"We have high expectations for further developing the ties between Cairo and Beijing."

With the visit of the Chinese president to Egypt, the shared desire to build on what has already been achieved and open new horizons for cooperation in industry, technology, energy, artificial intelligence and investment becomes even clearer.

President Xi's visit is set to further deepen the two nations' 70-year friendship into a dynamic partnership that brings concrete progress and shared prosperity to both peoples.

From the ancient Silk Road to the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road, exchanges between the ancient civilizations of China and Egypt have continued for thousands of years, enduring and renewing themselves with the passage of time.

Regardless of whether it was a mere slip-up, Real Madrid should delete the erroneous post and issue an apology to the Chinese public.

With the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway as an example, a new pattern of connectivity is taking shape at a faster pace.

The flagship project of mutual benefit is the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway. This is a “road to prosperity” that will unlock significant economic potential for Kyrgyzstan and the broader region.

Is the Chinese market no longer the "dream destination" for US companies? Quite the opposite - its appeal has only grown.

The so-called security "Plan B" pushed by Japan toward South Korea is merely repackaged militarist ambition for Japan and quasi-alliance consolidation for the US-Japan-South Korea axis.

The China-Egypt partnership is not just a success story for the two countries – it is a template for what South-South cooperation can achieve in an era of fragmentation and uncertainty.

Ultimately, it is merely an attempt by certain forces in Japan to leverage the Taiwan question to expand their own security and political roles, while the Taiwan authorities try to use external support to bolster their stance.

A nation that respects science will inevitably possess sustained momentum for innovation and a stable foundation for development.

The Bishkek summit sends a clear message: The center of international gravity is gradually shifting eastward. The SCO will not overturn the global order overnight, but it is steadily becoming one of the platforms where the rules of the new international balance of power will be forged.

Together, the two articles bear witness to a brutal reality - Hegemony triggers political "avalanches," just as a loss of reverence amplifies natural ones.

Guided systematically by the GGI, the SCO has continued to exert efforts across governance in three major areas - security, economy as well as livelihood and culture - making outstanding contributions to regional stability and prosperity and the improvement of global governance.

The global economy is under pressure.

It signals the decline of a development narrative centered exclusively on the West.

Grassroots health cooperation has already become a formal and stable part of the SCO agenda.

Whenever something goes wrong, China must be to blame. This eagerness to cast blame and pass judgment is nothing short of pathetic.

“China-Africa cooperation should embrace diverse development pathways. We ought to explore new style cooperation models for the Global South to advance the coordinated development of modernization and human rights.”

Google Maps' change of the name ''Lake Ontario'' to Lake America might be a small edit on a map, but it's still a hard note to an ally.

Following the rapid track of SCO development, the train of China-Kyrgyzstan friendship is bound to head toward an even more glorious "golden period."

It is a shared human risk. The Earth is not a pile of separate pieces; it is one linked whole.

Chinese companies are gradually learning to use US own legal system to contest the US government. Building this capability may matter more than the outcome of any single case.

The forthcoming Bishkek summit takes stock of the first 25 years of the SCO existence and paves the way to the next 25-year chapter.

For China, food is of paramount importance to the people. Fewer political labels. More irrigation, storage, seeds, and training – this is food security the world actually needs.

The US and Venezuela have reached a "historic" oil deal. But at what cost?

BBC, feel free to keep this new nickname, "BBC impartial." At moments of life and death, nobody needs you to manufacture "secondary disasters" with your keyboard.

China's new industrial era is not only defined by the magnitude of Chinese-manufactured products in use across Africa's farms, schools, roads, hospitals and households, but also by the deliberate effort to build Africa's capacity toward local manufacturing.

What the disaster-stricken areas need is relief, not rumors; what the victims need is respect, not exploitation. At a time like this, the most despicable are those demons hiding behind their screens, feasting on “buns dipped in human blood.”

A truly competitive EU should win markets by improving efficiency and innovation, rather than continually raising barriers just to prove that it still has “instruments” at its disposal.

The Gyirong mudslide serves as a warning not only because of its severity, but also because it exposes shortcomings in international cooperation on disaster governance. In the face of major natural disasters, no one can stand alone, and no one can respond to all challenges by themselves. Only through mutual assistance, coordination, and shared responsibility can more lives be saved.

On Taiwan question, Kiribati sets an example for Palau. As more countries recognize the fallacy of “Taiwan independence” and uphold the correct one-China approach, the space for separatist activity will continue to shrink. The ultimate collapse of Taiwan authorities' “checkbook diplomacy” is inevitable, and the bright future of China's complete reunification will surely arrive as scheduled.

