The South China Morning Post highlights the key takeaways from both documents. The Italian cruise ship Costa Serena docked in the Japanese city of Nagoya on Tuesday to house about 4,000 officials and athletes at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. There have been complaints about the games’ accommodation after local organisers opted not to build a dedicated athletes’ village to house the 17,000 participants and officials. China’s new Pinglu Canal entered service as the country’s first river-to-sea canal on Wednesday. Built to handle ships of up to 5,000 tonnes, the infrastructure will shorten the transit distance from southwestern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the sea by 560km (348 miles), bypassing ports in Guangdong province. By linking an expansive system of rivers and tributaries directly to the Gulf of Tonkin, the waterway provides landlocked areas across southern and southwestern China – such as Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces – with faster routes to Asean markets and international sea lanes. In recent years, Loudoun County in the US state of Virginia has become known as the data centre capital of the world. The community of Sterling has even earned the name “data centre alley”, after around 250 data centres were built in the area only slightly larger than Hong Kong and plans were made for more than 100 more. About 75 per cent of Americans now oppose having data centres built near them, up from 42 per cent just a year ago, according to a poll published by Heatmap News. Residents have complained about noise and pollution caused by the booming AI industry. However, US politicians including President Donald Trump, as well as tech industry advocates, say Chinese influence campaigns are amplifying grassroots opposition – a claim locals who live near the centres deny. In a massive and unprecedented policy shift, the United States military has officially confirmed for the first time that it has weapons deployed in Earth’s orbit.

China has imposed sweeping new exit and entry restrictions effective Sept 15 to protect national security and tech sovereignty. Under new State Council rules, citizens who violate technology import/export controls or endanger industrial and technological security can be banned from leaving China, while those who commit acts harming national interests abroad face 6-month to 3-year exit bans upon return. Foreign nationals face 1-5 year entry bans for false visa statements. The move comes amid the US-China AI and chip race. WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.

China’s economic challenges are mounting as the country’s once-powerful property sector continues to weaken. Property investment plunged 19.9% year-on-year, highlighting the depth of the real-estate downturn that has weighed on growth for several years. While factory output has been supported by strong demand for AI and advanced manufacturing, consumer spending remains subdued and investment activity is slowing. The latest figures underscore the difficult balancing act facing Beijing as it seeks to revive confidence and stabilize the world’s second-largest economy.

Residents from the US, China and across Asia share their thoughts on whether stricter regulations are necessary. Calls by US tech leaders for a voluntary slowdown in artificial intelligence development have prompted a sharp pushback from China. Researchers and state media have questioned whether the proposal is a genuine push for industry responsibility or an effort to entrench America’s technological lead. The response comes as major AI developers disclose cases of their AI agents breaking out of secure testing environments. In partnership with: Airport Authority Hong Kong Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) expanded its capacity with the three-runway system project, which included reclaiming 650 hectares (1,606 acres) of land over contaminated mud pits using pioneering and eco-friendly engineering solutions that would protect the surrounding waters. As a result, marine life has actually thrived around the new runway in response to some of the measures taken. Join Tommy Leung, executive director of engineering and technical services for the Airport Authority Hong Kong, and marine biologist Kenneth Leung as they tour HKIA and discuss how the development of the third runway set a new global standard for sustainable coastal infrastructure. The construction work involved using deep cement mixing – a process that injects cement into soft mud to create solid foundation pillars – to avoid potential toxic releases from traditional dredging. The project also features structured eco-sea walls and artificial reefs that have oyster shells attached, which create crucial microhabitats that can double local marine biodiversity. China accounts for approximately $10 billion of approved loans from the New Development Bank (NDB), representing about 25% of the bank’s total portfolio.

Chinese scientists have discovered unusually rich gold and silver deposits deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. The precious metals were found inside massive sulfide formations around an active hydrothermal field. Some samples reportedly contained concentrations exceeding those found in certain deposits on land. Researchers believe the region could hold significant economic and mining value. But the discovery also brings renewed attention to the controversial future of deep sea mining. WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.

Sanjay Sah, a Nepali flood survivor, has been reunited with his family after being rescued 10 days after he was trapped inside the upper Trishuli 3A hydropower station tunnel. Sah survived on floodwater and seepage from rock debris until rescuers finally reached him. As search and rescue operations continue, Sah urged authorities not to give up. Scientists have developed a lightweight, battery-free device that can stimulate the nervous system and help improve the mobility of stroke survivors with impaired movement and walking instability.
