While marking the arrival of 2025, students and teachers in the US state of Washington received a precious gift — a New Year card addressed to them with a message from President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan.Lynn Eisenhauer, a music teacher at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, said it is always a special experience to receive a message from President Xi, and they are glad to know that Xi and his wife received their latest greetings of good wishes.In mid-December, Eisenhauer joined students and teachers from local schools, as well as the US-China Youth and Student Exchange Association in Washington state, to send a New Year greeting card to President Xi and his wife, as well as the Chinese people.More than 100 teachers and students signed the card, on which was written in Chinese: "Commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the 80th anniversary of (the end of) the World Anti-Fascist War. Embracing the New Year, long live peace, and may China-US friendship last forever."David Chong, president of the US-China Youth and Student Exchange Association, said that "due to limited space, many friends couldn't fit their names on the card".He added that the reason the card mentioned the upcoming 80th anniversary of the victories in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War was because "we want the Chinese friends to know that the American people have not forgotten the history of the two nations fighting side by side".In the response card from the Chinese president, Xi and Peng said that during World War II, China and the United States fought together for peace and justice, and the friendship between the two peoples stood the test of blood and fire and is growing even stronger.Ella Martino, a student at Stadium High School in Tacoma, said: "Signing the greeting card for President Xi was an incredible honor and achievement. I, as an American student, want to express my gratitude for the friendship between America and China. I also wish for the longevity of peace between China and America."Brian Suy, a student at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, said of the World War II era: "I am familiar with this period of history and I believe that it is important for students to learn. I believe that this period of history should serve as a reminder for American and Chinese citizens that their countries can work together well, despite how different their cultures and politics are. I am willing to be a successor to keep the relations of the people of China and America strong and close."William Felagai, a student from Lincoln High School in Tacoma, said he "was very thankful and felt very lucky" to receive such a gift as a token of appreciation, and he also knows a little bit about that period of history."I attended a trip to Washington, DC, and was able to hear about the Sino-US friendship from a Flying Tigers veteran himself. He talked about how US soldiers and pilots found refuge in Chinese villagers who were willing to risk not only themselves and their families' lives but their whole village from destruction by the Japanese military," Felagai said.Maryn Sage, assistant principal of Stadium High School, said that this history and President Xi's reference to the Sino-US friendship being "tested by blood and fire" during World War II refers to the cooperation between China and the US as they fought a common enemy, despite their different political systems. "We believe that friendship is a way to foster mutual understanding and trust, reducing the likelihood of conflicts by promoting dialogue and cooperation," Sage said.In the card, Xi and Peng also extended their New Year wishes and expressed their hope that the young people of both countries will continue to participate in China's initiative of inviting 50,000 young people from the US over the course of five years to visit China for exchange and study programs, strengthen exchanges and interactions, enhance mutual understanding and carry forward the traditional friendship.Xi announced the initiative during his meeting with US President Joe Biden in San Francisco in 2023. Shannon Marshall, principal of Stadium High School, said that she accompanied 10 students to China in July last year, and in September, the school sent 12 students and an assistant principal."We would love to send more students in 2025 and are so thankful for the opportunities," Marshall added. "My group of 10 students who traveled to China in July recently met to reconnect and reminisce. The students spoke about the Chinese students they met and who they are still in contact with via WeChat. This experience has created long-lasting friendships between American students and Chinese students and bonded our American students together because they experienced a new culture together."Martino was among the 12 Stadium students who went to China for a two-week trip last year. She said she will never forget the people she met in China and the incredible impact they had on her life."I was most impressed by the hospitality I felt from the Chinese people I met. I made many Chinese friends. ... If I ever visit China again in the future, I wish to see my friends again and see the places that they care about the most," she said.Eisenhauer accompanied three groups of students from Lincoln High School on trips to China last year, and they were among the first groups to accept the invitation extended by President Xi to study and travel in China.Eisenhauer recalled that during their fall trip, they performed for Peng, and meeting the president's wife was a truly magical moment."I believe in the power of peaceful connections between people and cultures," Eisenhauer said. "Individual acts of kindness and friendship have the power to change the world in small but steady ways. I sincerely hope that the leadership of both our countries continue to encourage our youth to travel the globe and share their personal experiences and cultures with each other."Chong, the US-China Youth and Student Exchange Association president, said he knows of many people who hope for friendship between the two nations and are deeply concerned about the current state of US-China relations."There has never been just one voice in America. Through this, we hope to convey to the Chinese people the American public's desire for friendship between our two nations and their love for peace," Chong said.Ron Chow, co-chairman of the US-China Youth and Student Exchange Association, told China Daily: "We all agree that the US-China relationship is the most consequential bilateral relationship in the world. The future of our friendship lies in the hands of the younger generation. It is our association's mission to deepen dialogue and exchanges between the youth of the US and China, enabling more American young people to understand the real China, not just the one portrayed in the media."

