Het is zover. Commissievoorzitter Ursula von der Leyen en Antonio Costa, voorzitter van de Europese Raad zijn in China. Een ultra-korte top is het, ter ere van 50 jaar diplomatieke betrekkingen. Maar zo feestelijk wordt het niet. Over het algemeen wordt er weinig van de reis verwacht. Volgens Von der Leyen staan we op een 'kantelpunt' in de relaties. Xi Jinping heeft het over 'two big guys' op het wereldtoneel Verder: een update uit Oekraïne en Europarlementariër Thijs Reuten uit Duitsland.

There, the genocide and enslavement of the Uyghur people are ongoing. The tactics employed are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but the results are far more insidious because of the technology used, most of it stolen from Silicon Valley. In the words of Turkel, “Communist China has created an open prison-like environment through the most intrusive surveillance state that the world has ever known while committing genocide and enslaving the Uyghurs on the world's watch.” As a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist who now serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal story to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US, where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and advocated strong policy responses from the liberal democracies to address atrocity crimes against his people. The Uyghur crisis is turning into the greatest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century, a systematic cleansing of an entire race of people in the millions. Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel's personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China

Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP--and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.
An audio recording of President Donald Trump was recently leaked, in which the president claimed to have threatened Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping that he would bomb Beijing if China invaded Taiwan.The leak came as tensions continue to grow in the Asia-Pacific region, with the Chinese regime acting with ever more aggression and increasing its air and sea incursions into Taiwan's air defense identification and exclusive economic zones.Let's listen to the audio recording, and then go through the details of what actions both Taiwan and China are currently engaged in.
Expert on China-Iran relations William Figueroa joins PTO to talk about the relationship between China and Iran in the wake of the twelve day war between Iran and Israel. We chatted about why China's backing for Iran has been - and is likely to continue to be - relatively limited as China balances support for Iran with its other interest in West Asia. We also talked about the extent to which Xi Jinping and the Chinese leadership are happy to see the US bogged down in the Middle East, and we spoke about whether the scale of Israeli violence and expansionism may lead China to take a more overtly pro-Iran position.
Chinas Regime kontrolliert alles. Die Bürger, die Wirtschaft, das reale und das digitale Leben. Es ist der größte und modernste Überwachungsstaat, den es je gegeben hat. Wer hier an die Macht will oder gar Opposition führt, riskiert mehr als sein eigenes Leben. Wie der Überwachungsstaat China funktioniert und weshalb selbst die Tage des chinesischen Diktators Xi Jinping gezählt sind, erklärt Sinologin Susanne Weigelin Schwiedrzik in dieser Folge von "Thema des Tages".

