When Politics Trumps Facts

正The world gets tired of the U.S. ‘Wuhan lab leak' claim ‘They(the U.S.) have been saying that for almost a year. If there is real evidence, then it's the responsibility of the U.S. to share it," Marion Koopmans, a top virologist, told the BBC on May 27, when asked about her opinion on a recent U.S. report claiming it was "plausible" that the coronavirus had been leaked from a Wuhan lab.     

America Can Lead Again,But in a Different Way

On his first day in office,Antony Blinken,newly appointed U.S.secretary of state,could not wait to claim the return of U.S.leadership on the international stage."America's leadership is needed around the world,and we will provide it,"he said.Over the past four years,Democrats have repeatedly emphasized the word"leadership"as a counterattack against the policy of the Donald Trump administration.President Joe Biden has also said the United States is back and prepared to lead the world.     

Carbon Neutrality in the New U.S.-China Future

正In U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry's visit to Tianjin, China, in early September and his discussions with China's Special Envoy for Climate Change Xie Zhenhua, we can see a welcome movement toward the better(old) days of cooperation in areas the two countries could agree on. The old official bridges were partially "deconstructed" and that self-inflicted damage was shouldered by the American people. Now, the U.S. can finally see what it produced: precisely nothing of value.     

Flip-Flop on Climate Change

正Biden’s ambitious carbon reduction plan is easier said than done ‘What makes climate change difficult is that it is not an instantaneous catastrophic event," former U.S. President Barack Obama said during an interview in 2016."It’s a slow-moving issue that, on a day-to-day basis, people don’t experience and don’t see." He stressed that the aftermath is "terrifying."     

邓小平对中国现代化战略的理论构建

新时期现代化战略理论是由邓小平提出的。从现代化战略内涵外延看,用“社会主义现代化”替代“工业化”、“四化”,极大地丰富了现代化内容;从战略目标步骤看,分“两步走”实现“小康”、分“三步走”达到中等发达国家水平,是对20世纪内“超英赶美”的修订。该战略理论的价值在于超越了社会发展战略即经济发展战略的认识;在以“社会主义”和“中国特色”双重标志而迥异于西方发展战略理论的同时,创造性地发展了毛泽东思想。     

Is Keeping China Down More Important Than Lifting Americans Up?

After U.S. National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe proclaimed that "China is National Security Threat No.1" in a Wall Street Journal article on December 3, 2020, he followed it up with a Fox News interview a few days later, claiming that China is "altering DNA" of its 2-million-strong military personnel, "trying to make them stronger through gene editing."     

Provocation Doomed to Fail

Tensions across the Taiwan Straits have recently escalated due to actions on the part of several U.S. politicians as well as some pro-independence parties on the island. On October 26, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed his country's "support" for Taiwan joining the United Nations, a blunt violation of the one-China principle. At the same time, the Taiwan authority is increasingly, and recklessly so, challenging the bottom line of the Central Government in Beijing. In her CNN interview on October 28, Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen confirmed that U.S. troops are training local military forces on the island, making Tsai the first Taiwanese authority to admit to the presence of U.S. military on the island.     

America's Anti-China Human Rights Hype

正As U.S. President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken attempt to rebrand post-Donald Trump America through new policies and narratives at home and abroad, the topic of "human rights" has become, once again, a focal point of Washington’s propaganda. China should welcome this discussion and join it robustly.     

“冷战”时期之禁毒与美国外交取舍

"冷战"时期,以美国为代表的西方社会,以联合国为舞台,借助新闻媒介之手,曾经展开过一场禁毒遏共外交活动。这既是当时特殊的"冷战"背景下美国遏制与孤立新中国的产物,更是美国对外政策实施过程中以话语权优势制衡对手的惯有手法,而由此助长了东南亚"金三角"毒品源地的坐大,则显然是以意识形态为标尺的"冷战"背景下禁毒外交取舍不当之"苦果"。唯有摒弃意识形态领域的偏见,保持禁毒的初衷不变,国际禁毒事业方能得以长足发展。     

Double Standards,Double Blades

正Despite strong opposition from its own people and neighboring countries, the Japanese Government has asserted its decision to discharge the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant's wastewater into the Pacific Ocean. Western societies, headed by the U.S., however, have thus far managed to provide a display of unprecedented generosity toward Japan.     

