Liu Zongyi: The belt and road initiative and the us “INDO-PACIFIC” strategy
The BRI is mainly a geo-economic initiative, but there are many ongoing debates on its geo-economic and geostrategic implications. One can observe the geo-economic aspects of the initiative in the report delivered at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October 2017, from which we understand that the BRI has implications that will affect not only the region but global dynamics as well. On a smaller scale, the BRI is one of the concrete measures to balance regional development together with the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Yangtze Economic Belt. On a larger scale, the BRI paves the way in opening China further to the world through trade routes running eastward and westward, across land and overseas.

Wang Wen: What US embassy’s mooncake gift means
I received a special gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year: three boxes of mooncakes from the US Embassy in China. I shared the delicious dessert with my colleagues, and I appreciated the generosity of the senior US diplomat who sent me the gift. Over the past few months, we used to have heated arguments, but it was what that made us friends. Our argument started this spring when the US embassy cancelled my visa to the US without giving an explanation. I had paid tens of visits to the US, had been to more than 20 US states and have been responsible for a major project on China-US people-to-people exchanges. But none of this justifies the cancellation of my visa.

Liu Zhiqin: US needs to stop using tariffs at will
Tariffs are now becoming toys for US President Donald Trump. He always plays the "tariff card" when he feels bored, and he needs to because he is addicted to tariffs. Without tariffs, President Trump has no fun with himself and his team members. resident Trump has used tariffs like an ATM to draw money from other countries. This is ridiculous for the whole world. Whenever he finds a shortage of money to sustain his administration, he begins to threaten others with tariffs, and he acts like a robber who collects money from others' pockets.

Zhao Minghao: Amid festering trade war, frustration mounts inside US
While cranking up the trade war with China, US President Donald Trump's administration is also reinforcing efforts to explain its detrimental effects. In a string of tweets in late August, the president refuted the view that his trade policies were hurting the US economy saying "The Economy is doing GREAT, with tremendous upside potential." He also claimed that "The farmers are going to be so happy when they see what we are doing for Ethanol," and blamed "bad management" instead of the tariffs for the "badly run and weak companies." On August 23, Trump ordered "great American companies" to "immediately start looking for an alternative to China."v

Danilo Türk: The problems of Hong Kong are for the people there to resolve
The mass rallies in Hong Kong over the past months have astonished the world - and probably the people of Hong Kong themselves. On the surface, the problems that initiated the protests are political. However, there is always a deeper reality that feeds the protests and it usually has to do with social economic questions, which define people's daily lives. In the reports covering Hong Kong more and more references are made to the questions of economic opportunities of the young, the rocketing prices of housing and other existing social and economic problems

Liu Zhiqin: US eager to drag China down at own expense
No person or country in this world can defeat the US. In the end, it can only be one of its own presidents who triumphs, and Trump may be that very president. It is US President Donald Trump who has damaged the credibility of the US system. He undermined the country's foundation, the so-called "separation of powers." Trump likes issuing orders, and he changes his mind so frequently that it has almost become a routine. As a result, few countries in the world can seriously reason with the US.

John Ross: Who are really organizing the events in Hong Kong?
The violent protests in Hong Kong are organized and led by external forces, as is evident to anyone who has seen such operations in other countries – for example, the 2014 Euromaidan as a coup d'etat attempt in Ukraine. The claim that these violent actions are "leaderless" or "spontaneous" is completely false as any view of the protesters, who are clearly well organized and trained to deal with the police, and any examination of the political facts, shows. The public leaders of the protests have strong links with both the U.S. and separatists in Taiwan.

William Jones: More exchanges may help restore HK order
The violence that erupted in Hong Kong in what began as a peaceful protest against an extradition bill caught the world by surprise.

Ding Gang: Resurgent identity in ascendant India
Over the past more than 70 years since its independence in 1947, India has been facing the challenge of building national identity.
