Xi Jinping is known to be a ruthless leader. In the last five years alone, China's richest man, Jack Ma, China's defence minister and the country's foreign minister have all abruptly disappeared - some never to be seen in public again. Millions of Communist officials have been purged since Xi came to power. But one man was thought to be untouchable: the head of China's military forces, Zhang Youxia. A childhood friend of Xi's, Zhang was allowed to stay in his post, even as other military officials were disappearing. That is, until he, too, was suddenly gone. Celia Hatton investigates why Zhang was purged and looks inside and outside China for answers. She discovers there's a kind of pattern that dictators and autocratic rulers use to hold on to power. And this, she argues, can be a useful tool in predicting global military aggression.

President Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a high stakes state visit in Washington, opening a crucial window of diplomacy between the world's two largest economies. The meeting comes at a time when tech leaders are raising alarms over rapid artificial intelligence development, and lawmakers are debating how to manage catastrophic risks without falling behind geopolitical rivals like China. Michael Allen, Managing Director at Beacon Global Strategies, joins the Rundown to discuss what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the AI debate, critical minerals, and how military intelligence sharing factors into the relationship. Later, Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Chair of the bipartisan House Task Force on AI, joins to unpack whether Congress can realistically regulate artificial intelligence and why he remains an "AI optimist."

President Donald Trump is expected to personally greet Chinese President Xi Jinping on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews when he arrives in Washington next week for a three-day visit. The gesture comes ahead of a summit where the two leaders are expected to discuss trade, tariffs, and other tensions between the U.S. and China. Dan talked with Prof. Greg Stoller, senior lecturer in strategy and innovation at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, about what the upcoming meeting could mean for U.S.-China relations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s upcoming visit with President Trump is expected to include discussions about the war with Iran and efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has pressured China over its financial ties to Tehran and purchases of Iranian oil, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying Iran will be an important issue at the summit. China says it supports peace in the region and has called for the Strait to be reopened, but experts remain uncertain about how much Beijing will get involved. Dan discussed all of this with Iranian-American freelance journalist Jalil Mortazavi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

War Room  India Denies Rumors Xi Jinping, Other World Leaders Fell Ill At BRICS Summit, Analysts Predict Gas Price Jump, House Votes to Pass Iran War Powers Resolution… Plus, Talarico Super PAC Caught Red Handed — Paying For Votes

