China slams Canadian media for misreporting stance on Meng, Kovrig
The Chinese Embassy in Canada slammed Canadian media for misrepresenting statements made by Michael Kovrig's wife as those of a Chinese spokesperson, and for claiming China had linked Meng Wanzhou's case to those of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

William Jones: Controversial Legislation on Xinjiang Purely Political Ploy
President Donald Trump on June 17 signed into law the Uygur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020. The legislation is based on the fallacious argument that what China is doing with its law enforcement measures in Xinjiang, which have been highly exaggerated in the Western media, is not to prevent terrorism, but rather to oppress the Uygur population. But the nature of this bill has little to do with any alleged “compassion” toward an “oppressed minority,” but rather is a matter of pure politics and an integral part of a consistent policy of containing China.

Slawomir Majman: It is time for redefining global order
What will happen when the international community contains the nightmarish novel coronavirus pandemic? Avoiding easy comparisons, it is worth recalling how 10 years ago Western pundits prophesied a complete transformation of the world economic order when in reality nothing significant has changed. But despite not knowing much about the future, we can be almost certain that after the pandemic, China will be in a completely different position.

It was indeed the relatives of Floyd and other victims of police violence, along with hundreds of human rights groups, that urged the UN Human Rights Council to investigate racism in the US.

Zhao Minghao: Stakes are high for Trump to restart campaign rally
On June 20, Trump held a comeback campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Compared with Trump campaign's previous boast that more than one million people had requested tickets to attend, the crowd at the rally was actually not very big. The low turnout at the rally has drawn mockery from American media and many Democrats. Although the rally was quieter than expected inside the arena, the scene outside was pretty boisterous. Over the past few days, many anti-racism protesters have gathered in this small city. There were so many of them that the mayor of Tulsa even imposed a curfew on the grounds of preventing riots.

Wang Wen: West should seek fair stories and modernize its minds about China
It is unrealistic to think that there aren't negative things happening in China. Unfair even evil deeds do take place from time to time. The burden to reduce poverty and increase employment remains heavy. The Chinese people have undergone a difficult time in fighting the novel coronavirus. When observing anything under a microscope, bacteria and dirt will always be spotted. It has to be understood that China's great changes and structural trends have varying degrees of good and evil, positive and negative, with progress and setbacks.

Djoomart Otorbaev: What can the EU do to mitigate the risk of China-U.S. conflicts?
The battles between Beijing and Washington have so far emerged on almost everything – technology, trade, investment, supply chains, journalists, responses to demonstrations, COVID-19, etc. Who, if any, can cool down this situation? Perhaps, other influential "global players" can play a role? But who are those "global players"? Russia now will not be able to mediate since it is openly not on the same side with the U.S. Thus, I would like to look into relationships within the U.S.-EU-China triangle.

William Jones: Trump signs executive order on police reform – but is it enough?
U.S. President Trump on June 16 signed an executive order mandating a thorough reform of the local and state police forces. While the federal government does not control law enforcement on the state and local level, these being left to the states, the federal government can and does set the requirement to which the states and local jurisdictions must adhere.Very few people have expressed much reaction to the president's measure, many considering it too little and too late. And so the demonstrations will continue. And at this point, as we are approaching the presidential elections, they have become an important element in the Democratic campaign to unseat Trump.
