Greenland crisis: A highly uncertain new era for global security

Liu Xinxin

The future of the Nordic states – and Europe – depends on their ability to rise from this "ally betrayal" like a phoenix. Greenland's fate is no longer just Denmark's problem; it's a stark warning to all nations. In an era of unchecked power and discarded rules, no country can rest easy – global security has entered a highly uncertain new age.

Chinese FM's Africa visit: A new paradigm for South-South cooperation

Alexander Ayertey Odonkor

As 2026 marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Africa, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to the four African nations is aimed at deepening political mutual trust between the two parties. Over the period, cooperation between China and Africa, two regions which together account for about one-third of the entire global population, has forged a new paradigm for South-South cooperation.

Why China's enhanced dual-use export controls on Japan are necessary

China's recent decision to strengthen export controls on certain dual-use items destined for Japan has drawn international attention. In reality, this is a precise, forceful and legally grounded countermeasure, taken in response to clear political provocations that implicate China's core interests and national security.
