Eurasia
Dai Xu, a researcher at Peking University's China Center for Strategic Studies, maintains in his latest commentary that China and Russia should form an alliance against the US, when the US is attempting to implement its divide-and-conquer strategy to achieve global hegemony. According to him, on US's strategic chessboard, Eurasia is the main battlefield, which has been increasingly divided and surrounded by US and US-led powers. He believes that China and Russia will be US's ultimate strategic targets. Therefore, as stakeholders on the same side, China and Russia should take up the responsibility of maintaining world peace, and form an alliance to resist US's imperial ambitions.
Asia-Pacific Region
A commentary on Global Times warns the Philippines about becoming a little chessman on US's strategic layout in the Asia-Pacific Region. The article maintains that since US is actively developing its strategic alliances surrounding China, it is necessary for China to pick up one of the outstanding points, such as the Philippines, to send warning and even carry out punishment. To be specific, China should consider effectively yet reservedly imposing sanctions on the Philippines, so that the whole South China Sea area will see that it is not a good idea to choose the US over China in this rivalry.
Iran
As the Iranian oil crisis escalates, China will get involved sooner or later, and thus has to be prepared to clarify its stance: to withdraw and be subject to the US's strategic layout or to step forward to face the direct frictions with the West. Traditionally, China tends to avoid direct contradictions with the US and Europe. However, since 10% of China's oil import comes from Iran, it is impossible for China to remain an outsider this time. In current situation, China should promotes coordination with East and South Asian countires, aiming at forming a temporary alliance that continues to purchase oil from Iran. The Iran conflict provides an opportunity for China to be more courageous and assertive on the international stage. China should establish a self-confidence: as long as we play by our own script, we will not lose too much. To act more proactively now on the Iran issue is to reduce the pressure for future.
Davos Forum and Capitalism
As reported by Chinese media, one of the most important issues discussed on the Davos Forum is the flaw of the Western economic growth model and the substantial limitations of the capitalist system. The increasingly widening gap between the rich and the poor and sustaining poor economic performance across the West are considered as two key symptoms of today's capitalism. This article contends that contemporary capitalism lacks morality, and that interest groups are becoming unprecedentedly dominant in the capitalist world. Despite Americans differ in whether capitalism is inherently defective or it is merely having some bugs, a consensus has been reached that capitalism is really sick now.
