Also, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the UN Climate Summit the country's first national emissions reduction targets. It marks a shift in China's approach to climate policy, which, until now, allowed emissions to grow in tandem with economic growth. And, Denmark issued a formal apology yesterday for forcing Indigenous women and girls from Greenland to use contraceptive devices. Beginning in the 1960s, Danish doctors inserted IUDs into thousands of Inuit women and school-age girls, often without their or their parents' knowledge or consent. Plus, climate change has exacerbated drought and extreme weather in northern Ghana, leaving many in the agricultural region struggling to grow enough food.

Michael speaks with Zack Cooper, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, about the evolving dynamics of US policy toward China and the Indo-Pacific. Zack discusses how President Trump's pursuit of a meeting with Xi Jinping has shaped US policy and offers new analysis on the timeline for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Zack also confronts the reality of the so-called "axis of upheaval"—a tightening cooperation between China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran—and what it means for US foreign policy.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover Charlie Kirk's memorial service and its powerful messages of faith and forgiveness, Trump's crackdown on Harvard and Berkeley, fresh threats from al Qaeda inside the U.S., Trump's push to retake Bagram air base, TikTok's murky new ownership deal, Argentina's fight against socialism, and what's ahead this week on the Wright Report. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.   Charlie Kirk Memorial in Arizona: Erika Kirk vowed, “No one will ever forget my husband's name — and I will make sure of it.” She forgave the assassin, telling the crowd, “That man… I forgive him.” Trump honored Kirk as a man of grace but joked, “Charlie did not hate his opponents. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponents, and I don't want the best for them.”   Trump Hits Harvard and Berkeley: The White House placed Harvard on a federal watchlist restricting access to $550 million in funds, citing civil rights violations and leftist violence. UC Berkeley handed over names of 160 students and staff after pressure to expose antisemitic and radical faculty. Bryan says this is Trump waging the fight “where it belongs — in their pocketbooks.”   Al Qaeda Plot Inside the U.S.: The National Counterterrorism Center warns AQ operatives from Yemen are in multiple American cities. Rumors suggest they may pose as police or medics during future attacks. Bryan urges vigilance: “While we may be done with Radical Islam — it is not done with us.”   Trump Demands Afghanistan Return Bagram Air Base: The president warned the Taliban, “Bad things are going to happen” if the U.S. is not given control of the base, citing the need to monitor China's nearby nuclear sites. Kabul insists “not one inch” will be ceded.   TikTok's U.S. Ownership Deal: Fox's Murdoch, Oracle's Larry Ellison, and Dell's Michael Dell will sit on TikTok's new U.S. board, with one seat reserved for a Chinese official. Trump insists user data will be controlled on U.S. soil, but skeptics warn Xi will not give up his propaganda tool without concessions.   Argentina's Milei Meets Trump: With inflation down from 250 percent to 34 percent, Milei still faces socialist backlash at home. Trump may use the U.S. Exchange Stabilization Fund to provide a financial lifeline. Bryan warns, “Never underestimate a death cult. Marxists don't get tired of fighting.”   Looking Ahead This Week: Trump promises revelations about autism and Tylenol, a bailout for struggling farmers and truckers, and big updates on immigration, Biden's mental decline, and global conflicts from Gaza to the Pacific.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Charlie Kirk memorial Erika Kirk forgiveness, Trump joke Charlie Kirk opponents, Harvard federal funds restriction, UC Berkeley antisemitic faculty names, al Qaeda AQAP U.S. cities plot, Trump Bagram air base Taliban threat, TikTok U.S. ownership Murdochs Ellison Dell, Xi Jinping propaganda TikTok, Argentina Milei Trump Exchange Stabilization Fund, Trump autism Tylenol link, U.S. farmers truckers tariff bailout, Biden mental decline cognition

Wall Street closed out the highly anticipated Federal Reserve week with stocks notching fresh all-time highs as prospects for more rate cuts bolstered the outlook for corporate earnings.

