China should have more dialogues with Europe and make the latter believe that China is not a threat to regional security. Moreover, NATO is a product of the bipolar confrontation of the Cold War, which does not fit the current globalized and multi-polar world. China should support Europe's strategic independence to promote the world's multi-polar positions. The Europe should not be held hostage by the greed of the US military industrial complex.
The victim families want the trial of these soldiers to take place inside Afghanistan where the crime happened. We are condemning this brutal act of Australian soldiers.
India will eventually find that there is no room for its mentality of striving for sphere of influence to survive. Such logic will not be acceptable to any other country in this era.
Middle powers like Canada and Australia should have a clear picture of the logic behind the great power competition so as to apply appropriate strategies. They should also try to avoid frictions and spats with China.
If the US is afraid of losing its stature, nothing is stopping it from following in China's lead. America is more than welcome to use vaccines as a way to help some of the poorest countries in the world – not for isolationist purposes.
The West should take the latest incident as an alarm bell – when they smear other countries with baseless accusations, why can't other countries criticize the West or make well-intentioned suggestions for their misdeeds?
Despite different European stances, Germany's leadership in the EU has made it possible to raise much of its own agenda to the bloc level. Berlin can even shape the common agenda of the EU as a responsible leader. Thus, Germany's relations with the US and China will be of great significance and have a big impact on the world as it manages a deft diplomatic balancing act.
It is a 100-percent fact that Australian troops brutally killed Afghan civilians. Australia should tell the Afghans and the world how many people its troops have killed and how they will be held accountable for it. What's happening in the real world is much more brutal, bloody and frightening than what my cartoon shows.
Indeed, Canberra should apologize to the unarmed people who were brutally killed by Australia's elite soldiers, and to their families and friends. It should also apologize to the Chinese artist, whose work was groundlessly smeared as a “false image.”
London's endorsement of Canberra's bark is weak. It provides no real assistance apart from making a diplomatic posture. Worse, it is not necessarily real spiritual support for Canberra.
The Australian troop's ruthless, despicable and cowardly practice of ritualized murder known as the “blooding practice” is the issue that Canberra and the whole country should be “ashamed” of.
Morrison should kneel down on the ground, slap himself in the face, and kowtow to apologize to Afghans – all these should be done in a live telecast.
The “Asian Era” has started and will for sure have its ultimate arrival in the annals of history.
In South Asia, New Delhi is a hegemonic force that keeps small countries frightened. But such domineering behaviors are bound to encounter a dead end.
The US is at a crossroads with its domestic political and social divisions. These will set limits on any plans no matter who governs. But the "America First" policy has proved more harmful to the country than good.
Once the friendship between the US and its allies is hurt, it can be partially repaired. But it cannot be restored to its original state. The cracks will not go away.
The US and Taiwan's act will not have any substantial impact on the BRI, because their plan is not a substantial economic plan at all. But it aims to improve the so-called US-Taiwan official relations. This is the crux of the problem.
China has removed all remaining impoverished counties from the poverty list, marking a new starting point on the road to modernization as the country gears up to ensure the hard-won feat stands the test of time and people.
