Ding Gang: US and the hierarchy of civilizations
In 1876, the US Congress had a debate on the Chinese immigrants. One side thought the Chinese immigrants should be expelled from the US while the other side believed they needed to be "tamed" in keeping with God's request. They were united by the common refrain - Chinese are an inferior race. What divided them was the approach to this Asian people - whether the Chinese immigrants should be shunned or assimilated by an attempt to change them.

William Jones: China grows weary of the U.S. moving the goal posts on trade
The publication by China's Ministry of Commerce of the policy white paper “China's Position on the China-U.S. Economic and Trade Consultations” last week, coupled with China's Ministry of Commerce's research report on U.S. gains from bilateral trade cooperation on Thursday, are really China drawing a line in the sand, noting that their patience was running out with the continual shifts in U.S. policy in resolving the contentious trade negotiations. How many times have we seen the two sides approaching some type of agreement when suddenly President Donald Trump, or one of his advisers, makes some remarks about issues that remain unresolved and throws everything into turmoil?

William Jones: Despite a trade agreement, Trump threatens Mexico with new tariffs
U.S. President Trump seems almost obsessed with his newfound ability to get his way using tariffs as a weapon. Concerned with the continued flow of migrants on the U.S. border with Mexico, which he blames on Mexico's rather limited ability to prevent migrants from coming through their country to the U.S. border, he is now threatening Mexico with a five percent tariff starting on June 10.

Over 200 years ago, British colonists began to march into Nepal, with China's Tibet their next target. But the era of Western expansion starting from 500 years ago is gone forever.

He Weiwen: How Trump's Extreme Pressure on China is Backfiring
US President Donald Trump said recently on Twitter that Huawei could be part of a potential trade deal. In other words, America’s recent outright ban on Huawei was not truly done for national security reasons — there was no evidence supporting the allegations — but rather as a bargaining chip to help get “a great deal” with China.

He Weiwen: Trade conflict suggests hard times ahead
The escalating China-US trade friction is unprecedented in the history of bilateral relations. True, when trade begins, trade friction begins, too. And the history of China-US relations since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1979 has been a history of bilateral trade frictions. But the trade frictions in the 1980s were relatively small and less damaging.
