1 week ago Beijing expands its influence in Eurasia as Trump triggers geopolitical shifts

While United States President Donald Trump aims to end – or at least freeze – the Ukraine conflict and portray himself as a peacemaker, China seems to be quietly expanding its influence in Eurasia – a region that Halford Mackinder, “the father of geopolitics”, viewed as the key to global power. The coming Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, scheduled to start on August 31 in Tianjin, is expected to provide another opportunity for Beijing to strengthen its political, economic and military...

2 w. ago Beijing floods a deadly reminder to prepare for climate change’s worst

When I first arrived in Beijing in the summer of 2012, I was greeted with what local authorities called “a historically rare storm”.

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...
