What were the outcomes of the NATO summit? The US and Europe are increasingly at odds, and a New York Times article declares NATO is coming to an end. Furthermore, what's the difference between NATO's $70 billion military aid to Ukraine and Ukraine joining NATO and receiving defense assistance?

Hong Kong has launched its gold settlement system, with the first batch of transactions already completed, aiming to build a long-term gold trading ecosystem. Recently, there has also been a lot of good news regarding financial connectivity and integration between mainland China and Hong Kong.

The key to Hong Kong's prosperity over the next five years lies in whether it can successfully transform into a "super value-adder" leading regional development.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned. In ten years, Britain has had seven prime ministers. Is this related to the impact of the Brexit referendum ten years ago? At the same time, not only Britain, but Europe and the entire West are in a political and economic predicament. How can they get out of this predicament?

China has released a white paper titled "Building a More Just and Reasonable Global Governance System: China's Concepts, Initiatives, and Actions." Wang Yiwei, a professor in the Department of Diplomacy at the School of International Relations, Renmin University of China, stated that global governance initiatives largely aim to reform and improve the post-war international system centered on the United Nations. He said that over 851 million people worldwide reside in countries in the "Global South," and should rightfully have 851 million voices in the global governance system, but in reality, they may have less than 151 million. He believes this situation is inconsistent with the principle of "people-centeredness" and the original intentions of the founding of the United Nations.

Against the backdrop of escalating conflicts in the Middle East, the regional order is undergoing a profound multipolar restructuring. China and Saudi Arabia, among other countries, are actively seeking strategic autonomy, not only promoting de-dollarization and diversified alliances but also gradually reducing their dependence on traditional US hegemony. On the other hand, Iran and its "Arc of Resistance" coalition are using inexpensive drones and proxy networks to build asymmetric deterrence, successfully depleting the air defense systems and military production capacity of the US and Israel through a low-cost strategy.

Faced with complex and costly military expenditures, Washington tends to adopt transactional cooling measures and restrictive military aid to prevent excessive consumption of military power and resources; while Israel is caught in a bottleneck of military production capacity and increasingly serious diplomatic isolation. Geopolitical games have even extended to the field of sports. During the 2026 World Cup, the United States imposed strict visa restrictions and special clauses such as "same-day travel" on the Iranian national team, highlighting that national sovereignty and political calculations often take precedence over international sports norms.

Just as US President Trump said that the US-Iran ceasefire negotiations were progressing well, the US military launched a self-defense strike against Iranian missile facilities in southern Iran. What impact will this attack have on the US-Iran ceasefire negotiations?
