The efforts of the international community cannot be undermined, and the US should not repeatedly abstain from voting. It has the capability and, more importantly, the obligation to steer the parties involved back toward the direction aligned with the international community. The primary gain for the international community from the passage of this resolution lies in confidence, as justice will ultimately prevail.

If the Five Eyes alliance wants to safeguard cybersecurity, they should not hypocritically accuse others while walking further down the path of smearing, spreading rumors and poisoning the world.

If the dangerous force within Japan is "unleashed," it will threaten the peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific region, but ultimately the biggest harm will still be to Japan itself.

The entire world – including the West – is likely to be highly dependent on Chinese EV's, solar panels, and wind turbines in the fight against global warming. Rather than acting in a small-minded and narrowly self-interested way, the West should be grateful and magnanimous toward China for doing what they have singularly failed to do.

The build-up of military power in the South China Sea will not only bring discomfort to ASEAN countries, but may also exacerbate the resurgence of the cold war mentality, triggering a bloc confrontation in this region.

If they are genuinely concerned about their democratic system being undermined, what Britain should do is not to go around with a loudspeaker looking for enemies but to earnestly search for and address their own problems. The enemy is not outside, and certainly not China.

Incidents of Chinese students being interrogated in "small black rooms" at the US airports are still ongoing. The frequent occurrence of such incidents will hinder the normal cooperation, and impede the healthy and sustainable development of China-US relations.

Both the producers and the media must be prepared for any public opinion and should not be arrogant. After all, television and film productions are made for people to watch. No one has the right to silence a portion of the audience after they have watched it.

The US cannot be a champion of human rights unless it is steadfast in saying and doing what is right all the time. This is the same country that is quick to condemn its rivals for presumed human rights infractions, but rarely asks, if at all, if its own moral compass is pointed in the right direction.

The US-Japan alliance is evolving into an axis of evil that will pose more direct uncertainty and instability to the region. The US and Japan strengthen their security alliance to deter China and plan for a potential crisis in Taiwan island as they say, but if a crisis truly occurs, the essence of the alliance will be fully exposed.

The US should respond to the expectations of the people of both countries through practical actions and actively promote local cooperation and cultural exchanges between the two countries rather than creating artificial obstacles.

This is the time for mankind to be united in condemning such terrible acts. We should not try to use this terrorist attack to split mankind into opposing camps. We do hope those behind this terrorist attack, directly or indirectly, will be brought to justice as quickly as possible, and their commitment to kill innocent people will be fully exposed.

The Philippines could find itself in a proxy war position. If the US decided that fighting for Taiwan island is not the way to go, then having the Philippines fight for the South China Sea would suit the US very well.

In the current situation where there is a lack of a unified international anti-terrorism front, the international community can actually start from the root, play the cards of development, cooperation, and harmony.

Those who disparage the Chinese economy in Western media often lack expertise in economics, while Western multinational corporations often view their Chinese counterparts with an open and mutually beneficial mindset.

US inhibition vs China openness

Under the leadership of the CPC, various undertakings in Xizang have led to earth-shaking changes, and people in Xizang have enjoyed their fundamental rights in all spheres. In particular, the development of education in Xizang has made important contributions to the development of China's education course.

It's important to remember that terrorism is our common enemy. If terrorism is the enemy of a supposed rival country today, it is likely to be our enemy tomorrow. Any country that ignores terrorism, the real enemy, will ultimately suffer.

The important thing about this meeting on matters of common concern is that when two sides are cooperating, they learn to trust each other, they learn to work together and that will be the best outcome.

The politicization of US military operations is further strengthened, and the joint operations of allies are significantly enhanced, according to the latest report on US military activities in the South China Sea (SCS) released by the Beijing-based think tank South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative (SCSPI) on Friday. The analysis suggests that there might be a proxy in the region, but it is unlikely that a proxy war will occur.

China is vast, and the Pacific Ocean is wide enough. There is ample space to support the mutual development of China and the US.

From the perspective of South Korea, making unilateral concessions will only make Japan act in a more arrogant fashion. Even though the two countries have to cooperate where cooperation is needed, Seoul must not waver in its principles on historical and territorial disputes.

