49 h. ago After Nato chaos, ‘irrelevant’ Europe shambles towards China summit

For months since the return of US President Donald Trump, there has been a roaring trade in papers and speeches about how to make Europe a truly independent geopolitical player.

But the independence movement was on the ropes this week, when a series of summits thrust Europe’s weakness on global affairs into the spotlight ahead of a bout of engagement with China. On Monday, a meeting of...

7 d. ago China not likely to use navy to secure Hormuz Strait, analyst says

China is highly unlikely to use its navy to secure the vital Strait of Hormuz if Iran threatens to close it as Middle East tensions rise, a top US analyst told reporters Monday. Although China depends heavily on Middle Eastern oil, its approach would be shaped by quiet negotiations and self-interest, not direct military intervention, Richard Fontaine, chief executive of the Center for a New American Security, a Washington-based think tank, said. Fontaine spoke at a CNAS press briefing on the...

9 d. ago Routine or rising tensions? Chinese ambassadors in exodus from West Africa

Several Chinese ambassadors from West African nations have bid farewell to their host countries in recent weeks. While some analysts suggest their departure could be routine rotations for diplomats, one said it could be a subtle message sent to Sahelian regimes amid rising tensions over resource nationalism and security concerns.