The in-person meeting would be the first between the leaders of the world's two largest economies since the US president returned to office, and settles an extended back-and-forth between Washington and Beijing around the venue and timing.

China must accelerate reform measures to reinforce the stable and healthy development of the capital market in the coming five years as a strategic pivot in transforming the country's economic growth model, said leading economists and financial experts.著名经济学家和金融专家表示，中国必须加快改革措施，在未来五年加强资本市场的稳定和健康发展，作为转变国家经济增长模式的战略支点。Despite Thursday's market correction, they said the recent rally in Chinese equities, together with the ongoing regulatory initiatives to enhance market stability, still highlights a strategic shift toward positioning the capital market as a central driver of innovation, consumption and domestic economic circulation amid external headwinds.他们表示，尽管周四出现了市场回调，但中国股市近期的反弹，以及正在实施的加强市场稳定的监管举措，仍突显出在外部不利因素的影响下，中国将资本市场定位为创新、消费和国内经济循环的核心驱动力的战略转变。Looking at the new round of capital market reform to be unfolded in the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, top priorities should include firmer determination to close regulatory loopholes that leave room for improper profits, ensure market fairness for retail investors, and improve transparency for global investors, they added.他们补充说，展望第15个五年计划（2026-30）期间将展开的新一轮资本市场改革，当务之急应该包括更坚定地弥补为不正当利润留下空间的监管漏洞，确保散户投资者的市场公平，提高全球投资者的透明度。Proposals for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for national economic and social development will be studied at the fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, scheduled to be held in Beijing in October.关于制定国民经济和社会发展第15个五年计划的建议将在定于10月在北京举行的中国共产党第二十届中央委员会第四次全体会议上进行研究。Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, called for giving full play to the pivotal role of the capital market at the Central Financial Work Conference in 2023.习近平，中国共产党中央委员会主席，在2023年的中央金融工作会议上，要求充分发挥资本市场的关键作用。At the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau meeting on July 30, which Xi chaired, it was pointed out that the attractiveness and inclusiveness of the domestic capital market should be boosted, in order to consolidate the improving and stabilizing trend of the capital market.7月30日习主持的中共中央政治局会议上，习指出要增强国内资本市场的吸引力和包容性，巩固资本市场向好企稳的态势。"The ongoing rise of A shares reflects that the strategic position of the capital market in China's economic agenda is rising significantly," said Tian Xuan, president of Tsinghua University's National Institute of Financial Research and associate dean of Tsinghua University's PBC School of Finance.清华大学国家金融研究院院长、中国人民银行金融学院副院长田轩表示：“A股的持续上涨反映出资本市场在中国经济议程中的战略地位正在显著上升。”In the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan period, high-quality development of the capital market will act not only as a key pathway to address structural economic issues, but also as the "central pivot" for transforming the country's growth model, Tian said.田说，在即将到来的“十五”计划期间，资本市场的高质量发展不仅是解决结构性经济问题的关键途径，而且是转变国家增长模式的“中心支点”。The bottlenecks faced by traditional growth drivers, the remaining financing difficulties for innovation and intensified global tech competition all demand steady, healthy growth of the capital market to guide long-term capital into core technologies, Tian said. The growing household demand for wealth management also requires the capital market to provide diverse investment channels, he said.田说，传统增长动力面临的瓶颈，创新的剩余融资困难以及加剧的全球技术竞争都需要资本市场稳定，健康的增长，以引导长期资本进入核心技术。他说，家庭对财富管理日益增长的需求也要求资本市场提供多样化的投资渠道。He added that China should further improve fundamental institutions to ensure sustainable market momentum, calling for better management of expectations, greater policy transparency and timely, positive signals to shore up sentiment, as well as stricter information disclosure and an improved delisting mechanism to raise listed companies' quality.他补充说，中国应该进一步完善基本制度，以确保市场的可持续发展势头，呼吁更好地管理预期，提高政策透明度，及时发出积极信号来提振市场情绪，以及更严格的信息披露和完善的退市机制，以提高上市公司的质量。