No one should question China's resolve to continue to promote high-quality opening-up through the rule of law. It is mainly thanks to the consistent legislative efforts China has made over the years to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of foreign enterprises that the country has turned itself into one of the world's top destinations for foreign direct investment.任何人都不应质疑中国继续用法治推进高质量开放的决心。中国发展成为全球外商直接投资首选地之一，得益于多年来中国不断通过立法维护在华外企合法权益。Those who want to use the antitrust probe the Chinese authorities have launched into US chipmaker Nvidia as a pretext to point an accusing finger at China for allegedly politicizing the business environment for foreign companies are not only turning a blind eye to the facts of the case, but also taking a double standard when it comes to antitrust scrutiny.那些想以中国当局对美国芯片企业英伟达发起反垄断调查为借口，指责中国涉嫌将外国公司的商业环境政治化的人，不仅无视了事实，还在反垄断调查上持双重标准。The investigation that China's top market regulator initiated on Monday into Nvidia for suspected monopolistic behaviors has caught a lot of media attention given the high-profile position the company holds as the world's leading chip producer and a key player driving the artificial intelligence revolution.12月9日，中国国家市场监管总局对英伟达涉嫌垄断行为的调查引起了媒体的广泛关注。英伟达作为全球芯片行业巨头，在推动全球AI革命中扮演着关键角色。While much of the Western media have portrayed the probe as a tactical move in the Sino-US trade war ahead of the new US administration taking office or tried to link it with what they hype up as intensified geopolitical rivalry focused on a battle for AI dominance between the two countries, the actual reason is more prosaic. According to the State Administration for Market Regulation, Nvidia is suspected of violating China's Anti-Monopoly Law, as well as the commitments it made in 2020 after it acquired Israeli chip manufacturer Mellanox Technologies in 2019.多家西方媒体报道称，在美国新政府上台前对英伟达展开调查，是中国对中美贸易战采取的一项战术性措施；还有媒体试图对此进行炒作，称调查与中美两国争夺AI发展主导权而导致地缘竞争日渐激烈有关。然而，真正原因很简单：据中国国家市场监管总局，英伟达涉嫌违反《反垄断法》及其于2020年完成收购以色列芯片企业迈络思科技时的承诺。The merger further strengthened Nvidia's market dominance in the semiconductor field, which might have the effect of excluding or restricting competition in the global and Chinese markets for GPU accelerator, dedicated network interconnection equipment and high-speed Ethernet adapter. Nvidia therefore submitted to China some measures to resolve the competition problems making clear commitments, including that it should continue to supply Nvidia GPU accelerators, Mellanox high-speed network interconnection equipment and related software and accessories to the Chinese market after the deal, based on "fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory principles". After that, China approved the transaction.英伟达收购迈络思，进一步巩固了英伟达在半导体行业的领导地位。此项集中对全球及中国GPU加速器、专用网络互联设备、高速以太网适配器市场，具有或可能具有排除、限制竞争效果。为此，英伟达提交了解决该交易带来竞争问题的措施，作出了明确承诺，其中就包括交易双方和集中后实体“应依据公平、合理、无歧视原则”向中国市场继续供应英伟达GPU加速器、迈络思高速网络互联设备和相关软件、配件。经评估，中国国家市场监管总局批准了该交易。Yet, Nvidia has stopped supplying a number of GPU accelerator products to China in recent years on the grounds of the US government's export controls. This action has infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of relevant Chinese enterprises. Therefore, it is not surprising that Nvidia is under investigation for allegedly violating antitrust laws. Article 46 of the Anti-Monopoly Law stipulates that antitrust enforcement agencies are authorized to investigate and take action against suspected monopolistic behaviors. Effectively implementing the conditions attached to the merger approval is both a proactive commitment from Nvidia and a legal obligation.但近年来，英伟达以美国政府不断扩大半导体出口管制为由，陆续停止了多款GPU加速器产品对中国的供应，侵害了中国相关企业合法权益。英伟达涉嫌违反《反垄断法》规定，对其立案调查也在意料之中。《反垄断法》第四十六条规定，反垄断执法机构依法对涉嫌垄断行为进行调查。有效执行审查决定附加的限制性条件，既是英伟达的主动承诺，也成为了其法定义务。In fact, Nvidia is also facing an antitrust investigation in the United States, as the Justice Department is looking into claims that Nvidia is potentially cornering the market and pressuring its customers to unfairly retain business. That includes allegations of Nvidia threatening to punish those who buy products from both itself and its competitors at the same time. The European Union's antitrust regulators are also investigating Nvidia for possible unfair sales practices.事实上，英伟达在美国也面临反垄断调查。美国司法部正对英伟达展开了反垄断调查，评估英伟达是否垄断市场，阻止客户使用竞品。有指控称，英伟达威胁客户，若同时从英伟达及其竞争对手购入商品，将受到惩罚。同时，欧盟反垄断监管机构也在调查英伟达可能存在的不公平销售行为。That Nvidia has so far responded in a low-key way—saying only "we are happy to answer any questions regulators may have about our business"—points to the confidence it has in China's legal environment. Actually, the company has taken China as one of its key global markets, with about 16 percent of its revenue coming from the country, second only to its US-generated revenue, according to data firm FactSet. Nvidia's Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has called China "a very important market for the technology industry", and warned there would be "enormous damage" to the US companies if they were unable to trade with China.迄今，英伟达低调回应此次反垄断调查，表示：“我们很乐意回答监管机构对我们业务提出的任何疑问”，显示出对中国法治化营商环境的信心。实际上，英伟达已将中国视为其重要国际市场之一，据FactSet的数据显示，英伟达约16%的收入来自中国，仅次于美国。英伟达CEO黄仁勋曾表示，中国市场“对科技产业非常重要”，并警告称，若无法与中国贸易，美国企业将遭受“巨大损失”。China has made it one of its top priorities to attract and use foreign investment. That it attracted 1.13 trillion yuan ($158.7 billion) in foreign investment in 2023, the third-highest in history, as compared with 941.52 billion yuan in 2019, is an indication that the country still enjoys strong competitiveness in the global investment market.中国把吸引和利用外资作为政策重点之一。2023年，中国实际使用外资金额为1.13万亿元人民币（约1587亿美元），处于历史第三高，与2019年的9415.2亿元相比，表明中国在全球投资市场上仍享有强大竞争力。Contrary to any attempts to use the Nvidia investigation as a means to discredit China's efforts to create a level playing field for foreign businesses, the probe shows that China's business environment operates under the law. As it has affirmed on many occasions, the country will continue to develop a market-oriented, legalized and internationalized first-class business environment in which foreign companies can enter the Chinese market and share the country's development dividends.对英伟达展开反垄断调查，不仅不能抹煞中国为在华外企营造公平竞争环境的努力，反而凸显出中国法治化的营商环境。正如中国在各种场合多次重申的那样，中国将继续营造市场化、法治化、国际化一流营商环境，欢迎外企来华，共享中国发展红利。prosaicadj.乏味的;平淡无奇的hypen.（新闻媒体的）大肆宣传，炒作dividendn.红利，股息

