It is believed that other countries will also realize that China's exploration and firm practice in green transition have positive significance, and hindering China's green transformation will ultimately hinder their own and the global green transition.

"Whether it is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine or the one between Palestine and Israel, the basis of all China's positions in promoting peace and negotiation is that all parties respect the principle of sovereignty," said Cui Heng, a research fellow from the Center for Russian Studies of East China Normal University.

The "golden age" when the West led globalization and profited the most, which these rioters seek to reclaim, is a romanticized illusion. Globalization has brought irreversible changes in the economic and social structures of Western countries. Attempting to turn back the clock is akin to trying to unscramble an egg – it's simply impossible.

Although the starting gun of the Paris Olympics is gradually fading away, the thoughts it brings to the world will continue to resonate.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has issued a stern rebuke to the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), exposing a scheme that allowed US athletes who had committed doping violations to compete without sanctions for years.

The Paris Games comes to an end, but the game surrounding the global doping control mechanism may have only just begun.

China's example of exercising global leadership – away from hegemonism and protagonism, and in favor of solving the great problems of humanity – shows that it is possible to be a great power committed to cooperation and the use of science and technology for the good of humanity, rather than for domination and war.

Amid UK riots, the UK side should be more concerned about how it can get out of the predicament, and face the reality that Hong Kong has long returned to China, stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs, and reflect on itself and not engage in "double standard."

Athletes' performances are never isolated; they show the spirit of the whole of Chinese society and let the Olympics witness the openness and confidence of Chinese society.

BRICS countries as a typical representative of the Global South and BRICS cooperation as a new practice of South-South cooperation have obtained a wide consensus among an increasing number of developing countries.

We believe that until authoritative, just and persuasive result for the Knighton case is available, any determination of his ranking should be postponed.

Behind the Philippines' audacity in the South China Sea is the US' constant encouragement of its allies to flex their muscles in the region to embolden the Philippines.

This is what the US has done to the Middle East.

"For 500 years, the US govt has been trying to terminate the native Americans for land and resources; they want it all."

Although the improvement in China-India relations has come later than expected, it has finally arrived. This is largely due to the mutual need for both sides to enhance their relationship.

The rebound and recalibration of the bilateral relations between China and Australia are a hard-won outcome which should be cherished. This progress should not be wasted by giving in to pressures from the US.

The discussion surrounding Foxconn's “return” is not so much a matter of reality as it is a game surrounding China's economic confidence. Foxconn is a microcosm of sustained confidence from multinational companies in Chinese manufacturing.

US stock plunge sends global markets off track.

The US' domineering attitude of "I can only check you, but you are not allowed to check me" gives people every reason to suspect that USADA is negligent in supervising drug abuse among domestic athletes, or even intentionally covering it up.

Using the label of China's “coercive behavior” to prompt Australia into the forefront of the US overseas military deployments is a typical illustration of US Indo-Pacific strategy.

Despite the immense competitive pressure facing China's technological development, Dr Tsung-Dao Lee saw great potential in China. It is precisely because Dr Li saw this potential, that he made significant contributions to unleashing such potential.

The UK is currently experiencing its most serious violent riots in 13 years.

At the Paris Olympics, the performances of Gen Z athletes not only exemplify the spirit of the new generation of Chinese youth, who defy categorization and boldly take the lead, but also challenge the singular Western-centric narrative about China with their open and confident demeanor.

The US' investigation into Knighton's positive doping test is hard to trust. The issue should be handled by more authoritative world anti-doping organizations.

The recently concluded Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) continues to spark discussion among international experts. On Monday, at an international symposium held in Beijing, experts and scholars from more than 10 countries discussed the achievements of China's reform and opening-up efforts in the new era. They also looked forward to the further comprehensive deepening of reform and the high-level opening-up process in China. 

The US has been selling weapons to Taiwan in an attempt to arm the island into a "porcupine." However, this is not making Taiwan island any safer, but merely turning it into a cash machine.

The withdrawal of Western troops from Niger could inspire more African countries to take similar measures to reduce their dependence on foreign military forces and strengthen their autonomous defense capabilities. Africa does not want to become a chessboard for Washington's hegemony.

