  • Forbes：The 'Quad' Is Not A Rival To China's Belt And Road Initiative -- It's A Precursor
    Forbes comments: "Xi Jinping's signature foreign policy contribution-The Belt and Road Initiative-has attracted acres of positive press coverage since it was unveiled in 2014, but has lately inspired an apparent rival in the resurrected form of the 'Quadrilateral Security Dialogue' between the U.S., Japan, Australia and India. These four democracies each have their own security concerns about China's more assertive foreign policy posture, but they also have a shared commitment to the existing 'rules based order' as a key mechanism for protecting, and projecting, their own principal security and economic interests. For this reason, it's perhaps incorrect to see the 'Quad' as a rival to the BRI so much as a restatement of what the BRI has set out to challenge."
  • The New York Times：With Xi's Power Grab, China Joins New Era of Strongmen
    The New York Times reports: "There was a time, not so long ago, when a Chinese leader setting himself up as ruler for life would have stirred international condemnation for bucking the global trend toward greater democracy. Now, such an action seems fully in keeping with moves by many countries in the other direction. The surprise disclosure on Sunday that the Communist Party was abolishing constitutional limits on presidential terms - effectively allowing President Xi Jinping to lead China indefinitely - was the latest and arguably most significant sign of the world's decisive tilt toward authoritarian governance, often built on the highly personalized exercise of power. The list includes Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, all of whom have abandoned most pretenses that they rule according to the people's will."
  • CNN：We must do more to reassure US officials
    CNN reports: "One of China's biggest tech companies says it needs to step up efforts to win over US intelligence agencies. ZTE, which makes smartphones and builds mobile networks, must make "more effort to build the trust among the people in Washington," said Lixin Cheng, CEO of the company's mobile devices business. "We need to do more."Top officials from the FBI, CIA and NSA testified before Congress this month that ZTE and Huawei, another Chinese smartphone maker, pose a security threat to American customers. "We understand the concerns, and respect the concerns of different agencies of the United States government," Cheng said in an interview with CNN's Kristie Lu Stout at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. "We promise we are going to work very openly, as we did before, [and] transparently to address their needs and their concerns.""
