Global policies for "de-dollarization" include sharply reducing US debt holdings, dropping US dollar's status as an anchor currency, increasing non-dollar bulk commodity trade, growing the reserve of non-dollar currencies, and ramping up gold's hedge against the dollar.

CGTN Dialogue cited RDCY Twitter on US policies toward Huawei
CGTN Dialogue cited RDCY Twitter on US policies toward Huawei on July 17. This is a transaltion from Wang Yi's Speech on July 9, Stay on the Right Track and Keep Pace with the Times to Ensure the Right Direction for China-US Relations --Remarks by State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi at China-US Think Tanks Media Forum. And the cited comment is as follows: Its suspicion about China, totally uncalled-for, has reached a point of paranoia. It seems as if every Chinese investment is politically driven, every Chinese student is a spy, and every cooperation initiative is a scheme with hidden agenda.

US travel ban on CPC members ‘paranoid,’ risks dragging ties to 1972
The Trump administration is reportedly considering banning members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and their families from traveling to the US, a paranoid and McCarthyist move driven by ideological bias that will drag bilateral ties back to 1972, analysts said. The presidential proclamation, still in draft form, could authorize the US government to revoke the visas of CPC members and their families who are already in the country, leading to their expulsion, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. Members of the People's Liberation Army and executives at state-owned enterprises may also face travel restrictions to the US.

【AI Jazeera English】Wang Wen: Power, politics and the pandemic—The Sion-American media divide
COVID-19 has the world's two most powerful countries, the United States and China, staring each other down. So far, it has, for the most part, been a war of words and soundbites - a blame game over the origins of the pandemic and each side's response to it, with the news media serving as the primary battleground. The Chinese and American media industries are ideological opposites - one operating under the watch of Communist Party censors, the other under a capitalist free market dominated by a handful of conglomerates. News outlets in both countries have, however, found their own ways to bolster the talking points of their respective governments.

EU’s China measures only ‘symbolic’
In what seemed more like a move to "walk through pressure from the US and the UK," the EU announced on Monday it would take countermeasures against China over the new national security law for Hong Kong. Observers believe members of the bloc, divergent in views and interests, would find it hard to reach consensus in practice. Even if implemented, those measures would only be symbolic, with no significant harm to Beijing.

Wang Wen: China instills certainty into a chaotic world
Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a speech to the China-US Think Tanks Media Forum on Thursday. As one of the organizers of the event, I attended the forum and was impressed by the huge amount of information he made in his remarks. Regrettably, US media outlets failed to adequately report about this most systematic explanation of China's US policy by Chinese policymakers since the deterioration of Beijing-Washington relations. I would therefore like to share my understanding of the speech to the English-speaking world through this column.

Zhang Mengchen: Withdrawal from WHO bad for US, global public health
Since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, the US president has been trying to shift the responsibility for his administration's failure to contain the outbreak at home by blaming the WHO(and China, in good measure) for the spread of the public health crisis. That the WHO has faced threats and criticisms from the White House shows that the US' unilateral approach is not restricted to trade and political matters; it extends to health and other public welfare fields too.

William Jones: Reprieve of Roger Stone and abuse of American justice system
The U.S. media and the liberal establishment have gone bonkers over the commutation by President Trump of the jail sentence handed out by the Federal court to Trump's former adviser Roger Stone, calling it a subversion of the American justice system. It was in fact an attempt to at least partially reassert even-handed justice in a case that was mishandled from the beginning. As the political establishment was wholly intent on preventing newly-elected President Trump from governing on his program of creating new and cooperative relations with China and Russia, the "Russiagate" hoax was initiated in an attempt to bring him down before he succeeded in his desires.
