Opinion | Why China is more willing to utilize countermeasures in its diplomacy than before China's willingness to take countermeasures against the US is largely a new phenomenon over the past year, one which it was not willing to do in previous years. In years past, Washington could impose all kinds of measures on Beijing, which would draw its protest, but never undertake any kind of clear strategic retaliation. This poses the question, why has China got tougher, more precise and confident in its dealings with the US? And to what extent does this keep Donald Trump in check?

Opinion | Understanding 'forced labour' claims are about supply chain dominance, not ethics As reported last week, the United States added 47 Chinese firms to a blacklist accusing them of utilising "forced labour" and subsequently banning their goods from the United States. The move was the first such in Trump's new administration, enacting the legal authority of the "Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act" of 2021.

Opinion | Behind the US-Saudi deal and the attempt to 'remake' the Middle East As reported by the BBC, the United States and Saudi Arabia "signed a landmark deal that will allow the Gulf kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear programme." The deal, described as "a peaceful nuclear co-operation agreement," will provide "great access for American companies in the Saudi nuclear energy program," alongside the caveat that China and Russia are kept out. The deal comes at a critical moment amidst an ongoing war between the US and Iran, Saudi Arabia's rival in the region, wherein peace efforts have largely failed.

Opinion | Why Kimi K3 shows China isn't losing the AI race by any stretch Last week, Chinese Artificial Intelligence (AI) company Moonshot released the third edition of the Kimi app, known as K3. The founder of the firm, Yang Zhilin, had pursued his technology career in the United States and worked for big magnates such as Google, that was before he returned to China amidst a McCarthyist witch-hunt against Chinese scientists and technology professionals.

Opinion | The US retreats over Hong Kong As reported by the Associated Press (AP), "The United States said Saturday it did not renew a national emergency declaration over Hong Kong, leading to the lifting of partial sanctions." While the Trump administration did not restore Hong Kong's special privileges as a separate customs territory, it nonetheless marked the most significant retreat over the city since the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act" was imposed in 2019 to support the riots which engulfed the city, and later as a response to the city's National Security Law of 2020.
