It will take some time to go before people's biases and stereotypes can be changed. It requires efforts from various sectors, including the government, public opinion, and educational fields, to clean up outdated and harmful elements that stand in the way of boosting China's national identity.
The DPP couldn't care less about Taiwan people's health. It takes WHA as an occasion to make breakthroughs for its "international space," seeking de jure "independence."
In the US, there is a group of politicians who wear the "anti-China" label as a badge of honor. They repost every media coverage of their reckless anti-China "causes" and become overjoyed every time they're called "China hawks." Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher is one of them.
China has deeply integrated into the global economy and risen to be the world's second-largest economy over recent decades. The country has made unremitting efforts to contribute to the development of other countries, especially as the world witnesses growing challenges, alongside threats of decoupling fueled by a zero-sum mentality as advocated by some countries.
Economic and trade relations play a ballast role in the US-China relationship. Since the normalization of US-China relations in 1978, bilateral relations have gone through storms, ups, and downs, but economic and trade relations have always been on the rise, tying the two sides of the Pacific Ocean together.
When more and more such discussions, speculations, and doubts emerge, the dynamic of Quad will only decline.
The US will provide security assistance to Taiwan through presidential drawdown authority, aiming to keep Taiwan on the US chariot as a "convenient tool." The DPP needs to know that blindly believing in the US will only lead to being treated miserably as a chess piece.
Japan's promotion of a world free of nuclear weapons is being done incorrectly. If it truly wants to promote that, it should have the guts to oppose US-led “collective security” for only a small group of Western countries, and advocate for a shared security for the world.
Abandoning diplomatic independence does not necessarily bring the greatest security to Canada. Only by positioning itself as a balancer between major powers while making its independent voice, can Canada truly gain respect, including from its ally, the US, Liu added.
What the Middle East needs from the US is turning American embassies to their normal function – carrying out genuine diplomacy and facilitate communication, rather than being strongholds for color revolutions.
A state visit; a state dinner. If US President Joe Biden thinks this is enough to lure a country that has its own way of doing things, such as India, he has wildly miscalculated.
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss will visit Taiwan next week. In addition to meeting with senior officials of the Taiwan authorities on the island, she will also give a speech. This "keynote speech" could earn her tens of thousands of pounds, according to The Mirror.
Amid strained China-US relations, US politicians are continuing to add fuel to the fire by passing anti-China bills, which has become a habitual tyrannical action that will make the bilateral relations even harder to change for the better.
According to media reports, national security advisors from the US, India, Saudi Arabia and the UAE met in Saudi Arabia on Sunday to discuss a US proposal to link the Middle Eastern nations through a network of railway lines and connect the region to South Asia via sea lanes.
According to Japanese media reports, NATO will enhance cooperation with Japan, including developing a new security cooperation plan and opening a liaison office in Japan by the end of 2024. This will be NATO's first liaison office in Asia - a poisonous thorn sticking into Asia.
After the drone attack, who did it and whether Russia will attack Ukraine's presidential palace in retaliation has become the biggest suspense.
US' scramble for South Pacific is intensifying.
Pandas have always carried the mission of promoting peace and friendship. And this is precisely what the turbulent world today needs to inject stability and certainty.
It needs to understand that falling into West's trap of the "China vs. India" narrative will only cause unnecessary strife that may hinder the prospect of win-win cooperation and common development.
Seoul under the leadership of Yoon has bowed to Japan to please Washington.
Let time tell us who will be hurt the most from the G7's kamikaze-like ban.
It's time for White House officials to stop describing the US-China relationship as a "healthy competition.''
The former chief of cultural affairs authority in the island of Taiwan and writer Lung Ying-tai published an article in The New York Times on April 19, describing the growing division in the Taiwan island, which she believes has caused harm to Taiwan. At first glance, the title ''In Taiwan, Friends Are Starting to Turn Against Each Other'' doesn't seem to reveal any specific issues. However, upon closer examination of the article, the familiar tone and sentiment emerge.
The only time we will be free from US surveillance is when the country's hegemonic system completely collapses. But Washington is so used to acting as a shameless hegemon that changing its mentality and behavior is almost impossible. If we want to kill Washington's spying octopus, more actions are needed to crush the US hegemony.
The US government has become the violator of the legitimate freedom and rights of Americans' well-being.
