Hospitality not a sign of harmony and consensus

A merry round of golf, capped by a sweet selfie for two that went viral online, followed by double cheeseburgers made with American beef. Ending with the awarding of the Made-in-America United States President's Cup, at a meticulously arranged sumo show that was "really great".

It's mission impossible trying to foil China's tech progress

THE US ADMINISTRATION is attempting to squeeze the space for international cooperation by arbitrarily rejecting free and fair competition. People's Daily comments:

Innovation not license to print money

REPORTS THAT A COMPANY IN NANYANG, Henan province, has produced a car that can run on water has sparked a heated debate. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

Washington shows how to make enemies quickly

Editor's note: With their "America first" obsession, some people in the United States do not care about people in other countries. Zhong Sheng, a columnist for People's Daily, comments:

US tariffs won't cause the sky to fall

While the impact of the Sino-US trade dispute on the Chinese economy will be negative, causing more damage to the Chinese economy than to the US economy, they will be manageable for China. I estimate the maximum possible damage, assuming that all Chinese exports of goods to the US are halted, at 2.4 percent of GDP. But the negative impact on China's real GDP and employment can be mitigated through an appropriate increase in domestic aggregate demand.

New Indian govt needs inclusive policies to boost economy

The campaign for the Indian national elections, whose results were declared on Thursday, took voters through bitter, unwanted political and sometimes dirty apolitical debates. The right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance was re-elected to power, yet the BJP won just one of the four provincial elections which were held simultaneously.

The airlines grounded these aircraft after two 737 Max 8 crashed within six months due to the same technological problem killing 346 people. Will the Chinese airlines succeed in claiming compensation? Three experts share their views on the issue with China Daily's Liu Jianna. Excerpts follow:

Going against trends of the times not making America great again

WITHDRAWING FROM INTERNATIONAL TREATIES, building border walls and starting trade wars, the United States seems to be intent on reconstructing the postwar international order that it built itself. People's Daily comments:

New UK leader expected to promote Sino-UK relations

Going, going, and finally gone. That Theresa May's tenure as British prime minister has come to an end with the announcement of her resignation on Friday is no surprise to people both inside and outside Britain. After all, as the British leader tasked with taking her country out of the European Union, she failed to produce an acceptable deal for the country to proceed with its exit from the EU.

Something is amiss with US political discourse on China

It seems as if pointing accusing fingers at China has become political correctness in the United States. As a result, US officials are now accustomed to speaking with a forked tongue when it comes to China.

Different point of view for US public
