The US' malign tech containment against China is now reaching beyond chip factories and into the world's major waterways.

Ulaanbaatar is only the first stop. The continued development of China's aviation industry and aviation market dictates that the global expansion of domestically produced large aircraft is an inevitable trend.

This is the true face of the DPP authorities' "green terror."

Yet another political farce of "a thief crying 'stop thief'" has taken the stage. On Tuesday local time, the US rallied 40 countries to concoct a so-called joint statement on "notifications of ballistic missile launches" targeting China as well as a separate statement.

Ultimately, what Brussels should be doing is strengthening the protection of workers' legitimate rights and interests and promoting social progress and industry standards, rather than following Washington in turning "forced labor" into an instrument of geopolitics and trade protectionism.

So many people in China gather to sing in parks every morning, and some of those singers later go on to leave their mark on the wider world.

From the SouthChinaSea to the Taiwan question, the recent joint statement issued by Australia and the Philippines is a patchwork. Yet the more issues are crammed into the same template, the more glaringly absurd the patchwork becomes.

The latest lifting of restrictions on TikTok at the US federal government level marks another step toward normalized operations for the company, while simultaneously signaling that the world of the likes of Gordon Chang has once again collapsed.

What if these export controls end up harming the very interests they claim to "protect"?

It is not the majority of the international community that fears Chinese missiles, but rather the hegemonic powers bent on interfering in and dominating the region.

Recycled and outdated rumors, no matter how often they are repeated, won't stop the world from getting a closer look at China.

Former Australian ambassador to China Graham Fletcher recently wrote in a report for the Lowy Institute that Australia-China relations "remain fragile" and vulnerable to shocks. He believes that "stability will remain a goal, not a given."

Taiwan's DPP is using the vaccine controversy to cover up the toxic oil scandal.

What will tomorrow's cities look like? ​Glowing waterways, sleek transit pods gliding on neon tracks, and a digital utopia of glossy, frictionless perfection - just ask any AI to paint the future, and this is probably how you get sold the dream.

From chinoiserie to Chinamaxxing, the West has rediscovered China more than once. The first rediscovery turned China into an ornament. The second may yet become something more meaningful

While verbally proclaiming itself the sole victim of wartime nuclear attacks, Japan is, in reality, loosening its Three Non-Nuclear Principles.

Today, the attractiveness of the Chinese market to foreign investment can no longer be measured solely by sales volume and market share; it must also be assessed in terms of China's position within the global industrial innovation chain.

Over the past century, the narrative of global development has revolved around the Industrial Revolution led by Europe - exemplified by Germany-US economic and technological supremacy and the arduous catching-up efforts of developing countries.

Taiwan's DPP officials have once again had a meltdown. On August 9, Nagasaki, Japan, held a ceremony marking the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city.

The US recently imposed new tariffs on 60 economies, including China, on the grounds of "forced labor," and then added more than 40 Chinese companies to its Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List.

China's domestic capital market now has a basis for assigning reasonable valuations to companies, without having to rely on the “validation” of overseas exchanges.

European protectionist measures cannot halt the growth of Chinese electric vehicles in the European market.

Six months in, and it is not Iran's will that is running out. It is US missiles.

For the Global South, China's model of self-reliant scientific and technological development offers vital lessons in breaking away from Western techno-monopolies and peripheral dependency.

The US itself has long been a habitual offender of forced labor. It not only built its early wealth on slavery and the slave trade, using forced labor as a means of primitive accumulation of capital, but various forms of forced labor remain widespread within the country even in the 21st century.

New Delhi may finally be realizing that persisting with trade and economic barriers against China will neither secure industrial upgrading nor yield greater external dividends; instead, it risks relegating India to the sidelines in the global race for production capacity.

"China Cool" is not merely about escaping high temperatures. It represents a broader experience that combines comfortable travel, cultural discovery, natural beauty and modern convenience.

