As the trade war between the US and Canada escalates, some US media outlets are already rushing to turn their sights on China.

The so-called "Oriental Shield 26," a Japan-US-Australia joint military exercise, serves as a textbook case of how large-scale bloc-style military drills are being rebranded as "cooperation," while injecting confrontation, forward-deployed firepower, and bloc politics into an already fragile Asia-Pacific security environment.

A Chinese student went missing in South Korea and was later found dead. The news hits hard. The recurring tragedies of Chinese citizens encountering danger or death overseas once again underscore the necessity of strengthening safety safeguards.

Liao Mei-ran, a "fortune teller" on the island of Taiwan, recently made the absurd claim that "people in Beijing don't have refrigerators" on a pro-independence political talk show.

Nagatanien, a well-known Japanese food brand, was recently found to have its miso soup products actually produced in China.

The value of China's recent robotics events lies less in a single headline-grabbing performance than in the industrial system behind it.

The story of Sakolsky and Yin is also a mirror. If two ordinary people who were complete strangers could cooperate to plant 50,000 trees, then the value that more people and broader cooperation can create is immeasurable.

The heavy price Panama is paying has bought it little more than the role of counting money for others.

Australia's new ambassador to Japan Andrew Shearer seems to have taken on a job far bigger than managing ties with Tokyo: he is busy pitching a new "Indo-Pacific" network to counter China.

China's three consecutive months of $100 billion-plus trade surplus is mainly attributable to a combination of rising export values and falling import costs.

Once, countless people looked on with envy as SpaceX's Falcon 9 repeatedly achieved successful recoveries. Today, we can finally say: The Chinese made it.

The more Washington tries to secure its technological edge through isolation, the more it risks undermining its competitiveness.

Washington just pulled its last carrier out of Asia to cover the Middle East. Overstretch isn't a theory anymore – the bill is here.

Teodoro must answer a fundamental question: Is he the Defense Secretary of the Philippines, or a "vanguard" of anti-China forces?

When the ice of zero-sum thinking shatters under the sunlight of reality, humanity will inevitably return to a simple yet solid starting point: On this new, fateful voyage of AI, only through co-opetition and symbiosis can we move steadily and far.

Today, the DPP's biggest problem is that it has grown accustomed to relying on "red-baiting" to sustain itself in every election, turning to rumor-mongering to deflect pressure, and casting itself as a "victim" whenever challenged.

The latest lifting of restrictions on TikTok at the US federal government level marks another step toward normalized operations for the company, while simultaneously signaling that the world of the likes of Gordon Chang has once again collapsed.

What if these export controls end up harming the very interests they claim to "protect"?

Six months in, and it is not Iran's will that is running out. It is US missiles.

On Friday in the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey signed a major deal that is already shaking up global public opinion.

NewZealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters got a slap in the face as Pacific Island nations did not reach consensus on issuing a statement criticizing China's missile test launch

For all their loud talk about “fighting to the last man,” the DPP's actions betray them as they diligently rehearse their escape routes during the "HanKuang" military exercises on Taiwan island. This proves that the DPP authorities know better than anyone else: pursuing "Taiwan independence" is a dead end.

The US was the first country to recognize #Brazil's independence in 1822. More than 200 years later, Washington appears to still have not fully understood what it means to “recognize” a country's “independence.” The US needs to recognize that the world has changed. GlobalSouth countries now possess an updated and diverse toolkit to safeguard their autonomy against US' hegemonic coercion.

Guilty of eating sunflower seeds? The US sanctions on Chacha Food over alleged “forced labor” in China's Xinjiang exposes the absurdity of Washington's crackdown move. When the sanctions hammer falls on a humble sunflower seed, it reveals not strength, but the growing desperation behind Washington's China containment strategy.

In the US, different bureaucratic fiefdoms pursue contradictory policies. Even Silicon Valley itself is fractured. The inevitable internal conflicts within the US China strategy are the root cause of its AI policy dilemma. Until that reckoning occurs, expect more chaos. The only question is: How much longer can Americans pretend that it can be managed away?

An entirely routine business collaboration has been twisted by certain US politicians and media outlets into "evidence" of endorsing so-called “forced labor.”

New Zealand foreign minister Winston Peters' recent racist remarks have given the world a glimpse of how concerning the behavior is among certain political figures in a country that prides itself on being "democratic," "diverse," and "inclusive."

The real issue is not what AIT has done, but what it is becoming - a variable that may disrupt the stability of China-US relations.

Has Japanese diplomacy really sunk so low that a hallway brush-past and a polite nod now count as "diplomatic dialogue"?

That "ally checklist" Blinken waves around is less a solid bloc and more a leaky sieve.

Open weights or closed models? That question now sits at the heart of who controls AI's future.

Industrial logic does not yield to political narratives.

Why are some Western media outlets so eager to pathologize China's Hanfu boom? They force every new development in China onto a self-imposed Procrustean bed of Western narratives, where anything that doesn't fit the familiar doom-and-gloom story about China's economy is stretched, cut, or simply reinterpreted until it does.

A bridge can be most revealing not when it connects two sides, but when it exposes how far apart they have grown.

It is clear the Philippines is provoking tensions, and turning human lives into political props and ordinary people into pawns in a political theater. We urge the Marcos administration to abandon these reckless and low-grade provocations, genuinely value the safety of its own personnel, and return to the path of dialogue with China.

The song Two Tigers itself is not strange; what is strange is the minds of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces who have become so paranoid that they see a "conspiracy of infiltration" in virtually any cultural content with a mainland connection.

The ultimate question has never changed: Should technology serve all of humanity, or merely a privileged few?China has given its answer.

The Cold War lens has become a distorting mirror that reflects only Western anxieties, not regional realities.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
