On my flight from Beijing to Los Angeles, I watched US Vice President Mike Pence's speech on China policy and felt a chill that reminded me of the Cold War. But when I walked out of the airport, a tender breeze alleviated that uneasy feeling.

Last week at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., U.S. Vice President Mike Pence delivered the Trump administration’s first major policy speech on China. The speech was highly anticipated in both the United States and China because of its significance and the context in which it was delivered. Indeed, the Trump administration, since it took over in January 2017, has been criticized (rightly) for lacking a coherent China policy or even any China policy.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's Asia trip was aimed at promoting the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. He conducted a short "shuttle diplomacy" in Japan, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the Republic of Korea (ROK) and China.

At a time when Washington seems to want to add pressure on Beijing, whether it can continue to cooperate with the Chinese authorities on the DPRK n
Since the establishment of International Monetary Fund (IMF), it has been the main pillar in international economy. Its most important function is to provide necessary financial aid or loans to weaker economies, mainly in developing countries to support various projects. Most of these loans have played positive roles in favor of the receiving nations.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo kicked off his fourth trip to the DPRK this year on Oct. 7. How would the US and the DPRK restart the deadlocked denuclearization negotiations? That is the main focus of international attention.

A full-blown trade war between the two largest economies in the world is already in place with the most recent round of tariffs, with the United States imposing another $200 billion worth on Chinese goods and China retaliating with a $60 billion round on U.S. goods. Various analysts and commentators have hotly debated who will win the trade war and the impa
Erupting in September 2008, the global financial crisis has lasted a decade. After the crisis, the worldwide trend of surplus production capacity and inadequate demand could not be reversed and the world economy has remained sluggish, leading to significant changes in the world and creating serious social problems. We need to analyze the root causes and lessons of the crisis so as to better address any likely new crisis.
US Vice-President Mike Pence delivered a speech on Thursday in which he criticized China on multiple fronts. Among other things, Pence accused China of meddling in the US' midterm elections in a bid to undermine the Donald Trump administration. Some have claimed his speech indicates the start of a new "Cold War". What does the speech mean for bilateral ties? Three experts share their views with China Daily's Liu Jianna. Excerpts follow:
Many observers expect the meeting in Beijing between the top diplomats of China and the US to quell tensions amid an escalating trade war and frequent military skirmishes. However, it seems their hopes have fallen through since the talks commenced with deep grievances that leave little room for compromise.
China fully supports the EU's proposal to set up a "special payments system" to facilitate trade with Iran and safeguard the Iranian nuclear deal, a move experts say will reduce reliance on the US dollar in global trade and further isolate it from the international community.

The Republic of Macedonia held a non-binding referendum on September 30 to decide whether to change the name of the constitutional state – which has been used since its independence in 1991 – to the "Republic of North Macedonia". Preliminary results released on October 1 showed that 90 percent of voters said "yes", but the turnout was below 50 percent and the referendum may be invalid.

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on Friday for stronger actions to defend multilateralism in his speech at the General Debate of the unfolding United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Amid all the unfair tariffs and false accusations made by the US to attack China, one claim has been particularly irritating: Western countries have continually accused China of requiring transfer of technology in return for access to its market. The US government has repeated this lie many times to make it sound like the truth. However, it is the Western countries that invented the idea of using technology to gain access to other markets.
US President Donald Trump's address at the 73rd UN General Assembly (UNGA) has shocked the world again. Trump put it bluntly, "We reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism." But UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres once said that multilateralism was more vital than ever to tackling dramatic global challenges. French President Emmanuel Macron also addressed the assembly and warned without multilateralism global wars would return.
The trade row between the US and China escalated as the Trump administration imposed new 10 percent tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports, effective Monday. From the new year, this round of US tariffs will be increased to 25 percent.
