Do not let political manipulation by "Taiwan independence" forces wreck the Biennale's name - and do not indulge these clowns at the expense of China-South Korea friendship.

Facing widespread opposition within the EU to its rigid tariff approach, from figures such as Slovakian PM and Siemens CEO, Brussels should set aside ideological rigidity and listen to the genuine concerns of public opinion and industries.

A Pakistani senator called the SCO an important institutional and political voice of the Global South. That is the real story of Bishkek summit.

Healthy aging starts with preventing chronic diseases – not with more hospital beds after people can no longer walk. The shift that matters is to prevent more illness before it takes hold.

Rebalancing, yes. Weaponized tariffs, no. The US cannot monopolize the narrative on trade imbalances.

The Philippines unilaterally brought Batan Islands under its jurisdiction; such an act lacks a basis in international law and has no legal effect.

The island of Taiwan is realizing that the China-US competition will continue, but competition does not mean the US will assume unlimited risks on Taiwan's behalf.

The absences of multiple regional leaders from this year's PIF Leaders Meeting in Palau reflect the increasingly pronounced diplomatic autonomy of some Pacific Island Countries.

Western headlines say China wants to “dominate the seas.” The name of China's training ship says something else: Reach is not conquest.

If the US Embassy in China is genuinely concerned about the search and rescue progress, it should closely follow Chinese television, newspapers and online media, where the latest developments are released to the public as soon as they become available.

"We have high expectations for further developing the ties between Cairo and Beijing."

China-Egypt relations are being written anew in the present.

With the visit of the Chinese president to Egypt, the shared desire to build on what has already been achieved and open new horizons for cooperation in industry, technology, energy, artificial intelligence and investment becomes even clearer.

President Xi's visit is set to further deepen the two nations' 70-year friendship into a dynamic partnership that brings concrete progress and shared prosperity to both peoples.

Regardless of whether it was a mere slip-up, Real Madrid should delete the erroneous post and issue an apology to the Chinese public.

With the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway as an example, a new pattern of connectivity is taking shape at a faster pace.

The flagship project of mutual benefit is the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway. This is a “road to prosperity” that will unlock significant economic potential for Kyrgyzstan and the broader region.

The so-called security "Plan B" pushed by Japan toward South Korea is merely repackaged militarist ambition for Japan and quasi-alliance consolidation for the US-Japan-South Korea axis.

The China-Egypt partnership is not just a success story for the two countries – it is a template for what South-South cooperation can achieve in an era of fragmentation and uncertainty.

Ultimately, it is merely an attempt by certain forces in Japan to leverage the Taiwan question to expand their own security and political roles, while the Taiwan authorities try to use external support to bolster their stance.

The Bishkek summit sends a clear message: The center of international gravity is gradually shifting eastward. The SCO will not overturn the global order overnight, but it is steadily becoming one of the platforms where the rules of the new international balance of power will be forged.

Together, the two articles bear witness to a brutal reality - Hegemony triggers political "avalanches," just as a loss of reverence amplifies natural ones.

“China-Africa cooperation should embrace diverse development pathways. We ought to explore new style cooperation models for the Global South to advance the coordinated development of modernization and human rights.”

Tragedies test the integrity of every information system that claims to serve the public. On the evidence of the mudslide in Nepal, some Western coverage failed that test.

It is a shared human risk. The Earth is not a pile of separate pieces; it is one linked whole.

The forthcoming Bishkek summit takes stock of the first 25 years of the SCO existence and paves the way to the next 25-year chapter.

For China, food is of paramount importance to the people. Fewer political labels. More irrigation, storage, seeds, and training – this is food security the world actually needs.

BBC, feel free to keep this new nickname, "BBC impartial." At moments of life and death, nobody needs you to manufacture "secondary disasters" with your keyboard.

China's new industrial era is not only defined by the magnitude of Chinese-manufactured products in use across Africa's farms, schools, roads, hospitals and households, but also by the deliberate effort to build Africa's capacity toward local manufacturing.

What the disaster-stricken areas need is relief, not rumors; what the victims need is respect, not exploitation. At a time like this, the most despicable are those demons hiding behind their screens, feasting on “buns dipped in human blood.”

