To cooperate or to confront, this is the question for China-US relations.合作还是对抗,这是中美关系的问题。An article jointly written by Kurt Campbell, former deputy secretary of state in the previous US administration, and Rush Doshi, former deputy senior director for China affairs on the National Security Council, published in The New York Times on the weekend, calls for the current administration to confront China by maximizing the United States' own strength through its alliances.上周末,美国前副国务卿库尔特·坎贝尔(Kurt Campbell)和国家安全委员会前中国事务副高级主任拉什·多西(Rush Doshi)在《纽约时报》上联合发表了一篇文章,呼吁现任政府通过联盟最大化美国自身实力来对抗中国。Only through partnerships can the US protect its shared industrial bases, technological edge and the ability to deter China, they argue. Claiming that it is not too late for the administration to build allied scale, despite the coercive approach it has adopted, they call for the administration to redirect its leverage toward the goal of balancing China's "overwhelming capacity", which will otherwise leave the US diminished and more isolated.他们认为,只有通过伙伴关系,美国才能保护其共同的工业基础、技术优势和威慑中国的能力。他们声称,尽管政府采取了强制措施,但建立联盟规模还不算太晚,他们呼吁政府将其影响力转向平衡中国“压倒性能力”的目标,否则美国将被削弱,更加孤立。It is not difficult to smell the stink of the Cold War mentality in the article. Both writers obviously consider China-US relations to be a matter of one power — the US — dominating the global order. They believe that the US must leverage its ties with its allies to counterbalance the rise of China. According to the authors, there is no third path — it is either the US or China that will dominate global affairs.在文章中不难闻到冷战思维的臭味。两位作者显然都认为中美关系是一个大国——美国——主导全球秩序的问题。他们认为,美国必须利用其与盟友的关系来制衡中国的崛起。根据作者的说法,没有第三条路——要么美国,要么中国将主导全球事务。But for China the situation is not simply an either-or scenario. In his telephone talk with US President Donald Trump on June 5, Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out that recalibrating the direction of the giant ship of China-US relations requires the two leaders to set the right course. For that, he said, it is particularly important to steer clear of various disturbances and disruptions.但对中国来说,这种情况不仅仅是非此即彼。在6月5日与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的电话交谈中,习近平总书记指出,重新调整中美关系巨轮的方向,需要两国领导人找准方向。为此,他说,避开各种干扰和中断尤为重要。The path Campbell and Doshi urge the Trump administration to follow in handling China-US relations is undoubtedly a disturbance and disruption as it calls for the US and its allies to confront China.坎贝尔和多西敦促特朗普政府在处理中美关系时遵循的道路无疑是一种干扰和破坏,因为它呼吁美国及其盟友与中国对抗。The world is not what it was. The Cold War mentality that pervades the article does not apply in this increasingly multipolar world.世界已经不是过去的样子了。文章中弥漫的冷战思维不适用于这个日益多极化的世界。Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, after meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on July 11 in Kuala Lumpur, told the media that from the perspective of human evolution and development, the interests of China and the US converge in a wide range of areas and there is huge space for both countries to cooperate.中国外交部长王毅11日在吉隆坡会见美国国务卿卢比奥后对媒体表示,从人类进化和发展的角度来看,中美两国的利益在广泛领域交汇,合作空间巨大。As Wang said, China and the US have the responsibility and ability to find a path on which both countries can get along with each other in a desirable manner. This is in the interests of both peoples and what the entire world expects of the development of China-US bilateral relations.正如王所说,中国和美国有责任也有能力找到一条两国能够以令人满意的方式相处的道路。这符合两国人民的利益,也符合全世界对中美关系发展的期待。Although the writers claimed in their article that their aim was not to contain China, which they believe is impossible, they look at China-US relations through the lens of the Thucydides Trap, believing that it is impossible for the US and China to cooperate for the well-being of humanity.尽管作者在文章中声称他们的目的不是遏制中国,他们认为这是不可能的,但他们通过修昔底德陷阱的视角看待中美关系,认为美国和中国不可能为了人类的福祉而合作。It is more than necessary for those in Washington with such a mentality to consider carefully the four initiatives that China has proposed: the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative.华盛顿有这种心态的人非常有必要仔细考虑中国提出的四项倡议:全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议和全球治理倡议。