Given the differences and conflicts in their strategic goals and interests, the US-India relationship will continue to evolve and intensify amid the shifting global order, but it will never fully become a formal alliance or partnership.

China is ready to strengthen communication and coordination with relevant parties and play a constructive role in maintaining peace and stability in the Middle East.

Measures such as investing in depleted public services, building more housing and doing much more to repair the damaged UK infrastructure, might help.

In a diverse world, athletes are learning to demonstrate their own and their group's image through their sportsmanship and professionalism. In this regard, the Chinese delegation has done very well.

Blinken's visit to Asia created unnecessary tensions, provoked opposition, and hindered the development of regional countries.

It's unwise for German to intervene in the South China Sea issue, which can be described as the forefront of competition between China and the US. Is it worthwhile for Germany to damage its relationship with China, which will only facilitate the advancement of US global hegemony interests?

The success of the Chinese swim team at this year's Olympic Games should serve as a wake-up call to many arrogant and complacent Westerners.

The confidence in China's future economy not only comes from the nation's major manufacturing and the pursuit of being part of the "lighthouse factories," but also from the industrial chain ecosystem of new quality productive forces.

Nowhere has anyone demonstrated that China poses a risk to Australia's territorial integrity. Australia's economic welfare is built on trade with China; it's not a risk, it's a bonus.

There are hopeful signs suggesting that there likely will be a reset in India-China relations in the coming months.

Today, when Chinese athletes stand on the Olympic podium, it is the result of Chinese participation in global competition.

The US talks about "allies," "values" and "international rules," but its true calculations are always about "US interests," "America first" and "US hegemony."

The cyclical nature of the US economy raises critical questions: Will this downturn arrive sooner and hit harder than previous downturns?

The US was always above such “niceties,” choosing instead to bulldoze its agenda across the Global South.

A recent report on the 2022 US National Defense Strategy (NDS) was released by the US National Defense Strategy Commission. The report highlighted that the NDS is “out of date,” the US military is not correctly structured and the nation's industrial base is "grossly inadequate," and claimed that these shortcomings make it impossible to simultaneously confront the dual "threat of Russia and China.” The report proposed a solution called "all elements of national power" and called for strengthening the US military's readiness to operate across multiple theaters of war.

As the hashtag "Radiant post-2000s have started to take responsibility" gains traction on Chinese social media, young Chinese athletes are making youthful waves in Paris. On the global stage of the Olympics, these athletes embody the spirit of the games with their exceptional performances, breaking records and achieving miracles through their determination and perseverance. They pay tribute to the Olympic motto of "Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together" with their best competitive state, setting records and making miracles with a spirit of daring to fight, never giving up, and striving for national glory.

As long as Italy retains its vitality and relevance on the world stage, it will also retain a deep and meaningful relationship with China.

In today's world where the future and destiny of countries are closely linked, only by strengthening dialogue among civilizations based on mutual respect and inclusiveness, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, can we eliminate barriers, alienation, and hostility, and can we uphold the beauty of each civilization and the diversity of civilizations in the world. These are the inspirations that "Marco Bloggers" bring to our time.

US power politics reaches out to pure land of Olympics once again

In order to block China's technological advancement, the US has spared no effort in building "small yard, high fence" and suppressing China's technological development, even at the cost of disrupting global technological cooperation and supply chains.

Whether during the US-Soviet Cold War arms race or the international developments since the Cold War's end to the present day, it's evident that a hegemon like the US cannot achieve significant accomplishments merely by refurbishing 450 ICBM silos.

When Western generals talk of war with China, they should be careful what they wishes for. The last time – the only time – that clause was acted on led to a disastrous 20-year war in Afghanistan, which ended in humiliating defeat for the West.

The US deployed the Typhon MRC missile system in the Philippines, and announced to deploy land-based intermediate-range missile in Europe, which shows that the US takes its own interests as the only consideration, reneges on its security commitments to allies and incites them to stand on the front line of containing China, which further undermines global and regional stability.

It is not the right policy to invite a foreign power to deploy foreign bases and troops in one's territory for external defense because the foreign power has enemies, which will soon become your enemies.

The US is drowned in mounting debt.

Washington's false narrative and politicized manipulation of doping testing seriously blaspheme the Olympic spirit. The Olympics symbolize global unity and peace. On this stage which showcases human justice and friendship, Washington has ruined its image as a major power.

