Adarga Briefly Issue 30: How has China framed Admiral Sir Tony Radakin's visit to Beijing?

While UK media coverage downplayed the visit’s strategic implications, Chinese state media presented a slightly different narrative: one of mutual interest, and subtle recalibration.

In our latest issue of Adarga Briefly, we explore how China swiftly folded Radakin’s visit into its broader narrative - subtly casting the UK not as a reluctant actor, but as a pragmatic power navigating a new geopolitical reality.

This isn’t about what was said, but how it was framed, from synchronised coverage of parallel economic and military diplomacy to the omission of contentious issues.

Adarga Briefly is developed via a powerful combination of geopolitical analysts and our specialist AI software.

Much of this week's assessment was done of Chinese language articles, made easy with Adarga's automated translation and synthesis capabilities for better, faster data analysis.