China and the European Union have pledged to promote cooperation on trade and investment at the 25th China-EU summit. The two sides have also issued a joint declaration, reaffirming policy continuity to step up efforts in tackling climate change. Meeting EU leaders in Beijing, President Xi Jinping called for providing more certainty for the world through steady China-EU ties.Why does the current international landscape require China and the EU to deepen trust? How can the two sides focus on pragmatic cooperation despite their differences? Host Ding Heng is joined by Dr. Zhou Mi, Senior Research Fellow of Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation; Dr. George Tzogopoulos, Director of EU-China Program at CIFE, a European research organization; Sultan Hali, a Chinese foreign policy analyst and retired Air Force officer in Pakistan.
Head-of-state diplomacy has provided crucial guidance for the development of Sino-US relations. It was the telephone talks between President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart on June 5 that enabled the two countries to keep their trade relations on the right track through their talks in London along with other efforts.国家元首层面的外交为中美关系的发展提供了至关重要的指导。正是6月5日习主席与美国总统之间的电话会谈,使得两国能够在伦敦举行的会谈以及其他一系列努力的共同作用下,将双边贸易关系维持在正轨上。China has been faithfully implementing its part of the outcomes from the framework reached during the London talks. This has laid a foundation for their talks in Stockholm from Sunday to Wednesday.中国一直切实履行了伦敦会谈所达成协议内容中的自身应尽之责。这为从本周日到周三在斯德哥尔摩举行的会谈奠定了基础。Nonetheless, optimism should be tempered. After making initial progress in their negotiations in Geneva and London, the talks in the Swedish capital are likely to address some tough nuts. Not to mention the US has threatened to impose so-called "secondary sanctions" on economies trading with Russia citing the Ukraine crisis. The US also claims to have reached deals with some economies that reportedly contain China-targeted clauses, in an apparent bid to provide itself with more leverages in future trade talks with China.不过,这种乐观情绪还是应该有所收敛。在日内瓦和伦敦的谈判初期取得了进展之后,瑞典首都的谈判可能会触及一些棘手的问题。更不用说美国还威胁要对与俄罗斯进行贸易的经济体实施所谓的“次级制裁”,理由是乌克兰危机。此外,美国还声称已与一些经济体达成协议,这些协议据说包含针对中国的条款,显然是为了在未来的与中国的贸易谈判中为自己争取更多筹码。These issues might not be avoidable in the Stockholm talks, but they must not be impassable barriers if the two sides are to move forward toward the common goal of straightening out their economic and trade relations.这些问题在斯德哥尔摩的谈判中或许难以完全避免,但倘若双方要朝着改善经济和贸易关系这一共同目标迈进,那么这些问题绝不能成为无法逾越的障碍。To create the necessary conditions to ensure the forthcoming talks remain solution-oriented, the two negotiating teams should implement the common understanding the two leaders have reached, which is necessary to guarantee their discussions focus on what really matters in their economic and trade relations.为确保即将举行的谈判始终以解决问题为导向,双方谈判团队应落实两位领导人在会谈中达成的共识,这一共识对于确保双方讨论聚焦于其经济和贸易关系中的真正关键问题至关重要。As President Xi pointed out in his talks with US President Donald Trump last month, for the smooth sailing of China-US relations it is particularly important that the two sides steer clear of disturbances and disruptions.正如习主席上个月与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普会谈时所指出的那样,为了使中美关系能够顺利发展,双方务必避免出现干扰和破坏的情况。Since the two countries have made some progress in their previous talks, they should continue to make good use of the economic and trade consultation mechanism already in place, and seek win-win results in the spirit of equality and respect for each other's concerns, as agreed by the two leaders.鉴于两国在之前的会谈中已取得了一定进展,他们应当继续充分利用现有的经济和贸易协商机制。并且按照两位领导所达成的共识,本着平等和尊重彼此关切的原则,寻求双赢的结果。China has always focused on doing its own things well in its quest for high-quality development, high-standard opening-up and innovation-driven growth.中国一直致力于在自身发展过程中做到最好,以实现高质量发展、高标准开放以及创新驱动型增长。That also provides new opportunities for foreign companies and investors, including those from the US. A recent report by the US-China Business Council suggests that 82 percent of US companies in China reported making a profit last year, underscoring the common interests and potential for cooperation that exist between the two countries.这也为外国公司和投资者(包括来自美国的公司和投资者)提供了新的机遇。美国中国商会近期发布的一份报告指出,82%在华的美国公司去年实现了盈利,这凸显了中美两国之间存在的共同利益以及合作的潜力。That the country's total goods imports and exports in yuan-denominated terms rose to 21.79 trillion yuan ($3.05 trillion) in the first half of 2025, up 2.9 percent year-on-year despite the overall world trade being lackluster clearly shows that China is enhancing its capability to resist the headwinds of protectionism and unilateralism.2025年上半年,该国以人民币计价的货物进出口总额达到21.79万亿元(约合3.05万亿美元),同比增长2.9%,尽管全球贸易总体表现不佳,但这一数据表明中国正在增强抵御保护主义和单边主义逆风的能力。So in the process of recalibrating bilateral trade relations, the US side should rationally view China's development, and recognize the cooperative nature of bilateral relations. It should meet China halfway in that direction in the negotiations.因此,在重新调整双边贸易关系的过程中,美方应当理性看待中国的发展,并认识到双边关系的互利性质。在谈判中,美方应当朝着这个方向做出适当让步。To that end, more efforts should be made to guard against the potential disruptions that may pop up from time to time to prevent them from derailing the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries.为此,应当付出更多努力来防范可能出现的随时可能出现的潜在干扰因素,以防止它们破坏两国之间的互利合作。China is sincere and principled about its cooperation with the US, and it always honors and delivers what has been promised.中国在与美国的合作中秉持着真诚且坚定的原则,并且始终会履行所作出的承诺。For the overall benefit of Sino-US ties, both sides should make good on the agreements reached in Geneva and London, and carry on the practical momentum by enhancing communication in such fields as foreign affairs, economy and trade, and law enforcement to consolidate the consensus, clear up misunderstandings, and strengthen collaboration.为了中美关系的整体利益,双方都应切实履行在日内瓦和伦敦达成的协议,并通过加强外交、经济贸易和执法等领域的沟通来保持当前的良好势头,以巩固共识、消除误解并加强合作。 bilateral trade relationsn.双边贸易关系/ˌbaɪˈlætərəl treɪd rɪˈleɪʃnz/win-win resultsn.双赢结果/ˌwɪnˈwɪn rɪˈzʌlts/

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the way we live and work, and its potential use in military applications could alter the global balance of power. The Chinese Communist Party is taking note of this development. During a Politburo study session focused on AI in April, China's party and state leader Xi Jinping urged a nationwide mobilization to achieve “self-reliance and self-strengthening” in AI. Wendy Chang and Antonia Hmaidi – analysts in the Science, Technology and Innovation Program at MERICS – join Johannes Heller-John to assess China's aims and progress on its self-sufficiency drive in AI. Together with Rebecca Arcesati, Antonia and Wendy have authored our new report “China's drive toward self-reliance in artificial intelligence: from chips to large language models”.

