Quick Glance: The US is right to target TikTok
- The US House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly passed a bill to force divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Biden at the UN: Testing Traditional Internationalism
- As the only 'P5' leader present, Biden will make the case that the war is a struggle for the freedoms democracy provides and that internationalist values are crucial in addressing global issues.
- On Tuesday morning, he will deliver a speech outlining his vision of global affairs and pressing international issues - the U.S. president traditionally speaking second among world leaders after Brazil, the first country to sign the U.N. Charter in 1947.
- Experts on multilateral and U.N. issues at New York University’s Center for Global Affairs state, 'With the other P5 leaders absent, Biden could well make this his UNGA, where he puts upfront and unchallenged his vision for what he wants to do internationally and with the U.N., and how American leadership remains an essential part of addressing pressing global issues.'
- Doubts over Biden's vitality and ability to assert American leadership are reflected in polls among foreign publics from Europe to Japan, as well as among U.S. voters. However, many U.S. foreign policy experts argue that in less than three years as president, Biden has achieved an impressive record of international accomplishments surpassing those of recent presidents.
