According to some, Alibaba's recent investment in Guangzhou Evergrande marked the death of soccer in China. An already dominant team, they argued, further bolstered by the billions of one of China's biggest firms would squash what little competition remained.


But it might not be quite that simple.


While Evergrande are poised to claim their fourth consecutive league title, the club's exit from the Asian Champions League (ACL) at the quarterfinal stage last week showed that a lack of -competition at home is hurting the club when it comes to the continental stage. -Although Guangzhou won the game 2-1, the -defending champions lost out to Australian side Western Sydney -Wanderers on the away goals rule.


Described as a "seismic shock" by -FIFA's official website, the signs had been there long before this tie. Coach -Marcello Lippi, banished to the stands for the -second leg after an argument with the referee during the first leg, had opted to pair fellow Italians Alessandro Diamanti and Alberto Gilardino up front, but they haven't had the same impact as the now-departed South Americans Dario Conca and Muriqui had last year.


The problem is that, with a six-point cushion at the top of the Chinese -Super League (CSL), the team have rarely been forced to raise their game to another -level, and with success now being judged by Asian Champions League titles, rather than CSL ones, this season will feel like a disappointment for Evergrande fans.


That might not be a bad thing in the long run. As the recent demise of Manchester United has shown, success in soccer is never guaranteed. One of the reasons the beautiful game is so loved around the world is that a team like Stoke City can travel to Manchester City, as they did Saturday, and leave with all three points - having fully deserved to do so.


Few are predicting the sudden -demise of Guangzhou Evergrande any time soon, but they suddenly don't seem quite as fearsome as they were last -season. Underdogs can always win one-off matches, but proper investment is -needed for a club to prosper throughout the season.


With the CSL signing up multiple major partners in recent months and Evergrande attracting money from -Alibaba, the league is clearly a more attractive prospect for investors than it once was. While Guangzhou's dominance might previously have deterred some entrepreneurs from investing in others, this defeat might just convince some of them that there is more than one team in China.




BEIJING, May 2 (Xinhua) -- A U.S. cruise ship began a historic journey by sailing from Miami to Cuba on Sunday for the first time in 38 years, as a symbol of the thaw in relations between the United States and Cuba after U.S.President Barack Obama's visit in March.


During his visit, Obama announced that his government would ease trade and travel restrictions for Cuba as a goodwill gesture of the U.S. administration to restore ties with its long-time foe.


However, the more important thing for the United States to ease, or abandon altogther, is its Cold War mentality.


As Henry Kissinger said in his book "Diplomacy," there is no other country like the United States stuck in the conviction that its institutions are universally viable. Thus other cultures and ideologies should be altered.


Seeing itself as the beacon of the so-called free world, Washington has long been meddling in countries and regions with different cultures and on-the-ground conditions, including Latin America, the Middle East, the Korean Peninsula, Eurasia, and the Asia Pacific.


After years of interfering around the world, we are now left with a torn-apart Latin America between leftists and rightists, a war-torn Middle East, a restive Korean Peninsula, a crisis-stricken Ukraine, just to name a few.


Globalization continues to bring prosperity and development to the world, and to be a greater part of this grand trend requires adaptation.


However, certain individuals and countries cherish clinging to a Cold War mode of thought in a bid to hold onto power. Although the Berlin Wall fell decades ago, and the Soviet Union became obsolete, a Cold War mindset lingers on. Its believers still think that in this world power is a zero-sum game.


Over the past four decades, the Asia Pacific region has been the fastest-growing region economically as well as the most peaceful region in the world. But the pillars of peace and cooperation have been challenged by a Cold War thinking characterized by alignment, restraint and confrontation.


Amid prosperity and development, the world is also facing unprecedented challenges -- a sluggish world economy, a turbulent global market, terrorism and a refugee crisis, among others. If the world is to succeed in resolving these seemingly intractable problems, certain global players must abandon a way of thinking that hold.
