  • BBC News：Hangzhou G20: China's ambitions for global leadership
    BBC News reports: "This weekend's G20 is a demonstration that the one party state decides on a goal, it can call the country to attention and command its people to get behind it....With the global financial crisis, Beijing stopped believing there was something immutable and dependable about the way the western powers had wired the global economy....As others floundered, China began its lightning move up the GDP hierarchy to second place, and simultaneously launched a campaign to move from outsider to central player in global economic governance. Despite the slower growth of recent months, Chinese purpose has not wavered....So this week's PR narrative around the G20 host city is a Hangzhou which balances a glorious imperial past with a glorious innovative future. The sharper strategic narrative around China's G20 moment is about the decline of the West, which began with the 2008 financial crisis, but is now gathering pace amid the distractions of a US presidential election and the disarray in Europe over Brexit, migrants and recession."

  • Bloomberg View：Kerry's Soft Words Blunt U.S. Hard Power in South China Sea
    Bloomberg View comments: "Kerry was asked about China's public indifference to a decision in July from an international tribunal at the Hague that flatly rejected China's claims to the territorial waters of the Philippines in the South China Sea. 'We want to support a code of conduct for the management of the South China Sea,' Kerry said. 'We support diplomacy in an effort to try to resolve this with an understanding that there really is no, quote, 'military solution.' '...There are two things that are remarkable about Kerry's thoughts on this matter. To start, the U.S. position has been that the ruling of the Hague tribunal was not negotiable....More remarkable, though, is Kerry's utterance about military solutions...the Obama administration's primary policy for responding to all of this has been a military solution, so to speak....None of this precludes U.S. diplomacy with China, but Kerry's efforts at conflict resolution undermine such diplomacy at a time when Chinese aggression has been censured by an international tribunal."