By offering security commitments to Manila, the US has firmly controlled the Philippines, thus making the Southeast Asian country a screw in Washington's "hegemonic aircraft carrier."

The US attempts to hypnotize India into confrontation with China.

China and Australia should be good economic partners rather than political rivals, as the two countries enjoy all-round and multi-field relations, and their common interests far outweigh their differences. For the sake of peace, stability and prosperity in the vast Asia-Pacific region, the two countries ought to get on good terms.

China has repeatedly emphasized that the improvement and development of China-India relations are in the common interests of both countries and their peoples, and also contribute to peace, stability, and development in the world and the region. Both sides should consider the overall situation of bilateral relations, properly handle the border issue, and jointly maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas. At a time when the US is offering this toxic drink, New Delhi should consider China's words.

As the military leader of the US in the Indo-Pacific region, Aquilino's interpretations align with domestic extremism in the US, suggesting that he harbors extremist evil intentions inherently. Having such a person lead the US Indo-Pacific Command poses a potential threat to the countries in this region. He should be rolled out from here.

US' space demilitarization is an empty phrase."

In order to maintain its hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region, the US is urgently pushing for the expansion of pillar two of AUKUS. However, whether it is Canada or Japan, they will ultimately only become sacrifices for the US to expand its military presence in the region and defend its own hegemony.

The Arab world is already in the post-US and post-West era. The US will never again have the hegemonic position it once enjoyed in the region during the 1991-2013 period. Similarly, the European powers will never again have the dominant role they once had in the region during the 1914-1945 period. The two periods represent a fleeting moment and an aberration in the long Arab history.

The legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has been completed. Prior to and following this procedure, anti-China forces in the US and the West have repeatedly manipulated public opinion, denigrating Article 23 legislation and continuously disparaging Hong Kong.

On Monday, Vladimir Putin once again won Russia's presidential election, sparking a new emotional wave in Europe amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The US model is based on imperialism abroad and a parasitic form of capitalism at home. If their ego prevents them from learning the China model, Americans should go back to their roots and study the writings of founders like Alexander Hamilton and the classical economics of the 19th century. At the current trajectory, the US is on a path to implosion and a disastrous collision with the reality of a multipolar world.

Western democracies are becoming more and more like procedures, while China's democratic path provides wisdom for global governance in today's world that faces many challenges, said scholars who attended a forum on democracy in Beijing on Wednesday.

China opposes hegemonism and power politics, as well as the monopolization of international affairs by a few countries, and allows each country or group of countries to find their place in the global multipolar system.

The democracy promoted by the West is based on their value system and should not be imposed on others; they have no right to preach in this regard," Paudyal emphasized.

China's determination to expand high-level opening-up will not change, nor will its determination to share development opportunities with the world. The next "China" will still be China.

Washington's strategy toward China increasingly employs security and human rights as pretexts to dominate or exclude Chinese firms from the global market, including the US market. This strategy is becoming a clear manifestation of the capitalist mentality of "winner takes all," which exacerbates the inherent flaws of American Capitalism.

SpaceX's Starship rocket launched its third test flight last week and "accomplished several major milestones and firsts," according to the US company. This latest progress of Starship, the "star" of the global rocket launch market, has gained international attention and sparked heated online discussions in China, with some arguing that "the gap between China's spaceflight and that of the US has further widened" and "the absence of a SpaceX equivalent in China is the result of systematic problems in the country's spaceflight industry."

India has once again made dangerous and self-deceptive statements regarding the China-India border dispute. India's Foreign Ministry stated on Tuesday that China was making "absurd claims" over the so-called Arunachal Pradesh (China's Zangnan area), saying that the so-called Arunachal Pradesh will always be an "integral and inalienable part of India."

Following the US' hype about "national security risks", Canada targetsChinese cargo cranes.

Western sources seem hell-bent on constantly pushing the "China threat." Whether it comes from the mouths of politicians, the security establishment or mainstream media, the invective directed at China seems unrelenting, like background noise.

According to the Russian Central Election Commission (CEC), Vladimir Putin secured a landslide victory in the country's presidential election with over 87 percent of the vote after all ballots were counted on Monday, marking his reelection with a record number of votes. Before the Russian presidential election, no one doubted that Putin would win.

