Originally, the Philippines had no major external security threats, but it has managed to turn itself into one of the most insecure regional countries, becoming a pawn in geopolitical games.

In today's deeply integrated, globalized world, the West should abandon this outdated mind-set and promote effective global cooperation.

Ishiba's visit to the US demonstrates a test of Japan's ability to carve out space to survive in the game between China and the US. Japan should adopt a pragmatic approach to advancing dialogue with China and avoid fueling bloc confrontation by siding with the US against China. Only by adhering to open cooperation can Japan break free from zero-sum constraints and contribute to regional and global stability.
My country needs to resume an agenda that puts Argentina itself at the center of decision-making.
Recently, the Philippines has been leveraging external partnerships to heighten tensions in the South China Sea. After the joint air patrol, it conducted a multilateral maritime cooperative activity. These military "ensembles," presented in the name of demonstrating security commitments and maintaining the rules-based order, resemble an orchestrated display of military posturing — with dangerous sparks repeatedly ignited by Manila flickering within.
The Harbin Asian Winter Games, using ice and snow as a medium, will build a bridge for mutual learning among civilizations, witnessing another "mutual journey" for deepening exchanges and enhancing friendship between the people of China and the world.
The economic and trade ties between China and the US cannot be severed by a mere executive order; only through joint cooperation can consumers on both sides of the Pacific share the benefits of trade.
Who is truly creating the "monsters" that are disrupting peace in the South China Sea? With the backing of “small circles” such as the Squad, the Philippines has become a bolder troublemaker in the South China Sea, like “a vine with growing toxic thorns.” Perhaps what the “S” in “Squad” truly stands for is “sabotage” and “strife.”
If we have sovereignty, we can make our own decisions, and we can get rid of whatever we don't want. When it comes to the canal, that's something that is so much part of the fabric of the Panamanian people. Anything that you say negative about the canal prompts us to defend it. We are growing into making decisions and learning how to collectively determine our destiny.
The US attempt of using the Panama Canal as a pretext to pressure Panama into distancing itself from China not only lays bare Washington's persistent hegemonic mind-set but also highlights its well-worn strategy of using "diplomatic and economic leverage" to serve its own interests. If Washington's grand talk of a “golden age of the Americas” is merely a rebranded excuse for US meddling – where the “golden age” serves only America, without the “s” – then it's doubtful that the people of Latin America will embrace it.
Just as Ne Zha reshaped the laws of the three realms with the power of the Primordial Pearl in the film, Chinese cinema is also constructing a new industrial landscape through the dual spiral gene of “technology + culture.”
The reality of Xinjiang and its ethnic groups is not genocide but increasing prosperity and modernity. Any problems in ethnic relations are dwarfed by the palpable progress visible to any unbiased observer who visits Xinjiang!

The Philippines' smear tactics against "Chinese spies” are hardly novel; they are not only an old trick used by the US but also highlight how the Philippines' current policy toward China is slipping into an impulsive and irrational abyss. Manila should recognize that the "China threat" narrative cannot solve practical problems, but instead will inflict irreparable damage to the bilateral cultural and economic ties between China and the Philippines.
Using 20th-century geopolitical methods to address the technological revolution of the 21st century will only cause the US to miss valuable development opportunities. Whether it focuses on blockades and encirclements or seeks new ways to stand out from the competition will lead to entirely different outcomes.
The game will ultimately demonstrate that hegemonism's arrogance and misjudgment of reality will continually undermine Washington's foundational path of strategic development.
The US is expected to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday.
Spring Festival in China is so much more than anything we in the West can relate to. This year will be my 19th in China. Now, I'm proud to call China home and never more pleased to be here than at the Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival.
2025 will be a year of geopolitical turmoil. What lies ahead may be the US' continued attempt to maintain a unipolar world against the tide of multipolarity. The gloves are off, and it will be up to the major capitals of the Global South to contain the adventurism of the US Deep State and its vassals.
This year's Spring Festival once again brought together families across China in a heartwarming display of tradition and togetherness. As I look back on the holidays, I am reminded of the countless stories of reunion, resilience and joy that define this special time of year.
In recent years, the US has frequently accused China of being the main source of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals and blamed China for its domestic fentanyl crisis. On the evening of February 1 (EST), the US even announced an additional 10 percent tariff on imports from China, using issues such as fentanyl as a pretext. Such views and action of the US politicians will not help solve the problem but only cause severe damage to the multilateral trading system.
The multilateral trading system, embodied by the World Trade Organization (WTO), serves as the cornerstone of international trade activities, with the core mission of promoting the free flow of trade globally. WTO principles and disciplines constitute a core code of conduct for WTO members. The second Trump administration believes that fentanyl poses a severe threat to American society and wishes to have domestic challenges resolved by other countries who, under US pressure, would intensify their enforcement efforts. However, such unilateral trade coercion violates WTO rules and disciplines, thus constituting the incorrect way to solve the problem.
For many Chinese, the heart of the Spring Festival lies in family reunion. This year, what makes the festival more special is that the Spring Festival has been inscribed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This gives the Chinese festival a global connotation. The Global Times selects the opinions of some foreign experts to share their experiences and understanding of the Spring Festival.

