Kissinger can transcend the shackles of values and domestic politics, proceed from the US' real national interests pragmatically and rationally, and promote bold and imaginative diplomacy, which is what the US lacks most today.
The dangers of dumping Fukushima's contaminated water into the sea are evident. Instead of seriously responding to and addressing international concerns, Japan is trying to seize every opportunity to promote the discharge of contaminated water, including inviting South Korean inspection teams as a "shill."
Through practical actions, China and Russia continue to enrich the content of their comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination in the new era, outlining a clearer profile of a new type of international relationship, which not only provides the world with more impetus for development but also serves as a valuable benchmark and model.
Washington's focus is fundamentally off the mark, leading to increasingly erroneous and absurd perceptions of China. We will see if President Biden's statement represents a true "change of tune" for the US.
However, a legitimate and necessary action taken by China is used by the US to turn around and bite back, which is indicative of their guilty conscience and unreasonableness. They must be kicked in the teeth and be made to weigh the consequences carefully.
The Group of Seven (G7) Hiroshima summit concluded on May 21, and unlike the usual practice, the G7 communiqué was released a day before the closing.
From any perspective, the first China-Central Asia Summit is a "new historic milestone."
The stark contrast between the clean stream of multilateralism injected by China and Central Asian countries in Xi'an and the geopolitical sewage discharged by the G7 in Hiroshima is evident.
The China-Central Asia Summit is being held with confidence and openness, because we do not engage in geopolitical games or zero-sum games.
Through her embarrassing political performance, Truss has shown many British people that being tough against China and provoking China not only did not help solve internal problems in the UK, but also further increased the difficulty of solving them.
Doing this well will be another contribution of the new type of major-country relations between China and Russia to the world.
They don't respect China but want to gain unilateral benefits from China. How is this possible?
We hope that the US can take practical actions to prove that it is indeed "managing competition responsibly" rather than dealing with China opportunistically.

The South Korean Embassy in China recently sent us a letter, lodging a so-called "formal protest" in response to several reports and opinion articles published by the Global Times concerning South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's visit to the US. Such words that crossed boundaries and came with strong emotions should not come from a diplomatic institution.
Deliberately demonstrating assertiveness to China in various ways has become a common problem for Western countries, including Canada, in recent years.
China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and cybersecurity company 360 jointly released an investigation report on Thursday, revealing the long-standing use of cyber attacks by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against other countries. While this is an "eye-opener" for many people, the CIA's obsession and ability to create unrest disturb them significantly.
The just-ended May Day holidays brought a boom to the Chinese consumer market. According to data released by the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Wednesday, a total of 274 million domestic trips were made during the May Day holidays, with domestic tourism revenue reaching 148.056 billion yuan ($21.42 billion).
Yoon administration may be the least independent-minded toward the US, and this visit to the US undoubtedly confirms this evaluation.
This conversation is also the latest effort by China to push for a ceasefire and the restoration of peace as soon as possible. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China's efforts to promote a political resolution of the Ukraine crisis have never stopped.
People in Okinawa, who have suffered from war and the shadow of war for a long time, obviously have a better understanding of the value of peace.
We welcome Cleverly's positive remarks, at least it can be seen a little possibility of a turnaround in China-UK relations, but we remain cautious about how much it will be implemented in the UK's China policy.

The European Parliament just spent a whole week discussing China, and the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell will convene foreign ministers from across EU on April 24 local time to discuss the same topic. In anticipation of this meeting, Borrell published a column on April 22 urging the EU to take a more active role in the Taiwan question and calling for European navies to patrol the Taiwan Straits.
South Korea's series of diplomatic actions in the past two days after the country's president Yoon Suk-yeol made inappropriate remarks on the Taiwan question have left the Chinese people more confused than indignant.
Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang has been invited to make an official visit to the Philippines from April 21 to 23. It is expected that he will discuss South China Sea issues with the Philippine Foreign Minister, as well as cooperation in agriculture, trade, energy and infrastructure. Many international media outlets have mentioned the background of this visit: that China-Philippines relations have experienced setbacks or negative trends in recent times. Although the bilateral relations between the two countries do face certain problems, Qin's visit is expected to promote targeted clarification and confidence-building between the two countries, and avoid any major deviation in their relationship.
Temporarily cold-shouldering Washington is not a bad idea. China's door is always open, and when the US shows sincerity and take practical actions, communication and exchange between China and the US in various fields will come naturally, which is also what the international community expects to see.