With such a "landmark legislation," it is reasonable to assume that the situation of gun violence will improve. Yet, that's not the case at all. According to the Gun Violence Archive, 162 mass shootings have occurred in the US in 2023 as of Sunday, 28 cases more than the same day last year. With such a record, the powerlessness of this law is evident.
A recent military exercise between the US and the Philippines, known as Balikatan, a Tagalog term that means "shoulder-to-shoulder," has shown Asia what "the United States is back" really means.
Seeing China opening its arms with hospitality to countries worldwide, and as even ties between China and Australia are thawing, the US is unhappy. Voice of America (VOA), one of America's oldest propaganda machine, is trying to make some waves in the Pacific.
It is very frightening when some Western media completely become political tools. This makes the media lose their factual basis and scale, giving way to political positions.
When a growing number of countries start to pursue benign adjustments to that global order, the US seems to have ants in the pants.
These politicians hope to get media attention, which essentially aims to earn political capital for themselves. They are tireless in pursuing their personal interests, which is a tragedy of American politics.
Suppose Asia falls into the European security model. In that case, there will be no common security, but only balance by ganging up and building alliances, and the history of Europe shows that that balance will eventually be broken by contention or even war.
The US is still living under the illusion of American hegemony and determinism. However, as everyone knows, the world has moved on.
Regional issues should be resolved by regional countries. Washington needs to understand that it is not welcomed to stir up trouble in a tranquil region to undermine peace and stability. The Philippines should play a role as "handrail" for China and the US to manage and control differences, and should not become a US' "hatchet man" for stimulating the conflicts with China.
As US armchair politicians and analysts are hyping up a possible war, true American warriors are calling for peace.
As one of the most crucial global poles, the EU has been trying hard to enable itself to keep an appropriate distance from the US and China politically and economically. However, it has sometimes had to move closer to the US.
Under the misperception of China and the misdirection of the US' bullying policy, Britain is pushing itself step by step into the abyss of greater troubles. It is time for the UK to weigh up whether it benefits or harms itself more by using political means to suppress foreign companies under the pretext of unwarranted "risks."
It is hoped that not only ASEAN countries but also more countries in the Asia-Pacific region will see the danger that AUKUS poses. We should work together to make our region a source of peace and stability, rather than living in constant fear of nuclear proliferation and threats.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a "proxy war" that the US has imposed on Europe. If the US and Russia cannot reach a compromise, there can be no peace between Russia and Ukraine. But if the conflict continues, not only will Russia and Ukraine be damaged, but also Europe's security dilemma will worsen. The more Europe tries to be safe, the more insecure it becomes.
Looking back at history, European capitalism has been exploring between efficiency and fairness to constantly find points that lead to reforms. The European people chose a different path from that of the US - a path that emphasizes welfare and fair distribution. However, even under welfare capitalism, it does not change the nature of capitalism and its inherent flaws, which has inevitably led to the widening of the wealth gap.
As Australia is a sovereign power, China hopes that Australia will not succumb to any country or become a military pawn. It is believed that the Albanese administration has sufficient political wisdom to make decisions in line with its national interests.
China did not make the US' popularity decline, the US made itself decline.
Given what has happened and is taking place in the US, the country is not qualified to be the global leader in democracy and the so-called Summit for Democracy is doomed to be fruitless.
After all, Hiroshima's history proves that those who provoked a war would get its punishment. In the current era, will Japan continue to create chaos in the Asia-Pacific region?
The reason Washington has proposed guardrails is that it understands the disastrous consequences of moving the US and China toward conflict.
China has made remarkable achievements in building law-based cyberspace, contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to internet governance worldwide.
The US can no longer stop the remaining “diplomatic allies” of the Taiwan island from thinking what the trend of the times is and which way is on the right side of history.
When China sits down with friends, it is for peace. When the US and its partners get together, the agenda is about confrontation.
The big bosses on Wall Street and the White House see the opportunity to make money from global conflicts, and the world sees the growing conflicts and rising risks of war. Can the US-designed "order" be maintained this way without any change?
In the US, polls seem to have become a tool manipulated by its political elites to discredit China on the international stage. Such underhand practice is another manifestation of the US' hysteria toward China.
The real threat confronting Australia is not China, but the US, which not only takes Australia as a front-line base, but also constantly pushes it toward wars. Australians do not need war; they need to sharpen their eyes.
