China’s Global Strategy Under Xi Jinping

In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Steve Tsang, Director of the SOAS China Institute and co-author of the new book China’s Global Strategy under Xi Jinping, to discuss China’s ambitions under Xi Jinping and the ideas shaping Beijing’s approach to the world. They discuss the importance of Xi’s personal worldview in understanding Chinese foreign policy, how his consolidation of power has changed foreign policy decisionmaking, and the role of regime security, ideology, and nationalism in shaping China’s national interests. The conversation also explores why China’s vision for a new international order is inherently global, how the Global South concept has become central to China’s broader ideological ambitions and engagement with the world, and how Xi’s recent focus on economic and technological power supports China’s pursuit of global preeminence.

The Daily Blast: Trump TV Ads Backfire as New Poll Shows He’s Shockingly Toxic for GOP

Donald Trump has been running propaganda ads starring, well, himself as a way to help the GOP in the midterms. The ads are government-funded, and one official even suggested that the payment scheme is partly designed to get media attention to the ads, amplifying them further. It’s appallingly corrupt and potentially illegal. But, amusingly, they’re backfiring: A new Quinnipiac poll shows that Trump is more toxic for the GOP than we thought. It finds his approval at an abysmal 34 percent, and at 31 percent on the economy, a record low for him. Worse, Democrats now lead Republicans on the economy, international conflicts and immigration, three traditional GOP strengths, underscoring just how big a drag he’s become. We talked to David Corn, author of the new book How Russia Won and a New Republic piece on Trumpian propaganda. We discuss how badly Trump is screwing the GOP, why those TV ads are destined to fail, why he’ll grow more dangerous as Election Day approaches, and how to prepare for it.

Could the Last Two Years of Trump Be the Most Dangerous?

Time is running out for Donald Trump and he, and the rest of the world, knows it. This is concerning - how much more damage will he wreak knowing the end is near? Will nations like China and Russia see these coming years as a window of opportunity, a way to take advantage of Trump’s imbecility on the global stage to further their own geopolitical agendas? Max Boot of the Council on Foreign Relations joins David Rothkopf and Rosa Brooks to take a look at foreign relations as we approach the end of Trump 2.0 and how they may ultimately be the most dangerous yet.

Navigating Ireland's Housing Future: Insights with Martin Whelan

This episode of Housing Insights features hosts David Silke sits down in conversation with Martin Whelan, CEO of The Housing Agency. The discussion covers Whelan's professional background across the construction sector, NAMA, and the NTMA, alongside a strategic examination of Ireland's housing landscape, policy implementation, and long-term sector transformation. Key Discussion Points & Analysis Professional Background & Perspectives on Past Bubbles: The discussion traces a career path originating in the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) during Ireland's mid-2000s housing bubble and progressing to NAMA (joined in 2011 as a workout vehicle for roughly €74 billion in impaired assets). Structural groupthink across financial, political, and policy systems is identified as a primary driver of unsustainable development projects that culminated in the economic bust. The Transformative Value of Housing: Housing is defined as society's primary anchor where families are raised, neighbourhoods are built, and communities are sustained for the long term, extending far beyond basic shelter. The Role and Impact of The Housing Agency: The agency is characterised by a strong sense of national and social purpose. The agency's primary impact stems from its unique role as a central connector between government policy and real-world implementation, working in collaboration with local authorities, Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), and state partners like the Land Development Agency (LDA). Meeting the 2030 Delivery Targets and Tackling Costs: Achieving state delivery targets (such as 300,000 homes by 2030) requires structural costs to align with affordability levels. Scaling up Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and attracting private sector equity and development debt are noted as essential for supporting output. Positive momentum in apartment construction is highlighted as a vital component of compact urban development. International Investment & Economic Stability: Insights from events like MIPIM indicate that international institutional investors look primarily for policy certainty and political stability when deploying capital into Ireland. Future Outlook and Careers in Housing: A 10 to 15-year outlook suggests cautious optimism that a more mature policy system can help Ireland break out of historical cycles of crisis. The discussion concludes by highlighting the launch of the Housing Agency's new housing apprenticeship scheme as a vital pipeline for future professionals entering the sector.

Farm Succession: Starting the Conversation

Farm succession is one of the most important conversations any farm family will have, yet it is often one of the most difficult to start. On this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, Michael Hennessy is joined by James McDonnell, Teagasc Farm Management Specialist, to discuss the key steps involved in transferring the family farm to the next generation. James outlines how families can begin the succession planning process, the options available to farmers who are not ready to transfer ownership outright, and the tax reliefs that can help reduce the cost of transfer. He also highlights the farm succession clinics taking place around the country and explains how families can register to attend.
