William Jones: As Hong Kong remains calm, many questions still remain
The U.S. Congress has determined to "stay involved" in Hong Kong affairs through the Hong Kong Democracy and Human Rights Act, which was signed into law by Trump on Wednesday. This requires an ever-watchful eye on possible machinations by the U.S. or the British in fomenting problems for China in Hong Kong. While the British Empire disappeared, British imperial thinking has not. And unfortunately, too many of their "American cousins" have also adopted that characteristic British swagger, which has always accompanied the British overlord.

Trilateral trade deal moves closer
China, Japan and South Korea are ready to lower trade barriers for each other, such as cutting tariffs, as they move to hold a fresh round of talks on forging a free trade deal, experts predicted. By such cooperation, the three Asian neighbors aim to hold together and withstand the chill of US-initiated protectionism, they added. China will reportedly hold a new round of trilateral free trade agreement (FTA) talks with South Korea and Japan on forging a free trade deal, according to the Yonhap News Agency.

He Weiwen: China-U.S. Decoupling Is Just a Daydream
The New Economy Forum in Beijing sent a meaningful signal recently: It’s not only academic leaders but members of the public in China and the United States who are worried about the possible decoupling of the world’s two largest economies. Decoupling, in the words of Henry Paulson, former U.S. treasury secretary, would mean the rise of an “Economic Iron Curtain.” Decoupling has been advocated repeatedly by White House hawks as a way of curbing China-U.S. relations in economy, trade, investment, technology and people-to-people exchanges. Their purpose is to check China’s rise as a strategic rival.

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.

William Jones: Will Democrats' rush to impeach secure Trump's re-election?
The United States was subjected to a week of hearings in the House of Representatives by the House Intelligence Committee attempting to make the point that President Donald Trump was unfit for office and should be impeached. The issue was an alleged attempt by the president to use promised military aid as a "wedge" to get the newly elected Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate the role of Hunter Biden, the son of one of his Democratic challengers in the 2020 election, in alleged payoffs from the Ukrainian firm Burisma.

Wang Wen: China not in a position to lead the world
Global governance has reached its most complex period in history. Against this backdrop, new ideas have emerged in the world - some people hope that China can replace the US to become the new global leader. However, I often tell some of my foreign friends not to expect too much from China. China has not yet walked out of the middle-income trap. China does not have that strength and foundation. China has not yet acquired the experience and ability for a global leader. China has neither the will nor the strategy to become a new global leader.

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.
