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.

The violence that erupted in Hong Kong in what began as a peaceful protest against an extradition bill caught the world by surprise. Rioters smashing store windows and attacking police with Molotov cocktails and other makeshift weapons is unacceptable in any law-abiding society.

Djoomart Otorbaev: Hong Kong needs a special plan for economic reform
These unprecedented waves of protests raise an important question. Why it is happening? Are the protests against the fugitive bill or the foreign intervention? Or are they about democracy or the economics? The main and fundamental reason of the crisis is an economic one. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is gradually but continuously losing its competitiveness to other regions of China, especially to its neighbors. The process has significantly accelerated in last couple of years.

Wang Wen: China’s monetary sovereignty stands strong
By suppressing China, the US wants to maintain global hegemony. But by countering the US, China aims at protecting its own sovereignty. China's purpose is more just. For Chinese people, the US dollar's exorbitant privilege is a bullying act in the finance sector. Fortunately, China's yuan is rising unhindered, and the nation has dealt a blow to the US dollar's exorbitant privilege in defending monetary sovereignty. However, this is still a difficult path and China needs to walk in a more steady fashion.

Zhao Suisheng: China-US new cold war can be avoided
The China-US trade war, the stagnation and ups and downs of trade negotiations between the two major global powers have gained a lot of attention. The trade dispute between China and the US is after all a geopolitical and geostrategic contest. China-US relations are experiencing unprecedented and dramatic changes that have not been seen in the past 40 years since ties were established. But it is possible that China and the US can prevent from falling into the trap of the conflict between big powers, and both of the two countries should strengthen cooperation, understanding and exchanges between them to avoid entering the new cold war."

William Jones: Trump's Space Force is still up in the air
The announcement by President Trump in June of 2018 about the creation of a new Space Force would eventually become a branch of the Department of Defense parallel to that of the Army, Navy, and the Air Force. The concerns about a "Star Wars" in this case may be warranted, depending on how this new Space Force will operate, and with what policy. If the policy of this new Space Force is to serve a single country's geopolitical ambition, then we may well see the world entering a new and dangerous "scramble" for the resources of the cosmos.

Overseas social media targeting pro-China content shows Western double standards on ‘freedom of speech’
Online posts showing support for China have been widely suppressed on overseas social media platforms. Companies like Twitter and Facebook are applying double standards over the issue.

This is "autocratic liberalism," experts say.

Danilo Türk: World is heading toward multipolarity. But what kind?
The American tariff hikes have a limited impact on the global economy. Technological progress can be slowed down as a result of American restrictions, but it cannot be stopped no matter how hard the current US president tries. The world has changed and the era of a seeming unipolarity with the US at the top is irreversibly over. The real question is what kind of multipolar world will emerge in the 21st Century. Its contours can be detected already and it will be, to a large extent, defined by China.
