By: Lincoln Humphries, CGTN anchor We’re living in a time of tit-for-tat tariffs, and consumer products are likely to feel the sharpest pinch. This year’s China International Consumer Products Expo couldn’t have come at a more critical geoeconomic time. Just as the inflation beast that was ravaging the world’s largest economies was seemingly tamed, tarrifs are unravelling trade multilateralism into protectionism, threatening to hike prices on everything from the farm gate, to factory floor – from high fashion to food. However, here in Hainan, China’s smallest province, but the country’s largest special economic zone; the narrative shifts—from confrontation to collaboration.…

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on Saturday that the kingdom’s ties with China will be deepened continuously for mutual benefits, as both countries have been working together to build a community with a shared future. Noting that he has presided over the inauguration ceremonies of many Chinese mega-projects, including the Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, since he took office, the Cambodian leader said that Cambodia-China relations are walking on the track of mutual support and mutual respect for sovereignty and rights. “Today is a testament to the strengthening of Cambodia-China relations for the common interest of our people,” he…

By: Moiz Farooq Executive Editor, Pakistan Economic Net and Daily Ittehad Media Group In the ever-evolving landscape of global trade, the United States continues to rely on unpredictability and pressure tactics as core components of its foreign economic policy. The recent developments surrounding U.S. tariff negotiations have once again exposed Washington’s approach — using economic might not for creating partnerships but for extracting concessions and asserting dominance. During a recent White House meeting, then-President Donald Trump made headlines by announcing a 90-day suspension of certain tariffs on multiple countries, while maintaining a so-called “baseline tariff” of 10%. Yet, in the…

By : Xinhua writer Shi Xiaomeng When To Lam made his first visit to China as Vietnam’s top leader in August last year, he started the trip not in Beijing but in the southern metropolis of Guangzhou — a special arrangement Chinese President Xi Jinping later hailed as “quite meaningful.” It was in Guangzhou, a century earlier, that Ho Chi Minh, the late Vietnamese leader, began his revolutionary activities in China, a period of history Xi described as “a shared red memory” between the two countries’ ruling parties. Xi will soon travel to Vietnam for a fourth state visit as…

BEIJING (Xinhua) — Over three decades ago, when Xi Jinping, then the top official of China’s southeastern city of Fuzhou, visited Malaysia on an investment promotion trip, he found himself deeply impressed by two symbolic sites. One is the Poh San Teng Temple, a long-standing homage to renowned Chinese navigator Zheng He (1371-1433) of the Ming Dynasty. The other is the city of Sibu, which became known as “New Fuzhou” after Wong Nai Siong, a Fuzhou native, migrated to Malaysia with over 1,000 Chinese people more than a century ago. Both places testify to the millennium-old China-Malaysia friendship, a bond…
