In the shadow of tragedy, Hong Kong holds its course

Xu Ying

Hong Kong is not defined by a single tragedy, but by how it responds to it. By choosing to proceed with the election while mobilizing an unprecedented accountability effort, the city shows that sorrow and determination can coexist.

HK elections signal good governance and renewed hope

Grenville Cross

As Hong Kong struggles to come to terms with its loss, the incoming Legislative Council will have heavy responsibilities. It must be composed of the best possible people, and those who are entitled to vote should do so on December 7. This will benefit everybody, including people affected by the inferno and requiring improved livelihoods.

Closer China-France ties are ever more important today

First Voice

The potential of President Macron's visit

Macron's visit could potentially represent a turning point. China's success and breakthroughs in many of the most advanced high-tech areas could be an inspiration for Europe.

China–France cooperation: Why Macron's visit matters more than ever

Macron's state visit to China is therefore far more than a bilateral engagement. It is an opportunity for two influential nations to chart a path toward openness, stability, and shared responsibility at a moment when the world urgently needs all three.

Macron's China visit: A strategic reaffirmation for a multipolar world

Macron's visit to China is a multifaceted diplomatic enterprise of global importance. It is an effort to steer the colossal ship of EU-China relations towards a future defined not by bloc-based confrontation, but by managed interdependence and strategic maturity.

Why China is furious over Japanese PM's remarks

The Taiwan question is at the core of China's core interests. While China has responded with reason and kept its door open for genuine friendship, any politician who betrays commitments and threatens regional peace must be held accountable.
