The controversy surrounding Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on Taiwan continues to escalate. Her latest statements on the matter have exposed Tokyo's sinister intent to play word games and muddle through.
As the world's first scheduled commercial route connecting two near-antipodal cities - Shanghai and Buenos Aires, almost diametrically opposite on the globe - it has ushered in a new chapter for Global South connectivity.
Bringing NATO to the Asia-Pacific region will only increase anxiety of regional countries and create instability. If Japan really cares about the security in the so-called Indo-Pacific region, it should stop playing fire with the Taiwan question and stop stimulating security nerves of regional countries.
The concept of “Cool China” didn't emerge from a top-down promotion, nor was it manufactured by foreign media. Rather, it grew out of the spontaneous and genuine reactions of overseas public, especially young people, who after looking beyond layers of preconceived “filters,” are finally seeing China as it is.
Western efforts to "contain China" are increasingly being projected into the wider developing world, seeking to weaken trade and industrial ties between these countries and China. That is what a genuine beggar-thy-neighbor strategy looks like.
Smearing China's 6G based on security biases is both unfounded and detrimental to its own interests.
Taiwan's petty calculations regarding joining AUKUS reflect its malicious intention of seeking more room and external support for “independence” on the international stage. However, “Taiwan independence” separatists should recognize that there is no room for reckless actions.
The SGR is running and carrying the nation's ambitions on its rails. We should celebrate this monumental national achievement for what it is: a bold step toward the future Kenya is building for itself.
This year's G 20 summit carries symbolic weight beyond its specific declaration. The world is changing. If the US continues to respond with familiar displays of displeasure — boycotts, walkouts, attempts to block consensus – it may eventually discover that fewer and fewer countries feel obliged to coax it back into the room.
USCC report reveals the arrogance and anxiety of a major power struggling to adapt to a changing world.
The UK's anxiety does not stem from the so-called security, but the discomfort and alert toward China's technological leadership. A wise option for the UK is to stop indulging in pride and prejudice, but engage in mutually beneficial cooperation with China.
The blood-stained memory of Taiwan under decades of Japanese colonial rule underscores how sensitive any foreign military intervention - even an implication - in Taiwan island's security is.
Washington's goal is not to promote Greece's prosperity but to squeeze out China by “replacing” Chinese investment and forcing countries into a binary choice.
The Thai King's visit sends a clear message to the world: China is an “unmovable neighbor” and a partner for common development.
Takaichi's misguided remarks are part of a broader pattern. To truly correct its course, Japan must begin with an accurate recognition of history.
Frank words from COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago in a recent interview with The New York Times captures a long-standing absurdity in global climate politics: Some in the West apply blatant double standards toward China's green development, trapped in a self-contradictory mind-set.
When athletes sprint across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, when spectators travel effortlessly across the region, when institutional barriers quietly dissolve through collaboration – what people witness is not just a sporting spectacle, but a vivid portrait of an international metropolis cluster rising on the success of “one country, two systems.”
The Da Yang Hao's voyage signals a healthy normality: scientific cooperation by a rising power that is not conquering, but participating. If the West feels threatened by this, the discomfort lies in its own reflection – in realizing that its historic monopoly on defining the ocean's meaning has come to an end.
While the potential for cooperation in air pollution control is substantial, the depth and breadth of future collaboration will largely depend on how the Indian government responds to China's goodwill in sharing its experience.
Driving along the tidy streets into Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, seeing the porcelain sculptures line the road, you feel the breath of history.
What truly undermines democracy is the attempt to strip island countries of their right to make independent choices. What Pacific Island nations need is not “democracy preaching,” but genuine respect and the right to development.
The European Union and emerging economies, such as China and Brazil, are stepping up, advancing global green development and offering pragmatic cooperation. As Washington reverses course, the world's climate agenda is not collapsing - it is evolving toward a more decentralized and multipolar model of governance.
Shenzhou-21 is more than a spaceflight — it is a symbol of a nation that pursues balance, reason and cooperation.
A clear trend is taking shape. The Chinese mainland is moving more decisively to punish "Taiwan independence" separatists, while in the US, a growing chorus is advocating a sober, reality-based reassessment of the Taiwan question. For the separatists still lost in their fantasies, the wake-up call has already sounded.
The advertisement controversy serves as a prism, reflecting the structural dilemmas Canada faces in safeguarding its economic sovereignty while seeking pragmatic cooperation in an asymmetrical power dynamic.
Europe's security in a globalized economy depends on moving beyond threat-based reactions to embracing equitable, transparent, and mutually beneficial engagement, not isolation.
