After all, only by truly understanding each other can we avoid unnecessary misjudgments.

  • Pelosi's Taiwan trip may push China's reunification

    Pelosi's back-and-forth moves over the Taiwan question reflect US politicians' short-sightedness and the country's strategic bluff as a paper tiger. To a certain extent, the trip if finalized will accelerate the process of China's reunification.

  • Talking China down will again fall flat

    Recently, many international financial institutions have continued to downgrade China's economic growth forecasts. Badmouthing China is not something new, and China's economy is indeed facing a lot of downward pressure due to factors like the COVID-19 epidemic. But objectively speaking, these pessimistic opinions are based on either groundless accusations or exaggeration to deliberately create an anxious and fearful sentiment for global capital and exacerbate the fluctuation of China's economy and finance.

    For a long time, people's views on the relations between great powers have been deeply influenced by the realistic theory of international relations, and the media's reports on international news tend to prefer the contents of fights.

    The so-called CPC threat theory is an international distortion of the CPC system, and also a deliberate denial of China's development.

  • Why CPC's centennial is globally significant

    What gives the CPC life and energy is its political cognition and strategic determination that are highly self-aware, self-reflective, and self-confident. It takes stock of its political traditions and cultural temperament - putting theory into practice and taking root in reality.

  • Quixotic US paranoid to flex power

    The peace lovers of the world should unite to oppose hegemonism, promote genuine multilateralism and safeguard world peace. Humanity still faces threats to peace in the 21st century. Over the past 20 years, the wars launched by the US have caused huge disasters around the world. All countries have the responsibility to condemn the perpetrators of these disasters.

  • China's green development shows self-restraint

    Currently, China is restraining its growth through green, clean and low-carbon development. This is the new model of a civilization's rise. It is also a fresh evolution of world civilization. But I wonder whether Western public opinion can understand it.

  • New Edgar Snow is needed to understand real China

    Amid Western media's one-sided criticism against China, if some Western reporter could thoroughly examine why CPC has been able to stay in power for over 70 years, the book would have its value increase no less than 150 times in 40 years.

  • A fair look at risks China faces shows country's confidence

    The tense Alaska meeting is just a prelude to a seemingly much longer period of China-US tensions. Beyond this, there are many external risks to China's rise. A strategic judgment of these risks is in no way a panic and fear of uncertainty.

    By Wang Wen | 2021/3/22 16:23:40
  • China offers certainty during uncertain times

    US sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein wrote in his 1999 book The End of the World as We Know It, what we know in the 21st century should be more open than what we knew during the 20th century. If this logic works, the whole world, especially the West, should evaluate whether or not China, which has developed in high quality, poses opportunities or challenges over the next five to 15 years? Should the world embrace or reject China? Should the world cooperate with or give up cooperating with China? This will test the West's strategic wisdom toward China.

    By Wang Wen | 2021/3/15 19:03:40
  • US-China competition needs to be civil

    The future competition between China and the US should also be more civilized.

  • China keeps head high facing unprecedented challenges in its global rise

    China will not copy the old path of other countries whose rise rested on war, conflict and colonization. Similarly, it will not embark on an evil path of establishing an unequal financial, trade and economic system to bully other countries. Chinese diplomacy advocates peace, cooperation and win-win solutions.

    In the third decade of the 21st century, in addition to the 1.4 billion people market, more Chinese movies are expected to enter the top 100, top 50 and even top 10 of the world's highest grossing films.

  • Can China and US coexist and escape Douglas Paal's forecasted dilemma?

    Neither China nor the US can contain one another's self-evolution. There is no way for the US to curb China's development. China should also pay attention to US anxiety.

    In the past, most Chinese imagined the US to be too good; too perfect. But now the Chinese view the US the way it is: a possibly vicious, pretentious, and sometimes friendly adversary.

  • Overloaded West faces crisis of democracy

    Any country that is moving forward should find a balance between order and freedom, between power and responsibility, and between individual and collective interests. In a major crisis, the libra zodiac symbol of balanced weights needs to tilt toward one side. A properly chosen program should give way to effectiveness. Also, freedom should give way to lives. And arguments should give way to cooperation.

  • China's green contributions underestimated

    China's new development pattern has been established. Chinese people in the new era should catch up with the trends and go forward boldly.

  • Many hard lessons ahead in great green economy gambit

    Many countries have attached importance to clean development while striving to achieve carbon neutral goals. The goal of this green and low-carbon economy war is not to destroy a country or group. Instead, it aims to save humankind itself.

    I have always believed that the future competition between China and the US is not about setting up a new cold war or trying to win, but about who is more capable to create a better society and help build a better future for the whole world.

  • Why China takes humble rejuvenation road

    We need to look at the current challenges and opportunities with a mentality of battling in a protracted war. We must be more mature, not pleased by gains. Meanwhile, Chinese people ought not to be saddened by personal losses. This is a time to be down-to-earth, modest and prudent, in order to finally achieve the dream of national rejuvenation.

