Congratulations to Bates Gill, Adam Lockyer, Dr Yves Heng-Lim and Professor Andrew Tan on the publication of their new book "Geopolitics, Military Modernisation and the Future of the Indo-Pacific"

On CNA my take on the recent SCO summit: Central Asian governments in awkward position as Xi + Putin appear to pursue a "pan-Eurasian" organization that is less + less focused on Central Asia. This and other insights on the gathering here: channelnewsasia.com/watch/moscow-a…

As part of our U.S. Institute of Peace project tracking #China's Global Security Initiative (GSI), check out this great piece by Abbos Bobokhonov on the GSI in Central Asia. An excellent analysis, cogent, insightful. Read it and the project's other work at this link: usip.org/programs/track…

Started my new role as Senior Fellow at the UN Geneva. Will be working with the great team United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research to explore UN Security Council interest and action to use conventional arms control measures as part of their mandate to help maintain regional peace and security.

This week, the PRC-Africa summit major outcome document outlines 🇨🇳's 10 pledges of cooperation for 2024-27, signals less emphasis on debt financing and increased security role for China on the continent. See my thoughts on CNA channelnewsasia.com/watch/chinas-n…

"For China, the [Global Security Initiative] provides a useful conceptual framework + concrete set of activities that help socialize and justify China’s growing security role, especially in the Global South." Read my essay w/ U.S. Institute of Peace sinocentric on recent China-Africa forum

Key takeaways in my new U.S. Institute of Peace essay with sinocentric: 🇨🇳 increasingly emphasizing security coop. in relations w/ Africa 🇨🇳links this coop. to Global Security Initiative 🇨🇳GSI advances in Africa + elsewhere present numerous challenges for the U.S. usip.org/publications/2…

Quoted in the widely-read piece, appearing in the Korean-language Hankook Ilbo, on North Korean nuclear threats against South Korea. I advise SK strategists to also closely follow PRC-NK nuclear-related collaboration for its impact on SK security. hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A202…

Looking forward to what will be an excellent, informed conversation with business and other thought leaders in Zurich, as concerns about upcoming US election run high. Thanks to great team Asia Society Switzerland + especially to Nico Luchsinger for the opportunity! asiasociety.org/switzerland/ev…

I was honored to be a senior advisor on this project + highly recommend it: timely, in-depth, + excellent expert contributors from across the region. Key point:🇨🇳's increased military encounters w/neighbors are not isolated incidents but are part of an across-the-board strategy.

The U.S. election season has certainly been characterized by division + disruption at home. But what about its impact on foreign policy + America’s future approach to Asia, in particular? Join me to explore these issues University of Zurich w/ Simona Alba Grano aoi.uzh.ch/en/institut/ev…

Great to see this video come out! Honored and happy to join experts Delia Domingo-Albert + @eunjung_Lim to assess future of Asian security. Thanks to Philippe Le Corre + #forumnormandiepourlapaix! youtube.com/watch?v=0aEF7M…

Very happy to produce this "in italiano" for Formiche, focusing on recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, underscoring that SCO will fall far short of becoming an "Asian NATO". Molte grazie e buona lettura! rivista.formiche.net/riviste/intell…

Sometimes, who is in the White House is not the determining factor for all things! My quick take in Newsweek w/ Bonnie Glaser / 葛來儀 Stimson Center Yun Sun Lyle Goldstein on why, no matter who is president, PRC is not likely to invade Taiwan in next 4 years. newsweek.com/will-china-inv…

Our latest U.S. Institute of Peace report on #China's Global Security Initiative, based on research + high-level discussions in Southeast Asia + Central Asia. GSI serves to justify + expand greater security role for China, especially in the Global South sinocentric usip.org/sites/default/…