The Gyirong mudslide serves as a warning not only because of its severity, but also because it exposes shortcomings in international cooperation on disaster governance. In the face of major natural disasters, no one can stand alone, and no one can respond to all challenges by themselves. Only through mutual assistance, coordination, and shared responsibility can more lives be saved.

On Taiwan question, Kiribati sets an example for Palau. As more countries recognize the fallacy of “Taiwan independence” and uphold the correct one-China approach, the space for separatist activity will continue to shrink. The ultimate collapse of Taiwan authorities' “checkbook diplomacy” is inevitable, and the bright future of China's complete reunification will surely arrive as scheduled.

Recently, a severe mudslide struck the Gyirong border port between China and Nepal. However, some “Taiwan independence” separatist forces have turned the natural disaster into a tool for political manipulation, exploiting the tragedy to advance divisive agendas and shamelessly “profiting from human suffering.”

China and Switzerland concluded negotiations on the enhancement of their Free Trade Agreement recently. Just as some governments around the world are discussing how to mitigate risks and shield domestic industries, the two countries have chosen a different path: further lower trade barriers, expand market access and make a clear case for openness, cooperation and free trade. This choice is worth pausing over.

Cybersecurity is a global issue. Instead of repeatedly putting on a “thief crying 'thief'” act, the US should first put its own cyber activities in order.

We respect nature because mountains and rivers must never be taken lightly.

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

The fact that a US tech giant is paying a Chinese company that Washington has placed on its "Entity List" to license the latter's technology alone is enough to render the clamorous "decoupling" rhetoric within the US utterly hollow.

Chinese people are no longer afraid of robots making fools of themselves. Not because they're perfect – because we understand how tech actually grows.

Signed on August 30, 1951, the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty will mark its 75th anniversary later this month. In recent years, the administration of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has, under the banner of "military modernization," continuously expanded military cooperation with the US through a series of bilateral defense agreements centered on the treaty.

Zimbabwean Minister calls for stronger China-Africa media cooperation to put Africa's development, innovation and achievements in the spotlight.

ome Western countries approach human rights in a narrow, one-dimensional way. They prioritize individual political rights at the cost of collective rights and the right to development. Development should not be a privilege reserved for a small number of countries and elites.

The year 2026 marks the 34th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. Over the past three decades and more, the two countries have steadily cultivated a path of good-neighborly friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation.

US military power is penetrating ever deeper into the Philippines' economic sphere, and US intelligence agencies make no secret of viewing the country as a forward node in the US' strategic competition with China.

For Taiwan to escape this "low-IQ cycle," it does not need more restrictions, but greater openness, exchange and a return to reality. Visit Beijing and you will know whether people have refrigerators. Come and visit Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chongqing, and Chengdu to see the real lives of ordinary people on the mainland.

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.

It is obvious that the upcoming BRICS Summit in New Delhi, India, serves as a sharp strategic wake-up call to the West. Over the past 25 years, perceptions of the Western elites regarding BRICS have been plagued by deep-seated cognitive misalignments.

From here on, every dialogue and every round of talks between China and India will be redefined within a new, more enduring strategic environment.

The challenge facing the global green transition is that Western countries are once again prioritizing their own self-interests. When climate considerations, economic calculations and political interests are all placed on the desks of Western leaders, their choices tend to be driven by calculations of their own political gains and losses.

Rather than using sensational metaphors such as "Trojan horse" or "fire horse" to inflame tensions, the US should adopt a more rational approach to the economic relationship between the two countries.

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.

The development of China-US relations has reached a point where, on the surface, the contradictions stem from clashes of interests, competition for relative strength, and differences in values. But at a deeper level, and perhaps more dangerously, one of the key problems is that the two sides suffer from serious misperceptions

Recently, a Western scholar published a commentary in Singapore's The Straits Times arguing that China has broken the "flying geese model," under which advanced countries transfer labor-intensive industries to late-developing countries.

Comparing an illegal unilateral sanctions campaign with no basis in international law and no authorization from the UN Security Council to the allied landing in Normandy, one of the defining battles of the anti-fascist war, is an absurd analogy. Forcing a stalled military conflict into the arena of economic confrontation only underscores how few cards the US has left to play.

Right now, many within the US political elite - almost all of them on the right of the political spectrum - should not be banging freedom's drum and touting their belief in humanitarianism.

