Since the beginning of this year, North Korea has adjusted its overall foreign policy. In the past two years, it adopted a confrontational approach toward the international community. But this year, it has apparently changed its stance. Pyongyang has not made any provocative moves and has constantly demonstrated goodwill.
Since the middle of 2017, China-Japan relations have been improving, but fundamental problems still exist and relations between the two countries remain uncertain.
US, British and French forces fired over 100 missiles at Syria last weekend, accomplishing a so-called "perfectly executed strike." During his visit to Peru, US Vice President Mike Pence said the US was "prepared to continue this effort until we are assured that chemical weapons will never be used again against innocent civilians in Syria."
In face of trade tensions increasingly stirred up by the United States, China has ample trade weapons loaded to return fire and protect its own interests whenever necessary, officials and economists have said.
Trade protectionism is beneficial to certain economies in the short term, but it is detrimental to the global market. Therefore, trade protectionism is a utilitarian manifestation that lacks a global trade perspective, and the 10-year crisis cycle also showed that trade protectionism slowed the process of global economic recovery.
The competitive mentality of the US and its pursuit of global dominance over China has partly driven the US President Donald Trump to reconsider joining the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)
As tensions over Sino-US trade ties become increasingly sharp, a tit-for-tat trade war between the world`s two largest economies is taking shape. The China-US relationship seemed promising during US President Donald Trump`s first year in office. Yet contradictions between the two suddenly escalated with the publication of Washington`s latest National Security Strategy and National Defense Strategy. What provoked the sharp turn? Where are the current trade conflict and Sino-US relations headed? G
India is pursuing rejuvenation of the nation. This goal can only be achieved through continuous reform and opening up, but it also requires an increased ability to adapt by resolving the impacts brought on by opening.
Who would be the involved parties of a trade war? The answer is quite simple - the US and China - not that others would not have a stake in such a conflict. But it would mainly be driven by the US and China. It is becoming dangerous as the US stance mixes geopolitical rivalry - to be managed by diplomats - and economic rivalry, which should be handled according to rules-based competition.
With economic tensions between China and the US escalating, the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) has opened, with an aim to promote Asian regional common development.
A trade war does not make economic sense, and it does not help solve the structural problems that US economy truly has. A much more plausible way to understand Trump`s trade war mentality is to see it as a political gamble rather than an economic move.
China is stronger now, but it never seeks hegemony or expansion. The country, as well as other emerging economies like India and Russia, just deserve right positions in global governance.
The US` proposed tariffs on Chinese goods, a typical unilateralist and protectionist move, will cause serious damage to businesses in both countries and will not work out.
The draconian measures being proposed now by the Trump administration, if implemented, would be disastrous for the American, as well as the world economy. It would be useful to find those projects where the US and China can work together on the “frontiers of science”.
American farmers, companies and workers will be attacked by Trump administration`s announced tariffs. While the Trump administration`s announced tariffs are negative for China, they are also seriously negative for the US.
The common rise of China and Russia is the rejuvenation of peace and cooperation. Reform is an important guarantor of peace and promoter of cooperation. Both countries are committed to promoting shared rejuvenation, a theme that accords with the national development priorities of many countries and coheres with their long-term interests. Yet one would be wrong to think of rejuvenation as a zero-sum game. Rather, it is a process of cooperation. Only joint reform can promote common rejuvenation.
The American Dream was beautiful, not only because the U.S. was the only superpower in the world, but also because it had an open mind to embrace immigrants. Now, the country is depriving people of their right to realize their dreams under a paranoid mode of power.
On Sunday, the annual Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) with the theme "an open and innovative Asia for a world of greater prosperity" will open in south China`s Hainan Province. Over the past two decades, the changing themes of the forum have reflected Asia`s evolving role in the world economy from a marginalized community to a helping hand and now to a growth leader.
US President Donald Trump said Thursday he had asked the US Trade Representative to consider slapping $100 billion worth of additional tariffs on China, a dramatic move that threatens to undermine the global trade system.