Recently, a severe mudslide struck the Gyirong border port between China and Nepal. However, some “Taiwan independence” separatist forces have turned the natural disaster into a tool for political manipulation, exploiting the tragedy to advance divisive agendas and shamelessly “profiting from human suffering.”

China and Switzerland concluded negotiations on the enhancement of their Free Trade Agreement recently. Just as some governments around the world are discussing how to mitigate risks and shield domestic industries, the two countries have chosen a different path: further lower trade barriers, expand market access and make a clear case for openness, cooperation and free trade. This choice is worth pausing over.

Japan has discharged nuclear-contaminated water for three years, while calling for others' immediate lifting of restrictions on food imports from Japan.

Cybersecurity is a global issue. Instead of repeatedly putting on a “thief crying 'thief'” act, the US should first put its own cyber activities in order.

We respect nature because mountains and rivers must never be taken lightly.

As the trade war between the US and Canada escalates, some US media outlets are already rushing to turn their sights on China.

The fact that a US tech giant is paying a Chinese company that Washington has placed on its "Entity List" to license the latter's technology alone is enough to render the clamorous "decoupling" rhetoric within the US utterly hollow.

Chinese people are no longer afraid of robots making fools of themselves. Not because they're perfect – because we understand how tech actually grows.

Signed on August 30, 1951, the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty will mark its 75th anniversary later this month. In recent years, the administration of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has, under the banner of "military modernization," continuously expanded military cooperation with the US through a series of bilateral defense agreements centered on the treaty.

Zimbabwean Minister calls for stronger China-Africa media cooperation to put Africa's development, innovation and achievements in the spotlight.

ome Western countries approach human rights in a narrow, one-dimensional way. They prioritize individual political rights at the cost of collective rights and the right to development. Development should not be a privilege reserved for a small number of countries and elites.

The year 2026 marks the 34th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. Over the past three decades and more, the two countries have steadily cultivated a path of good-neighborly friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation.

US military power is penetrating ever deeper into the Philippines' economic sphere, and US intelligence agencies make no secret of viewing the country as a forward node in the US' strategic competition with China.

For Taiwan to escape this "low-IQ cycle," it does not need more restrictions, but greater openness, exchange and a return to reality. Visit Beijing and you will know whether people have refrigerators. Come and visit Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chongqing, and Chengdu to see the real lives of ordinary people on the mainland.

The so-called "Oriental Shield 26," a Japan-US-Australia joint military exercise, serves as a textbook case of how large-scale bloc-style military drills are being rebranded as "cooperation," while injecting confrontation, forward-deployed firepower, and bloc politics into an already fragile Asia-Pacific security environment.

Chinese Embassy in Panama mocks US smears against Chinese tech firms, saying that some even suspect a listening device in a shaomai dumpling

It is obvious that the upcoming BRICS Summit in New Delhi, India, serves as a sharp strategic wake-up call to the West. Over the past 25 years, perceptions of the Western elites regarding BRICS have been plagued by deep-seated cognitive misalignments.

From here on, every dialogue and every round of talks between China and India will be redefined within a new, more enduring strategic environment.

The challenge facing the global green transition is that Western countries are once again prioritizing their own self-interests. When climate considerations, economic calculations and political interests are all placed on the desks of Western leaders, their choices tend to be driven by calculations of their own political gains and losses.

Rather than using sensational metaphors such as "Trojan horse" or "fire horse" to inflame tensions, the US should adopt a more rational approach to the economic relationship between the two countries.

A Chinese student went missing in South Korea and was later found dead. The news hits hard. The recurring tragedies of Chinese citizens encountering danger or death overseas once again underscore the necessity of strengthening safety safeguards.

Canada is set to fight back the US by announcing retaliatory tariffs.

Liao Mei-ran, a "fortune teller" on the island of Taiwan, recently made the absurd claim that "people in Beijing don't have refrigerators" on a pro-independence political talk show.

The development of China-US relations has reached a point where, on the surface, the contradictions stem from clashes of interests, competition for relative strength, and differences in values. But at a deeper level, and perhaps more dangerously, one of the key problems is that the two sides suffer from serious misperceptions

Recently, a Western scholar published a commentary in Singapore's The Straits Times arguing that China has broken the "flying geese model," under which advanced countries transfer labor-intensive industries to late-developing countries.

