America’s medical industry is in a crisis, and Trump is trying to fix this with tariffs and executive orders. Is he saving American health or destroying it?

Taiwan’s military is testing dozens of newly purchased missiles as part of an annual exercise, including the Land Sword II surface-to-air missile.

Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin met for the 45th time since Xi came to power, as the Chinese leader attended Moscow’s military parade marking the 80th anniversary of World War II victory. But this wasn’t the diplomatic triumph Beijing had hoped for. Xi arrived expecting unity, support, and perhaps even a joint front against the U.S. What he got instead? No alliance. No anti-U.S. pact. While headlines screamed “Friends of Steel,” the reality told a different story—one of diplomatic pageantry, unmet expectations, and a leader who left with less than he came for.

Recently, a steel trader in Tangshan city in China revealed that the average profit for Tangshan steel mills is only around 20 yuan per ton. According to him, this equates to earning just 2 cents per kilogram of steel. This slim profit is almost negligible and could easily lead to losses. In such a cost-profit inversion, the survival pressure on steel companies is immense. Every production decision feels like walking on thin ice, as even a small fluctuation in costs could be detrimental to the company.

A paper published last month in China’s top aviation journal, the peer-reviewed Acta Aeronautica et Astronautica Sinica, reveals that the J-36 design team is in the early stages of making a naval variant suitable for use with the PLA Navy’s growing fleet of aircraft carriers. And like with other features like EMALS, the Chinese are copying the American military’s best practices and developing them at a rate far faster than that of the Pentagon’s procurement system. In this case they’re working on a computer system that will help pilots safely land on a moving aircraft carrier, something like the U.S. Navy’s precision landing mode or PLM used by carrier air wing Super Hornet and F-35C pilots.

The United States and China agreed Monday to slash their massive recent tariffs, restarting stalled trade between the world’s two biggest economies and setting off a rally in global financial markets.

China needs a spirited population in the tariff war with the US. But the Chinese people are turning their backs on the CCP and Xi Jinping.

China just bent the knee to the USA in a big way. ◘

A breakthrough has been made in the trade war between the US and China after two days of negotiations.Both nations have agreed to a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs as well as reducing the levies by 115 per cent.“The talks in Geneva were very friendly, the relationship is very good – we’re not looking to hurt China, China is being hurt very badly,” US President Donald Trump said.He said he would talk to Chinese President Xi Jinping potentially “at the end of the week”.President Trump claims a bigger deal was on offer, but China withdrew from it at the last minute.

High-level trade talks between the US and China kick off this weekend in Geneva, with the Trump administration signaling it may slash tariffs as high as 145% down to 60% or even 34%. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng lead the negotiations, which could yield immediate relief for both economies. Key issues include curbing fentanyl exports, lifting rare earth restrictions, and stabilizing strained bilateral ties.

Last week, the media reported, again, that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack a widely-used internet security protocol called RSA encryption. How much do we need to worry about it? Is the “quantum apocalypse” near, as some have claimed? Let’s take a look.

When East meets West, history doesn’t just cross borders—it weaves new legacies.More than a thousand years ago, a group of Jewish merchants from Persia followed the Silk Road deep into the heart of imperial China. There, these Jewish settlers built a life that defied expectations. They kept reading the Torah in Hebrew, kept a kosher diet, and celebrated Passover—all while adopting Chinese surnames, mastering Confucian texts, and passing the imperial exams to serve as Ming officials. For centuries, they stood at the cultural crossroads, living as Jews in a Confucian empire, preserving both tradition and adaptation in perfect balance.But in modern times, that delicate balance began to unravel—until, one day in 2016, five Chinese women appeared at Jerusalem’s Western Wall, praying in Hebrew with tears in their eyes. This is a story of two worlds, two civilizations, and one enduring faith—the untold journey of China’s lost Jews, and their path from Kaifeng to Jerusalem.

China may have played a role in Canada’s recent election. And that’s not even the worst of it

After more than a month of stalemate, a major update has come in the ongoing U.S.-China tariff war. At 6:00 AM on 7th, Beijing time, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Vice Premier He Lifeng would visit Switzerland from May 9th to 12th for talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. This meeting is seen by many as a potential “breakthrough” in the face of the 145% versus 125% tariff standoff between the two countries and has drawn significant attention.Join this channel to get access to perks:

Xi Jinping’s trip to Moscow was meant to showcase a powerful China–Russia alliance—but the outcome isn’t what Xi had anticipated. Putin avoided siding with Beijing against the U.S. and quietly pressured Xi to relocate China’s industrial base to Russia. Then came the footage Beijing never wanted the world to see: close-ups of Xi displaying signs of possible health issues. From shaky head movements and a bald patch to a mysterious black cup, the cameras of foreign media have historically revealed more than state media ever would. A closer look at China–Russia ties—and the health of the man behind China’s most closely guarded secret.

The Nigerian military signed a deal with Chinese state-owned weapons manufacturer Norinco to set up a factory as part of an effort to develop a domestic arms production capacity in the West African country.The deal is the latest in a series of announcements about increased Chinese weapons sales to African militaries, which are rapidly changing battlefield dynamics across the continent. This week, Eric, Cobus & Géraud discuss how Chinese drones, surface-to-air missile systems, and other advanced arms technologies are now commonplace, often available at a much lower cost than comparable weapons from the U.S. and Europe.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs have shaken the global economy, including critical semiconductor supplies chains. In response, major companies like Taiwan’s TSMC and the United States’s Nvidia have attempted to tread carefully to avoid provoking either Washington or Beijing. Which countries and companies will be hit hardest? How can Taiwan protect both its domestic economy and its overseas investments? And how significant is Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s recent trip to Beijing?

AFP: The Philippine military said today that there has been an incident involving the Chinese navy near Huangyan Dao in the South China Sea. The Philippines said that Chinese military vessels conducted “a high-risk maneuver.” What’s your response to that? Can you share more information?Lin Jian: The Philippines’ remarks disrespect facts and confuse right and wrong. Huangyan Dao has always been China’s territory. The Philippine military vessel attempted to intrude into waters of Huangyan Dao. China took necessary measures to handle the matter, which are legitimate, lawful, professional and restrained. The Philippines’ repeated infringement and provocation at sea is the root cause leading to the current tensions. China urges the Philippines to stop infringement and provocation at once, and refrain from challenging China’s firm resolve to safeguard the nation’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.

China’s domestically made C919 passenger jet has been hit with another major setback from the European Union.
