After the fire caused the collapse of the spire and the roof, the restoration of Notre-Dame was considered an “impossible task” due to its immense difficulty. The cathedral's rebirth from the flames is the result of collective strength and effort.

Some US politicians are calling for preparation for war. This suggestion is not a strategic plan at all, but a form of strategic self-destruction.

During President Xi Jinping's trip to Latin America in November, he participated in two important multilateral meetings, the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and the 19th G20 Summit, while also paying state visits to Peru and Brazil. This set a record in recent years as the longest diplomatic trip. Furthermore, it is a vivid practice of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics that demonstrates Chinese modernization, proposes Chinese solutions and builds global consensus.

The successful inscription of the Spring Festival is not only another important milestone of the world's embrace of Chinese civilization, but also provides a new starting point for exchanges and mutual understanding among different civilizations.

As the world's two largest developing countries and the two major neighbors of South Asian countries, China and India have the responsibility to drive the region to focus on development and cooperation, adhere to strategic autonomy and jointly resist all kinds of external provocation and "divide and rule" efforts.

Late Tuesday night, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol unexpectedly declared a state of emergency martial law, triggering a political earthquake that shocked the entire country and garnered widespread international attention.

The "Qiong Yao phenomenon" that swept across both sides of the Taiwan Straits was driven primarily by a profound sense of cultural resonance among the Chinese people.

From my conversation with the Chancellery, I know for sure that Chancellor Olaf Scholz has always been engaged in intensifying the economic cooperation and the political dialogue with China.

GT reporter Wang Wenwen spoke to US drug abuse interventionist Tim Ryan (Ryan) . He said that people don't find the China-blaming convincing. "It's easier to blame other people instead of saying we made a big mistake or we are doing this wrong," Ryan noted, urging the US government to take up more responsibilities to tackle its fentanyl issue.

China's peaceful rise provides the world with stability, opportunities and momentum. However, the US and some Western countries have long harbored misconceptions or a "deficit in understanding" regarding China.

Why are American chips 'no longer safe and reliable'?

Recognizing the "colonized and plundered mind" is also an important step in the cultural reconstruction of developing countries, especially for South-South cooperation, where exchanges on the shadow of colonialism play an important role in deepening understanding and promoting the development of common interests.

The current feigned concern from some politicians over America's drug problem is merely a thin veil to cover their attempts at continuing our imperial violence over the rest of the world.

The Philippines should recognize China's resolve and capabilities in defending territorial sovereignty and maritime rights, as demonstrated by a series of control measures taken by China in response to Manila's provocations over the South China Sea issue. The self-directed drama staged by the Philippines ultimately amounts to nothing more than a one-man show that fails to make any significant impact.

Currently, there remains a significant gap between China and the world's advanced levels in high-tech fields, including high-end chips. However, China's determination to innovate and pursue development is as solid as a rock. It is important to note that China's technological self-reliance is not only related to the development rights of its over 1.4 billion people but also concerns its ability to provide higher-quality public goods to the world.

Nepal's Prime Minister, KP Sharma Oli, who took office in July, is making an official visit to China from Monday to Thursday. This visit breaks the tradition of Nepali prime ministers making their first official visit to India after taking office, highlighting Nepal's emphasis on its relationship with China.

If Manila still stubbornly ties itself to the US agenda, it will only bring volatility and insecurity to itself and the region. It is time for the Marcos administration to heed the voice of the people and appeals of other regional countries and stop its dangerous, self-defeating maneuvers. If it doesn't, it could become an expendable pawn of someone else.

On December 3, the Internet Society of China, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the China Semiconductor Industry Association, and the China Association of Communications Enterprises issued statements declaring that US chip products are no longer safe and reliable, calling on domestic companies to exercise caution when purchasing US chips.

The US military-industrial complex benefits from war.

US President Joe Biden is fulfilling his promise to visit the African country of Angola. Previously, Biden had postponed a planned visit to the country in October due to the hurricane in Florida.