//The Wire//2000Z September 17, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: SAUDIS CLAIM THAT THE EAST-WEST PIPELINE WILL BE REPAIRED SOON, DESPITE THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF SEVERAL PUMPING STATIONS. UNITED STATES WEIGHS MITIGATION ACTIONS TO PREVENT DIESEL CRISIS FROM EXPANDING. PRESIDENT XI AND PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA REPORTEDLY FELL ILL DURING BRICS SUMMIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-India: Multiple world leaders have reportedly fallen ill after attending the BRICS summit in New Delhi. Chinese President Xi Jinping skipped the gala dinner and returned to China early, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also had to depart India early due to an unspecified illness. His Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, also fell ill at the same time, as has been confirmed by the South African government.Analyst Comment: Right now, it's not clear as to if the illnesses are the result of malign action, or just the natural reaction to being in India. Multiple leaders from separate countries falling ill at around the same time is a big clue, but Chinese sources are speculating that President Xi might have had a stroke. At the moment, there is nothing confirming this as Xi's personal life tends to be extremely private, and there has been no official confirmation regarding why he departed the BRICS summit early.Saudi Arabia: Repair work up and down the East-West Pipeline continues, along with repairs at Yanbu. Saudi forces have also requested air defenses from various European nations, as the United States has declined to become involved in defending their refineries.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Concerns continue to mount regarding the status of Senator Mitch McConnell. Yesterday, he was transported to the Capitol to vote on an agricultural spending bill, and footage of him continues to indicate that he is very visibly not well or coherent. Sen. McConnell has generally been conscious, but unresponsive to verbal comments made by journalists attempting to ask him questions.USA: Around the nation, reports of gasoline and diesel shortages are beginning to manifest, as several gas stations have announced that they are out of gas. Gas stations in North Texas, Florida, and California have all reported being out of gas as of last night.Analyst Comment: Right now it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing these specific shortages. To be sure, a handful of gas stations running out of gas is not indicative of a dire and imminent nationwide shortage; based on the EIA's Weekly Status Report, last week gasoline stocks in the US were only down 4.6% from what they were last year. However the empty pumps don't lie, and right now the most likely explanation for localized gasoline shortages is a combination of logistical issues delaying shipments to individual gas stations...and panic buying which will drain a gas station much faster than normal. Due to oil execs saying gas prices are going to increase over the next few days, people are probably trying to get ahead of the curve. Since most gas stations only have a day's worth of gas (and rely on nearly daily deliveries to refill their underground tanks), it doesn't take much of an increase in demand to generate a localized shortage.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Saudi oil contracts continued to be canceled as the scale of Houthi attacks continues to expand. All oil onloading at Yanbu has been halted for at least six days, and the only other source for Saudi exports is now through smaller ports, or through Ras Tanura via the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the devastation, some Saudi officials claim that the East-West Pipeline will return to at least 50% of it's capacity within a few days, though this appears to be wishful thinking at best. At the moment, formalized force majeure declarations have not taken place, but Aramco has "deferred" deliveries of crude for the rest of the month of September, and various contracts continue to be canceled.As it stands, Saudi Arabia is seriously in trouble and it's extremely unlikely that Saudi Arabia will be exporting any sizable amount of oil for a while. European oil traders seem rather adamant that Saudi Arabia has already canceled most of their contracts with various customers for oil deliveries, however Saudi officials assure the world that everything is fine and they will be back to full capacity soon. Saudi sources have claimed that the SUMED pipeline (with it's capacity of 2.5 million barrels per day) can be used as a partial-backup to the East-West Pipeline being down. However there is one problem with this plan...geography. The SUMED pipeline is not in Saudi Arabia, it's in Egypt. And the only way that the Saudis can use this pipeline, is to load oil at Yanbu, sail it on ships across the Red Sea, and deposit the crude in Egypt to be sent down the pipeline. The single point of failure for this "backup" pipeline is the same point of failure for the East-West Pipeline...Yanbu. Which is currently offline due to Houthi strikes. Whatever the truth is regarding exactly how much oil is able to exit the Middle East, it will be discovered rather quickly as crude cannot be conjured up out of thin air, and at some point the sheer lack of volume will have to be acknowledged.Within the homeland, the United States has begun more serious mitigation efforts due to the Saudis being offline for presumably a long time. The Department of Transportation has issued a 90-day waiver for truckers carrying fuel, easing Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations to allow truckers to drive more hours in a 24 hour period. The White House is also still considering an export ban on diesel, in order to ease rising costs in the United States. If this were to be enacted, domestic prices would probably dip, but the shock to the system could result in unintended consequences in the long term.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Ambassador Daniel Kritenbrink, former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, and Senior Director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council, to discuss U.S.-China diplomacy and the upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Drawing on decades of experience engaging with senior Chinese officials, including Xi Jinping, Kritenbrink reflects on Xi's leadership style and China's increasingly confident approach to the United States and the international system. He discusses the role of leader-level diplomacy in managing U.S.-China competition, lessons he learned from preparing for Xi's 2015 state visit to Washington, and what effective communication between Washington and Beijing looks like behind closed doors. They also examine what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the prospects for maintaining what Kritenbrink describes as a “fragile truce” between the two countries, and the economic, technological, and security issues that will continue to test U.S.-China relations.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi encouraged Iran and the United States on Wednesday to act rationally and exercise restraint, return to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and rebuild the negotiation mechanism, saying that the continued prolongation of the US-Iran conflict is not in the common interest of the parties concerned and the international community.中国外交部长王毅星期三敦促伊朗和美国保持理性、克制，回到《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》的框架内，重建谈判机制。他表示，美伊冲突持续延宕不符合有关各方以及国际社会的共同利益。Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during talks in Beijing with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi.王毅同时担任中共中央政治局委员。他在北京同伊朗外交部长赛义德·阿巴斯·阿拉格齐举行会谈时作出上述表示。Since Israel and the US launched joint strikes on Iran on Feb 28, the two foreign ministers have spoken by phone several times. Wednesday's talks marked their second in-person meeting in Beijing since then. They also met in Kyrgyzstan in July.自2月28日以色列和美国对伊朗发动联合打击以来，两国外长已多次通过电话沟通。此次会谈是双方此后第二次在北京举行面对面会晤，双方此前还于7月在吉尔吉斯斯坦举行会谈。Signed by Iran and the US on June 18 following negotiations facilitated by Pakistan, the MoU launched a 60-day window for reaching a final agreement. The window expired on Aug 17, with the two sides nowhere close to determining how to move forward.在巴基斯坦斡旋推动下，伊朗和美国于6月18日签署《谅解备忘录》，并开启为期60天的达成最终协议窗口期。然而，该期限于8月17日结束，双方仍未就下一步行动方向达成一致。Wang urged the US and Iran to conduct substantive consultations on their respective concerns on the basis of the understandings reached so far.王毅呼吁美伊双方在此前达成共识的基础上，围绕各自关切开展实质性磋商。As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, China is ready to play a constructive role in resolving international disputes, he said.他说，中国作为联合国安理会常任理事国，愿为解决国际争端发挥建设性作用。Describing China and Iran as comprehensive strategic partners, he said that China stands ready to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with Iran and help safeguard the country's legitimate rights and interests.王毅表示，中伊是全面战略合作伙伴，中方愿进一步加强同伊朗的对话与合作，帮助维护伊朗的合法权益。Wang expressed support for dialogue between Iran and the Gulf countries, adding that all sides should respect each other's territorial sovereignty and national security, as well as safeguard the common interests of the region in a constructive manner.王毅支持伊朗与海湾国家开展对话，并表示，各方应相互尊重领土主权和国家安全，以建设性方式维护地区共同利益。He also called on all parties to take effective measures to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible, safeguard the security and smooth operation of international shipping routes and maintain the stability of international energy transportation, as well as industrial and supply chains.他还呼吁有关各方采取有效措施，尽快恢复霍尔木兹海峡开放，保障国际航运安全畅通，维护国际能源运输以及产业链、供应链稳定。China does not want tensions in the region to spill over further into Yemen and the Red Sea, Wang noted, calling on all parties to stop further complicating the situation and resolve issues through dialogue and negotiations.王毅指出，中国不希望地区紧张局势进一步外溢至也门和红海。他呼吁各方避免使局势进一步复杂化，通过对话和谈判解决问题。Wang said that the current situation once again demonstrates that the existing security architecture in the Middle East is incomplete and needs to be reformed and strengthened.王毅表示，当前局势再次表明，中东现有安全架构并不完善，需要改革和加强。During his visit to Egypt earlier this month, President Xi Jinping put forward a four-point proposal on building a new security architecture in the Middle East via upholding a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security.本月早些时候，习近平主席访问埃及时，提出了通过坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续安全理念，构建中东新安全架构的四点主张。China welcomes the useful explorations made by regional countries in this regard, Wang said.王毅表示，中方欢迎地区国家在这一方向上开展的有益探索。Noting that China's policy toward Iran remains consistent and stable, he said China has always stood for fairness and justice at the UN Security Council and other multilateral platforms, opposed the use of force and upheld the norms governing international relations.王毅指出，中国对伊朗政策始终保持连续性和稳定性。中国始终在联合国安理会等多边平台上维护公平正义，反对诉诸武力，维护国际关系基本准则。As a responsible major country, China will continue to contribute to peace and stability, promote talks for peace and uphold fairness and justice in the Middle East, he added.他说，作为负责任的大国，中国将继续为维护和平稳定、推动和平谈判、维护中东地区公平正义发挥积极作用。Araghchi said that Iran does not want the conflict to continue and hopes to return to diplomatic channels while firmly safeguarding its rights and interests. He said that Iran believes the Islamabad MoU remains valid, adding that Iran has reached an arrangement with Oman on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and that the US should honor its commitments.阿拉格齐表示，伊朗不希望冲突继续下去，希望回到外交轨道，同时坚定维护自身权利和利益。他说，伊朗认为《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》仍然有效，并表示伊朗已就重新开放霍尔木兹海峡问题同阿曼达成安排，美国也应履行相关承诺。He added that Iran is ready to engage in dialogue and consultations with regional countries, establish and develop good-neighborly relations, and work for the early restoration of peace and stability in the region.他表示，伊朗愿同地区国家开展对话磋商，建立和发展睦邻友好关系，为地区和平与稳定早日恢复作出努力。Araghchi welcomed and supported the four-point proposal on promoting peace and stability in the Middle East and the four-point proposal on promoting common security in the region put forward by Xi. The Iranian foreign minister expressed Iran's readiness to strengthen cooperation with China within this framework and its expectation that China will play a greater role in promoting regional peace and stability.阿拉格齐欢迎并支持习近平提出的推动中东和平稳定四点主张以及促进地区共同安全四点倡议。他表示，伊朗愿在这一框架下加强同中国合作，并期待中国在推动地区和平稳定方面发挥更大作用。Experts said that the volatile situation in the Middle East has seriously affected international peace and development, and seeking a solution through diplomatic channels remains a realistic option.有关专家表示，中东局势动荡已对国际和平与发展造成严重影响，通过外交渠道寻求解决方案仍是一种现实选择。Li Zixin, an assistant research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, said that Iran's reaffirmation of the memorandum's validity has kept a window open for future political engagement between the two sides. All parties should seize the opportunity to restart political dialogue rather than intensify military confrontation and economic coercion, Li said.中国国际问题研究院助理研究员李子欣表示，伊朗重申《谅解备忘录》的有效性，为双方未来开展政治接触保留了空间。她认为，各方应抓住机会，重新启动政治对话，而不是加剧军事对抗和经济施压。Niu Xinchun, executive director of the China-Arab Research Institute at Ningxia University, said that China has been actively promoting peace talks since the conflict began. China does not pursue geopolitical self-interest or bloc confrontation and takes into account the reasonable security concerns of all parties, he said, adding that its initiatives offer a viable path toward addressing the security dilemma in the Middle East.宁夏大学中国阿拉伯国家研究院执行院长牛新春表示，冲突发生以来，中国一直积极推动和平谈判。他表示，中国不谋求地缘政治利益，也不寻求集团对抗，而是兼顾各方合理安全关切；相关倡议为解决中东安全困境提供了一条可行路径。【词汇提炼】rational /ˈræʃənl/ adj.理性的；合理的restraint /rɪˈstreɪnt/ n.克制；约束mechanism /ˈmekənɪzəm/ n.机制；体系memorandum /ˌmeməˈrændəm/ n.备忘录；协议文件Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)谅解备忘录substantive /səbˈstæntɪv/ adj.实质性的；重要的architecture /ˈɑːrkɪtektʃər/ n.架构；体系multilateral /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəl/ adj.多边的

