Media paint false picture proclaiming foreign investment pulling out of China

SOME OVERSEAS MEDIA outlets have been trying to hype the notion that foreign companies are "withdrawing" their investments out of China. Economic Daily comments:

Domestic product standards must be enforced

IN A SPEECH DELIVERED ON SUNDAY, which marked the annual World Standards Day, the State Administration for Market Regulation head Zhang Mao said that the agency will continue narrowing the gap between the standards for domestic consumption goods and exported ones. Beijing News comments:

Chinese people also have the right to live well

Editor's note: "They (Chinese people) lived too well for too long." That's what US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Thursday. A WeChat public account Martian Square comments:

Foreign firms still betting on China

Editor's note: Once again, the judgment is being trotted out that China is experiencing an outflow of foreign capital based on the withdrawal of a few foreign companies. Is this really the case? Three experts share their views on the issue with China Daily's Liu Jianna. Excerpts follow:

Sharing of experiences crucial to eliminate poverty

The global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, will never be achieved if each one of the United Nations' 193 member states has to do it on their own. In fact, each of them, including the most advanced, can draw on a vast pool of international experience in developing their SDG strategy. One of the most important roles that the UN plays in the 2030 effort is as a bridge between nations, facilitating the sharing of experience and knowledge.

US' dangerously dreaming of new 'Cold War'

US policy toward China appears to be in the hands of deranged sleep walkers. Believing they are living in days of an imagined glorious past, they are instead, wrecking their own country's future.

US plays Russian roulette with the global economy

Mexico has told the Chinese government that the trade terms it agreed with the United States and Canada will not ruin its relationship with China.

Letter goes too far in telling Canada what to do with Huawei

When US senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio in a letter in recent days told Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to keep China's tech and telecom giant Huawei out of its plans to build a new-generation mobile network, they were being presumptuous.

Development imperative for eradication of extremism

Editor's note: The West's criticism of China's anti-terrorism efforts in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region reflect their bias against China and belittle the problem of extremism in the region. Four experts offer their views of the country's efforts to counter terrorism and extremism and the government's efforts to promote stability and development and protect the rights of all its citizens:

EU, China have much to chew over

Premier Li Keqiang heads to Brussels this week for the biannual Asia Europe meeting (ASEM) plus bilateral talks with European Union leaders. Li's visit takes place amid rising protectionism and increasing trade tensions between China and the United States, as well as between the EU and the US. The EU has not suffered as heavy a blow as China from US tariffs but EU leaders are still lobbying to get the White House to lift 25 percent tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports imposed on spurious "national security" grounds.