US economist Stephen Roach's claim that “the Hong Kong of old is over” reveals an outdated sense.

The DPP is aware that the Taiwan region's limited territory and lack of strategic depth - compounded by a severely fragmented defense industry - render it utterly incapable of sustaining a prolonged, high-intensity military confrontation.

Understanding Chinese aesthetics through White Rabbit creamy candy wrapper reveals the cultural confidence of an ancient civilization, the open stance of a modernizing nation engaging with the world, and the powerful yet endearing spirit of a nation on the path to great rejuvenation.

What is more dangerous for Taiwan region than an “internet shutdown” is losing sight of its governance challenges and cross-Straits realities amid repeated cycles of political theater and emotional mobilization.

Japan, wearing the mask of "exclusively defense-oriented policy," is pumping air into the specter of militarism using its defense budget as a pump.

US paranoid 'China shock' narrative ignores Africa's own growth agenda. If the US' Africa strategy is merely about trying to outcompete China for the sake of preserving American primacy, it will remain trapped in an anxious, reactive posture.

In the face of the rise of American AI, Europe is asking whether access today could become leverage tomorrow. Technological and AI sovereignty should mean reducing single-source vulnerabilities and expanding Europe's choices, not pursuing isolation or complete self-sufficiency.

Today is August 9. 81 years ago on this day, an atomic bomb fell on Nagasaki. The root cause of this tragedy lay precisely in the acts of aggression and atrocities launched abroad by Japanese militarism.

When viewed together, today's news stories reveal the two sides across the Taiwan Straits are moving in fundamentally opposite directions.

On Friday in the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey signed a major deal that is already shaking up global public opinion.

In the summer of 2026, "China Cool" genuinely became a buzzword.

On July 31, the US once again invoked the unfounded allegation of "forced labor" in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, adding 43 Chinese companies to the relevant "Entity List."

Taiwan's land is the home where its people live, not a stage for political mobilization.

NewZealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters got a slap in the face as Pacific Island nations did not reach consensus on issuing a statement criticizing China's missile test launch

The US' drive for "domestic substitution" is an attempt to reshape a supply chain that "excludes China," and is essentially protectionism and unilateral bullying. It should not only avoid underestimating China's determination and ability to respond, but also carefully calculate three costs: the energy transition one, the AI infrastructure one, and the innovation one.

China does not give lessons; China shares its experiences. And it is high time we #Indians learn from these experiences and set our own goals. China's rise should not frighten India into defensiveness. It should challenge India into ambition.

Those in Europe who advocate "using a Trade War to force China to the negotiating table" are simply offering a poor imitation of US tariff strategy.

If we want to understand the Chinese political system, we have to understand the foundation of it, says a Canadian political theorist. “I wanted to let the Western readers know that China has not just great debates, but also very diverse and sometimes very opposing and conflicting perspectives.”

The ‌US will announce as soon as Thursday a 15% tariff and a series of price floors on ​products made from polysilicon, the key raw ​material used in solar panels and semiconductors, ⁠according to four sources familiar with the matter.

For all their loud talk about “fighting to the last man,” the DPP's actions betray them as they diligently rehearse their escape routes during the "HanKuang" military exercises on Taiwan island. This proves that the DPP authorities know better than anyone else: pursuing "Taiwan independence" is a dead end.

For the US, the truly responsible choice is not to let anti-China politicians hijack policy toward China, but to return to a path of rationality, restraint, communication, and the management of boundaries. Whoever treats the Taiwan question as a bargaining chip or a stage for political posturing risks creating consequences that could impact the entire world.

China's countermeasures this time are generally restrained. If the US insists on introducing new restrictive measures against China, China's response will be even more resolute. China will not hold back, nor will it hesitate to take further actions.

The US was the first country to recognize #Brazil's independence in 1822. More than 200 years later, Washington appears to still have not fully understood what it means to “recognize” a country's “independence.” The US needs to recognize that the world has changed. GlobalSouth countries now possess an updated and diverse toolkit to safeguard their autonomy against US' hegemonic coercion.