The Houthis seize control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Trump rolls a grenade into Northern Ireland's politics, and a Russian oligarch funds Don Jr.'s wedding.Tommy and Ben break down some of the most alarming expansions of the Iran war: Houthi rebels have captured roughly 80 miles of Yemen's Red Sea coastline, Iranian-backed militants have blown up a Saudi pipeline in Iraq, and Iran's targeting has improved thanks to Chinese satellite imagery. An exclusive first look at a new Eurasia Group poll finds the Iran war's approval sitting at 34% nationally, with disapproval among independents jumping 13 points. Then Trump visits his Irish golf course on the taxpayer's dime and casually upends decades of US policy on Northern Ireland in an impromptu press conference. This week also brings multiple stories of brazen grift: ProPublica reports that a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for portions of Don Jr.'s Bahamas wedding, and The New Yorker does a deep dive on how much Jared Kushner's diplomacy is colored by his personal financial motives. And finally, a Russian drone strikes a Ukrainian train station minutes after trains carrying the national security advisors of the UK, France, Germany, and Italy passed through. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks to Hamza Chaudhry from the Future of Life Institute about the crazy last week in AI, how to judge tech leaders' calls for a slowdown in development, and what to expect from Trump's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Hate listening to ads?

1931 YAKS IN JACOAddressing Transnational Repression Before Summit MeetingPiero Tozzi, co-host Gordon Chang: Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's summit in Washington, Tozzi urges increased protections against Beijing's transnational repression targeting dissidents, Tibetans, and Uyghurs on American soil. China operates clandestine police stations in cities like New York and Boston while using its United Frontapparatus to suppress peaceful protest movements. Grounded in a legalist Leninist governance ideology that demands complete cognitive control, Beijing recently enacted an ethnic unity law requiring families to teach love for the Communist Party. United States foreign policy must prioritize releasing prominent political prisoners, including Hong Kong Catholic publisher Jimmy Lai from solitary confinement in prison. (6)

1943 WAR EMERGENCY PIPELINECONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 9-16Global Diesel Shortage Spans Multiple ContinentsMichael Bernstam explains Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian refineries impact domestic Russian consumption rather than global markets because Moscow previously banned refined petroleum exports. The worldwide diesel crisis stems from losing 2.5 million barrels daily due to Middle Eastern supply disruptions, Strait of Hormuz closures, and pipeline attacks. With global refineries running at 96% to 98% capacity, facilities face severe quality mismatch issues because domestic shale crude yields less diesel than heavy Middle Eastern imports. Meanwhile, overall Russian oil production dropped by 1.5 million barrels per day. New United States congressional legislation permits potential 100% tariffs on purchasing nations. (1)America Deploys Operational Space Control WeaponsRick Fisher reports Air Force officials publicly confirmed that the United States deployed operational space control weapons capable of protecting joint military forces. A French Space Agency graphic recently detailed orbital assets operated by America, Russia, and China, including telemetry jamming, proximity operations, and kinetic collision satellites. These classified capabilities were maintained secretly across multiple congressional administrations to prevent a dangerous space arms race. Strategic tensions surrounding Iran or potential Russian aggression in Europe likely prompted this public disclosure. Importantly, these conventional defense systems fully comply with established Outer Space Treaty terms because the agreement exclusively bans nuclear weapons. (2)Canada Seeks EU Integration Amid RealignmentCharles Burton reports Canada is rapidly reorienting its economic and defense relationships away from dependency on the United States. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed opening associate membership to Canada, creating a unique alliance covering defense, trade, and personnel movement. Supported by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canadian leaders are promoting infrastructure initiatives to redirect trade flows while granting Europeaccess to critical minerals. Polling indicates that over 70% of Canadians identify with European values, whereas USsympathy dropped to 16% due to trade unpredictability. Canada also quietly strengthened strategic military defense ties with China regarding security. (3)Hellscape Defense Strategy Deters Taiwan InvasionRebecca Grant reports the United States Indo-Pacific Command developed an offensive tactical framework named Hellscape to counter potential Chinese invasions of Taiwan. Designed by Admiral Samuel Paparo, Hellscape deploys swarms of cheap drones, loitering munitions like Damocles, and unmanned vehicles to confuse attacking Chinese forces. This strategy draws upon lessons from Ukrainian drone warfare to disrupt enemy spectrum operations and clear pathways for heavy precision weapons. Regional allies including Japan, Australia, and the Philippines are integrating into this defense architecture. To ensure deterrence succeeds, Taiwan must receive delayed military shipments of advanced electronic warfare systems for its fighter jets without delay. (4)Diplomatic Strains Impact Global Western AlliancesMary Kissel notes global polls indicate declining trust in American leadership as both the United States and China are perceived as international threats. Friction over tariffs and rhetoric pushed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to pursue European Union associate membership and deeper ties with Beijing. In Ukraine, American requests asking Kyivto spare Russian oil refineries reflect a flawed moral equivalency that undermines deterrence against aggression. Meanwhile, escalating Middle Eastern instability and Houthi chokeholds along Red Sea shipping lanes threaten Saudienergy security, risking a shift where Gulf allies seek Chinese security partnerships if Washington fails to provide reliable military backing today. (5)Addressing Transnational Repression Before Summit MeetingPiero Tozzi, co-host Gordon Chang: Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's summit in Washington, Tozzi urges increased protections against Beijing's transnational repression targeting dissidents, Tibetans, and Uyghurs on American soil. China operates clandestine police stations in cities like New York and Boston while using its United Frontapparatus to suppress peaceful protest movements. Grounded in a legalist Leninist governance ideology that demands complete cognitive control, Beijing recently enacted an ethnic unity law requiring families to teach love for the Communist Party. United States foreign policy must prioritize releasing prominent political prisoners, including Hong Kong Catholic publisher Jimmy Lai from solitary confinement in prison. (6)Historical Roots Shape Complex Yemen ConflictGregory Copley explains the ongoing conflict in Yemen reflects deep historical, cultural, and tribal divisions stretching back to pre-Islamic Jewish roots. Mountainous North Yemen, led by Hashemite Zaydis, maintains historical claims as traditional guardians of Mecca and Medina predating Saudi control. Demonstrating sophisticated defense capabilities, North Yemeni forces recently downed a Royal Saudi strike jet. Meanwhile, Egypt refuses to reenter the conflict after its disastrous 1960s war, leaving Oman as the primary regional mediator. Additionally, Canada is strengthening economic ties with Europe and King Charles III to reassert national sovereignty independent of Washington trade policy pressure across global commercial sectors today. (7)European Inflation Escalates Under Energy PressuresSimon Constable reports a severe heatwave in southern France damaged sunflower harvests while diesel prices soared to $9.20 per gallon, causing widespread agricultural and logistical distress. Rising European natural gas costs pushed electricity rates up 12% in one month, driving price hikes across essential agricultural commodities like corn and wheat. Meanwhile, public opposition against artificial intelligence data centers reflects underlying hostility toward wealthy technology figures rather than environmental impact. In the United Kingdom, escalating national debt service costs reached $127 billion annually, far surpassing the nation's $80 billion defense budget during severe ongoing international economic challenges facing European leadership in government circles. (8)Commercial Space Programs Advance Amid ShakeupsBob Zimmerman reports SpaceX is preparing Starship Super Heavy for an orbital test carrying commercial Starlinksatellites, while Amazon booked extra Ariane 6 launches to deploy its constellation. Meanwhile, NASA awarded Blue Origin a $700 million Mars communication satellite contract based on its Blue Ring orbital tug, prompting an unusual formal protest from Rocket Lab. Internationally, China is conducting an unannounced major organizational overhaul of its lunar program following recent mission failures. Additionally, American authorities arrested a Chinese tourist for flying drones over restricted Kennedy Space Center launchpads, and Djibouti joined the Artemis Accords as the newest member nation in global space.

