Africa may learn from China's political path to revitalize its own development plans
It is high time that leaders of Africa revisited their political constructions, and formulate one that is underpinned by ideologies and development-oriented policies, like the CPC does.
West legally wrong to object to HK security law
The HKSAR is a legal and sovereign component of China, with its Basic Law constitution (and specified autonomies) that are willed by the NPC, which issues such formal powers as China's central legislative body. Hong Kong has designated autonomy, but it is not something "independent" of China. It is legally and constitutionally part of China.
China-US ties have arrived at unexpected low
We must dispel the fears of some people that Chinese society may become more conservative as a result of the growing rivalry between China and the US. While strengthening cohesion, we should create more conditions conducive to increasing the vitality of our society. This is one of the key directions to improve social confidence, and it is especially important to unite the intellectuals.
Chinese professors dismiss 'wolf diplomacy' theatrics
China's tough diplomacy against provocations is a reasonable response to defend national interests. How can such a diplomacy be regarded as “wolf warrior” diplomacy? If China's diplomacy is “wolf warrior” diplomacy, then what should US diplomacy be called? Perhaps “lion roar” diplomacy.
US launches Scold War, not Cold War
History shouldn't be written based on US politicians' lies. China has been left with no other options but to fight back. Since April, almost all Chinese media outlets fired a battle against the US government, especially against Pompeo, the true culprit of the decline of China-US ties. The scold war, a contest of truth and historical morality, is raging on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
Western elite view of China's governance wrong
Fukuyama's view represents the way many US and Western elites view China. On the one hand, they are concerned about the success of China's model and they always tend to have a critical attitude toward the Chinese system. On the other, they aim at changing the Chinese system and turning China into a so-called liberal and democratic country in the Western sense. When they find they cannot change China and China is developing rapidly with its own model, they fall into a collective anxiety and thus regard China as an ideological enemy.
A pragmatic work plan for China and beyond
China no longer needs to remain fixated on chasing short-term quantitative targets at all costs. Lo and behold, within half a decade, such a "new normal" growth has, among others, prompted China to engage in more research and development. It now leads the world in 5G information technology, electronic commerce and artificial intelligence, which are all essential elements in the explosive growth of the not so distant future.
National security law to solve long-term woes in HK
The central government's push to introduce new national security laws in Hong Kong shows its strong determination to solve the long-term woes in the special administrative region. The legislation shows that the central government has shouldered the responsibility to maintain Hong Kong's order and safeguard China's national security after the months-long violent protests almost put the city at the edge of a cliff.
China needs flexible approach as relations with US come to a crossroads
As China-US tensions heighten alongside the coronavirus pandemic, a report to US Congress released by the White House on Wednesday lays out the Trump administration's approach for China. The report, titled "United States Strategic Approach to The People's Republic of China", claims that previous hopes for a "fundamental economic and political opening" in China have failed and calls for the continuation of a whole-of-government approach toward China. How to interpret US strategic intentions behind the report? How should China cope with competitive or even hostile relations with the US? The Global Times talked with two experts to gain their opinions.
Washington escalates Taiwan card out of anxiety
In recent days, the US has been playing its cards on the Taiwan question, constantly pushing the bottom line of its Taiwan policy and China-US relations. There are three levels of breakthroughs in the Taiwan-related actions of the US. The first is to continue to break through the "unofficial relations" between the US and the island of Taiwan since 1979. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo publicly congratulated Tsai Ing-wen on her second term, calling her "President". The move was no less provocative than Trump's phone call with her in late 2016.
6.6% defense budget increase to secure China's interests; spending more efficient than US
The US is also increasing its defense budget, but it has not helped the country rein in the COVID-19 epidemic. War, instead of protecting the safety of American people, is the main goal of the US military. While in China, the Chinese military aims at protecting Chinese people and safeguarding their lives.
Peaceful vs malign propaganda campaigns
Since it is impossible to deny the current tensions amongst the major powers in Europe and between the US and China, key questions must be addressed.

China-Pakistan: A journey of friendship (1950-2020)
Pakistan and China have enjoyed close and friendly relations since the establishment of diplomatic relations on 21 May 1951. Over the years, the relationship has blossomed into an "All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership", with the CPEC at its core. Pakistan considers China as one of its closest friends and partners and China considers Pakistan as its "Iron Brother".
Post-pandemic world trend: further globalization, better governance
It is necessary to boost global governance in order to cope with the pandemic effectively. The novel coronavirus poses a common threat to human society as a whole. It demands that all countries, including China and the US, make use of their comparative advantages and cooperate effectively and pragmatically.
US Space Force devt risks new arms race in outer space
China will not want to join an arms race in space initiated by the US. But if China's national security is at serious risk because of this, China will certainly take measures to ensure its security is not harmed.
African leadership shares China's health vision
We will be defeated if we get divided. It is no wonder that the WHO noted that the world needs to unleash the full power of science, to deliver innovations that are scalable, usable, and benefit everyone, everywhere - all at the same time during this extraordinary era.
