China trump cards

China Holds Three Trump Cards In War Against US

As China lays its trump cards on the table, the world’s globalised economy will creak and collapse.

Maldives Affirms Fealty To Diego Garcia

The Maldives is well placed to come out into the open on the Chagos Island issue and weigh its pros and cons in geopolitical terms.