With each additional correct understanding of China and each additional rational and positive voice in China-US relations, there is more hope for the development of China-US relations in the right direction.

With strong support from the country, the natural laws of economics, and the collective efforts of Hong Kong society, the prosperity of this city will surely continue and flourish. Hong Kong has a huge space to maintain its own characteristics, and as a hub connecting the East and the West, it cannot be replaced by any other place, nor can it be changed by some forces in the US and the UK.

Recently, the tragic murder of a 13-year-old boy surnamed Wang in Handan, North China's Hebei Province, has sparked public concern about juvenile crime and triggered reflection on what the Chinese society can do to prevent juvenile delinquency.

The US incites the Philippines to stir up the South China Sea.

Recently, a Japanese media outlet reported that the tritium content in the liquid effluent discharged by Chinese nuclear power plants far exceeds the annual emission limit of tritium in nuclear-contaminated wastewater from Fukushima. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out on March 12 that the nuclear-contaminated water produced in the Fukushima accident is in nature different from the liquid effluent from normally functioning nuclear power plants, and they could not be put in the same category.

It is very encouraging to see that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Australia this week. With the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong's visit to China in November, this indicates that China-Australia relations are getting back on track fast.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken led an American delegation to attend the third Summit for Democracy in Seoul on March 18. According to the US State Department, the summit is essential because it "has brought together hundreds of leaders from governments, civil society, and the private sector committed to strengthening democratic governance, protecting human rights, and advancing the fight against corruption."

The reason why the "Summit for Democracy" has become a "chicken rib" in the US is fundamentally because the US has a wrong initial intention, using democracy as a tool. If it is seen as a tool, it has a limited lifespan, while democracy has no "expiration date." Human history has no so-called "end,' and the "end of history theory" has been overturned by history. The process of exploring the development path suitable for each country is still ongoing. In this regard, the US is also not an "exception."

Summit for Democracy exists in name only, with little interest or attention.

The third Summit for Democracy takes place from March 18 to 20 in Seoul, South Korea. Two years ago, the first summit organized by the Biden administration caused great controversy.

In a sharp rebuke of the US' criticism of India's newly implemented Citizenship Amendment Act, which excludes Muslim migrants, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar criticized the US' understanding of India's history, according to Indian media outlets.

Boeing, a leading global aerospace manufacturer, has recently been involved in a number of accidents, which are raising eyebrows around the world. Three months into 2024, various types of the company's planes have seen problems. These problems include a door panel blowing off, an engine fire, a tire falling off and a plane rolling off the runway.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi kicked off his visit to New Zealand and Australia on Sunday. In Australia, he will hold the seventh China-Australia Foreign and Strategic Dialogue with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong.

Russian President Vladimir Putin won the latest election, which means he will remain in power until at least 2030. Many Western media outlets claimed that this is a "nightmare" for the West.

The Chinese Embassy in Fiji stated on March 17 that China-Fiji police cooperation has been restored.

America is rife with gun trafficking.

India's general election is upcoming. The seven-phase general election is scheduled to start on April 19, and the results will be announced on June 4.

"I'm well aware of where China has been and where it is now. Over the past 40 years, however the West explains it or defines it, China has accomplished amazing things."

The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is visiting New Zealand and Australia from March 17 to 21. It is the first time since 2017 for the top diplomat of China to make an official trip to Down Under.

According to a news report on Breaking Defense, the two US allies of Japan and the Philippines are nearing important milestones in their plans to invest in new missiles that will extend the reach of their militaries in the Western Pacific. The first set of BrahMos missile systems the Philippines bought from India is expected to reach the Philippines by the end of March. Around the same time, 30 personnel from Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force are expected to receive guidance from the US Navy to operate Tomahawk missiles the Japanese government plans to purchase from the US.

For China and the world, the more fully, clearly, and thoroughly the CIA exposes itself, the deeper people will understand its true nature, and the stronger their ability to discern the truth will become. Keeping the CIA busy to no end or failing in their attempts is the best preventive effect.

The US government is pushing itself into a quagmire, demonstrating a high level of double standards and hypocrisy. This will be a tragic chapter for both the Palestinian people and Israel, as it undermines the prospects for lasting peace in the region.