Charting a smooth transition of China-US ties, taking stock of the policy legacy and underlining Beijing's policy consistency were highlights of the third summit between President Xi Jinping and United States President Joe Biden, observers said.Prior to their meeting on Saturday in Lima, Peru, Xi and Biden had met face-to-face in Bali, Indonesia, in 2022 and in San Francisco last year.On Saturday, Beijing and Washington agreed to "continue to stabilize China-US relations, and ensure a smooth transition of the relationship", the Foreign Ministry said.Both leaders said they believe that "their meeting has been candid, profound and constructive, and they expressed their willingness to stay in contact", the ministry added.Xi and Biden agreed to maintain the momentum of communication and strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination.They also reviewed the important progress since their San Francisco meeting in dialogue and cooperation on counternarcotics, climate change, artificial intelligence and people-to-people exchanges.Diao Daming, a professor of US studies at Renmin University of China's School of International Relations, said, "The third Xi-Biden summit further plays the role as a navigator and a stabilizer for the ties, and taking stock of the policy legacy and lessons over the past four years and beyond is part of Beijing's clear, constructive solution for driving the relations' growth in the future."Whoever takes charge of the US' China policy should respect lessons from the past, face up to the US' international duties, act on the very interests of the American people and respond to global expectations for better well-being," Diao said.Xi's underlining of Beijing's consistency in US policy will help respond to the potential uncertainties that may be brought about by Washington in the future, he added.On Saturday, Xi said that China and the US should keep exploring the right way for two major countries to get along well with each other, realize long-term, peaceful coexistence, and inject more certainty and positive energy into the world.Xi also said that neither decoupling nor supply-chain disruption is the solution, and "small yard, high fences" is not what a major country should do.Citing the lessons from the two countries' diplomatic ties over the past 45 years, Xi said that if the two sides regard each other as rivals and pursue vicious competition, they "will roil the relationship or even set it back".He identified four red lines for China that must not be challenged: the Taiwan question, democracy and human rights, China's path and system, and China's development right."Major-country competition should not be the underlying logic of the times; only solidarity and cooperation can help humanity overcome current difficulties," Xi said.Biden said the US-China relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world, not just for the two peoples, but also for the future of the world.He underscored that the US does not seek a new Cold War, it does not seek to change China's system, its alliances are not targeted against China, it does not support "Taiwan independence", it does not seek conflict with China, and it does not see its Taiwan policy as a way to compete with China.The US will stay committed to the one-China policy and is prepared to enhance communication and dialogue with China during the US' presidential transition period to have a better perception of each other and responsibly manage differences, he said.He added that the two sides support each other's host roles for 2026 — China will host the APEC meeting that year and the US will host the G20 meeting — demonstrating "what we can do for the two peoples when we work together".On specific policy agenda items, Xi stated China's positions on Taiwan, economic and trade ties, science and technology, cybersecurity, the South China Sea, the Ukraine crisis and the Korean Peninsula.It is crucial for the US to handle the Taiwan question with extra prudence, unequivocally oppose "Taiwan independence", and support China's peaceful reunification, Xi said.In the South China Sea region, the US should not get involved in bilateral disputes over the relevant islands and the reefs of the Nansha Islands, and neither should it aid or abet making provocations, Xi said.China does not allow conflict or turmoil on the Korean Peninsula, and it will not sit idly by when its strategic security and core interests are under threat, Xi said.In Lima, the two presidents reiterated — and stated readiness to further uphold — the seven-point common understanding on the guiding principles for China-US relations.Worked out under the two leaders' instructions, the principles are treating each other with respect, finding a way to live alongside each other peacefully, maintaining open lines of communication, preventing conflict, upholding the United Nations Charter, cooperating in areas of shared interest, and responsibly managing competitive aspects of the relationship.Anthony Moretti, department head and an associate professor of the Communication and Organizational Leadership Department at Robert Morris University in the US state of Pennsylvania, said, "The US and China remain the best partners when it comes to solving vexing challenges like climate change, food insecurity, preparing to fight the next pandemic and more."But Washington must adopt a respectful tone in its rhetoric," Moretti added. "China has made clear time and again that mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation are at the heart of its global agenda. The US can — and should — endorse a similar philosophy."Analysts noted that over the past four years, the China-US relationship, which went through ups and downs, remains stable on the whole.More than 20 communication mechanisms have been restarted or established, and positive achievements have been made in areas such as diplomacy, security, economy, trade, fiscal affairs, finance, military, counternarcotics, law enforcement, agriculture, climate change and people-to-people exchanges.In Lima, Xi underscored that "it is worthwhile to review the experiences of the past four years and draw inspirations from them".He listed seven items as lessons that should be learned: to have a correct strategic perception, to match words with actions, to treat each other as equals, not to challenge red lines and paramount principles, to conduct more dialogue and cooperation, to respond to the expectations of the people, and to step forward to shoulder the responsibilities of major countries.Xiaohua Yang, a professor of international business and founding director of the University of San Francisco's Center for Business Studies and Innovation, said that Xi made it clear at the Lima summit that China continues to believe the relationship is pivotal to the peace and prosperity of the whole world."Xi set a forward-looking tone in the US-China relationship — a stable and cooperative US-China relationship benefits the whole world, not just these two countries; decoupling, building up walls and being confrontational is not the solution," she said.

