Standing on the Pasang Lhamu (Betrawati–Rasuwagadhi) highway; the main China–Nepal trade route—Saloni reports the road is completely severed, with sections washed away and a boundary pillar left isolated by mudslides. Locals say the entire area beyond the Trishuli/Bhotekoshi river was once filled with houses and neighbourhoods; now only one or two buildings remain, the rest swept away or submerged under debris and silt. Authorities estimate about 42 km of this highway and dozens of bridges have been destroyed, cutting off Rasuwa district and forcing reliance on helicopters for rescue and relief.

The first Chinese study of the Nepal-Tibet disaster found that the surface velocity of the debris flow from the flash floods was moving at about 19 metres (62ft) per second when it first struck Gyrong Port in Tibet. The speed is almost twice the average pace of the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, when he set the 100-metre record in 2009. While it is still not clear what caused the avalanche that triggered the flooding, Chinese scientists say that rising global temperatures are causing ice in the Himalayas to melt faster. At least 16 people have died and more than 546 others remain missing on the China side of the disaster zone, while the death toll on the Nepal side has reached 1,058 with 4,606 still missing.

China’s three largest state-owned airlines—Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines—have reported a combined first-half net loss of about 8.2 billion yuan ($1.22 billion) for 2026. Marking their seventh consecutive year of first-half losses, the carriers were heavily impacted by surging jet fuel costs driven by geopolitical conflicts and sluggish domestic travel demand. Despite revenue growth across all three airlines, skyrocketing fuel expenses completely erased financial gains.

The Indian Navy has commissioned INS Nipun, its second indigenous Diving Support Vessel, strengthening deep-sea diving and submarine rescue capabilities. With China expanding its underwater reach and Pakistan adding Chinese-origin Hangor-class submarines, India is building a wider undersea defence network combining submarines, sonar systems, anti-submarine warfare craft and deep-sea support vessels. This video explains how INS Nipun gives Indian navy a dedicated deep-sea diving and submarine rescue platform on the western seaboard.

China this year saw a record 12.7 million fresh university graduates, who now face an uphill battle securing stable work in an already crowded job market. Since 2020, China’s youth unemployment has been a persistent problem, forcing many young Chinese to seek work in the public sector for “iron rice bowl” jobs. Others are opting for postgraduate study to boost their future prospects or defer entering the workforce. But many have also been relying on gig work to make ends meet.

Rescuers on Saturday restored the first sharp-curve section on China’s national highway G216, preparing for full reopening of the critical lifeline to the disaster-hit border port of Gyirong in Tibet. The road had been completely destroyed by the flash flood caused by a high-altitude glacial collapse in Nepal on August 26. The torrent of water, ice, rock and debris slammed into Gyirong port and caused widespread damage as it moved downstream.

Xi Jinping Purges Top PLA Generals | Galwan-Era Commander Removed | India-China Border In Focus
Xi Jinping has intensified his crackdown on corruption and alleged discipline violations inside China’s People’s Liberation Army, with several senior military figures removed from key positions.
The latest military shake-up has drawn attention in India because of the background of some of the officials involved. A former commander of China’s Western Theater Command, which oversees the region facing India, has been removed from the party and military establishment.
The Western Theater Command played a major role during the 2017 Doklam standoff and the 2020 Galwan clash, making the latest developments particularly significant for India-China relations.
Several other senior PLA figures have also faced investigations and removal amid Xi Jinping’s broader anti-corruption campaign.
