Tweeting about his country's trade spat with China, US President Donald Trump softened his tone on Sunday, claiming that "taxes will become reciprocal and a deal will be made on intellectual property", forecasting a "great future for both countries".
During his meeting with visiting UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday, President Xi Jinping said that people, not just in China but throughout the world, should have confidence that their expectations to live fulfilling lives will be met, and that all countries, both big and small, should work together to give more people the assurance they can enjoy a better future.
THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC SECURITY has recently published a draft regulation on internet security supervision for public opinions. The draft stipulates that the internet service providers face a penalty of up to 1 million yuan ($159,000) if they are found to have engaged in the illegal transaction of personal information, even if their action does not result in any crime or yield a cent in illegal gains.

STATISTICS FROM THE ANHUI, Hubei and Sichuan provincial governments indicate the three provinces, all large exporters of migrant workers in the past have seen marked declines in the outflow of workers and obvious influxes of people increasing their populations. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

US President Donald Trump added a new twist to the trade dispute on Sunday by seemingly softening his stance and tweeting: "President Xi and I will always be friends, no matter what happens with our dispute on trade. China will take down its trade barriers because it is the right thing to do..."
As a drafter of the Made in China 2025 plan, I feel the US report on the investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 is biased. For instance, the report says the Chinese government provides funds for enterprises to invest in and purchase US companies in a bid to acquire core technologies, when the fact is that Chinese enterprises have decided on their own to expand globally because of the rapid increase in their competitiveness and power.
The changing pattern of global economic development has given rise to new proposals of international relations and cooperation. From Davos to Boao, a community with a shared future for humankind is China's proposal as it develops into an influential global power amid historic changes. China's proposal has the potential to promote global development in a more equitable and fair manner.
The world will pay special attention to President Xi Jinping when he addresses his speech to almost 2,000 politicians, and business, media leaders and scholars from across the world at the annual Boao Forum for Asia in South China's Hainan province on Tuesday amid the escalating Beijing-Washington trade dispute.
It goes against the grain to repeat something already told more than once, especially when it has been told so clearly by so many.

Four decades into China's earthshaking reform and opening-up, some outsiders wonder whether that 40-year-old commitment will persist.