The whole world sat up and took notice when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pulled out of trade talks with the US, with reports suggesting that Canada is set to announce retaliatory tariffs against the US on Tuesday.

Recently, the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) published a report entitled "As Tokyo and Manila Talk Boundaries, Beijing Breaks Them."

Recently, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated that "Taiwan is part of China" during an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera. His remarks on the Taiwan question quickly sent ripples through international public opinion.

Several US media outlets recently reported that Nvidia is spending $6 billion to build one of the world's most powerful open-weight AI models, in a bid to compete with Chinese heavyweight models such as DeepSeek and Kimi K3.

According to Dutch media reports, Washington is preparing to force the Netherlands to ban the lithography giant ASML from exporting almost any chip-making machines to China.

The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting on July 30 to make arrangements for economic work in the second half of this year, making it clear there is a need to promote sustained innovation-driven, high-quality and sound economic development

US-Canada trade talks collapsed recently. Washington imposed a 50 percent tariff on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, and Ottawa swiftly announced dollar-for-dollar retaliatory measures.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi took to X to discuss her life after moving into the Prime Minister's Official Residence. She recounted an instance when she screamed after a cockroach scuttled off her foot. However, she emphasized that, influenced by the concept of reincarnation in Osamu Tezuka's manga Phoenix, she said "I cannot bring myself to kill insects, including cockroaches."

The Second Ministerial Meeting of China-Indonesia Joint Foreign and Defense Ministerial Dialogue was held in Jakarta on Friday. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Defense Minister Dong Jun co-chaired the meeting with Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono and Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sees only the result – a decline in her approval ratings – but refuses to acknowledge that the cause lies in her own gradual erosion of trust.

In the face of Washington's tariff stick, Canada has launched a "Chinese-styled counterattack." As one of America's former closest allies, Canada's move reflects an increasingly clear consensus: No country has the privilege to monopolize the rules or dictate the fate of others.

In recent years, China's fertility support policy system has been taking shape at a faster pace. It is undergoing an important transition - from local pilots to a nationwide institutional framework, and from single-measure support to systematic support.

In the first half of this year, China's economy advanced under pressure and maintained an overall steady trajectory of development oriented toward the new and the better. The gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.7 percent year-on-year.

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.

China no longer competes solely with traditional manufacturing. Electric vehicles, batteries, and photovoltaic products symbolize a new era that forces Europe to resolve a dilemma: How to leverage more affordable technologies without abandoning the development of its own future technologies.

Amid widespread anticipation of a potential summit between the Chinese and US heads of state this September, the US military has once again sought to assert its presence in the Taiwan Straits. According to Reuters, a US Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft flew through the Taiwan Straits on Friday.

According to media reports on August 20, in response to the confiscation of a ZXMOTO motorcycle in the Taiwan region, Zhang Xue, founder of the brand, said in a video that if the motorcycle could not be retrieved, he would send another one. If the next motorcycle is confiscated again, he would keep sending more - "until reunification."

The so-called “economic D-Day” operation is less a new offensive launched by the US against Iran than it is yet another attempt by Washington to cut its losses as quickly as possible and extricate itself from the quagmire of the Middle East – a move to change tactics and keep gambling after military means have proven ineffective.

Why did Lai Ching-te go to such great lengths to dredge up these so-called “CPC secret directives”? Because the common sense that “even a three-year-old knows” can no longer deliver electoral shock value; only by twisting ordinary cross-Strait political risks into mysterious and inscrutable “secret directives” can they rapidly stoke anxiety among their supporters.

There can never be too many documentaries like Singapore's Inside Unit 731: Japan's Secret Human Experiments. Once again, the fig‑leaf shielding Japanese Right-wing forces has been torn away. A solid international body of evidence has completely shattered their lies.

Recycled “China threat” stories do nothing for the South China Sea's future. Those who habitually view China through a military prism should examine their own policies and military footprint in the region before pointing the finger.

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

While the island's local politics still indulge in empty slogans, superficial packaging and manufactured confrontation, the international community's adherence to the one-China principle is becoming clearer and more solidified.

