China's economic resilience provides ammunition for the trade war
[2018-October-19]
On Sunday night, United States President Donald Trump claimed in a CBS "60 Minutes" interview with correspondent Lesley Stahl that China "don't have enough ammunition to retaliate" in a trade war with the United States. (As an aside, on this occasion, he said it wasn't a "war", but a "skirmish". When Stahl reminded the president that he called it a "war" earlier that day, he said "actually I called it a battle. But, actually, I'm gonna lower that. I consider it a skirmish.")

Creating distractions out of thin air won't help mend China-U.S. ties
[2018-October-8]
On Thursday at the Hudson Institute in Washington D.C., United States Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech attacking China's domestic and foreign policies. Before the speech, there had been whispers that the White House was going to release a substantive new policy position towards China. Instead, what we heard were old, baseless claims that had already been hyped up by the American side. China's government swiftly refuted the many accusations made in the speech. "The speech made unwarranted accusations against China's domestic and foreign policies, and slandered China by claiming that it meddles in the internal affairs and elections of the United States," said China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying. "This is nothing but hearsay… it is creating something out of thin air."

Extreme right makes it difficult for Sweden to be that "ideal country"
[2018-September-28]
Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Lofven was ousted from his post on Tuesday after losing a vote of confidence in the parliament. This follows the failure of the country's center-left and center-right camps to win a majority in the parliamentary elections earlier this month, with the result that the far-right has grown rapidly in strength and is likely to influence the formation of the next cabinet. Chances of shift to the right in Sweden's political circles has further increased.