China's legitimate actions to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea cannot be slandered, and China's determination to defend national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights cannot be underestimated.

Faced with a world in turmoil, the US should abandon Cold War thinking, stop military confrontation, bloc confrontation, and geopolitical games, and work with the international community to uphold world peace and security, which is the responsibility that a major power should fulfill.

Although China and Australia still have differences on some issues, these are not insurmountable obstacles. Wang Yi's visit is bound to inject new momentum into the China-Australia relationship.

If the UK wants to carry out visa restrictions and become more and more self-isolated, just like the Qing Dynasty, the boomerang of more than 200 years ago is now seemingly going to backfire on the UK.

US Firms Set to Invest $1 Billion in Philippines. The Biden administration is hoping to elevate economic relations with Manila to keep step with the recent enhancement of security ties.

It is clear that some Western politicians, vying for positions of power, distort facts and vilify the Chinese economy because they view China as an “alien” that does not conform to the West's path of political and economic development. This creates a simplistic narrative of "good guys" versus "bad guys."

All of us have to learn from each other and assist each other in the uneasy process of maturing as a civilization. The GCI provides valuable guidance on how this process of mutual learning and mutual assistance should develop further

Emissions don't have a passport. Therefore, it is important that clean energy growth is not only in the advanced economies.

China has repeatedly told the US that both countries should focus on handling their own affairs rather than shifting blame onto others. This is good and truthful advice, but unfortunately, the US seems unwilling to heed it. However, in the reflections surrounding Boeing, the American public opinion has largely stopped emphasizing the need for "shifting its domestic problems overseas in an attempt to find a cure," indicating that reality is the best teacher.

Boeing has billions in government contracts, supplies jets for world's wars and has iron grip on global travel - but with mounting safety concerns and a whistleblower 'suicide', is the Goliath company 'too big to fail'?

Japan and the US do not consider the real needs of Pacific island countries. The "free and open" mentioned by the US and Japan means that if you support the US and Japan, your country will be free, allowing the US and Japan to enter your country, so you need to be open.

Supplying arms to Israel while providing aid to Gaza—US humanitarian efforts in Gaza are hypocrisy in action.

It's very clear that standing beside Israel has become less and less of a popular position among the American people. This conflict in its brutality and the level of death and chaos that has occurred has shown that this is not an ally the American people want to side with.

The security of the waters in the Gulf of Oman is crucial to the interests of all countries and requires collective efforts to maintain. The Chinese forces participating in this exercise are from the PLA's 45th escort task force in the Gulf of Aden. China actively engages in international security cooperation and makes contributions, which demonstrates our responsible image as a major nation.

Many overseas institutions and media have noticed the recent rebound in China's consumer price index (CPI) and have positively evaluated the stabilizing policies implemented by the Chinese government. It seems as if the "warmth" of the Chinese economy has suddenly spilled over into other countries.

Truth be told, China is not very concerned about the improvement of India's military capabilities because this improvement does not constitute a trend of India's military power surpassing China.

The West has painted the construction of stadiums as China's smokescreen for siphoning natural resources and burdening the continent of Africa with debt. Nothing can be further from the truth.

The world will not be a safer place without the UN as a prominent actor. One can hope the American officials stop creating obstacles, so that the UN is able to carry out its honorable mission.

The US State Department is applying for a $40 billion budget to "compete with China" and to "change the game rules" in international infrastructure.

The expression "green and low-carbon development" has been mentioned frequently at China's two sessions this year. Looking ahead, China will continue to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, participate in global climate and environmental governance, and work with all countries for a clean and beautiful world for future generations.

The territorial disputes in the South China Sea are complex, yet they can and should be resolved through diplomatic means. Opting for an alternative course of action would prove disastrous for all parties involved.

The "witch hunt" initiated by Washington politicians against China disrupts normal trade order, infringes upon the actual interests of local communities and the public of the US. It challenges the intelligence of the American people and has also angered more fans of Chinese products.

Indian media and some Indian politicians have been intensifying their smear campaigns against China in recent years, often taking them to extreme levels.