A crucial detail of Koizumi's trip warrants attention: For Japanese strategists, Australia and India are not just conventional allies, but the long-consoled contingency plan should the US withdraw from the Asia-Pacific.

Some voices in the US discussed the concept of "China's neutrality trap" and implied that it can't be accepted if US companies want to keep good relations with both China and the US. Some even argued that US companies need to pick a side, either the US or China. What a ridiculous logic.

When Brazil comes to mind for most Chinese, the first image that flickers is always the fluid, poetic grace of samba football. The iconic yellow-and-green jerseys gliding across the pitch, the seamless footwork that flows like a river finding its course - these have long been the most deeply etched cultural signature of this South American country.

The "Needham Question" prompts reflection on history, and the "Qian Xuesen Question" articulates expectations regarding talent, while the reverse of the "Needham Question" illustrates the reality of China's renewed scientific and technological journey.

The core value of Macao's Third Five-Year Plan is that it marks a transition from directional discussions into a stage of systemic execution. With the window of opportunity now open, Macao can no longer rest on its laurels; it must actively pave new ground.

A recent Chinese hit movie about a chef in the Middle East offers an unusually intimate entry point into how war is experienced by those who have no stake in it – only the desire to survive it, together, over a shared meal.

As the leader of a key ASEAN nation, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar's public and unequivocal statement has directly shattered these “Taiwan independence” fantasies.

Taking effective steps to further improve China-SouthKorea relations is undoubtedly one of the best options for helping the Lee Jae-myung administration overcome its difficulties.

China's landmark Ecological and Environmental Code offers developing countries a statutory formula for shifting from end-of-pipe pollution control to #green productivity at the source, which increases both economic and environmental security for people.

Reunification is an integral part of the overall process of China's national rejuvenation – a practical question that cannot be evaded, delayed, or left unanswered.

The narrative that China's AI creates a “death zone” rests on three fundamental fallacies. The real “death zone” that AI should avoid is not market competition, but the innovation wasteland created by technological blockades, decoupling and zero-sum thinking.

The investment climate in China is currently undergoing a profound structural transition. The Chinese market is no longer focused on low-cost scale, but rather provides room for foreign players capable of deeply integrating into the domestic innovation ecosystem and high-end supply chain: Indonesian economist

Jordanian king's visit to China marks a new milestone in China-Jordan relations, underscoring the commitment of both leaderships to expanding a partnership that combines political moderation with developmental aspirations, linking Jordan's stability and strategic location with China's economic and technological capabilities.

Those seeking to monopolize the dividends see a “shock,” and those seeking broader access to technology see an “opportunity.”

What Taiwan society truly needs to consider is not how to permanently lock cross-Straits relations into confrontation, but how to find its proper place within the broader context of national rejuvenation.

Japan has expanded military capabilities beyond what is necessary as the geopolitical landscape in East Asia has shifted in recent years, which has become a source of regional instability.

While joint exercises, #US troop presence, extended deterrence and defense technology cooperation provide a baseline of institutional inertia that prevents an immediate breakdown of the South Korea-US alliance, strategic friction within the alliance will grow more pronounced.

Regarding this painful history written in blood and tears, all Chinese people – including our compatriots in Taiwan – won't tolerate any attempt to overturn the historical verdict.

As China sees a rapidly growing aging population and a pressing need for improved childcare services, new demands are placed on the allocation of public service resources in this new demographic phase.

The US Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby's “commitment” to Southeast Asia during his recent trip to the region looks more like an illusory promise driven by self-interest.

The primary reason why present-day Japan finds itself accused of sliding toward neo‑militarism is its total failure to draw a full reckoning with its wartime defeat. The “exclusively defense-oriented policy” is not simply hollowed out in form; its core spirit has been effectively discarded amid Japan's security transformation.

Held back by weaknesses in basic education and a lack of global perspective, American society does not have an objective understanding of #China. More ordinary Americans should set aside their prejudices and come to Chin. “Trust what you see with your own eyes, not rumors,” says a US political economist

What Taiwan society truly needs is not to pander to Japan's right-wing, nor to whitewash its colonial history and certainly not to fall into collective silence in the face of national righteousness.

If the West wishes to truly understand China, it must first set aside arrogance and prejudice, and break free from the ingrained mindset that the Western path is the only correct one.

