VOLUME III of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China was published this year, with the release of new reports and speeches made by Chinese President Xi Jinping on numerous topics regarding China and the world from October 2017 to January 2020.

ACHIEVING the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the dream of the Chinese people since modern times. The Communist Party of China (CPC), upon its establishment in 1921, took on the historical mission of realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

CHINESE President Xi Jinping on September 21 shared his thoughts on the role of the United Nations (UN) in the post-COVID era, opposing unilateralism, bullying or any country acting like the “boss of the world.”

Poverty is a major obstacle to surmount in the pursuit of peace and prosperity. In “Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” adopted by the United Nations in September 2015, ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions was listed as the first of the 17 sustainable development goals.

This September, virtually, due to COVID-19, leaders from around the world make speeches lauding, decrying, or reflecting on the history of the United Nations. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and in the recent past such anniversaries have been marked by significant action by the 193 states that are members of the organization. In 2005, for example, the 60th anniversary of the UN, which followed the horror of the Rwandan genocide, the General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution on the Responsibility to Protect, a major advance in international law where every state acknowledged in paragraphs 138-139 of the World Summit Outcome Document that it had the “responsibility to protect its populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.”

THE U.S. provocations around the South China Sea have recently intensified. Right on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the ad hoc tribunal ruling on the South China Sea arbitration, on July 13, the U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, issued the statement “U.S. Position on Maritime Claims in the South China Sea.”

THIS eventful summer would be remembered in history as a watershed for China-U.S. relations, right on the start of the 100-day countdown for the American presidential election.

THE third volume of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China was published on June 30, 2020. It comes after the first volume of the magnificent work that covers the period from November 15, 2012 to June 13, 2014, and the second volume that covers the period from August 18, 2014 to September 29, 2017.

THE spread of the novel coronavirus across the world has devastated people’s lives, damaged their physical and mental health, and had a negative impact on social well-being.

Humans and nature are inextricably intertwined in a delicate balance that makes up the essence of life on the planet. It is logical, therefore, that if one harms the other, the balance would be disrupted and some form of harm would result.

This eventful July will be remembered in history as a watershed for China-U.S. relations, right on the start of the 100-day countdown for President Trump’s reelection. The series of mind-boggling events have left people wonder where the bilateral relationship is heading and why all these things happened?
