US must adapt to new global realities, expert says
China & Russia seek cooperation rather than conflict with the United States, but Washington struggles to accept a multipolar world, says Chinese foreign policy expert Li Yongquan. He explains that East-West tensions persist because the U.S. resists sharing rule-making power with rising economies. This resistance, Li argues, makes America's adjustment to changing global realities particularly challenging, even as other nations seek constructive engagement.
US military spending reveals core policy differences with China
China's preference for stable development stands in sharp contrast to America's military-industrial approach, says expert Li Yongquan. He reveals how U.S. defense spending necessitates continuous overseas engagement, while China's approach draws from traditional values emphasizing peaceful coexistence. These different paths reflect fundamentally distinct visions of global engagement.
Central Asia remains crucial to success of Belt and Road Initiative after decade of growth
Over a decade after President Xi proposed the initiative of the Silk Road Economic Belt, an essential component of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), in Kazakhstan, Central Asia has emerged as the BRI's successful showcase, according to policy expert Li Yongquan. The region boasts the high concentration of BRI projects & comprehensive partnerships, showing how shared aspirations can drive development. Yet, Li warns that China & Central Asia should also be aware of potential so-called major power competition in the region.
China-Russia relations remain strong despite external pressures
As China & Russia mark 75 years of diplomatic relations, their resilient partnership built on mutual respect & shared benefits continues to adapt to new challenges, says Li Yongquan, director of the Eurasian Social Development Research Institute at the Development Research Center of the State Council. The relationship's proven durability suggests it will continue to flourish despite external pressures, as showcased in sanctions on Russia imposed by the U.S. on the pretext of the Ukraine crisis.

What's behind US actions in South China Sea?
Maritime expert Dr. Wu Shicun reveals how the US encourages Philippine provocations in the South China Sea while ensuring Manila remains obedient to Washington's strategic limits. He explains that the US seeks to stoke disorder without risking serious conflict, aware of Beijing's firm position on its sovereign rights. In response, China must balance defending its legitimate rights with maintaining regional peace.
Why is the Philippines escalating tensions with China?
The Philippines has escalated provocative actions in China's Nansha Islands this year, particularly around Ren'ai Jiao and Xianbin Jiao. While Manila appears to act independently, maritime expert Dr. Wu Shicun explains how US influence drives these tensions. Unlike Duterte's consensus-building approach, President Marcos Jr.'s pro-American policy has significantly damaged relations with China.