  • Is US a 'financial zombie' going bankrupt?

    It is not certain whether the US is bound to go bankrupt. But it can at least be said that the rapid fall of the US into the abyss of "financial zombification" under the COVID-19 pandemic is well underway.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/10/12 17:32:03
  • New worldview opportunities for China

    Chinese are gradually forming a more complete global view. More importantly, China is being fully integrated with the world (not just with the West) as a whole psychologically. China and the world are mutually recognizing, adapting and accepting each other on a global, not just regional, level.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/9/28 16:58:31
  • Tech agreement shows China-US entanglement no longer easy

    In my opinion, in the next decade or more, the frictions between China and the US will be normalized. The game is most likely to be an entanglement rather than a one-sided battle or a violent confrontation.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/9/21 17:13:40
  • Story of China's comeback invigorating

    Western media and observers tend to analyze a static China through microscopes. But when they realize China's cataclysmic changes over a long period, they are shocked by the enormity of the country and thus feel threatened. Such biases expose the intellectual inertia and ideological shackles of many Westerners.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/9/14 17:31:34
  • Media, think tanks must stick to truth, rather than ideology, about COVID-19

    Unfortunately, Washington refuses to listen. American society has been deeply influenced by the Trump administration, while US diplomacy and soft power have been destroyed by “the worst secretary of state in history” Mike Pompeo. If there is a new cold war or even a hot war between China and the US, it will be a greater disaster for humanity. Think tanks and the media all over the world need to find ways to promote China-US cooperation, rather than provoke the struggle between the two countries.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/9/11 18:13:40
  • West needs to change its China narrative

    For every foreign friend, it is easy to perceive the charm of China from the logical pattern of "development - contradiction - correction - redevelopment." It can therefore be seen that the outdated narrative about China from Western media and politicians may need a revolutionary change.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/9/7 18:08:28
  • Chinese view of Japanese PM shows seismic East Asia change

    China is not worried about whether Abe's successor will change China-Japan relations. As long as China continues developing, no matter who succeeds Abe, the general trend of a gradual warming of China-Japan relations should remain stable.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/8/31 15:49:46
  • Multipolar history is a lesson for rising China

    China has reached the "closest moment to the greatest rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." It is necessary for China to learn from the successful experience of the established great powers, regional powers, and emerging economies while understanding their current conditions.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/8/24 17:30:28
  • US-China hot war hype scary hot air

    Many Chinese people still feel anxious about US' suppression of a rising China. On the one hand, they have been mulling how to take countermeasures which will maintain the general framework of China-US relations. On the other hand, they also want to prevent the US government from playing the China card too hysterically. Hyping the possibility of a hot war hurts domestic investment, economic reforms, public's mentality and social stability of the two countries.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/8/10 18:04:10
  • Why China recalls 'protracted war' history

    In the current fierce international competition, a country will fall behind if it doesn't strive to develop. It will be a test of the sustainability of China's development and the CPC's leadership. This is why the decision-makers have recalled the "protracted war" history.

  • West should seek fair stories and modernize its minds about China

    The Chinese have the final say of what kind of a country China is. Western media might well be reminded that they should, and need as well, to report on China's changes with a more inclusive and open manner. Indeed, they might find inspiration and fresh understandings of China if they travel to Beijing's outskirts, to such suburban districts as Huairou, Miyun, or Yanqing.

  • US launches Scold War, not Cold War

    History shouldn't be written based on US politicians' lies. China has been left with no other options but to fight back. Since April, almost all Chinese media outlets fired a battle against the US government, especially against Pompeo, the true culprit of the decline of China-US ties. The scold war, a contest of truth and historical morality, is raging on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

    By Wang Wen | 2020/5/24 21:53:40
  • Never underestimate awakening of Chinese people

    After the 2008 financial crisis, Chinese people fully reflected on Western countries' economic, financial and political model under neoliberalism. They confidently found China's own advantages. The Washington Consensus went bankrupt in China, and the Chinese approach was often quoted by the world.

  • Trump team is driving US to 'failed state' status

    It's unthinkable that US media outlets would call their own country a “failed state.” The term was once used to describe US adversaries such as Iran and Iraq. The US think tank Fund for Peace started its annual report called Failed States Index in 2005. It has been renamed the Fragile States Index and is produced jointly with Foreign Policy magazine. It didn't take long for the US to be included in the index.

  • Post-pandemic may be more enlightened era

    Focusing only on one's national borders is limited. It's also shortsighted to play the blame game during a global pandemic. Infectious diseases are no longer a simple medical problem, nor a problem of one country. Instead, it is a problem of global ideology. When facing the spread of the Black Death, humans rethought their relations with the world, which lead to the Renaissance and produced modern civilization.

  • How can the US sell more goods to China?

