China’s ‘ASEAN visa’ is more than a travel perk

1 week ago | chinadailyhk.com | Wilson Flores

In an era marked by rising protectionism, xenophobia and protracted conflict, China’s introduction of a five-year, multiple-entry “ASEAN visa” stands as a bold reaffirmation of openness — a policy that echoes the cosmopolitan spirit of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), when China’s economic and cultural prowess thrived on global exchange.

The world economy stands at a precipice. The reckless escalation of unilateral tariffs and trade wars — spearheaded by the United States — has not only destabilized global markets but also betrayed the fundamental principles of economic rationality and multilateral cooperation. The consequences are already manifesting: slowing growth, resurgent inflation, and the specter of a US recession.

Adversity propels China’s technological metamorphosis

1 month ago | chinadailyasia.com | Wilson Flores

History is replete with paradoxes where adversity births ingenuity. Napoleon’s blockade of continental Europe catalyzed Britain’s industrial revolution; the Cold War space race birthed Silicon Valley. Today, the US-China tech rivalry — intensified by the Trump administration’s tariffs — is scripting a similar paradox. Recently, economist Jin Keyu’s incisive analysis in the Financial Times posited that punitive tariffs, rather than crippling China, may accelerate its technological ascent.

The world has just lost a moral titan. Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pontiff in history, has passed away — leaving behind a legacy of extraordinary wisdom, moral courage, and unwavering compassion. In an age marred by cynicism, bitter political divisions, and incessant conflicts, he stood out as a luminous figure — gentle yet resolute, progressive yet anchored in tradition, righteous yet always merciful. The world mourns a spiritual giant, a true champion of peace and justice.

How tariffs torpedo global prosperity

2 months ago | chinadailyhk.com | Wilson Flores

History’s clearest economic lesson is one some people stubbornly refuse to learn: Unilateral tariffs and trade wars produce no winners — only casualties. From the 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariffs of the United States that deepened the Great Depression to today’s escalating protectionism, the pattern remains tragically consistent. Unilateral tariffs ignite a vicious cycle of retaliation, strangling growth, warping markets, and unraveling the intricate web of global commerce.

In Manila, where skyscrapers claw at heavens built on backroom deals, a man of steel has vanished. Anson Tan — his English name mangled as “Anson Que” in news reports, his wounded face unethically leaked by faceless authorities — once forged scrap metal into schools, hospitals, and hope. Now, he is a phantom in a ledger, its pages stained by a ransom paid and ignored. Beside him was Armanie Pabillo, the driver whose name means “soldier of peace,” now waging a war without weapons.
