China’s 2027 Car Offensive — From 1,300-hp Supercars to Seven-Seat Family SUVs

The first half of our look at China’s 2027 automotive offensive showed how MG and Xiaomi are moving directly into some of Europe’s most important mass-market and premium segments. But the second group of cars reveals something potentially even more disruptive: Chinese manufacturers are no longer restricting their ambitions to affordable electric vehicles. They are moving into territory traditionally dominated by Europe’s most prestigious brands. Part II

China’s Foldable Phone Offensive - Huawei, Vivo, Honor and Oppo Are Already Building the Phones of 2027

For years, Apple and Samsung defined what a premium smartphone should be. In 2026 that assumption is becoming increasingly difficult to defend. China’s Huawei, Vivo, Honor, Oppo and Xiaomi are pushing larger batteries, thinner folding bodies, faster charging, satellite connectivity, advanced cameras and increasingly sophisticated AI into devices that often arrive before comparable Western or Korean technology.

China Replacing OPEC? How Beijing Became the Swing Power in the Global Oil Market

For half a century, discussions about who controls the oil market usually began with OPEC. Saudi Arabia’s spare production capacity, cartel quotas and, later, the wider OPEC+ alliance with Russia could move prices with a single announcement. But the centre of gravity may now be shifting from the countries producing the marginal barrel to the country buying it.

Mongolia’s Next Transformation - From Landlocked State to Eurasian Transport Hub

For decades Mongolia’s geography seemed a disadvantage. With no seaport and only Russia and China as neighbours, the country depended on a few border crossings to reach world markets. Ulaanbaatar is now trying to turn that geography into an asset, positioning Mongolia as a transport, logistics, energy and processing bridge between Northeast Asia, Central Asia and Europe.

Digital Ruble vs Digital Yuan - Can Russia and China Build a Sanctions-Resistant Payment Network?

Russia's mass-market digital ruble rollout begins just as China's digital yuan is moving increasingly into cross-border trade. Together, the two systems raise a strategically important possibility: direct digital settlement between two of Eurasia's largest economies without depending on dollar clearing or Western correspondent banks. The technology increasingly exists. The more difficult questions are interoperability, exchange rates, regulation and whether Beijing actually wants to move that quickly.

SCO at 25 - From Border-Security Group to a Eurasian Powerhouse

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation marks its 25th anniversary at its summit in Bishkek with China, Russia, India and the major powers of Central Asia around the same table. What began in 2001 as a security organisation of six states has developed into a Eurasian grouping representing more than 3.4 billion people, around a quarter of the global economy and some of the world's largest reserves of energy and strategic minerals. The central question for its next 25 years is whether that enormous potential can be converted into deeper economic integration.

China to Hamburg - How Much Shorter Is the Northern Sea Route?

For cargo travelling between China and northern Europe, the map makes the attraction of the Arctic immediately obvious. A voyage from Shanghai to Hamburg is roughly 5,200 kilometers shorter through the Northern Sea Route than through the Suez Canal. The question is whether that geographical advantage can be transformed into reliable commercial shipping.
