Tensions are rising in the South China Sea (SCS) as Beijing steps up its military presence in the world’s major Sea Lane of Communication which has yet again brought to the fore significance of UNCLOS as a tool to address the dispute.

Therefore it is necessary for the international community including India to give a call to address the matter as per international law. The Chinese ambitions is not just limited to the SCS region but also the Himalayas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) as evident last year when 20 Indian military personnel were killed in the Galwan valley.

Joe Biden hasnât even reached the 100-day mark of his presidency, but the verdict is out on the world stage that he is a wet noodle when it comes to projecting American strength abroad. As Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani have no doubt already surmised, if Biden canât (or wonât) even keep Americaâs southern border secure, what can he possibly do to advance American interests abroad?
Biden, a lifelong politician who meandered his way through an unimpressive decades-long career as a senator and vice president, was never a strong thinker. His former boss, Barack Obama, used to like to pretend that Biden was the âtough guyâ in the White House. âYou donât wanna mess with Joe,â he would tell reporters. But everyone from the president to the press corps knew that Biden was the living embodiment of what happens when a man rises to the level of his own incompetence.
