POLITICSJul 4Is it wiser for middle powers ‘not to take sides’ in face of US-China rivalry?Middle powers would be better off hedging their bets rather than picking sides between countries such as the United States or China, a forum in Beijing heard on Friday. This view echoed the comments made by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at Davos earlier this year when he said such countries should unite in the face of a “rupture in the world order”.
