Equally importantly, China hopes it will be seen by other countries as
the responsible and restrained global power not seeking confrontation,
but strong enough to withstand US coercion. At a minimum the clash in
leadership cultures is total. Xi is an exponent of the war of
position, and Trump the war of manoeuvre in which instinct triumphs
over consistency or strategy. For the moment the positional warrior is
winning, or at least not losing.

US intent on keeping Gaza ceasefire from collapsing
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=248939&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=248939&nl=daily]
Israel's intense bombardment of the Gaza Strip this week marked the
most serious challenge yet for a fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
Gaza health officials said over 100 Palestinians were killed,
including dozens of civilians. Israel said one of its soldiers was
killed in an attack that helped prompt the fierce Israeli strikes. But
by early Wednesday, the ceasefire had been restored almost as quickly
as it had unraveled. President Donald Trump defended Israel's actions
but also made it clear that the U.S. expects the broader ceasefire to
hold. The chain of events underscored the fragility of the truce
between Israel and Hamas after two years of war, but also showed how
intent the U.S. is on keeping it going.
