Salute to Wuhan citizens for their sacrifice
The city of Wuhan, Central China's Hubei Province, has announced that outbound channels at Wuhan's train stations and airports would be closed starting from 10 am Thursday, and bus, subway and ferry services would also be shut down. The notice also requires that local residents should not leave Wuhan if there are no special reasons. This is a huge move from local authorities amid the escalating novel coronavirus epidemic.
Davos reflects uncertainties, expectations
The 50 years of Davos reflects the process of China integrating into the world and how the country and the world have mutually shaped each other. China probably can and has brought more certainty than Trump to the world.
Timely disclosure key to contain virus
Having undergone outbreaks of SARS and H5N1, China is able to launch preventive and control measures rapidly after it is aware of the seriousness of the novel coronavirus.

Vigilance needed on Wuhan pneumonia
With the Spring Festival approaching, we have to strengthen our vigilance and be confident in the government agencies and medical institutions that are striving to safeguard the safety of the Chinese public and prevent the holidays from being ruined by the new disease.
Prevent Wuhan virus for auspicious festival
The new epidemic in Wuhan is not as horrible as SARS. We sincerely hope Chinese society can be more successful in preventing and controlling the pneumonia, and move a big step forward in terms of medicine, social management and public opinion compared with 2003.

We hope the implementation of the phase one agreement will be smooth as it can stimulate the two countries' further trade consultations and help ease overall China-US relations. History moves forward and it is good to help achieve progress.
HRW's criticism of China is a lie
People like Roth should go deep into a huge society like China and really understand what is going on there and what people really care about. The likes of Roth should seriously study the world, not arrogantly represent the world.
China, US move to normalize trade
In 2020, China must do its best to develop its economy, expand its domestic market and make sure that its economy is one of the most dynamic among the large economies. The prospect of China-US trade negotiations is largely in our own hands.
Cross-Straits situation needs pragmatism
Eventually, cross-Straits reunification will be led by the Chinese mainland. Positive changes on Taiwan need to be started by the mainland. To finally achieve cross-Straits reunification, we need the determination and endurance to bear more pressure.
China can maintain one-China principle

Tsai and DPP must curb radical tendency

China's strategic willpower leads to progress

How should China develop in the 2020s?
China has been moving forward. It is a bit tired, but China has been doing great.

This round of US-Iran conflicts came suddenly, and the world has been caught unawares. The situation needs to be slowed down, which can create room for all kinds of positive options. The Iran nuclear issue had already made a soft landing, and the Gulf situation had seen an upturn. It is hoped that all parties can try hard to retrieve such situations.
Australia bushfires a wake-up call for the world
It is difficult for a country like Australia to respond to a national fire disaster all by itself. Previously, Brazil's Amazon rainforest fires were equally prominent. How the world should join hands to deal with such a disaster crisis deserves serious discussion.
US gains limited from changed China policy
Although the US has benefited from its China policy recalibration, its gains are limited. How far will the US move to restructure its relations with China go? It hinges on the changes in US domestic politics as well as China's will and art in wrangling with the US.