In the face of the worsening global drug crisis, China, as a responsible major power, actively supports and participates in the creation of a global anti-drug system under the framework of the United Nations International Drug Control Conventions. Additionally, China proactively promotes the institutionalization of anti-drug cooperation through bilateral, multilateral and regional mechanisms. In doing so, China contributes its experience, solutions and strength to the global governance of drug-related issues, fulfilling its responsibilities as a major power and embracing its duty for the future of humanity.

The 2024 Understanding China Conference is being held in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, from Monday to Wednesday. What is the significance of understanding China? How should Europe understand China amid a time of global turmoil and changes? Are more Europeans willing to have a positive interaction with China? Maria João Rodrigues (Rodrigues), president of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies and former member of the European Parliament, discussed these issues with Global Times (GT) reporter Li Aixin.

The US Typhon missile system, which was transported from the US to northern Philippines for joint military exercises early this year, was supposed to leave the country but has since then been retained. This situation seems to have emboldened some analysts, who hype the "China threat" as the reason for the missile deployment in the Philippines and accused China of "seeking to impose its will on neighbors." In particular, Army Brigadier General Michael Logico, spokesman of the military exercises, was cited by the media as saying, "China has no right to tell us what to do."

Xinjiang is a microcosm of China's development. The right of over 1.4 billion people to pursue modernization is undeniable and unstoppable; it represents a significant advancement in human civilization. Including Xinjiang, China's modernization process will undoubtedly provide new development opportunities for various countries and regions and contribute to global shared prosperity. The slander directed at Xinjiang by entities like the BBC cannot tarnish the region's reputation, nor can it hinder its development; it only exposes their own narrow-mindedness and will leave an embarrassing mark in history.

The achievements China has made in green transformation and addressing climate change are widely recognized around the world. However, some Western media outlets have chosen to deliberately turn a blind eye, persistently smearing China's efforts with an extremely arrogant and narrow-minded attitude. This fully exposes the double standards of the West when it comes to environmental issues.

US State Department must respond to the CES visa denials case promptly

The new US government's adjustments to its European policies will inevitably bring greater uncertainties to US-Europe relations, and this transatlantic partnership may enter a challenging phase.

Wielding the tariff stick under the pretext of the fentanyl issue may trigger an increase in domestic prices, greatly intensify the risk of a trade war, and weaken the enthusiasm of countries subject to increased tariffs to share intelligence and engage in joint operations with US law enforcement agencies in anti-drugs efforts. It will also undermine an international cooperation network to jointly combat transnational drug trafficking.

The 2024 Understanding China Conference is being held in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, from Monday to Wednesday. As the gathering this year has attracted far more participants than previous events, what signal does this send? What is the most important aspect of China that needs to be understood? Kyle Ferrana(Ferrana), American writer, author of the book, Why the World Needs China: Development, Environmentalism, Conflict Resolution & Common Prosperity, shared his insights with Global Times(GT) reporter Li Aixin.

The annual CES (formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show) is set to take place in Las Vegas, the US. It is reported that around 4,000 exhibitors from around the world have registered to attend, with more than 30 percent of them coming from China. However, latest media reports indicated that many employees from Chinese technology companies were denied US visas despite holding invitations to attend. Some commentators have called this visa rejection "unprecedented." So far, there has been no official response from the US government on this matter. We urge the US Department of State to verify relevant reports as soon as possible, reduce visa and entry policy obstacles, facilitate normal people-to-people business and industrial exchanges between the two countries, and implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state.

According to Japanese media, the US Space Force has stood up its most recent overseas component in Japan. This follows a similar component created in South Korea, both falling under its "Indo-Pacific" component command created in 2022.

No one doubts that the fentanyl and illegal drug crisis in the US is real. But in a move that has not gone unnoticed in China, the president-elect is using the epidemic of drug abuse as a justification for adding tariffs onto Chinese-produced goods entering the US.

The US can't solve its fentanyl epidemic by pointing fingers abroad while ignoring problems at home.