What Egyptians and others appreciate very much is the pacifist and principled diplomacy of China, in the sense that China is a force of moderation, a friendly country that seeks to cooperate with others: former Egyptian diplomat

The world can no longer allow whoever has the biggest fist to have the final say, nor can we allow some countries to be at the table while others are on the menu.

The Xinjiang card some Western forces have been playing has never really been about human rights but an opportunistic, exaggerated and political campaign that comes and goes as a weapon to attack China on the issue of supply chains, justify decoupling and even product bans which are in fact motivated by protectionism.

The reason why some Western media outlets were keen to declare China's target growth rate as unrealistically high is because achieving it will destroy the remnants of their claims of “peak China” – the idea that China's economy has ceased to far outgrow economies in the West.

As an important moment in China's political life each year, the two sessions, while striving for development, are also increasingly demonstrating influence beyond China, providing stability and confidence for the world economy's recovery and open development.

American political elites cannot stand the global popularity of TikTok, which is beyond the control of American capital, as well as its leading role, so they want to take it over.

US President Joe Biden repeated the old refrain that the US wants “competition with China, not conflict” in his last State of the Union address of his tenure on Thursday. The lawmakers who applauded, and people worldwide concerned about US-China relations, knew that he was lying.

Openly robbing TikTok? American politicians have completely tarnished the face of the market economy.

The so-called human rights that exclude survival and development can only be describes as an empty slogan. We do not interfere with others' understanding of human rights. The US and the West should learn to respect China's interpretation of human rights.

China's annual two sessions have begun this week. This critical series of meetings in spring is vital to defining China's approach to economic, political and foreign policy issues for the whole year. It also offers observers a window into the latest ideas and practices of China's development in various aspects, including the whole-process people's democracy, high-quality development, Chinese modernization and the wisdom the country provides to global governance.

The groundless “presumption of guilt” without any evidence is still applied, and the utter violation of the principles of market economy and fair competition is being adopted.

The so-called “Chinese economic collapse” put forward by Western countries is completely incorrect, as they do not truly understand China.

The US' crackdown on TikTok tramples upon its First Amendment rights.

Under the main tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics is about to enter a new phase in which China can play a great role. During this process, the major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics will undoubtedly keep pace with the times, adhere to principles while innovating, focusing not only on providing a better external environment to facilitate Chinese modernization, but also on maintaining strategic stability and general peace worldwide.

The ASEAN-Australia Special Summit was held in Melbourne, Australia, on Wednesday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of ASEAN-Australia relations.

While the US claims that it does not seek to suppress China, it is preparing various suppression tools.

Victoria Nuland, the third-highest ranking US diplomat, will retire and leave her post this month, the State Department said Tuesday. Nuland has been a frequent target of criticism for her hawkish views on Russia and its actions in Ukraine.

In the fifth piece of the series "Two sessions inspirations," Augusto Soto (Soto), director of the "Dialogue with China Project," a Spain-based website aiming to promote a better understanding of China, shared his insights on Chinese modernization with Global Times (GT) reporter Xia Wenxin.

The US State Department issued a statement on Tuesday regarding the situation in the South China Sea, discrediting China's policies and exaggerating maritime tensions by claiming that it "stands with our ally the Philippines."

China's image as a peaceful and restrained major country is deeply rooted in the world. Only those with ulterior motives, who want to suppress China's normal military development and disrupt China's military modernization development in the name of deterrence, will make an issue of and point an accusing finger at China's reasonable increase in military spending.

On Tuesday, family members of the victims involved in the February 14 fatal boat incident returned to the Chinese mainland from the Taiwan island feeling disappointed. Despite 15 rounds of consultations, no one from the DPP authorities was willing to take responsibility, or offer an apology to the families of the deceased crew members.

The Philippines accused Chinese fishing vessels of using cyanide to destroy the sea recently.

Nobody who has watched British civic life in recent years will have been in the least bit surprised that a recent study by the country's Office for National Statistics (ONS) has found only 12 percent of the public trust their politicians, a spectacular low.

Approximately a fortnight ago, a large ro-ro ship loaded with more than 5,000 electric vehicles (EVs) from a port in southern China arrived in ports in the Netherlands and Germany.

