This tariff storm has torn apart all of Lai authorities' carefully crafted illusions and sounded the alarm for Taiwan society's awakening.

As more countries choose to stand on the right side of history, the implementation of the “two-state solution” is facing a new window of opportunity.

It remains to be seen how long the rift between the US and Brazil will persist. What is clear is that this shift has opened space for new forms of cooperation. From Brazil's perspective, China – not seeking confrontation or dominance – offers opportunities for stable, long?term partnerships cultivated in the spirit of win?win cooperation and shared development.

China is a major global player with significant, and ever-growing influence in the world's economy, social life and politics. Kenyan, and African students at large, with a high proficiency in Putonghua will have a competitive edge in the job market, particularly in fields related to trade, technology and international relations.

Attempts to label China's global competitiveness as state handouts ignore a deeper reality: The country's manufacturing strength is built not on subsidies, but on comprehensive and efficient industrial chains, intense domestic competition, and relentless innovation.

Only by facing history can we move toward the future.

To remain competitive globally, Europe should have the courage to make independent, fact-based judgments instead of dancing to the tune of US “security risk scare” tactics. Otherwise, what Europe truly risks is sacrificing its own industrial competitiveness and future development opportunities on the altar of someone else's political agenda.

It's really just a matter of how well our political processes are set up to get this kind of infrastructure built as quickly and efficiently as possible for taxpayers and residents of the state.

The true driver of peace is this deep economic integration.

For China-EU relations, aligning with the trends of the times and history, maintaining world peace, and promoting common development are the shared responsibilities of both sides.

The frequent overstretching of the concept of "national security" in academic circles and the malicious law enforcement reflect the anxiety and pathological mind-set of certain groups within the US facing China's rapid rise in the field of technological research and development.

All political clowns who betray the nation, sever history, and trample on conscience will eventually be reduced to ashes in the torrent of history.

To stabilize China-Japan relations, Japan must show genuine sincerity through concrete actions instead of fluctuating between provocation and cooperation.

In China, I saw a city designed around the needs of its citizens – technically advanced, intelligently structured – and that kind of urban planning could genuinely enrich the often piecemeal, incoherent and not particularly citizen-friendly city planning we see in Europe.

In Xizang, I saw the truth – and it was thriving. My main message is to visit Xizang and experience the contrast between fact and fiction: Canadian author

The US side should recognize the actual interests of the American people and businesses and meet China halfway, as this is also the common expectation of the international community.

The Taiwan Straits are not a “projection screen” for Britain's imperial nostalgia, a stage for some politicians to perform their political grandstanding, nor an arena for countries to show off their geopolitical relevance.

The Albanese government has taken a balanced approach: Stabilizing relations with China while maintaining its traditional alliance with the US. This is the policy of a country that realistically recognizes its geography, its economic interests and its responsibility to the region it inhabits.

The reason I decided to make the film about the Dalfram dispute was to produce something for peace, and my main goal was to tell this story so that nothing like this would ever happen again. I think we need to take a lesson from that. We need to really understand how to make peace between countries, says an Australian filmmaker

Asian countries must collectively emerge from the shadow of colonialism and rely on Asian wisdom to address Asian problems – free from external interference and misleading narratives.

We look forward to more countries joining the path of innovative cooperation and collaborative governance to create an inclusive, open, sustainable, fair, secure, and reliable digital and intelligent future for humanity.

The Global Times talked to Ulrike Guérot, a Berlin-based German political thinker, about the recently concluded China-EU Summit and her vision for the future of this bilateral relationship.

With utmost sincerity and firm principles, the Chinese side is ready to work with the US side, using the Sweden talks as an opportunity to deepen mutual understanding, build trust, reduce misjudgments and enhance cooperation.

This result reflects the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan's opposition to "Taiwan independence" and the support for the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations.

Global governance is undergoing a profound transformation. Power imbalances, the failure of multilateral institutions to adequately address 21st-century challenges, and growing discontent with the dominance of the Global North have paved the way for the emergence of new forces ready to reshape the world order - the Global South.