As President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to Donald Trump on Thursday on his election as United States president, observers said that Beijing is urging Washington to tackle China-US ties with a cool head and offer the rest of the world a sense of predictability.In the message, Xi pointed out that history has shown how cooperation between China and the US can bring benefits to both sides, while rivalry can bring harm."A China-US relationship with stable, healthy and sustainable development is in line with the common interests of the two countries and the expectations of the international community," Xi said.It is hoped that the two sides will uphold the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, strengthen dialogue and communication, properly manage differences and expand mutually beneficial cooperation, he said.Xi added that the two sides should find the right way for China and the US to get along in the new era, for the benefit of both countries as well as the world.Also on Thursday, Vice-President Han Zheng sent a message to J.D. Vance, congratulating him on his election as US vice-president.Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the Department for American Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, noted that Xi's congratulatory message reflects the importance Beijing attaches to the development of China-US ties.Through the message, "China once again underscored the significance of keeping China-US ties stable, and it pointed to the fact that the international community is looking forward to seeing the stability of the relationship", she said."In the recent past, both sides have demonstrated their readiness to keeping the relationship away from turbulence, and have achieved some results. They should carry on this momentum and move toward the same goal," she added.This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of China-US diplomatic relations. And the two nations have conducted fruitful cooperation in areas including people-to-people exchanges, counternarcotics and tackling climate change.China is now the third-largest export market for American commodities, and the US is China's third-largest trading partner, according to the Chinese embassy in the US.Observers also raised concerns that some hawkish politicians in the US may press ahead with efforts to seek economic "decoupling" with China and increase their confrontational stance on security-related issues, such as increasing tension in the Taiwan Strait.At a regular news conference of the Foreign Ministry on Thursday in Beijing, reporters raised questions about topics such as China-US trade tensions, the Taiwan question and the future of China-US ties."I would like to reiterate that there will be no winners in a trade war and it is not beneficial to the world," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.She noted that the Taiwan question is the "most important and most sensitive" issue in China-US relations."It is China's consistent and clear position that it firmly opposes any form of official contacts between the US and Taiwan," she said."The US government needs to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, and prudently handle Taiwan-related issues, so as to avoid severe damage to China-US relations and cross-Strait peace and stability," she added.When asked what would it take to prevent the ties from veering into a disastrous scenario such as a potential hot war, Jeffrey Sachs, a professor of economics and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, pointed to China's core security interests."The US has to recognize China's core security interests, including Taiwan as part of China, and the security of China's sea lanes in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean," he said."If the US would recognize and respect China's core security interests, relations would improve markedly," he added.

Stable China-United States business ties would contribute to the security and stability of global industrial supply chains, fostering a favorable policy environment for collaboration between companies from both sides, said market watchers and business executives on Wednesday.10月9日，市场观察人士和企业高管们表示，稳定的中美经贸关系将有助于全球产业链供应链的安全和稳定，为双方企业的合作创造有利的政策环境。China's Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday that China has called on the US to promptly lift sanctions on Chinese companies and enhance the business environment for its firms operating in the US.10月8日，根据中国商务部消息，中方敦促美方及早取消对中国企业的制裁，并改善中国企业在美营商环境。During a phone call with US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo on the same day, China's Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao expressed serious concerns over US policies on semiconductors, targeting China, and restrictions on Chinese intelligent connected vehicles.中国商务部部长王文涛当天同美国商务部长雷蒙多举行通话，重点就美对华半导体政策、限制中国网联车等表达严正关切。It is necessary to clarify national security boundaries in the economic and trade fields, as it is conducive to maintaining the security and stability of global industrial supply chains and creating a favorable policy environment for cooperation between the business communities from the two countries, Wang stressed.王文涛强调，厘清经贸领域国家安全边界尤为必要，有利于维护全球产业链供应链安全稳定，为两国业界合作创造良好政策环境。This conversation was part of the institutional communication arrangement between the commerce authorities of both countries, said the Ministry of Commerce.商务部表示，本次通话是两国商务部门机制性沟通安排。As many global industries, such as electronics, automotive and pharmaceuticals, rely on components and materials sourced from both China and the US, a stable relationship can minimize disruptions and prevent production delays and supply shortages in many business areas, said Wang Zhongmei, a researcher at the Institute of World Economy of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.上海国际问题研究院世界经济研究所研究员王中美表示，由于电子、汽车和制药等许多全球产业都依赖来自中国和美国的零部件和材料，稳定的关系可以最大限度地减少干扰，防止许多业务领域出现生产延误和供应短缺。Zhang Yongjun, a researcher at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges in Beijing, warned that given various factors such as the upcoming US election in early November, it is critical to view Sino-US economic and trade relations with caution.中国国际经济交流中心研究员张永军表示，考虑到即将到来的11月初美国大选等各种因素，谨慎看待中美经贸关系至关重要。In the short term, there will be challenges, but in the long run, the trend of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and the US remains unchangeable, said Zhang.张永军认为，短期内会有挑战，但从长远来看，中美互利合作的趋势不会改变。"For US companies, China is an indispensable market," he added. "If trade tensions escalate, these companies may once again urge the US government to adopt a more proactive and balanced economic and trade policy. Business needs can, to a certain extent, influence government actions."“对于美国公司来说，中国是不可或缺的市场。”张永军补充，“如果贸易紧张局势升级，这些公司可能会再次敦促美国政府采取更积极、更平衡的经贸政策。商业需求可在一定程度上影响政府的行动。”According to the 2024 Kearney FDI (foreign direct investment) Confidence Index, reflecting investors' expectations for FDI over the next three years, China's global ranking has risen from seventh to third place.根据科尔尼发布的2024年外商直接投资信心指数（反映投资者对未来三年外商直接投资的预期），中国的全球排名从第七位上升到第三位。"Multinational companies initially looked at China as a supplier and then as a huge market. But now, increasingly, we are looking at China as an innovation center," said Andrew Wu, general manager of the China branch of US-based commercial data and analytics firm Dun & Bradstreet.“跨国公司最初将中国视为供应商，后来又将其视为一个巨大的市场。但现在，我们越来越多地将中国视为创新中心。”美国商业数据和分析公司邓白氏中国区总裁吴广宇说。Also viewing China as crucial to its global business strategy, Willie Tan, CEO of Skechers China, South Korea and Southeast Asia, said that despite external challenges, China remains a crucial market for global brands. Its vast consumer base, strategic importance in global supply chains and ongoing commitment to reform and innovation create significant opportunities.斯凯奇中国、韩国及东南亚首席执行官陈伟利也认为中国对其全球业务战略至关重要。他表示，尽管面临外部挑战，但中国仍然是全球品牌的重要市场。其庞大的消费群体、在全球供应链中的战略重要性以及对改革和创新的持续投入创造了重大机遇。With over 3,500 stores in China, the US footwear brand plans to continue market expansion in the coming years.该美国鞋类品牌在中国拥有3500多家专卖店，计划在未来几年继续扩大市场。Mark Jaffe, CEO of the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, said that no one wants to halt cooperation and exchange between the two countries. China and the US have already established long-term partnerships in fields such as artificial intelligence and pharmaceuticals.美国大纽约商会会长马克·加菲认为，没有人愿意停止两国之间的合作与交流，中美两国已在人工智能和制药等领域建立了长期合作伙伴关系。In the face of increasingly intense global competition, Jaffe said it will be necessary for the two sides to further expand and deepen trade relations in the future.加菲表示，面对日益激烈的全球竞争，双方未来有必要进一步扩大和深化贸易关系。In the first eight months of 2024, the US remained China's third-largest trading partner, with the total trade value between the two countries reaching 3.15 trillion yuan ($446.21 billion), up 4.4 percent year-on-year and accounting for 11 percent of China's total foreign trade value, statistics from the General Administration of Customs showed.海关总署数据显示，2024年前8个月，美国仍是中国第三大贸易伙伴，两国贸易总值达3.15万亿元人民币（约4462.1亿美元），同比增长4.4%，占中国外贸总值的11%。promptlyadv. 迅速地；立即地sanctionn. 制裁indispensableadj. 不可或缺的semiconductorn. 半导体pharmaceuticaladj. 制药的