The so-called attention on the Global South, driven solely by geopolitical interests, is neither long-lasting nor sincere.

The Pentagon is bidding to purchase the ancient Chinese military book The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China as teaching materials. The most important thing for the US military to learn is the profound thoughts of Chinese sages on the issues of war and peace.

If the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games showed us anything, it is that Western culture is experiencing an unprecedented gap. How this will evolve, and whether it will be reconciled, is related to the impact of Western culture on global geopolitics

China's mediation does not contradict existing initiatives in the Middle East, but rather complements them, with a sincere hope for the Middle East to become an oasis of peace amid an increasingly fragmented world and a beacon of hope for global unity and understanding.

We urge New Delhi to face up to the growing domestic voices with a more positive and open attitude toward bilateral cooperation in the economic and trade fields. New Delhi should know that a timely correction of wrong policies will not lead it to "lose face," but will demonstrate India's maturity and confidence.

When the "pure-blood American flag" rises high, what people may see behind it is US nationalism and political anxiety. When US' dignity and values are so fragile that they need to be ensured by the place of origin of the flag they wave, it in itself reflects the decline of the US empire.

Do not let the US become the root of turmoil disrupting peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.

The trilateral cooperation between China, Russia and India requires all countries to take a long-term strategic perspective. They must also properly handle various relationships and establish a preliminary framework of strategic mutual trust for the potential of trilateral Arctic cooperation to gradually be realized.

Meloni's visit carries the good intention of easing China-Italy relations and demonstrates a positive attitude toward seeking cooperation with China. The logic of economic and trade cooperation is stronger than the logic of “de-risking.”

Now, de-escalation with China is being pursued, affirming the deep desire of 95 percent of the Filipino population to devote the national energy to economic recovery instead of the imagined threat to national territory.

Faced with unprecedented risks of confrontation and division since the Cold War, countries in the Asia-Pacific region need to enhance their crisis awareness and jointly resist the trend of “NATO-ization” of the Asia-Pacific region.

​US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that Washington has "serious concerns" about the announced results of Venezuelan presidential election won by incumbent President Nicolas Maduro, claiming it reflected "neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people." Do American politicians know the will of the Venezuelan people better than the people themselves? Obviously not.

How much of the so-called sports powerhouse America is supported by doping?

In the current global era of great changes, as two major civilizations and markets, China and Europe urgently need more and deeper equal exchanges and mutual understanding. At this moment, Italy, as a bridge between East and West and a role in maintaining road access, will surely have a lot to offer.

It has always been China's position that it will not be the first to use nuclear weapons. At the same time, China has been encouraging nuclear-weapon states to commit to no-first-use of nuclear weapons and not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapon states and nuclear weapon free zones.

The debate on so-called China's overcapacity holds no ground. Africa needs the much-produced solar panels to boost renewable energy in its grids, reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the devastating effects of climate change.

Under US influence, Europe is falling into a vortex of confrontation with Russia. Instead of building a more secure defense mechanism, Europe is now moving toward not only a more confrontational structure with military preparations, but also a strategic dilemma of growing insecurity.

After just attending the East Asia series of foreign ministers' meetings, US Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin gathered in Tokyo and will visit Manila, Seoul, Tokyo, and Australia to accelerate the integration of the Asia-Pacific alliance, sending a dangerous signal that the Biden administration will continue to push for the "NATO-ization" of the Asia-Pacific region.

The narrative in the Philippines that China will invade us is a joke, because history itself will tell that Chinese people are peaceful. They love business and trade.

Peace and development have become the biggest consensus and firm choice of ASEAN countries.

Instead of putting too much emphasis on each other's strategic competitiveness, it is important to weaken the hostile emotions between China and India and make decisions more independently in the current geopolitical environment.

The false perception that Washington and Tokyo will come to “save the day” will further embolden Taiwan secessionist forces to provoke the mainland.

The US risks destabilizing the Asia-Pacific by revamping military command in Japan.

Comparing the American and the Russia-China exercises is to draw a false equivalence. Washington views China and Russia's activities off its shores through the distorted lens of its own behavior.

No matter what large-scale joint actions the Quad carries out, they will not be enough to deter China, instead, they only make other countries in the region feel threatened.

