POLITICSAug 9China-Australia relations reach ‘good enough’ baseline, ex-envoy saysAfter years of strain, China-Australia ties have reached a “good enough” baseline for Canberra, though still short of Beijing’s broader ambitions, according to a former top Australian diplomat.

Fletcher served as Australia’s ambassador to China from 2019 to 2023. The...South China Morning Post
CONFLICTAug 9With Japan, China faces a corrosive security dilemmaJapan’s 610-page 2026 defence white paper cements a strategic shift: Tokyo has labelled China an “unprecedented and the greatest strategic challenge” for the fourth straight year, a framing dating back to 2014, when a Japanese white paper first flagged Beijing’s East China Sea Air Defence Identification Zone as risking unintended incidents.

SCI & TECHAug 9China’s AI models spooked Wall Street. But they may turbocharge industry growthBreakthroughs in cheap Chinese open-weight artificial intelligence models have spooked US investors, but analysts argue plummeting model costs will benefit the AI industry in the long run by supercharging global demand for AI systems.
