Asad Mirza
US President Donald Trump’s high-stakes visit to Beijing for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping has triggered global attention amid worsening geopolitical rivalries, trade tensions and security concerns. While both leaders projected optimism and called for a “new vision” in bilateral ties, deep strategic mistrust remains over Taiwan, technology, military competition and the future balance of global power.

(For a thousand years, the narcissus weeps its own blindness; with great difficulty, a man of true vision is born into the garden.)

As expected, the United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal after high-stakes talks in the Pakistani capital, with American Vice President JD Vance saying Tehran refused to accept Washington’s terms after 21 hours of talks in Islamabad.

Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all.