The historical issues between South Korea and Japan have always been the crux of their relationship. In order to form a united front with Tokyo and Seoul against its rivals, Washington has repeatedly pressured South Korea to compromise with Japan.
From Huawei to TikTok, from balloons to cranes, American politicians' hysteria over so-called national security is becoming increasingly perverse.
At a time when major global economies still have to cope with inflation in a nervous and hectic manner, a strongly recovering China with a low inflation will show the world the policy-control capabilities its government has and will give more confidence to those who are worried about the global economy.
Politicians like Burns should understand that "pride and prejudice" toward China will only bring more danger and chaos to the region and the world. No matter how harsh they want to sound when talking about China and how assertive when talking about the US, they can never fool other countries by trying to sugarcoat US hegemony as "leadership."
Collusion between US and Taiwan island will only strengthen Chinese mainland's determination to curb Taiwan secessionist forces. The signals US sends over Taiwan question to boost DPP's morale will result in opposite effect.
It was speculated that Washington's balloon frenzy earlier in February has a lot to do with covering up the scoop over what US did behind Nord Stream bombing. There is also reason to suspect the hype of TikTok is aimed at distracting people from Ohio derailment and chemical spill.
China has also been able to achieve such great results thanks to its cooperation with other countries, including the one with US experts over giant panda's reproductive techniques. It is believed more people around the world will be able to witness giant pandas in the future, and people will continue to become fans of this animal. With the drumbeat of China's peaceful development, giant pandas will remain active on the global stage as cordial messengers.
US' words have become less persuasive, and the country is gradually isolating itself in the world. As Huntington argued, “In acting as if this were a unipolar world, the US is also becoming increasingly alone.” Sadly, this is the reality of today's US.
Canada needs to meet China halfway to find out more shared values from cooperation - values that will make both countries feel more secure and prosperous.
The international status of a country's media is determined by the strength of the country and its adherence to media ethics. The BBC has lost the latter, and the UK is losing the former.
On the day US President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Kiev, a blast at an Ohio factory took place.
The US, under the current corrupt political system and toxic political environment, will never be able to produce a similar drama that can resonate strongly with the public.
NATO keeps talking about China, which only proves that it is the execution machine of US' will. This thwarts Europe's pursuit of strategic independence, and hijacks collective defense of Europe
SkyNewsAust has made a video of a quasi-Hollywood blockbuster level, showing how hard it tried to promote the anti-China sentiment.
In the balloon saga, the US has shown its allies and the world how incapable it was to identify small flying objects, whether they are for military use or not, and whether they are harmful to US national interests.
The frenzy of hysterical crusades against China has become a signature of the US in our time. The rhythm of some US elites and media is leading China-US relations to a more unpredictable prospect.
US media' silence and smearing against Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh for his disclosure on Nord Stream pipelines sabotage make people doubt: whether they are covering secrets for the current US administration.
Although Americans are increasingly paying attention to the US' pressing issues such excessive defense budget and its groundless hype over China threat, due to the constraints of the US system, these problems will not be fundamentally solved, but will become increasingly grave. This will eventually lead to the self-destruction of the US hegemony.
In the face of the US' excessive and groundless hype on the threat of China's civilian airship to the world, other countries' holding their tongues is a sign of their silent disapproval and objection against US' actions.
Natural disasters and crises have nothing to do with politics. Unfortunately, it is not the case with the US.
China has released a pile of goodwill to improve its ties with Washington, but if the US wants China to behave in a meek and subservient manner, it would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
Think tanks should not instrumentalize themselves to become a tool for anti-China forces, which would taint their academic reputation.
The US does not want to spend a single penny on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The assets in the US of any individuals may be deprived due to international relations. This will consume US' credibility to a large extent.
While facing severe problems at home, such as rising energy prices and high inflation, Britain is still sending aid to Ukraine to support it on the battlefield better.
The US woos India to step up its geopolitical competition with China and Russia, but lacks an efficient approach. The US and India are like a couple who are on the same bed but with different dreams.
NATO is dragging South Korea deeper into the abyss of providing aid to Ukraine. Its ultimate goal is to facilitate extending its tentacles even further into Asia-Pacific through its most tractable partners in the region.
China achieved smooth transition as COVID wave ebbed away. Whatever the US and Western media slander, China's achievements in anti-epidemic work cannot be erased.
If an undercover video of similar kind was exposed in China, there is no doubt that the Chinese public and officials would take it very seriously. Not only the company involved must give a detailed explanation, relevant authorities will quickly conduct an investigation to find the truth.
