He Weiwen: The Abrupt FED Rate Cut: for Fighting COVID-19 or for Stock Market?
The sudden US Federal Reserve rate cut of 50 base points on March 3 was exceptional by any standard. It was not decided at its regular board meeting as the next one will be two weeks later. The urgent action was triggered only by Wall Street crash last week and the extreme pressure from President Donald Trump. FED rate cut shows little help to the fast spread of COVID-19 in US and even mislead the stock market. US President Trump’s effort may be a disaster to US future economy.

Ding Gang: Are voters ready for Sanders’ socialism?
To observe a development model, one should look at not only its vision for the future, but also its inclusiveness and flexibility. The sustainability of a development model often lies in its openness and inclusiveness. Successful reform depends not only on local culture and traditions, but also on whether it can adapt to changes amid global competition. This may help us understand why the Trump administration is considering using a national disaster program to pay for treatment of uninsured patients infected with the coronavirus.

William Jones: Will US system withstand test of COVID-19?
The coronavirus outbreak was a test of the effectiveness of the Chinese Government, so also will the coronavirus be a test of the US system of governance. And problems have already emerged. The initial batch of 200 virus test kits that the CDC had sent to labs were defective. The CDC had also restricted the target groups for testing to those who had recently traveled to China or their contacts. As a result, some people in California and Washington state who had some symptoms, didn't meet the CDC criteria for testing and weren't tested, and one of them has died.

Wang Wen: Virus fight offers cooperation opportunities
I do wish US elites would be more empathetic and far less hypocritical. They need to stop applying a double standard over the virtues of democracy, freedom and human rights which they have always respected. In the face of disasters, pandemics, and climate changes, no country or family can survive on its own - China, the US, and all other countries need to join hands and stop focusing only on their self-interests.

Wang Wen: Will COVID-19 Launch a Coming Global Crisis?
Since the second half of February, the novel coronavirus has been contained in China for the time being; however, it has spread across the world. The world is on high alert; the US stock market has plummeted and global markets are in a state of panic. The epidemic has spiralled out of control in Japan and South Korea, and lockdown measures have been imposed in European cities, increasing the likelihood of a global geopolitical crisis.

Liu Zongyi: India’s discrimination against Muslims ignored by the West
The US and the West have turned a blind eye to India's discriminatory policies and legislation. The brutal conflict that took place during Trump's trip to India should have attracted attention from the US and the West, but they stayed silent only because India is labeled a democracy. Asked by reporters, Trump said the protests were India's internal issue.

Chinese equity market a beacon for rebound on global markets
China's stock market staged a strong rebound from Friday's massive sell-offs on Monday, which experts said could herald global markets' recovery following last week's rout on rising COVID-19 epidemic fears. The experts predict that China's equities market, supported by the country's strong economic fundaments, may in the coming months act as a global capital market stabilizer.

William Jones: U.S.-China decoupling is not an option
Now with the emergence of COVID-19 in countries outside of China, including in the United States (and perhaps with its source somewhere other than the Wuhan seafood market), the neo-cons are taking another tack and demanding the creation of new supply chains for medicines and pharmaceuticals, most of which the U.S. imports from China. Using this dependence, that economic gadfly in the Trump administration Peter Navarro, is now calling for the United States to produce what it needs in this area domestically, all in the name of "national security."

Mostafa Mohammadi: Biosafety challenge calls for greater cooperation
The Covid-19 epidemic is not the first biological threat to humans and will not be the last. There have been several epidemics since the beginning of 21st century, although the West has mostly has managed to avoid the worst, but it does not mean that an epidemic will never seriously trouble those parts of the world. Biological threats are every country's problem, not only those that are most badly challenged by the emergence of a serious public health threat.

Daryl Guppy: COVID-19 is crunch time for your business relationship with China
China's response to the COVID-19 is different to the response to the SARS outbreak. It is an uninvited test of political maturity. And yet, it has been greeted with border closures and racism despite the WHO saying these measures are both unnecessary and counterproductive. The China response stands in stark contrast to H1N1 swine flu which originated in the borderlands of the United States and Mexico, infecting more than 1,600,000 people in 214 countries with a 17 percent mortality rate leading to more than 284,000 deaths.

Zhao Minghao: Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on global economy is an urgent call
As the epidemic escalates, global coordination and cooperation become more important. On the one hand, the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN agencies needs to be given full play. On the other hand, countries must step up the alignment of economic policies. Protectionism is not a good way to revitalize the economy, nor is it good for fighting the epidemic.

Ding Gang: Foreigners who built their China Dream are always welcome back
Since reform and opening-up began in 1978, China's interaction with the outside world has accelerated and China's development has become increasingly fascinating and has attracted many foreigners to study, work and live in China. Many of them have achieved their own dreams with the help of China's fast development, and in return many have contributed to the country's development. Their relations with Chinese people are now like those of close neighbors. Many of these foreigners regard China as their home or at least their second hometown.