Comparing an illegal unilateral sanctions campaign with no basis in international law and no authorization from the UN Security Council to the allied landing in Normandy, one of the defining battles of the anti-fascist war, is an absurd analogy. Forcing a stalled military conflict into the arena of economic confrontation only underscores how few cards the US has left to play.

Right now, many within the US political elite - almost all of them on the right of the political spectrum - should not be banging freedom's drum and touting their belief in humanitarianism.

The whole world sat up and took notice when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pulled out of trade talks with the US, with reports suggesting that Canada is set to announce retaliatory tariffs against the US on Tuesday.

Recently, the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) published a report entitled "As Tokyo and Manila Talk Boundaries, Beijing Breaks Them."

Recently, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated that "Taiwan is part of China" during an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera. His remarks on the Taiwan question quickly sent ripples through international public opinion.

Several US media outlets recently reported that Nvidia is spending $6 billion to build one of the world's most powerful open-weight AI models, in a bid to compete with Chinese heavyweight models such as DeepSeek and Kimi K3.

According to Dutch media reports, Washington is preparing to force the Netherlands to ban the lithography giant ASML from exporting almost any chip-making machines to China.

The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting on July 30 to make arrangements for economic work in the second half of this year, making it clear there is a need to promote sustained innovation-driven, high-quality and sound economic development

US-Canada trade talks collapsed recently. Washington imposed a 50 percent tariff on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, and Ottawa swiftly announced dollar-for-dollar retaliatory measures.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi took to X to discuss her life after moving into the Prime Minister's Official Residence. She recounted an instance when she screamed after a cockroach scuttled off her foot. However, she emphasized that, influenced by the concept of reincarnation in Osamu Tezuka's manga Phoenix, she said "I cannot bring myself to kill insects, including cockroaches."

The Second Ministerial Meeting of China-Indonesia Joint Foreign and Defense Ministerial Dialogue was held in Jakarta on Friday. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Defense Minister Dong Jun co-chaired the meeting with Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono and Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sees only the result – a decline in her approval ratings – but refuses to acknowledge that the cause lies in her own gradual erosion of trust.

In the face of Washington's tariff stick, Canada has launched a "Chinese-styled counterattack." As one of America's former closest allies, Canada's move reflects an increasingly clear consensus: No country has the privilege to monopolize the rules or dictate the fate of others.

In recent years, China's fertility support policy system has been taking shape at a faster pace. It is undergoing an important transition - from local pilots to a nationwide institutional framework, and from single-measure support to systematic support.

In the first half of this year, China's economy advanced under pressure and maintained an overall steady trajectory of development oriented toward the new and the better. The gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.7 percent year-on-year.

Nagatanien, a well-known Japanese food brand, was recently found to have its miso soup products actually produced in China.

Retired American teacher Ronald Sakolsky, who previously supported China's efforts to combat desertification, arrived in Beijing on Sunday for a visit aimed at reconnecting and strengthening his friendship with the Chinese people, a bond that first began over twenty years ago.

The value of China's recent robotics events lies less in a single headline-grabbing performance than in the industrial system behind it.

Amid widespread anticipation of a potential summit between the Chinese and US heads of state this September, the US military has once again sought to assert its presence in the Taiwan Straits.

The story of Sakolsky and Yin is also a mirror. If two ordinary people who were complete strangers could cooperate to plant 50,000 trees, then the value that more people and broader cooperation can create is immeasurable.

China no longer competes solely with traditional manufacturing. Electric vehicles, batteries, and photovoltaic products symbolize a new era that forces Europe to resolve a dilemma: How to leverage more affordable technologies without abandoning the development of its own future technologies.

Amid widespread anticipation of a potential summit between the Chinese and US heads of state this September, the US military has once again sought to assert its presence in the Taiwan Straits. According to Reuters, a US Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft flew through the Taiwan Straits on Friday.

According to media reports on August 20, in response to the confiscation of a ZXMOTO motorcycle in the Taiwan region, Zhang Xue, founder of the brand, said in a video that if the motorcycle could not be retrieved, he would send another one. If the next motorcycle is confiscated again, he would keep sending more - "until reunification."

The so-called “economic D-Day” operation is less a new offensive launched by the US against Iran than it is yet another attempt by Washington to cut its losses as quickly as possible and extricate itself from the quagmire of the Middle East – a move to change tactics and keep gambling after military means have proven ineffective.

Why did Lai Ching-te go to such great lengths to dredge up these so-called “CPC secret directives”? Because the common sense that “even a three-year-old knows” can no longer deliver electoral shock value; only by twisting ordinary cross-Strait political risks into mysterious and inscrutable “secret directives” can they rapidly stoke anxiety among their supporters.