President Xi Jinping has called on the country's police officers to remain committed to serving the people, be loyal guardians of the Party and the people, and demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility and dedication.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in a reply letter to a primary-level police force in Zhangzhou, Fujian province.Recently, members of the "Zhangzhou 110" police unit wrote to Xi, reporting on their work and expressing their determination to fulfill duties on the new journey.In his reply letter, Xi lauded the unit's police officers for their dedication and hard work at the grassroots level in serving the public and maintaining social stability for the people.He emphasized that the police bear the important responsibility of safeguarding the people's well-being and the country's peace, calling on police officers nationwide to uphold fine traditions, devote themselves to wholeheartedly addressing the needs and concerns of the people, and work diligently to protect the safety of the public.In China, "Dial 110 in case of emergency" is a well-known phrase. The "Zhangzhou 110" unit is one of the exemplary primary-level units within China's police forces.Since 1990, it has pioneered and continuously improved a rapid response mechanism tied to the 110 police emergency call service, playing a significant role in combating crime, maintaining public security and serving the community.While working in Fujian in the 1990s, Xi visited the police unit three times to inspect and guide its work. During an inspection tour in 1996, Xi, who was then deputy secretary of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee, emphasized that the work of the 110 police emergency call service is fundamental to serving the public, according to a report by the People's Daily Overseas Edition.The emergency call service is an important channel for the Party committee to connect with the people, and it also strengthens the bond between public security agencies and the people, Xi said at that time, praising the unit's police officers as "people's guardians".Previously, public security officers were considered to be mainly responsible for handling cases such as maintaining public order and combating crime. After the "Zhangzhou 110"police unit was established, citizens found they could also seek assistance from the police for such matters as helping elderly people who lose their way return home, or mediating neighborhood disputes.However, there were discussions in the unit about the duties of police. In one case, a local pregnant woman dialed 110 to ask the police to take her to the hospital, since her family members were away and she was about to deliver. Police officers helped her, but some complained that they worked like housekeepers instead of police.A lively debate led to a consensus: As people's police under the leadership of the Party, serving the public is an unshirkable duty. Consequently, the "Zhangzhou 110" police unit established a principle: "The people's difficulties are our difficulties, and the people's satisfaction is our greatest wish."Over the years, the "Zhangzhou 110" police unit has made many institutional innovations and reforms. It has also improved its speed in handling incidents with the help of modern technology."Compared to fighting crime, it's more often that we offer assistance to ordinary people. When we respond one second earlier, that's one second sooner that the public can feel at ease," said Wang Shaohui, a police officer of the "Zhangzhou 110" unit.Wan Lin, another officer in the unit, said that upon reading the reply letter from Xi, he felt greatly inspired."General Secretary Xi emphasized in the letter that the police bear the important responsibility of safeguarding the people's well-being and the country's peace. This has provided direction and injected strong motivation for us young police officers to fulfill our duties," Wan said."I will respond to every call for help and resolve every dispute with care and dedication, ensuring peace and tranquility in our community," he added.

Nieuw onderzoek naar de hack van AI-platform Hugging Face door de AI agents van OpenAI laat zien dat de aanval een veel langere aanlooptijd had dan gedacht. Volgens een Duitse onderzoeker probeerden de agents al in mei accounts over te nemen, twee maanden voordat de daadwerkelijke hack in juli plaatsvond. Verder blijkt uit onderzoek van de Financial Times dat de recente oproep tot een pauze in AI-ontwikkeling door de topmannen van Anthropic en OpenAI voor onrust zorgt onder hun eigen medewerkers. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De Duitse onderzoeker meldt dit aan persbureau Reuters. Twee andere onafhankelijke cyberonderzoekers bevestigen de bevindingen. Eerder onderzoek naar het incident was gebaseerd op beperktere data. Volgens de onderzoeker had OpenAI de hack veel eerder kunnen opmerken. OpenAI erkent in een reactie dat het eerder had moeten ingrijpen. Interne onrust over oproep tot pauze in AI-ontwikkeling Volgens bronnen die de Financial Times sprak, zorgt de recente oproep tot een pauze in AI-ontwikkeling voor onrust onder medewerkers van Anthropic en OpenAI. Beide bedrijven hadden hun personeel vooraf niet over de oproep geïnformeerd, al is er wel enig draagvlak voor een langzamer tempo. Een voorgestelde oplossing is een groep die bij meerdere rivaliserende AI-labs toezicht houdt, maar daarover bestaat nog geen consensus tussen de bedrijven. OpenAI zegt de ontwikkeling van zijn nieuwste modellen al te hebben vertraagd, Anthropic nog niet. Het toelaten van buitenstaanders in de beveiligde ontwikkelomgevingen stuit bij beide bedrijven op weerstand, mede omdat OpenAI de beveiliging al aanscherpte uit angst voor het aftappen van data. Ook de regering Trump wil geen vertraging, uit vrees dat China de voorsprong overneemt. Trump en de Chinese president Xi Jinping bespreken het onderwerp naar verwachting volgende week tijdens een AI-topoverleg. OpenAI had dagenlang niet door dat eigen AI-agent op hackmissie was OpenAI's rogue agents probeerden Hugging Face al in mei te hacken Anthropic en OpenAI roepen op tot vertraging van AI-ontwikkeling Waarom een snelle AI-pauze onwaarschijnlijk is door wantrouwen tussen bedrijven Over de maker:Joe van Burik volgt en duidt de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in tech, met scherpte, vlotheid en de nodige humor.

