William Jones: China Will Maintain a Steady Course in a Challenging Time

China has begun the annual “two sessions” of its national legislature and top political consulative body in a very unsettled global environment. The Russian military action in Ukraine as well as the massive sanctions regime imposed by the West on Russia, a major producer of the world’s energy supply, has created a challenging environment for any country to make plans for the future. Nevertheless, in his government work report, which traditionally begins the legislative period, Premier Li Keqiang expressed confidence that China would remain on a course of stable development. This is also the year for the convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) which will determine the leadership team going forward and lay out the blueprint perhaps for the next decade or longer.

Dong Shaopeng: West's 'absurd' sanctions on Russian people, animals mocked as venting of ager

The scale of sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis has been expanding into sports, culture and even education, which usually hold politically neutral stances.

Vijay Prashad: Russian invasion of Ukraine sparking more outrage than any other war

Surprise and horror have defined the reaction to the Russian military intervention in Ukraine. That's likely because although the intervention has followed the contours of a modern land war, it has also marked a break with the past in a number of ways. The world has become used to military interventions by the United States. This is, however, not a U.S. intervention. That in itself is a surprise - one that has befuddled reporters and pundits alike.
