The US indictment of PLA officials will have a serious impact on China-US cooperation over cyber security. This may be good news for cybercriminals, writes Li Zheng.

While many in the international community continue to question the United States’ commitment to its Asian allies, Benjamin Friedman analyzes the current state of the U.S. Department of Defense and lays out five reasons why the U.S. will continue to dominate the Asia-Pacific region.

In the face of the international terrorist organizations’ threats to the international community, China and the US need to assume responsibilities, and join hands in a new round of cooperation, writes Wang Zhen.

The recent spate of high-profile attacks against Chinese citizens at train stations shows a genuine and ongoing security problem that China must address more aggressively.

Fu Xiaoqiang explains that terrorist groups in China now pose a more acute risk as their network and capacity has expanded. Rather then inadvertently encouraging separatist and extremist groups in China, and being swayed by power politics, the United States should leverage common security goals and collaborate with China in fighting global terrorism.

Despite recent steps by the Pentagon to build trust between the Chinese and U.S. militaries, the indictment of Chinese military personnel for alleged cyber-espionage has undoubtedly affected bilateral relations between the two nations. Without an entirely accurate view of Sino-US cyber competition, escalatory reactions, like the suspension of the China-U.S. Working Group, are bound to continue.

It is regrettable that the new round of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which had been slated for a deal by the end of April, came to no avail after nine months of intensive efforts. However, all parties still could see some noteworthy, positive results, writes Wu Sike.

The United States does not command sufficient resources to execute a rebalancing strategy focused on the containment of China. Its ambitions are far beyond its capabilities, writes Jin Liangxiang.

Dan Steinbock argues that forces seeking to destabilize China are undermining the potential for US-Chinese counterterrorism cooperation. Instead of paving the way for future negative scenarios, China and the United States should seek join interests and find ways to work together.

One of the largest impediments to stable US-China relations is the strongly held view of China as a growing and aggressive world power, known more formally as the “China Threat Theory.” This theory is based off of faulty assumptions and will have a negative impact on creating positive US-China relations in the future.
