Can US-China relations be saved?
ReutersAt the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting on Saturday afternoon, Chinese diplomats arrived unexpectedly at the Foreign Ministry of host Papua New Guinea. Angry at Papua New Guinea’s support for American wording in the meeting’s final communiqué, they only left after police were called, Australian and other media reported.Chinese officials denied the reports, saying suggestions they had tried to bully officials from the smaller nations were “simply untrue.” But the reported face-off dramatically underscored how a gathering that had hoped to ease tensions between Beijing and Washington’s allies in the region looks to have inflamed them instead. Two weeks before a landmark meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the G20 in...

Can US-China relations be saved?

No one is above our country
OkazThe murder of Jamal Khashoggi is now losing its media and political momentum. It cannot be in the headlines every single day in Western media. Americans and Europeans are more concerned with their local issues. It is only those who are targeting Saudi Arabia politically who are following this case.Furthermore, nothing can be added to the transparent report that was issued by the Attorney General, except finding the body of the victim. With the general prosecution demanding the death penalty for the perpetrators of this terrible murder, those who wanted to use this case politically to harm Saudi Arabia have been left paralyzed.There are only a few decision making departments in Turkey that are desperately trying to revive this case politically by continuously leaking news, which is only...

Commemorating Allama Iqbal, the great ‘Poet of the East’
Pakistanis and many other Muslims within the Indian subcontinent and outside recently celebrated the birth anniversary of Dr. Allama Mohammad Iqbal, who was a great poet, philosopher, politician, jurist and economist. Iqbal was widely known as the “Poet of Islam” and the “Poet of the East.” Those who are fond of philosophy consider him to be the “Philosopher of Islam” in the modern world.It is a fact that he proved his talent and proficiency in the fields of philosophy, politics, economics and law but in the Arab world, he is best known in the field of poetry. This is especially due to a song sung by the renowned Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum. The song was based on “Shikwa Jawabe Shikwa,” which is the combination of two poems written by Allama Iqbal in 1909 and 1913. The...

Do not deprive people of their rights
As a sponsor of overseas workers over the years, I am sometimes disturbed that in the land in which Islam took root and where so much emphasis is placed on religious adherence right from childhood, there exist some Saudis who seem to have little regard for Islamic beliefs particularly when it comes to compensating their workers for their labor and paying them their dues on time.Reports of such exploitation over the years could fill volumes, and despite being reported and publicized in much of our press, and while the Labor Ministry has tightened the rules, it is unfortunate that this malicious practice seems to show no sign of fading.I recently learned of a situation involving some Asian workers who seem to have been stranded in this country for more than two years without their documents...

We need a National Service system!
My wife is a doctor. She chose to participate in teaching seminars for a week at a new medicine college in Qunfudah, a small town 334 km south of Jeddah.“I feel like I’m on a Peace Corps mission. The place is quiet, small and boring. However, most students are highly motivated, and everything here - buildings and equipment - seems so new and fresh,” she said. “I feel sorry for the female students, though, because they have to be taught every week by new teachers and trainers.“No one agrees to stay here permanently, even those who are originally from here. Once you get used to city life, you find it hard to live in the countryside. If you accept to do so, your children may not. And if you leave them in Jeddah and visit every weekend, you would soon be worn out,” she...

Ejar Unified Contract for residential rent: A review
With many government-to-citizen services being developed and put into use in recent years, Saudi Arabia’s citizens and residents alike have now been granted the Ejar Unified Contract.

The newly-established unified contract is seven pages in length, consisting of organized categories for data concerning the potential tenant and property owner.Found on the official website...

With women driving, our roads will be safer
OkazMany video clips appear on social media websites of terrible car accidents with comments warning other drivers about women driving. This is an attempt to engrave in the minds of people that women driving increases the number of accidents, as if car accident statistics did not exist before women started driving. It is clear that such video clips are being posted by those who are against women driving.Some time ago, a report published in a Saudi newspaper stated that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has the highest rate of car accidents, with an increasing rate in human and financial losses that is not happening anywhere else in the world. This is the result of speeding on the roads and committing traffic violations. No one came forward at that time warning people about male drivers or the...

Gaming disorder is an addiction
Okaz newspaperThe World Health Organization recently classified “gaming disorder” as addictive behavior. Indeed, the dangerous addiction to games on the Internet is similar to the addiction to alcohol and drugs. This is a serious matter because there are adults and children who are addicted to these computer and video games on a daily basis.The addicted person is isolated socially and suffers from mood swings, limited imagination and an extreme focus on achievement in these games, which is measured by passing from one game level to another. Addicts totally isolate themselves from real-life events.Gaming disorder was not classified as a disease in 2013 because of incomplete evidence. This year it was classified as a disease because the evidence is now completed. There is evidence of...

Flash floods: Time to improve our drainage infrastructure!
The recent heavy rains in Jordan led to the death of a number of people including children. There were also tragic scenes in Lebanon, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman as torrential rains led to a loss of lives and property. Rainwater drainage continues to be one of the most important and major development challenges faced by Arab governments.Frequent storms, heavy rainfall and floods make it clear that global warming is an issue that underlines the need for proper infrastructure. This infrastructure is not limited to systems of water drainage, but also includes the need for networks of shelters and warning systems along with rescue equipment and ambulances and staff trained to deal with natural disasters.Heavy rain, cyclones and hurricanes are no longer unusual climatic conditions but have become...

Trump’s summit no-show draws Asian nations closer together
US President Donald Trump didn’t make it to this week’s summit of Asian nations in Singapore, but his influence was still keenly felt among the leaders who gathered in the city.One prime minister warned that the trade war between Washington and Beijing could trigger a “domino effect” of protectionist steps by other countries. Another fretted that the international order could splinter into rival blocs.“The most important and talked-about ... leader, President Trump, is the only one that did not turn up,” said Malcolm Cook, a senior fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore.And yet, in Trump’s absence, countries from South to East Asia pressed on with forging multilateral ties on trade and investment among themselves, including with China.China’s representative...
