| During a 2021 meeting in Alaska, American and Chinese diplomats engaged in a rare public spat, with then Secretary of State Antony Blinken lambasting China for "threatening the rules-based order." Four years later, Trump's view of power is arguably more in line with China's than any US president in decades. Chinese President Xi Jinping can simply wait Trump out, writes Daniel Ten Kate, then reap the benefits of his destruction. | |

| To have a rules-based order, you have to have rules. The US's were forged in 1787, when the country's founding fathers gathered behind closed doors to iron out a Constitution. But the secrecy of that process was a luxury, writes Zaid Al-Ali. Syria's new leaders will have to take lessons from recent cautionary examples in Egypt and Iraq when they try to write a new constitution in the full glare of local and international attention. | |

| We're not saying Syria should have ChatGPT write its constitution, but it… could? As intelligence becomes cheaper and faster, the basic assumption underpinning our institutions — that human insight is scarce and expensive — no longer holds. When you can effectively consult a dozen experts anytime you like, Azeem Azhar writes, it changes how organizations work and how each of us approaches decision-making. | |

On a clear day, the cranes over the Sinpas Kizilbuk Thermal Wellness Resort are visible for miles around. Located in the coastal town of Marmaris, one of Turkey's most beloved tourism spots, Sinpas sticks out like a sore thumb. The resort's developer is planning to build condos, a hotel, a spa, an aquapark and a shopping center — but must first win a battle against environmentalists and local politicians.

Jonathan Saunders likes gardening, fixing computers, long walks on the beach… and talking about heat pumps. Four years ago, he replaced his home's gas boiler with the more environmentally friendly device. Last year he signed up as a host for Visit a Heat Pump, a program that offers people the opportunity to see a heat pump in the wild and ask questions before investing in one.

Feels on Wheels | | "I don't know if there's ever been a greater destruction of brand equity in this short amount of time. Tesla has become a four-wheel billboard for the immolation of our democracy." | | Tom Price A resident of Berkeley, California, who showed up to a Feb. 15 demonstration in the city with a 'Don't Drive DOGE' sign | | Tesla has a growing optics issue: Sales of the brand are falling precipitously in places where Elon Musk's political interloping is proving unpopular. Sales dropped 12% in California last year, and registrations fell 41% in Germany. Across Europe, sales were down 45% in January. | | |
