Washington has sought to frame what should be sovereign economic decisions within a geopolitical context – treating cooperation as a risk, and development as a threat. This not only severely infringes on other countries' legitimate right to develop but also reflects the US' own insecurity about its international standing.
Is the transatlantic alliance over? The EU, once ironclad ally of the US, now find itself locked in a game of counterintelligence. The bloc's cautious mode of interaction with the Washington – like walking on thin ice – demonstrates how mutual trust has withered away.
The so-called “semiconductor iron triangle” is, at its core, a containment mechanism aimed at China – designed to please the US in exchange for strategic protection. Using the “semiconductor iron triangle” as a pledge of allegiance may make some noise – it won't win the game.
The key to unlocking the deadlock in China-US relations lies in the process of globalization itself: The two major powers are already deeply intertwined. Forcibly decoupling will only cause both sides to bleed endlessly. The only way forward is through equal dialogue.
If the US continues to approach Latin American affairs from the standpoint and principles of the Monroe Doctrine - smearing China's legitimate cooperation while interfering in Latin American nations' independent choices and attempting to control them, clinging to outdated colonial dreams to hinder win-win cooperation - it will only further erode its own influence in the region.
China and the EU have gone through challenges, while common interests drive their relationship forward and make it more resilient.
By making India aware of its dependence on Chinese supply chains, China can encourage India to adopt a more pragmatic and cooperative stance. Both nations can realize their fullest economic potential only by shifting toward partnership rather than opposition.
The security of Asian countries does not need NATO's interference, nor do they welcome NATO dragging its "partner" countries into geopolitical theater.
Europe should have a long-term strategic vision.
The meeting of China, Japan, and South Korea reminds us that diplomacy in the 21st century often looks less like dramatic breakthroughs and more like incremental progress. As the Chinese proverb goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This step may light the way for a more self-determined Asia.
Over the past two days, Australia has been paranoid about a Chinese research vessel that appeared off the coast of South Australia. In Australian media's portrayal, what was originally a harmless research ship has, for no clear reason, been transformed into a "spy ship."
The China-Laos Railway has safely handled over 50 million passenger trips since its launch on December 3, 2021, serving more than 480,000 international travelers from 112 countries and regions worldwide, according to the railway operator on Friday.
History should never be a doll to be dressed up at will. Today, when some choose to discard historical truth for transient strategic benefits, we must remain vigilant: Betraying our history will ultimately lead us astray in the future. Upholding historical truth is not only a tribute to the past but also a solemn duty to our descendants.
The real threat is not China's technological rise, but the US' malicious interference in global technological development for geopolitical purposes.
The future of China-EU relations depends on the joint efforts of both sides.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is scheduled to visit the Philippines from Friday to Saturday. The Philippines has unusually become the first stop in the Asia-Pacific for the US defense chief's inaugural visit, significantly emboldening the country's provocations against China.
For international tourists, traveling to the US has naturally taken a backseat to more welcoming, safe, and convenient alternative destinations.
India's challenges extend beyond regulatory complexity or policy bottlenecks.
To date, no country has proven that Chinese enterprises' 5G equipment poses any security threats. On the contrary, by excluding Chinese equipment and components based on groundless fears, Europe is, under the guise of "de-risking," effectively undermining its own strengths and capabilities. What Europe needs is not the bricks to build walls, but the wisdom to build bridges.
VOA has long viewed China through a lens of prejudice and distortion, fabricating news. How could it have ever opened an “window”? It only forces the world to wear “cognitive sunglasses” clouded by ideological fog. Truly understanding China requires dismantling these artificial cognitive barriers.
The maneuvers of Japan and the EU will only add complexity to the South China Sea issue and intensify the situation in the region and jeopardize regional peace and stability.
When American consumers pay up to $8 per dozen eggs and find no eggs to buy, they are not only shouldering the cost of living but also the price of unilateralism. Currently, the US stock market is volatile, inflation remains high, and consumer confidence is declining – these warning signs all point to the consequences of unilateralism.
The G7's attempts to revive the rhetoric and tactics of imperialism are not only misguided but also doomed to fail in an increasingly multi-polar world. The G7's imperialist nostalgia has no place in the 21st century.