The Economist recently published an article titled “China won't apologise for overcapacity,” like a political tool dressed up in academic language. If China's production capacity is truly “excessive” and “harmful,” then what kind of extraordinary power does China possess that allows it to win the favor of global consumers? The fantasy thought is nothing more than a fit of hysteria; and it is time to seek treatment.

The mango tree offers a fitting metaphor for Pakistan-China cooperation. Unlike annual crops, it demands years of patience and investment before bearing fruit. But once firmly rooted, it rewards those efforts with harvests for decades.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently added 43 Chinese companies to its "Entity List" under the "Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act" (UFLPA), with the move taking effect on Monday. The targeted companies include firms from industries such as snacks and dumplings.

The operations of Chinese warships on the high seas require no one's "permission" and tolerate no interference. So what if they “sail around Japan” once – or twice?

What the DPP fears most is ordinary Taiwan residents visiting the mainland in person – because the reality of the mainland would expose the lies the DPP has been weaving for years as baseless. When mainland visits by people like Chen Pei-chi multiply – from one individual to crowds, from a single trip to millions upon millions – the thin veneer shielding the DPP will be pierced.

A South African architect tells the story of his life as both an architect and a guesthouse owner in Guangxi's Jiuxian Village. “It's hard to imagine a better life and impossible to imagine better people.”

The fundamental shift in US policy toward China from "engagement and containment" to all-out "strategic competition" is transforming Chinese-American scholars from bridges between civilizations into targets of suspicion. If this trajectory continues, the very openness that once made US academia a magnet for global talent will be its own casualty.

The Japanese authorities' use of anime-style messaging to lure and influence young people is deeply troubling and shameful. It is a reminder that militarism never returns overnight. It often begins with the reconstruction of narratives, spreads through education and propaganda, becomes tied to economic interests, and ultimately transforms into fundamental shifts in policy and action.

When a US think tank's report frames the decline in the number of international students as a “victory,” what it truly reveals is not a “threat” from others, but its own anxiety.

With the booming sports industry and a more mature competition ecosystem, we welcome global enterprises - including Nike - to hone their capabilities and compete fairly within this "playground," continuing to earn the trust and affection of Chinese consumers through superior products and services.

Japan's continued overstepping of boundaries on the Taiwan question is no longer merely a matter of “excessive rhetoric” in the abstract, but rather a constant testing of the political red lines in China-Japan relations.

China offers valuable experience and an alternative approach for the human rights governance of other multi-ethnic countries. If the West genuinely cares about global human rights governance, it should recognize the positive principles and values embodied in China's new law on ethnic affairs.

Canada's Registry of foreign influence activities could become an institutional tool for some forces in Canada to fuel anti-China narratives. A system established in the name of preventing foreign interference could ultimately leave Canada more inward-looking rather than more secure.

The challenges facing the German industry are not merely a cyclical downturn in specific sectors, but a profound structural test. Simply blaming #Germany's structural difficulties on “China Shock 2.0” will not solve the problem; it may even prove counterproductive.

The US Treasury joined efforts in Tokyo to stem the yen's slide against the dollar, highlighting the broader risks posed by turmoil in Japanese markets.

As the volume of travel grows and interactions become more frequent, it is crucial to make the rules clearer and risk prevention more precise, so that lawful cross-border movement can remain smoother and more sustainable. Improving governance through more scientific and standardized regulation is what will allow China's doors to open even wider.

Guilty of eating sunflower seeds? The US sanctions on Chacha Food over alleged “forced labor” in China's Xinjiang exposes the absurdity of Washington's crackdown move. When the sanctions hammer falls on a humble sunflower seed, it reveals not strength, but the growing desperation behind Washington's China containment strategy.

