Martin Jacques: One year later, nightmare of Capitol Insurrection still haunts hearts and minds of a divided people
January 6 will be the first anniversary of the Insurrection. Several thousand Americans from all over the country marched on Capitol Hill, the seat of American democracy, intent on occupying the building and preventing the confirmation of Joe Biden as the country's president. It had been long in the planning. Donald Trump spoke to the insurgents before they began their march, assuring them that he would be there to meet them at Capitol Hill. Steve Bannon, formerly one of Trump's closest aides, was intimately involved in the planning. It was an attempted coup d'etat in the heartland of Western democracy. It shocked a nation that had already begun to fear the worst about the future of its democracy as, prior to the election, Trump refused to say that, if defeated, he would honor the result. He was true to his silence. When the result was announced Trump refused to accept it. To this day he continues to claim that he, not Biden, won, and the election had been stolen.

Zhao Minghao: Biden's first year ends with a more divided US
Nearly a year into his administration, US President Joe Biden's promise to "heal" the US in his inaugural address, delivered on January 20, has not been realized. The Capitol riot on January 6, together with a deep divide in the US economy and society, are still lingering in the Biden administration. The 117th US Congress shows an intensified neo-tribalism in the US society. Besides political infightings with Republicans, Biden has to struggle with some members in his own party, the Democratic Party.
