Cuba's struggle is a microcosm of the hegemonic behavior of the US in an attempt to control other countries through unilateral sanctions, but instead stand opposite to the majority in the world.
The Taiwan Straits is not a stage for any external forces to put on a political show. Any provocation and harm to China's sovereignty and security regarding the Taiwan question is firmly opposed.

Indulging in stirring troubles in the South China Sea just for the sake of obtaining “prominence” will only strengthen the world's negative impression of the Philippines.
In the South China Sea, China proactively carried out a wealth of public goods, ranging from meteorological services to environmental protection, transportation upgradation and maritime escort.

Is deployment of the Typhon missile system really "incredibly important" for the Philippines? To a large extent, the “defense bundle-up” that the US provides to the Philippines is akin to a dose of an addictive drug – Washington is attempting to shape the Philippines into a highly US-dependent country by instilling the delusion that it can effectively confront China. The longer the nation indulges itself in this fantasy, the more harmful such dependence will become.
In the face of the turmoil in the Middle East, the current US approach amounts to nothing more than that of a paperhanger. While Washington has advocated for de-escalation in both Gaza and now Lebanon, its efforts have primarily involved cajoling the warring parties and international community rather than taking concrete actions to enforce a ceasefire.
As the world's two largest economies, China and the US should set an example of cooperation on important issues such as fentanyl control and jointly safeguard global public health security.
The greatest strength lies in unity and collaboration.
The leaders of the G7 should realize that a lack of internal prosperity and development will only make their displays of strength appear superficial. Instead of pointing fingers at other countries, they would be better off spending more time addressing their own issues, which might help restore the G7's significantly diminished reputation.
The giant pandas have witnessed the improvement of China-US relations. In the future, we hope they will continue to serve as "ambassadors" of peace, friendship, and cultural exchanges between the two nations.

We need a paradigm shift in the approach to global security.
Western media have appeared to function under a consistent principle – whenever international affairs are at play, they are framed as a stage for major power rivalry. Unsurprisingly, the just-concluded ASEAN Summit was once again interpreted through the lens of US-China competition. This time, however, what was revealed was not US' diplomatic advantage, but rather its increasingly visible diplomatic predicament.
How exactly is the US all in on Africa? Now we have the answer: just as US president is about to leave office, he finally remembers to visit the continent. But wait, the visit is being postponed again.

As a regional power, India should respect Sri Lanka's sovereignty and the foreign development choices it makes based on its own interests. It should refrain from its hegemonic impulse to exert pressure on or interfere in Sri Lanka's external cooperation.
The West should reflect on its hypocrisy and double standards regarding environmental issues, stop backpedaling on climate matters, and start contributing to a green future for all humanity.

Recently, German naval vessels have been making dangerous maneuvers in the Asia-Pacific region, increasing regional security risks and sending the wrong signal to forces in the area that rely on non-regional powers to stir up troubles. However, by attempting to showcase its military presence in the Asia-Pacific, Germany is not earning international respect; instead, it reveals a loss of common sense and rationality, presenting an embarrassing image as a country that has lost its way.
It is the people of Ukraine who have paid the price for the US and UK's instigation of "let's just fight" with their lives, while the two countries, who continue to stoke the flames, are calculating the political and economic benefits they stand to gain.

Climate change requires all countries to collaborate in saving the planet.
Jane Wu's death is a great loss to the scientific research community. Yet, what it epitomizes more is a tragedy under the US' crooked tech suppression against China and anyone or anything related to that country.
Interfering with China's disputes with other countries or even China's domestic affairs has long been a tactic employed by the US and its allies.

For those companies that follow the US in containing China, it will be challenging to return once they lose the Chinese market.

Australia overcame "last-minute concerns to secure" the Pacific Policing Initiative (PPI) on Wednesday during the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) held in Tonga.

As the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing approaches, China-Africa relations have once again captured the attention of media worldwide.

Behind their eyes of surprise, skepticism and suspicion, lurks a sense of loss. So, why China?

The "golden age" when the West led globalization and profited the most, which these rioters seek to reclaim, is a romanticized illusion.

Behind the Philippines' audacity in the South China Sea is the US' constant encouragement of its allies to flex their muscles in the region to embolden the Philippines.

The so-called attention on the Global South, driven solely by geopolitical interests, is neither long-lasting nor sincere.
When the "pure-blood American flag" rises high, what people may see behind it is US nationalism and political anxiety. When US' dignity and values are so fragile that they need to be ensured by the place of origin of the flag they wave, it in itself reflects the decline of the US empire.
Under US influence, Europe is falling into a vortex of confrontation with Russia. Instead of building a more secure defense mechanism, Europe is now moving toward not only a more confrontational structure with military preparations, but also a strategic dilemma of growing insecurity.
Instead of putting too much emphasis on each other's strategic competitiveness, it is important to weaken the hostile emotions between China and India and make decisions more independently in the current geopolitical environment.

In the Arctic, where no trouble exists, the US busies itself with imagined concerns. The US' most skilled trick is to “cry wolf" in peaceful regions, especially when promoting the "China threat theory." The US' ultimate goal is to become the hegemonic power in every region of the world.
What does the US want via drafting document to defend Japan with nukes? The answer is pushing Japan to be the next battleground. Unfortunately, by promoting the joint document, Japan demonstrates its readiness to be considered a potential nuclear target due to its alliance with the US.

From Tuesday to Thursday, Japan will host the Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting. Prior to the meeting, Japanese media brought up China, stating that the Japanese government "intends to deepen its involvement in the Pacific Islands, a frontline of the US-China conflict." This inadvertently reveals Japan's motives for hosting the meeting: The so-called support for the Pacific Island countries is actually an attempt to impose the strategic intentions of the US and Japan onto them, trying to pull them into the US' Indo-Pacific Strategy.
A report published Thursday by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), an independent research organization, has garnered widespread global attention. It reveals the different goals and policy trends in China's and the US' global strategies.

China has an unwavering determination and sufficient means to defend its territorial sovereignty, and if the Philippines insists on staging a game of self-inflicted humiliation in the South China Sea, it is overestimating itself. The Philippines will gain nothing from provocation.
