a Washington-based NGO released a report criticizing the reaction of Chinese troop to the turmoil of South Sudan in July 2016. The report brought the deadly attack against the UN Peace Keeping Operation (PKO), which left two Chinese PKO soldiers dead and five wounded, back to the debates, as well as China`s role in peace and security operations in Africa.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the US, exchanges of people from the two countries have increasingly deepened, forming the basis of the Sino-US relations. Even after a recent furious row between the two sides, caused by the South China Sea conflicts, this basis has not changed and continues to consolidate, forming an important foundation for us to judge the trajectory of Sino-US relations.
When the world`s media covered the news, they had all kinds of perspectives. But the fact is clear, Prachanda is no longer an idealist, but has become a realistic politician. Nepal will make more efforts in its balancing act, especially between China and India. But in the meantime, it will be hard for Kathmandu to get rid of its dependence on India politically, economically and culturally.
Democracy could enable a country to elect a well-informed and competent leader in a merit-based way. But now the relative decline of the US is embodied in the low quality of presidential candidates.
The confrontation between China and the US over the South China Sea issue has constrained bilateral ties from deepening. But the issue is far from the entire Sino-US relationship. At a broader global and regional level, there are plenty of opportunities for the two to boost ties.

If some issues cannot be resolved for now, we should set them aside, as the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping argued. As long as we stick to treating development as a priority and hold on to reaching common prosperity, we will eventually figure out the right way and the right timing to solve the puzzles.
China’s economic policy is not about running a university class but about guiding the world’s second-largest economy on which the fate of 1.3 billion people depends. The adoption by China of theoretically false economic positions such as “state bad, private good” would under all circumstances be damaging. Given the present global conditions, the damage would likely to be particularly rapid and severe.
China needs to learn the lessons these things teach. The Chinese government must keep contact with both Myanmar`s government and people. Beijing should also increase guidance for non-governmental organizations abroad and student exchanges to promote people-to-people exchanges and boost the friendship between the two sides.
Mutual distrust between China and South Korea prevented effective communication of real intentions,leading to the current bout of cold relations between the two.
As Chinese enterprises began to construct railways, roads, and bridges, and set up steel, garment and chip factories in Africa, and when Chinese textile workers taught local African workers how to use sewing machines, Chinese values have gradually permeated in Africa. The differences of the two systems have resulted in deep thought.

The system is designed to monitor the enemy`s ballistic missiles, in order to intercept and shoot down missiles. THAAD is only a defense system, but in war, the best offense needs the best defense behind it.
Tension in the South China Sea does not necessarily mean an impasse. If think tanks and political circles of both China and the United States could realize the importance of disparities management and control, frank strategic dialogues, prudent thinking, and consensus seeking, along with the proceeding of substantial academic exchange, would have a positive effect on the South China Sea tensions and U.S.-China relationship.
Strengthened communication and common interests contribute to fostering a sound partnership between China and the European Union, according to scholars and experts attending an event dubbed the Belt & Road Initiative and EU-China Partnership, in Beijing on Saturday.
The international community has been looking for a new engine to accelerate economic development, which is why many countries have pinned their hopes on this year`s Asia-Europe Meeting, which takes place on July 15 and 16 in the People`s Republic of Mongolia.