Tadashi Yanai, CEO of Uniqlo's parent company, Fast Retailing, recently stated in a BBC interview that the company is not using cotton from China's Xinjiang region. His remarks have triggered a backlash against the brand among some Chinese consumers, while simultaneously reignited discussions about the challenges multinational corporations (MNCs) face amid global geopolitical tensions.

The escalation of recent tensions between China and the Philippines raises concerns among neighboring countries in the South China Sea. How will the Philippines' provocations, instigated and supported by the US, affect the situation in the South China Sea? Why does ASEAN hope that the situation will be contained?

Washington seems to have become somewhat obsessive in its fixation on “containing China."

“Building a just world and a sustainable planet” is not only a response to the pressing global ecological and governance challenges but also a solemn commitment to future generations. As we move steadily toward this goal, global ecological governance will enter a new era of multilateral, coordinated, and low-carbon progress.

The militarization of the South China Sea, initiated by the US, has become increasingly intense. Moving forward, attention should be focused on the activities of the US Marine Corps and the application of unmanned combat platforms.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger famously stated, "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." To US allies, they should particularly be careful: With allies like the US, who needs enemies?

The supply chain belongs to the world, not to any single company or country, and it should not be used as a weapon.

The facts fully demonstrate that China's development is a contribution to world peace.

The current "weapon escalation" underscores the spiraling strategic contest between the US and Russia in Ukraine, highlighting the determination of all sides to avoid defeat.

The US must face the root cause of the fentanyl crisis, take on the responsibilities of a great power, and demonstrate leadership in solving this global public health issue through cooperation and dialogue, rather than using it as a tool for political attacks.

The Philippines has become an outlier state when it comes to the ASEAN position, as the ASEAN way is balancing China and the US, the two major powers, while seeking a peaceful settlement of disputes, avoiding conflict and promoting amity among nations.

The Group of Twenty (G20) Leaders' Summit was recently concluded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Created in 1999 and convened at the leaders' level since 2008, the G20 provides a platform for global economic communication and action-oriented coordination.

During his ongoing visit to China, Singapore's Senior Minister and former prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, shared a profound insight: "China's development is an enterprise that will take a century." This statement, rich in wisdom, invites us to consider the long-term implications of China's growth.

China has developed a systemic, holistic and global foreign policy. This is due to several factors. First, China's significant participation in the world economy requires the country to have a broad and multidimensional vision of its international presence. Second, its responsibilities as a permanent member of the UN Security Council position it as an essential actor for the stability of the international order.

Joining AUKUS could pose potential risks for New Zealand.

US President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday that on his first day in office he would impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10 percent tariff on imports from China, as part of his effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. This rhetoric is unacceptable to China, as numerous facts have already proven that the idea of China knowingly allowing fentanyl precursors to flow into the US runs completely counter to facts and reality. For both China-US economic cooperation and the still-shaky global economic system, the US' provocations in restarting a trade war will have severe negative consequences.

A recent video interview published by the Financial Times (FT) caused a backlash online. In the video titled "Should the US ban Chinese drones?" the publication presented a "textbook" process of fabricating and spreading misinformation. One insider interviewed by FT confidently claimed that the group photo of DJI employees, in reality taken in front of the former site of the Huangpu Military Academy in a 4A-level scenic area in China, was "evidence" of "military training" to prove that "DJI has links with the Chinese military." As of November 27, the video remains on the FT website, with no corrections or apologies from FT.

The development of China-Singapore relations is symbolic. Regardless of how the international landscape evolves, China's persistence in being a good neighbor and partner to its surrounding countries will never change.

The G7 constantly talks about its "unwavering commitment" to Kiev, yet never stops its "unwavering smearing" against China.

Regardless of changes in the US administration, the US and Europe's containment strategy against Russia is not expected to change, and their competition with Russia in Eurasia will not weaken. In countries such as Georgia, Armenia and Moldova, where the situation is relatively complex, the game may become more intense.

