As the Year of the Wood Snake promised subtlety and adaptation, the U.S., China and Japan instead delivered strategic blundering, authoritarian overreach and geopolitical instability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/26/world/good-riddance-year-of-the-serpent/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #chinesezodiac #2025 #2026 #yearofthewoodsnake #yearofthefirehorse #indopacific #us #donaldtrump #xijinping #ishibashigeru #sanaetakaichi #usjapanrelations #chinajapanrelations #uschinarelations

After months of tariff threats and brow-beating on defense spending, U.S. allies in Asia had ample reason to be wary of President Donald Trump. But the message after his Asia tour? The U.S. still has your back. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/02/asia-pacific/politics/trump-asian-allies-focus/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #asean #asia #donaldtrump #sanaetakaichi #xijinping #china #uschinarelations #usjapanrelations #apec #trade #tariffs #usmilitary

Trump plays nice with Asian allies stung by repeated threats

While allies in Asia have ample reason to be wary of U.S. President Donald Trump, the message from his regional tour appeared to be that America isn't going anywhere.