Japanese right-wing force envision pushing Japan to evolve into a “world-class intelligence power” – an extremely dangerous political declaration. A country burdened with historical blood debts owed to its Asian neighbors refuses to devote itself to reconciliation and cooperation. Instead, it chases the status of an “intelligence power.” Such misplaced priority lays bare the deep-seated obsessions Japan's right wing has never abandoned.

The bickering among EU member states over the #Ceuta crisis reflects a persistent governance dilemma and societal anxiety regarding refugee and migration policy, which are bound to add fuel to the fire of Europe's ongoing political rightward shift.

The bickering among EU member states over the Ceuta crisis reflects a persistent governance dilemma and societal anxiety regarding refugee and migration policy, which are bound to add fuel to the fire of Europe's ongoing political rightward shift.

If some in the Taiwan region still treat “maintaining the status quo” as the end goal, that is not prudence but misjudgment. For the Taiwan region, what must truly be dispelled is not the expectation of peace, but the illusion that history will remain forever unchanged.

The resumption of #border trade between China and India is undoubtedly a positive development. But an approach of "taking small steps and moving slowly" is no longer sufficient. What China and India need is a strategic vision and institutional arrangements commensurate with their new historical standing.

Some people in Britain are talking with great alarm about the “second China Shock." Blaming China might make some economists and politicians in London feel a little better, but it is a mask for failure somewhere other than Beijing.

In the US, different bureaucratic fiefdoms pursue contradictory policies. Even Silicon Valley itself is fractured. The inevitable internal conflicts within the US China strategy are the root cause of its AI policy dilemma. Until that reckoning occurs, expect more chaos. The only question is: How much longer can Americans pretend that it can be managed away?

From joint exercise and CCG law-enforcement operations to the issuance of measures for nature reserve management, China fired three “arrows” in defense of its sovereignty over Huangyan Dao on August 1, leaving no room for ambiguity in response to the Philippines' provocative and unlawful actions. Anyone seeking to stir up trouble in the South China Sea and test our red lines should not blame us for responding firmly.

The “Han Kuang” military exercises are not a display of strength, but a form of psychological comfort. Such self-deceptive preparations cannot reverse the balance of power. When an egg collides with a rock, no matter how thick the eggshell is painted, it will never become harder than the rock.

China presents a universalist arrangement that is institutionally more advanced and fundamentally different from the Washington Consensus. China's economic model offers the GlobalSouth a pragmatic alternative for increasing productivity and strengthening autonomy on the international stage, says a Brazilian economist.

An entirely routine business collaboration has been twisted by certain US politicians and media outlets into "evidence" of endorsing so-called “forced labor.”

The Philippines' attempt to realize its fantasy of "occupying" Huangyan Dao by drawing baselines is destined to remain nothing more than a pipe dream.

The historical trend toward China's complete reunification is unstoppable, and the PLA, as a “steadfast bulwark,” will uphold peace, safeguard unity and help secure a bright future for national rejuvenation at critical moments.

The Philippines' attempt to realize its fantasy of "occupying" Huangyan Dao by drawing baselines is destined to remain nothing more than a pipe dream.

It is not hard to see that as China's sovereignty protection and maritime governance become routine, some people in the US are growing anxious.

Manila's delusion that it can simply carve Huangyan Dao out of China's territory with a scrap of paper is nothing short of a pipe dream.

What Taiwan society truly needs is not a fragmented understanding of isolated policy news, but a holistic awareness of the CPC's governance capability.

The PLA has made active efforts and important contributions in serving and implementing this initiative.

Saturday marks the 99th anniversary of the founding of the PLA. A stern warning is hereby served to those diehard "Taiwan independence" separatists.

The exact same technology has drawn two starkly contrasting attitudes - acting as a mirror that reflects the pragmatism of openness and cooperation against the narrow-mindedness of closed-door development.

If the US genuinely wishes to prove that it is not seeking "conflict with China," the most direct, effective, and persuasive way is to stop sending any misleading signals to "Taiwan independence" forces, and truly deliver on its commitment to keep them in check.