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – According to the CCP's propaganda, during his first secret visit to Communist China in July 1971, “driven by the tide of the times,” Kissinger” wielded the first pickaxe to break the ice between China and the US.” The CCP defines Kissinger as the third batch of “Old Friends of the Chinese People.” Thus, Kissinger becomes synonymous with "China expert" and "bridge" in Sino-US relations...

In the face of growing security challenges, this episode discusses what is on the agenda for Taiwan's new leadership. Taiwan is not merely a democracy; it is an outstanding example of a democracy. The Economist Intelligence Unit's 2023 Democracy Index ranked Taiwan top in Asia and 10th globally (ahead of the UK and US) among the 167 countries and territories it surveys. Like all democratic countries, Taiwan's electoral preoccupations are a mix of domestic and foreign. But the inauguration of the incoming administration has been transformed into a global security event, because Taiwan is at the centre of a looming confrontation between the US and the People's Republic of China. In this episode, host Neil Melvin is joined by Dr Winnie King, Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol, and Thomas des Garets Geddes, RUSI Associate Fellow, to discuss how the inauguration of a new government in Taiwan will affect cross-strait relations, and how might this play into the larger story of the Sino-US confrontation. What can we expect next?

The United States is intensifying its tech war against China. In yet another act of "economic coercion" targeting Chinese companies, the US has revoked export licenses that allowed tech giants such as Qualcomm and Intel to supply chips to Chinese telecommunications equipment company Huawei, which Washington has already put on a trade restriction "entity list" since 2019 on the grounds that it poses national security risks to the US.美国正在加紧对中国的科技战争。在针对中国公司的又一次“经济胁迫”行动中，美国撤销了允许高通和英特尔等科技巨头向中国电信设备公司华为供应芯片的出口许可证，而华盛顿已经自2019年起将华为列入贸易限制“实体名单”，理由是华为对美国构成国家安全风险。The move comes after the Chinese company unveiled its first AI-enabled laptop last month, and announced that its first-quarter profits surged more than fivefold year-on-year, making some China hawks in Washington to complain that previous US crackdowns on the Chinese company have not yielded the intended results. They have pushed for the US administration to further tighten the screws on the company.此前，这家中国公司上个月推出了首款支持人工智能的笔记本电脑，并宣布其第一季度利润同比增长五倍以上。这让在华盛顿的一些鹰派人士抱怨说，美国此前对中国公司的打压并未取得预期效果。他们要求美国政府进一步收紧对中国公司的限制。Speaking before the House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo made no bones about Washington's abuse of export controls. "I tell semiconductor companies that they can't sell their chips to China," she told the panel.5月8日，商务部长吉娜·雷蒙多在众议院拨款委员会上公开阐述了华盛顿滥用出口管制的行为。她对小组成员说：“我告诉半导体公司，他们不能把芯片卖给中国。”The new sanctions will certainly undermine the smooth development of Sino-US relations, which the two sides have managed to stabilize since last year through a series of high-level visits. The latest move not only runs counter to the World Trade Organization rules, but also belies the commitment the US has repeatedly made to China that it does not seek to "decouple" from the country or to contain its development.自去年以来，中美双方通过一系列高层互访成功稳定了两国关系，新的制裁措施必将破坏两国关系的顺利发展。最新举措不仅违背了世界贸易组织的规则，也有悖于美国多次对中国做出的承诺，即美国不寻求与中国“脱钩”，也不寻求遏制中国的发展。The fact that the latest US restrictions are targeted at purely civilian consumer chip products exported to China also makes the promise that US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made during her visits to China that US national security actions in the economic sphere are narrowly scoped and based on clearly defined national security concerns sound empty.美国最新的限制措施针对的是出口到中国的纯民用消费芯片产品，这也使得美国财政部长珍妮特·耶伦在访华期间做出的承诺，即美国在经济领域的国家安全行动范围狭窄，且基于明确界定的国家安全关切，沦为空谈。There is increasing evidence that the US is trying to erect a technological "iron curtain" to isolate China from the rest of the world in the realm of high technologies.While unveiling US International Cyberspace and Digital Policy Strategy at a major tech forum in San Francisco on Monday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken declared that the US intends to enhance international technology collaborations — or "digital solidarity" — with its allies and partners in technological advancements ranging from artificial intelligence to quantum computing, which obviously is aimed at countering China's progress in these fields."越来越多的证据表明，美国正试图在高科技领域设置一道技术“铁幕”，将中国与世界其他国家隔离开来。5月6日，美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯在旧金山举行的一个重要科技论坛上公布美国国际网络空间和数字政策战略时宣称，美国打算在从人工智能到量子计算等技术进步领域加强与盟国和伙伴的国际技术合作，即“数字团结”，这显然是旨在对抗中国在这些领域的进步。"Today's revolutions in technology are at the heart of our competition with geopolitical rivals. They pose a real test to our security," he said, adding "it is critical that we work with trusted vendors and exclude untrustworthy ones from the ecosystem".“今天的技术革命是我们与地缘政治对手竞争的核心。它们对我们的安全构成了真正的考验，”他补充说，“我们必须与值得信赖的供应商合作，将不值得信赖的供应商排除在生态系统之外，这是至关重要的。”The US has not achieved its goal of impeding China's technological advances with its sweeping technology restrictions in the past. It will not do so in the future.美国过去通过全面的技术限制阻碍中国的技术进步，但这一目标并未实现。今后也不会实现。semiconductor半导体sanction制裁US International Cyberspace and Digital Policy Strategy美国国际网络空间和数字政策战略