Seen in the context of the US' broader AI strategy, the AI Action Plan is an "overt scheme with hidden agendas."

In the context of the irreversible trend of exchanges between China and foreign countries, the marginal returns of making a fuss about the "China threat" and "risks of traveling to China" are increasingly diminishing.

The actual effect of the AI Action Plan is affected by a number of factors. Only time will tell how the plan will roll out.

We look forward to working with the EU side to expand the “cake” of common interests, countering the noise of “politicization” and “de-risking” with more pragmatic outcomes, and writing an even more splendid chapter in China-EU relations over the next 50 years.

For a country that repeatedly walks away from even the most foundational UN cultural body to accuse others of “power grabs” is the height of contradiction. The real issue is not whether China is stepping up to “fill the vacuum,” but the US' growing tendency to step back.

It is the legitimate right of Serbia to strengthen its own defense and to freely choose reliable partners, among which China ranks prominently. Serbia and China neither meddle in the affairs of other countries nor accept any form of interference in their policies and bilateral relations.

As a key advocate, supporter and contributor to UN reform, China is injecting both hope and momentum into building a stronger and more effective UN.

What struck me most was the novelty of everything – the feeling that you're in a part of the world still growing rapidly. It felt incredibly enterprising, full of people eager to try new things, develop products, build infrastructure and innovate intellectually, said a British scholar who traveled through China for a month. #JourneyThroughChina

Issuing tourist visas should be seen as a new starting point for the renewed flow of people-to-people exchanges between the two Eastern powers. It presents an opportunity for the people of both countries to rebuild mutual trust and should also serve as a catalyst for deepening cooperation in areas such as trade, technology, and education.

The US side described Philippine President Macros' visit as “beautiful.” However, it appears the outcomes for Manila are not so “beautiful,” delivering little in terms of substantive gains and leaving the Philippines disappointed.

I have seen how the country has transformed millions of lives through its development. But progress cannot be pursued in isolation. In a fragmented world, the 25th China-EU Summit must be an act of political courage – the beginning of a China-Europe pact for inclusive multilateralism, where cooperation prevails over confrontation.

China's rise is indeed something new, but it represents the emergence of an Eastern civilization that differs from Western society. To recognize and understand this civilization, one must have a basic understanding of significant archaeological discoveries.

Recently, international discussions on reviving trilateral cooperation among China, Russia and India have increased. What is the significance of such cooperation? Read what three Chinese experts have to say on this matter.

Restoring the original intent of humanitarian assistance, getting aid into Gaza quickly and efficiently and ensuring civilians receive them safely should be the top priority for all stakeholders. In the face of life and death, all political games and calculations must give way.

By brandishing his threatening “big stick” against Brazil, the US has inadvertently strengthened the very unity he sought to fracture. This approach mirrors the flaws of US global policy: Unable to prevent China's rise, the consolidation of BRICS, or the development of Latin America. In attempting to push Brazil – and the world – backward, it only accelerates history in the opposite direction.

Australia has a good grasp of its relationship with China and doesn't need outsiders peddling anxiety. Some Western politicians still believe that NATO's outdated playbook can work in the Asia-Pacific, even though the region has clearly moved on to a very different chapter. Trying to fan the flames might stir up a little dust, but disrupting the region's deep-rooted aspirations for peace and prosperity? That's a much harder task.

The commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of WWII is a solemn commitment to peace. The history of WWII and the post-war era warns us that only by upholding multilateralism and the correct historical view of WWII, and by deepening international cooperation, can we resist extremism and achieve human reconciliation and peace.

The Western narrative that China is “exploiting the West's aid cuts to expand its influence in Southeast Asia” is purely measuring others' corn by one's own bushel – a projection of zero-sum thinking.

The US is strategically using the Philippines for its geographic location, placing it at the forefront of the efforts to contain China. Tactically, Washington seeks to extract all possible value from Manila, including by using tariffs as leverage to fully open up the Philippine market.