New Zealand foreign minister Winston Peters' recent racist remarks have given the world a glimpse of how concerning the behavior is among certain political figures in a country that prides itself on being "democratic," "diverse," and "inclusive."

Clearly, these senators are not serving "US national security," but rather the financial interests of their constituents' donors.

The Japanese government's recent approval of a new intelligence bureau and the upcoming meeting on July 31 evoke memories of WWII's notorious Unit 731.

The Japanese government recently approved the launch of a new national intelligence bureau and scheduled the first meeting of the national intelligence council for July 31. The date is particularly striking, as it inevitably evokes memories of Unit 731, the notorious Japanese germ-warfare detachment established during World War II (WWII).

For the militarists, “peace” is but a mask. If Japan's neo-militarism is left unchecked now, those gears will keep turning, and no one can remain a mere bystander.

Food safety is supposed to be the most basic bottom line of people's livelihood. However, as a result of the political calculations of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), it has repeatedly been sacrificed.

Brasilia and Xiong'an should become sister cities, creating opportunities to exchange experiences and best practices in sustainable urban development and improving the quality of life of their citizens.

"731" - a designation that once stood for the Japanese military's atrociously inhumane germ warfare unit - will become the "birthday" of a new Japanese intelligence agency.

The real issue is not what AIT has done, but what it is becoming - a variable that may disrupt the stability of China-US relations.

Taiwan residents can't express their dissatisfaction with the prolonged fallout from the "toxic oil" scandal and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities' ineffective governance.

Current Secretary-General António Guterres will conclude his 10-year term at the end of this year. Who will succeed him and lead this most universal, authoritative and representative intergovernmental organization has drawn widespread attention.

A Washington Post report published lately brought a diplomatic row between the US and Brazil into the spotlight: the Brazilian government denied visas to two senior US State Department officials whom the current administration planned to dispatch on a mission to cast doubt on the "fairness and integrity" of the country's electoral system.

Jointly curated by the Ordos Museum and the Museo Egizio - the world's oldest Egyptian museum with a history of over two centuries - the exhibition brings together 178 precious ancient Egyptian artifacts. Over its five-month run, this northern Chinese city has become a stage where the civilizations of the Nile and the Yellow River engage in a silent yet profound dialogue.

In his recent article for Foreign Affairs, titled "China's Moment of Weakness: Economic Decay and America's Strategic Opening," Logan Wright, a partner at Rhodium Group, articulates a perspective that epitomizes the prevailing consensus in Washington regarding China's economic situation.

Today, voices discussing peaceful reunification have begun to emerge on the island of Taiwan.

Western ambassadors showed up for the #DalaiLama's 91st birthday — the first time in a decade Nepal allowed the event to grow this visible. Why did Nepal's former PM and ambassadors protest? They warned that neutrality isn't lost in one dramatic collapse. It's eroded — one permitted event at a time.

The evaporation of massive market value due to an industrial report shows that Western investors' blind faith in the effectiveness of "blockades" has been shaken, and the US-led "decoupling" strategy has lost much of its momentum.

Whether Chinese people can still "afford eggs" is hardly something The New York Times needs to worry about from across the Pacific.

Throwing another couple hundred million dollars into the mix now will do little more than allow a group of bureaucrats and contractors to feast on another round of the "anti-China gravy train."

An authority incapable of safeguarding people's livelihoods will sooner or later be rejected by public opinion; a system reliant on monopolies to sustain its advantages can never hold onto the future.

While American unpredictability provides the impetus for South Korea, Japan and Europe to cooperate, the "China factor" is often leveraged to grant the effort strategic legitimacy.

The US military has paused its airstrikes on Iran, but whether this volatile and erratic conflict has truly reached a turning point remains far from certain.

