Ding Gang: Public awareness helps curb epidemic, rumors
"No public health gain is achieved without a battle." The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus reminded me of these words of American M.D. Milton I. Roemer, which are printed on the back cover of a book I read several years ago - The Healthiest City: Milwaukee and the Politics of Health Reform, published in 1996.

Danilo Türk: Int'l cooperation against coronavirus is urgently needed
Now is a good time to remind the world leaders of the half-finished debates of the past two decades and of the need to strengthen the international cooperation for an adequate protection against the global spreading of infectious diseases.Peace is more than a mere absence of a global war. Peace requires much more and protection of lives against epidemics must be a priority. This is not a time for futile criticism of globalization, but rather a time for strengthened multilateral cooperation, which alone can secure a peaceful and a more prosperous world.

William Jones: The psy-war attitude towards China during the coronavirus crisis must cease
The outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan caught everyone by surprise. At the beginning of the Spring Festival holiday travel, the danger of a rapid spread was particularly dangerous. At the point it was discovered, the reaction of the government was swift and comprehensive, both with regard to prevention as well as detection. The Chinese government is following the development of the disease closely from the get-go and have taken extraordinary measures at the national level to deal with the crisis. All Spring Festival celebrations were canceled for the sake of people's health.

Ding Gang: Why isn’t the BRI a strategy of China?
Western strategists have intentionally or unintentionally ignored the fact that China has not called the "Belt and Road" a strategy, but an initiative. One of the reasons is that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is not China-centric, nor to create an alliance. BRI is a cooperative initiative targeted at development. It aims to build a platform to achieve joint development with other countries. China does not engage in building a closed circle excluding other countries.

William Jones: U.S. Congress has no say in the future of Tibet
It's not the first time that Congress has shown an interest in the region. In 2002, Congress passed the Tibet Policy Act, which called for political discussions between China and the Dalai Lama who had spent an awful lot of time soft-soaping U.S. legislators on the issue.

Blocking Huawei will harm China-UK relations
Refusing Huawei will severely harm China-UK relations and undermine Chinese companies' confidence in the British investment environment, Chinese Ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming told the Global Times on Monday. The likely plan to not use Huawei will also "hinder the development of the British telecommunications industry and hurt Britain's image in the eyes of global investors as an open and inclusive partner for cooperation," the ambassador said in an emailed reply to questions from the Global Times.

Wang Wen: How can the US sell more goods to China?
Can China digest such a huge increase in imports from the US? I think the country has the potential, but it might be stuffed in the short term. It's like people who have a good appetite, but one might choke up if eating too fast. The key issue is, when such a situation occurs, it might impact the original process of structural adjustment in China's growth in social consumption. There will be fierce competition in Chinese markets among US products, other foreign merchandise and Chinese goods.

Wang Peng: Confucius Institutes in Brazil and BRICS Education Cooperation
For the most part of the first decade in the 21st century, the five BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa —were among the fastest growing emerging markets. Certainly, the term, first coined as “BRIC” by Goldman Sachs in 2003, does not mean that these countries are a political alliance (like the European Union) or a formal trading association, though they have the potential to form a powerful economic bloc. Leaders from the BRICS countries regularly attend summits together and often act in concert with each other’s interests.

He Weiwen: Washington Misinterprets China’s System
Over the past two years, Washington has unilaterally and repeatedly imposed tariffs and otherwise pressured China based on a fundamental accusation — that China practices “state capitalism,” or statism.” The 2016 report to Congress by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission said that China had been pursuing a series of industrial policies to help its domestic companies gain an unfair advantage over their foreign competitors in the overseas market.

Iran weakness shown by protests
"A good hand" was dealt Iran in handling the US assassination of Major General Qasem Soleimani, but Tehran didn't play it well, and now the situation has turned against itself, revealing flaws in the country's crisis management, analysts said.Earlier this month, on January 5-7, after the assassination of Soleimani, hundreds of thousands of Iranian demonstrators across the country showed their fury toward the US. But days later, after Iran admitted to shooting down the Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737 that caused 176 deaths, protests erupted against the Iranian authorities and military forces.

Moreover, after the signing, the US will maintain 25 percent tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese imports, along with 7.5 percent tariffs on $120 billion of Chinese imports, according to the Office of the US Trade Representative.