The @nytimes acknowledges China's achievements but hunts for flaws – like “debt” or “enormous costs” – to soothe its sour envy. At its heart, this anxiety is a refusal to confront real US issues.
Robust and vibrant tourism exchanges are built on a foundation of mutual trust and positive bilateral relations between two states. Given the Philippines' continued infringements and provocations in the South China Sea, alongside the persistent domestic anti-China sentiment, Manila's e-visa program for Chinese tourists will serve only as a symbolic gesture with limited outcomes.
Japan must recognize that it cannot economically separate itself from regional cooperation. The path that truly serves Japan's national interests lies not in being dragged into US-led geopolitical gambits, but in returning to a cooperative framework. Otherwise, Japan risks being marginalized from the broader trend of regional integration.
Perhaps the greatest security challenge facing the UK today is not the imagined fear of China's “enormous power over UK energy grid,” but rather whether its policymaking can free itself from the interference of irrational anti-China rhetoric.
Suppose the Netherlands truly seeks to resolve the tension with China over Nexperia. It must demonstrate genuine courage to correct its fundamental mistakes rather than merely offering diplomatic pleasantries while hoping the storm will pass. China is simply demanding that the Netherlands honor its own proclaimed values: rule of law, fair competition, and protection of legally acquired property.
This is deeper logic behind the rise of “Chinese standards”: They are supported by China's powerful engineering capacity, meticulous quality systems, and relentless innovation. Whether in high-speed trains racing across land, bridges spanning vast rivers, or spacecraft exploring the universe, each stands as a living advertisement for the excellence of Chinese standards.
Where public sentiment leads, the path is steadfast. The vow “Taiwan Must Return,” once again proclaimed in Silent Honor, will resonate so loudly that this thunderous proclamation must transform from a historical pledge into living reality.
Canada's federal government is now facing backlash for its decision to impose a 100 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). Ottawa's protectionist policies against China, taken in lockstep with the US, are undermining the very foundations of Canada's economy.
The two-party system in the US now resembles a judo match where both sides grip tightly. As of Sunday, the US federal government has been shut down for 11 days. In this “judo match,” there are no winners – only a wounded nation and a divided society.
The essence of the blame game surrounding why the “China spy case” in the UK was dropped is that for certain anti-China forces, the pre-established “China threat” narrative takes precedence over the “sufficient evidence” required by law. Their hysterical reaction to this case does not arise from any genuine concern for national security; rather, it stems from the fact that the case's developments have stripped them of a convenient excuse to amplify the “China threat.”
Genuine security will not stem from increased defense spending and arms acquisitions. The US-proposed target of 10 percent of GDP for defense is not only a financial burden that Taiwan cannot bear, but also a serious squeeze on the livelihood of local residents.
The US is urgently ramping up its missile production plans. The Pentagon, alarmed at the low weapons stockpiles the US would have on hand for a potential future conflict with China, is urging its missile suppliers to double or even quadruple production rates on a breakneck schedule, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday. While ambitious on the surface, the move exposes Washington's deep-seated anxieties.
When international audiences encounter the bronze masks of Sanxingdui, they're not just viewing ancient artifacts - they're expanding their conception of what human societies can achieve and how diverse the pathways to prosperity and cultural flourishing can be.
Hopefully, some European politicians and media can stop playing the role of "anxiety mongers" and abandon their narrow-minded perspectives. This mentality is detrimental to the long-term development of Europe's new energy industry and will ultimately hinder Europe's opportunities for new energy development.
China has always demonstrated its sense of responsibility through real deeds, and will continue to uphold the concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity as it works with other countries to advance global climate governance.
Listening to rational voices at home and seizing opportunities for pragmatic cooperation is the wise choice for Ottawa.
Through pragmatic innovation and international cooperation, China is accelerating long-term global sustainable development and presenting a path of green, shared, and cooperative development to the world.
The wording used by the Chinese Embassy in Israel this time is stern - not only as a condemnation of Toporovsky's personal conduct, but also as a warning to others who should see reality clearly, pull back from the edge immediately, and cease all provocations and opportunism.
Many hands will shape the Arctic's future, and China's early contributions, guided by principles of mutual respect and sustainable development, set an encouraging precedent.
Why do US media repeatedly play out this script? It serves as a political deflection.
Mere lip service to anti-war slogans - without a sober understanding of the war's root causes and historical lessons - amounts to superficial emotional expression
Currently, China-UK relations are slowly emerging from their low point and gradually improving. But what is the key to fostering a healthy and stable relationship?
History has shown that becoming a frontline base in great-power competition does not guarantee security; instead, it exposes a country to the risk of being drawn into conflicts.
