Analysts expecting a large crash of the Chinese economy will be disappointed, writes Yu Yongding, as China has, in fact, faced far worse financial difficulties.

China’s former model of growth is not sustainable and balanced. China has to shift its growth model to one that is quality-based, environment-friendly, and consumption-driven, writes He Weiwen.

China should foster a stable system that encourages citizens to use their right to expose corruption, expand freedom of speech, and allow the media to expose officials’ corrupt behavior, writes Tong Zhiwei.

China’s long-standing advantage in cheap labor, land, resources and the environment cannot last, let alone lead to great achievements, writes Zhang Monan.