In general, the "green cold war" seeking to build barriers in global green cooperation and economic development represents a setback in global progress.

US war machine

China's orientation toward peace and its principled positions in international relations are opening people's eyes.

It is important to recognize that although the international community shares a common goal in addressing climate change, different countries vary in their stages of development, international influence, and perspectives on the issue.

It tests the wisdom of the UK to have a sophisticated approach to be effective in dealing with China.

Education and cultural exchange have always been vital glue across national borders that keeps people respectful and trusting of each other and, therefore, contribute to peace and prosperity.

What is needed for excessively securitized Japan now is the effort of "de-securitization."

As China continues to diversify its economy and strengthen its domestic market, the effectiveness of tariffs as a policy tool may be reaching its limits.

Visa policies are viewed as a barometer of the political relations between two countries, reflecting their warmth or strain. Recent communication between the leaders of China and Japan has played a pivotal role in creating a more favorable atmosphere between China and Japan.

The current disengagement efforts at relevant border points are merely the first step toward easing border tensions and promoting the improvement of bilateral relations.

Looking forward, there is immense potential to be tapped in China's high-speed rail.

That reality alone ought to lead to significant questions about the reliability of such a document. Unfortunately, because of the current anti-China hysteria embedded into the collective psyche of political elites, no one will dare quibble.

Bill Blair cites China's military buildup as reason to boost defence spending

Brazil held the G20 Leaders' Summit on November 18-19 in Rio de Janeiro. The G20 is considered a turning point for the Global South, but how will the growing voice of the Global South in such multilateral institutions affect global cooperation and order? Why experiences from China are most worth learning for Global South countries? Gert Grobler (Grobler), a former senior diplomat in the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation, shared his views with Global Times (GT) reporter Wang Zixuan on these issues.

We hope the US can tone down its "awkward performances" and focus more energy and effort on genuinely advancing regional peace and stability.

The sentencing of the 45 separatists sends a very clear and unequivocal message to those 2019 rioters and their supporters that national security should be taken seriously, and I am sure they will be deterred.

China will continue to uphold the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win outcomes, seeking its own development while firmly maintaining world peace and development, and using its own progress to better uphold global peace and development.

What does China's successful story of lifting 800 million people out of poverty tell the global community? Can China's experience in poverty reduction provide some lessons for other countries?

Where are the "human rights" and "humanitarian values" that the US so often proclaims? Is it really that “Palestinian Lives Don't Matter”?

The dimensions of “South-South” cooperation will be enriched and expanded, providing stronger leverage for global peace and stability.

Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law, and the fundamental principle is that laws must be followed and violations must be punished.

The strength of the momentum for improvement in bilateral relations in the future will largely depend on the sincerity of the Indian side. It is hoped that India can allow consensus, rather than differences, to shape China-India relations.

A congressional panel has recommended that the US toughen its trade relationship with Beijing, which is a suicide mission.

No matter how US policies toward Latin America change, they will struggle to dissolve the deep-seated contradictions in bilateral relations.

The Airshow China 2024 tells a story of transformation. China's manufacturing is no longer just following – it's competing and, in some areas, leading. As a popular internet saying goes, “You can never underestimate how hard Chinese people can work!”

The most important contribution of the G20's “Global South moment” has been the consolidation of the principle that the solution to today's challenges must be found in universal, equitable and inclusive mechanisms.

The G20's 16-year journey has repeatedly demonstrated the tremendous synergy that can be generated when developed and emerging countries work together.

The past decade of the WIC Wuzhen Summit has been a period of China contributing to internet governance, offering Chinese wisdom, and fulfilling its responsibilities as a major power.

1,000 days since the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Developing countries in BRICS, APEC and G20 are making it clear that the majority of nations seek institutions and approaches that can facilitate greater collaboration and coordination.

Warm words and positive messaging mean nothing if they are not followed by concrete action.

