Two points to make:
1. China is the "factory of the world". Developed countries, which had polluted the world in history, have removed their carbon intensive industries to China
2. On per capita basis, China isn't qualified to be the "worst polluter". Not even top 10. See chart:
#Opinion Some #EU members are reportedly preparing to toughen their economic stance toward #China, exposing a striking double standard in international #trade. When European firms export pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and wine worldwide, they are celebrated for their "competitiveness." Yet when #China exports #EVs or solar panels, certain European politicians suddenly cry "#overcapacity."
It's like forcing others to take medicine for an illness of your own making. Far from an objective economic assessment, the term "overcapacity" has increasingly been weaponized as a tool of #protectionism against competitors with stronger market advantages in global trade.
#Opinion 80 years after the opening of the #TokyoTrial, its warning still resonates: once unleashed, militarism leaves scars that outlast generations. It was a landmark of international justice, holding #JapaneseMilitarism accountable and reaffirming the postwar international order.
Amid painful memories, peace-loving people find recent provocative moves by Japanese Prime Minister #SanaeTakaichi and her government -- ranging from attempts to break through Japan's pacifist constitution to repeated gestures toward the notorious #YasukuniShrine, from lifting the ban on arms exports to expanding military reach abroad -- particularly concerning.
The "empty chair" at the Tokyo Trial reveals what was left unfinished: the failure to bring all wartime perpetrators to justice. Far from marking the end of Japanese militarism, that absence casts a shadow that lingers still. History demands not just remembrance, but reckoning. Without it, the line between past and present blurs to a dangerous thinness.
Starting May 1, #China will expand zero-tariff treatment to all #African countries that have diplomatic relations with it.
At a time when #unilateralism and #protectionism are on the rise, China opens its door wider, creating development opportunities for African countries.

#Opinion#Washington's latest accusations against Chinese #AI firms are not driven by evidence, but by anxiety over China's rapid technological progress.
While claims that Chinese companies are "stealing intellectual property" or "distilling" U.S. AI models remain utterly groundless, they are being amplified globally to justify another round of pressure on China's AI industry.
Turning "distillation" -- a common and legitimate machine-learning method used across the industry to train smaller models -- into a geopolitical charge lays bare how China's AI rise is increasingly seen through the lens of hegemony and fear.
America is leading the AI race and our foreign adversaries know it.
The Trump Administration will not allow China to subvert American interests by stealing AI.

During phone talks with Trump on Friday, Xi called on the two sides to honor the fallen heroes, remember history, cherish peace and open up the future.
It's a timely moment to see how U.S. General Stilwell is remembered in China, and why his legacy continues to matter today #WWII
Perched on a hillside along the Jialing River in China's Chongqing stands the Stilwell Museum - the only museum in China named after a foreign military officer. Why do Chinese people continue to remember and honor former U.S. General Joseph Stilwell? https://t.co/7fb3f9xMvi
Globalisation's long-term trajectory remains unstoppable but tariff war has left deep scars eroding business confidence, distorting supply chains, slowing global growth. #auspol#USChina
