Plundering oil and food in Syria makes U.S. a world robber
Facts have demonstrated that the U.S. has brought no peace to places it has invaded. It violates the sovereignty of other countries, plunders resources, and harms civilians for its global hegemony. It cares nothing about the "democracy" and "human rights" it has long advocated, and is becoming a world robber rather than the “world policeman.”

Neighbors' rapport crucial for 'Asian Century'
Yet simply by mentioning the "Asian Century", the top Indian diplomat has already earned some credit since it is recognition that the region should determine its own future and not be dragged into the geopolitical disruptions generated by Washington's "Indo-Pacific strategy", which is aimed at shoring up the US' regional hegemony.

Washington is to blame for tensions in Taiwan Straits
Days after U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to China's Taiwan region, to which China responded with countermeasures, Washington has been going all out to sling mud at Beijing for being "irresponsible," "overreacting" and "conducting provocative military action."

Joint communiques are the most reliable "guardrails" for China-U.S. relations
Despite China's repeated opposition, Washington is bent on starting formal trade talks with China's Taiwan region, sending a wrong and dangerous signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces. Behind the malicious move lies Washington's political intrigue of challenging the one-China principle and containing China by exploiting the Taiwan question, which is the most important and most sensitive issue at the very heart of China-U.S. relations.

U.S. breach of one-China principle undermines post-war int'l order
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's nasty visit to China's Taiwan region has violated China's sovereignty and interfered in China's internal affairs.

Where is Japan's defense policy heading?
Japanese media reported that Japan's prime minister and president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Fumio Kishida reshuffled the cabinet and the LDP leadership on August 10. Analysts said several cabinet members, including the defense minister, have been replaced, which indicates that Japan may change its defense policy by modifying the progressive approach left by Shinzo Abe.

Arms sales a clear breach of promise
Washington pays no heed to the fact that its arms sales have emboldened secessionists on the island, whose maneuvers aimed at securing the island's de facto "independence" have intensified the tensions across the Taiwan Straits. Shutting its eyes to the promise it made in the August 17 Communique, the US has placed its interest and strategic goal of containing the rise of China before honoring its pledge.

Double-dealing Washington: The world's greatest scourge
Days after Washington reiterated in a phone call with Beijing that it would adhere to the one-China policy and not support "Taiwan independence," U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi led a delegation to visit Taiwan.

Peace in Mali a long, hard journey
The latest attack epitomizes the worsening security situation in Mali in the past decade. In 2012, separatists controlled the northern part of the country and sparked the Mali crisis. Since then, terrorist forces have spread southward, subjecting the central and border regions to constant terrorist attacks, with particularly high risks in the capital city of Bamako.

US stirs up great-power competition in Africa
In the past few decades, the Kosovo war, the war in Afghanistan, and the war in Iraq launched by the US, as well as the Arab Spring initiated and joined by the US, have not only led to nightmares for the countries and people in these regions but also made the US itself fall into embarrassment. The US Africa strategy is of strong potential for "great-power competition" and Cold War mentality. African countries must be very scrupulous in terms of the willingness to join or the depth of involvement.

Relying on U.S. to seek "Taiwan independence" a dead end
Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is a malicious political provocation and a deviation from the political commitments made by the United States. Pelosi has long been distorting the truth on issues concerning China and sought to make political capital through anti-China efforts. She talks about "democracy" and "human rights," but all she cares about is her selfish agenda and business.

Who is changing the status quo in Taiwan Strait?
The historical ins and outs of the Taiwan question are crystal clear, and so are the facts and status quo that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same China. Upholding the one-China principle is the overarching guideline for keeping the Taiwan Strait peaceful and stable, and those who contravene this principle are the culprits responsible for the turmoil and turbulences across it.

Japan should go no further in whitewashing militarism
August 15 of 2022 marks the 77th anniversary of Japan’s announcement of unconditional surrender in World War II. 77 years ago, the progressive forces in the world defeated Japanese militarism and Fascism. But today, Japan is trying hard to whitewash its history of Asian aggression, turning a blind eye to the sufferings undergone by the people of victimized countries during the war.