Transpacific Cartographies: Narrating the Contemporary Chinese Diaspora in the U.S. (Rutgers University Press, 2023) examines how contemporary Chinese diasporic narratives address the existential loss of home for immigrant communities at a time of global precarity and amid rising Sino-US tensions. Focusing on cultural productions of the Chinese diaspora from the 1990s to the present -- including novels by the Sinophone writers Yan Geling (The Criminal Lu Yanshi), Shi Yu (New York Lover), Chen Qian (Listen to the Caged Bird Sing), and Rong Rong (Notes of a Couple), as well as by the Anglophone writer Ha Jin (A Free Life; A Map of Betrayal), selected TV shows (Beijinger in New York; The Way We Were), and online literature – Dr. Melody Yunzi Li argues that the characters in these stories create multilayered maps that transcend the territorial boundaries that make finding a home in a foreign land a seemingly impossible task. In doing so, these “maps” outline a transpacific landscape that reflects the psycho-geography of homemaking for diasporic communities. Intersecting with and bridging Sinophone studies, Chinese American studies, and diaspora studies and drawing on theories of literary cartography, Transpacific Cartographies demonstrates how these “maps” offer their readers different paths for finding a sense of home no matter where they are.

China and the United States are strengthening financial cooperation through the China-US Financial Working Group, a positive and essential step for preventing global financial crises and injecting stability into the fragile global economy, experts said.They commented after the China-US Financial Working Group held its fourth meeting on Tuesday in Washington. The meeting was co-chaired by Xuan Changneng, deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, and Brent Neiman, assistant secretary of the US Department of the Treasury, with financial regulators participating.The PBOC, China's central bank, said on Wednesday that the two sides had "professional, pragmatic, candid and constructive" discussions on topics such as monetary policy and financial stability, financial supervision cooperation, institutional arrangements in financial markets, cross-border payment and data, sustainable finance, anti-money laundering efforts, countering the financing of terrorism and financial infrastructure.The working group was established by the two sides in September to strengthen communication on financial topics.US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with the Chinese delegation, and the two sides agreed to continue to maintain communication, according to the PBOC.The meeting came shortly after Yellen visited China earlier this month, when the two sides agreed to continue to conduct exchanges on financial stability, sustainable finance, anti-money laundering and other issues under the framework of the financial working group.Liu Ying, a researcher at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies of Renmin University of China, said the meeting was of great significance in delivering a positive signal that China-US economic and financial ties are steadily recovering.Liu said: "In recent years, the relationship between China and the US has experienced significant fluctuations. The fact that the two sides are continuously engaging through the financial working group indicates that their bilateral relationship is moving toward stabilization and recovery, bringing a certain level of stability and certainty to the world economy."The China-US meeting came at a time when global stock and bond markets are under pressure, as recent US inflation reports showed persistent price pressures and Fed officials have hinted that US monetary policy may need to be restrictive for longer.Liu Chunsheng, an associate professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics' School of International Trade and Economics, said that against such a backdrop, it is of particular significance for China and the US to strengthen exchanges concerning monetary policies and financial stability."This will help the two sides better understand each other's monetary policy moves, strengthen mutual trust and work together to address any potential financial stresses," Liu said.According to the US Department of the Treasury, the two sides held a technical exchange in March to discuss each jurisdiction's approach to financial stability oversight and make plans for technical exercises on financial stability.Liu from Renmin University of China said that if the US does not lower interest rates, that could exacerbate global financial fragility by intensifying the pressures of local currency depreciation and capital outflows in other economies. It also could sustain the stress within the US banking system and increase the vulnerability of elevated US government debt, she said.Therefore, the world's two biggest economies "need to and must" strengthen communication for macroeconomic policy coordination, Liu said, adding that the US side should keep China updated on its monetary policy decisions, while the Chinese side should help ensure that the US avoids implementing beggar-thy-neighbor monetary policies.Also on Tuesday, the China-US Economic Working Group held its fourth meeting, during which officials from both sides exchanged views on topics including the macroeconomic situations of the two countries as well as the world, balanced growth, and future communication arrangements, the Ministry of Finance said on Wednesday.China expressed concerns over US trade and economic restrictions against China and provided further responses on the production capacity issue, the ministry said.

