Xi Jinping

MAGA Tribalism

President Donald Trump’s proclamation of a “golden age” for America seems to be emerging from his vision of ultranationalism and global dominance.

Drawing new lines

In November 2017, after a lengthy meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping, Donald Trump boasted that he and Xi can solve “probably all” the world’s problems. Today, he believes he alone can solve all the world’s problems.

Trust deficit remains in India-China ties

An agreement on resolving the standoff in Ladakh was reached on 21 October, just prior to the Brics summit in Kazan, Russia, paving the way for a Narendra Modi-Xi Jinping dialogue at the venue.

A compelling case for pragmatism

When Chinese President Xi Jinping landed in Macau, the world’s gambling capital, the air was thick with anticipation. Macau,often dubbed the “Las Vegas of the East,” is much more than a beacon of wealth and opulence.

Putin and post-communist age

In 1999, just before becoming president, Putin wrote in a Russian newspaper: “For the first time in the past 200-300 years, Russia faces the real danger that it could be relegated to the second, or even the third tier of global powers.”

Dialogue dynamics

India needs to be cognizant of two points the real Chinese intentions and the approach it will adopt to achieve its intended goal. We must not allow the comity of nations to get fooled by the overt display of eagerness to settle the current conflict through dialogue. Secondly, whatever resolution we achieve in this case, going back to status quo ante will be a temporary acceptance of peace by Xi Jinping who is trying to jettison Deng Xiaoping's approach and adopt the more aggressive Maoist philosophy.
