In the second episode of our investigation, we examine the life and career of Fu Xiaotian: the prominent Chinese TV host who had an affair with Qin Gang.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with reactions to last week's arrest of Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to governor Kathy Hochul.

Most observers of China's relations with the world maintain that China's foreign policy started becoming more assertive beginning in the 2010s. The label “wolf warrior diplomacy” was coined by Western media to describe the aggressive language used by Chinese diplomats. The term “wolf warrior” comes from the title of the Chinese action film Wolf Warrior 2 and describes a more combative approach used by many Chinese diplomats, especially in social media and in interviews.Explanations for China's increased diplomatic assertiveness vary, ranging from rising military and economic might to the personal leadership style of General Secretary Xi Jinping. A recently published book titled “China's Rising Foreign Ministry,” investigates the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in shaping and implementing Chinese foreign policy. In the words of a Southeast Asian diplomat who was interviewed by the book's author, “China has a bigger international influence in the last five years—and it is the PRC foreign ministry that is pushing and driving it" (114).Host Bonnie Glaser is joined by the book's author Dylan Loh Ming Hui, Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Global Affairs at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. His research focuses on Chinese foreign policy, Southeast Asian regionalism, and Asian conceptions of the international order.  Timestamps[01:57] What questions was the book seeking to address? [04:29] What do observers get wrong about China's foreign ministry? [08:22] China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Policy Formulation[13:30] Characteristics of Chinese Diplomacy in Southeast Asia[16:50] Relationship Between the Chinese MFA and PLA [20:10] The Role of the International Liaison Department[22:22] Interview Example from Dylan's Publication[25:04] Policy Implications and Lessons to be Learned[28:43] Changes Since the Publication of the Book[32:15] Predictions for the Future of the China MFA

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with an overview of the CPPCC, the NPC and what to expect as the Two Sessions begin this weekend. Topics include: Xi's recent absence from public view, the resignation of Qin Gang as an NPC delegate, Li Shangfu's removal from the party CMC's official website, Li Qiang's first work report as premier, and why Xi Jinping's is unlikely to echo last year's comments on the US. From there: Reactions to the I-SOON leaks as evidence of PRC hacking continues to circulate around the world, while Congress has questions for Elon Musk about SpaceX in Taiwan and whether the company is fulfilling its obligations to the US government. At the end: News on the Village Basketball Association, Joe Tsai's Brooklyn Nets celebrate Lunar New Year, and Pandas are coming back to San Diego and (probably) Washington D.C.

Promoting candidates that favor Beijing's views, scanning American political domains, and even posing as U.S. voters online—we take a look at how Beijing tried to influence the 2022 U.S. midterm elections. The first U.S. warship since Taiwan's elections travels through the Taiwan Strait, setting the stage for a bipartisan U.S. delegation visit to the island. A key figure in Beijing's global “Fox Hunt” campaign is expected to succeed the abruptly removed Qin Gang as China's next foreign minister. But who is Liu Jianchao? Amid a projected slump this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk issues a warning, predicting that Chinese EV firms will “demolish” rivals without strong trade barriers. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a note about this weekend's elections in Taiwan before turning back to the upheaval in the PLA. Topics include: Bloomberg's reporting on a US intelligence assessment, realism on PRC capabilities, the history of PLA corruption, and recent reporting about China's nuclear ambitions. From there: Reactions to the foreign affairs work conference in late December, why Beijing sees opportunities around the world, and thoughts on Liu Jianchao's visit to the US and his future as a possible successor to Qin Gang. At the end: Xi reconnects with old friends in Iowa, balloon updates will continue forever, a listener provides more context on a December Fox News report, and a Christmas present offers a path forward for the National Zoo.