China's A-share market fell on Thursday, as experts cited profit-taking pressure, while the United States Federal Reserve's 25-basis-point interest rate cut on Wednesday fell short of some investors' expectations for a bolder move.中国A股市场周四下跌，专家们认为这是获利了结的压力，而美联储周三降息25个基点的决定，没有达到一些投资者对更大胆举措的预期。Despite a 1.15 percent drop on Thursday, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index has risen by nearly a quarter from the April trough, closing at 3,831.66 points. US investment bank Goldman Sachs said in a report on Thursday that it forecasts an 8 percent upside for the A-share market over the coming 12 months.尽管周四下跌了1.15%，但基准上证综合指数已经从4月份的低点上涨了近四分之一，收于3831.66点。美国投资银行高盛在周四的一份报告中表示，预计未来12个月a股市场将上涨8%。Liu Jipeng, a senior expert on capital markets and a professor at the Business School of China University of Political Science and Law, said that further closing regulatory gaps to safeguard market fairness and investor interest would hold the key to future capital market reforms and steady market growth.资本市场资深专家、中国政法大学商学院教授刘继鹏表示，进一步缩小监管空白，以维护市场公平和投资者利益，将是未来资本市场改革和市场稳定增长的关键。"A slow bull market has taken shape. The goal should be making it steady and long-lasting, so that the capital market can serve as a platform for common prosperity, where the majority of investors can share returns, rather than only a few getting rich overnight," Liu said.“一个缓慢的牛市已经形成。目标应该是使其稳定和持久，以便资本市场可以作为共同繁荣的平台，大多数投资者可以分享回报，而不是只有少数人一夜暴富。”Wu Qing, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, pledged at a recent symposium to accelerate the new round of capital market reform and opening-up to consolidate the improving market trend, stressing that the market is at a crucial stage in its pursuit of high-quality development in the 15th Five-Year Plan period.中国证券监督管理委员会主席吴清在最近的一次座谈会上承诺，将加快新一轮资本市场改革开放，巩固市场向好趋势，并强调市场正处于“十五”期间追求高质量发展的关键阶段。China has ramped up capital market reform efforts after it released a high-level guideline in April last year, rolling out nine measures to promote the high-quality development of the capital market.自去年4月发布高层指导意见以来，中国加大了资本市场改革力度，推出了促进资本市场高质量发展的九项措施。Since then, the country has issued new rules and measures to better regulate holding reductions by major shareholders, raise the dividends for equity shareholders, and encourage the entry of long-term capital while improving mechanisms to anchor market liquidity amid slumps.此后，国家出台了新的规则和措施，以更好地规范大股东减持，提高股东股息，鼓励长期资本进入，同时完善机制，以稳定市场流动性。Liu attributed the recent rally to such reform measures, and said that more must be done to further enhance market fairness, including in areas such as stock issuance review and pricing, quantitative trading and large shareholders' stakes.刘将最近的反弹归因于这些改革措施，并表示必须做更多的工作来进一步增强市场公平，包括股票发行审查和定价，量化交易和大股东股权等领域。Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said that enforcing rules with greater rigor and raising penalties for fraudulent practices are essential to building lasting investor trust.悦凯证券首席经济学家罗志恒表示，更严格地执行规定，加大对欺诈行为的惩罚力度，对于建立投资者的持久信任至关重要。With the A-share market showing an improving and stabilizing trend, Luo said it can lift household income and offset part of the drag from the housing slowdown, and make people more confident to spend, thus supporting consumption and overall economic vitality.随着A股市场呈现出改善和稳定的趋势，罗说，这可以提高家庭收入，抵消住房放缓的部分拖累，使人们更有信心消费，从而支持消费和整体经济活力。The A-share rally has also enhanced the attractiveness of Chinese financial markets globally.a股的上涨也增强了中国金融市场在全球的吸引力。Thomas Fang, head of China global markets at investment bank UBS, said that global investors are showing greater interest in Chinese financial assets as the country's shining economic prospects help them to diversify their allocations from US dollar-denominated assets.投资银行瑞银（UBS）中国全球市场主管方德华（Thomas Fang）表示，全球投资者对中国金融资产表现出更大的兴趣，因为中国光明的经济前景有助于他们将资产配置从美元计价资产中分散出来。Fang applauded China's recent opening-up policies that offer global investors more instruments to invest in China, facilitating their risk management and helping them take bigger positions in the country.方赞扬了中国最近的开放政策，为全球投资者提供了更多投资中国的工具，促进了他们的风险管理，并帮助他们在中国占据更大的位置。capital market reformn.资本市场改革/ˈkæpɪtl ˈmɑːkɪt rɪˈfɔːm/A-share marketn.A股市场（中国内地股票市场）/eɪ ʃeə ˈmɑːkɪt/

