USCG is "pepper-sprinkling" its cutters into China's adjacent waters. Will it unfold as the US wishes?

In light of public outcry and the realities of regional cooperation, the Philippine government should recognize that national sovereignty and the well-being of its people must take precedence. It should avoid entrenching itself in an exclusive alliance like PaxSilica.

A meme on X has gone vital: China and the US successfully recover rocket, while Europe makes sure its bottle cap never leaves the bottle. The joke stings because it's true – not just in technology, but also in mindset.

The Chinese Consulate General in Sao Paulo issued a sharp and solemn statement on Saturday. The statement firmly rejected a joint announcement by the Paraguayan Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies and the US Embassy in Paraguay which made baseless accusations against China regarding so-called malicious cyber activities targeting the Paraguayan government.

Compared with the cheap political theater of smashing fortune cookies, the real challenge is how to deliver tangible benefits to American voters through practical cooperation with China - a question that some US politicians seem unwilling or unable to answer.

China remains open to any country that truly wishes to engage in cooperation for shared benefits. As for the Netherlands, the appropriate course of action is to match this goodwill with tangible steps.

The US turns 250 and fireworks are lighting up the sky. But American top papers reveal the truth: The champion is staring into the mirror and asking – “Can I still win the next fight?”

The most alarming thing is not how much influence Greene personally has, but that Taiwan island has increasingly lost the ability to control its own destiny.

If Canberra's politicians continue to indulge in self-inflicted paranoia, they must realize a simple truth: a bridge requires two sides.

The fact that Washington only rediscovers the importance of the South Pacific region when it feels the chill of “competition with China” speaks volumes about its deep-seated strategic anxiety.

Ultimately, alliances built on "sweet talk" cannot withstand repeated tests of real interests. When promises and actions diverge, trust is inevitably eroded. For India, recalibrating its understanding of the US, moving away from passive dependence, and safeguarding strategic space amid a complex international landscape may well be the only viable path toward genuine independence.

The Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law will further turn institutional and legal strengths into effective governance outcomes. External noise, no matter how loud they become, will never shake China's ethnic unity and progress.

The disappointment expressed by the Indian side highlights the unrealistic expectations that some in New Delhi have always placed on Washington.

Protectionist measures don't create innovation, they don't solve energy crises, and they won't magically rebuild industries overnight.

The only question is whether Washington will continue trying to build walls, or start asking what it can learn from a competitor that has figured out how to do more with less.

The Japanese government may be able to convince certain ill-intentioned countries, through diplomatic rhetoric and foreign aid, that Japan remains a "peaceful nation," but it is finding it increasingly difficult to persuade its own citizens - those who live closest to the military frontlines and know the dangers of war firsthand.

Since Tuesday, the northeastern Chinese coastal city of Dalian has once again entered "Davos Time."

Only when Vilnius musters the political courage to enact this thorough correction, free from the shackles of domestic political theater and foreign lobbying, can bilateral relations return to a healthy track.

The end of a 30-year illusion is never comfortable. But acknowledging it today remains considerably less costly than being forced to acknowledge it tomorrow.

From the Zhanatas wind power plant in Kazakhstan to the pump station cluster project in Uzbekistan's Fergana and Andijan regions, cooperation between China and its Central Asian neighbors is weaving isolated green initiatives into a highly integrated regional ecological network. A green transformation is stretching from the foot of the Tianshan to the broader region, having only just shifted into "drive."

Unlike relations between countries that are often driven by calculated interests or political positioning, there is something deeper behind the China-Greece relationship. It combines tangible mutual benefits, heartfelt support in crises, and profound appreciation between two ancient civilizations.

Some Australian observers appear to have fallen back into a familiar pattern of self-generated security anxiety.

China's governance is not perfect, nor is it a fixed, frozen blueprint. Rather, its strength lies in its evolutionary, “experimentalist” nature.

If the Philippines cannot honor its signature on a foundational document it has pledged to uphold for over two decades, its public displays of "earnest effort" for the COC talks lose all credibility.

A truly great power does not hide behind walls; it opens its doors. Are you ready to come?

The US starts fearing Chinese-made PCBs? When a country begins to view another country's every progress as a threat, it reveals less about its strength than about its growing insecurity. The real problem isn't Chinese PCBs — it's a superpower afraid of fair competition.

As UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper wrapped her visit to China on Wednesday, her repeated emphasis on the need for "dialogue" and "cooperation" during meetings with Chinese officials stood out.

