Picture this. Someone tells you that if you invest 1 yuan ($0.15), you will harvest 100 trillion yuan after 100 years. This means that the yearly return is 38 percent, which is twice that of US investor and business tycoon Warren Buffet over the past 50 years. Given this scenario, would you invest? No one would have faith in this long-lasting and stable rate of return. But the Communist Party of China has done it.

Where has Americans' income gone? To answer this question, we need to look at the earnings of the biggest companies in the stock market. Apple, for example, was number one, with a net income of $57.4 billion in 2020, up from $14 billion in 2010. Of course, the growth of income of the senior executives at big companies and the big investors is even more startling. In January, The New York Times reported that "America's richest 10 percent, who own more than 80 percent of US stocks, have seen their wealth more than triple in 30 years, while the bottom 50 percent, relying on their day jobs in real markets to survive, had zero gains."

China is facing a more complicated, difficult and diversified external environment for its rise than any other emerging powers in history since the modernization of humanity. International society today witnesses world historical seismic shifts: climate change and ecology, fierce competition between major powers and fragile national security in the digital era. Combined with external moral restraints on China's willingness for peaceful development, all are resonating with each other, setting a chain of obstacles for the nation's rise.
Having passed through the turbulent torrents and navigated the dangerous shoals of 2020, the great river of history keeps roaring ahead in 2021, with tempestuous waves. Changes are accelerating as a host of global conundrums pile up, presenting harsh, unprecedented challenges for humanity.
This year will be critical for China-U.S. trade relations. At the center is a question: Will the Biden administration bring a substantive change to Trump’s hostile policy and cooperate with China to bring bilateral trade relations back to a stable development track?
Chinese President Xi Jinping solemnly declared "complete victory" in eradicating absolute poverty during a conference in Beijing on Thursday. China has lifted all rural poor people out of extreme poverty under the current standard, with 832 counties, 128,000 villages, and nearly 100 million impoverished people shaking off poverty. How did China make it? What does the role of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) play during the arduous process? Four foreign experts shared their views with the Global Times on China's successful poverty alleviation.
The UK has become a center of a new cold war with anti-China government activity. It has banned the TV broadcasting of China's English language CGTN network. It has overturned its previous decision to allow Huawei to participate in the development of the UK's 5G network. It has announced its intention to send an aircraft carrier to the South China Sea.

What general lessons can be drawn from it?