In the fourth piece of the series “Two sessions inspirations,” Giancarlo Elia Valori (Valori), shared his insights with the Global Times (GT)o n the connotations of China's high-quality development and the inspirations Chinese modernization provides to other developing countries.  

As China's economy and public welfare continue to advance, the living standard of the Chinese nationals is bound to improve, and each year is anticipated to be better than the last.

At a recent session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, claimed there was a violation of human rights in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Xizang Autonomous Region.

The behavior of the US and Europe toward China's EVs is contradictory and ridiculous, they promote the development of clean energy while trying to prevent the public from purchasing the electric vehicles from China.

The current tension in the South China Sea is caused by the Philippines unilaterally changing the status quo and rushing to build permanent facilities to serve the illegitimate interests of some politicians.

In the third piece of the series "Two sessions inspirations," Elias Khalil Jabbour (Jabbour), Advisor to the Presidency at New Development Bank and an associate professor at the School of Economics of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro State University, shared his views with Global Times (GT) reporter Xia Wenxin on his projection for the outlook of the Chinese economy in 2024

Misplaced focus.

China's annual two sessions began this week. This critical series of meetings in spring is vital to defining China's approach to economic, political and foreign policy issues for the whole year. It also offers observers a window into the latest ideas and practices of China's development in various aspects, including the whole-process people's democracy, high-quality development, Chinese modernization and the wisdom the country provides to global governance. The Global Times selected the opinions of foreign scholars to shed light on these concepts.

Extreme egocentrism

This week, China kicked off the two sessions, one of the most important political gatherings annually. The event offers an important window for the outside world to understand China's development, and where the world's second-largest economy is headed and top policy priorities in 2024.

The US and its Western allies' relentless crackdown against Xinjiang's cotton industry since 2020 has failed, as the industry has been maintaining sound development momentum, and is seeing rising competitiveness not only in the Chinese market but also internationally, Liang Yong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and a member of the China Association for Promoting Democracy, one of China's eight noncommunist political parties, told the Global Times. Liang is also the director of Xinjiang cotton industry development leadership office.

We also hope that the Philippines' expression of "hope for a peaceful resolution to the maritime disputes with China" is not just a diplomatic rhetoric shifting the blame onto China.

India has long viewed the Indian Ocean as its backyard. This hegemonic mentality is the basis on which India engages with smaller South Asian neighboring countries. Since last year, India had been told its troops "cannot stay" in the Indian Ocean archipelago of the Maldives.

In the second piece of the series "Two sessions inspirations," Kerry Brown (Brown), professor of Chinese Studies and director of the Lau China Institute at King's College, London, told Global Times (GT) reporter Su Yaxuan that China's intellectual and cultural heritage is remarkable, and the West needs to understand and learn from China.

The 60th year of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) isn't easy. MSC Chairman Christoph Heusgen called on everyone to look for "silver linings" among the dark clouds. Indeed, pessimism is more likely to attract attention than problem-solving. Looking beyond Europe or the North Atlantic, China, a partner, a force for stability, rather than a rival or a threat, can help overcome the lose-lose dilemma.

Many scientists and researchers in the US and China are continuing to sit on the edge of their seats as they await the final decision on the possible renewal of the US-China Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement (STA).

Why did Sweden abandon its 200-year-long stay out of war and its contemporary non-aligned and neutral status, which had served it so well?

The second session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) and the second session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) will open on March 5 and 4, respectively.

The incident involving Lionel Messi not playing in Hong Kong has no impact on the city's plans to host mega events, as it is considered just an isolated case, according to a Hong Kong deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC) speaking to the Global Times. The city is set to host several major events to enhance its prestige.

"National security" is the most grandiose reason for the US to build a "small yard and high fence" type of trade and industrial protectionism, which has become the "conventional weapon" of the US strategy against China.

China has got a very unique and well-developed system of consultative democracy, which means that people can engage with the policies of the government at every level in society, and they are being consulted at every level, says Martin Albrow.

The US has airdropped humanitarian aid for Gaza.

The current South Korean administration has been criticized as lacking a sense of national independence compared to its predecessors, and President Yoon Suk-yeol's latest remake provides a clear example to this perception.

