Why the U.S troops in South Korea should be withdrawn?
It is now no way for the U.S. military presence in South Korea to be seen as a generous endeavor to safeguard South Korea or its so-called democratic values. Rather whole things along this line have gradually been morphing into a potentially disastrous U.S. broader strategy to contain China.

Plundering oil and food in Syria makes U.S. a world robber
Facts have demonstrated that the U.S. has brought no peace to places it has invaded. It violates the sovereignty of other countries, plunders resources, and harms civilians for its global hegemony. It cares nothing about the "democracy" and "human rights" it has long advocated, and is becoming a world robber rather than the “world policeman.”

Where is Japan's defense policy heading?
Japanese media reported that Japan's prime minister and president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Fumio Kishida reshuffled the cabinet and the LDP leadership on August 10. Analysts said several cabinet members, including the defense minister, have been replaced, which indicates that Japan may change its defense policy by modifying the progressive approach left by Shinzo Abe.

Arms sales a clear breach of promise
Washington pays no heed to the fact that its arms sales have emboldened secessionists on the island, whose maneuvers aimed at securing the island's de facto "independence" have intensified the tensions across the Taiwan Straits. Shutting its eyes to the promise it made in the August 17 Communique, the US has placed its interest and strategic goal of containing the rise of China before honoring its pledge.

Peace in Mali a long, hard journey
The latest attack epitomizes the worsening security situation in Mali in the past decade. In 2012, separatists controlled the northern part of the country and sparked the Mali crisis. Since then, terrorist forces have spread southward, subjecting the central and border regions to constant terrorist attacks, with particularly high risks in the capital city of Bamako.

US stirs up great-power competition in Africa
In the past few decades, the Kosovo war, the war in Afghanistan, and the war in Iraq launched by the US, as well as the Arab Spring initiated and joined by the US, have not only led to nightmares for the countries and people in these regions but also made the US itself fall into embarrassment. The US Africa strategy is of strong potential for "great-power competition" and Cold War mentality. African countries must be very scrupulous in terms of the willingness to join or the depth of involvement.

Japan should go no further in whitewashing militarism
August 15 of 2022 marks the 77th anniversary of Japan’s announcement of unconditional surrender in World War II. 77 years ago, the progressive forces in the world defeated Japanese militarism and Fascism. But today, Japan is trying hard to whitewash its history of Asian aggression, turning a blind eye to the sufferings undergone by the people of victimized countries during the war.

Stay vigilant against Japan's "toxic textbook" on history
Monday marked the 77th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II. This year, some Japanese political leaders still brazenly visited the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, or sent offerings. Those moves have once again shown the Japanese side's erroneous attitude toward historical issues.

Historical backpedaling will only lead to dead end
Those who back-pedal on history will only drive into a dead end. The only way for Japan to find its right place in regional development is to face up to its mistakes, own up to its past crimes, learn lessons from history, respect the security concerns of its Asian neighbors, and stick to the road of peaceful development. If it is bent on going against the trend of the times, Japan will eventually fret in its own grease.

US military aid renders world in turmoil
The US military aid tends to deliver a hit to the US itself and bring wars and turmoil around the world. Almost every local war happening around the world today has been covered with the shadow of US military aid. Moreover, weapons aided by the US may get into terrorist organizations through a certain black market, increasing the risk of terrorism across the world.

AUKUS nuclear submarine cooperation threatens global stability
The US, the UK, and Australia should seriously reflect and change course as soon as possible. They should not go further on the road of nuclear proliferation, not become the destroyers of the global non-proliferation system, and not go against the trend of the times.

US weapons assistance to Ukraine might debuff European security
The US has put its own interests first when providing the so-called "assistance" to other countries. It only considers the purse of its own Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) and disregards the security and development of other countries. During the wars in Syria and Afghanistan, many weapons provided by the US flew into the hands of terrorist organizations and other armed forces.

Hope Japan a bit soberer
Currently, the entire Japanese political arena tends to be not clear-headed. There are voices in almost every political party advocating the need to increase Japan's defense capabilities. In particular, Washington is putting out the fire for Japan's "remilitarization" that threatens the world's public opinion, while at the same time giving Japan the initiative to stand at the forefront of US geopolitical competition.

US is biggest driver of global refugee issue
From launching the Iraq War and the Afghan War to cultivating anti-government forces in many countries in West Asia and North Africa, and disrupting the regional situation, to military intervention in the Syrian war, long-term interference in Venezuela's internal affairs and continuous imposition of economic sanctions, the US has acted like a bully and left many messes around the world under the banner of "democracy" and "human rights".

American "rules" become source of chaos in world
American military-industrial complex (MIC) profited from the chaos and made a great fortune. The US is addicted to fanning the flames for its own selfish interests, and doesn't hesitate to plunge other countries into the quagmire of war . Such American "rules" will only bring chaos to the world.

Irresponsible US deceives world, harms itself
The US is the greatest irresponsibility, and a complete betrayal of the responsibility of a major power. The US side must make the right choice on how to promote the positive interaction between China and the US, how to assume the responsibility of a major power, and how to play its due role in the cause of mankind's peace and development.

The 9th Summit of the Americas wrapped up in doom and gloom recently. America's bullying behaviors were widely criticized and rejected by Latin American countries, and the summit ended up having the least state leaders ever.

NATO's northward expansion aggravates European security risks

U.S. trap of selling second-hand weapons dismays Southeast Asian countries
Washington's new pronouncement seems to lack sincerity and actions as America's so-called security cooperation has taken a heavy toll on Southeast Asian countries in recent years, especially with its sale of U.S.-made second-hand weapons.

Japan, to-be victim of strengthened "extended deterrence"
What fits Japan's strategic interest is the ease of tensions between China and US and regional stability, rather than engaging in major power confrontations and making itself a military. The later would only increase the risk of involving itself in war.

US should correct its wrong policy to break deadlock in Iran nuclear deal

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.

US is to blame for unstable Middle East
The US has clamored about "rules-based international order" like a catchphrase, but hundreds of thousands of civilians have died, millions have been injured and tens of millions have become homeless because of it – their blood and tears suffice to call out the hypocrisy and bankruptcy of "American-style democracy".

SpaceX has decided to increase the number of Starlink satellites from 12,000 to 42,000 – the program’s unchecked expansion and the company’s ambition to use it for military purposes should put the international community on high alert.

French election reveals rift in Europe
The noteworthy divergences between the two candidates running for the French presidency have not only revealed France's domestic problems, but also the more conspicuous rift across Europe, and the conflict between Europe's pursuit of strategic independence and America's hegemony.