There can never be too many documentaries like Singapore's Inside Unit 731: Japan's Secret Human Experiments. Once again, the fig‑leaf shielding Japanese Right-wing forces has been torn away. A solid international body of evidence has completely shattered their lies.

Recycled “China threat” stories do nothing for the South China Sea's future. Those who habitually view China through a military prism should examine their own policies and military footprint in the region before pointing the finger.

It is the US itself that truly needs profound reform and opening-up.

The heavy price Panama is paying has bought it little more than the role of counting money for others.

Australia's new ambassador to Japan Andrew Shearer seems to have taken on a job far bigger than managing ties with Tokyo: he is busy pitching a new "Indo-Pacific" network to counter China.

The increased military cooperation between the US and the Philippines has raised concerns among countries in the region.

While the island's local politics still indulge in empty slogans, superficial packaging and manufactured confrontation, the international community's adherence to the one-China principle is becoming clearer and more solidified.

A crucial detail of Koizumi's trip warrants attention: For Japanese strategists, Australia and India are not just conventional allies, but the long-consoled contingency plan should the US withdraw from the Asia-Pacific.

Some voices in the US discussed the concept of "China's neutrality trap" and implied that it can't be accepted if US companies want to keep good relations with both China and the US. Some even argued that US companies need to pick a side, either the US or China. What a ridiculous logic.

When Brazil comes to mind for most Chinese, the first image that flickers is always the fluid, poetic grace of samba football. The iconic yellow-and-green jerseys gliding across the pitch, the seamless footwork that flows like a river finding its course - these have long been the most deeply etched cultural signature of this South American country.

The "Needham Question" prompts reflection on history, and the "Qian Xuesen Question" articulates expectations regarding talent, while the reverse of the "Needham Question" illustrates the reality of China's renewed scientific and technological journey.

While Western public discourse is still endlessly debating the pros and cons of different robotics paths, China, focused on "running its own affairs well," has already moved ahead.

China's three consecutive months of $100 billion-plus trade surplus is mainly attributable to a combination of rising export values and falling import costs.

The core value of Macao's Third Five-Year Plan is that it marks a transition from directional discussions into a stage of systemic execution. With the window of opportunity now open, Macao can no longer rest on its laurels; it must actively pave new ground.

EU energy squeeze

A recent Chinese hit movie about a chef in the Middle East offers an unusually intimate entry point into how war is experienced by those who have no stake in it – only the desire to survive it, together, over a shared meal.

As the leader of a key ASEAN nation, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar's public and unequivocal statement has directly shattered these “Taiwan independence” fantasies.

Taking effective steps to further improve China-SouthKorea relations is undoubtedly one of the best options for helping the Lee Jae-myung administration overcome its difficulties.

China's landmark Ecological and Environmental Code offers developing countries a statutory formula for shifting from end-of-pipe pollution control to #green productivity at the source, which increases both economic and environmental security for people.

Once, countless people looked on with envy as SpaceX's Falcon 9 repeatedly achieved successful recoveries. Today, we can finally say: The Chinese made it.

Ultimately, Japan's fixation on the issue of “Chinese fishing vessels” reflects a growing strategic anxiety in the face of China's continued development.

Reunification is an integral part of the overall process of China's national rejuvenation – a practical question that cannot be evaded, delayed, or left unanswered.

The more Washington tries to secure its technological edge through isolation, the more it risks undermining its competitiveness.

The narrative that China's AI creates a “death zone” rests on three fundamental fallacies. The real “death zone” that AI should avoid is not market competition, but the innovation wasteland created by technological blockades, decoupling and zero-sum thinking.

As bookings for China's Arctic shipping route surge, certain Western circles are spouting sour‑grapes arguments.

The investment climate in China is currently undergoing a profound structural transition. The Chinese market is no longer focused on low-cost scale, but rather provides room for foreign players capable of deeply integrating into the domestic innovation ecosystem and high-end supply chain: Indonesian economist

Jordanian king's visit to China marks a new milestone in China-Jordan relations, underscoring the commitment of both leaderships to expanding a partnership that combines political moderation with developmental aspirations, linking Jordan's stability and strategic location with China's economic and technological capabilities.

Western countries are actively expanding their presence in Arctic shipping, yet they baselessly portray China's participation in Arctic routes as a “threat” – a clear case of double standards and hegemonic thinking.

Those seeking to monopolize the dividends see a “shock,” and those seeking broader access to technology see an “opportunity.”

