With raising awareness of women equality and non-negligible achievements to the world, the stereotypes of gender images, roles and relations have gradually changed. However, it is still crucial for women to raise their voice to advocate for equal treatment and boost power to make contribution to the society.

US-China trade tensions have shaken global markets. While there is always the possibility of a “truce” being forged, a real solution emerging is unlikely to emerge in the near-term. The challenge in dealing with the US-China trade war is that Washington’s negotiations have been driven by three different constituents with conflicting objectives (White House, business community and the security establishment) while Beijing is preoccupied with its efforts to become a major technological power. A common theme underlying is the clash between two fundamentally different systems, whether it be at the global or country level. Europe’s deep economic linkages with China means that it is being affected negatively. But less well recognized is that that solution to the increasing global tensions may lie in Europe, since left by themselves the US and China appear unable to resolve their differences.
