CGTN: U.S. senator swings, misses in criticism of China

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I explore why one U.S. senator needs to rethink his let's-sanction-China strategy.

CGTN: Why will the West not congratulate China on Olympics?

In my latest editorial for CGTN, I ask why the West refuses to congratulate China for delivering a safe and enjoyable Olympics.

CGTN: USTR report again ignores disastrous American policies
