The holiday consumption market in China has experienced significant growth, and Zibo's rise in popularity as a result of its famous barbecue and the bustling Badaju market is a testament to the country's economic potential.

Italian scholar Eusebio Filopatro (pseudonym) never expected his pseudonym would make him the center of a news incident. When the Global Times (GT) was maliciously attacked and slandered by certain Italian and Western media outlets for publishing his signed article under the pseudonym Eusebio Filopatro, while being accused of fabricating "a fictional character" to create "fake news," this Italian scholar was confused: Anonymity should not be an issue - you can use Google searching the key words "anonymous" or "anonymous source" and "New York Times" or "Reuters," and you will see that almost all Western media outlets rely on anonymous sources routinely. So why does the use of pseudonyms become a problem when it comes to Chinese media?

Suppressing social media app TikTok, banning the app from government devices, labelling it as "digital fentanyl" and a "CPC virus" - Sinophobia is getting worse in the US because some politicians and elites are taking every chance to spread an anti-China political virus.

The more tangible benefits that made-in-China and China's constructions bring to local people, the more popular the China-proposed concept of win-win development and cooperation will become in the region.

Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Saudi Arabia and his attendance at the first China-Arab States Summit and China-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit have made “China” a word frequently mentioned in the Arab world in recent days.

China as Saudi Arabia's main key partner is one of the Kingdom's priorities in the country's foreign policy and Saudi Arabia is very satisfied that it has a strong working relationship with China, said Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, responding to a question raised by the Global Times reporter in a press conference in Riyadh on Friday afternoon.

A press conference attended by Saudi Arabian officials including FM Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud will be held on December 9, 2022. Journalists in the conference room at the King Abdul Aziz International Conference Center are standing by.

China's intensive head-of-state diplomacy is set to continue in December, and this time, the focus of attention is Saudi Arabia and the broader Arab world.

Projects involving Chinese enterprises are seen in Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East. From the Mecca light rail in the kingdom to the magnificent Lusail Stadium, which is now the center of global attention as a venue of the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, these iconic projects are a microcosm of the involvement of Chinese companies in the region. As Chinese President Xi Jinping is going to attend the first China-Arab States Summit and the China-GCC Summit in Riyadh and pay a state visit to Saudi Arabia from Wednesday to Saturday, the demonstration effect of Chinese enterprises will surely radiate to the entire Arab world.

Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Saudi Arabia is a special event for all Chinese learners and enthusiasts in Saudi Arabia, as they have just received a reply letter from Xi.

Bali, Indonesia, used to attract millions of visitors each year from around the world before the COVID-19 pandemic as a globally renowned vacation paradise, is now gearing up to host dozens of special guests, as leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) countries and other world leaders have arrived at the island to attend the G20 Leaders' Summit from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said he is a "free speech absolutist," but he may soon find the grave reality that the US' absolute "freedom of speech" could be nothing but a pipe dream, as the freedom of speech in the US and West must be based on political correctness, and only on that.

The commissioning of India's first home-built aircraft carrier on Friday received pretty much flattery from the Western media. A CNN report claimed the aircraft carrier has put India into "an elite league of the world's naval powers," and an AFP article hailed it as "a milestone in government efforts to counter China's growing military assertiveness in the region."

On Friday, US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns slammed China for 'overreacting' to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reckless Taiwan visit and 'manufacturing crisis' in the Taiwan Straits, in his first TV interview since assuming office in Beijing six months ago. He said, 'The issue is - one government is going to react in an aggressive and violent way to disturb the peace? That has to concern everybody in the world.' He also claimed that China needs to convince the rest of the world it is not an 'agent of instability' and will act peacefully in the Taiwan Strait.

The more the US puts on a posture of supporting Taiwan secessionists, the greater the humiliation it will bring upon itself if it loses the war or has to retreat.

As UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet's visit to China's Xinjiang region is coming to an end, overseas scholars, especially those who have visited the region, called on her to resist pressure from the US and anti-China forces' latest round of disinformation campaign against the region. They pointed out that the US' contradictory attitude and attack of Bachelet's visit showed it's freaking out, as the big lie of "Xinjiang genocide" is "absolutely ludicrous" and anyone with no malice intent will have different views of Xinjiang than the US' smear the minute they step on the region.

