- •No coverage of consequences for the Canadian Arctic if the American umbrella falls
BIASES

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS

- •AUKUS and Quad rest on the follower assumption — Iran invalidates it
- •Strategic coolness, no triumphalism: Beijing watches and takes notes