In the current context, where global challenges demand an integrated response, multilateralism remains the most effective approach to ensuring fair and open trade.

Today, the G20, while focusing on economic and development issues, has further increased its attention to building a more equitable and reasonable global governance system.

Chancay Port is a solid infrastructure for regional economic and trade cooperation, and increasingly close economic and trade exchanges will further accelerate the integration process of the Latin American economy.

Australia's risky gamble in aligning with Japan's military expansion

The notion of a community with a shared future expresses well what happens between Latin American countries and China.

Instead of working to increase cooperation with its largest trading partner, Australia will commence regular military drills with Japan. There is a very good reason why this could be seen as a serious political misstep for the government.

Although the EU is one of US' largest trade and investment partners, if Brussels expects fair and reciprocal treatment, where benefits are shared equally, from Washington, it is unrealistic.

The development of China-Latin America's economic and trade relations is not just a trend, but an inevitable outcome.

In the current situation, the common interests of China and the US have not diminished; rather, they have increased.

G7 confirms pledge to support Ukraine. But what next?

It has become an urgent question that NATO must address to understand what kind of “NATO 2.0” will be created in the next four years of transatlantic interaction and how to correct its course and hedge against the potential turbulence that Washington may cause.

International audiences care more about authentic cultural works and values than about political conspiracy theories.

Forums like APEC are crucial for keeping the discussion of fair and open trade on the table, serving as vital platforms to advocate for a rules-based multilateral trading system.

For APEC economies, pursuing develop is far more important and meaningful than competition for influence.

The Global South is working together to enhance its representation and voice within the global governance system, assuming shared but differentiated responsibilities, and aiming to play a larger role globally.

China's annual production of new energy vehicles (NEVs) surpassed the 10 million milestone for the first time, making China the world's first country to achieve this milestone.

If relevant countries adopt a more open and inclusive approach toward green industry and trade, the world's next “green milestone” will arrive even sooner.

The US has forgotten what healthy competition truly looks like.

Whether COP29 can be a climate conference that upholds commitments and makes progress in climate institutional innovation is of great importance.

The creation of the EU's defense and space commissioner reflects the bloc's political ambition in the field of defense integration and participation in the global space governance competition. However, the EU needs to face several challenges in achieving its goals.

It's important that APEC holds onto the roots of why this platform was started. In that sense, the economic operation should be the main focus or the driver. China is increasing its influence in the world and becoming an important voice.

The recent comment of David Lammy on the Jimmy Lai case is confusing and jarring especially coming from a high-level official of an administration seeking to mend relations with China.

In the future, as the high-quality Belt and Road cooperation between China and LAC countries accelerates, the big ship of the China-LAC community with a shared future will carry more dreams and hopes, sailing toward an even brighter decade ahead.

The military-industrial complex is fueling climate catastrophe.

APEC plays an increasingly important role, especially at a time when multilateralism is under threat. The key advantage of APEC is that it brings together both the Global North and South, serving as a forum that links them, especially the US, China and Russia.

The increased "third-party preference" in Southeast Asia reflects the problems in US policy. It's hard to change Southeast Asian countries' stance to maintain a balance between China and the US and refuse to take sides.

China-Brazil relations aren't just another trade story. It's a tale of how two nations, separated by vast oceans, have found their economic destinies intertwined through rust-colored rocks

COP29 should inspire confidence and hope in the international community by addressing the issue of how to “materialize” ambition, ensuring that ambition does not remain empty talk or become a tool for achieving other goals.

The growth of the airshow is a testament to the progress of China's national defense. Through Airshow China, China has demonstrated the innovative achievements and strong capabilities of its aerospace industry, while also reflecting the country's open attitude and commitment to peaceful development in high-tech fields.

Although expansion is now an urgent priority for the EU, doubts remain about whether the EU can resolve its internal cohesion issues.

Instead of criticizing China and other BRICS countries, the US and some Western countries should seriously consider the G20's original intention, that is, to solve global problems and accommodate diverse voices.

