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.

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.

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.

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.

Indian hawks, biased media, right-wing political groups should stay rational amid China-India border clash
The clash between China and India on the border that reportedly led to the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers has reignited anti-China sentiment in India and a wave of "de-Sinicization" among Indian citizens.

Indian Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said on Tuesday that "It is time now for the government of India to take some stringent measures. Each sign of weakness on our part makes the Chinese reaction more belligerent. I join the nation in paying tribute to our brave martyrs. The nation stands with you in your hour of grief," India media reported.

Wang Wen: Beijing won't be worse than Wuhan five months ago
China has locked on 11 more neighborhoods in Beijing to contain a new corona-virus outbreak linked to a food market in the capital. Chinese officials say the new cases were found at a second food market where several employees tested positive. It's reported that they are all linked to a market where an outbreak was registered last week. It was shut down on Saturday. Tens of thousands of nearby residents are now being tested. Lengthy queues formed near hospitals on a sports complex in Beijing as part of a mass screening program. The country's seeing a spike in figures after many weeks of reporting small numbers of new cases. It is now registering dozens of new infections for the second day in a row.

Wang Wen: China won't watch globalization die
Data has proven that China is stabilizer of globalization. The WTO on April 8 said that world trade is expected to fall between 13 percent and 32 percent in 2020. The drop will mainly come from the US, whose imports declined 20.5 percent in April from January while exports fell 28.1 percent in the same period. But China's imports and exports in the first five months of 2020 have maintained a slight year-on-year dip of 4.9 percent. Meanwhile, exports in May increased 1.4 percent. China has become ballast stone of world trade.
