China's 80% Grip on Iranian Oil Looms Over Trump-Xi Summit
Ahead of a high-stakes US-China summit planned for September 24 at the White House, Beijing appears to be spotlighting its influence over Iran to gain leverage during negotiations with its chief geopolitical rival. Expectations for a US-China breakthrough on Iran at the upcoming summit in Washington are low. Trump has signaled a focus on economic outcomes for this meeting with Xi and the Chinese leader has reciprocated by assembling a delegation of top business executives. But in the run-up to the meeting, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met his…

AI looms large over Trump-Xi meeting amid deep distrust between US and China
Fears persist about Trump ‘sucking up’ to Xi on Taiwan, but few concrete outcomes anticipated from US meeting When Xi Jinping, China’s leader, touches down in Maryland on Wednesday, he will step out into the arms – perhaps a hug , if Donald Trump’s wishes come true – of a US president who has shown China more bonhomie than any of his recent predecessors. The meeting between Xi and Trump this week will be the second time that the leaders of the world’s two biggest economies have talked face to face this year. At the previous summit, held in Beijing in May, there was much talk of building a “strategic stability” between the two powers. But there was little by way of concrete outcomes : the countries remain at loggerheads over trade, export controls and geopolitics. Continue reading...

Washington Needs This LNG Deal More Than Beijing Does
Xi Jinping arrives in Washington September 24, prepared to discuss reviving a $6 billion-a-year trade in US liquefied natural gas, contingent on lifting a 15% Chinese tariff that has blocked American gas since Q1 2025. Iranian missiles destroyed 17% of Qatar's LNG export capacity in March, and China absorbed that shock by buying more from everyone except the United States: Australia took 36% of its LNG imports from January through July, Southeast Asia 20%, Russia 12%, and Canada, a new entrant, 4%, according to Banchero Costa data. American cargoes…

Beijing and Washington talk about an AI hotline. But who will answer the call?
A hotline might prevent an AI accident from spiraling into war. But if neither the U.S. or China has a solution for "rogue AI," phoning one another about it is not going to provide much security.
Beijing Tightens Rare Earth Flow Ahead Of Washington Summit With Trump
Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump are scheduled to meet in Washington on Thursday. UBS analysts quoted chief China economist Yu Song as saying the meeting between the leaders of the two global superpowers is largely about strategic stability and modest progress on tariffs, rare earths, and AI safety. Political risk analyst Marcus Bischoff expects no major breakthrough but says the most realistic outcome is continuity in US-China relations as the most likely outcome. He sees cautious grounds for higher expectations following…

The viral Hyrox horror: is the ‘go hard or go home’ attitude to exercise finally over?
When an athlete soiled herself at a hybrid fitness event, it sparked a debate about a culture that pushes people to ignore their body’s signals at real cost How far would you go to secure an impressive marathon time, or a Hyrox personal best? Maybe you’d turn down a boozy night out in favour of eight hours’ kip the night before? Or perhaps you’d swap sugary treats for protein shakes, and commit to a gruelling training plan in the run-up? It’s not uncommon for athletes to want to give it their all come race day – but few of us would go as far as the Australian Hyrox competitor Joanna Wietrzyk, who continued to take part in the hybrid fitness event a little over a week ago, despite having noticeably soiled herself. Wietrzyk’s immediate response appeared to be one of defiance. “Go hard or go home … a win is a win,” she said in a now-deleted Instagram post , having been allowed to finish and win the event in Beijing. Hyrox organisers initially seemed to back her position, posting a statement (also now deleted) which said: “We ask our athletes to push themselves to the highest levels. At times, they will go beyond what even we thought was possible.” Continue reading...
