China, India quietly bid for global leadership as the US abdicates
Chietigj Bajpaee is senior fellow for South Asia at Chatham House, an international affairs think tank in London. He is co-author of a recent research paper: "How China-India relations will shape Asia and the global order."
When China and India are talking about upholding the "rules-based international order" while the U.S. shuns the very order it helped to establish, you know that we are living in a New World Order. In March, I had the opportunity to attend major international conferences in both countries: the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi and the Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan. Both events highlighted Beijing and New Delhi's visions of the emerging international order and their places in it.

China rejects Trump's claim it violated trade agreement
US President Donald Trump's claim that China violated a trade agreement has triggered strong pushback from officials in Beijing. The Commerce Ministry called the accusation "groundless." The agreement was reached during talks in Geneva in May. It includes reducing the additional tariffs the US and China imposed on each other by 115 percentage points. Trump claimed on social media on Friday that China was breaching the deal. US officials argue that China is holding up exports of rare earths, among other issues. China's Commerce Ministry rejected that accusation in a statement on Monday. It said Beijing has actively upheld the Geneva agreement in a responsible manner. The statement accused the US side of introducing a series of discriminatory measures against China after the agreement was reached. Citing Washington's plan to revoke the visas of Chinese students, it said the United States was gravely harming China's legitimate rights. The statement also said that if the US insists on going its own way and continues to undermine China's interests, Beijing will resolutely take forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.

China blasts U.S. for its computer chip moves and for threatening student visas

(AP Photo) TAIPEI--China blasted the U.S. on Monday over moves it alleged harmed Chinese interests, including issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China, and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. 'These practices seriously violate the consensus' reached during trade discussions in Geneva last month, the Commerce Ministry said in a statement. That referred to a China-U.S. joint statement in which the United States and China agreed to slash their massive recent tariffs, restarting stalled trade between the world's two biggest economies. But last month's de-escalation in President Donald Trump's trade wars did nothing to resolve underlying differences between Beijing and Washington and Monday's statement showed how easily such agreements can lead to further turbulence. The deal lasts 90 days, creating time for U.S. and Chinese negotiators to reach a more substantive agreement. But the pause also leaves tariffs higher than before Trump started ramping them up last month. And businesses and investors must contend with uncertainty about whether the truce will last. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. agreed to drop the 145% tax Trump imposed last month to 30%. China agreed to lower its tariff rate on U.S. goods to 10% from 125%. The Commerce Ministry said China held up its end of the deal, canceling or suspending tariffs and non-tariff measures taken against the U.S. 'reciprocal tariffs' following the agreement. "The United States has unilaterally provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating the uncertainty and instability of bilateral economic and trade relations,' while China has stood by its commitments, the statement said. It also threatened unspecified retaliation, saying China will 'continue to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.' And in response to recent comments by Trump, it said of the U.S.: 'Instead of reflecting on itself, it has turned the tables and unreasonably accused China of violating the consensus, which is seriously contrary to the facts.' Trump stirred further controversy Friday, saying he will no longer be nice with China on trade, declaring in a social media post that the country had broken an agreement with the United States. Hours later, Trump said in the Oval Office that he will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping and 'hopefully we'll work that out,' while still insisting China had violated the agreement. 'The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' Trump posted. 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' The Trump administration also stepped up the clash with China in other ways last week, announcing that it would start revoking visas for Chinese students studying in the U.S. U.S. campuses host more than 275,000 students from China. Both countries are in a race to develop advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, with Washington seeking to curb China's access to the most advanced computer chips. China is also seeking to displace the U.S. as the leading power in the Asia-Pacific, including through gaining control over close U.S. partner and leading tech giant Taiwan.

U.S demands Australia increase defense spending to 3.5% of GDP
The U.S. has asked Australia to hike defense spending to 3.5% of its gross domestic product "as soon as possible," the Pentagon said, in a move that could signal a looming similar demand for Japan. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth conveyed the figure to Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles on the sidelines of the Shangri-la Dialogue security conference in Singapore over the weekend, where the pair held talks amid rising tensions with China. Australia currently spends about 1.9% of GDP on defense, or about 55.7 billion Australian dollars ($37 billion), and an immediate boost to 3.5% would take that to nearly AU$100 billion. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, however, said Canberra would not be dictated to by its ally, noting that the country was already planning to pour a significant amount of cash into defense coffers. 'What we'll do is we'll determine our defense policy,' Albanese said, noting recent investments and adding that Australia would 'continue to provide for investing in our capability but also investing in our relationships in the region.' Australia's 2024 national defense strategy promised a significant increase in spending, with the defense budget aiming to reach about AU$67.4 billion in 2027-2028 and AU$100 billion by 2033-2034, putting it at 2.3% of GDP. In a speech Saturday outlining U.S. defense strategy in Asia, Hegseth warned that Beijing is 'credibly preparing to potentially use military force to alter the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.' 'The threat China poses is real,' he added. 'And it could be imminent.' Hegseth also sought to link this to U.S. demands that Asian allies and partners spend more on their own defense, calling on them to follow Europe's example and commit to higher spending and burden-sharing. 'NATO members are pledging to spend 5% of their GDP on defense, even Germany,' he said. 'So it doesn't make sense for countries in Europe to do that while key allies in Asia spend less on defense in the face of an even more formidable threat.' Officials in Tokyo are closely watching how U.S.-Australia defense spending talks unfold, with U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly labeling the U.S.-Japan alliance as 'unfair' and senior Pentagon officials pushing the top Asian ally to also spend more on its defense. Ostensibly pacifist Japan has in recent years undertaken a dramatic transformation of its security policy, including a five-year plan to ramp up defense spending to 2% of its GDP by 2027. Defense spending and related costs for this year were expected to total ¥9.9 trillion ($70 billion), equivalent to roughly 1.8% of GDP at the time of the plan's formulation in 2022, according to Defense Minister Gen Nakatani. But ramping up defense budgets even further would come with significant political and economic constraints, something Nakatani alluded to following talks with Hegseth on Saturday. Asked whether the two had spoken about a specific number for Japan's defense budget, Nakatani brushed away questions, saying only that he had reiterated Japan's view that 'what is important is the substance of strengthened defense capabilities," not an arbitrary figure.
