TECHNOLOGY: European carriers back Huawei as Geopolitical threat exponentially disastrous to the Tech sector By PR Channel Team  - Consultant Editor, GEOPoliticalMatters.com European News & Media Centre Málaga Following on from our article Building a sustainable global supply chain [24th June 2020] China based Technology media network 36Kr in a press release originally distributed by PR Newswire, says that the escalating Geopolitical tension between China and the US is threatening the security of the global supply chain. The Trump administration announced a new rule on May 15, banning any foreign chipmakers from shipping chips with US software or technology to Huawei without a license granted by the US Department of Commerce. This move may cut ties between Huawei and its chip suppliers, who provide the chips it uses for cellular base stations, servers, and smartphones. 36Kr believes that the new rule will disrupt the entire semiconductor industry and may bring down the global ...

GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS: Russia paid Taliban to kill coalition forces in Afghanistan - Analysis By Iain Fraser - Consultant Editor, GEOPoliticalMatters.com European News & Media Centre Málaga Google Indexed at 09:29 on 300620 In recent days, much of the mainstream media has been reporting that Russian military intelligence [GRU] was paying the Taliban to kill US and possibly other Western service personnel? Having both read the reports and spoken myself to my intelligence contacts I can report that there is little real evidence to support the claim. Whether true or not, both Russia and the Taliban have needless to say denied the allegation, followed closely by US President, Donald Trump who has vehemently denied any knowledge of the matter. The White House has issued a press statement that the subject never reached as high as the president or indeed vice-president. Mike Pence because there was no concrete evidence according to the US Intelligence network. This however, has not deterr...

Asset Tracing in Dubai - Outline By Matrix Intelligence - Corporate Intelligence Experts   The process of Asset Tracing, where investigators conduct advanced financial enquiries to determine a subject's valuables, examining possible revenue generated from criminal activity, and then follow its trail, is complex in any jurisdiction but when you apply the UAE, specifically Dubai to the equation, the complexity takes on another dimension. First, one has to understand the structure of the Emirates and then the sub-structure that applies to Dubai. The United Arab Emirates [UAE] is a federation of seven states, namely Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm al-Qaiwain, Fujairah, Ajman and Ra's al-Khaimah. It has grown from a quiet backwater economy dependent on fishing and a then declining pearl industry to one of the Middle East's powerhouses; a regional trading hub and a valuable economic centre - since the discovery of oil in 1958. Located on the eastern coast of the Arabi...

SUPPLY CHAIN :: COVID-19: Building a sustainable global supply chain - Report By Newsteam - GEOPoliticalMatters.com/PRChannel City of London Newsroom Google Indexed at 07:33 on 240620 2020 has been a tumultuous year for the global supply chain. From the intense disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak to international strain caused by Geopolitical conflict, the supply chain faces challenges like never before - from the Coronavirus to Geopolitics, the global supply chain is under more pressure than ever. In his latest feature of 2020, GEO Editor, Max Chambers says the Key to responding to these challenges is to recognise that the network supply chain is inherently a global marketplace, with buyers and suppliers from all over the world interacting dynamically. At the core of this global marketplace is the flexibility offered by a diverse supply chain. Competition on an international scale drives constant innovation, with standardisation playing a crucial role in creating a level pla...

GEOPOLITICS :: EUROPE: Zones of Influence - The new project for the Mediterranean - Analysis By Iain Fraser - GEOPoliticalMatters.com European News & Media Centre Málaga Google Indexed at 10:45 on 230620 Giancarlo Elia Valori writing for Modern Diplomacy has published an extremely interesting multi-faceted article examining the thought pattern of re-defining the Mediterranean, which I thoroughly recommend to GEO´ Readers. He writes that in the future, the Mediterranean issue will realistically be that of dividing it into zones of influence, albeit communicating with one another – and anyway capable of absorbing also the Geopolitical and military tension that will emerge in other world regions. The idea that the Mediterranean can still be a small “European lake” is now to be completely ruled out, because the European Union, but also its individual Member States, or NATO itself have shown they cannot credibly hold any Mediterranean area. The key event of this demonstration of impot...