The four initiatives seek to harvest the wisdom and strengths of all countries, both developed and developing ones, to address the deficits in global development, global security, civilization exchanges and global governance. From these four initiatives, it is not difficult to see that China does not pursue hegemony. Instead, it seeks a global synergy of resources to address the common challenges humanity is facing and desires the common development of all countries.这四项倡议旨在汇集发达国家和发展中国家的智慧和力量,以解决全球发展、全球安全、文明交流和全球治理方面的不足。从这四项举措中不难看出,中国并不追求霸权。相反,它寻求全球资源的协同作用,以应对人类面临的共同挑战,并希望所有国家共同发展。China is not trying to challenge the status of the US. Rather it seeks to cooperate as much as possible with the US to create a fairer and more just world order, which will better facilitate global development and world peace.中国并不试图挑战美国的地位,而是寻求与美国尽可能多地合作,建立一个更公平、更公正的世界秩序,这将更好地促进全球发展和世界和平。If those politicians in Washington who are afraid that the US may lose its hegemonic status with China's rise could be broad-minded enough to look at China as one of the major poles in a multipolar world and seek cooperation instead of confrontation with it, the world would be a much better place for all countries and peoples.如果华盛顿那些担心美国可能会随着中国的崛起而失去霸权地位的政客能够心胸开阔,将中国视为多极世界的主要极点之一,寻求合作而不是对抗,那么世界对所有国家和人民来说都会变得更好。Initiativen.倡议/ɪˈnɪʃ.ə.tɪv/confrontationn.对抗/ˌkɒn.frʌnˈteɪ.ʃən/

Equity-index futures for Japan pointed to a modest gain after chip stocks pushed the Nikkei-225 index lower Monday. Contracts also indicated modest moves for Hong Kong and Australia. US equity-index futures edged lower with cash markets closed Monday for Labor Day. Investors will also be watching Japan's 10-year government bond auction Tuesday, which will be a key test of appetite amid growing expectations of rate hikes by the Bank of Japan and mounting political uncertainty. Stateside, Wall Street's record-breaking stock rally now faces a pivotal test, with jobs numbers, inflation data and the Federal Reserve's rate call all landing within the next three weeks. Tariff tensions and questions over the Fed's independence were also compounding the risks in September, historically the weakest month of the year for US markets. We look at the current market landscape with Michael Hartnett, Chief Investment Strategist at BofA Global Research. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.Plus - Chinese President Xi Jinping secured an agreement from partner countries to set up a new development bank, realizing a longtime ambition in a display of Beijing's growing influence. Members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization agreed to establish the institution, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday at the end of the two-day SCO summit that gathered Xi's closest international allies in the Chinese port city of Tianjin. In a joint declaration, member countries including India and Russia expressed opposition to unilateral coercive measures and vowed to facilitate trade within the group. We get reaction from Henry Huiyao Wang, Founder and President of the Center for China and Globalization.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Trump Pushes Biggest Ukraine Breakthrough Yet After nearly four years of war, Washington may have delivered the most concrete peace opening so far. On Monday, President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and seven top European leaders to discuss security guarantees for Kyiv. The real headline came right after: Trump called Vladimir Putin for a 40-minute conversation and set the stage for a potential Putin–Zelensky face-to-face within two weeks. Trump later said he hopes to follow that with a trilateral summit including himself. Zelensky described his meeting with Trump as the “best conversation so far,” while NATO's Mark Rutte hailed Trump's offer of NATO-style guarantees as a “breakthrough.” France's Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Friedrich Merz called for Europe's role in shaping long-term security and pressed for a ceasefire as a first step. Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Britain's Keir Starmer stressed that only ironclad safeguards can deliver lasting peace. Finland's Alexander Stubb noted more progress in two weeks “than in three and a half years.” For the first time in years, the US, EU, and Ukraine seem aligned on a peace path. India's Big GST Reset Before Diwali On Independence Day, the Finance Ministry announced sweeping reforms to simplify GST. Instead of four slabs—5, 12, 18 and 28 percent—the new plan proposes just three: 5, 18, and a 40 percent “sin tax” for items like tobacco and beer. Nearly all goods in the 12 percent bracket could drop to 5 percent, making groceries, medicines, footwear, and even appliances cheaper. Most 28 percent items would shift to 18 percent, cutting costs on furniture, electronics and more. Putin Calls Modi Amid Peace Push While Trump worked the phones with Putin, Moscow also reached out to New Delhi. On Monday, Putin called Prime Minister Narendra Modi, briefing him on the Alaska talks with Trump. Modi reiterated India's consistent line—support for dialogue and a peaceful settlement. The timing was striking: just hours before Trump's White House meeting with Zelensky. Yet this diplomatic outreach comes with pressure. India–China Relations Thawing For the first time since the bloody Galwan clashes of 2020, India and China are signaling a thaw. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in New Delhi, insisting that peace and de-escalation along the Line of Actual Control are essential. “Differences must not become disputes,” he said. Already, concrete steps are visible: the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra has resumed after five years, India has reopened tourist visas for Chinese nationals, and talks are underway to restart direct flights. Wang Yi pointed to “shared confidence” driving progress and said both nations can offer stability to Asia and the world. The real test could come later this month, when Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping are expected to meet on the sidelines of the SCO Summit—potentially turning a painful page in bilateral ties.

Israel and Iran traded attacks for the third day in a row on Sunday, deepening their most intense direct confrontation to date.以色列和伊朗16日连续第三天互相袭击,加深了双方迄今最激烈的直接对抗。While Israel unleashed airstrikes that targeted Iran's Defense Ministry headquarters and alleged nuclear weapons project sites, Iran's ballistic missiles and drones struck Israeli cities such as Haifa and Tel Aviv, forcing millions into shelters.以色列发动空袭,目标是伊朗国防部总部和据称的核武项目基地。而伊朗的弹道导弹和无人机则袭击了海法和特拉维夫等以色列城市,迫使数百万人躲入避难所。Israel's sweeping offensive, which was launched on Friday, initially focused on Iranian nuclear facilities, air defenses and military targets, aiming to prevent Teheran from acquiring nuclear weapons, even though Iran insists that its nuclear program is for civilian energy use.以色列于14日发起的全面攻势,最初集中在伊朗的核设施、防空系统和军事目标上,旨在阻止德黑兰获得核武器——尽管伊朗坚称其核计划是用于民用能源。Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to hit "every target" in Iran, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned of "more severe and powerful responses" to further strikes.以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡誓言要打击伊朗“所有目标”,而伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽什基安则警告称,若再遭袭击,将作出“更严厉、更有力的回应”。On Saturday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held separate phone calls with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar.周六,中国外交部长王毅分别同伊朗外长阿卜杜拉希扬和以色列外长卡茨通电话。During the talks, Wang said that China firmly opposes Israel's use of force against Iran in violation of international law, and the immediate priority is to avoid escalation of the conflict to protect the region from falling into greater turmoil.会谈中,王毅表示,中方坚决反对以色列违反国际法对伊朗使用武力,当务之急是避免冲突升级,保障地区免遭更大动荡。There is still room for a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear issue, Wang said, urging both parties to resolve differences through dialogue. China is willing to play a constructive role in supporting these efforts, he added.王毅表示伊朗核问题仍有外交解决空间,敦促各方通过对话解决分歧,并强调中方愿为此发挥建设性作用。The three-day conflict has inflicted heavy losses on both sides. Israel has carried out roughly 150 strikes, killing over 70 people and damaging the Natanz nuclear facility. Iran's counterattacks have killed at least 10 Israelis and wounded 200.本轮为期三天的冲突已给双方造成重大损失。以色列发动约150次打击造成超70人死亡,纳坦兹核设施受损;伊朗反击造成至少10名以色列人死亡、200人受伤。