The Global Security Initiative recently proposed by China has aroused strong resonance and support from the international community, and a security order that emphasizes common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security will become more popular with non-Western countries, which will serve as the biggest driving force to overthrow the unreasonable US-led order.

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had met with at least two foreign ministers from members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in recent days, as they exchanged views on China-ASEAN friendly relationship, regional and international topics including the Ukraine issue.

It remains to be seen what fundamental changes and far-reaching impact the Russia-Ukraine crisis will bring. But one certain thing is that with the East rising and the West falling, the existing international order has already started to change.

Monday marks the 50th anniversary of former US president Richard Nixon's icebreaking historic visit to China, which kicked off the normalization process of the China-US ties and laid the foundation of the formal establishment of bilateral diplomatic ties in 1979. However, on this day, the atmosphere in China and the US is very different.

Infamous US anti-China senator Macro Rubio is spouting his trademark nonsense again. In an op-ed for Fox News Friday, Rubio hit out at the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) for what he believes favorable coverage of China during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.

Most Lithuanian people even don't know where the Taiwan island is, but they will have to bear the risk of livelihood due to the government's wrong course on the Taiwan question. The anti-China foreign policy has aroused great dissatisfaction among Lithuanian people.

Two days after Lithuania asked the EU to intervene on its behalf to deal with the alleged Chinese political and economic pressure amid the diplomatic row caused by the Baltic country's relations with the island of Taiwan, the European Commission, the bloc's executive branch, on Wednesday put forward what it called an "anti-coercion instrument" related to what it views as unfair trade pressure. The next day, the EU confirmed it was investigating Lithuania's accusations against China, saying "if the information received were to be confirmed, the EU would also assess the compatibility of China's action with its obligations under the World Trade Organization."

Attacking China has become an ulterior motive of Financial Times influential women list. None of the Chinese figures listed plays an active role in China's development. It has no credibility at all, will only become a laughing stock as Nobel Peace Prize did.

The reason why the Communist Party of China (CPC) can succeed is that it has truly realized that China's modernization is modernization of the country's traditions rather than a process transplanting the Western modern stuff to China.

As the AUKUS deal has led to worsened relations between France and the US, Kamala Harris is now in France to mend the rift. However, this cannot solve the lack of mutual trust in the US alliance system.

In exchange of external support, the DPP has constantly sold out Taiwan interests.

After all, the US is a country that used “washing power” as evidence of weapons of mass destruction and launched a war against Iraq, what can the outside world expect from it?

The European Parliament has increasingly become an accomplice of the US in flaring up the Taiwan question and escalating tensions in the Straits. During the process, the role of a group of radical MEPs deserves attention.

No matter how the West hypes, China won't set its emissions reduction targets based on the West and the US. China's pace won't be affected by Western public opinion. When the West can do nothing to advance their climate governance and solve their problems, they can only resort to slamming China to cover up their deficiencies, a symptom of the “China-cursing addiction.”

Some senseless Australian politicians have been talking about a potential military conflict with China and pushing Australia to make war preparations. Hyping the possibility of war is easy for a reckless politician, and may help score some cheap political points. But does it make any sense?

The US would come to Taiwan's defense if the island faces a Chinese mainland "incursion," US President Joe Biden confirmed on Thursday. The strongest comments from the 79-year-old leader were believed as challenging Chinese mainland's redline and also deviating from Washington's "strategic ambiguity" on the Taiwan question.

I like to believe the American military is populated by sane people – we can't defend Taiwan, and it makes no sense to try and defend Taiwan, because it is a losing proposition.

"America is a rich country that treats many of its workers remarkably badly," said Paul Krugman.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and European Council President Charles Michel spoke on the phone on Friday, and they stressed the significance of increasing the strategic independence. Michel noted that the EU's stance on the one-China policy has not changed and is willing to manage disputes with China.

One day after Chinese war epic film The Battle at Lake Changjin about the Korean War (1950-53) debuted on Thursday, its box office has surpassed 431 million and broke five film history records as of press time.

France, as a country that advocates European strategic autonomy, has no reason to act as cannon fodder for the US to provoke China over the Taiwan question. But the planned trip only proves France's spineless diplomacy.

