AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoRussia–China Summit: Vladimir Putin has arrived in Beijing for talks with Xi Jinping, days after Trump’s China visit, with Moscow pushing for deeper energy and trade ties and renewed momentum on the stalled “Power of Siberia 2” gas pipeline that would route Arctic gas through Mongolia to China. Geopolitical Signaling: The Kremlin is framing the trip as proof of an “unshakeable” partnership, while Western capitals—including Germany—are watching closely for any hint that Xi might press Putin to end the Ukraine war. Mongolia Angle: The pipeline’s Mongolia corridor keeps Ulaanbaatar in the middle of a major energy bargain, even as the broader relationship remains increasingly lopsided toward China. Health & Science Watch: Separate from geopolitics, Japan’s nurse-led ultrasound screening trial is showing how community health checks can catch hidden infant hip dysplasia earlier. Climate Update: Climate scientists say even their best-case carbon scenarios now overshoot the 2015 1.5°C goal.
