The crisis between Australia and China has come to a head. It's about geostrategic interests, influence, punitive tariffs, and the promising 5G technology.

India is currently suffering more than any other country from the COVID-19 pandemic. China is offering help in this humanitarian catastrophe and wants to position itself as an alternative to the US. However, a tasteless tweet shows the state of relations between the two arch-rivals – even during COVID-19.

Indien leidet derzeit wie kein anderes Land unter der Corona-Pandemie. China bietet in dieser humanitären Katastrophe Hilfe an – und will sich damit als Alternative zu den USA in Stellung bringen.

From Asia to Latin America to Europe, China's vaccine diplomacy is causing a stir worldwide. The People's Republic has now pledged half a billion vaccine doses to the countries of the world. But the help does not come for free. Sometimes it's about territorial claims, sometimes about 5G networks or the end of diplomatic ties. In Brazil, Beijing is pulling off a real masterstroke. That has repercussions for the entire continent.