Playing victim and blaming others plays well on the domestic political stage. But it is also the reason why the problems of the American political economy and social settlement can't be solved. To solve its problems, the US must own its problems. Blaming others via “China Shock” tropes is another symptom of a deep pathology of irresponsibility in the American body politic.

The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound.

The fabrication of “blue-background, white-text” reports must be met with severe punishment. For judicial bodies: this novel form of rumor-mongering designed to grab attention must be punished according to the law to set the record straight.

China and the EU naturally differ in social systems, cultures, and development levels; thus, it is inevitable that differences will arise. However, differences should not be seen as grounds for enmity, nor should they lead to confrontation.

China-Philippine cooperation in education once had a solid foundation, but it is now being severely undermined – primarily due to unilateral actions by the Philippine side. In light of China's latest overseas study alert, the Philippines needs to reflect on issues that go far beyond education.

If the Europe doesn't move toward a more equidistant position between the US and China, or simply a more positive relationship with China, but seeks a continuing close relationship with the US, on terms very much dictated by the US, this will mean a far more one-sided and unequal than was previously the case.

The Asia-Pacific region, which encompasses several major global economies, is the main engine of global economic growth and should continue to inject strong momentum into the resilience and innovation of global supply chains, rather than being pushed to the "crossroads" of camp confrontation, adding turbulence and crises to the world.

The Japanese government's message to domestic firms operating in Taiwan region that they'll be on their own if a crisis breaks out sounds less like a contingency plan and more like a blunt dose of realism: When real pressure hits, there's far less the government can do than what its slogans might lead people to believe.

More than 20 LAC countries have now become BRI partner countries. This widespread enthusiasm underscores the region's expectations for the development opportunities brought by the initiative, as well as hopes to improve local infrastructure, facilitate trade with Asia and enhance people-to-people exchanges with China.

It must be emphasized that bilateral trade should follow market rules and cannot be based on forced buying or selling. It is contradictory for the EU to complain that China buys too little while simultaneously blocking what it wants to sell.

Recently, a viral social media post lamenting the Philippines' seventh-place ranking in tourist arrivals among Southeast Asian nations has sparked introspection among Filipinos. Some analysts argue that the decline in tourism is closely linked to the ongoing tensions between the Philippines and China.

Excessive anxiety will not solve competitiveness issues. Only an open mindset and equal dialogue can help find the right partners and a real way out of today's economic challenges.

China has rejected the American way of “the Monroe Doctrine,” while explicitly supporting the establishment of SEANWFZ. Furthermore, China endorses ASEAN's independent efforts to build its own security mechanism. That's China's significant commitment and contribution to regional security.

The so-called “humanitarian city” risks further worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis and dashing hopes for a political solution to the Palestinian question. The key to breaking the deadlock in Gaza lies in steadfastly upholding and implementing the two-state solution.

What is being traded in is not just old appliances or vehicles for new air conditioners and cars, but a cleaner, more sustainable green future.

The true path to peace lies in respecting the core concerns of all parties and seeking balance through equitable dialogue, rather than fostering new conflicts through threats and sanctions.

The US announced Wednesday that about $4 billion in unspent federal funding for California's significantly delayed and overbudget high-speed rail project has been terminated.

The Chinese people have always cherished peace, and China will remain committed to the path of peaceful development.

With a positive and equal trade relationship, there is enormous potential for Australia and China to cooperate in many other areas.

Only by fully taking into account national realities and applying appropriate human rights standards accordingly can we truly advance the cause of human rights and create a virtuous cycle of mutual reinforcement.

Japan should seriously pursue regional coordination grounded in openness and cooperation.

While some remain stuck in a zero-sum mindset, the interconnected world outside has already moved on to the Next Level.

The Philippines must ask itself a serious question: Is it prepared to sacrifice its immediate economic interests and long-term political gains? And even if it does make such a sacrifice, will this really deliver the outcome the Philippines is hoping for?

