Liu Ying: Epidemic will have limited impact on trade
The novel coronavirus outbreak will impact China's trade in the first quarter of this year. In the short run, the epidemic's impact on China's exports will be larger than that on imports. To cope with the adverse impact of the epidemic on China's economy, the country has launched macroeconomic and fiscal measures to support China's imports and exports. And the global supply chain will rapidly recover in the second quarter as the epidemic is effectively brought under control.

Jean-Guy Carrier: Love and amity the most effective vaccine
The Chinese people see China's entry into the WTO is proof that their country was stepping out into the world, and that the world was turning increasingly toward China. But events took a surprising turn when the SARS epidemic broke out in China in November 2002. By early 2003, the SARS virus had spread to 17 countries. The outcome of the coronavirus outbreak is likely to be the same as that of the SARS epidemic. However, The difference is not with the coronavirus so much as it is with the reality of China's return to the global stage and its influence as an engine of the global economy.

Sergey Glaziev: 'Russia supports' China's fight against outbreak of coronavirus
Measures taken by Chinese government to fight the coronavirus epidemic are impressive. The whole world is delighted with the speed and scale of the measures taken to prevent the spread of infection, as well as the cohesion and discipline of the Chinese people facing a new health threat.For us (Russia), China is a strategic partner with a long friendship and cooperation.

William Jones: Nobody likes a bully
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his sidekick and fellow West Pointer, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, descended on the Munich Security Conference (MSC), like Batman and Robin into Gotham City, to "save" the people from the "evils" lurking around them, in this case China and Russia. "The West is Winning" Pompeo trumpeted triumphantly to what must have been a surprised audience, gathered to discuss how the Cold War was over and that new forms of collaboration between nations had to be established.

Ong Tee keat: The Unorthodox Lunar New Year
The Year of Rodent in 2020 will leave an indelible mark in my memory as we usher in the Lunar New Year against the gloomy backdrop of the onslaught of Coronavirus.

The urgency to understand China's Xinjiang narrative
The issue of Xinjiang has repeatedly been brought up in Western criticism for China. It almost comes as a "handy weapon" for some politicians when they find it necessary to play down China.However, to judge the issue from a "right or wrong" point of view is to fail to grapple the complexity behind the debate. Controversies around Xinjiang are a mirror that reflects some deep differences in terms of how the West and China see issues like human rights, freedom, governance and development.

He Weiwen: US’ WHO funding cut plan amid epidemic exposes lack of responsibility
Just as the world is combating the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), Ebola and locust plague in Africa, the US government seeks to halve its funding for the World Health Organization (WHO). It's selfish and indifferent moves once again clearly exposes a severe lack of international responsibility. Instead of providing aid as it should have, the US again makes baseless fear-mongering actions and words, all of which have been quelled by China's open, transparent, responsible stance, and its positive cooperation with the WHO.

William Jones: A much distress regenerates a nation, 中国,加油!!
The outbreak of the coronavirus in China came as a great shock to the world. And the emergency measures taken by the Wuhan authorities and by the Central Government have been singularly important in attempting to limit the spread of the disease in China and the rest of the world. The courageous efforts of the Chinese medical personnel and the citizenry in dealing with an overwhelming event which tested the capacity of the extensive medical infrastructure in the city has represented a degree of heroism seen otherwise only in the case of war.

He Yafei: Challenges for China in U.S. Election Year
The U.S. general election this year will be a special one in American politics. Bilateral ties will see greater uncertainty, and relations will be even more difficult to handle. All of this suggests China needs to maintain strategic calm, think from a long-term perspective, adhere to principles, observe developments with a cool mind and avoid jumping to rash conclusions about certain matters as they suddenly crop up.

Wang Wen: Too Early To Talk About China-U.S. P2 Trade Agreement
China and the US signed the phase one (P1) trade agreement on Jan. 15, 2020. Additionally, in a recent interview, US Vice President Mike Pence said that negotiations for the phase two (P2) trade agreement are already under way. But in my opinion, the top priority now for the two powers is deciding how to ensure the implementation of the phase one trade agreement.

Ding Gang: Foreign perceptions won't influence China
What the outside world sees from the epidemic is not static but dynamic. The situation in China is undergoing rapid changes. It is these changes that will eventually break preconceived views and give the world a more comprehensive understanding of China. Today's China is still in its developing phase and one of the main challenges in the future will be how it tackles its domestic problems. China's development is not determined by how the outside world sees China, but how China remains firm on its chosen path. In this process, it is of vital importance that China's governance system should advance with the times and have a strong ability to self-correct.

Willism Jones: There's no doubt China will bounce back from epidemic's impact
There has been a great outpouring of sympathy for China throughout the world in the wake of the sudden outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia. But, at the same time, those forces in the West who have been adamantly opposed to the admission of China into the pantheon of world powers, have seen this catastrophe as an opportunity to throw new obstacles in the path of China's rise.
