At the same time, the “Exercise Trident Juncture 18,” NATO's largest military maneuver since the Cold War, is taking place from October 25 to November 7 in and around Norway.
Since drones were widely used to shot movies, filming China from the sky has become a fashion. Recently I watched Season 2 of China From Above, a documentary television series co-produced by China Intercontinental Communication Center, National Geographic Channel, NHNZ and Beach House Pictures, and got a new understanding of how to introduce China to the world.
This year is the 40th anniversary of China's entry into the era of “reform and opening up”. In the past four decades, China has grown from a dispensable and marginalized portion of the globe to the world second largest economy.
The first China International Import Expo starts to count down as it opens tomorrow with Chinese President Xi Jinping delivering remarks at the opening ceremony.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan started his first official visit to China Friday last week. The two nations signed 15 agreements on Saturday. Khan is also a guest of honor at the ongoing China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai.
Donald Trump has become the most daring president to challenge tradition among all US presidents and even in the world. He breaks the old order in an attempt to thoroughly revise rules which he believes are unreasonable and hasn't shown any sign of stopping.
The upcoming China International Import Expo (CIIE) starting on November in Shanghai will offer a historic opportunity for companies from all over the world to access China's vast market. Since China is the world's second largest importer and consumer market, the relationship between China's import and the development of the world economy becomes self-evident.

We visited the new Panama convention center that is under construction on a hot and humid October morning. China Construction America, a subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corp. Ltd. (CSCEC), is one of the two contracting companies for the project; the other is a local one.
Financial cooperation between China and Japan has seen unprecedented changes recently, which is a positive sign amid the current global trend toward unilateralism. It also raises the question about whether the bilateral financial cooperation is being forged by two sides coming to each other's aid in a time of crisis despite old grievances and enmities, or if it is a result of long-term planning and foresight.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pay an official visit to China from October 25 to 27, seven years after the Yoshihiko Noda's visit in 2011 and also the Japanese Prime Minister's official visit to China after seven years. According to previous reports, the topics under discussion between the two sides in this visit will be very broad. However, the author believes that the international cooperation between the “Belt and Road” and the third-party market is still worth paying close attention to.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is paying an official visit to China and is likely to express a positive attitude on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Since Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai came to China to attend the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation as Japan's representative last May, Japan has been positive on the BRI.

When it comes to foreign policy, US President Donald Trump makes himself look like Ronald Reagan, the president who helped the US win the Cold War. Many decision-makers in the White House also believe in the Reagan Doctrine. However, Trump recently announced that the US will pull out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty - the most important legacy of the Reagan administration. The treaty was signed when then Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev visited the US in December 1987.

I recently visited the Dominican Republic as part of a Chinese media delegation. In the Caribbean island country nearly 14,000 kilometers from China, the enthusiasm of locals to develop relations with China was palpable.
The decline of the US infrastructure in real terms is obvious to anyone with eyes to see. Our roads are filled with potholes, our railroads are slow and uncomfortable, (often dangerous), and our bridges are collapsing. But the cause is not, as President Donald Trump has been persuaded to believe, some "trade deficit" with China.
