24 h. ago US public backs active role in global affairs, including Taiwan defence: poll

The American public still wants the United States to be “engaged and take the lead” in international affairs, with support increasing for military intervention if Taiwan were to be attacked, according to a new survey.

60 h. ago America’s opioid crisis won’t be solved without India’s help

Much has been written about China’s alleged role in the US opioid crisis.

2 w. ago Nuclear submarines deal: is Seoul falling too far into US Indo

Washington’s approval for South Korea to build nuclear-powered submarines has become a turning point in the alliance, analysts say, one that is already pushing Seoul towards a more explicit role in the United States’ broader Indo-Pacific strategy to counter China. As the US military reframes the region around a “strategic triangle” linking South Korea, Japan and the Philippines, observers say Washington has already begun “presenting the bill” for its endorsement of the submarine project –...

China’s trade has displayed remarkable resilience this year. Its goods trade expanded 4 per cent year on year for the nine months so far in yuan terms, according to customs data. Quarterly growth accelerated from 1.3 per cent at the start of the year, to 4.5 per cent by midyear and finally to 6 per cent.
