The China-Cambodia friendship, cultivated by the older generation of leaders of both countries, has stood the test of the changing international landscape.

When I saw this region with my own eyes, had my own experiences, received firsthand information and was able to talk to local people, I became aware of the extent of the misinformation and lies spread by the Western media.

I have faith in the common sense of the ordinary American people. Therefore, I'm optimistic about the long term.

As President Xi stated, despite changes in the international situation, China-Russia relations will proceed with ease, which will help each other's development and revitalization, and inject stability and positive energy into international relations.

On the geopolitical stage, sometimes 1+1 doesn't equal 2. In the end, both Japan and the Philippines will end up losing.

The main challenge facing the US in technological competition is not a lack of free market competition or decline in domestic innovation capacity. Instead, it lies in the flawed strategy of attempting to protect its competitiveness by blocking Chinese companies and their investment.

This is a strong practice of China's proposal of a community with a shared future for mankind and a maritime community with a shared future.

US proposed to impose restrictive measures on China's maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors

Only by looking at China-India relations beyond bilateral differences, border disputes and other sensitive issues, and creating conditions for normal exchanges between the two countries, can we find a way for China and India to get along as they should.

The pendulum of history never swings in favor of closure and confrontation; openness and win-win cooperation are the way forward. The USTR has set aside a month to gather public opinions, we're hoping that this consultation does not become a mere "stage play" manipulated by Washington's politics.

Recently, a People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy fleet conducted far-sea combat training exercises in the Pacific Ocean. During the exercises, the Chinese side organized live-fire training after issuing repeated safety notices in advance. These actions fully comply with international law and customary international practices and pose no threat to aviation safety.

By upholding true multilateralism, promoting consultation and contribution for shared benefit, and advancing a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, all parties can strengthen their ability to tackle challenges and pursue development with solid steps.

It was the US and the West in general provoking the situation. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is a tragedy that should have never started, says a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel

We hope Washington will make the right choice and meet China halfway, taking concrete actions to inject new vitality into China-US economic and trade relations while contributing to global stability.

In the face of both internal and external challenges, enhancing cooperation with China is a viable option for Germany to address its current difficulties.

As Chinese enterprises venture abroad, they not only strengthen themselves but also bring greater benefits to the world.

A path of disengagement and hostility will only lead to economic instability, technological fragmentation and a missed opportunity to address global challenges.

The US must now change its security strategy and begin taking into account the security of its adversaries. In this new world, the West will fragment as the Europeans are no longer a partner for collective hegemony.

On the marathon track of technological innovation, China is confidently contributing to the advancement of the world economy and human civilization.

The Philippines is once again staging a clumsy political show regarding the South China Sea issue.

China and Europe can establish cooperative schemes or mechanisms for AI development through dialogue and negotiation, including technological collaboration.

I believe the best way to show the world the real China is through cultural exchange programs and opening up further to tourism.

In a world increasingly driven by AI, competing with China isn't just about building better tools or writing better algorithms.

US tariff threat on autos has triggered concerns in the industry.

The US has been taking petty actions regarding China's red line, and its stubborn adherence to the wrong policy of "using the island of Taiwan to contain China" is tantamount to playing with fire.

Global security is a matter for multilateral negotiation, not for hegemonial saber-rattling, provocations and escalation.

A multipolar world is emerging and it is unstoppable.

Telecom fraud is a common challenge facing China and Southeast Asian countries. The cooperative model between China, Myanmar and Thailand provides valuable insights for other Southeast Asian nations and offers useful lessons for global security governance.

Differences in values have shaken the foundations of U.-Europe relations.

"A lot of people were really surprised by how modern Xizang looks and everything that's going on there," said the American.

In a favorable environment where institutional guarantees continue to strengthen, innovative momentum accelerates, and market space expands, private enterprises will surely navigate the waves in the blue ocean of high-quality development.

For those forces in the West who remain wary of China's enhanced cooperation with Pacific Island countries, it is essential to consider how to provide meaningful support to these regional nations instead of perpetually creating unnecessary “competition for influence.”

The consequences of the DPP blindly "relying on" and "flattering" the US have already become evident, and TSMC is the best example.

The problems of telecommunication fraud, illegal online gambling and other cybercrimes have posed a serious threat to China and Southeast Asian countries.