Sincere interactions among ordinary people breathe life into bilateral friendship, and form the enduring bedrock of the China-Pakistan all-weather strategic cooperative partnership.

Every fresh round of restrictions ends up proving the same ironic lesson: You can disrupt supply chains, but you can't put handcuffs on innovation. For China, pressure in, innovation out.

Commander of US Forces Korea Xavier Brunson's "dagger" metaphor was imprudent. The problem it exposed is systemic — it is becoming increasingly difficult for the US to advance a strategic alliance framework aimed at China, and its efforts to maintain its hegemonic position in Asia will prove even more futile.

In a world marked by growing uncertainty and fragmentation, China remains one of the most reliable sources of certainty for global brands.

In today's world, where turmoil and upheaval are intertwined, the Asia-Pacific region has enjoyed long-term stability and prosperity compared to other parts of the world plagued by severe turmoil or armed conflict.

This is the unique romance of Chinese space exploration: It does not flaunt power or pursue monopoly. Instead, it is built on solid technology and a genuine spirit of inclusion. Quietly yet firmly, China is offering the world its most sincere and determined invitation.

In the complex calculus of global diplomacy, influence is often measured in billions of dollars, projects like deep-water ports and critical mineral rights. Yet, occasionally, it is better measured in something far more elemental: a bag of rice.

The dynamic interaction between China and Sweden exemplifies their comprehensive bilateral green partnership: transcending geographical differences, joining hands to address contemporary challenges, and injecting sustained momentum into global green governance through dual empowerment, together writing a promising future of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

Japan is attempting to build a new militaristic state on the shaky foundation of an economic quagmire. It's not hard to see where it leads.

The growth model of the Chinese industry has fundamentally shifted from merely "manufacturing a product" to "perfecting a product to its absolute limits." The West must step down from its self-appointed altar of automotive manufacturing, abandon its arrogance, and view China objectively as a new automotive powerhouse.

China is not a detour on the road to a green future - it is the highway. The smart choice is to drive straight through.

The DPP authorities cannot buy peace with weapons, and they most certainly cannot buy a future. That is the most expensive truth behind their arms purchases.

As the EU erects trade barriers against Chinese EVs, a major European automaker goes the other way: embrace, not resist; bind, not decouple. Despite political rhetoric, business decisions, not summits, truly reshape the world order.

Today, the de-risking mindset has become increasingly dominant in EU policymaking, with the proposal for revision of the CSA serving as another manifestation of that trend. If “security anxiety” continues to override economic rationality, the ultimate victim will most likely be the EU's own development resilience and global competitiveness.

As the American umbrella is pulled away, Europe appears to be finally waking up to the real urgency: it must take its destiny into its own hands. Will Europe finally get serious about its strategic autonomy?

From the reactions of Pakistani delegation members throughout the trip, what I sensed was far more than curiosity about new agricultural technologies. It was also Pakistan's genuine desire to accelerate agricultural modernization.

What truly unsettles Washington is that China-Latin America cooperation rests on solid, tangible foundations.

The contest between China and the US in AI is increasingly defined by two fundamentally different development philosophies: The US is focused on raising the ceiling of what AI can do; China is focused on lowering the floor of who can use it, writes @dinggangchina

What I sensed from the Bangladeshi delegation in China reflected the new Bangladeshi government's interest in deepening ties with China, especially in areas related to innovation, advanced manufacturing, and digital transformation, as well as the strong aspiration of Bangladeshi politicians and the public to accelerate the country's transition toward high-tech development.

The growing caution among Australian media and experts toward closer ties with militaristic Japan reflects a broader recognition of the potential consequences of entanglement in regional conflicts. It is imperative for Australia to stay vigilant and thoughtful in its foreign policy decisions.

Last Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking in Athens alongside Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, made a striking claim: the US, Russia and China are now all "dead against" the Europeans.

Breaking free from the logic of hegemony, opening our eyes to the world and truly embracing multilateralism and international cooperation is the right path for any major power.

Taiwan regional leader Lai Ching-te's visit to Eswatini, scheduled to commence on Wednesday, was “postponed” at the eleventh hour on Tuesday.

When a country that has failed to deeply reflect on its militarist past once again sets foot on lands it once invaded, who can guarantee that history will not repeat itself?

A Chinese-made sweeper, carrying its Eastern melody, has entered a Western city - and the English gentleman need not understand a single syllable of the lyrics to find, after a handful of chance encounters, that the tune has lodged itself in his mind as the sound of a clean street.