The arms sales reveal the US' intention to economically extort Taiwan region through selling weapons, while benefiting American arms dealers which can profit from escalating tensions.

The US military assistance to the Philippines is essentially designed to serve its own strategic interests. The US has been stoking tensions over disputes in the South China Sea, attempting to drag Southeast Asia into the path of bloc politics and factional confrontation, which is a dangerous direction that deserves caution.

Manila is so intoxicated with this dangerous path that it no longer even realizes it, even rushing to offer itself as a pawn.

Manila should recognize that its collusion with the US is turning the South China Sea into a volatile and dangerous zone, going against the long-standing consensus and expectations of regional countries. It is positioning itself as a disruptor, a destabilizer, and a culprit in undermining regional peace and stability.

The evidence is clear: international cooperation, not confrontation, better serves American industrial interests.

The US has a tremendous opportunity to steer its relations with China toward a path that will benefit both nations and the international community. The question is: Will the new US government take advantage of it?

Trying to understand China with a Cold War mentality says more about one's ignorance than about China. It is time for us to study China more broadly, calmly and open-mindedly.

Many are skeptical about how much success Britain can be expected to have in establishing long-term and mutually beneficial relationships with African nations.

The development of China-Latin America relations aligns with the global trends and historical currents, meets the shared interests of China and Latin American countries, and will achieve new and greater development in the future.

Committed to high-quality development of greater BRICS cooperation, BRICS countries will continue to work for the common good of humanity and build, BRICS by BRICS, a community with a shared future for mankind.

What a flagship project like the Chancay Port has taught us is that the desire for development cannot be artificially blocked and cooperation will always speed up the pace of development.

China's strategy for dealing with external turbulences is multifaceted and comprehensive. This comprehensive approach instills confidence in China's ability to navigate the challenges such as the trade war.

COP29 will take place from November 11 to 22 in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan.

For the new US government, dealing with China should not be a zero-sum game of "life or death."

ASEAN leaders should focus on solving problems using ASEAN's approach and values. Our conflict resolution in this region is to use the diplomatic approach to address issues.

The Philippines' two maritime laws are detrimental measures that cause multiple harm to both regional partners and the Philippines itself while resulting in a reduction in regional peace and tranquility.

Willingly playing the role of a pawn means facing an inevitable outcome as a discarded piece, and “Taiwan independence” separatists should harbor no illusions about this.

In international relations, there should always be room to accommodate disagreements between countries. It should be possible for two nations to have profound geopolitical differences but a healthy economic relationship. It is also crucial that there is consistency.

China-US relations are not a multiple-choice question involving whether or not to do a good job, but a must-answer question on how to do a good job.

In "China Travel" and "World Travel" that move toward each other, we see a more open China, and the significance of China's high level of opening-up extends far beyond that.

ASEAN countries have a clear view of the Philippines' intentions.

If you look at the long-term trajectory, I think Europe should ask itself some serious questions, such as whether aligning its foreign policy with the US in the long run is beneficial for Europe.

While China is making positive contributions to the global economy, the US is doing the opposite.

The EU's "decentralization" process will continue to develop, and the "Franco-German axis" is gradually losing control over the EU's strategic direction.

China's development is an opportunity for the world.

The GMS cooperation, much like this great river, brings together the aspirations of the people along its banks for prosperous development, forming a torrent of shared destiny and collaborative efforts. With the support of mechanisms such as the GMS economic cooperation, the future potential is limitless.

For Australia, continuing to adopt the US' Cold War mentality and constantly amplifying the "China threat" brings no benefit.

The competition for influence between China and the US in Africa seems to be a question of who invests more. Still, it is actually a question of how to help Africa develop.

As a leading marketplace and a showcase of China's opening-up, CIIE serves as a convincing public good of China and of the world.

How far will a new Japanese administration try to push the envelope in seeking to extend the limitations of its ability to act not solely as America's principal client state in the region, but also to find a space in which it can begin to flex its own muscle?