In this transformative world, further cooperation between China and Europe will be beneficial in building a more equitable and reasonable international order, jointly crafting a new narrative for a multipolar world.

The suspicion that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co may become "USSMC" is continuing to grow.

Why do the premiers and their hand-chosen advisers pay attention to Washington's think tank experts while ignoring Canada's own nonpartisan scholars? Is it because many reach the opposite conclusion of the Washington establishment narrative on "friends and enemies"?

Europe is undergoing perhaps the most difficult period since the end of the Cold War.

Over the past thousand years, the sentiment of "China and Thailand are one family" has been deeply rooted in the hearts and souls of the Thai and Chinese peoples.

While challenges remain, Ne Zha 2 will prove that cultural exchange in the 21st century is not about imposing one's values but finding common ground through shared stories.

The Munich Security Conference shows that the future of international relations will be defined not by a single sovereign power, but by a complex and dynamic interplay of states, regions and institutions navigating the challenges and opportunities of a multipolar world.

The phone call between the US and Russian leaders has a positive side, indicating a possible de-escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, this does not guarantee that a compromise will be reached in the short term, as the Ukraine crisis involves complex geopolitical and security interests.

Viewing China as an "economic enemy" will not only fail to solve Canada's current problems but will also leave it in a more passive position on the international stage.

Should we continue to rely on the hegemony of computing power to build technological barriers, or should we strive for common prosperity through inclusive cooperation? China's answer is to promote innovation through open-source initiatives and seek development through inclusivity. As China integrates into the global technology network with a humble and open attitude, the world becomes more vibrant due to the convergence of diverse forces.

From infrastructure construction to focusing on modernization and cutting-edge technology, the "sour grapes" narrative of foreign media cannot conceal the fruitful outcomes of China-Africa cooperation. While the West is busy weaving lies, China and Africa have already woven a network of development and illuminated an autonomous future with technology, writing a new chapter of unity and development for the Global South.

The Global North, represented by G7 countries, have worked together to preserve their interests at the expense of the Global South, but they do not wish to admit it. The Global South collectively represent the majority of the people in the world, who belong to emerging economies, who demand fair and equal treatment.

The Chinese animated epic Ne Zha 2 hit 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion) at the box office on Thursday, entering the top 20 of global box office rankings and marking a historic milestone. The Global Times gathered reviews from several viewers who attended the film's premieres in the US and Australia. They shared their thoughts on the film, the development of the Chinese animation industry, and their expectations for China-US film cooperation and cultural exchanges.

CMSA unveils official names for spacesuits and lunar vehicle in China's manned moon mission

The fate of USAID ultimately concerns the US itself; merely bringing China into the issue will not solve America's own problems. From the recent performances of some individuals in the US, the world has gained a clearer understanding: The "vacuum" that truly needs to be filled is not geopolitical maneuvering, but rather the responsibilities and commitments in global governance.

The term "Avocado Freedom" described the ability to buy avocados without worrying about the price - a luxury that now feels out of reach for many.

The US has not made any contributions to resolving the Russia-Ukraine war; instead, it has exploited the situation for its own benefits. Ukraine's rare earth resources and the Europe's arms orders have all become targets for US exploitation.

The year 2025 is poised to be challenging for India's foreign policy. One of the key tasks of the Modi government will be to uphold India's interests under the US pressures while avoiding diplomatic conflicts. It remains to be seen whether the Modi government will compromise further under tariff pressures, as some countries have, or take a firm stand against the US' tariff intimidation.

A rapid expansion of BRICS on the global stage is to be expected. Africa, a sleeping giant, is about to wake up and find solutions among other key developing nations.

What China seeks is the win-win result of China-EU trade. Overall, the question is not what Europe should do to stop more imports from China. Rather, the question is what Europe can do with China to solve the problems and find a way toward shared prosperity.

Hopefully more audiences around the world will come to love "Little Ne Zha," who embodies youthful spirit and passion. We also expect "Little Ne Zha" to reach broader horizons, supported by the film's high quality and the positive word-of-mouth from global audiences. Furthermore, we anticipate seeing more outstanding products that serve as a bridge for communication between cultures and enrich people's pursuit of a better life.

Tracing back to its origins, the changes of family are closely related to every individual. They not only reflect social changes, but also shape the appearance of the family and the country. Although contemporary Chinese families have undergone tremendous changes, some of their underlying principles remain unchanged. Between "change" and "unchange," you can get a glimpse of its trajectory

Protectionism leads nowhere, and trade and tariff wars have no winners.

