The Silent Siren of the Steppes and the Death of Liquid Neutrality The global financial landscape of 2026 has been redefined by a "secret war" that transcends geographical borders and traditional military doctrines. While Western attention remained fixed on the expansion of the Chinese nuclear triad or tactical maneuvers in the South China Sea, a far more surgical operation was being executed in the high-frequency trading halls and sovereign bond markets. Beijing’s strategic

The evolution of dynamics in the Arctic during 2025 marked the definitive end of the conception of the region as an area almost closed to bilateral cooperation, overcoming old prejudices that divergent interests would prevent deep interaction between Moscow and Beijing. Global geopolitical pressure pushed the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China towards structural integration that transformed the area into one of the most dynamic and visible sectors of their

The publication of the report “ Tightening the Net: China's Infrastructure of Oppression in Iran ” by Article 19 has brought to light the decisive role of Chinese technology in the repression of the Iranian protests that broke out at the end of last year. In particular, the document describes how Beijing provided Tehran not only with the regulatory model, but also with the technical infrastructure necessary to impose an almost total information blackout, isolating the civilia

Preface: The Quantum Leap of Chinese Defense The coordinated publication of these three foundational doctrinal documents by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in the early days of February 2025  marks China's definitive transition from "mechanization" to the "intelligentization" of its armed forces. Beijing is no longer aiming for mere numerical parity with the West, but for asymmetric superiority  through the deconstruction of traditional combat systems. This new strategic a

Energy is the lifeblood of China's rise, but it is also the most exposed front in its national security. In a global context defined by competition between major powers, the People's Republic of China faces a critical paradox: its industrial and military power depends on resources it does not control and trade routes controlled by its strategic adversaries. With its dependence on oil imports consistently exceeding 70%, Beijing is not only seeking to secure daily supplies, bu

The European Union is currently facing a fundamental shift in its national security architecture. The proposal of January 20, 2026, for a new policy package centered on the recast of Regulation (EU) 2019/881, known as " The Cybersecurity Act 2 "  (document COM(2026) 11 final), will mark the definitive transition from a logic of voluntary recommendations to a regime of "mandatory risk reduction" for supply chains originating from high-risk third countries. The following analy

The Pentagon's latest annual report on military developments in the People's Republic of China marks a point of no return in the Western perception of the Asian technological threat. We are no longer facing a race to catch up, but a deliberate attempt by Beijing to rewrite the rules of war and intelligence through quantum technology , considered one of the " key forces for industrial transformation " and national security. This effort, which sees China pouring significant re

THE HORIZON OF POWER: THE TWILIGHT OF LAW AND THE RISE OF TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION – ANALYSIS OF THE CHINESE MINISTRY OF NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGIC REPORT (LATE 2025)

The question of the People's Republic of China's actual capacity to conduct high-risk special operations in hostile territory, similar to the raid against Osama bin Laden or the capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, requires an examination that goes beyond simply counting technical resources. Although Beijing aspires to a “world-class” force by 2049, OSINT sources suggest that the operational gap with the United States remains wide. The following analysis explores the struc

Oil, satellites, and bad loans: the balance sheet of Chinese risk after the fall of Caracas The sudden U.S. military action on January 3, 2026, and the subsequent capture of Nicolás Maduro represent a definitive breaking point for the architecture of Chinese interests in South America. For Beijing, Venezuela was not merely a commercial partner but the cornerstone of a multidimensional strategy aimed at creating a Belt and Road Initiative outpost at the doorstep of the United

Eurasian Pincer: The New Architecture of Total Blockade in the Taiwan Strait and North Pacific

On December 19, 2025, the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) published a definitive staff paper entitled "The Future of U.S.-China Biotechnology Competition,"  signaling a critical inflection point in the global struggle for technological primacy. This document, building upon a sobering April 2025 assessment, warns that the window for the United States to retain its leadership in biotechnology is closing far faster than previously anticipated.

The development of quantum technologies now represents a fundamental pillar of global technological competition, where innovation capacity is inextricably linked to national security and digital sovereignty. The 2025 report by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) highlights how quantum computing, encrypted communication, and precision sensing have become strategic drivers, leading over 30 countries to invest a total of more than $35 billion.

On December 12, 2025, in Washington, the United States marked a decisive turning point in the geopolitics of raw materials by inaugurating the " Pax Silica Initiative ."  This U.S.-led program, which brought together strategic partners including Japan, Israel, Australia, Singapore, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Korea, is not merely a technical agreement. It represents the proclamation of a new geopolitical consensus: econom

Amid the sidereal silence enveloping the competition between great powers, a recent document has made waves within circles of scientific diplomacy and space intelligence. In the latest issue of the Journal of Deep Space Exploration —a prestigious publication of the Beijing Institute of Technology — a technical analysis entitled Reflections on the Development of the Queqiao Integrated Navigation and Telemetry System has appeared, which reads like a programmatic manifesto. S

In the global landscape where cybersecurity is inextricably linked with geopolitical stability, China's National Energy Administration (NEA) has responded firmly by promulgating the " Measures for Data Security Management in the Energy Sector (Trial) ". The energy sector is at the heart of a dual transition: on one hand, the escalation of cyber threats, and on the other, the acceleration towards the integration of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI). This

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a region historically considered the security perimeter and exclusive sphere of influence of the United States, has become the main theater of strategic competition for the People's Republic of China (PRC) over the last two decades. Beijing's commitment, which has evolved beyond the mere pursuit of commercial opportunities, has transformed into a multidimensional and deeply geopolitical strategy that aims to consolidate the Chinese Commu

The National Security Strategy (NSS) published today, December 5, 2025, by the Trump Administration transcends the role of a simple policy document. It is a veritable manifesto of geopolitical rupture, sanctioning the definitive abandonment of the post-Cold War hegemonic paradigm and recognizing a world inevitably oriented toward multipolarity. Under the banner of "Principled Realism" and the guiding principle of "America First," the NSS is not a strategy of isolationism, bu