When some American experts are still pondering how to "learn from China to beat China," they are destined to trap themselves in the maze of hegemony.

Jaishankar's visit holds significant importance for rebuilding mutual trust through cautious and pragmatic engagement.

Xinjiang is a land of hope, determination and action. Each conversation revealed dreams in motion, and each street corner whispered tales of perseverance.

We hope the Australian side will meet China halfway, follow the strategic consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, continue to deepen strategic trust, avoid disruptive factors, adhere to a mature and correct path, and neither hesitate nor deviate from course.

China's mid-year economic performance is more than just a set of numbers - it's a reaffirmation of the value of globalization itself.

"People-centered development must be carried out in urban construction, and cities must be built for the people." Urban development follows a natural and historical process governed by its own logic. "Respect the laws of urban development" - this is a fundamental approach advocated by Xi in guiding city development.

It is not hard to see that China and India currently share a notable consensus - the continued improvement of bilateral relations is both the right path and a beneficial one.

If the EU wants to work with China to promote a green future, then it should begin by removing its politicization lens and dismantling the unjust trade barriers against Chinese green products.

I think we are moving toward a more normal relationship - toward normalization.

China and Australia have a very good cooperative economic relationship, which is the foundation of much of our prosperity, and it's something to which we are deeply committed.

The organizers and participants of any performance need to respect and value the audience more and improve their viewing experience. This is what it means to jointly maintain the norms and integrity of the cultural consumption market.

The Pentagon should immediately correct its unpopular and misguided practices, cease all the wrong practice of interfering in the Taiwan Straits, and genuinely uphold peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region as a responsible major power.

In the seventh article of the "Scholars' Perspectives" column, Global Times talked to Evandro Menezes de Carvalho (Carvalho), professor of international law at the Federal Fluminense University, Brazil.

History has shown that tariff wars are reckless, unpopular, and unsustainable.

China-LAC cooperation in green development is rooted in the complementarity between LAC countries and China. In fact, a solid foundation for this cooperation already exists and can be further leveraged to advance green development and, in turn, strengthen existing mechanisms.

Since the end of June, Taiwan's regional leader Lai Ching-te launched a political campaign called the "10 lectures on unity," covering topics such as "nation," "constitutional system," "diplomacy," "democracy" and "prosperity." Although these talks are packaged under the banner of "unity" and touch on key political issues on the island, their true purpose is not to enhance Taiwan's competitiveness or cohesion. Rather, they are nothing more than a series of theatrical political performances and carefully choreographed power plays.

We hope the German side will also take this to heart, join hands with China to strengthen strategic dialogue and coordination, and inject more certainty into the world through the stability of China-Germany relations.

The UNCLOS dispute settlement mechanism 's future depends on a collective resolve to strengthen its foundations - fostering compliance, refining its processes and ensuring judicial restraint. By upholding and enhancing the UNCLOS dispute settlement mechanism, we can ensure they remain a realm of cooperation and peace rather than conflict and division.

"There are only different civilizations, no superior or inferior civilizations." Emphasizing the diversity of civilizations is the most fundamental characteristic of human society and an intrinsic driving force behind the world's move toward multipolarity and diversification.

Although the US has attempted to project an image of being a "better partner than China," in-ternational opinion remains skeptical about its prospects. After all, the deeply ingrained approach of "wooing when needed, abandoning when not" and "burning others to give themselves light" makes it challenging for the US to genuinely earn Africa's trust.

As the Global Civilization Initiative wins more responses around the world, civilization dialogue and exchange and mutual learning will further become a world trend and promote the continuous progress of human civilization.

Peace is not achieved by dominance or assimilation, nor is it the product of cultural relativism. It emerges from the recognition of difference, the resonance of ethical traditions and the shared effort to recover what it means to be human together. This is the deeper rationale behind China's initiative to safeguard the diversity of human civilizations.

