Über diesen Titel

Donald Trump's address at the World Economic Forum made the headlines yesterday as the US president appeared to rule out using force to take over Greenland. But It was Tuesday's speech by Canadian prime minister Mark Carney that may be remembered in the long run.


Carney’s used his address to tell allies that the "rules-based international order" is over and that "middle powers" like Canada and the EU needed to band together to resist great powers like China and the US.


Carney's message came after recent overtures to China, resetting relations with the superpower as he seeks a less reliant relationship with Trump's erratic US next door.


But what exactly does Carney's message imply, and would the leaders he was addressing have the wherewithal to follow through on such a course of action?


Irish Times China correspondent Denis Staunton explains what Carney’s new vision for the world means and how Beijing views this growing distance between once close allies.