We speak to Dr. Darren Lim, an expert in international relations and a Senior Lecturer at ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences, Australia that discusses the ramifications of Sino-US technology competition and its ongoing effects on this region, including Malaysia. We also explore Australia's evolving discourse on China and its consequential impact on the nation's foreign policy. Additionally, our conversation delves into the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Zhao Hai joins us to discuss China's views on the Russia-Ukraine war and its broader implications for China. Dr. Zhao provides an assessment of how he thinks China perceives the evolving situation on the ground, emphasizing China's concerns about the risk of further escalation between Russia and the West, potentially involving the use of nuclear weapons. He argues that the Ukraine crisis has heightened U.S.-Russia competition and speaks to how China views the conflict as a sign of the world order shifting towards one of multi-polarity. He also shared his assessment of the United States engaging in enhanced proxy warfare in Ukraine that could be used in the Indo-Pacific in the future.   Dr. Zhao is the director of the International Politics Program at the National Institute for Global Strategy and research fellow at the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). Before joining CASS, he was a research fellow at the National Strategy Institute at Tsinghua University. His research interests are Sino-US strategic relations, geopolitics in East Asia, and international security cooperation. Dr. Zhao holds a PhD in international history from the University of Chicago and a Master's degree in Asia-Pacific Studies from Peking University. The views he shared on the podcast were his personal views.

Chinese nationals have been warned against entering the U.S via an airport in Washington as dozens of Chinese students with proper documents have faced groundless accusations, harassment, and, in some cases, even forcible deportation upon arrival. What's behind the unfair treatment? How will it affect the already dampened ties between the two countries? And how helpful is it at a time when the two countries are struggling to move closer?Host Tu Yun joins Harvey Dzodin, Senior Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization; Dr. Edward Lehman, Founder and Managing Director of China-based law firm Lehman, Lee & Xu, and Dr. Qu Qiang, Research Fellow of Beijing Foreign Studies University for an in-depth look at the issue on this episode of Chat Lounge.

People-to-people exchanges, especially educational ones, play a key role in the bigger picture of United States-China relations, and sometimes the events with the most impact "occur quietly", said an expert on Sino-US educational cooperation.中美教育合作专家表示，人文交流特别是教育交流在中美关系大局中发挥着关键作用，有时影响深远的事件反而会“悄然发生”。"I'm hopeful that as we continue the dialogue in 2024, we will see even more progress that will help to sustain and support the continuation of educational exchanges and cooperation between the two countries," said Denis Simon, a distinguished fellow at the Washington-based Institute for China-America Studies, in an interview with China Daily.华盛顿中美研究所杰出研究员丹尼斯·西蒙(Denis Simon)在接受《中国日报》时采访表示：“我希望，2024年的持续对话能带来更多进展，这将有助于支持和助力两国教育交流与合作”。Simon most recently served as a clinical professor of global business and technology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler Business School. He also was vice-president and executive vice-chancellor of Duke Kunshan University, a joint venture of Duke University in the US, Wuhan University in Hubei province and the city of Kunshan, Jiangsu province, from 2015 to 2020.西蒙最近担任北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校凯南-弗拉格勒商学院全球商业和技术临床教授。2015年至2020年，他还担任美国杜克大学、湖北省武汉大学和江苏省昆山市合资的昆山杜克大学副校长兼常务副校长。Simon emphasized the role of exchanges in overall US-China relations. "If we can maintain the progress and maintain the discussion, I'm hopeful that the education relationship can insulate itself to some degree from these larger problems," he said.西蒙强调了交流在整个美中关系中的作用。他说：“如果交流能持续推进下去，两国间教育关系能够一定程度上免受更大问题的影响。”"Sometimes these kinds of people-to-people diplomacy occur quietly. They're not accompanied by a lot of fanfare and noise, but they accomplish a great deal," he said.他说：“有时这种民间外交会悄然进行。阵仗虽不大，但会取得大成果。”Simon said the first post-COVID US-China Higher Education Dialogue, held in New York in September, was "extremely successful".The event, co-hosted by the Institute of International Education and the China Education Association for International Exchange, involved about 15 Chinese universities and a similar number of US universities.西蒙表示，今年9月在纽约举行的新冠疫情后首届中美高等教育对话“非常成功”。此次活动由国际教育协会和中国教育国际交流协会共同主办，涉及约15所中国大学和约15所美国大学。"The discussions covered every aspect of the bilateral education relationship", including undergraduate education, graduate education, university research collaboration and also policy issues like visa issues that are affecting the bilateral education exchange, Simon said."I think that we can keep talking and have dialogues like this and have them conducted in such an open and frank way. That gives me great hope," he said, adding that relations involving education are still in a "transitional phase".西蒙说，“讨论涵盖了双边教育关系的各个方面”，包括本科教育、研究生教育、大学研究合作以及影响双边教育交流的签证问题等政策问题。我认为中美可以继续进行这样的对话交流，并一以贯之如此开放和坦诚的风格。这给了我很大的希望，但不可否认，中美两国的教育关系仍处于“过渡阶段”。"We've gone from a height of having 370,000 Chinese students in the US before COVID, and now we're down to about 289,000," Simon said,"we're starting to see some recovery, of course, in this post-COVID era. But it's yet unclear whether or not we're going to go back to the good old days of… big numbers wanting to come to the United States."西蒙说：“新冠疫情爆发之前，在美国留学的中国学生人数最多为37万人，现在已降至28.9万人左右。当然，在后新冠时代，已经呈现一定复苏。但目前还不清楚我们是否会回到过去的美好时光，不确定是否还会有大量人想要来到美国”。On the other hand, the number of US students in China "is really limited", he said, noting that the number peaked at about 15,000 around 2011, while by 2022 it was around 400. "The ability of our two countries to understand one another really does depend on the young people who are crossing the Pacific, learning about each other's cultures and countries, learning to speak the languages," he said.另一方面，他表示，在中国的美国留学生人数“确实有限”，该数值于 2011年左右达到峰值，约为15,000人，而到2022年，仅有400人左右。但两国互相理解很大程度上正是依靠这些漂洋过海去到对方国家的年轻人，他们学习对方国家的语言、学习了解彼此的国家和文化都能极大促进两国互相理解。"And if they don't achieve that, then the United States, in particular, is going to suffer because we will not have a generation of professionals, whether they're in business, government or academia, who have a deep understanding of the situation in China, and that does not bode well for the long term," he added.“如果他们做不到这一点，美国会尤其遭受损失，因为美国会失去一大批对在经济、政治、学术方面对中国国情有深入了解的专业人士，从长远来看这可不是好兆头。During the November summit between President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden in San Francisco, Xi said that China was ready to invite 50,000 young people from the US to participate in exchange and study programs in China over the next five years.Simon said it was "a wonderful gesture" by China's president.Because I think he, too, realizes, as do many, many of my Chinese friends, that Americans need to have access to China and need to have an experience living and working with Chinese counterparts.""And now there's a whole new generation of students who want to study China in terms of its global role," Simon said. "That means they want to understand more about China's environment policy, China's health policy, China's policies about food security, and all sorts of things that influence the way China interfaces with the rest of the world."西蒙说：“与过去不同，美国的新一代学生对中国在全球发展中扮演角色很感兴趣，因此想进一步了解中国的环境政策、卫生政策、粮食安全政策，以及影响中国与世界其他国家交往方式的各种事情。”peak英/piːk/ 美/piːk/n.山峰，顶峰；v.达到顶峰

