<p>China’s plan to build the largest embassy in Europe—right in the heart of London—has ignited a storm of debate. Officially, it’s about serving a growing diaspora and expanding cultural exchange.

<p>A bold new pledge to spend 5% of GDP on defence has shaken the foundations of NATO—and raised urgent questions about the alliance’s future. Held in The Hague, the 2025 NATO Summit was supposed to be a show of unity.
