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.

The efficacy of President Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid strategy has once again come into sharp focus, with the country recording its first deaths from novel coronavirus since May, while also recording increased numbers of cases.

XI Jinping and Joe Biden arrived in Bali for this week’s G20 summit buoyed by recent domestic successes. Their three hours of bilateral discussions on Monday may not have yielded any substantial results, but the extended and apparently amicable face-to-face encounter may help to decelerate rising Sino-US tensions.
