The hashtag , an acronym for narcissistic personality disorder, is trending on Chinese social media. The disorder has become a hot topic of discussion on RedNote, with so-called NPD influencers sharing their experiences with toxic relationships and offering advice and even paid courses on how to identify narcissists and deal with them. A robot that burst into flames at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing was one of many unexpected moments that have happened so far at the five-day event. This year’s games feature 51 events and 1,301 matches and involve more than 600 teams and 2,056 humanoid robots, according to the organiser. A Mercedes-Benz backed into an escalator at a mall in northern China’s Hebei province on Sunday, damaging a glass barrier and railings. Falling debris damaged an ice cream shop on the floor below and a staff member reportedly suffered slight injuries. Local media reported the incident happened when a customer accidentally stepped on the display car’s accelerator. A war of words has broken out between US President Donald Trump and Doug Ford, the premier of the Canadian province of Ontario. They traded insults on Monday, after trade talks broke down between their countries over the weekend and the US reimposed 50 per cent tariffs on US$28 billion worth of Canadian goods. Trump singled out Ford in a post on Truth Social, calling Ford and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney “clowns”. Ford doubled down on his earlier comments responding to Trump’s tariff threats, by saying the US president could “kiss my a**”.

The anti-corruption campaign has been President Xi Jinping’s signature policy since he rose to power in the autumn of 2012. Xi has linked fighting corruption to the Communist Party’s ability to stay in power and, more than a decade on, the campaign continues apace. China’s ambitious Chang’e 7 mission to explore the Moon’s south pole and search for water ice has been postponed from its expected launch window. The robotic mission is designed to investigate one of the most scientifically valuable regions on the lunar surface, including areas near Shackleton Crater. With no confirmed new launch date, speculation is growing over when China will resume its latest lunar exploration push. The mission also highlights the intensifying global race to understand and eventually use frozen water believed to exist inside permanently shadowed lunar craters. What could Chang’e 7 discover beneath the Moon’s unexplored south pole? WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis. We provide much more than the news of the day.

US President Donald Trump’s administration has said it aims to sever “every” economic lifeline sustaining Iran in what officials have warned will be the toughest sanctions campaign ever seen. The threat, if followed through, would mean putting China, Iran’s biggest trade partner, squarely in the crosshairs of US sanctions.

Typhoon Narra has caused widespread flooding across southern China’s Guangxi region after days of non-stop downpours. Buildings, including a tourist centre, stand partially submerged. Forecasters warn that the heavy rain will continue to pound the region through Wednesday, with Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian provinces all bracing for another round of torrential downpours. Indonesian police have arrested 72 individuals charged with setting 89 fires across nine provinces in Sumatra and the Indonesian side of Borneo. Authorities allege these fires were deliberately set to clear plantations cheaply, amid an intense El Nino pattern and prolonged dry season. Malaysians have launched a humorous appeal to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to help fix their potholes, sparking a meme fest praising his responsiveness and highlighting local government inaction. Mamdani made headlines earlier this year by leading efforts to fix more than 100,000 potholes in storm-damaged New York streets within his first 100 days in office. Adapting to climate change will be increasingly challenging as the weather worsens each year, Asia’s top climate scientist said in a wide-ranging interview with the South China Morning Post. Professor Ben Horton from Hong Kong’s City University also warned of “humanitarian disasters” as the world’s climate becomes more unstable and unpredictable. But despite Horton’s grim outlook, he remains hopeful that things can be turned around if action is taken promptly. At least three people were injured during a series of coordinated attacks in Thailand’s southern provinces on Saturday. Authorities say over 70 coordinated arson attacks damaged infrastructure including railway tracks, a convenience store and government offices. Most of the attacks happened in Narathiwat province.

Join architect and frequent traveller Jacqueline Chak, who once worked at Foster + Partners – the architecture firm behind the original design of Terminal 1 – as she walks through the new T2 facility with two officials from the Airport Authority Hong Kong: Tommy Leung King-yin, executive director of engineering and technical services, and Steven Yiu Siu-chung, executive director of airport operations. Together, they explore T2’s structural features such as its feather-shaped roof and floating “tree columns” in addition to facial recognition technology now used at every security gate and the AI-powered self bag-drop machines that can process checked baggage in just 45 seconds. Nearly 30 years after the construction of HKIA changed the way the world saw airports, T2 is set to continue that momentum and take the evolution of the city’s aviation hub into its next chapter. China’s State Administration for Market Regulation has initiated the country’s largest automotive recall on record, affecting approximately 4.3 million vehicles across nine major manufacturers, including Tesla and Xiaomi. Prompted by mounting safety scrutiny over sleek, flush-mounted electronic door handles, regulators flagged critical risks following collisions where electrical system failures left occupants trapped and hindered emergency rescue operations.

More than 2,000 robots took part in competitions at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing over the weekend. The five-day event saw more than 600 teams competing across 51 distinct events and 1,301 matches. The expanded schedule featured traditional sports like track events, football as well as some new additions, such as kickboxing and table tennis. This year’s games also presented some practical challenges meant to test how the machines could be used for real-world applications in manufacturing, hospitality, home care and logistics. China has unexpectedly delayed the launch of its Chang’e-7 lunar mission, a key part of Beijing’s plan to put astronauts on the Moon before 2030. The spacecraft was expected to begin its journey to the Moon’s south pole in search of water ice, but officials now say the mission does not meet launch conditions. The postponement comes less than two weeks after a Long March rocket suffered a rare failure, raising fresh questions about China’s lunar timeline and its growing space ambitions.

A fugitive becomes a folk hero, a terrible animated movie turns into a surpri Taiwan’s semiconductor and AI revenue windfall is supercharging its asymmetric defence budget, even as Beijing stress-tests critical energy imports and accel China has deployed its J-16 fighter jets to Egypt for the Eagles of Civilization 2026 joint military exercise, marking a significant development in Beijing’s growing defence cooperation with Cairo. A fleet of Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force aircraft, led by heavy twin-seat J-16 multirole fighter jets, arrived at an Egyptian air base to participate in the second edition of the Eagles of Civilization exercise. The Chinese fighters reportedly travelled around 6,000 kilometres across two continents and four countries in nearly nine hours. The deployment required midair refuelling, highlighting the operational range and logistical capabilities involved in the mission. The joint drills are focused on offensive and defensive air combat tactics, air superiority operations, combat search and rescue, electronic warfare and joint battle management. The J-16 deployment is particularly significant because it represents the first reported deployment of China’s heavyweight fighter aircraft to the African continent. Military analysts say the mission provides an important test of pilot endurance, aircraft performance and China’s ability to project military power over long distances. China previously deployed lighter J-10C fighter jets during the inaugural Eagles of Civilization exercise. The arrival of the heavier J-16s signals a potential expansion in the scale and sophistication of China-Egypt military cooperation. The exercise also carries wider geopolitical significance. Egypt has been seeking to diversify its defence partnerships and reduce reliance on traditional suppliers by evaluating advanced military technologies from China. The growing military relationship between Beijing and Cairo is being closely watched by Washington, as deeper Chinese defence cooperation could challenge established US influence in the region.