The 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting is being held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from Tuesday to Friday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, making his first trip to the region, is also attending to highlight US commitment and the strength of US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with ASEAN "in delivering results for the American people and the people of Southeast Asia," according to US State Department spokesperson.

The Han Kuang-41 Exercise appears to have all the flashy elements, designed to impress and grab attention; yet, it is fundamentally incapable of changing the reality that the military power of the mainland is stronger than that of the Taiwan island. Furthermore, it cannot achieve the goal of "deterrence through asymmetric warfare" against the mainland.

“When the interests of the entire humanity are at stake, China must step forward, take action, and get the job done.” This is China's self-positioning and a solemn commitment to the international community.

Beijing has witnessed the unity of women worldwide and the remarkable achievements of China's women's development. It is hoped that through the global leaders' meeting, countries can join hands to refocus the world's attention on women's cause with constructive dialogue and cooperation, reigniting their solemn commitment to the Beijing Declaration

From farmland to coffee chain, the wild imagination fueling the “Chinese threat” narrative is clearly spinning out of control in the US. Using “national security” as a catch-all excuse is not making the US safer – it is pushing it deeper into prejudice, irrationality and isolation.

As China participates ever more deeply in the global community, its growth and innovation fuel not only national prosperity but also inspire worldwide trends. The tale of LEGO in China is one of an outside culture blending with local values — a living testament to how cross-cultural “brick-building” can foster mutual understanding, progress and a hopeful vision of a shared future, one colorful plate at a time

China has always stood on the right side of history and on the side of fairness and justice, advocating an equal and orderly world multi-polarization and inclusive economic globalization, promoting a world with a bright future of peace, security, prosperity and progress. Dialogue among civilizations is a bond of peace, a driving force for development and a bridge of friendship.

“I believe if we give the US more time, it would find that it really needs China's help here and there. China is really indispensable in almost every issue. China is a white elephant in every room.”

There is an expression in English: "on a slow boat to China," which metaphorically refers to a distant and lengthy journey. Today, the distance between China and Europe is no longer insurmountable, and misunderstandings and prejudices should not serve as barriers to mutual understanding.

The Indian military's recent remarks regarding China have been unsettling. Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen. Rahul R Singh said on July 4 that China used the four-day India-Pakistan conflict in May like a "live lab" to test various weapon systems and was providing all possible support to Islamabad, in line with its ancient military strategy of killing the adversary with a "borrowed knife." Meanwhile, according to Indian media reports, India's Ministry of Defense is set to launch a comprehensive review of military procurement to identify Chinese-origin components in equipment supplied to the armed forces and to assess vulnerabilities within the defense supply chain.

?Reducing dependence on the US, Canada exports LNG to Asia for the first time.

While reliance on the US alliance system will likely remain the cornerstone of Japan and South Korea's security and foreign policy for the foreseeable future, Washington's repeated overreach and hegemonic behavior have undeniably exposed fractures in these alliances. If this trajectory continues, it is only a matter of time before Tokyo and Seoul begin openly discussing the prospect of "de-Americanization."

The global community knows that US tariffs are more political theater than trade policy. Markets remain volatile, businesses delay investments and supply chains fragment - yet with no advantage to the US.

The continuous development of China's military power is a natural reflection of its rising comprehensive national strength, which is entirely aimed at safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and developmental interests, and it has never been about competing with anyone.

In essence, Anthony Albanese's “Australian way” is an expression of strategic autonomy. But why did his push for Australian independence trigger such a reaction? It reflects the entrenched habit of dependency among some Australian politicians on the US, to the extent that they seem to have lost the ability to assess Australia's own national interest, said a Chinese expert.

India has threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs on the US.

The “10 lectures on unity” are not only Lai Ching-te's separatist monology, but also a candid revelation of his desire to consolidate power and pursue “dictatorship.”

