There is growing alarm at the inexorable rise of China, both of its military prowess and its aggressive bullying of other countries plus its subjugation of whole portions of its own population. IMAGE: People's Liberation Army soldiers in Beijing. Photograph: Jason Lee/Reuters Under Chairman Xi Jinping, China has accelerated its militarisation, with constant remonstrations for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to modernise and to boost its loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Ominously, Xi spends a lot of time telling the populace to prepare for an all-out 'struggle'. At the same time, Xi has stamped his authority on every single aspect of Chinese society so as to control the thinking and behavior of his 1.4 billion subjects. There is growing fear among China's neighbors, and Western countries like the United States, that China will stoke a war. For now, the PLA is using 'gray zone' tactics, behavior short of armed struggle but which is nonetheless coercive ... » Learn More about Why the rise of China’s military worries the world

Strategy will consolidate nation's key role in global market, say experts China is seeking a new position in the global economy, aiming to simultaneously become a "world market" and a "world factory", which will consolidate its key role in the global market, with deeper integration into global society, according to top-level policy advisers. That is a blueprint not only for guiding this year's economic work, but also setting a basic principle for China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), indicating policymakers' determination to further open the domestic market. Legislators and political advisers will gather in Beijing this week to discuss the key issues of China's development at the annual sessions of the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. To achieve the goal, China will stabilize imports and expand exports, continually promote cross-border trade and investment and optimize the business environment ... » Learn More about Advisers: Dual circulation key to China’s development

US-China relations are going through hard times. The trade war declared by former US President Donald Trump against China and the coronavirus pandemic have hindered the plans of the two major countries regarding the further development of their economies and bilateral cooperation. This should be changed, as both societies deserve a respite. Perhaps it is dialogue that can eliminate the differences that have arisen between the two countries. It would be appropriate to recall the statement by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that "dialogue is the key to restoring Sino-American relations." The Chinese minister believes it is important for both countries to intensify dialogue and properly resolve their differences, as well as move in the same direction to resume mutually beneficial cooperation. It is difficult to say whether Beijing's appeal will resonate in Washington. They are too afraid of losing their status as world hegemon. Moreover, the more anti-Chinese hysteria on the ... » Learn More about China is offering peace. Will Washington listen?

BEIJING - China on Friday called on the United States to expand economic and trade cooperation while properly handling disputes with China on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. "Decoupling with China means decoupling with opportunities, the future and the world," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said when commenting on a US Chamber of Commerce report, which said US-China decoupling would result in losses for the United States worth hundreds of billions of dollars, crippling its major industries including aviation, semiconductors, chemicals and medical devices. Hua also made comments on US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's remarks that the United States will keep the tariffs imposed on China by the former administration in place for now. There have been voices of opposition within the United States against the trade war waged on China by the former administration, in the belief such practices cannot solve the country's own problems, but rather will ... » Learn More about China urges US to properly handle trade disputes for stable, sound ties

ATHENS - The Greek government is eager to continue cooperation with China in the post-pandemic era, as China has contributed significantly to Greece's economic recovery in recent years, Greek Minister of Development and Investments Adonis Georgiadis told Xinhua in a recent interview. The COVID-19 pandemic plunged the Greek economy into recession. The country has just started to recover after a severe decade-long debt crisis that pushed it to the brink of bankruptcy. Priorities and timetables in the government's plans have changed, as has happened across the world. As mass vaccinations have brought hope for an exit from the health crisis, Greece wants to return to the right track and resume its collaboration with China in many fields at full speed, the minister said. "We are eager to continue our plans and our follow-up of investments here in Greece and find ways to leave behind all this pandemic crisis and continue our lives," Georgiadis said, ahead of the "two sessions" in ... » Learn More about Greece eager to continue cooperation with China in post-pandemic era, says minister

The article reflects the author's opinions, and not necessarily the views of CGTN. The official announcement in Beijing on Thursday by President Xi Jinping proclaiming "complete victory" against extreme poverty was as bold as the feat itself. Equating the achievement to a "miracle" of historical significance, Xi declared that "the country has created a 'China example' of poverty reduction and made great contributions to global poverty alleviation." By reaching the milestone, China has contributed to the eradication of poverty in the world by 70 percent for the fact that the country has the largest population in the world. Further, this is also a landmark for the first goal of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which seeks to "end poverty by all its forms everywhere." Indeed, ... » Learn More about China changes the conversation on poverty alleviation

There is no conceivable reason for any big power to put road blocks on the path of an India-Pakistan normalisation process, asserts Ambassador M K Bhadrakumar. IMAGE: An Indian soldier keeps guard from a bunker near the border with Pakistan in Abdullian, southwest of Jammu. Photograph: Mukesh Gupta/Reuters The extraordinary joint statement ( external link ) last Friday at the level of the directors generals of military operations of India and Pakistan came like a bolt from the blue. Of course, it is preposterous to contemplate that the Indian Army went out on a limb without political directive, or that some 'grand bargain' involving India, China and Pakistan is unfolding. From such a premise, what needs to be understood is as regards the Indian calculus. The government is taking time to voice an official opinion on Friday's development even after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's tweets ( external link ) on Saturday.
