July 19, 2026 Carlos Martinez, Socialist China. , , ,
On 17 July, Xi Jinping delivered the keynote address at the opening of the 2026 World AI Conference in Shanghai – his first in-person appearance at the conference since it began in 2018, and coming a day after 29 countries signed the agreement establishing the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organisation (WAICO), a new intergovernmental body headquartered in Shanghai. The event was attended by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Prime Minister Hun Manet of the Kingdom of Cambodia, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul of the Kingdom of Thailand, Secretary General of the United Nations António Guterres, and official representatives, business leaders, scholars and researchers from more than 100 countries and international organisations.

Facing Washington’s Threats, DPRK And China Renew Ties

July 1, 2026 Ju-Hyun Park, Breakthrough News. , , , ,
On June 8, President Xi Jinping arrived in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (commonly referred to as North Korea) for a two-day visit, his first since 2019. Accompanied by a high-profile entourage that included Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun, and CPC Secretariat Member Cai Qi, Xi’s arrival highlighted the deepening strategic partnership between the neighboring socialist states, which have as of late entered a new chapter in their relationship. Much was said from both sides about the profundity and unshakeability of their “invincible” friendship, along with pledges to expand bilateral cooperation, strategic dialogue, and economic and political coordination as fellow socialist states.

Xi, Putin Pledge New Era Against Western ‘Unilateralism’

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged to deepen strategic coordination, expand economic cooperation, and push against western dominance in global affairs during talks in Beijing on 20 May. Putin said Moscow and Beijing would keep coordinating positions in the G20, World Trade Organization (WTO), World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and New Development Bank. “Of course, we will continue to closely coordinate our positions,” Putin said, adding that both sides aim to align the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

A Successful Visit To Beijing

May 15, 2026 Carlos Martinez, Friends of Socialist China. , , , ,
In the following article, Carlos Martinez assesses Donald Trump’s 13-15 May state visit to China, arguing that the positive mood music between Trump and Xi Jinping reflects a (slowly) growing understanding in US policy circles that a hawkish anti-China strategy simply is not working. The semiconductor war has accelerated Chinese self-sufficiency rather than slowed it; Trump’s 145 percent tariffs collapsed within days of Beijing tightening rare-earth export controls; and the US-Israeli criminal war on Iran has strengthened, rather than weakened, the multipolar trajectory. The deeper meaning of this summit is that the US ruling class is having to, very reluctantly, start to come to terms with the world as it actually is.

Xi Jinping Proposes Four-Point Plan For Middle East Peace And Diplomacy

April 19, 2026 Friends of Socialist China. , , ,
Chinese President Xi Jinping has advanced four propositions aimed at safeguarding and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. He outlined these at an April 14 meeting in Beijing with Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates, UAE). Xi Jinping stressed China’s principled position of promoting peace and facilitating talks and reiterated his country’s readiness to continue playing a constructive role in this regard.

Understanding The Changes Unseen In A Century

October 29, 2025 Carlos Martinez, Friends of Socialist China. , , , ,
General Secretary Xi Jinping has observed several times that “the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century”. What are these changes, and what are their implications for the current global situation? Before addressing the changes the world is experiencing today, it is worthwhile reflecting on the major changes that occurred a century ago, since the dramatic shifts of that time laid the foundations for the transformations we are witnessing now. The October Revolution of 1917 was a watershed moment marking the beginning of humanity’s transition from capitalism to socialism.

Trump Rattles Markets With New 100 Percent Tariffs On Chinese Goods

October 11, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
US President Donald Trump announced new 100 percent tariffs on Chinese goods on 10 October and threatened to cancel his meeting with President Xi Jinping. Trump said the levies would take effect on 1 November, describing them as “retaliation” for what he called Beijing’s “extraordinarily aggressive” actions. “It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History,” he wrote on social media. He added that the new measures would target “any and all critical software” exports, accusing China of holding the world “captive” through its dominance of rare earth minerals. “There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World captive,” he said.

Elephant And Dragon Choose Dialogue

September 8, 2025 Atul Chandra, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin on September 1, 2025, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met and publicly framed the relationship as “partners, not rivals.” Their readouts stressed dialogue on differences and cooperation on development – language that marks the clearest thaw since the 2020 Ladakh crisis. Two moves gave the reset substance, not just optics. First, India and China re-activated the Special Representatives (SR) dialogue on the boundary question in New Delhi on August 19, 2025, and second, they agreed to restart direct flights and expand people-to-people and business links, after a five-year freeze. These are communications channels that reduce miscalculation and restore some weight to a battered relationship.

