What are the different meanings of 3 writings of diplomacy – Diplomacy – DIPLOMACY?

Three writings of diplomacy detail varying perspectives on the concept: diplomacy in lowercase letters relates to daily conflict resolution and representation; Diplomacy in uppercase signifies the professional realm of negotiations and treaties; DIPLOMACY, all in capital letters, embodies a glamorous, aristocratic facade associated with flags, receptions, and protocol, reminiscent of a historical aristocratic profession.

National champions do not help to win the race for digital industrialisation

,
National champions are not the key to digital industrialization success, as shown by China's unique environment fostering such champions. The U.S. model of encouraging innovation and embracing failures in Silicon Valley differs from China's approach. Instead of favoring national champions, countries should focus on assessing their strengths in the digital sphere, developing regional data strategies, ensuring access to data, and seeking common ground with developed nations for mutually beneficial digital economic policies.