China and Cambodia are staunch friends and a community with a shared future. They are also members of the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization family."

I'm so excited that the world is changing and getting a lot smaller. It started with US "TikTok refugees" joining Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media networking and e-commerce platform known in English as RedNote.
May the cultural spirit embodied in the Spring Festival become a force that inspires and unites the world in the new year; this is our shared blessing and hope.
The mutually beneficial demands between China and the US are entering a phase of concentrated growth, and both sides should value this important window for cooperation.
Today, every major economy, other than the US, prefers to deepen its trade ties and resolve its trade policy differences within the framework of trade multilateralism and the four corners of treaty law – and, if need be, consensually build out that framework.
This Spring Festival, the first after being designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, conveys to the world the aspirations and beginnings of continuous self-transcendence.
Touhid Hossain, Adviser for Foreign Affairs of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, visited China from Tuesday to Friday, marking his first trip abroad since assuming office. Some believe that his visit underscores Bangladesh's commitment to China-Bangladesh relations. Despite changes in Bangladesh's domestic political landscape, the country remains determined to continue developing bilateral ties with China.
For a superpower capable of spending billions of dollars to support wars, the $2.8 billion owed to the UN seems to be an insignificant figure. The selective attitude reflects the US' stance on international rules: It supports those that serve its own interests while shirking the responsibilities befitting its great power status.
Today's China is no longer just the "world's factory" or "a giant market for the world's companies;" it is increasingly becoming the "world's research-and-development laboratory."

ASEAN is a family. When a family faces a problem, it is unwise for one member to turn to external parties for “help.” Doing so only exacerbates the situation, escalating tensions and undermining internal cohesion.
In Canada's case, I think it was very short-sighted for the government to essentially sign up for this new American cold war. The smart thing, or at least the obvious thing, for Canada to do is to say it needs to diversify its trading partners so that it can't be economically blackmailed.
TikTok's plight is not an isolated case but rather a microcosm of the US market environment, where similar incidents continue to occur.
In the future, China will enhance law enforcement cooperation with ASEAN countries, resolutely combat cross-border illegal activities such as telecom fraud, online gambling, and human trafficking, jointly address social ills like online gambling and scams, safeguard the safety of people's lives and property, and build a closer regional community with a shared future for security.

Now, before the new term of the US president, there has already been a round of positive exchanges between China and the US. We look forward to greater progress at this new starting point under the guidance of head-of-state diplomacy, achieving mutual success, common prosperity, benefiting both countries, and contributing to the world.

The planned first joint coast guard training exercises between Quad countries are widely regarded as another strategic move by the bloc aimed at containing China, rather than merely a multilateral maritime law enforcement initiative. It further underscores how the Quad has evolved into a political instrument for the US in its so-called great power competition.
In a world of rising uncertainty and volatility, the best thing that China and Europe can do is working together so that stability and prosperity will prevail.
By allowing the US, one of the belligerent or quasi-belligerent powers, to pre-position missile systems in its territory, the Philippines has turned itself into a direct participant and a magnet for retaliatory or preemptive strikes: Philippine scholar
