Institute of Policy Studies

The International Institute for Strategic Studies has published an analysis of the 'derisking race' between China and the United States, arguing that economic security policies in both capitals are accelerating the fragmentation of the global economy. The piece examines how export controls, supply-chain reshoring and industrial policy are replacing the logic of free trade with managed interdependence, and what this means for firms and governments caught between the two powers.

An article by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on improving the people's wellbeing will be published on Thursday, according to Xinhua News Agency. The piece is expected to lay out the leadership's priorities on livelihood issues, and publications of Xi's articles are typically studied across party organisations and state institutions nationwide after release.
