William Jones: Friendly law will attract more investors
As the Ministry of Commerce noted recently, with the Chinese market further opening up to foreign investment, the commitment to fully implement the new Foreign Investment Law, enacted in January, will prove critical. Given the attempts of the United States president and other leaders to blame China for the US administration's lackadaisical response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, Washington will pressure American (and perhaps European) enterprises to "disinvest" from China for alleged "national security" reasons.

Wang Wen: A Better World Needs to Work Together
The novel coronavirus once allows us again to see the fragility of human beings. It is not a shame to admit we are still so weak and still struggle for survival in the earth.

Experts cast doubts on US vaccine claim
Relations between the WHO and the US have soured after Trump accused the global health body of mismanaging the pandemic and for being "China-centric". Trump has also ordered US funding to the WHO to be halted. The moves have been widely viewed as a way of deflecting attention from the US government's poor handling of the pandemic at home.

Wang Wen: Never underestimate awakening of Chinese people
I live in Wangjing, a quite internationalized area in Beijing. Many Fortune 500 companies are headquartered there, and 10 percent of the around 600,000 residents are expats. Every weekend, I take walks in Wangjing's many parks to exercise and watch the changes in the city.

William Jones: US 'the beacon of hope' has lost its way, headed toward self-destruction
Many international observers have been shocked when they look at the US and see, in the midst of the greatest pandemic since last century, dumbfounding acts: university students romping on the beaches, demonstrators at state capitols without masks demanding an end to quarantine measures, and fake social media campaigns warning about the dangers of being vaccinated. Is this a society gone mad and plunging toward its own destruction?

William Jones: Wuhan showed the way to beat the pandemic
The fundamental commitment of the authorities was to save as many lives as possible, and compared to the lives lost in the fight with the virus in other countries, not least of all, in the US, the cost for China in human life, while tragic, was far less. As the virus began to hit other countries, the "Wuhan model" became the paradigm. And as the fight subsided in China, Chinese teams were sent to other countries to aid them with equipment and with sound advice on combating the spread.

Lin Minwang: Vitriol in Indian media can only poison relations with China, at a time when cooperation is needed in coronavirus fight
The World Health Organisation has praised India’s lockdown measures at an early stage. Nevertheless, the government is facing a storm of media criticism, including accusations of unreliable data on infection numbers and the death toll, and on the measures’ adverse impact on daily-wage workers. The harshest criticism has been aimed at New Delhi’s handling of the hate propaganda against minority groups, specifically Muslims.

John Ross: Why countries should learn from China’s fight against COVID-19
Faced with COVID-19’s onslaught, not one single life will be saved in any country by propaganda, politicization of the crisis or similar diversions. On the contrary, many lives are lost as a result of these – because they obstruct the necessary lessons to fight the virus’s attack. As bluffing will not stop the coronavirus, only correct actions will, it is therefore vital every country learns lessons from China’s successful handling of this crisis.

John Ross: Deadly US policy on Covid-19 will split the world in two and force countries to rethink old alliances
The Donald Trump administration’s failure to take the coronavirus seriously won’t only cause thousands of unnecessary deaths, it could change the global political map for good. The US is now a deadly threat to every person on the planet – that is the inevitable result of Washington’s decision to lift even its very limited lockdown despite the fact the virus continues to rage with full force within the American borders.Domestically, this will mean the death of tens of thousands more Americans, creating a casualty toll on US soil comparable only to the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic and the Civil War. But the international consequences will see the world divided into two zones.

Wang Wen: Wake up world: Chinese youth wave coming
The other day, my son recommended me a piece of 8K music, which means music produced with a high-tech display resolution with superior clarity and depth. As I put on the headphones, it felt like I was surrounded by a full 360-degree wave cycle.

He Weiwen: Wild Allegations vs. Facts
As the COVID-19 pandemic ravages the world, with total cases growing rapidly by the day, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been busy blaming China with unsupported “lab conspiracy” claims and calling the coronavirus the “Wuhan virus.” He presumes to hold China accountable for the origin of the virus and a purported “cover-up.” The attorney general of the state of Missouri filed a lawsuit seeking compensation from China. President Donald Trump shared the allegations. Similar charges and threats against China have come from a few people in European countries, India and Australia, demanding reparations.

Zhao Minghao: Can China, U.S. Emerge Unscathed?
As COVID-19 sweeps across the world, its multifaceted impact on China-U.S. relations is increasingly prominent. A view held in some strategic circles in the United States is that China is using the pandemic in a disinformation campaign designed to elevate its own global influence. As China leads the world recovery, this thinking goes, it will exploit the opportunity to shape the post Covid-19 world.

William Jones: Republican Senatorial Committee lays out clear path for Trump to lose the election
The dimwits in the National Republican Senatorial Committee have issued a clear path for Trump's electoral defeat in 2020. Their recommended election strategy to their colleagues is simple: "Attack China!" A 57-page memo issued by the Committee instructs Republican candidates not to defend President Trump (except for his travel ban from China), but to attack China for the "cover-up" of the coronavirus, leading to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.

Jia Jinjing: BRI cooperation vital in fight against virus
A patchwork of approaches adopted by governments across the world in the fight against the coronavirus have led to differing results, proving that isolating and quarreling are pointless and harmful in the face of a global crisis, and only through cooperation can we defeat our invisible enemy. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a global cooperation mechanism that has proven capable of saving lives from the deadly virus and bringing more opportunities for the world's economic recovery.

Zhao Minghao: The world after COVID-19: What a leadership test will bring
As the novel coronavirus continues to spread globally, the question around "how the pandemic will shape the world" has received much attention. As UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, this is the greatest test for humanity since WWII. So far, the disease has represented an overwhelming public health challenge, likely to trigger an economic recession and social unrest – all of which constitute a complicated crisis which has far-reaching implications for the world order.

Danilo Türk: Cooperation, leadership vital to defeat pandemic
There is no doubt that the current, unprecedented global economic slowdown caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic requires unprecedented measures of global cooperation. However, the current global action is sadly insufficient and the future looks uncertain.True, the Extraordinary G20 Leaders' Summit offered a glimmer of hope. Several good proposals were made, but they were not given adequate attention in the international media and in the work of decision-makers. Many are focusing on other themes, mainly revolving around the statistics of the pandemic and its victims, and on measures taken at the level of countries.