Yemen's Houthi group joined the fight on Sunday, launching missiles targeting Israel.也门胡塞武装周日加入战局,发射导弹袭击以色列。Ma Xiaolin, dean of the Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean Rim at Zhejiang International Studies University, said that Israel has always regarded Iran's nuclear capabilities as a major threat. "Strategically, Israel's 'preemptive' strikes aimed to block improvement in US-Iran ties and force Washington to suspend its Middle East withdrawal. Israel seeks to bind the US closer and maintain pressure on Iran, while diverting domestic political pressure," he said.浙江外国语学院环地中海研究院院长马晓霖表示,以色列始终将伊朗核能力视为重大威胁。其“先发制人”打击战略上既为阻断美伊关系改善,又迫使华盛顿暂停中东撤军计划,意图将美国与自己绑得更紧并持续施压伊朗,同时转移国内政治压力。Iran's response has been relatively restrained, because an all-out conflict does not serve Iran's interests, Ma said, adding that long-term sanctions have made it difficult for Iran to withstand a direct conflict with Israel and the US.伊朗反应相对克制是因为全面冲突不符合其利益,长期制裁已使伊朗难以承受与美以的直接冲突。Esmail Kosari, a member of the Iranian parliament's security commission, said Iran was reviewing the possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian media.据伊朗媒体报道,伊朗议会国家安全委员会成员伊斯梅尔·科萨里称伊朗正考虑关闭霍尔木兹海峡的可能性。Ed Hirs, an economics professor at the University of Houston, said closure of the key link in global energy transportation would have a huge impact on oil prices. The strait carries between 18 million and 20 million barrels a day, "so almost 20 percent of the global oil market passes through it", Hirs told Al Jazeera media.休斯顿大学经济学教授埃德·希尔斯表示,封锁这条全球能源运输要道将对油价产生巨大冲击。该海峡每日运输量达1800万至2000万桶石油,“全球近20%的石油市场依赖这条通道”——希尔斯向半岛电视台如是表述。airstrike/'erˌstraɪk/v.空袭nuclear weapon核武器ballistic missiles弹道导弹escalation/ˌeskə'leɪʃ(ə)n/n.扩大,恶化,升级preemptive/prɪ'emptɪv/adj.先买的,有先买权的;先发制人的all-out conflict全面冲突
On April 22, 2025, gunmen in the town of Pahalgam, located in the disputed region of Kashmir, killed 26 people—mostly Indian tourists. A four-day military clash between India and Pakistan ensued, bringing both countries to the brink of a full-blown war, before a ceasefire was reached on May 10, 2025. During the India-Pakistan clashes, Beijing urged both sides to deescalate and called for a “political settlement through peaceful means.” But China did not play a neutral role in the conflict. Consistent with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's purported statement to his Pakistani counterpart that “China fully understands Pakistan's legitimate security concerns and supports Pakistan in safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests,” China reportedly provided intelligence, satellite equipment, and other forms of support to Pakistan before and during the clashes.To analyze China's role in the conflict, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Andrew Small. Andrew is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Indo-Pacific program, and author of two books on China, including “The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics,” which is now ten years old, but remains an insightful and relevant study.

Central Asia is one of those regions that isn't getting a lot of attention these days, as it's not a major player in the escalating U.S.-China trade war. But that may soon change as both major powers look to the region to source energy, critical minerals, and build new logistics corridors. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spent a few days in the Kazakh capital Almaty meeting with his five Central Asian counterparts to plan an upcoming leaders summit that will take place in June. Meantime, the Uzbek government this month confirmed an ambitious critical minerals deal with the United States, highlighting the region's growing strategic importance. Yunis Sharifli, CGSP's non-resident fellow for Central Asia, joins Eric from Ankara, Turkey to discuss why this renewed attention on Central Asia will also propel the development of ambitious new transport routes linking Asia and Europe.

This week, Eric, Cobus, and Géraud debate whether Chinese trade is helping or hurting developing countries and whether China's role as the world's manufacturer is also the primary reason why poor countries remain stuck at the bottom of the industrial value chain.
