The UN and China should fill the vacuum the US is leaving.

For its first two decades the PRC was anathema to the U.S. Not until Mao’s death in 1976 could one imagine normal relations between the two nations. Today the Chinese people have opportunities and freedoms once unimaginable. U.S. policy should focus on the long-term, encouraging coming generations in China to take control of their future.

In the past few years, China has carried the world economically, and in the next few years, China will carry the world environmentally. The more China prospers, the more the world will gain.

China's 19th Party Congress has finally wrapped up and the much anticipated new leadership was announced. Xi Jinping has been very much the focus of coverage in

Jinping has started his second term by announcing a new era in Chinese politics, and evidently part of the new era is to leave open the question of his successor in 2022. No one on the new PBSC is young enough to meet the age requirement for successor, though there are several possibilities in the full Politburo. Does this mean that Xi plans to break precedent and take a third term himself?

There is hardly any reason for the 19th CCP Congress not to continue following Xi’s ideas, which boil down to the omnipresence of state power.

Whilst China’s economy may appear to be constrained by labor and capital, there’s a third variable – innovation. By exploiting this variable, and with enlightened leadership from the CCP, China can escape from the trap of declining growth.

If many analysts prove correct in their forecasts, China’s military leadership will undergo the largest-ever turnover of military elite in the history of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) at the 19th Party Congress this October.

Patterns in leadership reshuffling in the lead-up to the 19th National Party Congress—especially at the provincial level—clearly reveal the coming-of-age of the CCP’s sixth generation of leaders.

With the coming of the 19th National Congress, audiences in China and around the world reflect on the changes for China since the last party Congress, with a focus on Xi Jinping’s leadership, domestic economic goals and improvements, and China’s role on the international stage.