August 15 serves as a "mirror that reveals demons," once again exposing the extreme danger posed by Japan's current ruling authorities.

Three reports published by The New York Times over the past two days have punctured the fantasy of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. No matter how powerful the US military is, Washington will never provide DPP authorities with an unlimited safety net.

Japan, a country who rush to revise its “three security documents” that once launched wars of militarist aggression, yet has never conducted a thorough reckoning with its history, is now steadily advancing “remilitarization” in the name of “defense.” Any reckless attempt to return to the path of militarism will only bring profound disaster to Japan itself and to the Asia-Pacific region.

After Sado Gold Mines was successfully inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Japan failed to honor its commitment to fully present the “full history” of the forced mobilization of workers from the Korean Peninsula. Yet the bones buried in the mines do not lie, and the blood and tears of those laborers have not dried. History will not disappear simply because it is deliberately concealed. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.

US accuses more than 40 countries of “helping” China avoid US' tariffs. Instead of looking for the root cause in its own tariff policies, the #US is stigmatizing ordinary transshipment within global supply chains. If you see every car on the highway driving in the wrong direction, perhaps you are the one going the wrong way.

Faced with historical revisionism that has entered the algorithmic era, Asian countries need to do more than repeatedly prove that "a lie remains a lie."

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.

Ulaanbaatar is only the first stop. The continued development of China's aviation industry and aviation market dictates that the global expansion of domestically produced large aircraft is an inevitable trend.

This is the true face of the DPP authorities' "green terror."

Ultimately, what Brussels should be doing is strengthening the protection of workers' legitimate rights and interests and promoting social progress and industry standards, rather than following Washington in turning "forced labor" into an instrument of geopolitics and trade protectionism.

So many people in China gather to sing in parks every morning, and some of those singers later go on to leave their mark on the wider world.

From the SouthChinaSea to the Taiwan question, the recent joint statement issued by Australia and the Philippines is a patchwork. Yet the more issues are crammed into the same template, the more glaringly absurd the patchwork becomes.

Former Australian ambassador to China Graham Fletcher recently wrote in a report for the Lowy Institute that Australia-China relations "remain fragile" and vulnerable to shocks. He believes that "stability will remain a goal, not a given."

Taiwan's DPP is using the vaccine controversy to cover up the toxic oil scandal.

What will tomorrow's cities look like? ​Glowing waterways, sleek transit pods gliding on neon tracks, and a digital utopia of glossy, frictionless perfection - just ask any AI to paint the future, and this is probably how you get sold the dream.

From chinoiserie to Chinamaxxing, the West has rediscovered China more than once. The first rediscovery turned China into an ornament. The second may yet become something more meaningful

Over the past century, the narrative of global development has revolved around the Industrial Revolution led by Europe - exemplified by Germany-US economic and technological supremacy and the arduous catching-up efforts of developing countries.

Taiwan's DPP officials have once again had a meltdown. On August 9, Nagasaki, Japan, held a ceremony marking the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city.

The US recently imposed new tariffs on 60 economies, including China, on the grounds of "forced labor," and then added more than 40 Chinese companies to its Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List.

For the Global South, China's model of self-reliant scientific and technological development offers vital lessons in breaking away from Western techno-monopolies and peripheral dependency.

The US itself has long been a habitual offender of forced labor. It not only built its early wealth on slavery and the slave trade, using forced labor as a means of primitive accumulation of capital, but various forms of forced labor remain widespread within the country even in the 21st century.

New Delhi may finally be realizing that persisting with trade and economic barriers against China will neither secure industrial upgrading nor yield greater external dividends; instead, it risks relegating India to the sidelines in the global race for production capacity.

"China Cool" is not merely about escaping high temperatures. It represents a broader experience that combines comfortable travel, cultural discovery, natural beauty and modern convenience.

US economist Stephen Roach's claim that “the Hong Kong of old is over” reveals an outdated sense.

The DPP is aware that the Taiwan region's limited territory and lack of strategic depth - compounded by a severely fragmented defense industry - render it utterly incapable of sustaining a prolonged, high-intensity military confrontation.

What is more dangerous for Taiwan region than an “internet shutdown” is losing sight of its governance challenges and cross-Straits realities amid repeated cycles of political theater and emotional mobilization.

