From reset to resilience: Reading signals from Carney's China visit

Jessica Durdu

As Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney concludes his January visit to China, the first by a Canadian prime minister since 2017, the significance of the trip lies less in its ceremonial nature and more in its deliberate emphasis on rebuilding institutional confidence. Carney's China visit should be read as a strategic recalibration. Diversifying partnerships is not about choosing sides, but about reducing vulnerability.

How Trump administration could offer Iran real kind of 'help' it needs

If the United States genuinely seeks to help the Iranian people, it should lift its economic sanctions on Iran rather than escalate diplomatic pressure or resort to military threats.

Beyond trade: What China's consumption growth means for world

Measures to stimulate domestic consumption would not signal weakness, but confidence: that China's growth is mature enough to rest on the prosperity of its own citizens, and that its success no longer depends on other countries absorbing its capacity.