At a moment when the world appears to be drifting dangerously toward a new era of confrontation among major powers, the telephone conversation between Brazilian and Chinese leaders on Monday amounted to far more than a routine bilateral exchange.

The US plans to investigate and sanction Chinese AI companies; China has responded by calling the move an act of "AI hegemony."

Apparently, in parts of the Australian media, even a jar of tomato paste now requires a geopolitical security clearance. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) latest Four Corners programme began with what could have been a legitimate investigation into food labelling, but soon converted an ordinary question of commercial compliance into another ideological attack on China.

ABC is welcome to keep rummaging through ketchup bottles, but the world will not reject Xinjiang tomatoes simply because of ABC's paranoid performance.

Amid the shared China-US consensus on containing "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, the disparity in strength between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits has become a foregone conclusion, and the process of China's complete reunification is steadily advancing.

CXMT's phenomenal debut sends a clear and strong signal to the outside world: Hard tech is taking center stage in China.

The image of Māori warriors paddling dragon boats alongside Chinese teams, and Chinese visitors joining in the Haka, lingers long after the credits roll.

Has Japanese diplomacy really sunk so low that a hallway brush-past and a polite nod now count as "diplomatic dialogue"?

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation(SCO). The Meeting of the Council of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the SCO Member States in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, has drawn widespread international attention, recently, and the 2026 SCO Media and Think Tank Summit is now underway in Bishkek.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's approval rating continues to decline due to the various measures she has implemented and various domestic issues.

Every day on the Qinghai-Xizang Railway is a challenge. Stretching 1,956 kilometers, it is the highest and longest plateau permafrost railway in the world. The thin air and low oxygen levels mean that locomotive air compressors frequently trigger overheating alarms, threatening to bring trains to a halt at any moment.

The spread of China's "next new three" across the world is not about squeezing other countries' development space, but about making technological innovation more accessible and inclusive.

On July 25, over 200,000 Taiwan residents braved the scorching heat and took to Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei, holding banners that read "oppose toxic oil, protect food safety," shouting slogans like "I am human, I oppose poisoning Taiwan." Reports of local media described this as one of the largest-scale food safety protests in recent years on the island.

That "ally checklist" Blinken waves around is less a solid bloc and more a leaky sieve.

Open weights or closed models? That question now sits at the heart of who controls AI's future.

A court announcement published in June indicating that Louis Vuitton (LV) recently sued a property developer and two property management companies was widely misinterpreted as evidence that LV had expanded its trademark enforcement from commercial products to architectural decoration.

On Friday local time, a new round of universal US Section 301 tariffs targeting 60 trading partners officially took effect, covering 99.4 percent of US imports. The measures impose a 10 percent rate on economies including the UK, Canada, Mexico and India, and a 12.5 percent rate on China, Japan, South Korea and Australia.

US companies sue government, opposing its tariff policies.

Xiong'an and Egypt's New Capital both have broken free from centuries of traditional urban evolution. They prove that a country can start with ecology, infrastructure, and public services first - then attract people and industries. Bold vision and strong execution are all it takes to build a truly sustainable city.

On July 25, a rally and march under the slogan “I am human, I oppose poisoning Taiwan” was held on Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei. What people care about is not who argues more aggressively on TV or who shifts blame faster, but a simple, practical question: What cooking oil can they safely use tonight?

More than 20 companies, including #Nvidia and #Microsoft, urge the US to support open-source AI models. The US' AI industry is now trapped in a deep contradiction. The AI industry opposes “premature restrictions”, but governments are seeking containment and restrictions. What is the cure for US AI anxiety?

Good news came from the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians: Chinese mathematicians Wang Hong and Deng Yu both received the Fields Medal, widely regarded as the top honor in mathematics - the "Nobel Prize of math." The news has filled Chinese society with pride.

The continuous advancement of a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability means that the space for the Philippines to fish in troubled waters is shrinking overall.

Industrial logic does not yield to political narratives.

