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.

"China has a massive internal economy, and that's all it needs for its development." That's former US Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, pushing back on the idea that China's rise is a surprise. From DeepSeek to Alibaba to TikTok, Roberts says he saw it coming decades ago after meeting with China's leadership in the early 2000s. His take? Trade shouldn't be politicized. Rivalry isn't necessary. And China's "let's go into business together" approach gives it a real edge. Watch here.
