While the Western outlook on global governance reveals defects and weaknesses, the new outlook proposed by BRICS countries has attracted broad international attention.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently stated that multipolarity is not only the preference, but the norm in the Trump administration—a dramatic shift in U.S. foreign policy. But unlike China’s globally engaged model, Rubio’s approach prioritizes U.S. interests, reflecting a more transactional and less globally engaged stance.

China and Russia, long united by shared strategic objectives, have formed a quasi-alliance that poses a significant challenge to U.S. interests. As the Trump administration navigates this complex relationship, could strengthening U.S. alliances and boosting military readiness be the key to countering this formidable partnership?

Greenland is synonymous with the far reaches of the Northern Atlantic, out of the way of major global events, but now with an ever growing demand for energy and Donald Trumps’ bold overtures, could the remote island become a hotbed of competing global interests?

China must see to its own domestic affairs and promote all-around socioeconomic progress. Externally, it must walk the path of peaceful development without wavering, adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace and hold fast to multilateralism to foster solidarity with other nations. Only in this way can we overcome the severe challenges that are coming our way.

It’s no longer just a movie: The risk of a nuclear accident, mistake or blunder that escalates into war is a tangible reality. U.S.-China engagement is urgently needed and could produce more stability and sustainability than many other areas of cooperation in the face of new and evolving nuclear risks.

Africa’s growing affinity for China draws both excitement and concern from observers the world over, while African leaders themselves seem drawn to the material benefits China is offering. What has China really done for Africa’s developing nations thus far?

The West’s dominating influence around the world has come under heavy scrutiny as open conflicts rage on in Europe and the Middle East. Does this year’s BRICS Summit, hosted in Russia, represent an inflection point in the global community’s tolerance for U.S.-led order?

A growing number of voices warn of a coming global conflict of catastrophic proportions. Such messages must be interrupted. The world must not sleepwalk into war. As it moves to the center of the world stage, China not only calls for peace but actively plans it.

The new Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, is a reformer who may represent a change in the country’s national mindset. But he will likely to continue to “look East” in the future, fostering closer economic and trade cooperation with China.
