4 d. ago Taiwan’s opposition KMT has an opportunity, but who will take charge?

After Taiwan’s main opposition Kuomintang survived two mass recall votes, the party’s supporters are hoping it can make more gains in next year’s local polls – and even potentially regain power in 2028. But the party is not celebrating. Instead it is consumed by anxiety over who will succeed Eric Chu Li-luan when he steps down as chairman in October, a role seen by some as a poisoned chalice. It is a volatile time in Taiwanese politics. The proportion of voters with a favourable view of the...

1 week ago The US is heaping pressure on Venezuela. What will China do?

Beijing is likely to increase its economic support for Venezuela, its only all-weather strategic partner in South America, as tensions rise between Washington and Caracas. However, analysts suggest that China will hold back on direct military aid or actions that could provoke a direct confrontation with the United States. The assessment comes after Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Thursday that China opposed “any move that violates the purposes and principles of the United...

2 w. ago How Beijing and other South China Sea claimants can see eye to eye

Few disputes in Asia are as enduring – and as polarising – as those over the South China Sea. For more than a decade, two sharply opposed narratives have dominated. In one, Beijing is seen as using force, or the threat of force, to change the status quo, undermining peace and stability. In the other, China is portrayed as exercising restraint, acting within its rights and working to safeguard regional stability. These perspectives are not merely different; they are mutually exclusive. One side’s...
