Life in China is very close to normal. Consumption is up, restaurants are packed, concerts are being held, and museums are open. Other countries should perhaps take lessons from China. That is, if you take aggressive measures and can bring the coronavirus under control, then you can return to life as normal, rather than living constantly under fear and restrictions indefinitely.
The Trump administration believes strongly in a foreign policy of “unilateralism” – that is, America’s interests should be forced on other countries and bodies rather than engaging in politics of compromise and consensus. This poses a threat to the United Nations and the cause of cooperative global governance.
America’s illegitimate unilateralism has not gone unnoticed by other countries, including its own allies. With every abuse of power, the U.S. is harming its image on the world stage.
Nevertheless, while the panel’s ruling is a setback for the United States, it is a victory for China, which will never stop working to safeguard its trade interests in a manner consistent with the WTO.

The resurgence of Chinese economy means a lot globally. As China is the world’s second largest economy as well as its global manufacturing hub, its growth can propel commercial activities around the world.
Human rights, including the rights to an education and employment, are vital to ensure a life worthy of a human being. However, they also lay bare the moral vision of a country and the type of people that country wishes to foster. What the U.S. is doing is both a tragedy and a travesty. It can and must do better.
In an uncertain world, Europe’s commitment to multilateralism is good for stability and acknowledges China’s growing role. Obviously, not all European countries, whether member-states of the EU or not, agree, and sometimes they chart their own foreign policies.
EU is opposed to the U.S. not only on the Iran nuclear issue but also on a variety of issues, including U.S. withdrawal from UNESCO, quitting climate change agreement and quitting WHO.
China will deepen international cooperation in poverty reduction, participate more actively in global governance, and provide more “China programs” for global poverty management.