China, with its stable policies and strong research capabilities, extends a welcoming embrace to top global talent. Whether they are Chinese-American scientists or outstanding researchers from around the world, China warmly welcomes them to help shape the future of science and technology.
It is certain that Chinese people will not only live longer but also live better. A more inclusive, dynamic, and fulfilling long-lived society is on the horizon, one that will shape a new and hopeful vision for China's future.
For Washington, the solution requires more than new industrial policies — it demands a shift in perspective. Viewing China solely as a rival is like trying to compete in the digital age with a steam engine mindset.
The fantasies of Don Quixote stem from the romance of chivalric novels, while the "wind turbine phobia" of certain Europeans seems to originate from anxiety over competition and a misunderstanding of Chinese development.
While some Australian politicians wield the "national security" stick, real-world tech communities elsewhere are building cross-border networks of cooperation.
Chinese EVs and Southeast Asia's green development goals are creating strong synergy.
The rise in Chinese residents' income is injecting new vitality into the global economy.
Africa is not an arena for major power rivalry, but rather a blue ocean for cooperation and win-win outcomes.
The increased demand for Nvidia chips has delivered benefits to American companies, demonstrating that the success and development of DeepSeek are advantageous not only to China and the US but also to the world at large.
The China-Cambodia friendship, cultivated by the older generation of leaders of both countries, has stood the test of the changing international landscape.
On the geopolitical stage, sometimes 1+1 doesn't equal 2. In the end, both Japan and the Philippines will end up losing.
The main challenge facing the US in technological competition is not a lack of free market competition or decline in domestic innovation capacity. Instead, it lies in the flawed strategy of attempting to protect its competitiveness by blocking Chinese companies and their investment.
The Philippines is once again staging a clumsy political show regarding the South China Sea issue.
Telecom fraud is a common challenge facing China and Southeast Asian countries. The cooperative model between China, Myanmar and Thailand provides valuable insights for other Southeast Asian nations and offers useful lessons for global security governance.
For those forces in the West who remain wary of China's enhanced cooperation with Pacific Island countries, it is essential to consider how to provide meaningful support to these regional nations instead of perpetually creating unnecessary “competition for influence.”
While challenges remain, Ne Zha 2 will prove that cultural exchange in the 21st century is not about imposing one's values but finding common ground through shared stories.
From infrastructure construction to focusing on modernization and cutting-edge technology, the "sour grapes" narrative of foreign media cannot conceal the fruitful outcomes of China-Africa cooperation. While the West is busy weaving lies, China and Africa have already woven a network of development and illuminated an autonomous future with technology, writing a new chapter of unity and development for the Global South.
The US has not made any contributions to resolving the Russia-Ukraine war; instead, it has exploited the situation for its own benefits. Ukraine's rare earth resources and the Europe's arms orders have all become targets for US exploitation.
The underlying logic behind this proposal is straightforward: In the emerging multipolar world, does the Philippines have a distinct place, or will it continue to serve as a pawn for other countries?
According to the Korea Times, since January, some supporters of the impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol have held rallies every Friday evening along Myeongdong Street in central Seoul to stir up anti-China sentiment by spreading rumors about China's alleged involvement in election fraud.
DeepSeek has emerged as a captivating topic of discussion in the global AI community. This small team of fewer than 140 people has achieved what even some tech giants struggle to accomplish.
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.”
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.
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.
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 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.
A sharp rise in European defense spending may not necessarily benefit Europe's security. Paying more “protection fees” to the US may not help promote European defense integration but could exacerbate the unequal relationship between Europe and the US.
It's expected that the US can join forces with China and the rest of the world in combating climate change, rather than backtracking its climate commitments. Washington should understand that when the rest of the world suffers from climate change, the US won't be spared.
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.
The relationship between China and Vietnam is about more than politics or economics. It's about building a future where both nations – and the region as a whole – can thrive. In a time when the world often feels divided and uncertain, their partnership reminds us of what can be achieved through cooperation and shared goals.
