If Trump could balance different voices over China, it's also helpful for him to bridge a divided American society.
Even though there are signs of China-US trade frictions turning around, as the US political system will not fundamentally change in the short term, China must remain vigilant and prepare for a long-term trade war, in case the hawks gain the upper hand.
The trade war marks the beginning of the US closing its door and resting complacently on its laurels. It will also be the start of the thorough collapse of US global supremacy.
Accusing China of disdain for the rules-based international order cannot disguise the fact that China is not the side that caused and exacerbated the deterioration of relations between Beijing and Ottawa.
The issue of IP protection should no longer be a concern. A large number of innovation-driven Chinese firms are playing a leading role in different industries with no need to steal technologies. DJI's production line in the US is perhaps the best way to respond to the suspicion, so now the US can watch closely how Chinese companies “usurp” US high technology.
The West often exaggerates or fabricates stories to deliberately make China's internal affairs international. By doing so, it wants nothing but to make trouble for China and benefit from that at the same time.
We hate to think the worst of the US, but it is the country's own behavior that makes it a concern to the world. Its attacks against multiple countries have revealed its ambitions to control the global network. And its latest cyber war against Iran made it clear what the network controlled by the US looks like.
There have been some ridiculous rumors over the years about the BRI, such as the initiative is facilitating millions of unemployed Chinese to steal job opportunities from other countries, creating a debt trap and flexing its economic muscle for political gain. China must learn to clear up these rumors in a timely fashion.
The US has been creating tensions, irresponsibly leading to twists and turns in the negotiations.
If Washington adopts Rubio's bill and ignores China's basic patent rights, why should China value US patents?
The unilateral US sanctions cannot make Iran surrender. The best way is to resolve the crisis peacefully, not to impose threats and sanctions. If these risky moves eventually lead to a war, no country will benefit.
The riot in Hong Kong is taking place amid the escalating China-US trade war. This made certain Americans and people in Hong Kong excited, believing their opportunity had arrived.
If the US is not capable of setting global standards for 5G technology and not willing to help other countries build next-generation networks, the best choice for Washington is to take a step back and take care of its own business.
Hong Kong's young people, if you work as hard as your predecessors, your glorious expectations for the future are not illusory, but will fall on the land of the Greater Bay Area.
Pretending to stand on the moral high ground while holding on to so-called political correctness will cause Europe more trouble.
If Huawei is banned in Africa, African people will be deprived of their right to access the 5G network as soon as possible.
Modi's second term is a good chance for India. If he can grasp the chance and restrain nationalist sentiment to improve ties with Pakistan, it would be significant progress for the two countries and for the stability and development of the region and Asia.
The US is subduing China while simultaneously selling arms in the region and establishing a security framework aimed at China. Asia-Pacific countries should be vigilant in case the US' moves intensify the regional situation and seriously endanger regional cooperation – what they and China need most.
