If Carney fails to secure a majority government position for the next four years, the reform path designed based on the ideals of an economist could face significant challenges or even come to a halt.

On most of these crucial issues, the EU today is much closer to China than it is to the US. Furthermore, Europeans and Chinese largely share the fundamental commitment to the principle of multilateralism that has been explicitly dismissed by Washington.

Today's geostrategic reality is distinctly characterized by multipolarity. The outdated Cold War mind-set, which advocated a zero-sum game, is now obsolete and potentially dangerous to world peace and development.

We firmly believe that China's independent innovation does not depend on closed-door development, or engaging in a technological cold war, but rather on maintaining a strategic commitment to global cooperation. The wave of China's new technologies is open for all sincere collaborators who wish to ride it.

VOA has long viewed China through a lens of prejudice and distortion, fabricating news. How could it have ever opened an “window”? It only forces the world to wear “cognitive sunglasses” clouded by ideological fog. Truly understanding China requires dismantling these artificial cognitive barriers.

For Canada and Mexico, the long-term strategy must be to restructure their trade and reduce their reliance on the US. If the leaders take the opportunity to diversify their trade, it will take a long time, but it can be done.

In the future, as the benefits of these policies are further realized, the synergy of corporate innovation, policy support, and public confidence will undoubtedly invigorate China's consumer market like a spring tide. A stronger Chinese consumer market will write an even more remarkable chapter for both the Chinese economy and the global economy.

When American consumers pay up to $8 per dozen eggs and find no eggs to buy, they are not only shouldering the cost of living but also the price of unilateralism. Currently, the US stock market is volatile, inflation remains high, and consumer confidence is declining – these warning signs all point to the consequences of unilateralism.

The growing trade and investment relations among Asian BRICS members, coupled with enhanced infrastructure connectivity, underscore the group's potential to drive sustainable development and regional stability.

At the global level, two contrasting landscapes have emerged. On one side, the intensifying self-serving competition between the US and Europe is eroding the foundation of Western unity. On the other, developing countries are joining forces to address shared challenges. This stark contrast is a clear reflection of the shifting global power dynamics. In this context, only through unity can developing nations seize the opportunity to control their own destiny.

This reveals the essence of the race between civilizations: actual progress is never achieved by extinguishing the light of others but by becoming a brighter source of light yourself.

I've said that when historians of the future write the chronicles of our times, a highlight is sure to be China's remarkable 40 years of reform and opening-up, and bringing living standards in rural areas up to near living standards in urban areas is essential: Robert Lawrence Kuhn

While some countries build "high fences and small yards," a "better China" is promoting the creation of a broader innovation community based on principles of inclusivity and shared benefits, offering development opportunities to the world.

The development of China's economy has never relied on "exploitation by altering the rules of the game." Instead, it has built sustainable development capabilities through scaling up and actively sought its own growth space in market competition through innovation.

This year's two sessions serve as a key point in shaping China's future development and a critical window for the world to gain insights into China's policies and opportunities. For the international community, working together and sharing the benefits of China's development will lead to a more hopeful future.

The US government's unpredictable tariff policies have left Wall Street "hurting." On March 6, the White House announced a suspension of the 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods until April 2. Just days earlier, the US had imposed these tariffs on products from its two key trading partners.

China's announcement to impose additional tariffs on some products imported from Canada serves as a clear warning: Those who insist on politicizing trade issues and naively believe that “playing the China card” will earn them favor from the US will inevitably bear the consequences.

The “Greater BRICS” proves the success of this heterogeneous platform of countries united around common objectives, particularly the reform of global governance institutions and the deepening of South-South cooperation.

In the past decade or so, China's contribution to global growth was close to 30 percent. The size of China's economy and its growth rate jointly make it the largest contributor.

From the vibrant and lively topics of people's livelihoods to the substantial and valuable policy measures, from the democratic practice of "listening to the people's voices" to the development momentum of "gathering the people's strength," robust economic growth has solidified the material foundation for whole-process people's democracy.

For Washington, the solution requires more than new industrial policies — it demands a shift in perspective. Viewing China solely as a rival is like trying to compete in the digital age with a steam engine mindset.

The US policy of imposing additional tariffs contributes to global economic instability. In every sense, this is detrimental. On one hand, it affects relations between countries; on the other, it severely impacts people who desire economic stability.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has recently made some remarks on the Taiwan question. In general, he emphasized two points: First, the US policy toward Taiwan has remained unchanged since late 1970s, and second, it opposes any changes to Taiwan's status quo by force, threats, or coercion. Both points address critical aspects of the Taiwan question between China and the US, and they need to be further clarified in terms of facts and positions.

In this new year, major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics will bring even greater certainty to the world. We also have every reason to look forward to a world of shared prosperity and cooperation, where the future belongs to all.

By sharing resources with multiple countries, China aims to promote global scientific research. This has not only earned the country great respect in international cooperation, but more importantly, it is an important impetus to global space exploration and research in related fields around the world.

The new terms matrix from the 2025 two sessions reveals a China putting people first, a vibrant and innovative China and a China committed to high-quality development.

On the geopolitical stage, sometimes 1+1 doesn't equal 2. In the end, both Japan and the Philippines will end up losing.

The main challenge facing the US in technological competition is not a lack of free market competition or decline in domestic innovation capacity. Instead, it lies in the flawed strategy of attempting to protect its competitiveness by blocking Chinese companies and their investment.

The year 2025 is poised to be challenging for India's foreign policy.

Between "change" and "unchange," you can get a glimpse of its trajectory

Protectionism leads nowhere, and trade and tariff wars have no winners.

The underlying logic behind this proposal is straightforward: In the emerging multipolar world, does the Philippines have a distinct place, or will it continue to serve as a pawn for other countries?

As the world celebrates alongside China, the Spring Festival offers a timeless message: Regardless of our origins, we are all part of a global family.

Originally, the Philippines had no major external security threats, but it has managed to turn itself into one of the most insecure regional countries, becoming a pawn in geopolitical games. This Southeast Asian country seems to be trapped in a dangerous historical misalignment, with Manila entrusting national security to the military presence of ill-intentioned external forces.

According to the Korea Times, since January, some supporters of the impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol have held rallies every Friday evening along Myeongdong Street in central Seoul to stir up anti-China sentiment by spreading rumors about China's alleged involvement in election fraud.