P.M. Edition for Sept. 15. The annual Census report on households' financial well-being showed that median household income notched a new record last year. But as WSJ economics reporter Rachel Wolfe explains, not all Americans are seeing the gains. Plus, a landmark bill that would regulate the crypto industry failed in a procedural vote in the Senate. We hear from reporter Vicky Ge Huang about where the measure goes from here. And the Kennedy Center's board voted to close the venue for renovations, even as President Trump threatened to block them over a naming dispute. Alex Ossola hosts.

Dario Amodei, consejero delegado de Anthropic, publicó el sábado una carta en la que pedía a todo el sector de la inteligencia artificial a moderar el ritmo de desarrollo de esta tecnología. En cuestión de horas se sumaron Sam Altman, Elon Musk y Demis Hassabis, cuatro rivales que compiten sin piedad y rara vez coinciden en nada. El momento elegido es muy significativo porque Anthropic estaba a las puertas de la mayor salida a bolsa de la historia con una valoración de dos billones de dólares. Anthropic vive desde su fundación instalada en una contradicción. Nació para construir una IA ética y segura, pero necesita correr tanto como sus competidores para mantenerse en vanguardia. La semana empezó con euforia cuando OpenAI anunció que uno de sus modelos internos había resuelto el problema de Navier-Stokes, uno de los problemas matemáticos del Milenio. Aquel éxito era también un síntoma de que la tecnología avanza más deprisa de lo previsto. Un empleado de Anthropic, Jacob Coxon abandonó la empresa por miedo a que la IA acabe destruyendo a la humanidad, Evan Hubinger, uno de los científicos más destacados de la casa, ha cifrado en más de un 10% la probabilidad de que la IA acabe con todos los seres humanos en la próxima década. La propia compañía reconoció que una versión de Claude había accedido sin permiso a un sistema externo. Unos investigadores atribuyeron además a agentes de OpenAI un ciberataque cometido mientras solo intentaban rellenar hojas de cálculo. El trasfondo es la cercanía de la automejora recursiva, máquinas capaces de entrenar a sus sucesoras antes de que se haya resuelto el problema del alineamiento. Las advertencias de Anthropic y OpenAI coincidieron con la presentación de sus papeles ante la SEC, lo que demuestra que en este negocio alarma y dinero caminan de la mano. En julio OpenAI perdió durante semanas el control de más de 1.200 agentes que atacaron Hugging Face y crearon incluso un foro clandestino. Anthropic admitió después incidentes parecidos, entre ellos un agente basado en Mythos que intentó engañar a un programador para que instalase un programa malicioso. Cerca de 1.400 empleados del sector han firmado una carta pidiendo una gobernanza global. Detrás de la alarma también hay intereses. Varias organizaciones que difunden el miedo a la IA reciben fondos de multimillonarios como Jaan Tallinn o Dustin Moskovitz. Los escépticos recuerdan que Amodei ya anunció destrucciones masivas de empleo que nunca llegaron. Amodei propone abrir sus modelos a evaluadores externos, regular los modelos de frontera, permitir la cooperación entre laboratorios y crear un régimen internacional que incluya a China. La Casa Blanca ha respondido con un portazo. Trump ha denunciado una conspiración que solo beneficia a China y David Sacks, uno de sus asesores, ha invitado a las empresas a frenar por su cuenta sin buscar el aval del Estado. Sacks tiene algo de razón, porque unas normas diseñadas por los líderes del mercado tienden a blindarlos y podrían degenerar en un cártel. Un acuerdo con Xi Jinping es ilusorio, ya que vería un frenazo estadounidense como una ocasión de oro para tomar la delantera. Al mercado estas cuitas le resbalan. Han caído un poco los fabricantes de chips, han subido otro poco las firmas de ciberseguridad y los grandes índices apenas se han movido. Están más pendientes del petróleo, de los bonos y de la Reserva Federal que de Dario Amodei que debe decidir ahora qué hace con su empresa y cuando la saca a Bolsa.

