COVID-19 VACCINES AND THE U.S. NATIONAL INTEREST A century ago, an influenza pandemic killed more people than died in World War I. Today, the COVID-19 pandemic has killed more Americans than died in all US wars since 1945. A big difference, however, is that science did not have a vaccine for the influenza virus back then, but now several companies and countries have created vaccines for

COVID-19.

A LOOK AT AMERICA’S CHINA REVIEW As the Biden administration heads into the second stage, clear steps are visible: Clear out the negative Trump legacy, tighten global strategy, coordinate with allies to curb China and prioritize climate change in China-U.S. cooperation.

INDIA’S COVID-19 EPIDEMIC THREATENS THE REGION As June approaches, India is reeling from a massive wave of COVID-19 infections that has made it the epicenter of today’s pandemic.

THE THREAT OF AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION 1 day ago · The international community must engage in serious discussions on whether cyber intelligence collection is necessary. If it is, what should be the boundaries? Any ambiguity or hesitation on the part of major players will lead others to mimic U.S. behavior. THE RISE OF CHINA AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR GLOBAL The rise of China has irrevocably changed the economic, geopolitical and strategic landscape of the world, with three-dimensional implications to the world order and stability. WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM CHINA’S LONG-TERM NATIONAL PLANS The reason is that China would like to attract more FDI to save its swelling debt market while preventing the property bubble from exploding.

BIDEN’S LONG ODYSSEY As the fourth president of the United States to oversee the country’s two-decade-long effort in Afghanistan, Joe Biden expressed his intent, as expected, to cut the U.S. military presence in the region by Sept. 11 this year. Such a strikingly determined call to reverse the preexisting ASSESSING AMERICA’S 3C POLICY Using the buzzwords “compete, collaborate, confront” to express the U.S. approach to China is inadequate, as they fail to take nuances into account. In fact, the 3C framework has led to the Chinese view that Biden’s approach is too negative and has only added to the complexity of relations. WILL CHINA FILL A MIDDLE EAST VACUUM? The concept is a foreign one, as China has always stressed the independence of all nation-states as they make their own decisions both domestically and regionally. Moreover, the United States will not be leaving the Middle East anytime soon. U.S. STRATEGY AND XINJIANG Unable to shut down trade, the United States has shrewdly — if unfairly — attacked China and Russia over alleged human rights violations. But the strategy has only been destructive. Some political and business leaders in Europe have begun to worry about the potential

end result.

SOUTH CHINA SEA EFFORTS ENHANCED The consultation process for the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South China Sea started in 2013. The COC is considered an upgraded version of the Declaration on Conduct of the Parties in the South China Sea (DOC), which was signed by China and ASEAN countries in DANGER LURKS BEHIND COMPETITION Competition between the United States and China has become a hot topic since President Joe Biden took office. Unfortunately, competition in its true sense is not what’s going on. What the U.S. has done in the past four months is a disguise put up by the Biden administration to

THE END OF AN ERA?

China's yuan reached a near three-year high this week against the falling U.S. dollar, with the currency first surpassing 6.4 to the U.S. dollar on Wednesday and further strengthening throughout the rest of the week. Thanks to China's economic recovery, as well as an influx of foreign investment, the yuan has sustained its growth over the past

12 months.

BIDEN-PUTIN SUMMIT: SAVE OR STALEMATE?