More efforts are needed to hold the US to account for the war crimes it committed in Afghanistan and other countries. The vast human rights groups and non-governmental organizations can provide extra help to gather evidence. They can also help guide public opinion to focus more on this issue to exert a certain degree of pressure on the US.

The EU has neither the audacity nor capacity to give the island substantive support and it cannot afford crossing the line of the Taiwan question.

Pro-war political madness will bring nothing but catastrophe to India.

Canadian media mostly turned a blind eye to the petition that demands Meng Wanzhou release, as if they dare not face up to the call for justice. It's time for the Canadian government & media to respond, or perception that Canada is the US 51st state will deepen.

After 25 million Chinese signed an online petition asking the World Health Organization (WHO) to probe the US' Fort Detrick biolab, a group of Filipino scholars, including political commentator Herman Laurel, launched a similar online petition on Thursday to break the wall of silence around the suspicious lab, with more ASEAN members expected to join.

scientists generally believe that solely relying on vaccines is far from enough to defeat the virus. COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted in England, but it's very likely they will be re-imposed again soon. As scientists have warned, the UK's policies will certainly represent a threat to the entire world during this period, as it will provide the ideal breeding ground for vaccine-resistant variants. The UK has become a stumbling block in the global pandemic fight.

Singaporean political scientist Kishore Mahbubani voiced his objection to politicization of the tracing of coronavirus origins and called for the US to allow WHO teams to access its own facilities, in a recent interview with the Global Times.

The Chinese ship has no intention to provoke Australia. But Canberra needs to understand, the activities of Chinese ships have become a new normal. Australia should learn to adapt to the new normal.

Obviously, Washington wants to drag China's Xinjiang into a quagmire that plagues Afghanistan to create trouble for China. Fortunately, this reality has been seen through by an increasing number of countries, especially Muslim countries.

Adrian Zenz has an obsession with making an issue of Xinjiang to earn "fame" and benefits from the West.

A team of pseudo-scholars called on Western medical journals to reject Chinese academics in the name of caring about Xinjiang human rights. They have politicized science to satisfy their shallow political vanity.

The US and its allies in NATO came to Afghanistan in the name of fighting terrorism and extremism and to bring stability to Afghanistan, but are leaving nearly 20 years later after they failed at both and with an attempt to shift the burden to the Afghan people, Afghanistan's former president Hamid Karzai said.

The real aim of the Human Rights Watch is to turn Australian universities into a haven for "Hong Kong secession" advocates.

Gayl told the Global Times he thought the open letter may be his “last chance to have any impact on preventing war,” emphasizing he is certain that he is now in big trouble, but he wants to do the right thing while still has the opportunity.

Can the US summon its strength and pull itself together? However, instead of mulling over how to tackle domestic headaches, US politicians and policy elites are more keen on shaping countries like China and Russia as enemies and advocating a confrontational approach. It's unclear how politicians such as Sanders can help correct the US' reckless China policy.

Franz Gayl, a 64-year-old retired US Marine major who is now working at the Pentagon, is under a counterintelligence investigation by the Marine Corps for his two articles published in the Global Times that criticized the US policy toward the Taiwan Straits.

China on Tuesday kicked off a major trade expo aimed at boosting trade with Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) with widespread participation by heads of state and businesses from the region, shrugging off recent disruptions and noise instigated by the US in Europe that has cast some uncertainty over massive China-Europe economic and trade ties.

The increasingly close China-Russia relationship is partly driven by pressure from the US. However, as Washington now has become more aware of the risks it would bring to the US, Washington intends to play tricks to create a rift between Beijing and Moscow. But the China-Russia partnership is strong enough and won't be easily divided.

As the world is facing grave challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, unilateralism, hegemony and a looming new cold war, representatives of Marxist political parties of some 20 countries discussed on Thursday evening via video links over how to promote the development of Marxism in the new era and how they can better work together to jointly cope with those challenges.

Some Indian media outlets and politicians are requiting kindness with ingratitude. They have slandered China's help, tried to play the Taiwan card, attempted to sow discord between China and neighboring countries, and devilishly spread rumors and lies to discredit China.

The US has taken a wanton and reckless behavior toward Muslim countries. In addition to stirring up Middle East region, Washington is withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan hastily and irresponsibly. Terrorism is no longer a serious threat to the US, but the 20 years of war have turned Afghanistan into a mess.