    I want to tell Chinese people to have confidence in the country's opening-up. The more open our market, the more China will develop and the stronger Chinese companies will become. When China embraces opening-up in an all-round way, both the country and the world will prosper.

    Human beings are still on the way to realizing the prosperity of resources. It is thus too early to fully reach the prosperity of thoughts. The rise of oriental mind-set is only the first step on the way.

  • Small cities offer better insight into China

    I appreciate the international students who accompanied me. It is hoped that more of such opportunities to research small Chinese cities will be created for them by more universities. Chinese citizens should also look around in these small cities and learn more about the country, so that they can understand its difficulty of development and greatness.

  • How China can gain from trade headwinds

    China and the US signed a phase one agreement related to the trade war on Friday. It has been widely discussed who the winner is. According to the results of my research, I believe that China has not lost, nor has the US won.

  • What's behind the fear to criticize the US?

    If there are no moves from the international community to set limits on the US unilateralism, I am afraid all efforts to defend multilateralism will be in vain.

  • Hong Kong should be wary of US interference

    The third decade of the 21st century is about to begin. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area should be the fourth opportunity for Hong Kong. If this is true, Hong Kong will surely continue to occupy an important international position in the future.

  • Africa has a lot that China can learn from

    Chinese people need to completely change their view of Africa. They should show more appreciation to Africa for the help the continent has given to China in the past and the fact that it is still better than China in some aspects, so as to better tap the great potential for cooperation in the future.

  • Clout eroded as US shirks intl duties

    I think it's necessary to include something Liu once said that also applies here, “The world needs a new America. It needs an America that is free of prejudice and intolerance. It needs an America that understands respect, that matches words with deeds, that understands the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness. The world would be lucky if the new America could become such a country.”

  • Indonesia's potential can be harnessed with China help

    My arrival in Jakarta on November 26 was not smooth with two aborted landings and a diversion to Surabuya 600 kilometers away due to heavy rain. When the weather improved, I was flown back to the Indonesian capital. A friend joked, "You earned. One ticket, three flights." So there can be several ways of looking at something. The same is true of relations between China and Indonesia.

  • Ten misunderstandings about Africa

    For a long time, Sino-African cooperation has been supposed to be unpromising. Now, through reform and opening-up and sustained efforts of the people, China has reduced 70 percent of global poverty and established an all-weather partnership with Africa. Since the Belt and Road initiative was proposed in 2013, China's investment in Africa has seen a continuous rise, which has changed the pattern of economic cooperation between China and the continent. Such cooperation pattern will lead the long-term development of the world.

  • China's manufacturing needs to fight a protracted war

    Starting at the end of last year, the difficulty of achieving the “Made in China 2025” initiative increased, with pressure from the US trade provocation and the domestic transformation and upgrading upgraded. To get to 2025, eight years lie ahead. In that time, China's manufacturing sector faces a protracted war that's similar to the Anti-Japanese War (1937-45) it fought.

  • A common rise: future of Sino-Russian relations

    In sum, the common rise of China and Russia is the rejuvenation of peace and cooperation. Reform is an important guarantor of peace and promoter of cooperation.

  • Co-evolution: Future of China-US cooperation

    It is regrettable the US media and certain of its politicians persist in interpreting China as a zero-sum game and power politics. The year 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up as well as the establishment of diplomatic relations. Four decades of Sino-American evolutionary history has proven China a global force for the maintenance of peace with whom cooperation is worthwhile.

  • China should shrug off Indian scholar's slander against B&R

    At the end of 2017, Brahma Chellaney, an analyst at the New Delhi-based Centre for Policy Research, posted an article titled China's Creditor Imperialism. The article distorted China's image by claiming that it was aiming to shackle its partners with debt, forcing them to hand over domestic resources to China in order to pay it back. It also accused the Belt and Road (B&R) initiative of being a plan to achieve China's imperial ambition.

  • Chinese learning to act like global citizens

    The Belt and Road initiative has enhanced China's global influence and in turn reshaped the image of China and Chinese society. This presents a new mission.

  • Common sense needed to talk down to China

    Whenever China's economic indicators have declined over the past 20 years, people begin bad-mouthing China. There have been widespread claims that China's economy has stalled and its growth has peaked. The new round of gloom-mongering over China's economic prospects, along with weak external demand, adjustment of resource consumption structure and a sluggish property market, has aggravated concerns during the economic restructuring.

    Admiral Samuel Locklear (Locklear), head of the US Pacific Command, recently visited Beijing for talks with his counterparts in China's PLA. The military role of the US in the Asia-Pacific region has long drawn attention, especially since its pivot to this region. What will be the future strategy of the US military in the region?

    I had never thought I could be so close to Iranian Presi¬dent Mahmound Ahma¬dinejad.  The President, who is de¬picted by some Western media as the most dangerous man in the world, was not heavily guarded. Nor, from what I saw during my visit to Iran, does he forcibly control the Iranian people.