China's Q1 GDP growth rate was beyond expectations, but also within our expectations.
The G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, which took place from April 16 to 18 in Nagano, Japan, served as a preview of the G7 summit scheduled to be held in May. Generally, the tone set by the foreign ministers' meeting is likely to be similar to that of the G7 summit. The G7 foreign ministers' joint statement, which reflects the main tone of the meeting, will be released on April 18, but the key points have already been leaked by several foreign media outlets, indicating that the "tensions over China will be high on the agenda" of the meeting.
At the invitation of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Chinese State Councilor and Minister of National Defense Li Shangfu is scheduled to make an official visit to Russia from April 16 to 19. This is Li's first overseas visit since taking position in March, highlighting the high level strategic mutual trust between the Chinese and Russian militaries. The military-to-military ties between China and Russia having been operating at high level is key for the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era between China and Russia, and also adds weight to regional and global peace and stability.
"China hawks" seem to be quite popular in the field of Western public opinion. However, this is not a commendatory term, but has become representative of a lack of rationality and pragmatism.
According to data released by China's General Administration of Customs on Thursday, the country's imports and exports of goods in the first quarter (Q1) of 2023 reached 9.89 trillion yuan (about $1.44 trillion), up 4.8 percent year-on-year. The growth rate was accelerated by 2.6 percentage points from that of the fourth quarter last year. This is a steady and positive start to 2023. What is more notable is that imports and exports "returned to the positive territory" in February, and exports in March increased by about 23.4 percent from a year ago (about 14.8 percent year-on-year in dollar terms). This has ended the declining trend of the previous five consecutive months. Some foreign media outlets that follow China's economy have also highlighted that China's export growth in March is a "positive surprise," saying that the rapid recovery of China's exports is a sign of economic recovery.
The US arms dealers come to Taiwan island in group with their undoubtedly bloodthirsty instincts that can make them smell money. It is self-evident what they will bring to and take from the island.
There have been many controversies surrounding the "slant-eye" posture, and Dior should take a good look at how the parties involved have dealt with it.
As the two largest developing countries in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, China and Brazil clearly share common interests beyond the high degree of complementarity in the economic and trade fields.
Washington has a strong desire to control Europe, which is why Macron's emphasis on European strategic autonomy is seen as a form of "betrayal."
Facts repeatedly prove that the US, which believes in the principle of power, is not softer on its allies when it comes to using intelligence as a tool for blackmailing and coercion than it is toward a powerful "opponent."
We hope that Macron and von der Leyen's visit will bring about more positive changes in Europe in this regard.
Contrary to Tsai's expectations, more people are concerned about what risks her provocative move to collude with the US and "rely on the US to seek independence" will bring to Taiwan.
Regardless of China's strong opposition and warnings, the US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday local time met with Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen in Los Angeles, who is visiting the US under the guise of "transit." This is another serious provocation by the US side that seriously violates the one-China principle, damages China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and undermines peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits, following the previous provocative visit by former House speaker Nancy Pelosi to the Taiwan island last August. China's countermeasures will be resolute and powerful, and the provocateurs will not have an easy time. The international community should take a good look at who is undermining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits, and who is the one creating crises and instability.
The effectiveness of French diplomacy will depend on its ability to find a new path of equality, friendly and mutually beneficial coexistence with the non-Western world, including China. It is clear to everyone that being a strategic vassal of Washington is a dead end. Making the China-France relationship a bridge for China-Europe cooperation is beneficial to both sides and to the world.
The image that Washington has left in the eyes of the world is already that of a "false preacher" who shouts slogans louder and pulls the bottom line lower.
Hayashi's visit to China at this time mainly has constructive significance, but it remains to be seen to what extent it will ease China-Japan relations.
Friendship is the main tone and cooperation is the overall goal of China's policy toward Europe. China has already expressed this attitude to the European side on many occasions. The Chinese side welcomes the visits of European leaders with open arms and is willing to engage in practical dialogue and communication. However, the blossoming of China-Europe relations requires both sides to meet each other half way.
When the world is facing a crossroads of high uncertainty, a new community of shared future for Asia will surely become an anchor of peace and stability, a source of growth impetus, and a new highland of cooperation. It may encounter some backlash, but the overall trend is unstoppable.
