The United States and China have been locked in a tech rivalry for years, with each country vying for dominance in key technology sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and semiconductors.

Climate change is the most important issue of our age; we are the first to see its early warning signals and the last to have a chance to prevent it from occurring. Living in a bubble of ignorance can only get us so far.

The United States is less competitive than China in the infrastructure sector, partly because most Chinese enterprises engaged in BRI infrastructure development are state-owned and receive substantial government subsidies.

Can the US afford an acrimonious relationship with China? Should the US peruse a hostile policy against China in Indo-Pacific? Should US government representatives pay official visits to Taiwan? Should the US cement its military & trade cooperation with Taiwan?

The Western media is giving ample amount of coverage to Ukrainian civilians who are resisting Russian aggression and calling them ‘the defenders of motherland and heroes’. Will it ever call innocent Palestinians, who defend their country with merely the stones?