The strategic adjustment in China-EU relations is essentially a redefinition of role positioning, interest boundaries and cooperation rules by both sides. As long as China and Europe position each other as partners and stick to the bottom line of "win-win cooperation," they will be able to build a more mature, stable and balanced comprehensive strategic partnership.

BRICS is not “against” anything; it is “for”: for the development, for a fairer world order, and a larger role for the Global South. It concentrates on specific development problems, which makes BRICS very attractive to other developing countries, says Igor Makarov, an expert of the BRICS Expert Council-Russia.

This schizophrenic approach – militarizing one pole while abandoning science at the other – exposes a more profound truth: The ice caps are vanishing, the planet is burning, but Washington's vision remains frozen in last century's rivalries. Its focus remains on maintaining hegemonic power over the entire Earth.

The Rio Summit will mark a new starting point. Looking ahead, BRICS countries will continue to uphold the "BRICS spirit," deepen cooperation in various fields, promote reforms in the global governance system, and make greater contributions to world peace and development.

In this new context, both sides should tell the stories of their development and friendly cooperation, effectively counter and dismantle Western-centric discourse traps, increase investment to strengthen international communication systems and capacity building, and jointly forge a new coordinate for "Global South discourse."

The landslide re-election of the Labor Party this year has injected new momentum into the warming of China-Australia relations. Although in recent years, under the influence of politicians, the media and the security establishment, public discourse on China had grown increasingly hostile, recent polls now indicate a gradual reversal of this trend.

We hope the US will take concrete actions to uphold and implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their phone call, and work together to ensure the steady and long-term development of China-US economic and trade relations.

By opening its spiritual sanctuary to Indian believers with grandeur, China demonstrates its commitment to protecting diverse religious cultures and embodies the Eastern wisdom of “harmony in diversity.”

When the anchor of the Shandong aircraft carrier sinks into the waters of Hong Kong, it symbolizes the people of the SAR's appreciation for a peaceful and stable development environment and their trust in national strength.

The US is no longer a leader in free trade, but one of the greatest disruptors of the current international system. From mandating “100 percent American-made” flags to claiming that foreign-made boots threaten troop readiness, these political farces have become some of the most biting ironies of the country's professed commitment to free trade.

Without understanding the WWII history and the process behind the creation of the UN Charter, we cannot fully grasp why China emphasizes the idea of a shared future for mankind and insists on the principles of peace and development.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of #China in 1949, the country has made historic strides in development. What amazes me about the CPC's leadership is its ability to combine long-term development goals with pragmatic choices, learning from many countries and adapting these ideas to China's reality. This blend of strategic vision and practical wisdom constitutes the core strength of the CPC's leadership and a key driver of China's rapid progress.

From drones to artificial intelligence, from humanoid robots to quantum technology, and from new energy vehicles to domestically produced large aircraft, China's technological development is making steady progress and new quality productive forces are accelerating in their formation. We look forward to humanoid robots playing an important role in more fields in the near future, contributing more to the development of human society.

Within the US “Indo-Pacific Strategy,” the Quad is viewed as a key mechanism for establishing a regional containment framework intended to limit China's peaceful development. However, for the other three Quad members—Japan, Australia, and India—the Quad functions more as a diplomatic tool to enhance their influence in regional affairs rather than being entirely subordinate to Washington's strategic agenda.

Trade deficits aren't someone else's fault. The essence of trade has always been equivalent exchange. From the ancient times, when people exchanged pottery for salt, transactions have been based on the willingness of both parties.

What's truly exciting is how coffee, now more than ever, serves as a bridge – a place where cultures meet and mix. The next time a New Yorker picks up a Luckin cup, maybe they'll notice a subtle, lingering finish reminiscent of Yunnan's distinctive teas, connecting two worlds in a single sip. @dinggangchina

By 2049, on the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we will see China as an advanced socialist nation. People will be there to enjoy a society that is democratic, civilized, harmonious, strong and modern.

In a world rife with geopolitical turbulence and cyclical politics, the CPC operates as China's anchor institution. The institutional strength of the CPC gives domestic and international stakeholders a rare commodity today: predictability.

