Domestically, the Trump Administration came under fire - chitianshi520 - 08-27-2018

BEIJING Cheap Off-White Nike Air VaporMax , Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- As 2017 moves further into the rearview mirror, it leaves a mixed message. The year has seen both hope and fear in an increasingly complex and interdependent world and the call is for all countries to joins hands and shoulder their due responsibility.

A DIVIDED WORLD

It's been a year of tumult that brought a flurry of changes marking a divided world. Some countries retreated into nationalism, protectionism or unilateralism. Globalization faced political headwinds while instability and uncertainty prevailed.

In the international arena, the United States pulled up the drawbridge in the name of protecting national interests. Since he assumed office in January, President Donald Trump has abandoned or threatened to quit several international accords under his "America First" policy. Washington withdrew from the Paris Agreement on climate change, pulled out of the United Nations (UN)'s culture and education body UNESCO, and ended its participation in the Global Compact on Migration Cheap Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 , dismaying even close allies.

Domestically, the Trump Administration came under fire for the continued racial and ethnic tensions that started erupting since his predecessor Barack Obama's tenure. In August, a UN committee to tackle racism issued "an early warning" over the conditions in the United States, prompting The Guardian daily to comment that after the warning, "America's self-image begins to crack."

In 2017, a spate of elections across Europe -- in the Netherlands, France Cheap Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit , Germany and Austria -- added to the turmoil. With German Chancellor Angela Merkel failing to form a majority government and voicing her preference for reelections, she may face a tougher battle if reelections are held.

Also, following British Prime Minister Theresa May's plodding ahead with Brexit talks, there is now widespread fear that the trail blazed by Brexiters will trigger more euroscepticism and europhobia. Analysts have said that Britain exiting the European Union (EU) poses a systematic challenge to the future of European integrity.

There are more rifts elsewhere. The Russia-U.S. tit-for-tat tussle has escalated, leading to new sanctions and diplomatic expulsions. The U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital has seen a volley of global condemnation and protests.

In the turbulent Middle East, after the violence in Syria and Yemen, now oil-rich Qatar has been isolated by its powerful Arab neighbors over its alleged support for terrorism.

"All these problems should be addressed by regional cooperation Cheap Nike Air VaporMax Inneva , multilateral mechanisms and globalization," Ruan Zongze, executive vice president of China Institute of International Studies, the think tank of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has told Xinhua.

CHANNELS FOR WIN-WIN COOPERATION

Experts are calling for channels of communication and multilateral cooperation to avoid misunderstandings that could worsen into conflicts.

"Creating a shared future in a fractured world requires addressing issues on the global agenda in a holistic, interconnected and future-oriented way," Klaus Schwab Cheap Nike Air VaporMax Utility , founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, recently said in Geneva.

Several multilateral organizations are doing that. At the G20 Summit in Hamburg in July, the bloc's leaders agreed to support free trade, globalization and open markets, and oppose protectionism. This is a continuation of the legacy of the 2016 summit in Hangzhou, China, which emphasized innovation Cheap Nike Air VaporMax Moc 2 , vitality, interconnectivity and inclusiveness.

The Ninth BRICS Summit in Xiamen, China, in September also underscored the commitment of the emerging market group to boosting global economic growth by strengthening cooperation both within the bloc as well as with other developing countries.

China's proposals like "BRICS Plus" and the Belt and Road Initiative have created new impetus for an open economy and multilateral trade that benefits the world as a whole, according to Stephen Orlins, president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

"BRICS Plus" proposes expanding the membership of the five-member grouping, while the Belt and Road Initiative Cheap Nike Air Vapormax 2018 , put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, envisions enhancing infrastructure, trade and people-to-people links to better connect Asia, Europe and Africa.

The Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation hosted in Beijing in May saw a clutch of multilateral agreements in five key areas -- policy, infrastructure, trade, financial and people-to-people connectivity -- which concretized Xi's vision Cheap Nike Air Max TN Mens , ensuring win-win outcomes for all the actors involved.

"China is an inspiring example for many countries. Its success and historical experience make it possible to provide the world with a solution based on win-win cooperation," said Andrei Vinogradov, chief of the Center for Political Study and Forecast of Far East Studies Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

SILVER LININGS FOR A COMMON FUTURE

Despite the drawbacks, 2017 has seen some silver linings as well, thanks to the joint efforts of the international community.

The Islamic State (IS) terror group which unleashed violence and barbarity in several countries already undergoing unrest faces defeat in Iraq and Syria, with its organizational capacity crushed. As its remaining territory shrinks, Syria Cheap Nike Air Max TN Womens , where IS escalated a crisis already triggered by a civil war, a new phase seems on the cards.

A new round of Russia-led international negotiations on the Syrian conflict will be held in Astana, Kazakhstan, on Dec. 21. It is hoped that this fresh approach will yield more concrete results as eight rounds of peace talks held in Geneva under the UN aegis have not seen the intended results.

This year also witnessed a serious start to reconciliation to end more than a decade of int