The underlying logic behind this proposal is straightforward: In the emerging multipolar world, does the Philippines have a distinct place, or will it continue to serve as a pawn for other countries?

As the world celebrates alongside China, the Spring Festival offers a timeless message: Regardless of our origins, we are all part of a global family. Recognizing this holiday as a celebration for the world honors not only its cultural significance but also the universal values that bind us all. At its heart, the Spring Festival is a celebration of home, country and the universal desire for connection - a holiday that truly belongs to everyone.

With a long history, Hehe culture is the essence of traditional Chinese culture. As early as the pre-Qin period (221BC-206BC), ancient Chinese sages viewed and addressed the relationships between all things through the idea that harmony is a "common good," forming a series of theoretical perspectives on "Hehe."

Originally, the Philippines had no major external security threats, but it has managed to turn itself into one of the most insecure regional countries, becoming a pawn in geopolitical games. This Southeast Asian country seems to be trapped in a dangerous historical misalignment, with Manila entrusting national security to the military presence of ill-intentioned external forces.

According to the Korea Times, since January, some supporters of the impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol have held rallies every Friday evening along Myeongdong Street in central Seoul to stir up anti-China sentiment by spreading rumors about China's alleged involvement in election fraud.

The first Spring Festival since its designation as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage has been celebrated by festivities nationwide, with "experiencing the Spring Festival in China" being a highlight.

The future of AI requires both clear rules like "traffic lights," and collaborative efforts, akin to "sharing racetrack." We hope that the Paris summit will open a new chapter in global AI cooperation, shaping a globally recognized governance framework for AI, making contribute to the construction and improvement of a community with a shared future for mankind in the digital and intelligent age.

DeepSeek has emerged as a captivating topic of discussion in the global AI community. This small team of fewer than 140 people has achieved what even some tech giants struggle to accomplish.

Foreign tourists said they felt safer in China than in France or the Netherlands, despite Dutch government warnings about pickpockets, theft and Chinese people using force to exact payment for expensive guide services.

In today's deeply integrated, globalized world, the West should abandon this outdated mind-set and promote effective global cooperation. The priority for Western politicians should not be to amplify the "China threat" rhetoric but to reflect on their own policies and seek new pathways for cooperation with other nations.

Ishiba's visit to the US demonstrates a test of Japan's ability to carve out space to survive in the game between China and the US. Japan should adopt a pragmatic approach to advancing dialogue with China and avoid fueling bloc confrontation by siding with the US against China. Only by adhering to open cooperation can Japan break free from zero-sum constraints and contribute to regional and global stability.

My country needs to resume an agenda that puts Argentina itself at the center of decision-making.

Recently, the Philippines has been leveraging external partnerships to heighten tensions in the South China Sea. After the joint air patrol, it conducted a multilateral maritime cooperative activity. These military "ensembles," presented in the name of demonstrating security commitments and maintaining the rules-based order, resemble an orchestrated display of military posturing — with dangerous sparks repeatedly ignited by Manila flickering within.

The Harbin Asian Winter Games, using ice and snow as a medium, will build a bridge for mutual learning among civilizations, witnessing another "mutual journey" for deepening exchanges and enhancing friendship between the people of China and the world.

The economic and trade ties between China and the US cannot be severed by a mere executive order; only through joint cooperation can consumers on both sides of the Pacific share the benefits of trade.

Who is truly creating the "monsters" that are disrupting peace in the South China Sea? With the backing of “small circles” such as the Squad, the Philippines has become a bolder troublemaker in the South China Sea, like “a vine with growing toxic thorns.” Perhaps what the “S” in “Squad” truly stands for is “sabotage” and “strife.”

If we have sovereignty, we can make our own decisions, and we can get rid of whatever we don't want. When it comes to the canal, that's something that is so much part of the fabric of the Panamanian people. Anything that you say negative about the canal prompts us to defend it. We are growing into making decisions and learning how to collectively determine our destiny.

The US attempt of using the Panama Canal as a pretext to pressure Panama into distancing itself from China not only lays bare Washington's persistent hegemonic mind-set but also highlights its well-worn strategy of using "diplomatic and economic leverage" to serve its own interests. If Washington's grand talk of a “golden age of the Americas” is merely a rebranded excuse for US meddling – where the “golden age” serves only America, without the “s” – then it's doubtful that the people of Latin America will embrace it.

