In the inaugural episode of the ChinaPower podcast, Carnegie’s Yukon Huang joins CSIS’ Bonnie Glaser to discuss the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Fifty-seven countries have already joined the multilateral development bank. Another thirty-plus are waiting in the wings, yet both the United States and Japan have opted not to join. This ChinaPower exclusive explores the prospects for the AIIB’s success, its potential impact on other international lending institutions, and whether China’s leadership within the bank will bolster China’s international influence.

Despite long-standing differences, China and Vietnam are reinforcing common ground for collaboration, especially in public security. This internal security–centered diplomacy offers a strengthened road map for how China moves forward with Southeast Asia.

As the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues, Carnegie scholars contribute cutting-edge analysis on the events of the war and their wide-reaching implications. From the impact on Iran and its immediate neighbors to the responses from Gulf states to fuel and fertilizer shortages caused by the effective shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, the war is reshaping Middle East alliances and creating shockwaves around the world. Carnegie experts analyze it all.
Governments now deploy online platforms to shape public opinion and influence collective cognition. This is acutely apparent between China and Taiwan.

Across Asia, China is better positioned to withstand energy shocks from the fallout of the Iran war. Its abundant coal capacity can ensure stability in the near term. Yet at the same time, the country’s energy transition away from coal will make it even less vulnerable during the next shock.