Stay vigilant against Japan's "toxic textbook" on history
Monday marked the 77th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II. This year, some Japanese political leaders still brazenly visited the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, or sent offerings. Those moves have once again shown the Japanese side's erroneous attitude toward historical issues.

Historical backpedaling will only lead to dead end
Those who back-pedal on history will only drive into a dead end. The only way for Japan to find its right place in regional development is to face up to its mistakes, own up to its past crimes, learn lessons from history, respect the security concerns of its Asian neighbors, and stick to the road of peaceful development. If it is bent on going against the trend of the times, Japan will eventually fret in its own grease.

Japan should never whitewash its war past
Japan should never forget it still owes an explanation to its Asian neighbors for its actions in past decades. Instead of introspecting on its aggression during WWII, Tokyo keeps distorting and whitewashing its historical misdeeds and even acts as a "victim" because of the two atom bombs that were dropped on its territory to end the war in 1945.

More congressional visit to Taiwan, more forceful countermeasures
The one-China principle is the overwhelming consensus of the international community. It is also the political foundation of the US-China relations. US politicians, from whichever branch of its government, should behave themselves by refraining from further taking dangerous and provocative moves to infringe on China's sovereignty and security. It is unwise to test the will and capacity of a nation so determined and decided in safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Relying on external forces will achieve nothing for Taiwan's separatists
Standing on the high ground of upholding the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and international justice, the white paper, titled "The Taiwan Question and China's Reunification in the New Era," released on Wednesday, profoundly debunks the despicable political nature and sinister intention of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and external forces and issues a sharp warning to them.

Japan's plan to deploy missile under development reveals ambition to unleash military capacity
Japanese media reported that the Japanese government recently decided to deploy its anti-ship missile that is still under development in 2023, three years earlier than the planned 2026, a move that's interpreted as symbolizing Japan's accelerated steps to break the restrictions on its military development.

Complete reunification of China is an unstoppable trend, inevitable result
National reunification is an inevitable step toward national rejuvenation. We are ready to create vast space for peaceful reunification, but will leave no room for "Taiwan independence" separatist activities in any form. The Taiwan question is an internal affair that involves China's core interests and the Chinese people's national sentiments, and no external interference will be tolerated.

US military aid renders world in turmoil
The US military aid tends to deliver a hit to the US itself and bring wars and turmoil around the world. Almost every local war happening around the world today has been covered with the shadow of US military aid. Moreover, weapons aided by the US may get into terrorist organizations through a certain black market, increasing the risk of terrorism across the world.

Int'l community lauds white paper on Taiwan as China reaffirms position, resolution on reunification
The release of the white paper has attracted broad global attention. Many said that the white paper has set out the position and policies of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government to promote national reunification in the new era, shown the firm will and resolute determination to pursue national reunification, and demonstrated that the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits is a blessing for the international community and people around the world.

White paper on Taiwan question to pool strength for national reunification, rejuvenation
National reunification is an essential step toward national rejuvenation. The future of Taiwan lies in China's reunification, and the wellbeing of the people of Taiwan hinges on the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, an endeavor that bears on the future and destiny of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

US should brush up on Taiwan question
The historical ins and outs of the Taiwan question are crystal-clear, and so are the facts and status quo that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same China. We advise certain countries to brush up on their history lesson, abide by their written commitments, and truly apprehend the danger and risk of reneging on their commitments on the Taiwan question and backing and emboldening the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

G7 wrong to blame China on Pelosi trip
The G7 group of industrialized nations should criticize the United States as a troublemaker for allowing its top lawmaker, Nancy Pelosi, to provocatively visit China's Taiwan region, analysts say.

Consequences of Pelosi's Taiwan visit just begin to show
The minute Pelosi left the island, the PLA launched important military exercises and training activities around the Taiwan Island. Military experts pointed out four "firsts" about the exercises – closest to the island, besieging the island, setting a shooting range on the eastern side of the Taiwan Island, and firing missiles across the island – all for the first time.