Just as Ne Zha reshaped the laws of the three realms with the power of the Primordial Pearl in the film, Chinese cinema is also constructing a new industrial landscape through the dual spiral gene of “technology + culture.”

The reality of Xinjiang and its ethnic groups is not genocide but increasing prosperity and modernity. Any problems in ethnic relations are dwarfed by the palpable progress visible to any unbiased observer who visits Xinjiang!

Connecting love for the family with love for the country, blending the dream of family with the Chinese Dream, uniting as one, harmonizing as a community, the wisdom and passion of 1.4 billion people and more than 400 million families form the immense strength that advances Chinese modernization.

The Philippines' smear tactics against "Chinese spies” are hardly novel; they are not only an old trick used by the US but also highlight how the Philippines' current policy toward China is slipping into an impulsive and irrational abyss. Manila should recognize that the "China threat" narrative cannot solve practical problems, but instead will inflict irreparable damage to the bilateral cultural and economic ties between China and the Philippines.

Using 20th-century geopolitical methods to address the technological revolution of the 21st century will only cause the US to miss valuable development opportunities. Whether it focuses on blockades and encirclements or seeks new ways to stand out from the competition will lead to entirely different outcomes.

The game will ultimately demonstrate that hegemonism's arrogance and misjudgment of reality will continually undermine Washington's foundational path of strategic development.

The US is expected to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday.

Spring Festival in China is so much more than anything we in the West can relate to. This year will be my 19th in China. Now, I'm proud to call China home and never more pleased to be here than at the Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival.

2025 will be a year of geopolitical turmoil. What lies ahead may be the US' continued attempt to maintain a unipolar world against the tide of multipolarity. The gloves are off, and it will be up to the major capitals of the Global South to contain the adventurism of the US Deep State and its vassals.

This year's Spring Festival once again brought together families across China in a heartwarming display of tradition and togetherness. As I look back on the holidays, I am reminded of the countless stories of reunion, resilience and joy that define this special time of year.

In recent years, the US has frequently accused China of being the main source of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals and blamed China for its domestic fentanyl crisis. On the evening of February 1 (EST), the US even announced an additional 10 percent tariff on imports from China, using issues such as fentanyl as a pretext. Such views and action of the US politicians will not help solve the problem but only cause severe damage to the multilateral trading system.

The multilateral trading system, embodied by the World Trade Organization (WTO), serves as the cornerstone of international trade activities, with the core mission of promoting the free flow of trade globally. WTO principles and disciplines constitute a core code of conduct for WTO members. The second Trump administration believes that fentanyl poses a severe threat to American society and wishes to have domestic challenges resolved by other countries who, under US pressure, would intensify their enforcement efforts. However, such unilateral trade coercion violates WTO rules and disciplines, thus constituting the incorrect way to solve the problem.

For many Chinese, the heart of the Spring Festival lies in family reunion. This year, what makes the festival more special is that the Spring Festival has been inscribed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This gives the Chinese festival a global connotation. The Global Times selects the opinions of some foreign experts to share their experiences and understanding of the Spring Festival.

China and Cambodia are staunch friends and a community with a shared future. They are also members of the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization family." China and Cambodia are companions in maintaining peace and stability, doers in promoting common development, and pioneers in jointly building a beautiful homeland.

I'm so excited that the world is changing and getting a lot smaller. It started with US "TikTok refugees" joining Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media networking and e-commerce platform known in English as RedNote.

May the cultural spirit embodied in the Spring Festival become a force that inspires and unites the world in the new year; this is our shared blessing and hope.

The mutually beneficial demands between China and the US are entering a phase of concentrated growth, and both sides should value this important window for cooperation.

Today, every major economy, other than the US, prefers to deepen its trade ties and resolve its trade policy differences within the framework of trade multilateralism and the four corners of treaty law – and, if need be, consensually build out that framework.

This Spring Festival, the first after being designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, conveys to the world the aspirations and beginnings of continuous self-transcendence.

Touhid Hossain, Adviser for Foreign Affairs of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, visited China from Tuesday to Friday, marking his first trip abroad since assuming office. Some believe that his visit underscores Bangladesh's commitment to China-Bangladesh relations. Despite changes in Bangladesh's domestic political landscape, the country remains determined to continue developing bilateral ties with China.