To what extent should Australia achieve its strategic autonomy and truly serve its own interests? Is the vision of the Asia-Pacific in the US blueprint the future Australia wants?
The Spring Festival travel rush is not merely an emotional connection for the Chinese people; it also reflects China's cultural soft power and international influence.
Americans are suffering because the country has lost the ability to unite and transcend divisions in times of crisis. To make a shift, the US must champion cooperation.
The two approaches – market-oriented and government-led – vividly illustrate the differences of China and the US in responding to their natural disasters. Despite the differences, both Chinese and US systems must ultimately be evaluated based on their adherence to the shared principle of "putting people at the center." #CaliforniaWildfires #XizangEarthquake
The US has developed a formulaic approach to smear China on cyberattack topics: no technical details, no investigative reports, and no credible evidence.
In the tense context of global geopolitics, the positive trends of connectivity between China, Japan and South Korea serve as a vivid example.
The inner momentum of China-Africa relations will always stand the test of times and drive the relations deeper and further.
The rhetoric of the US valuing its allies seems even more hypocritical in light of its recent rejection of Japan's Nippon Steel's purchase of US Steel.
The Biden administration's move reinforces a growing perception that the US is prioritizing its own economic security over the interests of its partners. This could strain alliances and push countries like Japan, as well as EU members, to seek closer economic ties with other nations.
On the first day of 2025, nine countries - Belarus, Bolivia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Cuba, Uganda, Malaysia and Uzbekistan - officially became BRICS partners. This marks another milestone in the development of BRICS, following the historic expansion of the group.
In 2025, we hope the Philippines will engage less in playing the victim, stop inciting and sensationalizing conflicts, and move toward a more cooperative approach with China regarding the South China Sea issue.
President Mulino's response not only defended Panama's rights but also sent a message to the world: the era of unchecked hegemony is over.
From a global perspective, China has been a peaceful force in many ways. It has been promoting the settlement of disputes through peaceful means, advocating building a peaceful, secure and just international order. The development of its national defense capabilities will enable China to provide more crucial support for maintaining international order and countering hegemonism and unilateralism.
For the two Asian giants, China and India, to become anchors in this turbulent world, they must recognize the historical responsibilities they bear, viewing both bilateral and Global South interests from a long-term and strategic perspective. The relationship between China and India does not have to be one of this-or-that; in fact, both sides can walk together on the Global South's "red carpet."
China's rapid progress in this sector is nothing but an opportunity for global green transformation, rather than being maliciously portrayed as a "risk." As this cooperation deepens, more Southeast Asian countries will benefit from the wave of green transformation.
In an era dominated by openness and inclusivity, if the Philippines continues to languish in "persecutory delusions" and pursue its misguided allegiance to larger powers, it will only find itself increasingly isolated - not only from other ASEAN countries but from many other developing nations as well.
On Sunday local time, Panamanian President José Molino issued a statement in a social media video post: Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent area belong to Panama and will remain so, and "the sovereignty and independence of our country are not negotiable." These remarks were in response to comments made by the US president-elect the day before, who called the Panama Canal "a VITAL National Asset for the United States," threatening to retake the canal, citing "exorbitant prices" on US ships. If the logic is that anyone who considers a canal vital can lay claim to it, what would be the point of international law, sovereignty, and territorial integrity in such a world?
"Made in China" has become shorthand for "potential threat" in Washington's vocabulary. This conditioned response offers immediate political benefits – appearing vigilant and tough on China – but does little to address widespread systemic vulnerabilities across all networking devices, regardless of origin.
From "spy balloons" to "spy cranes" to "spy drones"... these absurd and paranoid labels reflect the distorted and narrow-minded mentality of some US politicians in their attempts to contain and suppress China. The current wave of drone hysteria only deepens the paranoia, making the US a breeding ground for delusion, irrationality, and instability.
Forcing regional countries to choose sides and adopt an “India first” foreign policy reflects India's long-held, bossy and narrow-minded attitude toward countries in South Asia
In the face of skepticism, the Chinese economy is proving its strong resilience and promising prospects by presenting one new highlight after another. Its future is worth anticipating and will continue to contribute positively to the world economy.