Guiding Europe to 'rethink' on China-related issues
We attach importance to the China-France and China-Europe relations like we always do. Only by staying true to our original aspiration and making an independent and sober judgment on our own interests, can China-France and China- Europe relations continue to develop and correct the course when needed.

Sugarcoating can't legitimize AUKUS sub deal
While Washington has been behind a major nuclear weapon material trafficking deal before, the ongoing review conference in New York gives the international community a great opportunity to hold the three countries to account. No matter how far the conference goes in this regard, no country should sit idle watching the dirty tripartite nuclear submarine deal go on.

One-China principle clearly violated by trip
It's natural for China to feel angry and oppose the recent visit to Taiwan by United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, because the trip openly violates the one-China principle and challenges China's territorial integrity and sovereignty, experts said while explaining China's reaction and the severe countermeasures it has taken.

US politicians playing 'Taiwan card' biggest threat to regional stability
It is clear to all that her visit was intended to be a significant and provocative show of support for the secession-desiring Tsai Ing-wen administration on the island. The Democratic Progressive Party has written the pursuit of independence into its party program. Beijing is therefore fully justified in responding in a way that ensures the separatists know the risks they are running in trying to edge the island toward "independence".

To defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, PLA has resolve and capacity
"The exercises and training demonstrate the PLA's high combat spirit and robust fighting capacity, as well as its determination, approach and capacity to safeguard national unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity," said a military expert about the PLA Eastern Theater Command's largest-scale ever live-fire joint exercises and training around the Taiwan island.

US' one-China policy eroded by Pelosi visit
The visit last week by the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, to China's Taiwan region was another incremental action that erodes the one-China policy of the US, putting the China-US relations in an "extremely dangerous" state, political experts say.

Japan's 'sense of insecurity' is of its own making
Japan has disregarded the serious political commitments to China in the four political documents including the China-Japan Joint Communiqué, which is disloyal. Japan has given up diplomatic autonomy and completely followed in Washington's strategic footsteps, which is unwise. Japan has also failed to make a reflection and learn lessons from history, and instead, it has disregarded regional countries' expectations for peace and stability, which is unethical.
2022-08-08 09:37 -
Tsai has to face truth of the situation
The secessionist-minded Tsai Ing-wen administration of the island has to swallow the bitter truth that a siege of the island by the PLA would quickly make any attempt at secession futile as the island depends on external sources for almost all its energy and nearly 70 percent of the grains it consumes.

US using Taiwan card risks imperiling ties
The Taiwan question was a key subject of the talks. In recent years, thanks to the US' increased strategic competition with China, the Taiwan question has occupied front and center in bilateral relations. The US' strategy is to use the Taiwan question as a lever to counterbalance China.

Chinese experts unravel U.S. calculations in playing "Taiwan card"
The U.S. attempt to obstruct China's complete reunification and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation by playing the "Taiwan card" is doomed to fail, Chinese experts have said.

"Relying on US" a delusion, "seeking Taiwan independence" a dead end
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rogue visit to China's Taiwan region in disregard of China's strong opposition and stern representations is yet another dangerous provocation by the US to distort, obscure, and hollow out the one-China principle. It also fully exposes Tsai Ing-wen and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities' pernicious intent of colluding with external forces, willingly serving as a pawn, and relying on the US to seek "Taiwan independence".

Using Taiwan to contain China bound to fail
Looking through the past century, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China has neither backed down in the face of oppression and bullying by foreign powers nor given in to external interferences. Any attempt to obstruct China's complete reunification, delay or even block the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will only make the Chinese people more united.

Pelosi's evil intentions behind toxic Taiwan stunt
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan earlier this week despite Beijing's strong opposition and stern representations. Out of her self-interests, Pelosi staged such a pure political stunt. Insisting on going to the island, she apparently does not care about harming China-U.S. ties, or putting peace across the Taiwan Strait on the line.