This is part two of our series with Joseph Torigian, author of the definitive biography of Xi Zhongxun. This episode traces the inner world of a man navigating power politics, exile, and reform, and the legacy he left his son, Xi Jinping.

A decade ago, a Chinese company was given the green light to take control of the Darwin port, which is key Australian infrastructure. Now, the Albanese Government is scrambling to get it back in Australian hands, in a move that risks antagonising China, while being welcomed by the United States. Today, veteran defence analyst Alan Dupont, who until recently was the Defence and National Security Advocate for the Northern Territory Government, focused on defence investment in the NT. He explains why the deal was allowed in the first place and whether Chinese control really poses a risk to national security.Featured: Alan Dupont, chief executive of geopolitical risk consultancy The Cognoscenti Group

Robert L. Suettinger examines China's political evolution, from Mao's devastating Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution to Xi Jinping's reversal of market reforms. He underscores the Chinese people's persistent desire for freedom, countered by the regime's repressive surveillance and control.Exploring Hu Yaobang's legacy and the Tiananmen Square protests, Suettinger critiques Beijing's economic policies and surveillance tactics. He questions the sustainability of China's trajectory, weighing its demographic crisis and military ambitions in the Western Pacific, offering insights into its precarious path. Robert Lee Suettinger is a historian of contemporary politics in the People's Republic of China. He spent nearly 24 years in the intelligence and foreign policy bureaucracies of the US federal government. As well as writing a book on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Suettinger's most recent one is entitled The Conscience Of The Party: Hu Yaobang, China' Communist Reformer.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with reports that Nvidia will soon be allowed to again sell its H20 chips in China. Topics include: A win-win deal for Nvidia and the PRC, whether this is the beginning of more rollbacks of existing chip controls as the PRC exerts leverage with rare earth export controls, and Jensen Huang emerging as a bridge between US and PRC leaders. From there: Reports that Trump may be softening his approach to US-China issues, Xi Jinping's busy schedule of public appearances, and checking in on the real estate sector as stimulus hopes are deferred in the wake of this week's readout from the Central Urban Work Conference. At the end: A question on BRICS and the SCO, signs to look for if there is a leadership change in Beijing, and notes from Las Vegas after Yang Hansen becomes one of the biggest stories of NBA Summer League.
China has called for greater economic collaboration with Australia amidst international economic uncertainty. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with China's Premier Li Qiang where the Chinese leader took a veiled swipe at US President Trump's tariff policies.
Asian stocks struggled for direction at the open after US markets had a volatile session amid speculation about the future of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. In tariff news, President Trump dialed down his confrontational tone with China in an effort to secure a summit with counterpart Xi Jinping and a trade deal. Trump also said he would send letters to more than 150 countries notifying them of tariff rates and that the levies imposed could be 10% or 15%. We unpack how trade policy is resonating in APAC markets with Ecaterina Bigos, CIO for Asia ex-Japan Core Investments at AXA Investment Managers. Plus - the S&P 500 bounced as President Trump said he is "not planning" to remove Powell, after a White House official said the president was likely to seek the Fed Chair's ouster soon. Treasury two-year yields, which are more sensitive to imminent Fed moves, slid five basis points to 3.89%. The dollar halted a four-day advance. Softer-than-estimated inflation data also helped fuel the moves on Wednesday, reinforcing bets on Fed rate cuts in 2025. We get reaction to the day's market action from Rich Mullen, Founding Partner and CEO at Pallas Capital Advisors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Xi Jinping can, technically, be China's leader for the rest of his life. But, speculation has mounted that he might be stepping down from power. Is this justified? And if not, how does Xi keep such a tough grip on power?