To the Point

The US uses China and Russia as an excuse to expand its presence in the Arctic.

One is left to wonder if anyone within the IOC will have the courage to publicly tell the Australians and Americans (and potentially others) that they are crossing the line in their criticisms of Chinese swimmers

It is unclear where the US gets this absurd double standard.

The good news, however, is that the West might have a deficit of material resources and political will to wage a large-scale ice-breaker race with Moscow and Beijing.

New sequel.

Influential major countries, in particular, should align with China to create conditions and provide support for direct dialogue and negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Only when major powers contribute positive energy rather than negative energy can there be an early glimpse of a cease-fire in this conflict.

As election competition becomes increasingly fierce, the current political polarization in the US has become more worrying for the world.

NATO, as a military alliance, its very existence implies potential confrontation and conflict. Just as races in the StarCraft video game need constant expansion and conquest to survive, NATO is caught in a similar logical loop.

There are countless examples of countries around the world embracing yuan for trade. China will continue opening up its financial sector. A modern financial system with Chinese characteristics is on the way

China advocates peace, but peace cannot be achieved through retreat or pleading. Various forms of pressure must also be applied to prompt the US to consider China's calls for fairness and justice more seriously

The trilateral cooperation among China, South Korea and Japan is of great significance in reducing the threat of war in East Asia. But it is difficult to achieve much unless leaders of South Korean and Japan change from pro-US alliance diplomacy to balanced diplomacy.

This is a milestone in Palestine's journey toward new national unity and another milestone in China's Global Security Initiative to promote world peace.

China's supercomputing is not an untouchable "secret," but the key is for the US to abandon its well-known habit of technological intimidation.

Three days before the opening of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the Chinese swimming team has already earned the title of "champion" thanks to the US politicization of the sports arena.

Representatives of 14 Palestinian factions signed the Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity, historically announcing the end of division and the strengthening of Palestinian unity.

The mathematical tug-of-war in the recent 2024 IMO mirrors the broader US-China rivalry. American companies leverage global talent to secure top positions in high technology, while China should become a talent magnet, attracting international brains – including overseas Chinese – to fuel its future growth

Despite efforts to slow it down, I think the prospects are very good. A growth rate of about 5 percent is excellent for an economy which is the largest in the world using purchasing power parity (as used by the World Bank and the IMF). I have learned in investing not to go against the trend and the trend is rising.

Each successful practice of the GSI attracts more like-minded partners and continually validates the ancient Chinese saying: "Virtue is not left to stand alone, and he who practices it will have neighbors."

As long as dollar hegemony still exists, the global economy is subject to US arbitrariness driven by jealousy, greed and selfishness.

The US has evil intentions to bolster relations with Asian countries during Blinken's trip, that is, to destroy the original development and cooperation atmosphere in this region in an attempt to make geopolitics become the focus.

In the Arctic, where no trouble exists, the US busies itself with imagined concerns. The US' most skilled trick is to “cry wolf" in peaceful regions, especially when promoting the "China threat theory." The US' ultimate goal is to become the hegemonic power in every region of the world.

The sharp reaction of EU politics to Orban's peace mission raises serious questions about the agenda and interests of the institution and individual countries in relation to the Ukraine crisis.

NATO only talks about war and confrontation. NATO is a tool of the US. And the US is seeking to use NATO to bolster its weakened position in the Pacific and to get NATO expanded into the Pacific.

Creating artificial political barriers will not suppress China's development and runs counter to the mainstream understanding in the scientific and business communities, harming the interests of the entire world.

What does the US want via drafting document to defend Japan with nukes? The answer is pushing Japan to be the next battleground. Unfortunately, by promoting the joint document, Japan demonstrates its readiness to be considered a potential nuclear target due to its alliance with the US.

No one expects a breakthrough from one single meeting between Fatah and Hamas. Yet the upcoming talks in Beijing are seen as promising due to favorable conditions, prompting a cautiously optimistic outlook.

If the Philippines abuses China's flexibility and patience based on the humanitarian spirit on the Ren'ai Jiao issue regarding the new agreement as an expedient, and then goes back on its word, it will definitely pay a heavier price for its repeated mistakes.

With the Olympics approaching, high-quality goods made in China are being rapidly shipped to Paris.

