4 d. ago Economists call for structural reforms to shift China’s focus to consumption

While eye-catching technological breakthroughs – led by the DeepSeek artificial intelligence (AI) model – have boosted confidence in China amid intensifying rivalry with the United States, economists at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Tianjin have called for structural reforms to make China a consumption-driven economy. “We can talk about technological supremacy, like AI and all these, but China is never going to be a rich country unless it becomes a big consumer country,” Jin Keyu, a...

2 w. ago Aukus pact up in the air but US to stay focused on China: analysts

The United States may be rethinking its Indo-Pacific strategy with its review of the Aukus security agreement, but its focus on countering China is unlikely to change, according to analysts. The pact with Australia and the United Kingdom has been thrown into doubt with the Pentagon’s announcement this week that it is reviewing the US’ role in the Biden-era agreement to supply nuclear-powered submarines to Australia.