In the face of the rise of American AI, Europe is asking whether access today could become leverage tomorrow. Technological and AI sovereignty should mean reducing single-source vulnerabilities and expanding Europe's choices, not pursuing isolation or complete self-sufficiency.

Today is August 9. 81 years ago on this day, an atomic bomb fell on Nagasaki. The root cause of this tragedy lay precisely in the acts of aggression and atrocities launched abroad by Japanese militarism.

When viewed together, today's news stories reveal the two sides across the Taiwan Straits are moving in fundamentally opposite directions.

In the summer of 2026, "China Cool" genuinely became a buzzword.

On July 31, the US once again invoked the unfounded allegation of "forced labor" in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, adding 43 Chinese companies to the relevant "Entity List."

Taiwan's land is the home where its people live, not a stage for political mobilization.

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

China does not give lessons; China shares its experiences. And it is high time we #Indians learn from these experiences and set our own goals. China's rise should not frighten India into defensiveness. It should challenge India into ambition.

Those in Europe who advocate "using a Trade War to force China to the negotiating table" are simply offering a poor imitation of US tariff strategy.

If we want to understand the Chinese political system, we have to understand the foundation of it, says a Canadian political theorist. “I wanted to let the Western readers know that China has not just great debates, but also very diverse and sometimes very opposing and conflicting perspectives.”

For the US, the truly responsible choice is not to let anti-China politicians hijack policy toward China, but to return to a path of rationality, restraint, communication, and the management of boundaries. Whoever treats the Taiwan question as a bargaining chip or a stage for political posturing risks creating consequences that could impact the entire world.

The Economist recently published an article titled “China won't apologise for overcapacity,” like a political tool dressed up in academic language. If China's production capacity is truly “excessive” and “harmful,” then what kind of extraordinary power does China possess that allows it to win the favor of global consumers? The fantasy thought is nothing more than a fit of hysteria; and it is time to seek treatment.

The mango tree offers a fitting metaphor for Pakistan-China cooperation. Unlike annual crops, it demands years of patience and investment before bearing fruit. But once firmly rooted, it rewards those efforts with harvests for decades.

The operations of Chinese warships on the high seas require no one's "permission" and tolerate no interference. So what if they “sail around Japan” once – or twice?

What the DPP fears most is ordinary Taiwan residents visiting the mainland in person – because the reality of the mainland would expose the lies the DPP has been weaving for years as baseless. When mainland visits by people like Chen Pei-chi multiply – from one individual to crowds, from a single trip to millions upon millions – the thin veneer shielding the DPP will be pierced.

A South African architect tells the story of his life as both an architect and a guesthouse owner in Guangxi's Jiuxian Village. “It's hard to imagine a better life and impossible to imagine better people.”

The fundamental shift in US policy toward China from "engagement and containment" to all-out "strategic competition" is transforming Chinese-American scholars from bridges between civilizations into targets of suspicion. If this trajectory continues, the very openness that once made US academia a magnet for global talent will be its own casualty.

The Japanese authorities' use of anime-style messaging to lure and influence young people is deeply troubling and shameful. It is a reminder that militarism never returns overnight. It often begins with the reconstruction of narratives, spreads through education and propaganda, becomes tied to economic interests, and ultimately transforms into fundamental shifts in policy and action.

Japan's continued overstepping of boundaries on the Taiwan question is no longer merely a matter of “excessive rhetoric” in the abstract, but rather a constant testing of the political red lines in China-Japan relations.

China offers valuable experience and an alternative approach for the human rights governance of other multi-ethnic countries. If the West genuinely cares about global human rights governance, it should recognize the positive principles and values embodied in China's new law on ethnic affairs.

Canada's Registry of foreign influence activities could become an institutional tool for some forces in Canada to fuel anti-China narratives. A system established in the name of preventing foreign interference could ultimately leave Canada more inward-looking rather than more secure.

The challenges facing the German industry are not merely a cyclical downturn in specific sectors, but a profound structural test. Simply blaming #Germany's structural difficulties on “China Shock 2.0” will not solve the problem; it may even prove counterproductive.