The US is trying to use the Philippines to disunify and weaken the unity and solidarity of ASEAN. They are using the Philippines to discredit ASEAN, saying ASEAN is not helpful in the claims of the Philippines over the South China Sea. The US have no good intentions for ASEAN

Stopping the bloodshed in the Middle East should be put before all geopolitical considerations – this is the real concern of China's diplomacy.

In today's global economy, trying to succeed by making others fail is a player who doesn't follow the rules.

The US ignores multiple domestic challenges such as inflation, debt and wealth gap while persistently touting the inevitably doomed "China economic collapse" theory.

The central problem facing all NATO allies is they must forfeit their sovereignty and subordinate their foreign policy to the security interests of the hegemon. How can peace and democratic sovereignty be defended in Germany, given the US' willingness to put its own allies at such grave risk?

On Saturday, Melanie Joly concluded a three-day trip to China, the first visit by a Canadian foreign minister since 2017. However, while this is a positive signal for the easing of China-Canada relations, the constant hype over recent years by some Canadian politicians about the “China threat” may continue to create obstacles to bilateral relations, which is worth remaining concerned about.

Opening up to a global market is always a tricky problem. This covers multiple aspects, from commodity trade to foreign investment to financial market reforms and governance. Combining our research paper with future projections, I may conclude: in the long run, there are no visible signs of production overcapacity in the new-energy sector, as demand will far outweigh supply. With the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China can help other developing countries and transform their lives through our own experience in industrialization.

As the Ambassador and Permanent Observer of the International Youth Organization (OIJ) to the United Nations, H. E. Mr. Daniel del Valle Blanco (Blanco) recently visited China and engaged with China's young generation, which he said shaped his view of China as a nation that fosters a youth-led future. Global Times (GT) reporters Wang Wenwen and Li Meng spoke to Blanco about his trip, as well as his views on human rights.

Von der Leyen's absurd remarks regarding China's internal affairs constitute blatant interference, which not only damages the credibility of the EU in international affairs, but also has a negative impact on China-EU relations, as well as the peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, and even the world.

Microsoft's "blue screen of death" incident reminds people that cyberspace is an important part of digital space and cybersecurity needs to be maintained by the international community.

The path China has taken in its reform and opening-up is a path toward Chinese modernization, which is fundamentally different from the traditional Western path to rise.

Amid the anticipation of the people and the attention of the world, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee successfully concluded on Thursday, reviewing and passing Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese Modernization. The resolution highly praises the successful practices and great achievements of deepening reform comprehensively since the new era.

The US not only closes its doors, but also reaches out to close the "doors" of others. Multiple foreign media outlets reported that the US is considering taking stricter measures to pressure companies from countries such as Japan and the Netherlands, in order to restrict their chip trade with China. After the report, Wall Street's semiconductor index lost more than $500 billion in stock market value on Wednesday in its worst session since 2020. The US continues to escalate its export controls on China, aiming to curb China's momentum in the high-tech field and maintain US leading position in the global technology industry chain. This practice seriously disrupts the global chip supply chain order.

Once again, the US is rehashing the cliché of the "China threat theory" - this time in space. Jeffrey Kruse, director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, said during the annual Aspen Security Forum in a panel discussion on space and national security on Wednesday that the US is seeing from China a heightened "intent to use counter-space capabilities to threaten space."

Jeffrey Kruse, director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, said during the annual Aspen Security Forum in a panel discussion on space and national security on Wednesday that the US is seeing from China a heightened “intent to use counter-space capabilities to threaten space.”

The Chinese and Russian navies carried out a joint exercise coded "Exercise Joint Sea-2024" at a military port in Zhanjiang in South China's Guangdong Province this week, with the purpose of safeguarding maritime security in this challenging and complicated international situation. The two navies also recently conducted their fourth joint maritime patrol in sea areas of the western and northern parts of the Pacific Ocean.

In the "ASEAN Perspective on the South China Sea" series, we collect wisdom and insights from former diplomats and scholars from ASEAN member countries. In an interview with Global Times (GT) reporter Su Yaxuan, Hassan Wirajuda (Wirajuda), former foreign minister of Indonesia, said that no country, including China, wants to see an area of potential conflict develop into open conflict, which would ultimately harm all involved, especially since countries in the East Asian region are closely interconnected.

