Francis Fukuyama: American Weakness?

In writing about Ukraine, I’ve tried to avoid referring everything back to American domestic politics. This generally feeds a syndrome that Robert Lieber referred to in this journal as “strategic narcissism,” in which Americans believe that everything turns on what American politicians say and do. However, in the current Ukraine crisis, a lot does hinge on perceptions of American power and likely actions, so reference to our trouble politics is in fact merited.

Zamir Ahmed Awan: The Ukraine crisis is a tragedy of the modern world

I believe that the human being is the most precious thing in this universe, everything else serves the human being. Invasions, wars, are total disasters for humanity. In any religion, culture, civilisation, killing is never preached nor appreciated.

John Ross: Opinions on Sanctions on Russia

The Russian military operation against Ukraine is taking its toll, both on the Russian and Ukrainian side. But there is another toll taking place, and that is the economic toll. There are no ambiguities about how the avalanche of sanctions against Russia is destroying the Russian economy, but what about the economy of European countries, or the US for that matter?

Zhao Minghao: US hardly leads the West out of helplessness, but is in fact the cause

As the Munich Security Report 2022 points out, many Western people believe that they are living in a "new era of successive and interconnected disruptions," and there is a growing "collective helplessness."

Liu Zhiqin: Is China a key motivation for Australia’s A$804 million Antarctica funding boost?

In the past week, since Australia announced an A$804 million (US$578 million) to boost scientific research on Antarctica, its efforts have been framed as part of the ongoing competition for influence with China that stretches from the Indo-Pacific to the frozen continent.

William Jones: China Will Maintain a Steady Course in a Challenging Time

China has begun the annual “two sessions” of its national legislature and top political consulative body in a very unsettled global environment. The Russian military action in Ukraine as well as the massive sanctions regime imposed by the West on Russia, a major producer of the world’s energy supply, has created a challenging environment for any country to make plans for the future. Nevertheless, in his government work report, which traditionally begins the legislative period, Premier Li Keqiang expressed confidence that China would remain on a course of stable development. This is also the year for the convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) which will determine the leadership team going forward and lay out the blueprint perhaps for the next decade or longer.