Using violence may be cruel, but it is efficient in international relations, in the eyes of cynical US politicians. Maybe from the US perspective, the world is one big jungle and “elephants” can reach for fruits however they see fit, even if by stamping on countless “ants.”

For Putin, it is better to hold nuclear deterrence, forcing the West to compromise or show restraint on key issues, rather than actually using the weapons. Once nuclear weapons are used, the situation will escalate, and the Kremlin is likely to lose control over what happens next.

What a bitter irony, building a wall so high and still feeling insecure - then dig another trench.

There is a country where politicians want to arrest and fine you just for wearing a mask at a protest, or send you to jail for up to six months for shouting too loudly at a public demonstration. If the police think your protest event is causing "more than minor" disruption, they can arrest you. In fact, there is a whole raft of legislation designed to stifle dissent in this country. It disguises this incremental form of repression as well-intended measures to protect public order and safety - but it is designed to protect only itself from criticism. This is Britain.

A collection of Western media outlets from the US' NBC News to the UK's Daily Mail and Canada's The Globe And Mail have hyped up a report from open-source intelligence firm Strider Technologies earlier this month about growing China-Russia economic cooperation in the Arctic. Energy and logistics investments are misportrayed as being driven by secret military intentions. However, the real secret intentions are those of the Western media, conjuring up perceptions about China's intentions in the Arctic.

We must firmly focus on doing our own things well, continuously strengthen the foundation of "stability," accumulate the momentum of "progress," and consolidate the positive momentum. The Chinese economy will continue to demonstrate its resilience, vitality, and potential, and will remain the largest engine of global growth.

Once again, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has demonstrated his naivety and strategic immaturity on the international stage, this time in Australia.

In light of the Chinese police cooperating with Kiribati, the US once again turned its attention to this Pacific Island nation, and "cautioned" countries in the region against assistance from Chinese security forces, according to a Reuters report on Monday.

Recent studies found that the UK now has the least effective 5G rollout in the G7 group of advanced economies, and London lags behind rest of Europe when it comes to 5G network quality. This comes despite the government having made an electoral manifesto pledge to make gigabit broadband available to 85 percent of the UK by 2025 and nationwide by 2030. It further pledged £5 billion to achieve these results.

Since last year, the Philippines has made continuous moves exacerbating the South China Sea issue. Just recently, on February 19, the Philippines and the US conducted the second phase of a third joint patrol. Then, on February 25, the Philippines Coast Guard accused China of jamming signals of Philippine ships at specific times during its operations in the South China Sea.

The economic strain felt by average working individuals in the Western world, particularly in the US, has reached a critical juncture, compelling many to reassess fundamental aspects of their lives, including decisions about family and pets. As inflation continues to surge, the financial burden on households has become increasingly untenable, leading to difficult choices and heartbreaking consequences.

Poisoning the ocean.

The world economy thrives when open and declines when closed. Safeguarding the hard-won free trade and multilateral trading system requires global joint efforts.

TikTok is viewed by many US politicians as a tool "manipulated by China." However, when it comes to politicians' own interests, it becomes a tool to get closer to the public, reflecting how utilitarian American politics is.

The US sees China-Kiribati security cooperation with an obvious bias.

If humankind is committed to its survival and prospering, it has to choose the Star Trek path over the Star Wars path.

While it is too late to save Bushnell, it may not be too late to create avenues and outlets for people like him to fight for justice in life, rather than forfeit their lives to shake the US and Americans from their foreign policy of death.

Where does America find the funds to support Ukraine so generously? Well, it all depends on how you crunch the numbers.

The theme of the MWC Barcelona is "Future First." To some extent, the further away geopolitics is from technological development and cooperation, the closer the world is to the future.

For the US, keeping building a "small yard, high fence" is not self-protection, but self-isolation.

At the Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken openly peddled his "table and menu theory." Perhaps the whole of Europe has long been a delicacy on the US "menu."

For the EU, returning to the path of peace and development is the solution to its estrangement with Global South countries.

The DPP authorities should understand the situation clearly and promptly adopt an appropriate attitude and take concrete measures to properly address this issue, giving an explanation to the families of the deceased and compatriots on both sides of the Straits.