Let the Facts Speak

Inconclusive conclusions lead to inadmissible evidence on Xinjiang The U.S. State Department lawyers have concluded there’s no evidence to prove "genocide" in Xinjiang.The UK Parliament has decided it’s a job for the lawyers not the government.     

Does a Falling Birth Rate Equal ‘Genocide’?

正‘Quick, someone get Adrian Zenz on the phone! To investigate and see if ‘genocide’ is taking place in the U.S." Readers were joking in the comment sections of several Western media outlets in response to reports covering the declining birth rate in the U.S. A drop in birth rates was in fact one of Zenz’s main reasons underpinning his claim that "genocide" occurred in China’s Xinjiang region.     

Reassess and Readdress

正After backlash, Australia needs to rethink its China policy When talking about taking a hawkish stance against China, Australia's Scott Morrison administration seems to have taken things slightly further than its U.S. ally. Recently, a succession of high-ranking Australian officials, including Home Affairs Secretary Mike Pezzullo and Defense Minister Peter Dutton,     

China-U.S.-EU Relations in Transition

HAVING promised to"build back better,"the Biden administration now faces two chal-lenges as it sets out to revamp the country's battered international image in the wake of its predecessor's blunders.They are:to recalibrate the U.S.'s China policy,and to regain the trust and confidence of its European allies.     

2019年美国侵犯人权报告(上)

美国国务卿蓬佩奥2019年4月15日在演讲时说:“我们撒谎,我们欺骗,我们偷窃……这才是美国不断探索进取的荣耀。”美国政客的言论彻底暴露了其在人权问题上奉行双重标准、以人权维护霸权的虚伪面目。美国号称人权立国,以世界人权卫士自居,以自身对人权的狭隘理解为框架,以称霸全球的核心利益为标尺,每年根据捕风捉影、道听途说的材料拼凑出年度国别人权报告,对不符合其战略利益的国家和地区的人权状况肆意歪曲贬低,却对自身持续性、系统化、大规模侵犯人权的斑斑劣迹置若罔闻、熟视无睹。     

THE HYPOCRISY OF THE U.S. APPROACH

Long proclaiming itself as the architype of "democracy" and "human rights,"the U.S. is used to reprimanding other countries by wielding the baton of said concepts.     

An Imperial Presidency?

Girging him with“incitement of insurction”and describing him as a“clear id present danger”to the nation,the U.S.House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump for a historic second time.Ten Republican members broke ranks and joined Democrats.Coming in the waning days of Trump's administration,the date of a Senate trial is still uncertain,but there are indications that it might proceed months later after the business of helping a new administration take root has been completed,and long alter he has left office.

Anti-Terror In a Tangle?

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks that triggered the American "war on terror," a blanket term for all preemptive military strikes intended to reduce the threat terrorism posed to the U.S. homeland. It was foreshadowed by the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, which had brought about enormous sorrow, wanton destruction and civilian casualties to the Afghan nation before the American troops finally made their chaotic exit two decades later.     

Skyrocketing House Prices and Stagnating Wages,What's Wrong?

With the U.S. economy still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and record unemployment, real estate prices continue to skyrocket, pricing thousands of house hunters out of the market in the U.S. and Canada. This may seem counterintuitive for an economy that is still recovering from recession, is yet to reach 2019 GDP levels and saw unemployment peak at just over 14 percent in April, 2020. The last time U.S. home prices raised this quickly, it led to an ensuing crash that brought down the global economy.