From neighboring countries to European states, from conflict-affected regions in the Middle East to developing nations across the Global South, leaders from different regions have been arriving in China one after another. This “wave of visits to China” is the world casting multiple votes of confidence in China through the most direct means – physical presence.

Deepening economic cooperation between China and Vietnam is essential for solidifying the foundation of development in both countries and achieving mutual benefits and win-win outcomes. This mutually beneficial relationship has become a solid bond for jointly pursuing development between the two countries.

The Philippines' current approach - provoking China and undermining its interests on one hand, while seeking cooperation on the other - is unsustainable in the South China Sea. Its way is far from shelving disputes and seeking joint development; it's more like hoping to extract economic benefits from Beijing while scoring political points through confrontation.

Spain's pragmatism and openness reflect a positive, long-standing current in China-Europe relations that is currently drowned out by political noise — the willingness to acknowledge the other's complexity, to resist the urge to disengage, and to seek consensus and resonance through interaction.

Today, as a symbol of China's modernization, Yangshan Port once again enters Taiwan's public imagination, offering a glimpse of the opportunities embedded in the 15th Five-Year Plan.

Through arms sales and a frequent push for arms cooperation in the Asia-Pacific, Japan is not only building up its military-industrial chain and seeking new drivers of economic growth, but also expanding its influence in the regional security landscape and gradually shaping a security dependence centered on itself.

As the spring breeze of 2026 sweeps across the Taiwan Straits, long-frozen cross-Straits relations are showing signs of thawing, bringing a long-awaited touch of warmth.

The war in Iran has provided the world with a window into what awaits hegemonic powers if they fail to keep pace with global progress. The fate of NATO is no exception.

Philippine media recently revealed that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr signed Executive Order No.111 on March 26, unilaterally renaming 131 geographical features within the so-called "Kalayaan Island Group" in China's Nansha Qundao with Philippine names.

The real power of China's Five-Year Plan lies not in its grand narrative but in its capacity for execution.

The consequences of prolonged shutdowns extend far beyond delayed flights and unpaid wages. Over time, prolonged shutdowns contribute to a growing sense of social frustration and instability. How can people trust the US when its political activity is characterized by “destruction” rather than “construction”?

The recent G7 joint statement on Iran is flawed. Such statements don't stop wars; history proves this. What the declaration serves is the G7's reputation management.

What turns the blades of offshore wind farms is not just the wind, but also the principle of win-win cooperation.

Where have all the American China experts gone? This question surfaced in The Washington Post in early 2024, and two years later, it remains unanswered as the issue intensifies.

The US-Israel war against Iran has entered its fourth week. What began as lightning "decapitation strikes" aimed at quick victory is turning into a full-scale quagmire.

Many EU industry voices see adapting to China's success, not isolation, as vital for renewed competitiveness.

Within Europe, discussions about building its own security capabilities and enhancing strategic autonomy are gaining momentum. However, whether this path toward strategic autonomy can be sustained in the long run will ultimately depend on a series of critical choices Europe makes in the future.

A China that keeps breaking new ground through innovation is - product by product, story by story - turning "Cool China" from a concept into a reality that more and more people around the world are "maxxing."

Takaichi's upcoming trip to Washington is a high-stakes diplomatic gamble for Japan. What Japan still hasn't fully grasped is that its long-term future isn't found in Washington's promises. It depends on confronting history honestly, respecting its neighbors and truly committing to the path of peaceful development.

One thousand warships cannot achieve what one negotiating table can. The security of the Strait of Hormuz does not depend on how many navies patrol it. It depends on whether the guns fall silent.

At a time when global trade depends on stable and open logistics networks, attempts to obstruct cooperation through ideological confrontation and strategic rivalry not only undermine the development autonomy of regional countries but also run counter to the broader trend of open cooperation in globalization.

The true sense of security only comes from the peaceful development of cross-Straits ties.

AI must not become a tool of fear and destabilization on a global scale.

With a more institutionalized and systematic framework, China's green transition is set to become more stable, clear, and sustainably driven.

History's irony: Suppression fueled resilience. The Huawei blockade failed to maintain Western dominance. Instead, it accelerated global tech multipolarity, a pivotal 21st-century shift with profound political, economic and security implications.

714.88 million tons is more than a statistic – it is a statement of confidence. 500 kilograms of grain per capita is more than a milestone – it is a measure of responsibility.

