It should not be difficult for politicians of insight to choose between joining hands to build a community with a shared future for mankind or becoming powerful countries’ pawns to fight and exhaust one another.

Only by transcending the “winner-loser” mindset and exploring a binding solution that is fair, enduring and acceptable to all parties can countries finally rebuild a balanced, effective and sustainable European security framework based on the concept of community.

America’s AI Action Plan reveals the close ideological alignment of the Trump administration with the “tech right,” such as permissionless innovation, anti-woke AI and pro-capital innovation culture.

Today’s international order is shaped by “orbital bipolarity,” dominated by the United States and China, with secondary powers navigating their influence; Europe is limited in its role, China acts cautiously, Russia capitalizes on Western hesitation, and Ukraine remains trapped in the conflict.

Whether the dream is making America great again or the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the aspirations of the two countries’ respective peoples for a better life should drive every decision. Neither people will succeed without a sound external environment. Slogans are not enough.

The legacy of Donald Trump may endure if only because he triggered a new global order through the law of unintended consequences. He has set in motion a major power shift in which China — aligning with India, Russia and key trade blocs — will become the global captain over the next 10 to 20 years.

The war in Ukraine grinds on into its fourth year, and yet peace seems elusive. American President Donald Trump recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. Some hailed this as a breakthrough; others derided it as Trump being “played.”

While presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin both got something out of the virtual bust, Europe and Ukraine are actually relieved that they failed to reach an agreement. This not only preserves Europe’s dignity but keeps the door open for future negotiations.

The summit could mark a turning point in U.S.-Russia relations and lead to a rewriting of the geopolitical playbook. For China, the lesson is that it must hold fast to its principles, maintain strategic composure and pursue its interests on its own terms.

Prohibitive penalties on the poorest countries threaten to destabilize these fragile economies and deprive tens of millions of poor people of their livelihoods. Trump’s tariffs are not only unjustified, but also immoral. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