It's clear that the mainstream public on the island hopes for peaceful relations across the Straits, and there is deep concern about the tendency of the DPP authorities to trample on the red line and cause tensions to escalate or even start a conflict. As patriotic compatriots on both sides of the Straits are making the greatest effort to realize peaceful reunification, the "Taiwan independence" movement is becoming increasingly unpopular on the island. An increasing number of people on the island realize that reunification is beneficial, "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and the US is unreliable.
The US is not qualified to be the "preacher of democracy" of the world, and by turning democracy into a business, Washington has overestimated its market.
Chinese values have taken root and are bearing fruits. The appeal and attractiveness it creates have appeared at the venues of the two major forums and in the enthusiastic interactions between multinational enterprises and China. It will appear in every corner of the world in the future.
DPP authorities are tightly latching onto the US, touted seeking courtship with several foreign legislators as "achievements" and showed off the petty trick of "transiting" through US as "diplomatic accomplishments." These soap bubbles that could easily burst cannot cover up the botched situation of the island's governance, nor will they boost the momentum of "Taiwan independence." Instead, they will only accelerate the historical wheel of reunification of the motherland. The sleepwalking of "Taiwan independence" is coming to an end.
To be more precise, the hearing was designed from the beginning to be a TikTok "struggle session" with the presumption of guilt, a trumped-up charge, and judgment before trial in which no evidence was presented, nor was TikTok given the time or opportunity to prove itself.
The "mutual love" between Chinese tourists and Thailand has been a source of vitality for the tourism industry in both countries and an important foundation for people-to-people exchanges.
The international community needs to increase its moral condemnation of such behavior, which is not a matter of geopolitics but of basic humanity and morality.
China's enormous contribution to world peace and stability will continue to be proven in diplomatic practices. President Xi's trip of peace has won wide support and applause from the world, which is the most powerful proof.
Against the backdrop of the world's turbulence, China and Russia have charted a way to coexist as friendly neighbors and major powers with strategic mutual trust, setting a new paradigm for the relationship between major powers and bringing all-round inspiration to the world.
As the only Asian member, Japan not only fails to speak for Asia, but also serves as a bridgehead for external interference in Asian affairs. This also proves the abnormality of Japan's diplomacy.
China-Russia relations have withstood the test of international turbulence and remained calm and clear-headed, always advancing in a steadfast manner and in a direction that benefits the peoples of both countries and the world.
The world does not need hatred, division or conflict, and the people of all countries want to live a good life.
Peace is so fragile, and crisis management is important, but reducing its occurrence from the root is even more critical.
Australia's inexplicable sense of insecurity when facing China is basically the result of being spiritually controlled for many years by the US.
A China that is not afraid of difficulties and struggles in unity has embarked on a new journey toward the grand goal of “building a great country and advancing national rejuvenation.”
We believe that achieving reconciliation through dialogue, and development through peace, will have a deeply profound influence and gain huge popularity in this era, and only victory for peace is a true victory.
The unity and striving of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people belong not only to China but also to the world.
Perhaps only after Ya Ya returns to China can this unexpected episode that is occurring against the backdrop of strained US-China relations come to an end, but the underlying issues it reflects, and the potential harm it will cause to the emotions of the Chinese and American peoples, are worthy of further reflection and discussion.
Who exactly is hurting the bilateral ties and even world peace by showing its sharp claws? In order to avoid having a misperception, we need to answer this question correctly.
On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang answered questions from journalists both home and abroad about China's foreign policy and external relations. The foreign minister's press conference is one of the highlights of the two sessions every year.
Private enterprises and foreign companies in China can be at ease, explore and develop the Chinese market without any concerns. And the rewards will be generous.
Unlike in Western countries, this will not mean a policy "U-turn." Instead, it will open a new chapter in a great relay race, where the next leg of the journey will continue with unrelenting effort.
The spring of the year sets the tone for things that follow. We wish for a successful convening of the two sessions. At the same time, we have reason to look forward to this spring, where firm belief, vigorous strength, and a trail of progress will leave even more profound imprints than before.
At the opening ceremony of the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, all participants observed a minute of silence for the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. This was a rare touch of warmth amid the growing division and intensifying confrontation. It shows that transcending differences and engaging in dialogue and cooperation are not only possible, but also have a deep root in international community. We hope that all parties can shoulder their responsibilities, demonstrate cooperation, and contribute to promoting global development and prosperity.
