Dalai Lama's Succession Plan Revives Tibet Issue for China and the West
The Dalai Lama's succession plans threaten to revive reputational risks for Western companies operating in China and could eventually open the door to a more violent confrontation between Beijing and a subset of the Dalai Lama's followers, which would harm China's relations with India and the West. On June 2, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama, said to a group of followers at a celebration of his birthday in the Indian city of Dharamshala that he planned to reincarnate after his death and that he had set up a non-profit group, the Gaden Phodrang Trust, that would have full authority to identify and proclaim his successor. An official with the Gaden Phodrang Trust said his successor could be of any gender and any nationality, but the head of the Tibetan government-in-exile, Penpa Tsering, cited the Dalai Lama as saying he would be reborn in "a free world,"

Vietnam's Administrative Overhaul: A New Era of Governance and Investment Conditions
Vietnam's historic administrative restructuring will trigger short-term bureaucratic friction but lays the foundation for leaner administration, fiscal efficiency and improved investment conditions if the government effectively implements the changes over time. On June 30, Vietnam officially rolled out its most significant administrative restructuring in its post-unification history. This followed the National Assembly passing a resolution on June 12 to merge the country's 63 provincial‑level units into 34, now comprising 28 provinces and six centrally governed, provincial-level cities. This reform rests on an earlier April 12 directive from the Central Committee that authorized merging 52 previously existing provinces into 23 new units, the elimination of the entire district level (formerly there were 696 mid-level jurisdictions between province and commune), and a 60-70 % reduction in commune-level units under a new province-commune two‑tier model (with the prior inclusion of the district level constituting a three-tier model). The new local administrations formally assumed full

Ukraine Grapples With a Freeze on U.S. Weapons Deliveries
The U.S. decision to pause key arms deliveries to Ukraine will degrade Ukraine's ability to repel intensifying Russian attacks, raising the risk that Kyiv could eventually be pressured into accepting unfavorable terms in future peace negotiations if Washington does not reverse its decision or if Ukraine fails to secure alternative support. On July 1, the United States announced it was pausing the delivery of key military aid to Ukraine. According to U.S. officials cited in multiple media reports, the weapons affected by this decision include interceptors for the Patriot air defense system, precision-guided artillery shells and air-launched missiles compatible with Ukraine's F-16 fighter jets. While the list of delayed weapons has not been made public, if the media reports are accurate, the freeze will impact deliveries of weapons that are critical to Ukraine's defensive and offensive capabilities. On July 2, Ukraine's Defense Ministry said it had not received any official
