4 h. ago Trump recasts US allies as tools to counter China in security playbook: analysts

US President Donald Trump’s new national security strategy frames America’s allies not just as partners, but as instruments to preserve US primacy and counter China’s rise, analysts say. The strategy urges wealthy allies to increase defence spending, align more closely with Washington on measures such as export controls, and take greater responsibility for their regions, a shift that recasts long-standing alliances as tools in great-power competition. The 33-page document declares that the era...

As the Chinese leadership prepares to set the economic agenda for the year ahead, analysts expect Beijing to mostly maintain this year’s policy tone but say it could tolerate a slightly lower growth target. Chinese leaders will hold a closed-door meeting to discuss next year’s main policy goals during the central economic work conference, which usually takes place in early or mid-December. “To address the demand slump, we expect Beijing to maintain its proactive fiscal policy stance, with a...

3 d. ago Why the real AI race is within China and not across the Pacific

For much of the global debate, the race for artificial intelligence (AI) supremacy has been framed as a binary contest between the United States and China. As Washington envisions it, victory hinges on frontier models and compute scale, a battle dominated by a handful of American labs. China is cast as the challenger, constrained by export controls and dependent on catching up. That narrative is increasingly outdated. China is not pursuing a single AI strategy. It is running three large-scale...

Tesla’s reported plan to stop using Chinese-made components in US-built cars aligns with a “significant strategy” in national industrial policy, with some American giants seeking to “completely de-risk” supply chains amid an increasingly tense geopolitical climate, an automotive executive said. Curt Hopkins, CEO of automotive investment platform MCQ Markets in Miami, said Tesla appeared to be “developing a completely dual strategy, where in the US they’re going to de-China, diversify and make...

2 w. ago As China’s tech rises, companies must rethink their R&D strategy

For years, many foreign companies treated China as a vast consumer base or a low-cost manufacturing hub. Now that paradigm is shifting dramatically. China is not just where multinationals scale production or sell at volume; it is increasingly where they make strategic decisions, engage in serious research and development and innovate in ways that will have a global impact. For example, take Toyota’s R&D centre in Changshu, Jiangsu province. Led by local engineers, it has helped develop electric...