In recent years, Washington has frequently threatened to punish others using the excuses of "threats" on the international stage. Now, the Nord Stream bombing has exposed the security loopholes facing human society. When it comes to this matter, the US and other Western countries, which have always held an attitude of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one truly guilty person go free" on security issues, should stop pretending cordiality. It should be noted that even if someone holds the microphone for a moment, they can never monopolize the truth forever.
As we write this editorial, the hearing has not yet started, but we can roughly imagine what kind of scene it will be. From the "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq to the "White Helmets" in Syria, they are all produced on the same assembly line. Historical experience tells the world that no matter how many lies Washington spreads and how many humanitarian disasters it causes, its political elites and media may not even blush. Otherwise, how could this shameful political farce be staged one by one?
We welcome President Lukashenko's visit to China, as well as all foreign friends who are committed to peace and development. A friendly and gentle China full of vitality and opportunities will naturally have a strong attractiveness, which is fundamentally different from some big powers that are deliberately seeking to forum cliques and alliances. China conforms to the trend of the times and definitely has an inexhaustible and powerful driving force.
Development is the eternal theme of human society and a just goal that can never be abandoned at any time. No country or organization can restore the world economy quickly on its own, it is a process of global cooperation.
What this document shows is China's sincerity and goodwill in actively promoting peace talks.
The theme of peace and development requires serious reconsideration and readjustment by the society. It is now time for the international community to work together and press the stop button on this conflict.
What Tokyo needs is not a sense of formality, but a sincere and constructive attitude that can be felt by others. It emphasizes the importance of communication, but there is much more that Japan needs to explain and clarify to China.
Security is a common concern for all mankind, and great powers should set an example.
In the face of an increasingly fragile and imbalanced international security situation, as two major powers neighboring each other, the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations is beneficial to world peace.
US' abuse of force this time has set an extremely bad and dangerous precedent and intensified the entire global situation. Wang pointed out in Munich that What the US needs to do is demonstrate sincerity, and face up to and resolve the damage that this incident has brought to China-US relations. To be honest, it is not only the Chinese people who object to the US' practice; the whole world is concerned about a US like this. After all, missiles are not used for fun, and Washington's abuse of force will surely arouse the international community's vigilance.
Future China-Europe relations are bound to experience turbulence and uncertainties, but they should steer toward a better future.
We hope that it is not only the failed farce of the "balloon incident" that can calm Washington down, it should reflect too much.
If Europe really wants to turn the MSC to an event that promotes peace and solve conflict, then they must pay real attention to the voices of Chinese delegation and pragmatically conduct dialogue with Chinese side.
If the security concept is not "on track," its domestic security problems will continue to erupt. Who can guarantee that the next American danger will not hit the whole world?
We welcome President Raisi's visit, and look forward to China-Iran relations reaching a new high.
"Shooting a mosquito with cannon" is really happening in today's US. If Washington is willing to spend taxpayers' money on this kind of political playacting, simply let it do it.
"US-style democracy," which has long been used by the US as a weapon to instigate conflicts, has increasingly incurred alarm in the world, while the banner of ideology can no longer hide the true color of hegemony, bullying and high-handedness.
Hegemony is the core goal of the US, bullying is the way of action, and domineering is the behavioral characteristic.
The international community needs to keep asking Washington until it gives a convincing explanation.
From the State of the Union address and the reaction in the US, we see the same politically divided, sensitive, anxious, and unconfident US. Such a US has made the world uneasy and unsettled.
Huge disasters are often characterized by shocking scenes that create a strong sense of shared destiny in a short period of time, as well as the expectation and call for human solidarity. This kind of understanding, which has been gained at a tragic cost, is invaluable and should be widely and firmly practiced in human society.
If Tokyo insists on deploying the US military's MRBMs on Japanese soil, it will undoubtedly burn its own country's future into flames.
For Hong Kong, it is necessary to remain not only optimistic about the future, but also sober and calm about the reality. It has to overcome unfavorable factors, consolidate existing advantages, and keep advancing with the times.
Both Taiwan and the compatriots on the island cannot wait to see the resumption of direct flights between the two sides.
Even in a sparsely populated remote area like North Dakota, the so-called national security may destroy normal investment projects at any time.
Obviously, NATO is an unwelcome “guest” to East Asia and the entire Asia-Pacific region.
In front of the US, unlike some other countries, the Philippines has generally demonstrated the independence of a sovereign state.
NATO's intention to get involved in the Asia-Pacific is well known. How to refuse to “drink poison to quench thirst” will test Seoul's political wisdom.
