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.

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.

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".

America's sincerity in seeking a deal doubtful

As China's White Paper on its trade negotiations with the United States, released on Sunday, shows, the US bears the full responsibility for the stalled trade talks since it is the one that has backtracked on its commitments - at least three times so far.