Trump’s Tariffs Backfire: India Moves Closer To China

August 17, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump is a very contradictory leader. He constantly implements policies that go against his stated goals. The perfect example of this is how Trump has treated BRICS, the Global South-led organization that now represents the majority of the planet. Trump sees BRICS as a major threat to US hegemony, and, in particular, the dominance of the US dollar as the global reserve currency. The US president has openly threatened members of BRICS to try to stop them from seeking alternatives to the dollar. In a press conference at the White House on July 8, Trump complained (emphasis added): BRICS was set up to hurt us. BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar, and take our dollar as the standard, take it off as the standard.

China-Central Asia Summit Concludes With Call For Multipolar World Order

June 19, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
The second China-Central Asian summit concluded in Astana, Kazakhstan on Tuesday with countries signing a treaty on eternal good neighborliness, friendship, and cooperation as well as a joint Astana declaration. The summit was attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping and the five Cental Asian presidents, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of Kazakhstan (the host country, Sadyr Japarov of Kyrgyzstan, Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov of Turkmenistan, and Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan. The Astana declaration, signed by all the participants, talks about enhancing cooperation in agriculture, energy, technology and transport sectors apart from intensifying cooperation on the global platforms with a common objective of upholding the basic principles of the UN charter and developing a joint stand against hegemonic politics.

The Economic ‘Protracted War’ Between The US And China

June 5, 2025 John Ross, Geopolitical Economy. , , , ,
China and the U.S. have come to a 90-day trade agreement. This was a clear victory in the first battle of the “trade war” for China — as was admitted even in the U.S. media. As Bloomberg, a fiercely anti-China source, summarised the analysis of the overwhelming majority of Western media: “Xi Jinping’s decision to stand his ground against Donald Trump could hardly have gone any better for the Chinese leader.” But it would be an error to mistake this decisive victory for China in the first battle with a belief that the U.S. will abandon the economic struggle against China – it will not. This is in economic terms a “protracted war”, not a single battle.

Trump’s Far-Fetched Attempt To Divide Russia And China Is Clearly Failing

May 19, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump claimed he would “un-unite” Russia and China. However, this divide-and-conquer strategy — which prominent US officials like Henry Kissinger have advocated since the 1970s — is clearly failing. In a meeting in Moscow celebrating the 80th anniversary of their nations’ shared victory in World War Two, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed that “China-Russia relations have reached the highest level in history”. In a lengthy statement, Beijing and Moscow vowed to “jointly resist any attempts to interfere with and disrupt the traditional friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Russia”.

Ukraine Resembles The Fall Of Saigon In 1975

April 24, 2025 Dmitri Kovalevich, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , , ,
The governing regime in Kiev is desperately trying to maintain its US support, as a defeat of the US-led, NATO proxy war in Ukraine looms. It is citing the collapse of the government in South Vietnam in April 1975 as a warning, saying that something similar could happen in Ukraine. At the time, the US defeat in Vietnam was a huge blow to the image and standing of US imperialism in the world. Such pronouncements by the Kiev regime reveal a recognition that ‘its’ Ukraine has become a satellite of the United States – much as South Vietnam was widely recognized to be half a century ago. Then as now, Washington and its allies are desperately seeking to maintain their economic and military dominance over the world and to stop rising movements of liberation by the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Xi Jinping: Global South Countries March Together To Modernisation

October 28, 2024 Friends of Socialist China. , , , , , ,
The summit meeting of the BRICS cooperation mechanism was held, October 22-24, in Kazan, the capital city of the Republic of Tatarstan in the Russian Federation, and was hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Alongside dozens of other events within its framework, the summit of the nine full members of BRICS was held on October 23, under the theme “Strengthening Multilateralism for Equitable Global Development and Security”. This was the first such gathering in which Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa were joined by Ethiopia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Iran, since the 2023 summit meeting held in South Africa invited the latter four countries to take up full membership in the first wave of BRICS expansion.

US Or China, Which Is Truly Democratic?

August 17, 2024 Simon Turner, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , ,
Who do we want to lead? With genocide ongoing, regional wars brewing, and climate change records breaking, who is a safe pair of hands? Today a choice exists; an alternative to the US-led international order is being built, with China at its center. A Western survey, the Edelman Trust Barometer, found China to be the country rated highest globally in terms of people’s trust in their government. China has held the top spot every year but one since 2018, with a comprehensive trust index of 79 in 2024. The US is down at a mere 46.
