1945 to 2023? World on the precipice of a new global realignment
The celebration of another anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe provides a fresh opportunity to reflect on the new international security architecture that has emerged from the war's ashes. As humanity rushes toward a new, multipolar world order, it’s worth recalling how the post-war system emerged, and how the West's hubris caused it to fail.

'New era of cooperation': Xi Jinping to chair China-Central Asia summit
Chinese President Xi Jinping will chair the China-Central Asia summit on May 18-19, which will mark the first major diplomatic event hosted by China this year.
The summit will involve the six countries discussing burgeoning ties and a "new era of cooperation", with an "important political document" to be signed that will "draw a new blueprint for China-Central Asia relations". The Belt and Road Initiative is expected to be a major topic on the summit’s agenda.
China’s trade volume with Central Asian countries had grown by 22% in the first two months of 2023, and Beijing aims to deepen its economic ties with the region, which is rich in natural resources and lies in close proximity to China's western province of Xinjiang.

US federal deficit reaches almost $1 trln as Biden braces for crunch debt ceiling talks
Washington has been running a deficit of almost $1 trillion for over seven months, according to CBO. Revenues were down 10% and outlays were up 8% compared to the same period last year.
Meanwhile, negotiations between the White House and congressional leaders over raising the debt ceiling continue to be contentious, with Republicans demanding steep spending cuts and Democrats calling for a clean raise without preconditions.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that a failure to raise the debt ceiling could have dire consequences but acknowledged that there are no good options if Congress fails to meet its responsibility.

Musk and Texas Governor Abbott launch construction of lithium plant
Elon Musk and Texas Governor Greg Abbott have broken ground on Tesla's new $375m lithium processing plant in Corpus Christi. The plant will produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide, which is essential for making rechargeable batteries used in electric cars.
Tesla has claimed the plant will use an "innovative" process to minimize pollution, with no toxic emissions. The company also plans to seek "beneficial use opportunities" for the sand and limestone which it expects to be the main by-products of its process.

Tech giants hope to 'get away with anything' amid AI scare - Steve Wozniak
Legendary Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak – known in Silicon Valley as Woz – fears that AI can be used by "bad actors" to make disinformation campaigns more credible.
"AI is so intelligent it's open to the bad players, the ones that want to trick you about who they are," he told a British news broadcaster.
While Wozniak does not believe that AI will ever replace humans since it lacks emotions, he acknowledged that sometimes machine-generated text may sound intelligent enough to be used for mass scamming campaigns – and that's why, according to Wozniak, the new industry needs to be regulated.
However, the Apple co-founder doubts that any strict legislation will be adopted, since Big Tech companies have vast financial resources to lobby their interests and "the forces that drive for money usually win out."
