The Korean Peninsula’s peace prospects depends on the sincerity of the U.S.

Such a mechanism will reduce the possibility of conflict.

In sanctioning a singular department of the Chinese military to place pressure on Russia, the U.S. has made a diplomatic error that threatens two of its critical bilateral relationships.

To the consternation of Chinese policymakers, the United States has enhanced its commitment to the security of Taiwan at times of Cross-Strait tensions. Recent initiatives aimed at strengthening U.S.-Taiwan ties point to a broad consensus in Washington in favor of deeper engagement with Taipei – but at the same time, Trump’s “America First” instincts are getting in the way.

While the prospect of a joint-Korean bid for the 2032 Olympic Games is attractive, a number of challenges could keep this proposal from becoming a reality.

The U.S. previously sought to constrain “China’s Rise,” but now may have to accept the country as an equal partner in solving the world’s greatest challenges.

The U.S. State Department announced Thursday that it would impose sanctions against the Chinese military for its purchase of Russian military equipment. In the official statement, American diplomatic officials noted, "Today's actions are not intended to undermine the military capabilities or combat readiness of any country but rather to impose costs on Russia in response to its interference in the United States election process, its unacceptable behavior in eastern Ukraine, and other malign activities."

With the all-important midterm elections nearing, and the real prospect that Democrats will take control of the House and (less likely) the Senate, many are wondering if such a change would herald any substantive change in the United States’ policy toward China. The short answer, David Shambaugh argues, is no.

My travels along the China-DPRK border have given me hope for North Korea’s denuclearization.

The West is declining and China is rising, and the Chinese model is an example to developing countries all over the world, but unlike the West, China is peaceful and benevolent and does not need to boast.