If the epidemic situation is hard to improve or the Indian people's dissatisfaction with the government aggravates, the cases that China-related topics will be hyped to divert people's attention will increase. Anti-China figures like Chellaney will take advantage to stir up more trouble.

US belligerence and obsession with hegemony have inflicted considerable pain on people in war-torn countries. Its troops are leaving Afghanistan, but the humanitarian disasters it has caused won't disappear with their withdrawal, but will only become worse.

Despite wide opposition, Japan has not compromised over its decision to dump Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water into the sea. China's environmental authorities on Sunday again urged Japan to rethink all safe ways of disposal to deal with the nuclear wastewater in a timely and transparent manner, while observers said that uniting stakeholders to launch a legal battle against Japan is one option.

China should proactively prepare a legal battle against Japan, as it will likely be the biggest victim if Japan dumps more than a million tons of radioactive wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, experts said on Saturday at a symposium.

Some Western media outlets and scholars, as well as some anti-China think tanks, also played an ugly role in fanning hate against Asian Americans. They spread rumors and stigmatize China over a broad scope of issues.

The police could have worked with the mourners to support a safe COVID-19 vigil. Instead, they disgracefully brought more violence. It's more shameful that there is even tolerance for such police brutality. The UK, once an empire on which the sun never set, is seeing its inner decay.

Zhao's case, in fact, is not an issue about censorship. It's about how the audience of her home country will judge her past comments and fame today.

China has been on an equal footing with the rest of the world. The West is bound to face a more confident and dignified China in the world in the future. It is hoped that the West could adapt itself to facing a growing China, and won't misjudge or deliberately twist China's development intentions.

The US is used to seeking interests through military interventions under the disguise of democracy, whether it drops military intervention or not, the country is only changing ways to realize its own interests. Do not expect the US to abandon its hegemonic habit of interfering in other countries' affairs.

Human rights are gaining more weight in US diplomacy, and this to some degree reflects the US' decline in strength. The US is in relative decline and the tools at its disposal against China have become more and more limited. The human rights card has been given more attention. It can be used to suppress China, and also unite its Western allies.

Banning BBC World News from airing in China is reasonable and the British media outlet deserves it. It must be pointed out that it's only one of the countermeasures China can take. If the BBC and other Western media outlets continue to go further on their way to discredit China, they will be met with more determined punitive measures from China.

China has sent the outside world a clear signal that it has zero tolerance for fake news Thursday by banning the broadcast of BBC World News in Chinese mainland. The decision comes as no surprise. For quite a while, BBC has been no longer a news organization that upholds objective reporting, but has degraded into a rumor mill with no bottom line. It's fair to say it has become a vanguard in the West in concocting and spreading rumors and lies about China. BBC also views almost everything concerning China with double standards. And now, it is paying the price for what it has done.

The phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden on Chinese New Year's Eve serves as a tone-setter for future bilateral relations in short term and shows that the two sides are willing to push bilateral ties forward in a more positive direction that can manage ties through constructive dialogue and cooperation. Chinese observers said the phone call, arranged on Chinese New Year's Eve, shows the Biden administration's goodwill toward the Chinese government and the Chinese people.

The stability of the South China Sea is not in the interests of the US, but it's what the regional countries need for the sake of their own interests. China and the Philippines shouldn't let small frictions affect the overall situation, nor should they give any chance for forces with ulterior motives to make waves in the region.

This is not the first time China has sanctioned US politicians. But it is the first time China imposed sanctions on the US side not as a tit-for-tat move.

Why has the US come to such a situation? Many Westerners attribute the current US crises to President Donald Trump and his administration. Such a view is too simplistic.

The US since the Cold War has been the only superpower in the world. No matter how hard it tries to portray alleged foreign enemies, no external forces can cause such a big country to collapse.

Western media outlets are too accustomed to using their standards and definitions to judge freedom. Driven by ideological prejudice, they paint China as an authoritarian and repressive country.

The obsession with the “end of history” prevents Westerners from facing up to their system's problems. It is very likely the degradation in the Western system will worsen.

It is costing the US' reputation and undermining its international status. It leaves the world with the impression that international promises made by the US are unreliable.