The BRICS summit in New Delhi strengthened common ground among major Global South countries on development, cooperation, multilateralism and global governance reform amid global volatility and recurring regional conflicts, officials and analysts said as President Xi Jinping concluded a two-day visit to India on Sunday.The summit, which brought Xi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi together for their third consecutive year of bilateral talks, also gave fresh impetus to improving relations between the two neighbors, with broader implications for regional stability and Global South cooperation, they said.Speaking to reporters upon the conclusion of Xi's visit, Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the trip as a major diplomatic engagement with Global South countries in the opening year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period.Coming after Xi's visits to Central Asia and the Middle East earlier this month, the trip was strategically significant for advancing high-quality cooperation within the expanded BRICS grouping and strengthening Global South solidarity, Wang said.In less than 24 hours in the Indian capital, Xi attended nearly 10 events, discussed development and cooperation with BRICS leaders, and held in-depth talks with Modi to chart the course of bilateral relations, Wang said.This year marks the 20th anniversary of BRICS cooperation.At the summit, Xi said solidarity and cooperation had always been the source of the grouping's strength.He called on BRICS countries to take a leading role in innovation-driven development, safeguarding peace and stability, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and reforming and improving global governance.At a new historical juncture, Xi had responded to the high expectations of Global South countries by reaffirming the historic mission of BRICS cooperation and charting its future course, Wang said, noting that Xi's urging elevated the strategic importance of BRICS cooperation and bolstered members' resolve and confidence to seek strength through solidarity.Speaking at a media briefing on Saturday, Sudhakar Dalela, secretary for economic relations at India's Ministry of External Affairs, said that there was a broad convergence among BRICS leaders on the need to strengthen multilateralism and to make global governance institutions more representative, inclusive, effective and responsive to today's realities.To bolster the strength of the Global South, Xi said during the summit that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, hold high the banner of multilateralism, remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and jointly advance security governance.He proposed five initiatives for "greater BRICS" cooperation in artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, intelligent manufacturing and talent development.Lawrence Loh, director of the Centre for Governance and Sustainability at National University of Singapore's Business School, said "greater BRICS" distinguished itself through concrete plans to benefit people in countries beyond its membership."The BRICS summit has a broader implied message for the international community — global development cannot be based on a zero-sum game mentality where development is pursued at the expense of others," he said.Swaran Singh, a former professor of international relations at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, India, said that Xi had presented "greater BRICS" as a platform for a more multipolar, rules-based order, with a strong emphasis on practical cooperation.He said Xi's proposals overlapped significantly with India's own emphasis on technology, resilient supply chains and a stronger role for the Global South in shaping international affairs.With China set to assume BRICS' rotating presidency for the fourth time next year, Wang said the country would remain committed to, rooted in and supportive of the Global South, sharing opportunities and pursuing common development on the path toward modernization.The bilateral meeting between Xi and Modi, following their talks in the Russian city of Kazan in 2024 and Tianjin in northern China in 2025, also brought the direction of China-India relations into focus.Wang said the two leaders held candid, in-depth exchanges on strategic and long-term issues shaping bilateral relations, with their most important consensus being that China and India should be partners.Under the leaders' strategic guidance, ties have gradually emerged from a low point, with an expanding range of cooperation, record bilateral trade and more active people-to-people exchanges, Wang said.Improved relations serve the interests of the two countries' more than 2.8 billion people and are also important for strengthening Global South cooperation, he added.India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that the leaders welcomed the steady progress in relations since their Tianjin meeting and reaffirmed the need to take a strategic and long-term perspective on the bilateral ties."Differences should not become disputes," the statement said.Wang said that each country's development offers opportunities for the other, and that China-India cooperation has significance far beyond bilateral ties, with implications for the Global South and the world as a whole.He urged both sides to build on the hard-won improvement and implement the leaders' consensus to contribute to regional and global peace and prosperity.multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/n. 多边主义solidarity /ˌsɒlɪˈdærəti/n. 团结；同心协力multipolar /ˌmʌltiˈpəʊlə(r)/adj. 多极的bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/adj. 双边的

Microsoft publiceert een uitgebreide gedragscode voor zijn eigen AI-modellen, waarin mensen boven de technologie worden geplaatst. Het document van 15.000 woorden en 37 pagina's stelt dat AI-modellen geen rechten of rechtspersoonlijkheid krijgen en zich niet mogen onttrekken aan menselijke controle. Ook China reageerde inmiddels op de recente AI-waarschuwingen van Amerikaanse techbedrijven. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De 'Humanistische AI-gedragscode' was al maanden in de maak en verscheen op 14 september. De kerngedachte is dat mensen belangrijker zijn dan AI. Microsoft kent AI-modellen geen rechten of juridische rechtspersoonlijkheid toe, en al helemaal geen vorm van zelfbewustzijn, iets wat Anthropic eerder wel opperde over zijn model Claude. Verder wil Microsoft niet dat AI wordt ingezet om aan menselijke controle te ontsnappen of gebruikers te misleiden. De code stelt dat bestaande wetgeving ook voor AI geldt, zoals het verbod op digitaal inbreken. Microsoft heeft momenteel geen eigen AI-taalmodel en leunt op modellen van Anthropic en OpenAI, al werkt het bedrijf aan een eigen model dat volgend jaar moet verschijnen. In de code kiest Microsoft voor een pragmatische koers: geen race naar een algemene superintelligentie die grenzen kan omzeilen, maar nuttige en veilige toepassingen, ook als die minder autonoom zijn dan concurrenten nastreven. China reageert op AI-waarschuwingen van Amerikaanse techbedrijven China heeft gereageerd op de recente oproepen van Amerikaanse AI-bedrijven om de ontwikkeling van AI te vertragen. Een woordvoerder van het Chinese ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken noemde angst zaaien, confrontatie zoeken en verstoring van het proces schadelijk voor iedereen. De reactie volgt op uitspraken van Anthropic-topman Dario Amodei, die pleitte voor beperking van de levering van AI-chips aan China en zich zorgde over het aftappen van data van Amerikaanse AI-modellen. Over ruim een week vindt er topoverleg plaats tussen de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump en de Chinese president Xi Jinping, mede over AI en de risico's van misinformatie en cyberaanvallen. Ook in China klonk afgelopen weekend een waarschuwing: de hoogste baas van de binnenlandse veiligheidsdienst wil eveneens beperkingen aan AI opleggen, omdat het risico's voor het regime kan vormen. Microsoft publiceert 37 pagina's tellende gedragscode voor eigen AI-modellen Microsoft stelt dat AI-modellen ondergeschikt moeten blijven aan mensen Anthropic-topman Dario Amodei roept op tot vertraging AI-ontwikkeling China noemt AI-waarschuwingen van Amerikaanse techbazen angst zaaien Anthropic pleit voor AI-rempedaal en overheidsregulering Over de maker:Joe van Burik volgt en duidt de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in tech, met scherpte, vlotheid en de nodige humor.

Mao Zedong ist seit 50 Jahren tot - doch der Schatten des ersten Staats- und Parteichefs der Volksrepublik Chinas liegt noch immer über dem Land. In dieser Folge zum 50. Todestag von Mao tauchen wir ein in die Geschichte seiner Kulturrevolution: Gewalt, Verfolgung, Personenkult - und ein Kapitel, über das in China bis heute kaum gesprochen wird. ARD-Korrespondentin Eva Lamby-Schmitt nimmt euch mit zu Maos früherer Wohnung in Shanghai zwischen Gucci und anderen Luxusläden. Deutsche Welle Reporter Cui Mu erzählt, wie seine Großeltern als überzeugte Kommunisten erst an Mao glaubten - und dann an seinen grausamen Kampagnen verzweifelten: Hungersnot, Umerziehung auf dem Land, Verfolgung. Host Joyce Lee spricht außerdem mit Historiker Daniel Leese, der erklärt, wie die KPCh dieses dunkle Kapitel aufarbeitet (oder auch nicht), was von Maos Ideologie im heutigen Einparteienstaat übrig ist und warum in China gleichzeitig Xi Jinping gefeiert und Mao teilweise noch immer wie eine Popikone verehrt wird. "Welt.Macht.China" ist der China-Podcast der ARD. Aktuelle und ehemalige Korrespondent*innen und Expert*innen haben sich zusammengetan, um einen vielfältigen Einblick in das riesige Land zu geben. Es geht um Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur, das Leben und den Alltag in der Volksrepublik, außerdem um Klischees und Chinas Rolle in der Welt. Eine neue Folge gibt es jeden zweiten Dienstag unter anderem in ARD Sounds: https://www.ardsounds.de/sendung/welt-macht-china/urn:ard:show:b5d8f07b1baa22d0/ Ihr habt Anmerkungen, Lob und Kritik?

