Zhao Minghao: The world after COVID-19: What a leadership test will bring

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.

It is absolutely absurd to reopen the U.S. economy now
As the number of COVID-19 infections continues to rise, so does the U.S. unemployment rate, which is taking a huge toll on the U.S. economy. However, Donald Trump rushed to announce the news of restarting the U.S. economy. Is it really the right time now? And What's the outlook for unemployment in the U.S.? John Ross, former director of economic and business policy for the Mayor of London and a senior fellow at Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies under Renmin University of China, shares his views with CGTN. The opinions expressed in the video are his and do not necessarily represent the views of CGTN.

Liu Zongyi: China, India need common front to confront COVID-19
The coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted almost every country, and many of the world's leading politicians and scholars are now discussing world order after the crisis. The pandemic will indeed change many things, but for the international political and economic landscape, it will be more of a catalyst, accelerating or revealing political and economic processes that already existed but are not so apparent.

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.

John Ross: Most countries dismiss US' blame-shifting amid pandemic
The coronavirus situation in the US and Europe is now so serious that it is overwhelming the ability of numerous Western governments to develop strategic policies. Given the immense efforts and suffering the Chinese people put into fighting the coronavirus, it is difficult for them to imagine that the situation in the West is very many times worse than it was at the worst moment of the crisis in China. But this reality is proven by the facts.

Wang Wen: Read the past, know the future
Former British prime minister Winston Churchill once said: "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." The COVID-19 pandemic has repeatedly broken people's previous assumptions. At first people thought it was just a new SARS, then it was predicted to likely come to an end when summer arrives.

He Weiwen: Hit hard by virus, China still expected to be bright spot in global recession
China will maintain an average annual growth rate of 5.2 percent for 2020-2021. China has the chance to hit a growth rate higher than 1.2 percent in 2020. On the contrary, both the U.S. and Eurozone economies have been projected to grow by 4.7 percent in 2021, leaving the average annual growth rates at minus 0.7 percent and minus 1.5 percent, respectively. In other words, developed economies will recover to their pre-recession level by 2022.

William Jones: Can US defeat COVID-19 and keep the republic?
The sudden onset of the coronavirus in the US came as a great shock to the nation. We had been watching its progress for some time, but we were somewhat used to seeing viruses appear in Asia or Africa. But this was the United States of America, a modern, developed nation, indeed, the leader of the "free world." Those kinds of things just don't happen here! We have a modern medical system that preserves the health of the nation. There are few remaining survivors of the generation that experienced the last great outbreak of 1918-19, which was inappropriately labeled the "Spanish flu."

West’s pandemic falsehoods debunked
In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, China has worked hard to overcome the peak of the outbreak and people have started to return to work and resume production. It is the hope of people around the world, who are still at the most difficult stage of their anti-virus war, to receive anti-epidemic assistance. Yet some bizarre accusations against China have arisen. This attempt to cast blame on China is designed to divert attention from their own country's inept responses to COVID-19. We must recognize these as obfuscations that so regrettably undermine humanity's efforts to end the pandemic.

Washington defunding WHO a ‘move against humanity’ amid global pandemic
Trump announced on Tuesday the US would halt funding for the WHO over its coronavirus response, accusing the organization of severely mismanaging and covering up the outbreak and claiming that the WHO made a dangerous decision in opposing travel restrictions from China and other nations. This decision to unilaterally slash funding to the organization, which is widely recognized for its essential role in providing global governance over health and disease crises, came after the Trump administration was slammed for mishandling the pandemic, which has so far caused over 600,000 confirmed cases in the US, with reportedly over 2,300 deaths on Tuesday - the highest daily death toll.

Ding Gang: Lack of basic knowledge of viruses a main cause of global pandemic
A system, no matter how perfect it may be, requires people to execute it. Only when they acquire basic knowledge can they make comprehensive decisions and reduce the possibility of negligence when similar crises arise. Even as they become more aware of their personal safety, managerial and grass-root level staff will have a heightened awareness of any emerging crisis, which will prompt them to make timely responses and ensure reporting procedures are followed smoothly.

Liu Zhiqin: Shifting production out of China would be a big mistake for US, Japanese companies
The US and Japan seem to have forgotten the basic fact that their corporations' presence across the globe is the most important foundation stone for their international influence and tech advantages. If the US and Japan move their companies out of China, they will potentially lose the China market, and no other countries can import as many products as China. It will result in a decline in their international role.

Wang Wen: Post-pandemic may be more enlightened era
What humanity now needs is not only a revolution in national governance capacity. We need transformation and adjustment of government behavior and local governance methods to deal with public health crises. We need to help more poverty-stricken areas to avoid becoming a hotbed of viruses. Moreover, we need a revolution in the concept and mind-set of global governance.

Wang Wen: thank Wuhan people's effort! the White House did too little!
One is that China is not the original source of the virus. China is the first country to suffer the virus outbreak, it is first point. Second is no matter the criticism all China brain cannot solve the problems, cannot help us to against the coronavirus, cannot promote the relationship between China and your country, and cannot promote to ask for China’s help in the future. Just my initial point.