US politicians who introduced the Xinjiang resolution should stop expressing their deceptive concerns on Xinjiang. Their hypocrisy is disgusting.

Some Australian politicians think they could showcase their and Australia's political power by boycotting the Beijing Winter Olympics. But what they show is their political narrow-mindedness and surrender to the US influence.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the dilemma of global governance, the United Nations is still the most complete system in the international order, and international law the most perfect legal framework, China's State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in a keynote speech at an international forum in Beijing on Monday.

In Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, where desertification accounts for 43 percent of the region's land mass, local people have never stopped fighting against desertification.

Xinjiang has been a multi-ethnic region since ancient times. Many different ethnic groups have entered Xinjiang over different periods, bringing technology, cultures and ideas, folk customs, and other aspects of their lives into the region. The region's history is one of economic and social development through exchanges and integration.

Stable, improved lives of graduates from #Xinjiang vocational education and training centers counter Western liars. Thanks to the exploration of this new governance path, people there have been able to live and work in peace.

The practice of stationing garrison troops to cultivate and guard border areas is a tradition of China's history in developing and safeguarding its frontiers. The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), which was established in 1954, has since made strenuous efforts to fulfill the responsibilities of cultivating and guarding the border areas.

The US has continued the use of affairs related to Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to interfere with China's domestic affairs, as it proceeded with the latest legislation in the name of "forced labor" protection to sanction Chinese companies related to Xinjiang.

In an attempt to badmouth China-Europe relations, a New York Times article on Wednesday deliberately and maliciously exaggerated the differences between the two sides in terms of trade, Hong Kong, human rights and other issues. It claimed that "Beijing's hopes of using Europe as a counterweight to the United States have faltered" as country after country confronts China over the above-mentioned issues. It portrayed China as a nation drawing "growing popular animosity" from European countries and also stressed that "China's authoritarianism is fundamentally at odds with Europe's political values despite continued pledges that Beijing seeks peaceful collaboration."

Can the Australian government figure out what Australia's best interests are?

Vystrcil attempts to gain attention by taking advantage of the Taiwan question. He is a selfish politician that disregards his country's interests. China will not allow any force to interfere in its domestic affairs & cross its bottom line without paying any price.

Some Westerners and media disparage Chinese personal content creators, saying they are controlled by the government, largely because they are afraid of the improvement of China's soft power. They probably hope that China could stay backward so that they can always maintain their psychological superiority.

Let more Americans learn Chinese, then they will be able to tell right from wrong, and grasp the real picture of China that is completely different from the demonization in the election campaign.

It's not wrong for the US to make slogans like “America First” and “Make America Great Again.” What's wrong is the means it has adopted to realize these goals. “Make America Great Again” cannot be a one-man show. It cannot be separated from cooperative interactions with the world.

No matter how hard they try to throw mud at China, it wouldn't cause a substantial impact on China. China's development mainly depends on its firm insistence on the path of reform and opening-up, and the diligent work of the Chinese people. China will never pin its development on the policy change of a new US president.

The US will continue to make an issue of the so-called threats China poses in values and ideology to justify its crackdown on China. But the US hegemony can hardly be sustained in such a barbaric way.

Ironically, when Zuckerberg addressed Tsinghua University in Beijing five years ago, he praised “great Chinese companies” such as Alibaba and Xiaomi, and China's history as “a story of innovation.” But now, he accuses China of stealing technology from the US.

With the US strengthening its crackdown on China, it will continue to make an issue of the South China Sea and instigate others to confront China over the issue. But its goal cannot be easily realized.

The UK has taken a back-and-forth attitude toward China. It has followed the US's campaign against China. Why has Britain changed its course in such a short time? What should be a wise choice for the UK when pressured by the US to pick sides?

Although facing arduous tasks in boosting its economy, India has great economic potential. It's hoped that India could take a more rational foreign policy to serve its economic development. India's development will also be conducive to South Asia and broader region.

Verbal support from the West won't give India any real advantage, nor will it change the nature of the Galwan Valley clash. If India, deluded by Western public opinion, is stubbornly determined to act as a “wolf” that provokes China, China will firmly respond and won't yield an inch in safeguarding its sovereign integrity.

India, the largest democracy in the world, seemingly gets the support of Western democracies when there is a dispute between New Delhi and Beijing. But “the largest democracy” is just a label Western countries gave to India.

