Huge thanks to Prof. Da Wei of Tsinghua University for joining our closed-door discussion @chathamhouse.org yesterday and sharing his fascinating insights on China-US relations. Chaired by our Senior Research Fellow, Yu Jie.

As India embarks on its year of summits (AI, #BRICS and possibly the #Quad), @chietigj.bsky.social examines New Delhi's ambitions to become the 'voice' of the #GlobalSouth in his latest analysis for @foreignpolicy.com.

A pleasure discussing the outlook for #Bangladesh at the UK parliament following the recently concluded election, which saw Bangladesh revert to democratic rule. An honour to see a few prominent faces in the audience! Thanks to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association for inviting me.

This week, Bangladesh voted in the first election since Shaikh Hasina's ouster. But what does this mean for India-Bangladesh relations? @chietigj.bsky.social explains all in his @chathamhouse.org expert comment ⬇️

"It remains to be seen whether Bangladesh can move on beyond the politics of protest, the politics of revenge which have plagued the country for decades." @chietigj.bsky.social on Bangladesh's first election since the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina, via @france24.com ⤵️

Asia’s leaders do not want to see their region dominated by Beijing or at the mercy of Washington's will. Following Sanae Takaichi's recent election triumph, many will see a resurgent Japan as a key partner to bring balance to the region, writes Ben Bland for @chathamhouse.org.

Beijing will be displeased by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent election triumph, but most Asian leaders will welcome a strong Japanese government, writes our Programme Director Ben Bland for @chathamhouse.org.