To some extent, US sanctions have become a driving force behind China's continued advancements in key fields.

As one of the world's top five airshows, Airshow China has become an important platform for showcasing international aviation and aerospace advanced technology and high-end equipment, as well as promoting exchanges and cooperation.

Some Australian politicians' tendency to overstretch the concept of security is a typical behavior that manipulates security issues to hinder economic cooperation.

Whether the US can continue to be a "melting pot" of diverse races has become a "hurdle" the country must face, both now and in the future.

Prabowo, through deepening cooperation with China, shows not only his sense of responsibility for national development, but also his determination to promote regional cooperation within a multilateral framework.

It is reported that the 2024 election cycle in the US has already cost political organizations $14.7 billion.

October 2024 will be recorded in history as a month when a paradigm-shifting breakthrough happened in the relations between India and China.

The world says no to US' embargo of Cuba again.

Through the CIIE, China will work with the world to pursue development and prosperity, supporting more countries in getting on board the "express train" of Chinese modernization.

The Canadian government had done an excellent job of hiding Indigenous policy from the Canadian public.

The real problem is that we don't know how to navigate the rise of China because our politicians rarely consult specialists - people who truly understand not just China, but Asia as a whole.

The DPP authorities have employed all methods to obstruct and undermine cross-Straits cultural exchanges, fundamentally out of fear that compatriots on both sides will draw closer together.

The facts have proven that as China's technological self-reliance continues to strengthen, this US strategy will ultimately backfire.

Upholding independence and autonomy, developing diversified relationships, and pursuing development are the mainstream voices of the Global South. The West's attempt to control and manipulate these countries' independent choices is a pipe dream, increasingly rejected by the Global South.

China will not deliberately seek to decouple its supply chain and industrial chain from the US, nor will it make replacing the US a strategic goal.

American B-52 bombers arrived in the Middle East on Saturday after Washington announced their deployment as a warning to Iran.

What does it say about the EU when countries like Spain opens its doors to China while at the same time the European Commission is trying to slam them shut? It says Europe's approach to China is dysfunctional and needs a reality check.

In the context of a complex European political and security environment, Fico's visit profoundly reflects Slovakia's strategic autonomy, demonstrating its ability to independently assess shifts in regional and global power structures and to align itself with the global trends of peace and development.

In the South China Sea issue, it would be better if the external countries did not get involved, as they come with their own political agendas and seek to engage in geopolitical competition. If you are not aware of these strategies, you could become a victim of geopolitical competition.

Is it really about national security?

To succumb to the pressures from the US and the domestic far-right forces, Australia has been in effect enhancing its role as a military threat to China's security, which will lead to China's mounting vigilance against Australia,

Cuba's struggle is a microcosm of the hegemonic behavior of the US in an attempt to control other countries through unilateral sanctions, but instead stand opposite to the majority in the world.

With China-Slovakia economic, trade, and people exchanges entering the fast lane, it is expected that the potential and advantages of China-CEE cooperation will be further explored.

One-sided information makes the Americans unable to make intelligent assessments of the Russia-Ukraine situation.

The EU's tariff decree represents a 21st-century "horse-drawn carriage protection law," which seeks to close markets and exclude fair competition, essentially sheltering its own underperforming capacity in the EV sector in a greenhouse. This is a step back for free trade.

This historical dominance of Western colonizers gives those old colonial countries an advantage in climate negotiations, standard-setting, and the corresponding allocation of resources and environmental market tools.

The Taiwan Straits is not a stage for any external forces to put on a political show. Any provocation and harm to China's sovereignty and security regarding the Taiwan question is firmly opposed. The Taiwan question is China's internal affair, and maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits hinges on firmly opposing "Taiwan independence."

The European Commission concluded its anti-subsidy investigation by imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of battery electric vehicles (EVs) from China for a period of five years, the commission said in a press release seen on its website on Tuesday.

The "three-legged" strategy of the US government toward China is inherently flawed in each of its facets and faces difficulties in reality.