Australia, among other Western countries, always touts itself as country under the rule of law, yet when China tries to uphold the rule of law, Australia wants to politicize China's court ruling.

Ugly politicians like Scott have become the source of rumors and lies about China. It seems they would like to make false accusations against China as long as they can fool Americans, even if only a small group of voters, to gain votes.

Under US electoral politics, the Trump administration has no interest in hearing their voices or finding a solution to the ingrained social woes.

If the UK allies with the US against Huawei, that means taking sides between the two biggest economies and blindly following the US in a technological Cold War with China.

Now, it's impossible for the US to count on Trump's leadership to contain the epidemic. The inflection point won't appear until a miracle drug or vaccine is developed, or the novel coronavirus naturally becomes less infectious, or Trump loses the election. Before that, more Americans will have to struggle.

Like the Western system, the Western media has slipped from the moral high ground.

China's importance to Australia is much bigger than that of Australia to China. Australia should stop blindly following the US and make itself caught up in China-US competition. Many Australian observers try to convince China that Australia is not a lapdog of the US. But if Australia follows its current path, the conclusion is not convincing.

The effectiveness of China's epidemic prevention and control work has been proven in the first phase of China's virus fight. There is no doubt that China will sustain the anti-virus outcome, and achieve success in defeating the virus while resuming work and production.

The latest weapon by some Western media outlets and observers to politicize China's COVID-19 related donations is to attack Jack Ma.

Beijing has the responsibility to offer medical support to those countries ravaged by the coronavirus. Any responsible global power prioritizing people's lives would make the same choice as China.

Any claim that suggests requiring Africans to cooperate with China's anti-virus work is unfair treatment or discrimination is a trap set by some Western media and politicians who intend to drive a wedge between China and Africa. China-Africa relations and time-tested friendship between the two sides won't be disrupted by some malicious hype.

The proliferation of guns could be even more fatal than the virus. The US inaction on gun control and the green light given to the firearm business amid the epidemic fully demonstrates its disdain for the right to life – the most basic human right – which also partly explains why the US has so poorly handled the growing coronavirus epidemic.

Song Luzhen, a researcher at the China Institute of Fudan University, criticized the US side's groundless accusations of China's epidemic response in the joint statement for erecting a new barrier for cooperation. It enforced the blame game while calling for solidarity, Song noted.

Refusing the fact that Tibet is part of China, Rubio-like Westerners have no interest in knowing a real Tibet. No matter how hard they attack China and try to confuse right from wrong, different ethnic groups in Tibet will form a closer bond and the region will become better under the leadership of the CPC.

Facts and history will eventually prove China is on the right path of human rights development. Western NGOs will gain nothing from their accusations and smear campaign of China in the long run.

When my kid starts his school life, I hope I could be a mother who can stick to principles, support and cooperate with the school on an equal footing. I will show the greatest respect to teachers, and I expect them to do so too.

China must see through the US' real intention of escalating tensions with Iran and messing up the Middle East. China has urged calm as geopolitical tensions escalate in the Middle East, which shows it's a responsible power.

Mutually supporting each other in terms of counter-terrorism and deepening cooperation between China and Central Asia is in line with all sides' interests. The good momentum of mutual trust and cooperation won't, and shouldn't, be impeded by the US.

In no case should violence be tolerated anywhere in the world. This is the bottom line of a modern civilized society. As Hong Kong rioters have vented their rage at and attacked innocents, no excuse can exonerate them of the blame for violent crimes. Any attempt, especially by some biased Westerners, to defend them is nothing short of being an accomplice in the violence.

Believing their ideologies and civilizations were superior, the British colonists slaughtered indigenous Australians. They even thought the massacre removed the inferior people. Such an ideology of Western superiority was similar to that of Adolf Hitler.

There is a consensus in the US to get tough on China, but opinions differ on whether the US should resort to a trade war. The longer the trade war lasts, the more the US economy will suffer.

China over the past decades has cultivated generations of outstanding students for foreign countries, be they from developing or developed countries.

With China rapidly progressing in innovation and advanced technology, its capabilities of standardization have also been growing. This should be viewed in a positive light, as it could drive the standards in certain areas to a higher level.

