Despite over a year of heightened trade tensions, Beijing and Washington are maintaining a steady rhythm of engagement, highlighted by a planned sixth round of high-level economic and trade consultations – the fifth was held in Malaysia in October – and US President Donald Trump’s scheduled visit to China next month.“The business communities of China and the United States have long been close partners, a relationship built on mutual benefit and win-win cooperation,” council spokeswoman Wang Wenshuai said, calling them “the bridge and bond for exchanges and cooperation between the two nations”.According to a Xinhua readout of a telephone conversation between President Xi Jinping and Trump early last month, this is expected to be a pivotal year for the two countries to move towards a stage of “mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation”.03:34Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praises China’s AI progress following chip sales approvalNvidia CEO Jensen Huang praises China’s AI progress following chip sales approvalThis year’s supply chain expo will feature an AI exhibition area for the first time.

Why Taliban’s only hope for peace with Pakistan is renouncing terrorism

The fragile ceasefire between the Taliban and Pakistan has broken, and there is now open war in South Asia. This week has seen a dangerous escalation between the former allies, starting when Pakistan carried out a series of air strikes on what it says were terror “camps and hideouts” in Afghanistan’s border provinces. Pakistan claims it killed 80 militants, whereas the Taliban says villages were hit and 17 civilians were killed. The two have since engaged in a deadly tit-for-tat of ground and...

Shipowners and traders are largely avoiding the Strait of Hormuz that links the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean, which usually handles about 20 per cent of...

Iran conflict puts India’s cherished Middle East neutrality to the test

For years, India has prided itself on a foreign policy doctrine of “dehyphenation”: maintaining productive, parallel relations with conflicting countries such as Israel, Iran and the Arab Gulf states without letting any one bilateral tie poison the others. That doctrine is now being tested to the limit. The killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by US-Israeli strikes within days of Narendra Modi returning from a high-profile visit to Tel Aviv provided instant ammunition for the...
