Ding Gang: Buddha’s birthplace hints at Asian century
All planes flying from Kathmandu to Lumbini in southwestern Nepal are air minibuses. Shortly after the aircrafts take off, what heaves in sight is usually undulating mountains on the edge of the mighty Himalayas. Only half an hour later, passengers could see an immense plain. It is a gateway to the core of Indian civilization. Google Maps shows the driving distance from Lumbini to New Delhi is about 800 kilometers.

He Yafei: Decoupling U.S.-China Ties Is Not An Option
The U.S.-China relationship has often been portrayed by leadership of both countries over the last 40 years and more as not only one of politics and economics but a relationship that ultimately is underpinned by people. There seem to be a lot of different understandings of what young Chinese are like today. How would you describe to an American what the modern young Chinese living in the big cities are today?

Ding Gang: Latin American woes stem from globalization
Contrary to popular belief, it is not doctrines that are dominating Latin American politics, but globalization. If we still use neoliberalism or any other concept invented by Western scholars to explain what Latin America is passing through, our understanding of the continent may not be right. We can only understand the problems of Latin American countries by observing them in an already globalized world, especially comparing them with Asian countries.

William Jones: The source of Hong Kong's problems lies in Washington
While President Trump maintains a guarded silence on the violence in Hong Kong, and is getting hit by much of the conservative press for his not speaking out "in support of" the bomb-throwers on Hong Kong streets, many of his underlings are playing these provocations to the hilt, just stopping short of breaking with the President's hope that this all will end peacefully.

Wang Wen: Witnessing progress through wheels of time
Nevertheless, from these trips I have recognized that history is unpredictable. The transformation from glory to decay, and from unity to division is always hard to notice. The political unrest in Chile and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China in 2019 has further proven this. Under such metamorphosis, China's rise has reached a moment that is the nearest to the country's great rejuvenation. The Chinese need to observe the world more carefully, remain humble and take lessons from those once powerful major countries and emerging economies.

He Yafei: China Needs the World and Vice Versa
China’s view of the world can be summed up succinctly by President Xi Jinping’s remark that “the world has been undergoing the most profound changes unseen in the last century.” On China’s international engagements, my conclusion is pure and simple: China needs the world and the world also needs China. Please note carefully that I said “need,” which should not be taken to mean that some relationships are indispensable.

Wang Wen: ‘Gn’ shows how power structures shape new intl governance mechanism
It is hard to imagine that Azerbaijan, a country that ranks above 90 in terms of area and population, has such a global appeal, if you haven't taken part in Global Baku Forum. I almost thought President Ilham Aliyev was the leader of a superpower, when he stood in the center of more than 40 former presidents and prime ministers from more than 30 countries and posed with them for pictures at the opening ceremony.

He Yafei: Global Changes Require China to Open Further
The world today faces profound changes unseen in a century, including in its economy. The rapid development of multi-polarization and economic globalization over the past several decades has brought about major changes in the balance of economic power. These changes are characterized by the rise of new powers in the East and the fall of old ones in the West, with the overall strength of developing countries and emerging economies rising considerably.

Zhao Minghao: Great importance attached to phase one China-U.S. trade deal
Simultaneous tariffs cancellation on each other's goods is an important condition for China and the U.S. to reach a "phase one" trade deal, said Gao Feng, spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce at a press conference held on November 7. The phase one trade deal is an important step towards the unwinding of a trade war that has inflicted significant damages to the interests of both sides. As Republican Senator David Perdue of Georgia said, the amount of trade in the phase one deal is modest, but it can prevent the two countries from slipping into a "Cold War."

Ding Gang: Rejecting RCEP won’t make India a winner
After India decided not to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), some officials and scholars inside the country claimed it is "a win for all those protecting national interests." But it is China that is likely to be the real winner as with India's withdrawal, China has lost a potential challenger. Indian media reports said that New Delhi's decision not to join the free trade pact will prevent Chinese products from flooding the Indian market, which may have dealt a body blow to Indian medium and small enterprises.

Zhao Minghao: Pence Speech Sent Confusing Signals
As China and the United States continued phase one of their consultations aiming for a trade deal, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech at the Wilson Center on China policy in which he said the U.S. is seeking “a fundamental restructuring of our relationship with China.” About a year ago, his speech on the same topic at the Hudson Institute was widely seen as a declaration of a new U.S. cold war with China.

He Weiwen: Facing the global headwind, China's economy offers hope
The second China International Import Expo (CIIE) opened on November 5, in the midst of a synchronized sharp slowdown in 90 percent of the world's economies. The second CIIE also offers a hope for the world with a vast, fast-growing Chinese market and a firm commitment to open the door ever wider, which explains the very high business attendance from the world over, with 330,000 square meters show area, 10 percent up from the first CIIE.

Guan Zhaoyu: Greece Connects China with Europe, Cultural Communication Under 17+1
17+1 is not just limited to economic trade but also refers to cultural communication. Since 2019 there have been 36 Confucius Institutes in CEE countries. This number has increased by 50 percent over five years. Especially in Hungary, where there are five Confucius Institutes now. From 2012 to 2019, the number of registered students in Confucius Institutes has increased from 15,000 to 52,000 thousand in CEE countries.

Wang Wen: Embracing and benefiting from China the best choice for the world
During my Cairo visit, I suggested to a few Egyptian diplomats that their country should allow visa-free entry for Chinese passport holders so they could visit and help promote Egypt's economic development. I was surprised to hear the reasons why this would be difficult. Apparently, there aren't enough hotels, only a few shopping malls, an underdeveloped payment system, and a shortage of Chinese tour guides. If there are too many Chinese traveling in Egypt, the country could not handle it, they explained.