Africa is no longer the colony of the West. African countries have the right to conduct economic cooperation with any country they want. The deepening China-Africa cooperation and growing Chinese presence attest to the success of the China model.

China and Pakistan are not enemies of India in countering terrorism. Despite the India-Pakistan dispute, New Delhi has common interests in fighting terrorism with Islamabad and Beijing. It's suggested India abandon suspicions and the three countries enhance consultations on regional security and strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation.

As Turkey continues to look Eastward amid strained relations with the West, China's peaceful rise and its Belt and Road initiative both provide Turkey an opportunity for healthy development. Turkey would be much better off if it focused on its strategic partnership with China while trying to gain realistic understanding of the Xinjiang issue, avoiding its Muslim leadership aspirations being misused.

The country's biggest festival is apparently losing its traditional flavor. Loss of traditions with economic development and higher standard of living is a reality facing almost every society in the process of modernization

Worries are rising that the US campaign will lead to a split of the high-tech world, which may have a far-reaching impact on international relations.

The ongoing visit of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to China, his first overseas trip of 2019, will mark another milestone in bilateral relations.

TikTok is an entertainment app for people around the world looking for fun and relaxation. When Tiktok is considered a new security concern by the US, isn't that a sign that the US is becoming too hysterical about China's tech development?

The development of the internet cannot be divided. But should the West view China's internet development and governance with bias, global internet development will be held back.

The Horn of Africa nation has garnered a lot of attention from the Western countries in recent years due to the establishment of a support base of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) there.

A constructive China-US relationship is in line with the interests of both peoples and the whole world will benefit from China-US cooperation. It's expected the US could work together with China for the greater good.

As long as China continues to innovate, carry out global and open collaboration and stick to further opening-up, it will provide the international market with more superior technologies and products that will benefit other countries.

Stabilizing politics and reducing partisan confrontation will help reduce the political risks Belt and Road projects face in Bangladesh. The most effective way for political parties and politicians to win support is not political struggle, but to improve the well-being of the people.

We need to prioritize the protection of legitimate rights and interests of workers and other grassroots groups and actively promote the cause under the rule of law.

In spite of external pressure from the US, we will promote reform and opening-up in accordance with our designed pace and timetable. In this sense, the significance and application of On Protracted War nowadays lie in that it has taught us to be persistent – in meeting our targets through continuous reform and opening-up.

China will never yield to such political blackmail.

Whether Google comes back or not is of little influence to China's future internet development, nor will China interfere in Google's decision。

Canada shouldn't have made itself an accomplice in containing China's tech development. This is no good to its interests as China will react powerfully to any efforts to thwart the country's development.

Today's France is more known as a country resistant to change. Street protests cannot bring the French people what they want. France has a glorious past built upon the hard work and spirit of sacrifice of predecessors. But the young generation is seemingly forgetting these virtues.

A modern country has to explore a governance model that best suits itself. Gun control is just one example. Government must take proactive measures to sort out entangled interests and advance governance.

The Western media always criticize China for lack of rule of law. But when China tries to hunt down corrupt officials and improve governance, these same media go to a great length to shelter them using the excuse of China's human rights situation. Their logic of human rights can hardly convince anybody.

Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic to Westerners, but it is just a work of fiction to Chinese and they are fed up with Orwellian style preaching from Western elites. This kind of conversation will lead nowhere.

Western accusations, formed out of either a lack of understanding of Chinese laws or deliberately neglecting China's own conditions, shouldn't influence judicial independence in China.

Those who are making an issue of China's religious freedom to create obstacles for the improvement of China-Vatican ties do not care about the development of the Catholic Church. It's believed the Holy See will not be affected by them.

Recent years have seen the Dalai group increasingly marginalized in international society with its separatist nature fully exposed. A growing number of Western countries have snubbed the Dalai Lama. It's hoped Sweden and the three other countries that the Dalai visits this time recognize the trend and follow suit.

The US, under the presidency of whomever, will take more means to suppress China. We must prepare for this.

Receiving higher education so far has still been acknowledged as the most effective ladder for upward social mobility. Those graduating from top universities, poor or rich, are more likely to find decent and high-paying jobs. But windows will certainly be closed if the poor students idle themselves complaining about the disparity with the rich.