For a superpower capable of spending billions of dollars to support wars, the $2.8 billion owed to the UN seems to be an insignificant figure. The selective attitude reflects the US' stance on international rules: It supports those that serve its own interests while shirking the responsibilities befitting its great power status.

Today's China is no longer just the "world's factory" or "a giant market for the world's companies;" it is increasingly becoming the "world's research-and-development laboratory."

As the world enters 2025, what major trends in global dynamics, politics, and economic development can we anticipate in this year? Global Times, in collaboration with renowned experts and scholars from both China and abroad, has selected 10 key words for our readers' reference

In the face of a world filled with intertwined changes and turmoil, countries need to take proactive actions to jointly maintain peace, stability, and prosperity in our shared home. China will always play an important role as a pillar in this endeavor.

A sharp rise in European defense spending may not necessarily benefit Europe's security. Paying more “protection fees” to the US may not help promote European defense integration but could exacerbate the unequal relationship between Europe and the US.

Canada will 'respond robustly' if Trump imposes 'unfair tariffs,' says PM Trudeau

When the US abuses national security in economic affairs, it is creating disruptions to global economic exchanges and global supply chains, which are contrary to even its own interests.

What if we calculate the accounts based on the businesses run by US entrepreneurs? The logic of the China-US trade story might not align with Washington's imagined scenario.

The US attempts to share the cost of competing with China through the alliance and partnership system, but is unwilling to contribute money and efforts to multilateral mechanisms. This situation is a reflection of its decline in power.

The future belongs to new flexible, inclusive mechanisms rather than to old, rigid hierarchical blocks. Ultimately, Western politicians and analysts have good reason to be concerned, not about BRICS, but about the future of their own stiff and inflexible institutions.

It's expected that the US can join forces with China and the rest of the world in combating climate change, rather than backtracking its climate commitments. Washington should understand that when the rest of the world suffers from climate change, the US won't be spared.

There is an expectation that the new US government will truly abandon the "zero-sum game" and Cold War mentality, deepening practical cooperation with China and creating a new starting point for mutually beneficial China-US relations.

ASEAN is a family. When a family faces a problem, it is unwise for one member to turn to external parties for “help.” Doing so only exacerbates the situation, escalating tensions and undermining internal cohesion.

In Canada's case, I think it was very short-sighted for the government to essentially sign up for this new American cold war. The smart thing, or at least the obvious thing, for Canada to do is to say it needs to diversify its trading partners so that it can't be economically blackmailed.

TikTok's plight is not an isolated case but rather a microcosm of the US market environment, where similar incidents continue to occur.

In the future, China will enhance law enforcement cooperation with ASEAN countries, resolutely combat cross-border illegal activities such as telecom fraud, online gambling, and human trafficking, jointly address social ills like online gambling and scams, safeguard the safety of people's lives and property, and build a closer regional community with a shared future for security.

Most Western reporters lack a real understanding of Xizang, China, and they seem to be repeating claims made by people who have no direct experience.

Is America really a champion of free and open trade? For America's most recent presidents, listening to reason is apparently considered a sign of weakness; as a result, errors made today are again repeated tomorrow.

The relationship between China and Vietnam is about more than politics or economics. It's about building a future where both nations – and the region as a whole – can thrive. In a time when the world often feels divided and uncertain, their partnership reminds us of what can be achieved through cooperation and shared goals.

Now, before the new term of the US president, there has already been a round of positive exchanges between China and the US. We look forward to greater progress at this new starting point under the guidance of head-of-state diplomacy, achieving mutual success, common prosperity, benefiting both countries, and contributing to the world.

China is seen as a pillar of multilateralism and a country with high legitimacy on the international stage. This explains why most respondents expect China to encourage Global South countries to jointly safeguard world peace, protect the diversity of civilizations and promote economic cooperation.

On Friday, the Global Times learned from a source that during discussions with their American counterparts, China's diplomats on cyber affairs firmly rejected the US accusations against China regarding the individual cases such as "Salt Typhoon" and "Volt Typhoon" in the absence of evidence.

China's diplomatic approach that stems from "Hehe" culture is not just a frame of advocacy. As an ontology it paints a dramatically different picture of not just the nature of the world, but the possibilities and the role of humanity and state agency in enabling the ongoing pursuit of harmony.