The Washington Roundtable is joined by the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Keren Yarhi-Milo, the dean of the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, to discuss why interpreting the psychology of world leaders such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping is essential to understanding global crises. Clinton also shares her thoughts on Gavin Newsom's plan for redistricting in California, the Trump Administration's free-speech crackdown in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, and ABC's decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air. “Jimmy Kimmel and all of the late-night comedians have certainly said a lot of things about me that I found painful, offensive, outraging. It never crossed my mind that I could call up and say, ‘Hey, get rid of this guy,' ” Clinton says. “It's all at the behest of the President, who wants to stifle and remove any opposition, and certainly anyone who makes fun of him.” Clinton and Yarhi-Milo's new book, “Inside the Situation Room: The Theory and Practice of Crisis Decision-Making,” was published this week.This week's reading: “The Grave Threat Posed by Donald Trump's Attack on Jimmy Kimmel,” by Isaac Chotiner “Israel's New Occupation,” by Ruth Margalit “J.

Asia correspondent Adam Hancock spoke to Lisa Owen about the Taliban government banning books written by women from Afghan universities, as well as Donald Trump preparing to have his first call with Xi Jinping since China's massive military parade.

On today's podcast:1) The president threatens TV networks that criticize him after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. President Trump has said US broadcast networks should face scrutiny over their licenses if they're too critical of him, and media executives and academics say companies are "bending to the will" of Trump's administration, making media companies look like state-run outlets.2) The call between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping may determine the fate of TikTok and potentially ease trade tensions between the two countries. Trump and Xi are due to discuss a framework agreement to shift control of TikTok's US operations from its Chinese parent ByteDance to a consortium of American investors.3) President Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to let him fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while she fights his attempt to oust her. The Justice Department asked the court to at least temporarily pause a Washington federal judge’s ruling that has allowed Cook to remain in her position for now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Plus" summit in Tianjin, President Xi Jinping unveiled the Global Governance Initiative (GGI) which highlights sovereign equality, respect for international law, genuine multilateralism, and people-centered cooperation and concrete cooperation. Liu Baocheng and Paul Frimpong weigh in on how GGI is presented as a blueprint for reforming global governance and expanding the role of the Global South.

A key aspect of Xi Jinping's Global Governance Initiative is practicing multilateralism. As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary, the multilateral global governance system is nevertheless faced with deepening challenges. The UN finds itself increasingly unable to play a decisive role in ending international conflicts. The current US tariff policy has disrupted decades of broad consensus on international trade rules. Foreign aid to the world's poorest countries is shrinking, and there is no increased global momentum on tackling the looming climate crisis.What can be done to protect the multilateral system? Host Ding Heng is joined by Ramesh Thakur, a former UN assistant secretary-general and Emeritus Professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University; George Tzogopoulos, Senior Research Fellow of CIFE, a France-based European research organization; Professor Qu Qiang, Fellow of Belt and Road Research Center at Minzu University of China.