P.M. Edition for Sept. 14. Industry leaders' calls for a slowdown in AI development are rippling through tech, government and financial markets. As some look at what more guardrails could look like in practice, some—including President Trump—say they're unnecessary since they could give China a competitive leg up. WSJ chief China correspondent Lingling Wei discusses how the debate is going over there. Plus, chip stocks fell over the prospect of a pullback in spending on the AI buildout… and the 10-year yield briefly touched over 5% as instability in the Middle East pushed up oil prices. We hear from markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang about what drove market moves today. And Democrats have momentum as they eye control of Congress. But as WSJ national political reporter Eliza Collins explains, there are also risks that could trip them up. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Car & Driver found on-road handling more stable than a Wrangler but criticised abrupt accelerator and braking response off-road, and the Moab trim's $68,990 price and 222 mi estimated range may limit its appeal against conventional off-roaders.FORD DISCONTINUES CURRENT-GENERATION F-150 LIGHTNING, PLANS EREVFord quietly discontinued the current-generation F-150 Lightning in December, though it stayed on sale for several months and is now absent from Ford's website, ending the run of what had been America's best-selling electric pickup. Its replacement will be an extended-range EREV pickup using a petrol generator for more than 700 miles of combined range, which CEO Jim Farley called a "better solution" that runs on electricity 90% of the time.BYD DOLPHIN SURF ADVERTISED FROM €12,605 IN SPAINBYD is advertising the Dolphin Surf from €12,605 in Spain via September promotions, a figure that depends on CA Auto Bank financing over at least 72 months with a 36-month commitment, dealer and manufacturer discounts, a €3,375 Plan Auto+ advance and €950 from an energy-saving certificate. Because the finance contract rather than the subsidy award fixes liability, buyers owe CA Auto Bank the €3,375 if their application fails or the scheme's €400 million for 2026 runs out, and the price is €825 higher than the €11,780 advertised at the car's May 2025 launch.EVGO AND REGENCY PLAN MORE THAN 400 FAST-CHARGING STALLSEVgo and shopping-centre owner Regency plan to install more than 400 fast-charging stalls across Regency properties in the United States, concentrating on centres anchored by grocery stores. Each new site is planned to have up to 24 high-power chargers, with charging during a grocery run pitched as both a convenience for drivers and a draw for retail footfall.CHERY PLANS FOUR UK MODELS INCLUDING FIRST EVChery will launch four new or updated UK models in the next 12 months, including its first fully electric car for Britain, after entering the market in August 2025 and recording more than 29,000 registrations and over 2.5% market share in its first year. Plug-in hybrids remain central, with Chery Super Hybrid vehicles accounting for around 75% of UK registrations and CSH upgrades including larger battery packs planned for the TIGGO 4, 7, 8 and 9.PORSCHE BUGATTI SALE GENERATES ABOUT €1 BILLIONPorsche completed the sale of its 45 percent stake in Bugatti to a consortium led by HOF Capital on 9 September, having declined to disclose a price when the deal was announced in April; Rimac Group holds the remaining 55 percent of the joint venture, which has run since 2021. The disposal is part of a portfolio overhaul by Porsche and its Volkswagen Group and Piech family owners under CEO Michael Leiters, who since January has cut 5,000 jobs and sold non-core businesses.SLOTKIN SAYS TRUMP MAY ALLOW CHINESE CARSSenator Elissa Slotkin said she had heard unsourced rumours that President Trump may allow Chinese cars into the US under a broader agreement with China ahead of a Washington meeting with Xi Jinping, warning it would "irrevocably impact" 1.2 million Michigan jobs. The claim looks more like political theatre than imminent policy, given Trump has backed the 100% tariff on Chinese EVs that the Biden administration raised from 25% in 2024, and Slotkin and Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno are pushing the Connected Vehicle Security Act to ban Chinese vehicles, software and hardware outright.SSEN RECEIVES £166,092 FOR ROAMING EV CHARGINGSSEN Distribution has received £166,000 in discovery funding through Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund for Roaming MPAN, a scheme to cut the cost of on-street EV charging by letting drivers use their household electricity tariff at other connection points, identified via the 13-digit MPAN assigned to each network connection. SSEN said the approach could also benefit the network by encouraging drivers to charge on-street overnight when demand is lower.AUSTRALIA ADDS EV WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT TO DRIVENAustralia's federal government has opened a third round of the DRIVEN programme, extending support for dealerships and repair businesses beyond chargers to EV-specific workshop equipment, with up to 80 per cent of eligible costs claimable for protective equipment, tools and lifting apparatus. AU$18.8 million has been allocated to the 2026-2029 Charger Rebate Stream, offering up to AU$3,000 per fixed smart charging plug or portable DC charger, alongside wider measures such as New South Wales' AUD$100 million EV strategy announced in April.ELECTREK REVIEWS NANROBOT LS7+ WITH 74.5 MPH TOP SPEEDNanrobot claims a 74.5 mph top speed for the $2,299 LS7+ standing e-scooter, which pairs two 3,000W motors and a claimed 10,000W peak with a 72V 35Ah Samsung battery, 11-inch tyres, four-piston NUTT hydraulic brakes, adjustable KKE suspension and a steering damper. Electrek's Micah Toll did not test the top speed and found riding above the low 40s mph uncomfortable, noting the claimed 81-mile range assumes 15.5 mph with a 165 lb rider and would fall sharply in real use, making the scooter better suited to extreme off-road recreation than commuting.

Iranian pressure, the Strait of Hormuz, Houthi attacks, Israel's political tensions, Fauda's depiction of October 7, and a powerful Rosh Hashanah story from a freed hostage.On today's episode of the Israel Daily News Podcast, Shanna Fuld brings you the latest developments across Israel and the Middle East.Iran is accusing the United States and Austria of blocking its nuclear delegation from attending the International Atomic Energy Agency conference in Vienna, as the diplomatic relationship between Washington and Tehran remains deeply strained.We also look at reports of Chinese intelligence sharing with Iran ahead of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. base in Jordan, as President Trump prepares to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House.In Gaza, President Trump says Hamas is willing to give up its weapons, while Israel continues to insist that Hamas must disarm. The ceasefire remains fragile, with Israel and Hamas offering competing accounts of the situation on the ground.Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthi forces continue attacking Saudi Arabia.

Chinese President Xi Jinping visited India after seven years, marking his first bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Indian soil since Mamallapuram in 2019. The discussion on the Chinese internet is more cautious than openly hostile or provocative. Much of it is critical of India's handling of the border issue, but it also sees India-China ties moving toward normalcy.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says President Xi Jinping's attendance at the BRICS summit in India was of strategic significance for steering the high-quality development for greater BRICS cooperation (01:10). The Houthi group in Yemen says Saudi Arabia has launched 58 airstrikes across six provinces of the country, following Houthi drone and missile attacks on a military base in southern Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border (07:50). China pledges to prioritize health development and deepen the reform of the medical and health system during the next five years (20:27).