In terms of bilateral relations, China has full goodwill toward the US and hopes to resolve existing issues through cooperation. In the current situation, the common interests of the two countries have not decreased, but increased. The US needs to have a correct understanding of China, abide by its commitments to China, and both parties in the US should change the practice of using China as a scapegoat for domestic issues. After all, mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation are the only correct way for China and the US to get along.

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities of Taiwan should be trembling now. Former US president Donald Trump, who is the Republican Party's official 2024 presidential nominee, accused Taiwan of stealing US chip business and claimed that Taiwan "should pay" for US protection, according to Bloomberg on Tuesday.

This year is an election year in the US, and the competition between the Republican and Democratic parties is more intense than ever. A hostile political atmosphere prevails in the US with a rising trend toward election violence. Recently, US President Joe Biden delivered a televised speech, urging to "lower the temperature" in US politics and avoid normalizing election violence. The escalating extremism in US politics has attracted widespread attention from the international community, and it is indeed necessary to continue to observe and accurately assess its international impact.

Even the name of China's post-1978 reform and opening-up makes it clear that orientation toward the international economy and support for globalization are central to China's policies. This aligns with both China's national interests and those of the international economy.

Recently, many foreign vloggers and social media influencers have gained a lot of attention by sharing their insights from traveling to China. The China they see differs greatly from the one portrayed in Western media. US artist Danny Casale (Casale) is one of those recent overseas visitors coming to China. In an exclusive interview with the Global Times (GT), Casale shared insights into his travel experiences in China, his perspective on misinformation about China, and how his artistic works promote cultural exchanges between China and the US.

After reading J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, many Chinese readers are shocked by the depth of poverty in parts of Ohio and Kentucky. These areas were once the heart of the US' industrial might.

As the world's second-largest economy faces various new problems and situations at home and abroad, how China faces and solves them will not only directly affect the current international situation but also have a strong demonstration effect. Whether to choose isolation and decoupling or opening-up and cooperation, a zero-sum game or win-win, will have different impacts on human society. Therefore, as the Third Plenary Session is convened, the whole world is focusing on China.

China's National Immigration Administration (NIA) announced on Monday that the country's 144-hour visa-free transit policy has been expanded to three more entry ports, taking the number of ports covered by the policy to 37.

The China-Russia Joint Sea-2024 naval exercise kicked off on Sunday at a naval port in Zhanjiang, South China's Guangdong Province. The drill has caught widespread speculations among Western media. They particularly highlighted the timing of the drill, which came just a few days after the recent NATO summit in Washington, hinting that the drill is specially targeted at NATO.

Violence exporter.

Former US permanent representative to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison recently said that the best leverage to deter China is to make its economy collapse. She expressed hope that none of the major economies in the world will invest in China, do business in China, or create jobs in China, so that China's economy will collapse. Her comments clearly reflect a certain mind-set held by some US political elites toward China, which aligns with the strategic direction the US is currently pursuing.

Since the beginning of reform and opening-up, each of the third plenary sessions of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, also known as the third plenum, has primarily focused on reform, holding special significance in the Party's historical narrative. The third plenum of the 20th CPC Central Committee kicked off on Monday, with a focus on further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese modernization. The addition of "advancing Chinese modernization" to the agenda of the third plenum is of great practical and historical significance.

The US offensive must be taken for what it is: a means of weakening a serious competitor and it is a paradox. Rémy Herrera (Herrera), a French economist and researcher at the National Center of Scientific Research, spoke to Global Times (GT) reporter Su Yaxuan in an exclusive interview. He pointed out that the US - and subsequently the EU - have stated goals in the fight against climate change and frequently asked China to "take responsibility," but, at the same time, they do not accept real competition and have consequently become protectionists.

China, as the world's second largest economy, has established a solid foundation for long-term development and continues to strengthen the internal driving force for sustainable economic growth. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Part of China Central Committee is currently being held to plan for further comprehensive deepening of reforms. The institutional dividends of China's economic growth will continue to be released, and its growth potential will be continuously stimulated. We are confident in the future of the Chinese economy, and our perspective on the Chinese economy should also be more forward-looking.

