What is China's COVID endgame?

For most of the past two years, China's “zero-COVID” strategy was seen as a drastic but effective way to maintain impressively low infection rates. The Chinese government locked down millions of people at a time, ordering them to stay in their homes - or even in schools and office buildings.

China's abortion problem can't be regulated away

Recent official pronouncements in China have sparked speculation that tighter restrictions on abortion may be in the offing.

US-China relations need 'planetary realism' to avoid geopolitical and ecological apocalypse

I submit for your consideration an American political figure named Jerry Brown. He turns 84 this week but is somehow still flamboyant and relevant, if sometimes slightly annoying. I have not only grown to admire him but come to feel this lifelong politician is becoming an important world figure on the issue of China.

Dokdo's sovereignty and original title

Again this year, the Japanese government continued to push ahead with an event called “Takeshima Day,” which was declared through Shimane Prefecture in 2005 to commemorate the history of the invasion on Dokdo sovereignty in Korea in 1905.
