The Lost Tibetan Kingdom of Guge and Its Sacred Bond with...
The Lost Tibetan Guge Kingdom was no ordinary polity. It was a spiritual citadel, a cradle of renaissance, and a forgotten bridge between Tibet, India, and the sacred heart of the Himalayas.

On 7 November, in the Japanese Diet, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi was asked what Japan would do if China used force against Taiwan or tried to cut off the sea lanes around it. Calmly, she gave an answer grounded in existing Japanese law: such a scenario could amount to an “existential crisis” for Japan under its 2015 security legislation, opening the door to collective self-defense alongside allies.
