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.

US–China relations under Trump’s second term have entered a fragile stalemate. While complete economic decoupling remains elusive, both sides are shifting toward strategic and psychological disengagement – reducing reliance on each other’s long-term strategies. This trend may reduce incentives for negotiation, heighten uncertainty over Taiwan, yet also enable future bilateral reorientation.

No single country can respond to the fentanyl challenge alone. What’s needed is joint effort and sustained cooperation – not economic coercion.

Yes, they can. As the world’s two major powers in AI technology, the U.S. and China must work together to build capacity, contribute to AI for developing countries, bridge the digital divide and help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This article is Ambassador Fu Ying's insights and reflections on the 61st Munich Security Conference（MCS） to be held on February 14, 2025

Amid atech explosion, when we need to mobilise all our wisdom and energy for cooperation, some countries are trying to shut down collaborative platforms.

The sudden influx of American users onto RedNote (Xiaohongshu), now dubbed the “TikTok refugees,” represents far more than a mere platform migration. Triggered by the impending TikTok ban in the United States, this phenomenon encapsulates a broader narrative: the intersection of technological governance, cultural exchange, and digital sovereignty in an increasingly fragmented online landscape.

On December 31, 2024, Ms.Xiao Qian, deputy director of the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS), Tsinghua University, was asked to write an article in China Daily analyzing the results of the recently released Reagan Defense Survey. The article pointed out that in 2018, the US government positioned China as a "strategic competitor" and repeatedly stressed the "existential threat", which led to the serious bias of the American people's perception of China. The setting of the China-related question in the poll is also misleading to respondents. The article stressed that the future peaceful coexistence of China and the United States needs to rebuild mutual trust between the two sides. It is expected that the new US administration will adopt a pragmatic attitude toward China, remove obstacles to people-to-people exchanges, take measures to narrow the cognitive gap between the two sides, and cultivate healthy bilateral relations.

The 23rd installment of the Guest Contributor Programme (GCP) of the UK National China Committee (UKNCC) is centered on the question “What does the U.S.-China rivalry mean for the semiconductor industry?” Three experts, including Ting Dong, fellow at the Center for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University, were invited to share their insights on this issue.

Former US President Donald Trump was shot in the ear and wounded during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, and the attacker was killed by Secret Service security personnel at the scene. Chen Qi, deputy director of the Center for International Security and Strategy and a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University, wrote ina short commentary in China Daily that the attempted assassination was a reaction to increasing political polarization in the United States and public dissatisfaction with the electoral status quo of the two parties. In the short term, the incident will increase the possibility of Trump's victory, exacerbate the governance problems and social tears of the Biden administration, and damage the political image of the United States and confidence in political stability.

On April 20, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a $95 billion bill that included provisions for security assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The bill also attended to GOP legislative priorities, encompassing sanctions targeting Iran and a potential ban of TikTok. It allocates $61 billion to Ukraine, $26 billion to Israel, and $8 billion for Indo-Pacific regional security. The Senate then overwhelmingly passed the measure in a 79-18 vote three days later, and President Joe Biden subsequently signed it into law.

As the 2024 U.S. presidential election unfolds, primary results from both Republican and Democratic camps suggest that, barring unforeseen events, a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is likely in November. But it’s too early to forecast the outcome at this stage, given the myriad questions that remain unanswered.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology and its applications have drawn significant attention globally. In 2023, the release of OpenAI’s powerful ChatGPT 4.0 sparked intense competition between enterprises and laboratories to develop large language models. This year, OpenAI unveiled Sora, a tool for creating realistic short videos, demonstrating AI’s immense potential.

The Asia-Pacific region is of immense geopolitical significance, serving as a hub for global trade, commerce, and strategic interests. Given the increasing influence of countries like China and the rapid economic growth of several Southeast Asian nations, the U.S. strategy in this region has far-reaching implications for regional stability and security. In this regard, Ankara Center for Crisis and Policy Studies (ANKASAM) brings to your attention the views of Fellow Sun Chenghao from the Center for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University to evaluate the U.S.’s strategic approach in the Asia-Pacific.

Two US administrations have tried to ban TikTok over Chinese security concerns with little success. Why not address instead the real and urgent issues of social media harm and data protection?
