  • The Wall Street Journal：China's Leaders Smooth Trade Tensions but Talk Tough on Taiwan
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "China's responses to challenges from U.S. President Donald Trump loomed large as its leaders closed out an annual political gathering, promising a more open market... Premier Li Keqiang, the titular No. 2 leader, struck a conciliatory tone on trade with the US... At a Tuesday news briefing in Beijing's Great Hall of the People, Mr. Li said 'there are no winners' in a trade war between the world's two largest economies, and appealed for calm. His comments come as the Trump administration threatens to launch anti-China trade measures aimed at addressing a bilateral trade imbalance that the U.S. says stood at $375 billion in Beijing's favor last year."
  • Bloomberg：Xi Gives Stark Taiwan Warning in Hands-Off Message to Trump
    Bloomberg reports: "Chinese President Xi Jinping warned that efforts to widen divisions with Taiwan would be 'punished by history' in a nationalistic speech to mark the start of his second term. In an address to China's almost 3,000-member national parliament, Xi said China had the capabilities to stop any attempt to formalize the democratically ruled island's independence. The remarks came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump signed a law allowing high-level official visits to Taiwan, a move that would elevate its diplomatic status."
  • The New York Times：What the West Doesn't Get About Xi Jinping
    In an op-ed in The New York Times, former Australian Prime Minister writes: "The recent decision by China's National People's Congress to abolish term limits for the office of the president has sent shock waves through the West: Xi Jinping, the current officeholder, is suddenly being described as a new Confucian autocrat, overseeing a state still governed by a Marxist-Leninist party, presiding over a selectively capitalist economy, with ambitions to make his country a global superpower. This sense of shock says more about the West than China. For the last five years, Western leaders and analysts have often projected onto China an image of their preferred imaginings, rather than one reflecting the actual statements of China's own leaders, or in the physical evidence of Chinese statecraft. These have long pointed to a vastly different reality."