While hyping the so-called role of third countries, US politicians have dodged their responsibility that the US and its allies bear for the prolonged conflict in Ukraine.
Cold war mentalities and one-size-fits-all development formulas no longer define the world. Real progress now depends on pluralism, adaptation and searching for context-appropriate solutions - even if those solutions, like the "Fengqiao Experience," come from outside the Western tradition.
For the Philippines, which is seeking to rapidly strengthen its maritime military capability, Japan's retired Abukuma-class destroyer escorts are being imbued with new imagination. However, the so-called talisman that the Philippines believes it possesses is, for the region, nothing more than a hot potato – an even greater source of anxiety.
External noises cannot change the PICs' independent judgment of who their genuine development partners are, nor can they erase the sound model of cooperation between China and those countries. Ultimately, it is the win-win outcomes of cooperation that speak the most convincing language.
Whether the UK government can demonstrate sincerity through consistency of words and deeds and truly exercise strategic autonomy will be the key factor determining how far this dialogue can go.
China's countermeasures against Seki are a warning to radical anti-China elements. They demonstrate China's determination to safeguard its core interests while drawing a clear red line for bilateral relations. For provocateurs, punishment is inevitable; for friends and partners, China's door will always remain open.
Clearly, by pushing the “China threat” in space narrative in such high-profile manners, the US essentially aims to legitimize its own expansion of space armaments and to secure more budgets. However, the logic of arms races ultimately leads to self-inflicted decline.
Once hailed as the bedrock of global finance, the US dollar now teeters on the precipice of a crisis of trust. The era of "dollar exceptionalism," where the currency stood invincible, is rapidly crumbling under the weight of Washington's own missteps, which have continuously pushed the world to look for alternatives.
Today, China commemorates V-Day with a military parade to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to its original aspirations and to Chinese modernization. At its core is peaceful development. Only with reliable capabilities can nations defend peace, prevent war and create space for growth and exchange.
The warming of China-India relations is not a “side effect” of the US tariff war but a proactive choice for the future made by both nations. Broad opportunities for multilateral cooperation form the real logic of the relationship.
While the reported move of the US president not attending the Quad summit exposes the loose commitment of the US toward its allies and partners, it also reflects the dilemma of US-led small circles characterized by confrontation, isolation and exclusivity.
Systematic exchanges and engagement targeting Japanese youth should be continuously promoted to help them break through cognitive limitations and rebuild an autonomous and critical awareness of historical responsibility.
Today's China differs vastly from the nation of eight decades ago, as does today's US. Both countries have undergone tremendous transformations. What remains unchanged is the longing of both peoples for peace and better lives. This shared aspiration should form the foundation for bilateral development.
Banning a film cannot silence the countless descendants of China in their pursuit of collective memory; altering a page of history cannot obscure the epic of the nation written in blood and fire by compatriots on both sides. The Green Camp's desperate struggles are nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree - a humiliation they bring upon themselves.
Europe's major economies resemble fragile building blocks, teetering on the brink of instability. It isn't simply grappling with economic problems; it's caught up in a larger "strategic misstep" – following the wrong lead and down the wrong path. The question remains: will Europe awaken this time?
A country that cannot reconcile with its past will never truly win the trust of others. If Japan cannot squarely face and reflect on its history of aggression with an honest attitude, it will never earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community.
The vast wealth gap is a product of the US' political and economic develop-ment model, which in turn influences the evolution of these systems, constraining the US' soft power and influence on the international stage. A country that cannot properly address homelessness on its streets is hardly in a position to tell others how to run their countries, as some US politicians often do.
Markets never erect barriers against inconsequential competitors. Nvidia's difficulties entering the Chinese market precisely confirm the rise of China's semiconductor industry.
In recent years, the EU has adopted what might be called a "perfunctory response" model to crises.
The message of the trilateral dialogue is simple but profound. Despite complexity, cooperation remains the most realistic - and the most rational - choice.
From economic leaps to educational progress, from ecological protection to ethnic unity, the snowy plateau has delivered a substantial and impressive development report.
The cultural dignity of the Chinese people is not to be provoked, and the prosperity of the consumer market must be built on mutual respect.
Looking deeper, the reason some people in US political circles insist on dragging China into the US-Russia narrative lies in the inertia of Cold War thinking.
At the same time, the boundary question is a historical, complex and long-term issue. Positive momentum is hard-won and must be carefully sustained. This calls for combining political guidance with institutionalized management, maintaining a long-term strategic view, broadening shared interests to deepen mutual trust, strengthening public support through practical cooperation and advancing solutions through effective management of differences.