US credibility is at stake. Long before the trend is observed among Taiwan people, a growing number of US allies have started losing confidence in US security guarantee. And the US has no one to blame but itself.
Sticking too tightly to NATO means that India is playing with fire. It will be a test of India's diplomatic and strategic autonomy, which is declining significantly due to it increasingly tying itself to US strategy.
Politico reported that the Pentagon is making preliminary plans for new house speaker Kevin McCarthy's travel schedule, including a possible trip to the island of Taiwan this spring. That US media reveals the military was making security preparations for McCarthy's Taiwan visit can be seen as the first move of the public opinion war ahead of the visit.
As West, mired in energy crisis, is loosening efforts to deliver carbon pledge, China's sticking to realizing its carbon goal once again reveals that it's a leading force in climate change. This is a prominent embodiment of China's intl responsibility.
China's status as one of the most populous countries in the world will not change. A slight decline in population will not lead to the stagnation of China's GDP growth or becomes a stumbling block to surpass US economy.
It is ridiculous that Stoltenberg thinks he can speak on behalf of the West. In fact, he can only represent NATO and the US – or, in other words, a destructive force in the West that keeps creating conflicts.
US politicians use document scandals as tool to retaliate against political opponents. Justice, fairness, and the rule of law are worthless in US politics, but political interests are above everything else. How bottomless US politics is.
Japan is increasingly trying to justify its ongoing militarization under the pretext of the so-called external threats. Looking around the region, it is Japan that is pushing the regional situation closer to the edge of danger, following the US strategy closely. Tokyo's move deserves much vigilance. If it continues to act as a pawn of the US in the Asia-Pacific region to stir up trouble here, Japan must be wary of becoming a victim itself of the US or even the Ukraine of East Asia.
We should not worry if the UK-Japan RAA will lead to similar moves of defense cooperation from other US allies.
NATO, which long lost the cause of existence, is sparing no effort to prolong its life. It is deliberately creating enemies, when it could have no enemy at all. But the EU could avoid being taken hostage by the military organization, or ending up as a US pet.
No matter how Washington hypes up the “Chinese military threat” theory or plays down Beijing's military capabilities, China needs to firmly adhere to its strategy of strengthening the military and improving the fusion of military mechanization, informatization and intelligentization. At the same time, the mainland also needs to prepare for the military struggle in the Straits in a normalized and targeted manner. Ultimately, the US will have to deal with a well-prepared Chinese mainland, and its projected “pyrrhic victory” may even become a Waterloo.
During the past days, a growing number of US politicians and media outlets have been making shrill "warnings" about the epidemic in China, pretending to be worried about the spread of COVID in a big way, and about how global economy would be hit by the wave from China. If they do care about it, why don't Pfizer drop some pursuit of the profit, and cooperate with China with a little more sincerity?
Superficially, the crisis of the House speakership is due to some radical conservative lawmakers of the GOP being dissatisfied with McCarthy, but in essence, it is Washington's deepened political polarization.
The West is pretty confused in how to deal with China.
It may be a chance for the US to realize what it did in the past equals shooting itself in the foot. If the US truly wants to enjoy China's travel dividends, it should show a welcoming gesture to China's optimized pandemic response and the incoming Chinese tourists.
As time goes by, it will only become more and more difficult for the US to play the Taiwan card to suppress China and for the DPP authorities to seek independence by colluding with foreign forces.
It is worth noting that even the CNN report said that there is no evidence that the "national security risk" those US politicians worry about has actually occurred. Rather, what we see is the US manipulating and infiltrating into the opinion of other countries and even its own. Twitter CEO Elon Musk recently revealed that all social media platforms work with the US government to censor content. As the US shifts the blame on China, it clearly shows the US lacks self-confidence in the face of China's rise.
Western media outlets and elites are only accusing China to make themselves feel better. The
As Serbia maintains close ties with both Russia and China, two of Washington's top rivals, Serbia has long been a thorn of the US.
Both Moscow and Kiev need to show a peaceful gesture and sincerity in realizing peace. But judging from the current situation, the two sides lack a consensus about peace, which dims the hope for a cease-fire.
Some US & Western media use the epidemic as an anti-China tool. Anything China does in this regard will be criticized. China's society is very resilient and it is not easy to mess up China. Their ulterior motives will turn to be wishful thinking.
