Iran's Base Strikes Expose U.S. Vulnerability to Future Chinese Threats

Iranian missile and drone strikes have severely damaged U.S. bases in the Middle East, exposing critical weaknesses in American air defense. While the U.S. avoided losing major platforms like aircraft carriers, the destruction of logistical hubs and the depletion of interceptor stocks highlight a strategic vulnerability that could be exploited by China in the Pacific. Officials warn that rebuilding depleted munitions reserves could take five years, raising concerns about readiness for a potential conflict with Beijing.

Europe bets on industrial policy to blunt China's export surge

EU industry officials back the Commission’s Industrial Accelerator Act as a hedge against a potential second wave of Chinese exports that could hit vital sectors like EVs, batteries, steel, chemicals and wind turbines. The act would curb Chinese investments in strategic areas and impose Made-in-EU rules for public procurement, with broad parliamentary support but ongoing questions in Berlin. If enacted, the IAA could become Europe’s main tool to shield industry while balancing ties with Beijing and addressing the EU’s growing trade deficit.

Shangri-La Dialogue: US-China Tensions Take Center Stage

The US has hyped up the "China threat" theory ahead of the 20th IISS Shangri-La Dialogue, with growing speculation about the meeting between the Chinese and US defense ministers. Despite recent high-level engagements, the US-China rivalry has entered a much profound and multi-dimensional scope, with Washington treating China as a competitor. The US military accused China of conducting an "unprofessional" intercept of a US spy plane over the South China Sea, but Chinese officials and experts say it is the US that has initiated provocative military operations near China. The US-China rivalry has become multi-dimensional and could get more intense in the future, some experts warn.
