Preventing Islamic risk on ‘Belt and Road’
When promoting OBOR, China should fully consider risk returns, and try to maximize returns while minimizing risk.
Rio Olympics deserves applause from us
The Games has a great historical value in promoting peace and spreading understanding and respect.
London horror
Knife attack in London
US elections expose deep woes of democracy
All in all, the US-style democratic system cannot fit the times or lead the international trend. Rather, with political elitism at its core, the system has catered to populism. The eruption of the “e-mailgate” is inevitably under this political logic. While democracy stresses fairness, how can US democracy represent fairness when the elections are manipulated?
Brazilians smiling despite troubled times before Rio 2016 Games
Regardless of the disorder and disturbances before and in the Games, Brazil will try its best to offer harmony with Brazilian style.
Double standard haunts female politicians
But even that is not as important as asking: What do a woman or man’s domestic skills have to do with their ability to lead a country?
US, South should give up NK collapse theory
Economic sanctions will not bring North Korea to its knees. Threatening the country by deploying the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system in South Korea is even more ridiculous. In light of this, abandoning the unrealistic North Korea collapse theory, making joint effort with international community for the Six-Party Talks, sitting down with Pyongyang at the negotiating table for denuclearization on the peninsula is a better choice for Washington, Tokyo and Seoul.
Seoul to blame if Korean Wave falters
It’s not China’s fault if South Korean stars eventually become the scapegoat of the THAAD deployment.
Geopolitical intention puts TPP in dilemma
The US, playing the role of global leader for decades, must be aware of the fact, and give due respect to China’s position in the international community. If the TPP fails, it should serve as a lesson to the US; if it can stagger along, it must be reformulated to fit into the real landscape of the world.

Japan hypes up China threat in defense white paper
THAAD decision will upset regional order
It is true that a small number of citizens may launch a boycott of South Korean products in the protest against the THAAD deployment. But we must avoid radical nationalist sentiments since they will be of no help in easing tensions. The authorities should create favorable conditions for negotiations, and meanwhile the public should be rational in expressing their patriotic sentiments, and take effective measures to settle the issue.
Shameful slap leaves tourists with red faces
When violence can always be justified by people in China, these people have gone beyond respect for the rule of law or human rights. It is natural for people living in such environment to behave poorly overseas and taint China’s image as a whole. Therefore, while Liang reflected on her violent behavior in US custody before being released soon, the Chinese public also needs some reflection too.
Russians figure Trump can’t be worse for Moscow than Clinton
The expectation of Russian authorities and society for Trump not really lies in his potential to improve US-Russia ties. It is because Russia is now under too much external pressure and Trump’s winning the US presidential election will deliver results no worse than Clinton – for Russia.
Brazil’s party spirit will make Olympics hit
When you stroll down the beach avenue in Rio and brush past the tanned sunbathers, or when you see the rejoicing of Brazilians playing in the sea, why complain?