Nightlife News Breakdown with Dom Knight, joined by Katina Curtis, Canberra bureau chief for The West Australian, who has been covering federal politics for over a decade.
For this episode of Talking Geopolitics, we turn our attention to China, where President Xi Jinping has been busy intensifying a crackdown on high-ranking officials. But although China's president may seem like a permanent feature on the global stage, a shaky Chinese economy and circling rivals means that his rule is far from secure. Geopolitical Futures analyst and China expert, Victoria Herczegh, has been writing about this issue for GPF subscribers on our website, and now she joins host Christian Smith to discuss what lies behind Xi's purges, what keeps him up at night, and what might happen when Xi leaves office.
Anthony Albanese met Xi Jinping for the second time in Beijing on Tuesday. Prior to the meeting, in remarks open to the media, both leaders talked about the need for cooperation, and the Chinese president even reflected on the improved relationship between the two countries. So what do we know about what was discussed behind closed doors? Chief political correspondent Tom McIlroy speaks to Nour Haydar about a diplomatic visit crucial to Australian trade and security – and what Donald Trump might think of it all

Obama White House veteran David Litt joins Joanna Coles to talk about his new book about surviving the age of Trump—and what America's rivals really think about the current president. He explains what is going through Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping's head as they watch Trump from afar and what Trump saw in America that powered him to victory twice. Litt talks about his new book "It's Only Drowning" which he wrote after turning to surfing when the first Trump presidency plunged him into depression. He became hooked on the sport with his Joe Rogan-listening, Trump-voting, brother-in-law, finding a bond with someone he admits he has "nothing in common with." But it led to him realizing what had gone wrong for Democrats and why his party needs to engage with, not retreat from, platforms like Rogan's. Litt explains how the MAGA coalition's anti-authority ethos—rooted not just in politics but in personal psychology—has outpaced the left's ability to tell its story. Hosted on Acast.

Could a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping be on the horizon? Secretary of State Marco Rubio says it's a "high probability." It follows Rubio's meeting with China's top diplomat—details on that, coming up. The Trump administration is working to ban ownership of U.S. farmland by Chinese nationals. But that's just one piece of the bigger picture when it comes to keeping America's food supply safe. The Pentagon is becoming the top stakeholder in the United States' largest rare earths miner. This deal is a key step toward securing America's rare earths supply amid challenges from China. And are trade tensions between the U.S. and Brazil pushing South America's largest economy closer to China? A Brazilian expert says yes—and shares more about China's rising influence in the region. The United States names China a key threat during a meeting of top military chiefs from the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. At the same time, a B-52 bomber made a rare flight this year over the Korean Peninsula.

Texas Flash Flood Tragedy Sparks Grief and Political Blame Game At least 80 people are dead and 40 more are missing after catastrophic July 4th flooding in Texas Hill Country. Among the victims are 10 girls from a Christian summer camp and the camp's heroic owner, Richard Eastland. Despite early and extensive weather warnings, some Democrats blame Trump's NOAA budget cuts for the disaster. Bryan calls these claims factually wrong and morally reprehensible. Trump's Economy Faces Tariff Deadlines and Debt Market Concerns “Liberation Day” tariffs are set to kick in this Wednesday unless trade deals are finalized. While countries like India and the EU ask for exemptions, agriculture remains a sticking point. Meanwhile, the Trump economy shows strength in jobs and wages, but rising debt levels have bond markets on edge. Economist advice: keep personal debt low. Gaza Truce in the Works as Hamas Control Collapses President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu are expected to finalize a ceasefire. A Hamas fighter admits the group has lost command, paychecks have stopped, and Israeli drones now dominate the skies. With clans taking over and Hamas in shambles, Bryan asks what a truce really means when there's no one left to enforce it. Iran Sends Saboteurs Through U.S. Border, Issues Death Warrants Iran's clerics issue fatwas calling for the assassinations of Trump and Netanyahu. U.S. intel warns that 35 Iranian operatives are being smuggled in via Mexican cartels. Customs and Border Protection confirms a terror alert is in effect, centered on southern California. China's Xi Might Be Ill or Facing a Coup China's foreign minister admits Beijing wants the Ukraine war to drag on, shocking European diplomats. At home, Xi Jinping is missing public events, sidelining generals, and delegating power. Analysts suspect serious illness or a power struggle is underway, as Xi's diplomatic blunders pile up. Mexican Protesters Demand Americans Leave Demonstrators in Mexico City call U.S. “digital nomads” an invasion, blaming them for high rents and cultural erosion. Signs read “Americans go home.” Mexico's government defends foreigners, but the protests reflect deepening resentment. UK Opera House Goes Dark When Wind Stops Blowing A British opera house that relies solely on wind power suffers six blackouts during a performance, eventually canceling the show. The story underscores the limits of unreliable green energy, leading Bryan to suggest they rebrand as a House of Blues. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32