This Manila meeting cannot resolve all differences between China and the US in one stroke. Yet it once again demonstrates the basic principle for how the two countries should interact.

To confront the crimes of Unit 731 is to confront the devastation that militarism once wrought upon humanity. Documentaries of this kind are, in many ways, an urgently needed antidote to historical amnesia – especially for the Japanese society that has been drifting steadily rightward.

Why are some Western media outlets so eager to pathologize China's Hanfu boom? They force every new development in China onto a self-imposed Procrustean bed of Western narratives, where anything that doesn't fit the familiar doom-and-gloom story about China's economy is stretched, cut, or simply reinterpreted until it does.

The world is witnessing “China support” rather than “China squeeze.” From sharing industrialization experience through BRI to providing open-source AI and increasing imports, China creates opportunities for developing countries — while some Western narratives promote the “China Squeeze” myth.

OpenAI models escaped, and US systems refused to help clean up. A Chinese open-weight model did the work. China's open-source models have proven themselves as security guardrails rather than the “threats” hyped by the US.

The World Bank warned that a prolonged U.S.-Iran conflict could slash 2026 global economic growth to 1.3%, down from 2.9% the previous year, while pushing global headline inflation to 4.5% and driving up borrowing costs.

From maritime traffic control, law enforcement at sea, marine resource exploration to military operations, China's rights protection in the Taiwan Straits is becoming a "new normal."

Japan, the nation that once inflicted immense suffering on Asia, is now using a "NATO goal" to measure its defense budget. Its swelling military ambitions are the biggest source of instability in the region today.

Okinotori isn't just a tiny rock – it's Japan's tool for illegal maritime expansion and a stage for right-wing political performance. While preaching a “rules-based order,” Tokyo hollows out UNCLOS island rules and steadily pushes military expansion. The Western Pacific has no room for this kind of theater.

The divide between "nuclear energy" and "nuclear weapons" reflects the different paths China and the US have taken in AI development, which ultimately stem from fundamentally different ways of thinking.

A bridge can be most revealing not when it connects two sides, but when it exposes how far apart they have grown.

Perhaps Xiong'an's experience can offer useful references for Indonesia's sustainable capital journey.

It is clear the Philippines is provoking tensions, and turning human lives into political props and ordinary people into pawns in a political theater. We urge the Marcos administration to abandon these reckless and low-grade provocations, genuinely value the safety of its own personnel, and return to the path of dialogue with China.

The World Cup party just ended – but the US' war hasn't. Confetti from the final was still on the ground when newsrooms switched from celebrating Spain's win to reporting another dead US soldier. The party is over. The war is not.

From “shero” to “zero”: Japan's first female PM's approval just crashed from 70%+ to merely 41%. A political Waterloo in progress. Is the countdown to the end of her premiership ticking?

“Hit first, cry victim later” – the Philippines' favorite tactic in the SouthChinaSea. An illegally grounded warship for 27 years, repeated incursions, and selectively edited videos… all while chairing ASEAN. This kind of rotating chair is simply unworthy of the title. Peace in the South China Sea does not need “performance art.”

A farcical “hit first, cry victim later” drama unfolded in the waters near Ren'ai Jiao on Monday morning. Two rubber boats launched from the Philippines' illegally grounded warship ignored repeated Chinese warnings and dangerously rammed a Chinese patrol vessel. Filipino personnel even attacked Chinese law enforcement officers with paddles and long sticks. After being lawfully repelled, they fled in a hurry. What's even more ridiculous is that after every provocation, the Philippine side edits videos selectively, distorts facts and quickly paints itself as the “victim.”

Papua New Guinea's decision to close the Taipei Economic Office demonstrates that the one-China principle rests on a solid international foundation and unshakeable legal grounds.

The legacy partnerships once built around natural gas pipelines, highways, and railways are shifting toward fiber-optic cables, green computing power, large language models, and fintech networks. The echoes of camel bells on the ancient trading routes have faded, but the new Silk Road, woven by AI, algorithms, and data, is more vibrant than ever.

