Why Trump’s draft peace pact with Iran threatens Netanyahu’s Middle East plans

For decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has preached a mantra of peace and stability in the Middle East through the destruction of Iran’s Islamic Republic. The obliteration of the ayatollahs, he prophesied, would lead to the normalisation of relations between Israel and the wider Arab-Islamic world – with Israel emerging as the Middle East’s dominant power and indispensable security provider. But on Saturday, Netanyahu’s dreams looked set to be dashed, after US President Donald...

China’s machinery giant XCMG eyes bigger scoop of global sales with green, autonomous tech

XCMG Group, mainland China’s largest construction machinery maker, aims to achieve annual overseas sales of 100 billion yuan (US$14.7 billion), luring more international clients by turning its excavators, cranes and specialised vehicles greener and more automated.

Crude oil drops as US inches towards Iran deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Oil dropped at the week’s open as the US and Iran edged towards a deal, although US President Donald Trump said Washington’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would remain until an agreement was completed. Global crude benchmark Brent fell as much as 4.2 per cent to US$99.16 a barrel, after declining more than 5 per cent last week, while West Texas Intermediate was near US$92. Trump said in social-media posts he would not “rush” into a deal, which “isn’t even fully negotiated yet”. Any final...

Trump, Putin summits show an Eastward power shift

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China last week saw the signing of some 40 documents and a joint statement on strengthening the Beijing-Moscow partnership. The visit, just days after US President Donald Trump’s Beijing trip, is more than a diplomatic coincidence. It is a vivid reminder that the global order is now being shaped less by alliances than by a fluid triangle of China, the United States and Russia, with Beijing increasingly sitting at the centre. Timing is diplomacy. When..

Iran-Krieg: „Schwacher Deal“ oder „genialer Schachzug“ – Wie gehen die Iran-Verhandlungen weiter?

US-Präsident Donald Trump sucht im Krieg gegen den Iran einen Ausweg. Derzeit sieht es danach aus, dass er das Nuklear-Problem nur aufschiebt, aber nicht löst.

Thoughts on my USOY position? I've had some success, but should I continue?

I have some USOY on the Roth 401K side of my portfolio. With the recent "memorandum of understanding" between the US and Iran announced yesterday/this morning, I expect oil prices will drop, so I'm thinking of buying more. I've had some success with this approach since the Strait of Hormuz was shut down: wait for the announcement of a "deal," buy USOY after it drops, then wait for oil prices to recover and sell. Just curious about people's thoughts on this strategy, as I'm wondering if I may be

Breaking the chain? Why Hainan holds the key to survival for China’s aircraft carriers

The PLA Navy’s aircraft carrier base in Hainan could prove vital to the fleet’s survivability and crucial in countering US containment along the first island chain in wartime, according to a prominent mainland Chinese magazine. Such a posture could also support efforts to impose a maritime blockade around Taiwan in the event of a conflict, Defence Review reported this month. China now operates three aircraft carriers: the Liaoning, the Shandong, and the most advanced, the catapult-equipped...

Can China’s AI-powered food monitoring avoid US military-style meal complaints?

Images of sparse meals aboard naval vessels deployed in the United States’ war on Iran are a reminder that keeping military forces supplied with adequate food has been a problem for thousands of years. The photos came to light after a crew member from the USS Abraham Lincoln shared them with family in the US, sparking a dispute between personnel, their families and the Pentagon, along with complaints about inadequate food, despite official claims of more than 30 days’ supply on board. Meanwhile,
