US President Donald Trump instructed the US Trade Representative to commence investigating Chinese infringement of intellectual property rights. By framing this effort under Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974, the Trump administration could impose high and widespread tariffs on Chinese imports.

By trespassing into Chinese territory and interfering in Bhutan’s border issue with China, India has flouted international law and international norms.

The North Korean conundrum continues to plague President Trump, resulting in mass frustration for his country, his administration, and his poll numbers. But there was a previous moment in American history when a U.S. President successfully crafted a path to peace with the rogue nation. Diplomacy could be the key for Trump to create not only a stable Asian-Pacific, but also a stable legacy.

Trump has proven tougher on the South China Sea than his predecessor. So long as China plays its cards right, though, it doesn’t really matter what he does.

Building on the cooperation the U.S. and China have developed over the last two years on UN sanctions will be key to denuclearizing North Korea.

Although the signing of the framework of the Code of Conduct is only a small step forward, it’s actually of great significance for China-ASEAN relations.

Recently, the US Secretaries of State and Defense announced a policy of “strategic accountability” on North Korea. What are the key components of this policy, and is it really anything new?