Japanese right-wing force envision pushing Japan to evolve into a “world-class intelligence power” – an extremely dangerous political declaration. A country burdened with historical blood debts owed to its Asian neighbors refuses to devote itself to reconciliation and cooperation. Instead, it chases the status of an “intelligence power.” Such misplaced priority lays bare the deep-seated obsessions Japan's right wing has never abandoned.

The bickering among EU member states over the #Ceuta crisis reflects a persistent governance dilemma and societal anxiety regarding refugee and migration policy, which are bound to add fuel to the fire of Europe's ongoing political rightward shift.

If some in the Taiwan region still treat “maintaining the status quo” as the end goal, that is not prudence but misjudgment. For the Taiwan region, what must truly be dispelled is not the expectation of peace, but the illusion that history will remain forever unchanged.

The resumption of #border trade between China and India is undoubtedly a positive development. But an approach of "taking small steps and moving slowly" is no longer sufficient. What China and India need is a strategic vision and institutional arrangements commensurate with their new historical standing.

Some people in Britain are talking with great alarm about the “second China Shock." Blaming China might make some economists and politicians in London feel a little better, but it is a mask for failure somewhere other than Beijing.

The “Han Kuang” military exercises are not a display of strength, but a form of psychological comfort. Such self-deceptive preparations cannot reverse the balance of power. When an egg collides with a rock, no matter how thick the eggshell is painted, it will never become harder than the rock.

China presents a universalist arrangement that is institutionally more advanced and fundamentally different from the Washington Consensus. China's economic model offers the GlobalSouth a pragmatic alternative for increasing productivity and strengthening autonomy on the international stage, says a Brazilian economist.

The historical trend toward China's complete reunification is unstoppable, and the PLA, as a “steadfast bulwark,” will uphold peace, safeguard unity and help secure a bright future for national rejuvenation at critical moments.

The Philippines' attempt to realize its fantasy of "occupying" Huangyan Dao by drawing baselines is destined to remain nothing more than a pipe dream.

Manila's delusion that it can simply carve Huangyan Dao out of China's territory with a scrap of paper is nothing short of a pipe dream.

What Taiwan society truly needs is not a fragmented understanding of isolated policy news, but a holistic awareness of the CPC's governance capability.

The PLA has made active efforts and important contributions in serving and implementing this initiative.

Saturday marks the 99th anniversary of the founding of the PLA. A stern warning is hereby served to those diehard "Taiwan independence" separatists.

If the US genuinely wishes to prove that it is not seeking "conflict with China," the most direct, effective, and persuasive way is to stop sending any misleading signals to "Taiwan independence" forces, and truly deliver on its commitment to keep them in check.

Clearly, these senators are not serving "US national security," but rather the financial interests of their constituents' donors.

The Japanese government recently approved the launch of a new national intelligence bureau and scheduled the first meeting of the national intelligence council for July 31. The date is particularly striking, as it inevitably evokes memories of Unit 731, the notorious Japanese germ-warfare detachment established during World War II (WWII).

For the militarists, “peace” is but a mask. If Japan's neo-militarism is left unchecked now, those gears will keep turning, and no one can remain a mere bystander.

Food safety is supposed to be the most basic bottom line of people's livelihood. However, as a result of the political calculations of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), it has repeatedly been sacrificed.

Brasilia and Xiong'an should become sister cities, creating opportunities to exchange experiences and best practices in sustainable urban development and improving the quality of life of their citizens.

Current Secretary-General António Guterres will conclude his 10-year term at the end of this year. Who will succeed him and lead this most universal, authoritative and representative intergovernmental organization has drawn widespread attention.

A Washington Post report published lately brought a diplomatic row between the US and Brazil into the spotlight: the Brazilian government denied visas to two senior US State Department officials whom the current administration planned to dispatch on a mission to cast doubt on the "fairness and integrity" of the country's electoral system.

Jointly curated by the Ordos Museum and the Museo Egizio - the world's oldest Egyptian museum with a history of over two centuries - the exhibition brings together 178 precious ancient Egyptian artifacts. Over its five-month run, this northern Chinese city has become a stage where the civilizations of the Nile and the Yellow River engage in a silent yet profound dialogue.

In his recent article for Foreign Affairs, titled "China's Moment of Weakness: Economic Decay and America's Strategic Opening," Logan Wright, a partner at Rhodium Group, articulates a perspective that epitomizes the prevailing consensus in Washington regarding China's economic situation.