As the Joe Biden administration comes to an end, Donald Trump prepares to begin his second term as US president on Monday. During Biden's presidency, India was one of the countries that the US stepped up efforts to woo, and the direction of US-India relationship in the near future is generating a lot of attention.

China's economy remains stable and continues to achieve breakthroughs and advancements.

Looking ahead, although the Israel-Palestine peace process is difficult, the international community should continue to be unswerving to support it, and this goal deserves and requires joint efforts and high expectations of all parties.

The hope of the China-US relationship lies in the people, its foundation is in our societies, its future depends on the youth, and its vitality comes from exchanges at subnational levels.

The planned first joint coast guard training exercises between Quad countries are widely regarded as another strategic move by the bloc aimed at containing China, rather than merely a multilateral maritime law enforcement initiative. It further underscores how the Quad has evolved into a political instrument for the US in its so-called great power competition.

In a world of rising uncertainty and volatility, the best thing that China and Europe can do is working together so that stability and prosperity will prevail.

By allowing the US, one of the belligerent or quasi-belligerent powers, to pre-position missile systems in its territory, the Philippines has turned itself into a direct participant and a magnet for retaliatory or preemptive strikes: Philippine scholar

It is necessary to recognize that China-Europe economic and trade cooperation is characterized by complementary advantages and mutual benefits.

To what extent should Australia achieve its strategic autonomy and truly serve its own interests? Is the vision of the Asia-Pacific in the US blueprint the future Australia wants?

What the last 10 years have taught us is how external events can change and how governments react to them. However, we need to have a sensible and resilient relationship.

The Spring Festival travel rush in China kicked off on Tuesday.

Strong ties between Hungary and China demonstrate that a reciprocally advantageous economic and political partnership can be achieved, serving as a model for strengthening Europe's strategic autonomy and competitiveness in its engagement with China.

Given the signs about China's new trade data, Washington's strategic decision-makers should recognize the diminishing effectiveness of their repeated "attacks" on Chinese manufacturing and their effort to restructure their supply chains.

The sense of anxiety in Washington is not caused by China, but rather by itself.

The Spring Festival travel rush is not merely an emotional connection for the Chinese people; it also reflects China's cultural soft power and international influence.

The EU says the US is acting against its own interests with blocks on AI chips.

As the fires rage on, the long-term challenges loom large. Does the current US establishment really care about Americans at all?

It is hoped that the new US administration will adopt a China policy that genuinely reflects the desires of the American public and the international community.

A combination of enhanced political mutual trust, economic benefits and deepening of cultural ties has contributed to a more positive evaluation of China and the relationship between the two countries among the Malaysian people.

A key step is for Japan to adjust its perception of China and adopt a more positive and friendly policy toward China. We hope the resumption of the China-Japan ruling party dialogue mechanism will bring more stability to the bilateral relationship.

In the new year, despite facing various uncertainties, China's foreign trade, and indeed the Chinese economy, have consistently achieved new accomplishments by overcoming difficulties, repeatedly bringing “surprises” and “exceeding expectations” to the world.

Americans are suffering because the country has lost the ability to unite and transcend divisions in times of crisis. To make a shift, the US must champion cooperation.

The Starmer administration must continue to work to eliminate third-party influences in pursuit of an independent and autonomous policy toward China.

The results of a recent Global Times survey suggest that the US misinformation war has failed to penetrate much of the developing world.

China's Hehe culture offers a unique perspective on the country. Rooted in ideals of harmony, peace, co-existence and balance, it emphasizes cooperation rather than confrontation.

The two approaches – market-oriented and government-led – vividly illustrate the differences of China and the US in responding to their natural disasters. Despite the differences, both Chinese and US systems must ultimately be evaluated based on their adherence to the shared principle of "putting people at the center." #CaliforniaWildfires #XizangEarthquake

The efforts of China and the UK to engage in dialogue in a pragmatic spirit have opened a window of confidence for further turnaround and stability of bilateral relations in the future.

A pragmatic approach is likely to yield more tangible benefits for Sri Lanka.

In 2025, global uncertainties are likely to increase rather than diminish, and the challenges facing China and Europe will undoubtedly grow more formidable. The crux lies in how both sides can redefine their positions and rationally manage their relationship.