It sounds like a dystopian sci-fi movie: Russian ruler and Chinese Communist dictator plan to harvest organs from healthy citizens to prolong the lives of political insiders. Combined with the fact that approximately one million innocent Chinese have had organs stolen by the communist government for profit, this "hot mic" revelation is closer to fact than fantasy. Dr. Jessica Russo explains with Rick Jensen

In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Jon Czin, the Michael H. Armacost Chair in Foreign Policy Studies and a fellow with the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution. Jon is a former member of the Senior Analytic Service at CIA, where he was one of the intelligence community's top China experts, and he also served as Director for China at the White House National Security Council. Jon and Henrietta discuss his recent China Leadership Monitor article “Plotting the Course to Xi's Fourth Term: Preparations, Predictions, and Possibilities.” The conversation dives into who President Xi actually trusts, what to expect from Xi's fourth term, his succession dilemma, and what it all means for the U.S.-China relationship.

In a moment that stunned the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping were recently caught on a hot mic talking about increasing longevity and even achieving immortality through repeated organ transplants.For the last two decades, we've been reporting how the CCP kills prisoners of conscience, the main body of them being Falun Gong practitioners, for their organs.Joining me today to unpack the significance of this moment and what it teaches us about the inner workings of the CCP is Epoch Times senior investigative journalist Joshua Philipp, host of EpochTV's “Crossroads.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

At a recent ceremony for world leaders in Beijing, a hot mic picked up a surprising exchange between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping about the possibility of living to 150. Putin suggested the secret might lie in repeated organ transplants. But is this the new frontier of anti-ageing research or a fringe and unproven theory? To find out, science editor Ian Sample speaks to Russian affairs reporter Pjotr Sauer and to John S Tregoning, professor of vaccine immunology at Imperial College London and author of Live Forever: A Curious Scientist's Guide to Wellness, Ageing and Death.

The Daily Beast's unmissable columnist David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to dive into what he calls one of Donald Trump's most chaotic weeks yet. The 79-year-old president has been jeered at by protesters across a dining table, faced mounting health concerns, dealt with the assassination of his acolyte, Charlie Kirk, while abroad, his foreign policy has stumbled. Rothkopf, CEO of TRG Media and a foreign policy expert, argues Trump looks increasingly fragile, physically and politically, as allies squirm with embarrassment and rivals like Putin and Xi Jinping test his weakness. Coles and Rothkopf examine America's rising tide of political violence, driven by alienated young men and a culture awash in guns, and note Utah Governor Spencer Cox's surprising emergence as a voice of civility. With Trump leaning on inept advisers, losing grip on his narrative, and facing international mistrust, Rothkopf asks whether we are witnessing not just the decline of a president, but the slow unraveling of Trumpism itself.

“We are Christians. [Persecution] can happen any time.” As the pastor of an illegal house church in China, “Brother Enfu” knows the truth of that statement. Listen as he shares why and how he prepares his wife and children for the day he may eventually be arrested and sent to prison. He will give an update on Christian persecution in China and how believers there are responding faithfully despite increasing government pressure. Enfu will explain how a new law prohibits foreigners in China from talking about their faith—even in private settings. He'll also share how the CCP's persecution strategy has changed, charging pastors and other church leaders with “fraud” or other financial crimes rather than using overtly religious criminal charges. “Christianity is the narrow way, and the government is warning people about it,” Enfu says. Instead of large church events, the gospel is spreading through one-on-one conversations with co-workers or neighbors as Christians share what Jesus has done in their lives. Brother Enfu encourages pastors and church leaders he trains to stay in China and serve Christians there, rather than leaving China for a more comfortable position in the West. He says that when he hears of a brother or sister imprisoned for their faith, it's an encouragement to him, even as he acknowledges the suffering they are enduring. Pastor Wang Yi is one of those Chinese pastors who stayed in China and stood firm in his faith. He is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence. Pray Chinese believers will be faithful in their daily life and ministry and pray for government leaders, including President Xi Jinping, to find and follow Christ.
