China's military court sentenced former Defense Minister Li Shangfu to death—effectively life imprisonment with no possibility of reduction or parole—on charges of accepting substantial bribes and favoring allies in military promotions. His predecessor, Wei Fenghe, received the identical sentence. The convictions underscore Beijing's ongoing anti-corruption campaign within the defense ministry.

PoliticalUpdate🇺🇸United States 🇮🇷Iran 🇨🇳China+15d ago

The United States has modified its proposed UN Security Council resolution demanding Iran halt attacks and mining operations in the Strait of Hormuz, but diplomats assess that China and Russia are unlikely to withdraw their vetoes.

Supply ChainUpdate🇨🇳China 🇮🇷Iran 🇴🇲Oman5d ago

China relies on the Strait of Hormuz for over half of its seaborne crude oil imports, making it acutely exposed to disruptions from Middle East regional conflict. Any escalation that threatens shipping through the strait would directly impact Chinese energy security and industrial output.

PoliticalUpdate🇺🇸United States 🇪🇺EU 🇨🇳China5d ago

The US, EU, and China are taking profoundly different regulatory and ethical approaches to AI companion technology, even as hundreds of millions of users globally engage with such systems. Microsoft's 2014 launch of Xiaoice in China exemplifies the divergence: designed to sustain emotionally textured conversations rather than answer questions efficiently, AI companions now address loneliness—which the World Health Organization has declared a global health threat—but with unproven efficacy and contested governance frameworks.

PoliticalUpdate🇵🇰Pakistan 🇦🇫Afghanistan 🇨🇳China+25d ago

Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has called for expanded trilateral and regional cooperation with Afghanistan, China, and other neighboring countries, stating that isolation is not a viable strategy. The overture comes amid heightened tensions between Islamabad and Kabul and the closure of bilateral trade routes, with Afghan analysts arguing that Pakistan must fundamentally reconsider its policies toward Afghanistan before genuine regional connectivity can be established.

Contrary to decades of Western optimism that the internet would democratize authoritarian states, China and Vietnam have instead developed effective digital control strategies that allow them to maintain propaganda monopolies and suppress dissent online. The article argues these regimes have turned digital tools into instruments of state control rather than liberation.

Will warming Arctic trigger further chill in US-China relations or bring them closer?

Passengers on hantavirus-stricken ship sway between fear and boredom It was billed as an Atlantic odyssey to some of the most remote islands in the world. Instead, the cruise on the hantavirus-stricken MV Hondius was left stranded off Cabo Verde, formerly known as Cape Verde, with passengers in their cabins, medical workers in protective suits tending to the sick and the ship’s operator seeking a safe port. The outbreak has left three dead and eight confirmed or suspected cases linked to the ‌Dutch-flagged expedition ship.

As power flows through submarine cables, law of the sea must evolve Beneath the surface of the world’s oceans lies an infrastructure so essential, modern life would stall without it – yet so invisible it rarely enters public debate. Submarine cables, slender fibre-optic systems laid across the seabed, carry over 95 per cent of global internet traffic, transmitting the data that underpins financial markets, diplomatic exchanges and everyday communication. What appears to be neutral infrastructure is, in fact, a deeply political system – one that exposes a...

Hongkongers to pay only HK$240 a year for leukaemia drug after system shake-up More than 400 cancer patients are set to benefit from Hong Kong health authorities’ decision to subsidise a leukaemia drug, reducing annual treatment costs from up to HK$500,000 (US$63,800) to just HK$240. The Hospital Authority said on Wednesday that it began subsidising the medication, Dasatinib, in April, with the government expected to allocate an additional HK$49 million in annual spending to help cover the cost. As part of the move, Dasatinib was reclassified from a “self-financed item” to...

Trump-Xi summit hides simmering trade tensions under the surface, industry experts say The scheduled summit next week between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will almost certainly include proclamations about cooperation, friendship and respect between the leaders of the world’s two largest economies, but beneath the surface, major trade conflict is building, said trade experts on Wednesday. In the past, a weaker China was forced to grit its teeth and grudgingly accept US tariffs, export restrictions and other restrictions, but Beijing has quietly and...