Political clash shadows the US' emergency response.

As China's status as a major country continues to rise, it will further unify the Global South around a shared development consensus, contribute more "Chinese solutions" to global governance, create greater "Chinese momentum" for global development and growth and offer more "Chinese opportunities" for the global market.

In keeping with a 35-year-long unbroken tradition, where China's foreign minister's first official visit at the beginning of a new year is to countries on the African continent, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has paid a visit to Africa.

In an era of globalization, fostering the prosperity and development of the global technology industry requires a steadfast commitment to open cooperation and mutual benefit.

Who the real "monster" is - intending to disrupt the South China Sea and create turmoil - is obvious.

The US' attempt to leverage membership fees to impose hegemonic demands and manipulate sports fairness has clearly backfired. This time, it has hit a brick wall.

The US has developed a formulaic approach to smear China on cyberattack topics: no technical details, no investigative reports, and no credible evidence.

Hopefully, the current controversy with the US president-elect will make more Canadians realize the dangers of such unconditional support and demand that their government change course.

While some long-established powers in the world desperately try to hold on to the power and privileges they have enjoyed, seeking to restrain the development of China and other emerging economies, the goals of harmony and common prosperity remain at the heart of China's quest for a socialist future.

We have every reason to believe that everything will get better in the region and the expectation is highly consistent in Chinese society.

In the tense context of global geopolitics, the positive trends of connectivity between China, Japan and South Korea serve as a vivid example.

China's parcel delivery industry reached a milestone

Modi administration has already begun to adjust its policies toward China and Russia to mitigate the potential impacts of the incoming Trump administration. Ultimately, Sullivan's visit may become a "thing of the past."

Whoever becomes the next Canadian leader will have an opportunity to salvage the China-Canada legacy of friendly relations. Further engagement with the Asian giant in trade, educational exchanges and tourism would bring enormous economic, academic and social benefits to Canadians.

The very act of the Pentagon creating this list under the pretext of "military involvement" embodies a hegemonic mindset that aims to prohibit technological achievements from supporting the development of China's national defense.

The inner momentum of China-Africa relations will always stand the test of times and drive the relations deeper and further.

Pentagon Labels More Chinese Companies as Military in Nature

Building a community with a shared future for mankind is a grand and systematic undertaking. It needs to be advanced in a planned, focused and effective manner. Looking to the future, China will continue to unwaveringly promote mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation with other countries and unremittingly push for new achievements in the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

As BRICS evolves, the high-quality development of "greater BRICS cooperation" is expected to contribute to the shared goal of building a community with a shared future for humanity.

I appreciate that China emphasizes multilateralism over unilateralism, as we need more cooperation, not isolation or confrontation. I think these ideas from China are a good contribution to such a way of thinking.

It is hoped that some European politicians can set aside their biases against Chinese cars and create conditions for mutual success between Chinese and European automotive companies in their competition and cooperation.

The rhetoric of the US valuing its allies seems even more hypocritical in light of its recent rejection of Japan's Nippon Steel's purchase of US Steel.

China is truly focused on its aim of enhancing mutual learning among different cultures.

Biden administration's 'steel wall' redefines economic nationalism

On the other side of the spectrum, China has gradually introduced its own relationship with the world, a model based on the principle and concept of "harmonious coexistence."

Tesla's "report card" serves as a mirror, reflecting China's status as "an important engine of global economic growth" from both production and market perspectives, while showcasing the solid fundamentals and positive development prospects of the Chinese economy.

The Biden administration's move reinforces a growing perception that the US is prioritizing its own economic security over the interests of its partners. This could strain alliances and push countries like Japan, as well as EU members, to seek closer economic ties with other nations.

China will undoubtedly have more and more partners, and the international order will steadily move toward a more just and reasonable direction, contributing greater strength to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and to the maintenance of world peace and security.

The US and the Philippines are also confronting credibility challenges. ASEAN countries doubt the US' enduring dedication to the area, considering its past tendency of erratic involvement.

US tech war against China backfires

Just how safe is America? Unfortunately, the country must again ask that question in light of a domestic terrorism incident, this one in New Orleans, Louisiana where a US citizen killed at least 14 people and injured dozens more after ramming the truck he was driving into a New Year's celebration unfolding in the city, and a suicide that could have turned into a similar incident had it taken innocent lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
