Chinese economy remains resilient under worldwide downside pressure

He Weiwen

At the turn of the year, it can be assured that the Chinese economy will keep a solid pace of growth based on the strong economic fundamentals.

How Donald Trump is reshaping liberalism

Mike Cormack

The supporters of both parties demand ever stronger contrasts, ever stronger conflict, between them. Liberal America also wants its own satisfactions. In this as in so many ways, Trump will have a more abiding effect on the U.S. than his presidency deserves.

Economic 'cold war' in 2019

Timothy Kerswell

There are few signs that the Sino-U.S. trade war will end in the coming year. As a foreign policy, the trade war has bipartisan support in the United States. In what is otherwise an increasingly divided country, this is a remarkable thing.

China changed the world for the better in only 70 years

Andrew Korybko

The more that they talk to China, the more they realize that the country is an indispensable player for ensuring global development and stability, neither of which can happen without it nowadays. Far from being a "threat" to world peace, China is actually the key to it.

Western media may laud Greta Thunberg and provide extensive column inches to Extinction Rebellion but until there is greater global coordinated action and funding available then these will simply be shouts lost in the wind.

BRI & CIIE: China is further on the road to opening-up

Ji Xianbai

With the BRI advancing external integration with the world economy and the CIIE driving internal economic transition, China is indeed further and firmly on the road towards comprehensive reform and opening-up amid a remarkable "second revolution."

American obsession with China

James Rae

It would be a grave mistake to imagine these "human rights" laws are disconnected from the larger American strategic ambition to contain, constrain, or restrain China. They are political attempts to stir up instability inside China.

Since July, Shanghai has put in place a new garbage sorting rule that requires the separation of food waste, recyclables, hazardous waste and residual waste. This has affected the lives and daily routines of practically everyone in the city. I followed the garbage from the communities to transfer stations and all the way to processing plants.