Lai talks a lot about “defense,” which seems glamorous but is, in fact, hypocritical – packaging dangerous political mobilization in lies. The people on the island want peace, not war mobilization; they want stability, not armed conflict. Deception will eventually be exposed, and the truth will come to light. Lai's lecture on “defense” is nothing more than a massive scam wrapped in political packaging.

Fireworks account for only a tiny fraction of the enormous volume of goods traded annually between China and the US, yet they are closely tied to people's everyday lives and to major political events like the Independence Day – truly a small detail that reflects a bigger picture.

According to a statement by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency of the US on June 30 local time, the US State Department has approved a $510 million arms sale plan to Israel.

Pop Mart's success – evolving from niche art toys to a publicly listed giant – is a signal of China's expanding creative influence. No longer just the world's factory, China is now a major exporter of stories, symbols and aesthetic confidence.

Against the backdrop of Belt and Road Cooperation, Xinjiang is embracing openness and actively integrating into the new landscape of China–Central Asia cooperation. Looking ahead, Xinjiang is poised to play an increasingly important role in promoting the steady and long-term development of China–Central Asia cooperation, contributing to new and remarkable achievements.

Under pressure on both economic and security fronts, Japan and South Korea are demonstrating increased strategic independence. Deepening cooperation with China offers them a way to expand diplomatic options, safeguard economic interests, and hedge against the risk from the US.

While the rare earth issue in China-EU relations is currently a “hot” topic, if handled well, it need not be a flashpoint. Instead, it could become a “bond” that brings the two sides closer.

Pacific nations are not anyone's “natural allies,” nor are they “obligated” to reciprocate simply because of financial input. They have their own judgment and development priorities. Cooperation is never a zero-sum game. “Being seen” does not mean others must disappear. What the South Pacific needs is not a war of labels, but more development.

In order to untie the knot between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and ultimately achieve peaceful reunification, a crucial step must be taken: breaking the DPP's long-standing brainwashing of the public. More people need to see through the truth behind the DPP's tactics, which have been carried forward since the days of Lee Teng-hui about 30 years ago.

Our principle is clear: All violations of the law will be investigated, and justice will be served — no matter how far the offenders have fled

This is not about who wins or loses but a test of humanity's respect for life, dignity and hope.

Lai's frantic antics have resulted in political chaos on the island; in fact, this is because he has deeply felt the unstoppable momentum toward reunification and is making a desperate struggle. The so-called “10 lectures on unity” is destined to become a failed one-man show.

It has been five years since the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law (NSL).

With its rising favorability in the world, we can observe positive interaction between China and the global community, the resonance of China's ideas, the wonderful charm of Chinese civilization and the increasingly broad Chinese path to modernization.

The five-year era of the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law marks a significant turning point, transitioning Hong Kong from a phase of social unrest and instability to one of restored order, governance reform and renewed development under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework.

Nepal can and should take advantage of this opportunity. Nepal can learn a great deal from Xizang's development models and technology applied since the topography, climate, culture and development challenges in the northern belt of Nepal are similar to those in Xizang.

Former Australian prime minister Paul Keating, respected for his exceptional ability to capture political essence in sharply concise observations, recently noted that China has built an economy, "with industrial breadth and depth that the US not only does not possess but cannot hope to emulate."

It is hoped that the US side will meet China halfway, fully implementing the important consensus and requirements from the June 5 phone call between the two heads of state, further leveraging the role of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism and bringing more positive expectations to the world.

The Middle East, a region scarred by decades of conflict, is once again teetering on the brink of catastrophe. As Gaza crumbles under Israeli bombardment and Iran faces escalating threats, US complicity in the bloodshed reveals a damning paradox at the heart of its global agenda.

The world looks forward to the SCO paving a new security path for the future of a multipolar world and economic globalization.

China has forged a "Chinese model" in the fight against drugs that can be emulated. This model is not only China's own way but also a part of the global drug control efforts.