Today, voices discussing peaceful reunification have begun to emerge on the island of Taiwan.

Western ambassadors showed up for the #DalaiLama's 91st birthday — the first time in a decade Nepal allowed the event to grow this visible. Why did Nepal's former PM and ambassadors protest? They warned that neutrality isn't lost in one dramatic collapse. It's eroded — one permitted event at a time.

Throwing another couple hundred million dollars into the mix now will do little more than allow a group of bureaucrats and contractors to feast on another round of the "anti-China gravy train."

An authority incapable of safeguarding people's livelihoods will sooner or later be rejected by public opinion; a system reliant on monopolies to sustain its advantages can never hold onto the future.

While American unpredictability provides the impetus for South Korea, Japan and Europe to cooperate, the "China factor" is often leveraged to grant the effort strategic legitimacy.

The US military has paused its airstrikes on Iran, but whether this volatile and erratic conflict has truly reached a turning point remains far from certain.

At a moment when the world appears to be drifting dangerously toward a new era of confrontation among major powers, the telephone conversation between Brazilian and Chinese leaders on Monday amounted to far more than a routine bilateral exchange.

Apparently, in parts of the Australian media, even a jar of tomato paste now requires a geopolitical security clearance. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) latest Four Corners programme began with what could have been a legitimate investigation into food labelling, but soon converted an ordinary question of commercial compliance into another ideological attack on China.

ABC is welcome to keep rummaging through ketchup bottles, but the world will not reject Xinjiang tomatoes simply because of ABC's paranoid performance.

Amid the shared China-US consensus on containing "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, the disparity in strength between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits has become a foregone conclusion, and the process of China's complete reunification is steadily advancing.

The image of Māori warriors paddling dragon boats alongside Chinese teams, and Chinese visitors joining in the Haka, lingers long after the credits roll.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation(SCO). The Meeting of the Council of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the SCO Member States in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, has drawn widespread international attention, recently, and the 2026 SCO Media and Think Tank Summit is now underway in Bishkek.

Every day on the Qinghai-Xizang Railway is a challenge. Stretching 1,956 kilometers, it is the highest and longest plateau permafrost railway in the world. The thin air and low oxygen levels mean that locomotive air compressors frequently trigger overheating alarms, threatening to bring trains to a halt at any moment.

The spread of China's "next new three" across the world is not about squeezing other countries' development space, but about making technological innovation more accessible and inclusive.

On July 25, over 200,000 Taiwan residents braved the scorching heat and took to Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei, holding banners that read "oppose toxic oil, protect food safety," shouting slogans like "I am human, I oppose poisoning Taiwan." Reports of local media described this as one of the largest-scale food safety protests in recent years on the island.

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.

A court announcement published in June indicating that Louis Vuitton (LV) recently sued a property developer and two property management companies was widely misinterpreted as evidence that LV had expanded its trademark enforcement from commercial products to architectural decoration.

On Friday local time, a new round of universal US Section 301 tariffs targeting 60 trading partners officially took effect, covering 99.4 percent of US imports. The measures impose a 10 percent rate on economies including the UK, Canada, Mexico and India, and a 12.5 percent rate on China, Japan, South Korea and Australia.

Xiong'an and Egypt's New Capital both have broken free from centuries of traditional urban evolution. They prove that a country can start with ecology, infrastructure, and public services first - then attract people and industries. Bold vision and strong execution are all it takes to build a truly sustainable city.

On July 25, a rally and march under the slogan “I am human, I oppose poisoning Taiwan” was held on Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei. What people care about is not who argues more aggressively on TV or who shifts blame faster, but a simple, practical question: What cooking oil can they safely use tonight?

More than 20 companies, including #Nvidia and #Microsoft, urge the US to support open-source AI models. The US' AI industry is now trapped in a deep contradiction. The AI industry opposes “premature restrictions”, but governments are seeking containment and restrictions. What is the cure for US AI anxiety?

The continuous advancement of a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability means that the space for the Philippines to fish in troubled waters is shrinking overall.

This Manila meeting cannot resolve all differences between China and the US in one stroke. Yet it once again demonstrates the basic principle for how the two countries should interact.
