Comrade Jianguo goes to Beijing with an empty holster
TEHRAN — When Donald Trump’s aircraft touches down in Beijing, the traditional choreography of American power will be noticeably out of sync. The U.S. president will arrive in the Middle Kingdom not as a global hegemon dictating the terms of “maximum pressure,” but as a strategic firefighter.

From Abe to Takaichi: A historic milestone, a familiar path
TEHRAN – Sanae Takaichi’s election as Japan’s first female prime minister on October 21 was a landmark moment in a country long dominated by male political leadership.
