Russia, China are key and close partners

President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia comes exactly 30 years after Moscow-Beijing relations were normalized after a period of discord and confrontation. This normalization has turned out to be one of the most productive foreign policy investments for both countries.

Go fish if need be! But, please, do so legally

Chinese people love fish, and both the demand and consumption of fish are on the rise. Which is good, because fish is high in protein and low in fat, and fish help to feed a hungry world while providing livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people across the Asia-Pacific region. But, ironically, this increase in demand has also created opportunities for criminals to make a profit.

PLA to continue contributing to peace and global security

China's rapid economic growth and strategic adaptation to the changing security situation have helped the People's Liberation Army to modernize and upgrade its armament and equipment.

America first will not make it great again

Editor's note: The Chinese government published a white paper on Sunday, elaborating on the developments of China-US economic and trade frictions, clarifying its principled stance, and pointing out the responsibility for the setbacks in bilateral talks lies with the US government. Zhong Sheng, a columnist for People's Daily, comments:

China is not Japan, US should know that

"When governments permit counterfeiting or copying of American products, it is stealing our future, and it is no longer free trade." So said former US president Ronald Reagan, commenting on Japan after the Plaza Accord was concluded in September 1985. These times, in many respects, are a remake of this 1980s movie, but with a reality-television star replacing a Hollywood film star in the presidential leading role - and with a new villain in place of Japan.

Only Party can lead us to realize Chinese Dream

New China's remarkable achievements over the past 70 years, especially since the launch of reform and opening-up, can be attributed to the leadership of the Communist Party of China. National unity, prosperity and strength could be achieved only under the Party's leadership.

Revisionism appropriately defines US, not China

Why should China, not the United States, be a revisionist country? On Saturday, the US Department of Defense released an "Indo-Pacific strategy report". Obviously, it's not a gift for Children's Day (which is observed on June 1 in China) but a declaration of the US' policy toward the world's most populous and fastest-growing region in the wake of its acting secretary of defense's keynote address at the 18th Asia Security Summit (or Shangri-La Dialogue).
