China’s Rejection of US Sanctions; Strengthening Iran’s Geopolitical Leverage

SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.

The Makkah Pact; Reasons for its Formation and Challenges Ahead

SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey under the motto “an attack on one is an attack on all,” is viewed by some analysts less as a full-fledged military coalition and more as an attempt to reduce security dependence on an external power and to establish a regional security mechanism.

Implications of the US-Saudi Nuclear Agreement

SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US-Saudi nuclear agreement, despite legal and political ambiguities, could alter previous non-proliferation standards in West Asia and intensify nuclear competition, ushering it into a new phase.

Artificial Intelligence and the Intensification of Global Inequality

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Although other revolutions have occurred between the Industrial Revolution and the artificial intelligence revolution, especially the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) revolution, and humanity has made remarkable progress along this path, in terms of fundamental transformations in the mode of production and social relations, it can be said that the transformations of artificial intelligence and the scope of its effects are perhaps similar to the Industrial Revolution but on a much larger scale. It is, in fact, a new revolution, much more profound and complex than the Industrial Revolution.

Growing U.S.-China Competition in Space

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Recently, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has barred Chinese citizens from accessing its systems and facilities, a prohibition that even includes Chinese citizens possessing U.S. visas.

Analysis of the China-US Tariff War

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: China expects the “Made in China 2025” strategy to be completed and realized this year. On the other hand, the United States sees its supposed hegemony in danger and is trying to maintain its position.
In this situation and as one of the means of confrontation, the trade war has intensified again, as was the experience of the 2016-2020 period, and in the most recent action, China and the United States have increased tariffs on each other’s agricultural products; China by 15 percent and the United States by 20 percent. Will this ping-pong lead to a trade agreement, or will the trade war intensify?

The prospect of Turning BRICS Money into a Globally Accepted Currency

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent BRICS meeting ended with a symbolic image of the BRICS currency in the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Perhaps, before this meeting, some experts did not believe in continuing BRICS as a block (or newly emerging network). Although India’s veto of Turkey’s membership showed that BRICS has a relatively long way to go to gain power from the expansion channel of the alliance, views on BRICS show it to be largely successful. BRICS money and its display in Putin’s hands are signs of seriousness in BRICS and its increasing importance in the future.
