Zhang Jingwei: 'Color revolution' stands no chance of success in HK
In the past two months or so, Hong Kong has witnessed intensifying violence on its busy streets by mindless rioters. Their illegal acts have seriously affected people's daily lives with traffic jams and a paralyzed Hong Kong International Airport. They have also grossly violated the basic human rights of other people while damaging Hong Kong's image in addition to trampling on freedom of the press. These illegal acts indicate that not only has the anti-legislation campaign against the extradition-law amendments gotten out of control, but also has shown signs of terrorism and even a "color revolution".

Wang Wen: Clout eroded as US shirks intl duties
A few months ago, I attended a thematic seminar in Europe on global governance. The organizers invited representatives from think tanks of more than 10 countries. At the end of the discussion, a few delegates realized there were no US scholars present. Last year, at a seminar in Istanbul, when it came to discussing the next steps in the Middle East and the role of the US, one scholar told the US delegates that the best way for the Middle East to grow is for the US to exit the region. Both experiences inspired me to ask, is the US still playing an important role on the world stage?

Liu Zhiqin: The US needs to redefine its role in the world
What will the world be like without the US? So far no think tank has touched this topic and no one has been seriously considering it. However, it is a question which calls for attention and in-depth study. It will be a big challenge, but one that is unavoidable.In fact, what the world needs is a new US - a country without prejudice and ruthlessness, a country that consistently acts on its word, and a country that respects others. The world will be fortunate if the US can become this country.

He Weiwen: US threat to WTO won't get it anywhere
The US leader signed a memorandum on July 26, directing the Office of the United States Trade Representative to stop treating "advanced economies" such as China as developing countries according to the World Trade Organization's rules, and urging the WTO to change its definition for developing country within 90 days. But since major reforms to the WTO require consensus (in effect unanimity) among all members, the world trade body cannot change the definition, even if it wants to.

Zhao Minghao: US approach to Hong Kong problem puts trade negotiations in trouble
Recently, US officials, including President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have commented on the Hong Kong situation on different occasions. Trump warned China on August 18 that violent crackdown on the protests in Hong Kong would harm trade talks with the US. Expected to be held in September, the 13th round of China-US trade talks is still subject to uncertainty. If the US continues to step up its interference in the Hong Kong affairs, it would become more difficult to reach an agreement between the two countries to end the trade war.

Liu Zhiqin, a senior fellow at Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, said the tariff war will not make America richer and America has to realize how it is hurting the world economy.
