Since its establishment, CCG has paid close attention to international relations and China's foreign affairs, tracking the development and changes of China's bilateral economic and trade relations with the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, Australia, the Middle East and other countries and regions, and has been devoted to research on China-US-Europe cooperation, the Belt and Road Initiative, WTO reform, CPTPP and other multilateral topics, as well as providing recommendations for policymaking.
The annual flagship forums held by CCG for successive years have contributed to discussion on China-U.S. relations and China-EU cooperation, promoted international exchange, and given full play to the role of think tanks in track II diplomacy. CCG regularly conducts research and exchanges in multiple countries, and published a series of Chinese and English research reports on China-U.S. economy and trade relations.
The think tank hosts a series of roundtable seminars all year round, and invites think tank experts and scholars, political leaders, business elites and diplomats from the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan, Germany, Egypt and other countries to discuss and exchange views on international relations and multilateral cooperation.

Zamir Ahmed Awan: Creation of Space Force may lead to arms race
President Donald Trump, with the signing of the $738 billion defense budget for the year 2020, has initiated an arms race around the world. The creation of the Space Force includes about 16,000 military and civilian personnel. These include 2,500 military operators, another 6,200 enlisted personnel and about 3,400 civilians. The space force will be the first new branch of the US military in more than 60 years. Several current US Air Force bases eventually will be renamed as they host, mainly, Space Force functions. The list includes Peterson Air Force Base, Schriever Air Force Base, Buckley Air Force Base, Patrick Air Force Base and Vandenberg Air Force Base, among others.

He Yafei: Decoupling won’t do any nation any good
Thanks to its fixation with China as a "major strategic competitor", the US administration's strategy of "decoupling" from China is in vogue in the United States.

The Chinese companies and public security organs were placed on what is called an "entity list", which bans them from buying American technology unless Washington grants a specific waiver.

Wang Huiyao: US makes vain attempt to win trade war
The day after the 12th round of Sino-US trade talks concluded on July 31 in Shanghai, the United States administration announced it would impose 10 percent tariffs on another $300 billion of Chinese goods starting Sept 1, ignoring the fact that the two sides had called the talks "constructive" and agreed to hold the next round of talks in Washington. Not content with that, the US administration later labeled China a "currency manipulator" to put "maximum pressure" on China in order to achieve its selfish, narrow goals.

Laurence Brahm: Does Washington fear yuan’s evolution?
By labeling China a "currency manipulator" following Washington's threat to impose 10 percent tariffs on another $300 billion of Chinese goods from Sept 1, the US Treasury Department has dealt another serious blow to bilateral ties. The United States has labeled China a "currency manipulator" even before. But in the current context, it reflects the US' intolerance of the existing world order, and international trade and economic rules which are different from its own.