The concocted term “post-Dalai era” is neither a mathematical demarcation of a person's lifespan or influence, nor a simple judgment regarding religious succession. Rather, it is an attempt by certain forces to exploit semantic divisions and conceptual ambiguities in China's Xizang-related legal terminology for political maneuvers.

Ultimately, the malicious smears against China's nuclear policy from Uncle Sam, the “Don Qui-nuke,” attempt to seek legitimacy for its own nuclear ambitions.

Four years into the Ukraine crisis serve as a stark reminder for the world: hegemonism, bloc politics, and confrontational alliances only lead to war, and conflicts produce no winners.

From homegrown flavors to a cosmopolitan spread, this 20-year transformation in the Chinese festival dinner table bears witness to China's embrace of the world.

Certain forces in the US have made no secret of its desire in Latin America. Besides Panama Canal and Venezuela's oil, they also openly smeared Peru's Chancay Port.

Only when Western commentators break free from the confines of established theory and fixated ideological prejudices, can they approach China as a civilization with its own distinctive logic of governance, begin to truly understand China's development, and confront their own problems.

In this context of increasing US pressure, Canada's efforts to strengthen engagement with China, diversify its economic and trade relationships, and secure greater autonomy in a multipolar world represent a rational strategy to protect its long-term interests and reduce dependence on a single ally.

Lai's sentence is a solemn declaration of sovereignty, security and the spirit of the rule of law. It announces that the dignity of the law is not to be trampled upon and that the bottom line of national security is not to be crossed. More profoundly, as a landmark case since the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, the Jimmy Lai case provides crucial legal guidance and certainty for future practice.

A quiet but profound shift is reshaping the geopolitical map of South America, as revealed by an exclusive Reuters report, "Brazil signals new openness to Mercosur-China talks as Beijing seeks deeper ties": For the first time, senior Brazilian officials are considering a push for a "partial" trade agreement between the Mercosur bloc and China.

Reunification is a matter of time, not a question of whether it will happen. Taiwan island, it is time to wake up.

It seems Western media outlets have been loading the Chinese economy and society with more dramatic weight than a "crying horse" could ever carry.

There is an old Chinese saying: when the winds of change blow, some people build walls while others build windmills. Starmer's trip to China was, in essence, a pragmatic attempt to adapt to these "winds" and adjust accordingly

Amid a growing trend among some Western countries to reflect on their over-dependence on the US and seek to diversify partnerships, certain Australian forces remain entrenched in the mind-set of binding Australia closely to the US.

For a country like Uruguay, the risk is securing greater policy autonomy without provoking Washington. That balancing act is becoming an increasingly visible feature of Latin America's engagement with China.

After Europe stoops to US' will for too long, straightening up now may bring sharp backache and unsteady footing. This is only natural. Yet if Europe does not stand tall today, the longer it delays, the more difficult the effort will become.

The story of Chinese games going global is both a narrative of industrial progress and a chapter in cross-cultural dialogue. Every steady step forward adds a new footnote to the evolving story of “Created in China.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte once again poured cold water on Europe's debate over “strategic autonomy” by bluntly claiming on Monday that Europe is “dreaming” if it thinks it can defend itself without the US. Rutte might consider taking California Governor Gavin Newsom's “advice”: If maintaining the transatlantic relationship requires such a subservient posture, he might as well put on knee pads.

What do the divergent foreign media narratives about Starmer's China visit reveal? The ideological narrative on China in Europe still possesses inertia, yet pragmatic engagement is increasingly becoming the practical choice. In a turbulent international environment, pursuing dialogue and cooperation is, in itself, a positive and realistic choice.

The world will not reorganize into neat “West VS East” camps. Instead, we will see fluid, overlapping, partial alliances and transactional networks. Canada's deal with China is not an isolated incident. It is a signal that the American-led order based on geographic and ideological division is disintegrating from within.

We need not obsess over whether the WSJ leak on US' Cuba regime change timetable is accurate. The true danger lies not in a specific timeline, but in Washington's rooted mindset of treating intervention as a right and hegemony as order. As long as the machinery of the new Monroe Doctrine exists, peace in Latin America will remain fragile.

The statements at Davos have sent a clear political signal of Europe's awakening. Moving forward, Europe must consolidate its strength through unity, steer its own course with greater autonomy, and expand its strategic space through diversification.

"Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution." This is a well-known saying most Chinese are familiar with. Europe has long believed the US is its friend, but does the US view Europe the same way?
