements and provocations in the South China Sea, alongside the persistent domestic anti-China sentiment, Manila's e-visa program for Chinese tourists will serve only as a symbolic gesture with limited outcomes.

Japan must recognize that it cannot economically separate itself from regional cooperation. The path that truly serves Japan's national interests lies not in being dragged into US-led geopolitical gambits, but in returning to a cooperative framework. Otherwise, Japan risks being marginalized from the broader trend of regional integration.

Perhaps the greatest security challenge facing the UK today is not the imagined fear of China's “enormous power over UK energy grid,” but rather whether its policymaking can free itself from the interference of irrational anti-China rhetoric.

Suppose the Netherlands truly seeks to resolve the tension with China over Nexperia. It must demonstrate genuine courage to correct its fundamental mistakes rather than merely offering diplomatic pleasantries while hoping the storm will pass. China is simply demanding that the Netherlands honor its own proclaimed values: rule of law, fair competition, and protection of legally acquired property.

This is deeper logic behind the rise of “Chinese standards”: They are supported by China's powerful engineering capacity, meticulous quality systems, and relentless innovation. Whether in high-speed trains racing across land, bridges spanning vast rivers, or spacecraft exploring the universe, each stands as a living advertisement for the excellence of Chinese standards.

Where public sentiment leads, the path is steadfast. The vow “Taiwan Must Return,” once again proclaimed in Silent Honor, will resonate so loudly that this thunderous proclamation must transform from a historical pledge into living reality.

Canada's federal government is now facing backlash for its decision to impose a 100 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). Ottawa's protectionist policies against China, taken in lockstep with the US, are undermining the very foundations of Canada's economy.

The two-party system in the US now resembles a judo match where both sides grip tightly. As of Sunday, the US federal government has been shut down for 11 days. In this “judo match,” there are no winners – only a wounded nation and a divided society.

The essence of the blame game surrounding why the “China spy case” in the UK was dropped is that for certain anti-China forces, the pre-established “China threat” narrative takes precedence over the “sufficient evidence” required by law. Their hysterical reaction to this case does not arise from any genuine concern for national security; rather, it stems from the fact that the case's developments have stripped them of a convenient excuse to amplify the “China threat.”

Genuine security will not stem from increased defense spending and arms acquisitions. The US-proposed target of 10 percent of GDP for defense is not only a financial burden that Taiwan cannot bear, but also a serious squeeze on the livelihood of local residents.

The US is urgently ramping up its missile production plans. The Pentagon, alarmed at the low weapons stockpiles the US would have on hand for a potential future conflict with China, is urging its missile suppliers to double or even quadruple production rates on a breakneck schedule, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday. While ambitious on the surface, the move exposes Washington's deep-seated anxieties.

When international audiences encounter the bronze masks of Sanxingdui, they're not just viewing ancient artifacts - they're expanding their conception of what human societies can achieve and how diverse the pathways to prosperity and cultural flourishing can be.

Hopefully, some European politicians and media can stop playing the role of "anxiety mongers" and abandon their narrow-minded perspectives. This mentality is detrimental to the long-term development of Europe's new energy industry and will ultimately hinder Europe's opportunities for new energy development.

China has always demonstrated its sense of responsibility through real deeds, and will continue to uphold the concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity as it works with other countries to advance global climate governance.

Listening to rational voices at home and seizing opportunities for pragmatic cooperation is the wise choice for Ottawa.

Through pragmatic innovation and international cooperation, China is accelerating long-term global sustainable development and presenting a path of green, shared, and cooperative development to the world.

The wording used by the Chinese Embassy in Israel this time is stern - not only as a condemnation of Toporovsky's personal conduct, but also as a warning to others who should see reality clearly, pull back from the edge immediately, and cease all provocations and opportunism.

Many hands will shape the Arctic's future, and China's early contributions, guided by principles of mutual respect and sustainable development, set an encouraging precedent.

Why do US media repeatedly play out this script? It serves as a political deflection.

Mere lip service to anti-war slogans - without a sober understanding of the war's root causes and historical lessons - amounts to superficial emotional expression

Currently, China-UK relations are slowly emerging from their low point and gradually improving. But what is the key to fostering a healthy and stable relationship?

History has shown that becoming a frontline base in great-power competition does not guarantee security; instead, it exposes a country to the risk of being drawn into conflicts.

While hyping the so-called role of third countries, US politicians have dodged their responsibility that the US and its allies bear for the prolonged conflict in Ukraine.

Cold war mentalities and one-size-fits-all development formulas no longer define the world. Real progress now depends on pluralism, adaptation and searching for context-appropriate solutions - even if those solutions, like the "Fengqiao Experience," come from outside the Western tradition.

For the Philippines, which is seeking to rapidly strengthen its maritime military capability, Japan's retired Abukuma-class destroyer escorts are being imbued with new imagination. However, the so-called talisman that the Philippines believes it possesses is, for the region, nothing more than a hot potato – an even greater source of anxiety.

External noises cannot change the PICs' independent judgment of who their genuine development partners are, nor can they erase the sound model of cooperation between China and those countries. Ultimately, it is the win-win outcomes of cooperation that speak the most convincing language.

Whether the UK government can demonstrate sincerity through consistency of words and deeds and truly exercise strategic autonomy will be the key factor determining how far this dialogue can go.
