Japan should refrain from leading way for "Asian-Pacific NATO"
History has repeatedly shown us that security for different countries is indivisible, that no country shall guarantee its own security at the expense of that of other countries. NATO's mode of operation that features bloc confrontation divides regional countries into two groups – either a NATO member or a non-member, which will only create a stronger sense of insecurity and drag everyone into the security paradox and dilemma where they constantly escalate the alarm and hostility toward each other.

Hegemonistic complex behind US, Australia's intervention in China-Solomon security cooperation
Washington and Canberra's repeated intervention in China-Solomon cooperation is a manifestation of overbearing bullying.

Why is Australia eager for military buildup?
Australia's picking sides so quickly has eroded the impression it leaves with the surrounding countries and laid waste to its efforts in previous decades to merge with Asia. Meanwhile, its growing military strike capabilities have also disgruntled Southeast Asia countries and even America's other allies in the Indo-Pacific region.

American-style "human rights diplomacy" is full of hypocrisy
People of the world are seeing more and more clearly what the US-style human rights diplomacy has brought to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and other countries.

Advocacy of joining in AUKUS exposes Japanese right-wing's obsession with "rearming"

Gunshots of NYC subway shooting cannot wake American politicians playing possum
The gunshots constantly echoing on American soil show that guns have no longer been a "weapon for defending freedom"; instead, it is a "scythe" that ruthlessly cut people's lives. How much will the American people have to pay to completely cut off the huge "malignant tumor"?

US defense budget exceeds 800 billion
The world won't be a safer place for more weapons, just like a furnace won't cool down for more coal. History and reality both prove that America's pursuit of hegemony and absolute security by increasing military spending without limit will only lead to the opposite results than what it expects.

U.S. profits from Ukraine crisis at the cost of European allies

Ukraine crisis affects European security
That Ukraine has been reduced into the forefront of major-country confrontation has also hurt Europe. Against such a backdrop, creating a balanced, valid and sustainable European security architecture seems far beyond reach. In the current entanglement, how to realize "strategic independence" and "lasting peace" in the real sense is a question the Europeans should really think about.