Currently, the White House is filled with aggressive trade strategists, and it appears preoccupied with the trade deficit as though the US were a business, needing to make a dollar-profit on its international trade.

Lai turns the patriotic sentiments of the Taiwan people during the anti-Japanese movements into a tool for separatist propaganda.

Extending the CRVS Decade to 2030 is a declaration: Everyone counts. Data saves lives. Legal identity is a right, not a privilege.

Allocating 5 percent of GDP to military spending is a heavy burden for European countries, but it still falls far short of satisfying Washington's geopolitical appetite and will only make the US ask for more from Europe.

US arms groups are courting European partners to tap into the region's rising military spending.

South Korea and China, the central core countries of the global society, need to work closely together to maintain the banner of free trade and fair competition, which are essential for the sustainable shared prosperity of the global community.

Marking the 80th anniversary of the war's end is not a demand for privileged status on the world stage.

The emergence of China-Bangladesh-Pakistan cooperation marks a new phase in regional cooperation in South Asia.

Lai's performance of advocating division under the guise of so-called unity is destined to go against the trend and history.

The high-level commemorations of this victory demonstrate China's role as a stabilizing force for world peace.

The 9th China-South Asia Expo, held in Kunming, Southwest China's Yunnan Province, concluded on Tuesday. How does the expo boost cooperation among regional stakeholders?

Rattling sabers never help peace efforts - they only raise geopolitical tensions.

As turbulence clouds the global landscape and many question the future of globalization, the ever-growing China-Singapore relationship steadily charts a promising path forward.

Lai's desperate attempt to promote “unity” ironically reflects the DPP authorities' loss of the public's support and moral legitimacy.

The US' attempt to sever the supply chain through administrative means is gradually being undermined by the dual forces of market dynamics and technological progress.

The hard truth is that an alliance profiting from arms sales needs conflict zones - making NATO not a deterrent, but a designer of chaos.

We must remember that diplomacy is not weakness. It is civilization. Abandoning it is a regression to a world ruled by fear, not reason.

China's planning has become more flexible, and, to a considerable degree, it is indicative rather than prescriptive.

Hopefully, the parties involved, especially Israel, will implement an immediate cease-fire, ensure the safety of civilians and open dialogue and negotiation to restore peace and stability in the region.

The fentanyl crisis claims tens of thousands of American lives annually - a more direct and deadly threat than any external danger. As one of the world's wealthiest nations, the US' struggle to protect its citizens from drug harm deserves weighty introspection.

By bombing Iranian nuclear facilities, the US is destroying the fragile peace in the region.

Looking forward, South Korea-Japan relations may increasingly resemble what Lee has described as "neighbors sharing a front yard" - maintaining necessary cooperation while managing their differences.

The Europeans were caught unprepared by this sudden shift in American grand strategy. They have so far not yet been able to develop a coherent and credible strategic posture to deal with these new realities.

For much of the 20th century, the US persuaded the world that open, rules-based trade was good. Yet today Washington invokes a catch-all claim of “national security” to justify tariffs, export bans, and sanctions that make commerce resemble trench warfare.

Russian and Chinese scholars should work together to correct the historiography of WWII, which will help us fight attempts to falsify this war: Russian scholar

China and Central Asia are united by pragmatism, a desire for stability and a common rejection of a world divided into “blocs and fronts.” In the face of global turbulence, they are not betting on a struggle for dominance, but on mutual development and autonomous policies.

Like Alea der Bescheidene, lead singer of the German band Saltatio Mortis, who recently announced his arrival at the Shaolin Temple in China for a seclusion retreat, and French NBA star Victor Wembanyama who in recent days also settled for some off-season spiritual peace and strength at the same place, many young people in Europe and the US are showing a sincere and growing interest in Chinese culture. This interest goes far beyond a passing trend; it reflects a deep curiosity and respect for a civilization that is both ancient and continually evolving.