2023年11月29日，美国政治家，外交官基辛格去世，享年100岁。习近平说：他是中国人民的老朋友。他1971年两次秘密访华，为 “尼克松访华” 做铺垫。多年来，他呼吁中美和平共处，成为中美友谊的象征。不过，很多人对他褒贬不一，最大的因素就是他在越南战争中指导的对柬埔寨的轰炸。今天，我们就来看看基辛格的一生。 On November 29th, 2023, American politician, diplomat Henry Kissinger passed away at the age of 100. Xi Jinping said that: He (Kissinger) is an old friend of the Chinese people. His two secret visits to China paved the way for Nixon's visit. Along the many years, he advocated for China and America to coexist peacefully. He has become the symbol of Sino-US friendship. However, many people remain critical of him, the biggest factor being that he directed "secret bombings" in Cambodia in the Vietnam War. Today, let's look at Henry Kissinger's life. ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Visit merch store ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate

I just gave a talk to a section of the New Zealand Institute of International Affairs—a great group of a couple dozen Gen Z'ers, at a nice little bar in Wellington. What started out as shooting the shit about foreign policy turned into a live show of the podcast.In this live show, I put three propositions on the table—Un-Diplomatic regulars will be at least somewhat familiar with all these themes: 1) Sino-US rivalry is not a struggle for hegemony or domination; 2) US grand strategy is one of primacy, and the requirements of primacy today conflict with the requirements of peace in Asia and the Pacific; 3) The root-cause of our problems with China is inequality—at multiple levels, but especially within China.Along the way, we talk about policy thinking as a practitioner versus as an IR scholar; speaking truth to power; job prospects for Gen Z; why New Zealand's priority ought to be preventing another Gallipoli; and more! Shout out to Tom Preston and Celia McDowell for putting this on.Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com

When economies go through structural upheaval, inevitably some people win and some lose. The causes of this are complex, but people tend to prefer simplicity over complexity—and look for a single scapegoat to blame. Foreigners make an ideal scapegoat. Sino-US relations represent this trend. The US is complaining about “unfair” Chinese national champions. China is complaining about US-led efforts to “suppress” China. Scapegoating distracts from more serious structural problems in each economy.

Washington Post foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius speaks with former deputy national security advisor, Matthew Pottinger, about the rising tensions in the Sino-US relationship, China's role in the global economy and the future of Taiwan.

Interview with Former Chinese senior colonel: "Iran must not develop nuclear weapons"Former Chinese Senior Military Colonel and China Forum expert at Tsinghua University Zhou Bo sat with the INSS' Tuvia Gering to talk about China's “new security architecture for the Middle East." What does it imply for America's current security framework in the region? Most importantly, what will China do if Iran acquires a nuclear weapon or is attacked by an Israeli-US-Gulf coalition; will Beijing support their efforts to prevent proliferation, or is the Sino-US rivalry so intense that China is willing to support Iran in its hostility toward the West, the same way it supports Russia in its war of aggression in Ukraine?

Weiss's China expert, Mike Edwards, summarizes the current state of Sino-US relations and the potential consequences of Russia's war with Ukraine.In recent weeks, the rhetoric exchanged by US and Chinese leaders has reached a feverish pitch.

G3 is delighted to have Weiss's China expert, Mike Edwards on Green Marbles this week. Mike has plenty to say on where things stand between the US and China, China's relationship with Russia, and what all of this implies for markets in the coming months.

Auslin   Format: Kindle Edition (Originally posted May 21, 2021) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08563RW9H/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 The Indo-Pacific is fast becoming the world's dominant region. Now, as it grows in power and wealth, geopolitical competition has reemerged, threatening future stability not merely in Asia but around the globe. China is aggressive and uncooperative, and increasingly expects the world to bend to its wishes. The focus on Sino-US competition for global power has obscured "Asia's other great game": the rivalry between Japan and China. A modernizing India risks missing out on the energies and talents of millions of its women, potentially hampering the broader role it can play in the world. And in North Korea, the most frightening question raised by Kim Jong-un's pursuit of the ultimate weapon is also the simplest: Can he control his nukes? In Asia's New Geopolitics: Essays on Reshaping the Indo-Pacific, Michael R. Auslin examines these and other key issues transforming the Indo-Pacific and the broader world. He also explores the history of American strategy in Asia, from the 18th century through today. Taken together, Auslin's essays convey the richness and diversity of the region: with more than three billion people, the Indo-Pacific contains over half of the global population, including the world's two most populous nations, India and China. In a riveting final chapter, Auslin imagines a war between America and China in a bid for regional hegemony and what this conflict might look like.
