NATO’s Surreal World
Opinion piece by By Sarwar A. Kashmeri
Has the Atlantic alliance outlived its usefulness? The British journalist and writer Geoffrey Wheatcroft raised that question in an opinion article (“Who needs NATO?,” June 16) that drew a strong reaction from Ivo H. Daalder, the U.S. permanent representative to NATO, who argued that the alliance is more needed than ever (Counterpoint, June 18-19). Sarwar Kashmeri, a senior fellow in the Atlantic Council’s International Security Program and the author of “NATO 2.0: Reboot or Delete?,” joins the debate.

The last time a British prime minister endorsed an American president’s plans for military intervention, it resulted in the US invasion of Iraq – one of the worst foreign policy blunders in recent American history. …That is why last week’s endorsement by David Cameron of a warning by Barack Obama that even the threat of chemical weapons by Syria could trigger a military intervention should be viewed with alarm on both sides of the Atlantic… Read this and much more from Sarwar at The Guardian.

April 16th 9:30 AM EDT – Aminda Smith – Is China’s “Communism”, really Communism?
The Chinese Communist Party governs the country from each village and city building to the very top of the country’s power structure. The CCP has the authority to preside over the government’s decisions at both central and local levels. Unlike the Soviet Union, however, China is largely a free-market economy that produces as many billionaires as does the U.S. How well does the U.S. understand the CCP? Does this lack of understanding prohibit better relations between the two superpowers?

May 14th 9:30 PM EDT – T.V. Paul – India, Perpetual Great Power in Waiting?
Along with the meteoric rise of China, there has been much interest in the emergence of India, as a rising power with one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The rapidly developing US-China rivalry gives India an added importance in world politics today as India is perhaps the only swing power that can help balance China’s potentially aggressive rise in the Indo-Pacific region. That, at least, is what the U.S. believes and has made this goal one of its central strategic planks for the Indio-Pacific.
Is this American vision but a dream? Given India’s enduring friendship with Russia as demonstrated by its refusal to toe the U.S. line in the Russia-Ukraine war and its growing trade relationship with China in spite of the Himalaya military clashes between the two Asian nations.

July 23rd 9:30 PM EDT – Jeffrey Reeves, NATO Should Stay out of Asia
Since identifying China as a “systemic challenge” in its 2022 Strategic Concept, NATO has been pursuing closer strategic and operational relations with Japan, Australia, South Korea, and New Zealand, collectively known as its Indo-Pacific Four (IP4) The prospect of a NATO+IP4 security regime is deeply problematic. Asian states, including those with close ties to Europe and the United States, would likely see a formal NATO+IP4 security structure more as a Western provocation rather than a defensive alliance.

September 3rd 9:30 PM EDT – Pamela Crossley, U.S. Presidential elections and China, Great Expectations?
The 2024 Presidential election in the United States is full of profound unknowns, especially for the world’s other superpower: the People’s Republic of China.
Does China’s centuries long history offer clues to how it might be preparing to deal with the unpredictable turn of events that the American system has thrown up. A wrong guess in China will have profound consequences for China, for China-U.S. relations, and for the world.

September 10th 9:30 PM EDT – Shehzad Qazi, China’s Economy plans for U.S. Elections
How are China’s economic policy makers strategizing to prepare for the coming change in U.S. Administrations and how are they reacting to the dire forecasts from U.S. investment banks and market makers? How accurately do U.S. forecasters understand the state of China’s economy? Is the media focus on “overcapacity” warranted. Not too log ago China was described as the “mother of all investment opportunities.”

September 17th 9:30 PM EDT – Marc Chandler, China’s “overcapacity” paradox
One of the impressive sounding but dense buzzwords over the last year has been “overcapacity.” A constant refrain that China is unfairly overproducing and flooding the world with below cost goods and destroying jobs in the West. Western countries, led by America, have responded by resorting to more protectionist policies. But is the assumption and the strategy sound? Aren’t affordable goods good for people?
Mr. Chandler is Managing Director and Chief Market Strategist for Bannockburn Global Forex. He has covered global capital markets for more than 30 years.
September 24th 8:30 PM EDT – Cameron Johnson, Business of U.S. and China is still Business
Is the economic picture in China as dire as the media reports? Why are rich Chinese leaving the country for safer havens in the West. How difficult is it for U.S. firms to set up a business in China. Is the geopolitically tense situation between the world’s two biggest economies causing lasting damage to the business relationship? What is polling of U.S. businesses in Shanghai and around China telling us about the future of the business relationship.
Mr. Johnson has 20+ years of management experience across various industries in China and has lived and done business in China for 20 years, in Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, and Chongqing.