As the world's two largest developing countries, the urgent task is to advance each country's development, rather than fall into a zero-sum geopolitical contest.
Recently, Manila has repeatedly sought to stir up tensions at sea, pushing for the "securitization" of the South China Sea narrative in the international public arena, in an attempt to turn the issue into a global hotspot and thereby highlight its so-called strategic value.
US pressure on African countries to "take sides" only strengthens Africa's resolve for independent development.
As the spirit Vautrin embodied is demonstrated in Dead to Rights, this movie resonates across languages and cultures because it highlights the most fundamental forms of goodness and courage.
Lies are like sandcastles on the beach - they may appear sturdy, but they can't withstand the waves of reality.
The most ludicrous part is that the so-called “conflict” has not yet occured, but Marcos' theatrical performance is already in full swing.
Ultimately, whose version of “openness” better reflects the spirit of our time? Whose path injects more genuine innovation into the global AI landscape?
China-India relations are at a critical juncture, gradually emerging from a "low point." It makes far more sense to utilize each other's strengths, work on practical cooperation, and promote mutual benefit, win‑win outcomes and shared development.
Is India's “mistake” really buying Russian oil, or simply not following US' orders? Behind this tariff battle lies a harsh reminder – India can be a “great friend,” but only on the condition that it stays obedient. The moment India fails to meet US' strategic expectations, it instantly becomes expendable.
The Chinese military will continue to forge ahead – not only to safeguard China itself, but also contribute more strength for stability, peace and cooperation in the region and beyond.
For Chinese manufacturing to maintain global competitiveness, it must accelerate structural upgrading, strengthen technological innovation, enhance service capabilities and develop international brands.
To remain competitive globally, Europe should have the courage to make independent, fact-based judgments instead of dancing to the tune of US “security risk scare” tactics. Otherwise, what Europe truly risks is sacrificing its own industrial competitiveness and future development opportunities on the altar of someone else's political agenda.
To stabilize China-Japan relations, Japan must show genuine sincerity through concrete actions instead of fluctuating between provocation and cooperation.
The Taiwan Straits are not a “projection screen” for Britain's imperial nostalgia, a stage for some politicians to perform their political grandstanding, nor an arena for countries to show off their geopolitical relevance.
Asian countries must collectively emerge from the shadow of colonialism and rely on Asian wisdom to address Asian problems – free from external interference and misleading narratives.
The actual effect of the AI Action Plan is affected by a number of factors. Only time will tell how the plan will roll out.
For a country that repeatedly walks away from even the most foundational UN cultural body to accuse others of “power grabs” is the height of contradiction. The real issue is not whether China is stepping up to “fill the vacuum,” but the US' growing tendency to step back.
The US side described Philippine President Macros' visit as “beautiful.” However, it appears the outcomes for Manila are not so “beautiful,” delivering little in terms of substantive gains and leaving the Philippines disappointed.
Recently, international discussions on reviving trilateral cooperation among China, Russia and India have increased. What is the significance of such cooperation? Read what three Chinese experts have to say on this matter.
Australia has a good grasp of its relationship with China and doesn't need outsiders peddling anxiety. Some Western politicians still believe that NATO's outdated playbook can work in the Asia-Pacific, even though the region has clearly moved on to a very different chapter. Trying to fan the flames might stir up a little dust, but disrupting the region's deep-rooted aspirations for peace and prosperity? That's a much harder task.
The Western narrative that China is “exploiting the West's aid cuts to expand its influence in Southeast Asia” is purely measuring others' corn by one's own bushel – a projection of zero-sum thinking.
The fabrication of “blue-background, white-text” reports must be met with severe punishment. For judicial bodies: this novel form of rumor-mongering designed to grab attention must be punished according to the law to set the record straight.
China-Philippine cooperation in education once had a solid foundation, but it is now being severely undermined – primarily due to unilateral actions by the Philippine side. In light of China's latest overseas study alert, the Philippines needs to reflect on issues that go far beyond education.
The Japanese government's message to domestic firms operating in Taiwan region that they'll be on their own if a crisis breaks out sounds less like a contingency plan and more like a blunt dose of realism: When real pressure hits, there's far less the government can do than what its slogans might lead people to believe.
The so-called “humanitarian city” risks further worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis and dashing hopes for a political solution to the Palestinian question. The key to breaking the deadlock in Gaza lies in steadfastly upholding and implementing the two-state solution.
The true path to peace lies in respecting the core concerns of all parties and seeking balance through equitable dialogue, rather than fostering new conflicts through threats and sanctions.
Japan should seriously pursue regional coordination grounded in openness and cooperation.
