Prime Minister Abe has taken merely the first step in a potentially long reconciliation process. However, both countries should put the indefensible past behind them. Making Asia more stable and peaceful would benefit America as well. Both China and Japan should recognize that shared interests in the future are more important than bitter antagonisms of the past.

The North Korea Problem has become a point of dialogue between China and the United States with President Trump declaring that "it's not so easy." As China continues its economic development and global influence, the U.S. President Donald Trump has much to learn from China's experiences.

President Trump’s preoccupation with domestic issues and torpor in filling key foreign policy positions has left America without a coherent Asia-Pacific strategy.

Trump’s “America First” strategy is really not that different from the self-serving strategy the US has always pursued.

The concept of sovereignty is a keystone of the international system. It’s also one of the most abused concepts in international relations.

It is well known that tremendous differences exist between China and the US, the world’s two most important countries. How can this gap be breached?

Just as President Donald Trump threatens to gut the State Department and Agency for International Development (USAID) budgets for development and foreign aid, China has been stepping up its own international development promotion efforts.

“Chinese ideas” such as building a global community of shared future and the “Belt & Road” initiative represent the global trends and aims for win-win outcomes. They are making tractions.

China and the U.S. can create a kind of relationship that has never been seen before.
