The taste of the pudding is really in eating it, and it should be the African countries who taste the pudding and tell the whole world which pudding they like best.

The US condones the Philippines' provocations in the South China Sea.

Although the US has been trying hard to restrict China's high-tech development even at the expense of its allies' interests and the global supply chain, it not only hasn't achieved its desired outcome, but only to find itself surrounded by discontented allies.

If China-Africa cooperation can carve out a new path for South-South cooperation, it would be a tremendous encouragement for countries in the Global South. This would provide a fresh perspective on addressing global development issues and has positive implications for demonstration and promotion.

We are pretty straightforward and say we want to learn. We want to see how China has reached this level of great development.

Why did Zheng feel offended when some spectators shouted the slur "yellow banana"? In the modern context, this term carries strong racial discrimination connotations. The essence of sports competition lies in fair play and the display of individual abilities, not racial or cultural superiority. Zheng's assertive response effectively answers why she can rise to the top of the global tennis scene.

China-africa cooperation in emerging areas is gaining momentum.

As China continues to integrate into the international energy market, it is also making new contributions by building platforms for high-level energy cooperation and leading global energy governance reforms. China can serve as a communicator between energy exporters and consumers, stabilize fossil energy supplies and green energy development, and contribute to eliminating international energy poverty and addressing global climate change.

Interfering with China's disputes with other countries or even China's domestic affairs has long been a tactic employed by the US and its allies.

In the past, China was a companion of Africa in seeking liberation; in the future, China will also be a fellow traveler of Africa in seeking development.

The US employs a range of tactics to ensure that everybody remains misinformed. It's done through trickery but to an informed observer it's very easy to see through. Some of those tactics include lies, misinformation, selective modality, omission of facts and disparagement.

Puppet show.

The Philippines has truly mastered the art of twisting the truth. It stirs up trouble in the South China Sea, escalates the situation, pushes it to the international stage, and then calls China the "biggest disruptor." It's like watching a ridiculous soap opera unfold before our eyes.

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan at the Great Hall of the People on Thursday in Beijing. At a critical juncture where China-US relations are stabilizing from deterioration, Xi put forward strategic, overall, and directional guidance on China-US relations, demonstrating to the US side China's clear stance to "maintain the stability of China-US relations and, on that basis, improve and take forward the relationship."

Why has Beijing become the stage for peace? Why has China's mediation been so successful? What new ideas and results have emerged? China actively advocates and implements the Global Security Initiative. On issues of peace and security, China has the best record of all major powers. China is also the only country in the world that has enshrined the path of peaceful development in its constitution and the only nuclear power that has committed to not use nuclear weapons first.

"China commercial fleet to more than double" due to tourism boom, said Boeing, garnering significant attention with its latest prediction for the Chinese civil aviation market. According to Boeing's Commercial Market Outlook released on Tuesday, China is projected to more than double its commercial airplane fleet by 2043, reaching 9,740 airplanes. China's annual passenger traffic growth of 5.9 percent will exceed the global average of 4.7 percent, and China's freighter fleet will nearly triple with demand stimulated by its booming e-commerce sector. The president of Boeing China previously stated in a media interview that Boeing considers the China market a top priority and is optimistic about its growth in the next 20 years.

Tariffs on China shouldn't be used as a political 'sticky note' for Washington's convenience

Africa should indeed become a "base" for cooperation, not a "battleground" for one side to counterbalance the other's influence. From the perspective of common human development, we can find many commonalities in promoting Africa's development and contributing more to the peaceful development of the world.

In the internet age, language is no longer a closed system but rather an open, fluid, integrative medium. Every seemingly trivial online interaction can give rise to new linguistic phenomena and drive cultural exchange and collision. In international interactions across various levels and fields, the use of different languages and their expressive power increasingly facilitates contact, dialogue and blending among diverse cultures. This deepens connections between countries and helps intertwine the future of humans.

Recently, the Philippines has continued to stir up troubles over China's Xianbin Jiao in the South China Sea, taking provocative actions and hyping up the conflicts at sea. Out of the need to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and the validity of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC), China has continued to take restrictive measures against Philippine vessels, making the Philippines fail to send supplies in three separate attempts on August 19, 25 and 26 to its Coast Guard ship MRRV-9701, which has been illegally anchored in the lagoon of Xianbin Jiao since April.

The Joe Biden administration is expected to announce its final plan this week for implementing high tariffs on certain Chinese imports. The new tariffs were originally scheduled to take effect on August 1, but due to strong opposition and the need for "more time to coordinate industry opinions," the announcement has been postponed until the end of the month. We believe that the US, which claims to value democracy, should face widespread public opinion squarely and provide a responsible response to the voices of the people, rather than using "coordination" as a cover-up to continue harmful policies.

On the political stage, Canada often seems to trail behind the US. After the US government's announcement in May of imposing high tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EV) and steel, the Canadian government has now decided to follow suit.

Black Myth: Wukong officially launched. Overseas player: I've started reading the original text of Journey to the West.

In the face of various international and regional hot issues, the "World War III alarm" has sounded frequently, such as "the world is on the verge of WWIII" and "there is a need to be fully prepared for WWIII." This alarm intensifies people's worries about the turbulent situation around the world.

Modernization has become one of the great subjects of discussion in China. Ever since the century of humiliation, the quest for modernization had eluded China. By the time of the revolution in 1949, China lagged hugely behind the West. The need to modernize was China's greatest challenge. In the late 1970s, Deng Xiaoping learned from the Asian tigers and the West. His answer was to open up to the rest of the world, most notably the West.