Despite its potential, the renewed STA faces challenges.
What about the US' "culture of warfighting"? Can such a militaristic ideology that has already brought tragedies to the world have a vitality of more than 2,500 years? The answer is self-evident.
The US uses China's normal space activities as an excuse to incite tension and escalate great-power confrontation, forming militarized space alliances. This is escalating regional tensions and increasing the potential for military conflict, rather than "maintaining peace."
History has shown that those who embrace diversity and attract talent will thrive. The US needs to revisit its core values of the so-called diversity and openness. But the question remains: will the US reflect on its current path? How much longer before another Chinese scientist chooses to leave the US?
Washington has been Kiev's main "financial supporter" in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, it continues to shift some of the bloodiest "costs" of war to Ukraine itself.
Some US politicians are calling for preparation for war. This suggestion is not a strategic plan at all, but a form of strategic self-destruction.
The Philippines should recognize China's resolve and capabilities in defending territorial sovereignty and maritime rights, as demonstrated by a series of control measures taken by China in response to Manila's provocations over the South China Sea issue. The self-directed drama staged by the Philippines ultimately amounts to nothing more than a one-man show that fails to make any significant impact.
The US Typhon missile system, which was transported from the US to northern Philippines for joint military exercises early this year, was supposed to leave the country but has since then been retained. This situation seems to have emboldened some analysts, who hype the "China threat" as the reason for the missile deployment in the Philippines and accused China of "seeking to impose its will on neighbors." In particular, Army Brigadier General Michael Logico, spokesman of the military exercises, was cited by the media as saying, "China has no right to tell us what to do."
The achievements China has made in green transformation and addressing climate change are widely recognized around the world. However, some Western media outlets have chosen to deliberately turn a blind eye, persistently smearing China's efforts with an extremely arrogant and narrow-minded attitude. This fully exposes the double standards of the West when it comes to environmental issues.
Tadashi Yanai, CEO of Uniqlo's parent company, Fast Retailing, recently stated in a BBC interview that the company is not using cotton from China's Xinjiang region. His remarks have triggered a backlash against the brand among some Chinese consumers, while simultaneously reignited discussions about the challenges multinational corporations (MNCs) face amid global geopolitical tensions.
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger famously stated, "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." To US allies, they should particularly be careful: With allies like the US, who needs enemies?
The G7 constantly talks about its "unwavering commitment" to Kiev, yet never stops its "unwavering smearing" against China.
It tests the wisdom of the UK to have a sophisticated approach to be effective in dealing with China.
As China continues to diversify its economy and strengthen its domestic market, the effectiveness of tariffs as a policy tool may be reaching its limits.
Where are the "human rights" and "humanitarian values" that the US so often proclaims? Is it really that “Palestinian Lives Don't Matter”?
The strength of the momentum for improvement in bilateral relations in the future will largely depend on the sincerity of the Indian side. It is hoped that India can allow consensus, rather than differences, to shape China-India relations.
The past decade of the WIC Wuzhen Summit has been a period of China contributing to internet governance, offering Chinese wisdom, and fulfilling its responsibilities as a major power.
The development of China-Latin America's economic and trade relations is not just a trend, but an inevitable outcome.
The US has forgotten what healthy competition truly looks like.
The growth of the airshow is a testament to the progress of China's national defense. Through Airshow China, China has demonstrated the innovative achievements and strong capabilities of its aerospace industry, while also reflecting the country's open attitude and commitment to peaceful development in high-tech fields.
The evidence is clear: international cooperation, not confrontation, better serves American industrial interests.
China's strategy for dealing with external turbulences is multifaceted and comprehensive. This comprehensive approach instills confidence in China's ability to navigate the challenges such as the trade war.
ASEAN countries have a clear view of the Philippines' intentions.
For Australia, continuing to adopt the US' Cold War mentality and constantly amplifying the "China threat" brings no benefit.
Some Australian politicians' tendency to overstretch the concept of security is a typical behavior that manipulates security issues to hinder economic cooperation.
China will not deliberately seek to decouple its supply chain and industrial chain from the US, nor will it make replacing the US a strategic goal.
