US Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a speech on Monday in which he denounced the practice of arbitrary detention, calling it âcompletely unacceptableâ. Heâs correct, but whatâs especially puzzling about this practice is that states sometimes use it even when it is contrary to their stated aims and damaging to their overall interests.
China offers an apt illustration. A paramount goal of Chinese statecraft has been to convince the rest of the world that its rise to greater global influence is a benign development, and to portray the country as a responsible power with (nearly) everyoneâs best interest at heart.

EDMONTON A year has not lessened the grief nor questions of the families of 13 Edmontonians who were killed in a plane crash Jan. 8, 2020. We re kind of stuck on Jan. 8, you know? says Javad Soleimani. Of the 176 people on board the Ukrainian International Airlines flight PS752, 55 were Canadian. Thirteen victims were Edmontonians, including Soleimani s wife Elnaz Nabiyi. Everybody on board died when, shortly after takeoff from Tehran, the airplane was shot down with surface-to-air missiles fired by the Iranian revolutionary guard corps. I have no words, vocabulary, to put what has been the last year, echoed Reza Akbari, an Iranian Canadian who was friends with another victim of the tragedy, U of A engineering student Nasim Rahmanifar.