In the "ASEAN Perspective on the South China Sea" series, we collect wisdom and insights from former diplomats and scholars from ASEAN member countries.

Black Myth: Wukong, a video game that embodies the dream of Chinese gamers to have a game deeply rooted in Chinese culture and on par with the best games globally, has been a major hit since its debut. However, just like every success China has had, Western media's criticism is never far behind.

As the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing approaches, China-Africa relations have once again captured the attention of media worldwide. In fact, the West hasn't taken its eyes off the China-Africa relationship in recent years, worrying about China's influence in the region and around the world. Behind their eyes of surprise, skepticism and suspicion, lurks a sense of loss. So, why China?

Shanghai-based Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. China (AMEC) announced that it has recently filed a federal lawsuit against the US Defense Department over its designation as a "Chinese Military Company." Another Chinese tech firm, Hesai Technology, reportedly succeeded in "forcing" the Pentagon to remove it from the blacklist through a lawsuit. Some Western media outlets have interpreted this as an "embarrassing reversal" for the Pentagon, with some even questioning why it's so difficult for the Department of Defense to prove that Chinese companies are "military-related.

A lightning bolt came from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which announced on August 21 that the total amount of new jobs created in the 12-month period from March 2023 had been overreported. The bureau stated that an estimated 818,000 announced new jobs in fact had not been created. That is a stunning miscalculation.

Recently the European Union's top diplomat Josep Borrell warned that a trade war between the EU and China may be "unavoidable." He stated: "We must not be naive, we have no interest to get into a trade war… but maybe it's unavoidable, it's also in the logic of things."

In recent years, the situation in the South China Sea has remained tense, with sovereignty disputes under great power competition constantly threatening peace and stability. The question that must be asked is whether a military conflict in the South China Sea is imminent.

One year on: Japan continues dumping of nuclear-contaminated wastewater.

In 1974, renowned Australian novelist Peter Carey published a short story titled American Dreams. In the story, a quiet and traditional Australian town is impacted by the influx of American culture and lifestyle. People in the town begin to pursue the so-called American dreams blindly, leading to spiritual desolation, economic dependency and the loss of their cultural identity. Faced with the relentless encroachment of American culture on Australia, Carey poses a question through this black humor story: Does Australia need an American dream?

With its instances of distortion and deliberate spread of incorrect viewpoints, WSJ is not only falling short in terms of professional standards, but also seems to have ulterior motives.

In recent years, an unsettling trend has emerged in the US: Lawmakers seem more preoccupied with crafting proposals, legislation and bills aimed at countering China than addressing the pressing issues facing their own constituents. This phenomenon is not only evident but increasingly alarming. It underscores a troubling reality that for many US politicians, the pursuit of political interests and competition trumps the welfare of the American people. This commentary seeks to unpack why this is happening, why "People First" never seems to cross the minds of US politicians, and how this neglect will ultimately seriously impact the country.

On August 20, the European Commission unveiled a draft decision to impose final countervailing duties on battery electric vehicles imported from China. The final disclosure did not adequately incorporate China's proposals and still adhered to the wrong approach. The European Commission also said that the tariff measures may take effect at the end of October, with an initial period of five years. This news immediately attracted attention and interpretation from all parties.

On Tuesday, a New York Times report caused quite a stir: US President Joe Biden has ordered US forces to prepare for "possible coordinated nuclear confrontations with Russia, China and North Korea."

The 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China concluded its third plenary session in Beijing last month. One of its principal objectives was to study the issue of further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization. This comes at a time when much of the Western world is falling apart by mostly self-ignited and auto-propelled conflicts and proxy wars, "sanctioning" countries that don't conform to the hegemon's wishes.

When a Westerner who has never been to China thinks of China, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe, an ancient Eastern nation known for its porcelain, a powerful entity regarded by the US as a rival or even an enemy, or a nation led by a communist party that differs from Western civilization and ideology. If this is what they think of first, they are clearly unaware of the meaning behind zhongguo and what it represents.

The nearly 46 years of reform and opening-up in Chinese history include an impressive chapter of rapid economic development and win-win cooperation with the world, enriched by vivid stories of reform. While grand narratives are essential, it is the details that truly captivate.

The Chinese game Black Myth: Wukong was officially released on August 20.

The leaders of the US, Japan and South Korea issued a joint statement on Sunday marking the anniversary of their summit at Camp David and reaffirmed a pledge to jointly tackle regional challenges, Reuters quoted South Korea's presidential office as reporting on Sunday.

When the current dynamics of China-Russia relations is discussed, the conversation often boils down to the concept of a "senior-junior partnership."

The various aspects of the Paris Olympics can help us to look at ourselves and the world more rationally, objectively, and calmly.

German companies' firm choice of China should also serve as a reminder to some in Europe. Should blind faith in the narrative of "de-risking" still be adhered to?

The path to peace in Myanmar lies in finding a way for all parties to sit down and reconcile.

US double-standard industrial policy will eventually backfire on itself

The third anniversary of the US' disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal provides a somber occasion to reflect on the consequences of the pullout on regional security and global stability, and more importantly to contemplate the way forward.

The US must find a constructive role to play among all other nations rather than continuing to irrationally attempt to impose itself upon all other nations.

China's rise isn't a threat - it's an opportunity. It's proof that human civilization can bloom in different ways. It can't be stopped.

When Hideo Shimizu bows in front of the monument to "apology and the commitment to peace without war," it is not only an apology to history, but also a resounding question about Japan's future path.

The present Marcos administration in the Philippines may seem pro-US but it may not be a position supported by the majority of Filipinos. Previous Philippine governments were different and future governments may be different too.

US sports hegemony