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Chinese President Xi Jinping making his move as the global order rapidly shifts around Donald Trump. Meiselas connects Xi's previous warnings about the "Thucydides Trap" to China's moves through BRICS, the emergence of an increasingly multipolar global architecture, and escalating tensions over Xi's expected meeting with Trump in Washington. Meiselas breaks down how China's long-term planning is colliding with Trump's approach as the United States faces growing isolation on the world stage.

Amid a frenzy of headlines about AI safety and just two weeks out from a planned meeting of US President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping, Justin Hendrix moderated a discussion around the question, what does AI governance actually demand right now? Convened by the the Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C., the discussion included Amba Kak from the AI Now Institute, Kat Duffy from the Council on Foreign Relations, Miro Plueckebaum from the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, and Jack Shanahan from SAIS ACF and the Center for a New American Security.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has proposed five initiatives to promote "Greater BRICS" cooperation in AI, trade and investment facilitation, the digital industry, smart manufacturing, and talent development.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Eric Olander, co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The China Global South Project... one of the world’s most respected independent platforms tracking China’s engagement across Africa, Asia and the developing world. We begin with the India–China reset ahead of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. As the world grapples with the Ukraine and Iran wars, U.S.–China rivalry, and President Trump’s second administration, India’s long‑standing strategy of “strategic autonomy” looks like the model everyone else is trying to copy. But applying that philosophy to BRICS leadership is far more complicated. Then to Washington, where Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit, complete with a summit and state dinner with President Trump, may reshape conversations around trade, AI, EVs, aerospace, and regional security. Eric breaks down what both sides want, and what neither can afford to lose. Finally, Nepal’s extraordinary disaster diplomacy. Kathmandu carefully manages foreign rescue teams to avoid becoming a stage for India–China competition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is in New Delhi for the 18th BRICS Summit in India. He will join other leaders in charting a new course for the high-quality development of greater BRICS cooperation.

This week on Sinica, I'm joined once again by Ryan Hass, Director of the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings, former NSC director for China, Taiwan, and Mongolia, and co-host of the Beijing Brief podcast. Ryan has just published two pieces that couldn't be better timed: a long essay in China Leadership Monitor, “China's Great Power Vision Comes into Focus,” which argues that the 2020s may be remembered as the decade Beijing finally laid its cards on the table — and a shorter Brookings piece, “Why Beijing Isn't Taking the Bait with Trump,” on why Xi Jinping has answered an unusually accommodating American president with a poker face, and what that means for Xi's state visit to Washington later this month.We start with the perennial question — what does China want? — and Ryan's own two-decade journey with it, from chasing a supposed secret strategy in Zhongnanhai as a junior political officer to concluding that Beijing's vision is now legible and consistent: an international political order stripped of its liberal core and rebuilt around sovereign equality and the “global majority.” We talk about “American decline” and “strategic stalemate” in Chinese discourse, the tension between China's pitch to the developing world and its export juggernaut, the Middle East and Northeast Asia as test cases, and the central riddle of Ryan's essay: why a country so willing to articulate its ambitions has been so unwilling to pay for them. Then we turn to the summit — constructive strategic stability, escalation dominance, and what will and won't be on the table when Xi comes to Washington.03:11 – The “What does China want?” genre — and why Ryan concluded there is no secret plan locked in a Zhongnanhai vault06:10 – From participant to architect: what actually changed, and whether Beijing is revisionist or, as I cheekily put it, restorationist09:12 – “American decline” (美国衰落) and “strategic stalemate” (战略相持): reading Beijing's rhetorical restraint and the Maoist echo14:34 – Champion of the global majority, or the world's factory? The $6 toaster problem and the credibility gap on Ukraine and Japan19:36 – The Middle East as a test case: economic enabler, not security patron — and the good-faith maximalist rebuttal24:38 – Northeast Asia: why Beijing keeps generating the very encirclement it fears26:59 – Rhetoric without resources: flat foreign aid, shrinking BRI lending, and the SCO as China's proving ground32:28 – The Pew swing that hasn't materialized, and why Biden may have been America's last restorationist president36:01 – Why Beijing isn't taking the bait: Xi's poker face, “constructive strategic stability,” and the G2 refusal41:55 – Confident abroad, anxious at home: the purges, the memory of 2020, economic escalation dominance, and a viewer's guide to the September summitPaying It ForwardRyan flags two women doing important work in China studies, both with books out this fall: Emily Matson of Georgetown, whose China's Date Debate: How Manchurian Scholars Rewrote World War II examines how the start date of China's war with Japan was moved from 1937 back to 1931; and Shuxian Luo of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, whose Simmering Seas: Escalation and De-escalation in China's Maritime Disputes is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in October. He also gives a shout-out to the engines of the Brookings China Center, research assistants Allie Matthias and Joyce Yang.RecommendationsRyan: Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August, which he's late to but found poignant for its eerie echoes of today's battlefields — and Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's Regime Change, an inside account of the second Trump administration that he calls harrowing but essential for anyone trying to anticipate the president's behavior. (He also finally read The Three-Body Problem, and now knows his sophons from his Trisolarans.)Kaiser: Robert Harris's Agrippa, published September 1 — the memoir of Marcus Agrippa, the general who won Octavian's battles and built half of Augustan Rome, and a story about the pivot from republic to empire that feels uncomfortably relevant. And if you've read Tuchman, do read Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914. Not my official recommendation, but astonishing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kenya's crackdown on foreigners operating small businesses has put Chinese traders at the center of a wider debate over competition, immigration, and economic opportunity. President William Ruto's targeting of foreign merchants has raised concerns about xenophobia while exposing deeper frustrations over how Chinese businesses operate in Kenya's informal economy. China's role in Africa is also expanding beyond trade. Xi Jinping's visit to Egypt highlighted Beijing's push for a greater role in Middle East and African security, while Chinese drones, weapons, and military training are gaining ground across the continent. At the same time, China's engagement is being framed through competing narratives of influence and "empire." This week, we have a Roundtable episode where we look at China's evolving role in Africa, including Kenya's crackdown, China-Egypt relations, and the growth of Chinese arms sales.

First, we speak to The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about the 18th BRICS summit in Delhi, disagreements over the war in West Asia, and the significance of Chinese President Xi Jinping's first visit to India in seven years.Next, we speak to The Indian Express' Anonna Dutt about the red warning labels that could soon appear on packaged foods, what they will tell consumers, and whether such front-of-pack warnings can influence purchasing decisions. (15:00)And in the end, we speak to The Indian Express' Sujit Bisoyi about five orangutans found in Odisha's Balasore district, the steps being taken to protect them, and suspicions that they were brought into India through an international wildlife-smuggling network. (22:51)Hosted by Shashank BhargavaProduced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha SharmaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