On the eve of the China-ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the noise deliberately stirred up by certain Philippines military and coast guard forces in the South China Sea has become particularly jarring.

The fast innovation is not equal to "fast‑consumption."

The timing of Thailand's decision to reaffirm its ties with China reflects a desire to build a strategic “anchor” and signals a deepening level of political trust. Both sides are moving beyond a conventional strategic partnership toward a relationship that systematically intertwines their political, economic and security futures.

Jingye stepped in when British Steel was on the brink of collapse and attracted no other buyers, only to be repaid in what can only be described as a modern-day version of The Farmer and the Snake. If a country cannot honor its contractual commitments or protect the legitimate rights of investors, on what grounds can it claim to champion the rule of law or call itself a civilized nation?

China and South Korea's industrial chains are deeply intertwined in a symbiotic relationship. China's openness will only grow wider. Instead of worrying about being replaced, South Korean companies should view China as a competitive battleground – a place to find their bearings, identify partners and shape their future.

China has built world-class AI capabilities, and Uzbekistan's ambition is to become more than a consumer of these technologies. We want to serve as a regional platform for AI engineering, digital services and R&D, connecting Chinese companies with talent and opportunities across Central Asia.

The song Two Tigers itself is not strange; what is strange is the minds of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces who have become so paranoid that they see a "conspiracy of infiltration" in virtually any cultural content with a mainland connection.

As more and more young people in #Taiwan come to genuinely cherish works like Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting, this in itself demonstrates that on the island of Taiwan, the deepest connection across the Straits remains– a bond that no force can ever sever.

The ultimate question has never changed: Should technology serve all of humanity, or merely a privileged few?China has given its answer.

Jingye stepped in when British Steel was on the brink of collapse and attracted no other buyers, only to be repaid in what can only be described as a modern-day version of The Farmer and the Snake.

On July 20, several foreign media outlets reported a clash between Chinese and Philippine personnel near the lagoon of China's Ren'ai Jiao.

The success of China's large language model Kimi K3 has rattled some people.

The CPC's leadership has been instrumental in providing strategic direction, maintaining policy continuity and fostering a domestic consensus that China's future is inseparable from the world's. It is this combination of long-term vision and pragmatic adaptability that enables China to engage globally while staying rooted in its own developmental realities.

The louder the DPP authorities chant the “anti-mainland” slogan, the more clearly it will expose a fundamental reality: Those who stand against public opinion will ultimately face a backlash from public opinion.

At present, India is engaged in a deep debate over whether to recalibrate its ties with the US. At its core, this debate centers on a fundamental question: How independent should India's strategic posture really be?

Japan has continued to push for looser nuclear restrictions, with Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi calling for discussions on nuclear weapons as part of efforts to strengthen the country's so-called defense capabilities, according to media reports over the weekend.

The launch of the Kimi K3 large model bears witness to a "Chinese approach" distinct from the West's more closed pathways, adding a new chapter to the triumph of open-source principles.

We urge Europe to abandon lecturing and protectionism in favor of genuine dialogue and multilateralism. Otherwise, its "rules" will isolate it.

Hong Kong's mission amid the global sci-tech transformation is to become a uniquely valuable "connector" of resources, a "multiplier" of value and a regional innovation hub.

Recently, the story of a French man who spent around 1,400 yuan ($206.70) to buy a portable air conditioner in Shanghai and checked it as baggage back to Paris for his 93-year-old mother sparked widespread attention on Chinese social media.

According to British media reports, Andy Burnham was installed on Friday as the leader of Britain's Labour Party and he is expected to formally succeed Keir Starmer as the UK prime minister on Monday.

People can already drink robot-made coffee in Shanghai, while Europe is still debating whether China possesses innovation capabilities.

The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance opened in Shanghai on Friday. The creation of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO) was announced
