Editor's note: CGTN's First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events.

This is the reality of today's international politics: The rules-based order is being replaced by power politics; national sovereignty is reduced to bargaining chips; and people's lives are treated as collateral damage. From Venezuela to Iran, from sanctions to intelligence infiltration, the same old American playbook is now being staged across the globe at a faster pace and with ever more brazen tactics. Facing a world where "might makes right," how will China respond?
