Meng Wanzhou has returned to the motherland. This is a landmark event which carries significance for China's integration with the world and the international order.

On September 15, 2021, the heads of government of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States announced the formation of AUKUS, "a new enhanced trilateral security partnership" between these three countries.

WASHINGTON’S foreign policy is driven by the US industrial-military complex, a leading Chinese commentator said today, warning of an impending arms race triggered by a recent security pact.
With 678,000 deaths and rising, Covid-19 is now the deadliest epidemic ever to hit the United States, surpassing the death toll of the 1918 flu, and indeed the combined US military deaths in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf Wars and the Afghanistan War.

China has taken unprecedented action to cut emissions, report says
The irony speaks for itself. The US, where the unabated COVID-19 pandemic has claimed more lives in the country than the 1918 flu pandemic, and being accused as the world's biggest hoarder of surplus COVID-19 vaccines, sought to set a course for global vaccine allocation on Wednesday.

China has taken unprecedented action to cut emissions, report says
China's "dual carbon" target will make it the most efficient country in the world in reduction of carbon emissions, an official mentioned on Wednesday, which marks the one-year anniversary of China's proposal to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
The goal of China's carbon neutrality means that China aims to take the shortest time span in history to achieve the world's fastest carbon emission reduction, despite being the world's largest developing country. Compared with other developed countries, such as the US, Europe, and Japan, China's per capita GDP and per capita emissions at peak carbon emissions would be at a level lower than those countries when they achieve peak carbon emissions. This will bring about broad and profound economic and social systemic transformations. These need our great endeavors.

The world stands at a critical juncture of the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries that lack the first round of vaccine coverage are extraordinarily vulnerable to the highly infectious Delta variant, and are also seedbeds for new variants that could quickly spread worldwide. The Lancet COVID-19 Commission, which I chair, is working urgently with the United Nations system to strengthen the multilateral response. Governments of countries where vaccines are being produced – the United States, European Union members, the United Kingdom, India, Russia, and China – need to cooperate under UN leadership to ensure that a sufficient supply of vaccine doses reaches the poorest countries.
