11 years after his last state visit, Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to return to the U.S.. Chinese scholar Victor Gao argues that, with China’s trade surplus surpassing $1 trillion, it is time for Beijing to set the U.S. agenda—to determine the issues to which Washington must respond. For Gao, this is the only way to achieve what he calls “inevitable peace” between the two countries. thechinaacademy.org/victor-gao-its-time-for-china-…

Western mainstream financial narratives rarely spell out that dollar hegemony rests not on the textbook myth of risk-free returns, but on petrodollar settlement and the military power backing it. Chinese scholar Chen Ping points out that China, as top manufacturer and largest energy importer, has built a solid base for the RMB to challenge the dollar hegemony—only the last puzzle piece is missing. thechinaacademy.org/rmb-is-ready-to-challenge-u-s-…

Anthropics are calling for an AI slowdown to save humanity, yet they join think tanks urging bombing Chinese data centers. Such contradiction statements are widely seen as a show to deflect anti-data-center backlash in the US and maintain Silicon Valley’s lead in AI. China's approach of adhering to a people-oriented principle and using AI as a tool to empower industries is the best countermeasure against this cyber hegemony. thechinaacademy.org/as-anthropics-calls-for-an-ai-…

France just passed an “Earth-saving” anti-fast-fashion law — fining Chinese fashion apps up to €20 per item, while Zara and H&M sail right through. And to make sure the fines hit Chinese platforms just right, the French government reportedly ran simulations to fine-tune the rules until the threshold lined up with them. Same shelves. Same synthetic fabrics. Same landfill at the end. Different rules.
Environmental protection: a convenient tool, whenever and wherever it’s needed.