The desire for the US election to bring stability to the world is a sentiment shared by many after experiencing too much international turmoil and crisis, including the upheaval caused by the US election itself.

The European Commission's decision to raise tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) is now official. This hardly comes as a surprise. Rounds of difficult negotiations between China and the EU failed to avert the protectionist trade measure.

The EU would also lose credibility if it had been pushing the electric car by all means for years for reasons of climate protection, but now it has obstructed unwelcome foreign suppliers who could contribute to the realization of the proclaimed targets.

China will continue to promote international space exchanges and cooperation in various forms with an open mind, share development achievements with other countries, improve outer space governance, and make space scientific and technological achievements more beneficial to mankind, so that the wisdom of mankind with a shared future will be ventured into the vast expanse of space.

Indulging in stirring troubles in the South China Sea just for the sake of obtaining “prominence” will only strengthen the world's negative impression of the Philippines.

The CIA recently posted on social media instructions in Chinese on how to contact it online, in an attempt to lure Chinese personnel to be their informant. This seriously infringes on China's national interest.

ASEAN should not adhere to a traditional mind-set when assessing regional security politics, especially as it engages with AUKUS – a large corporate entity that will employ any means to gain economic profit from war.

The rising China and India are becoming increasingly aware of their rich traditions and of their unique ancient wisdom. And, their strategic patience paradigm is not only going to guide their bilateral relations but it can also be the mantra for international relations.

The value of the GCI lies in its foundation of cultural diversity and harmonious coexistence, emphasizing mutual respect, equal dialogue and in-depth exchanges among different civilizations.

China-India relations have never been one-dimensional, nor are they bound by a “dragon vs elephant” rivalry narrative. The border issue is not the entirety of the bilateral relationship, and mutually beneficial cooperation aligns with the shared interests of both countries.

Since 2000, China and Africa have been holding FOCAC every three years. It is no wonder that China is Africa's largest two-way trading partner and has already exceeded US-Africa trade by a factor of four.

One must question the feasibility of Britain's relevance in the Pacific: Is Britain really significant in the Pacific anymore? The answer is no. The UK government would be wise to fix things at home before attempting to fight conflicts on the other side of the world, which are in fact far removed from “British interests.”

In the South China Sea, China proactively carried out a wealth of public goods, ranging from meteorological services to environmental protection, transportation upgradation and maritime escort. Meanwhile, what are the US and the Philippines up to? The answer is simple: stirring up conflict and undermining stability.

Recently, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai's remarks faced a rebuttal from the Chinese Embassy in Brazil. During her participation in the B20 business summit in Sao Paulo, she suggested that Brazil should "look at the risks" before joining the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation. Clearly, Tai's trip to Brazil is another instance of "an educator on a business trip," as the narrative of portraying China as a "risk" is steeped in the specter of "Monroe Doctrine."

Europe is dependent on China, and China is similarly dependent on the EU. This interdependence creates a common interest in minimizing the negative impacts on our trade relations.

From harmonious courtesy to working together in harmony, and then to nurturing all things together, we build a peaceful China, a law-based China, and then a beautiful China... In the comprehensive construction of a socialist country, harmony is an essential value for consideration.

Katherine Tai's warning to Brazil reveals a power ideology that regards Brazil as a "geopolitical backyard" of the US, demonstrating a fundamental lack of respect for both the Brazilian government and its people.

The Global South countries, through #BRICS and other platforms, are taking steps to find alternative pathways to national and regional development, says BRICS experts.

EP-3E is a small aircraft, it carries significant lessons and should serve as a warning sign to the US.

The mass participation of Latin American and Caribbean countries in the BRI underscores this growing relationship, with investments in infrastructure and renewable energy projects further strengthening these ties.

As we navigate the current turbulent times, it is imperative that we bear in mind the lessons of the past and make sure history will not repeat itself.

The development of the BRICS mechanism to date is a result of practical and steady work in the right direction, building a new world brick by brick.
