See also the China tag (which was also made by me).

My original rationale for the China tag:

It seems perhaps odd to single China out for a tag while not having tags for e.g. USA, Southeast Asia, ASEAN, United Nations, Middle Powers. But we do have a tag for posts relevant to the European Union. And China does seem like a particularly important topic, and one that it makes sense to have a specific tag for. And maybe we should indeed have tags for United Nations and Middle Powers.

I’d also be interested in thoughts on whether BRICS, Rising Powers, or something else would be a better label/​scope for this particular tag than China.

I think a similar rationale also applies to a Russia tag (though with a bit less strength, as China seems more important than Russia for most topics EAs particularly care about, with the likely exception of nuclear risk).
