Leverage, however small, over the US & China is essential as their rivalry deepens. That should be at the core of any long-term UK strategy. We need to be thinking abt long-term adaptability to great power competition & that includes over Chagos.
8. Trump. Worried that America’s mad king could prove a menace? The UK has few levers more potent vs the US than Diego Garcia. But give BIOT away and - best-case - the UK becomes an extraneous middle-man. Tragicomic outcome is UK cedes sovereignty, then Mauritius sells DG to US.

I wrote in @NikkeiAsia about Washington's narrowing window of opportunity to defend Taiwan. China's greyzone tactics & growing military strength will make it increasingly unfeasible for Washington to deter Beijing without risk of major escalation
Washington's Taiwan window is rapidly closing

That might not be the most likely outcome but it is plausible & has happened historically. It goes beyond short- to medium-term economic indicators. Don't think that being overtaken rapidly & irreversibly can't happen to the West because it's the West. Have a plan to adapt. 4/4
