The Three Brexiteers (Philip Radford, The Strategist)

Any hopes that the swiftly-engineered coronation of Theresa May meant the Brits were going soft on Brexit have been squashed by the instant elevation of a trio of hardened eurosceptics—Boris Johnson, Liam Fox and David Davis. With three Brexiteers running the Foreign Office, the new Ministry of Trade and London’s Brexit negotiations, the UK Prime Minister’s intentions are clear: there’s no turning back.

China: courting disaster in South China Sea (Philip Radford, ASPI The Strategist)

Peter Jennings is right to point out that siting surface-to-air missiles (SAM) on Woody Island in the Paracel Islands is a strategic game-changer for the South China Sea. It’s also the logical corollary to building fighter-length runways and installing long-range radar on reclaimed islands. In this great game of grandmother’s footsteps, it confirms what’s in store for the island bases China is building much further south, in the Spratly archipelago.