American extreme political violence, polarization form a vicious cycle.

From Tuesday to Thursday, Japan will host the Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting. Prior to the meeting, Japanese media brought up China, stating that the Japanese government "intends to deepen its involvement in the Pacific Islands, a frontline of the US-China conflict." This inadvertently reveals Japan's motives for hosting the meeting: The so-called support for the Pacific Island countries is actually an attempt to impose the strategic intentions of the US and Japan onto them, trying to pull them into the US' Indo-Pacific Strategy.

In 1978, China made the decision to open up and turn outward. This has been fundamental to China's extraordinary economic transformation over the last four decades and more. The turn outward, we should remind ourselves, represented a rejection of the "socialism in one country" thinking that had shaped Chinese policy after the 1949 revolution. The new approach was hugely consequential. China came to see itself as an integral part of the global economy, rather than, as before, a part of the socialist bloc, or, more narrowly even, pretty much on its own. China's new approach was to measure itself against the world, and, more crucially, the advanced economies of the US, Europe, and Japan.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of NATO. The Washington Summit Declaration issued at the NATO summit was filled with Cold War mentality and bellicose rhetoric, which will exacerbate the tense situation in the Asia-Pacific region. Global Times (GT) talked to Jeffrey Sachs (Sachs), a professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He explained the risks brought to the world by the continuous expansion of NATO led by the US, as well as why the US demonizes China as a threat.

As election competition becomes increasingly fierce, the current political polarization in the US has become more worrying for the world. The development of political polarization promotes the emergence of more political violence, and the increase in political violence further leads to the escalation of political polarization.

Many Chinese students interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) look to the US as their destination for further education. Unfortunately, their plans for a US STEM education are increasingly thwarted – not so much by exorbitant tuition fees, but by the shifting stance of the US' foreign policy.

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee convenes in Beijing from Monday to Thursday, attracting high attention globally. An article by Bloomberg entitled "Why China's Third Plenum Matters for Global Investors" highlighted that "The Third Plenum stands out for its potential impact on the world's second-largest economy." For the world, the Third Plenum serves as an important window for outsiders to understand China's high-quality development and high-level opening-up.

A company in Texas has installed vending machines that sell ammunition in grocery stores across multiple states in the US.

August 15 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil. In May, the two countries have emerged as key players in global diplomacy by proposing a joint approach to peacefully resolving the crisis in Ukraine. The joint proposal for peace negotiations signifies a major commitment from these Global South powers to seek just and peaceful solutions to international conflicts. This move marks a new era of diplomatic leadership for developing nations, which are becoming increasingly influential in global affairs.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) will convene the third plenary session of its 20th central committee on Monday in Beijing. The four-day plenum will primarily examine issues related to further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese modernization. The focus of the third plenary session on "advancing Chinese modernization" reflects the current mission to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese modernization. It also highlights the profound goal of developing China into a great modern socialist country by the middle of the 21st century.

A report published Thursday by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), an independent research organization, has garnered widespread global attention. It reveals the different goals and policy trends in China's and the US' global strategies.

The US democracy is currently experiencing a significant pathological symptom, characterized by extreme polarization and a decline in trust in the democratic process. The future of American democracy hinges on addressing these internal challenges, rather than focusing solely on external strategic competitors.

The two summits taking place this month, SCO summit and NATO summit, greatly differ in the issues they tackle, and reveal the widening divide between an isolated West refusing to acknowledge the ascent of a multipolar world, and a rising Global South that is waking up to say no to the Anglo-American hegemon.

China and Europe should not create artificial political conflicts but should instead expand the vast space for economic and trade cooperation. Win-win cooperation helps both sides' companies enhance their competitiveness and make technological achievements more accessible to the public. This is the best way to “de-risk.”

The arbitration award will not have any substantive impact on China's legitimate rights to the South China Sea, but it will squeeze the political space for the parties to resolve their disputes through negotiation and consultation.

The first regular freight train between China and Poland arrived in Warsaw a few days ago, successfully delivering air conditioners, coffee machine accessories, egg beaters and other goods from China to markets thousands of miles away.

China's cooperation with Cuba is done aboveboard, and does not target any third party. The real need for introspection lies with the US itself, and what needs to be corrected is Washington's Cold War mentality.
