Speaking to Red Pix, Carnegie-Tsinghua’s Lora Saalman discussed China’s global foreign policy aims. Saalman described how China’s most recent White Paper reflects Beijing's position that strategic and security interests must be met in order to ensure that economic gains follow. She detailed how China’s foreign policy now reflects an “ideology of markets” rather than one of global communism, and noted that China is actively seeking to avoid any bipolar dynamic with the United States reminiscent of the Cold War.
Saalman next addressed extant Sino-Indian problems stemming from the ambiguity of the Line of Actual Control and the failure to develop successful mechanisms to address border problems. She added that Sino-Sri Lankan ties reflect China engaging militarily and economically abroad to ensure a key component of its sea lines of communication. She concluded with a discussion of nuclear policies, noting that nuclear global policies are in flux, and that Asia will lead the charge in the future of nuclear development and forays into export markets.

- Will Hungary’s New Leader Really Change EU Policy on Russia and Ukraine?Commentary
Orbán created an image for himself as virtually the only opponent of aid to Ukraine in the entire EU. But in reality, he was simply willing to use his veto to absorb all the backlash, allowing other opponents to remain in the shadows.