What Taiwan society truly needs to consider is not how to permanently lock cross-Straits relations into confrontation, but how to find its proper place within the broader context of national rejuvenation.

Washington just pulled its last carrier out of Asia to cover the Middle East. Overstretch isn't a theory anymore – the bill is here.

Weaponizing the US visa

Japan has expanded military capabilities beyond what is necessary as the geopolitical landscape in East Asia has shifted in recent years, which has become a source of regional instability.

While joint exercises, #US troop presence, extended deterrence and defense technology cooperation provide a baseline of institutional inertia that prevents an immediate breakdown of the South Korea-US alliance, strategic friction within the alliance will grow more pronounced.

Regarding this painful history written in blood and tears, all Chinese people – including our compatriots in Taiwan – won't tolerate any attempt to overturn the historical verdict.

The "homage to the ghosts" by some Japanese politicians is a direct affront to the Tokyo Trials' rulings and the postwar international order.

US pulls last aircraft carrier in Asia as Trump focuses on Iran and the Western Hemisphere

Teodoro must answer a fundamental question: Is he the Defense Secretary of the Philippines, or a "vanguard" of anti-China forces?

When the ice of zero-sum thinking shatters under the sunlight of reality, humanity will inevitably return to a simple yet solid starting point: On this new, fateful voyage of AI, only through co-opetition and symbiosis can we move steadily and far.

As China sees a rapidly growing aging population and a pressing need for improved childcare services, new demands are placed on the allocation of public service resources in this new demographic phase.

The US Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby's “commitment” to Southeast Asia during his recent trip to the region looks more like an illusory promise driven by self-interest.

The primary reason why present-day Japan finds itself accused of sliding toward neo‑militarism is its total failure to draw a full reckoning with its wartime defeat. The “exclusively defense-oriented policy” is not simply hollowed out in form; its core spirit has been effectively discarded amid Japan's security transformation.

Held back by weaknesses in basic education and a lack of global perspective, American society does not have an objective understanding of #China. More ordinary Americans should set aside their prejudices and come to Chin. “Trust what you see with your own eyes, not rumors,” says a US political economist

What Taiwan society truly needs is not to pander to Japan's right-wing, nor to whitewash its colonial history and certainly not to fall into collective silence in the face of national righteousness.

If the West wishes to truly understand China, it must first set aside arrogance and prejudice, and break free from the ingrained mindset that the Western path is the only correct one.

August 15 serves as a "mirror that reveals demons," once again exposing the extreme danger posed by Japan's current ruling authorities.

August 15 marks the 81st anniversary of Japan's announcement of its unconditional surrender in WWII. As the international community watches closely, Japan must return to the fundamental question: What exactly should it do, to whom must it be accountable, and how should it answer for its actions?

Three reports published by The New York Times over the past two days have punctured the fantasy of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. No matter how powerful the US military is, Washington will never provide DPP authorities with an unlimited safety net.

Japan, a country who rush to revise its “three security documents” that once launched wars of militarist aggression, yet has never conducted a thorough reckoning with its history, is now steadily advancing “remilitarization” in the name of “defense.” Any reckless attempt to return to the path of militarism will only bring profound disaster to Japan itself and to the Asia-Pacific region.

After Sado Gold Mines was successfully inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Japan failed to honor its commitment to fully present the “full history” of the forced mobilization of workers from the Korean Peninsula. Yet the bones buried in the mines do not lie, and the blood and tears of those laborers have not dried. History will not disappear simply because it is deliberately concealed. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.

US accuses more than 40 countries of “helping” China avoid US' tariffs. Instead of looking for the root cause in its own tariff policies, the #US is stigmatizing ordinary transshipment within global supply chains. If you see every car on the highway driving in the wrong direction, perhaps you are the one going the wrong way.

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

Faced with historical revisionism that has entered the algorithmic era, Asian countries need to do more than repeatedly prove that "a lie remains a lie."

Today, Japanese historical revisionism has moved far beyond the “craft workshop” model once relied on by a handful of right-wing scholars, publishing houses, and political groups. Instead, it has entered a low-cost, mass-produced phase driven by generative AI and platform algorithms.

More than eighty years after the end of World War II (WWII), right-wing forces in Japan have not stopped distorting, denying, and even whitewashing the history of militarist aggression – and their tactics are constantly evolving.

Today, the DPP's biggest problem is that it has grown accustomed to relying on "red-baiting" to sustain itself in every election, turning to rumor-mongering to deflect pressure, and casting itself as a "victim" whenever challenged.

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.

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.