La célébration de la fête juive de Hanouka à l'Élysée, jeudi soir, fait polémique. Et une partie de la classe politique dénonce d'ailleurs une atteinte à la laïcité. C'est un sujet explosif, 100% français qui n'est pas compris dans le monde anglo-saxon et rejeté dans les pays arabes, selon Arlette Chabot. En ce qui concerne l'événement d'hier, elle estime qu'Emmanuel Macron a sans doute commis une erreur, sinon une maladresse, en rappelant la loi de 1905 relative à la séparation des Églises et de l'État. Nicolas Bouzou s'est intéressé à la montée spectaculaire du prix de l'or. À plus de 2 000 dollars l'once lundi, cette valeur refuge a touché en début de semaine son plus haut historique. Il rappelle que, traditionnellement, l'or était considéré comme la relique qui protégeait contre l'inflation. L'or est resté à un niveau élevé. Mais comme l'inflation commençait à diminuer, l'once d'or a perdu un petit eu de valeur. Pourtant, ça a remonté depuis le 7 octobre. Nicolas Bouzou estime qu'en réalité, aujourd'hui, l'or est devenu non seulement une alternative contre l'inflation , mais aussi une sorte de protection contre le désordre géopolitique mondial. Quant à Catherine Jentile, elle pense aujourd'hui qu'il ne fait pas bon d'être proche de Xi Jinping, contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait penser. Elle estime que le président chinois est en train de mettre un coup de balai dans son entourage, dans les très hautes sphères de l'Etat chinois. La disparition de Qin Gang, l'éphémère ministre des Affaires Etrangères du pays, depuis le 25 juin dernier, illustre bien cette situation inquiétante. Et à tous les niveaux des rouages de l'Etat chinois, la liste des personnes disparues, démises de leur fonction ou limogées n'est pas exhaustive. Par ailleurs, Catherine Jentile se demande si cette agressivité du pouvoir chinois, qui pour l'instant, se limite à l'intérieur du pays, ne va pas, un jour, se tourner vers l'extérieur, et notamment vers Taïwan, tout en soulignant qu'un ballon chinois a été repéré au large des côtes taïwanaises. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.

In China lassen die Behörden regelmäßig Menschen verschwinden – für Tage, Wochen oder Monate. Es kann jeden treffen: Bürgerrechtsanwälte, Dissidentinnen, aufmüpfige Bauern, aber auch Profi-Tennisspielerinnen, Wirtschaftsbosse, Schauspiel-Stars und Minister. So ist seit Sommer 2023 unter anderem Chinas bisheriger Außenminister Qin Gang aus der Öffentlichkeit verschwunden. Kurz darauf traf es den chinesischen Verteidigungsminister Li Shangfu. Beide wurden inzwischen für abgesetzt erklärt. Die Hintergründe bleiben offen.   Die Nicht-Regierungsorganisation "Safeguard Defenders" schätzt, dass die chinesischen Sicherheitsbehörden in den vergangenen Jahren 150.000 Menschen verschwinden ließen. Sie nutzen dafür spezielle Gesetze, die dem Verschwindenlassen eine rechtliche Grundlage bieten. "Welt.Macht.China"-Moderator Steffen Wurzel spricht über das Thema in dieser Podcast-Folge mit dem ARD-Beijing-Korrespondenten Benjamin Eyssel und der rbb-Chinaexpertin Ruth Kirchner. Zu Wort kommen auch Peter Dahlin von der NGO "Safeguard Defenders" und Björn Alpermann, Professor für Contemporary Chinese Studies an der Universität Würzburg. Mit dem Phänomen des Verschwindenlassens in China befasst sich auch der Kino-Dokufilm "Total Trust": https://www.3sat.de/kultur/kulturzeit/filmtipp-total-trust-100.html [Trailer in der 3SAT-Mediathek bis 5.1.2024]   Bei Lob, Kritik und Anregungen schreibt uns eine E-Mail an: weltmachtchina@rbb-online.de.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with the latest confrontation between the PRC and the Philippines in the South China Sea, clarity as to PRC maritime tactics that look increasingly like an undeclared blockade, and questions about when and how the US might get involved. From there: Qin Gang and Li Shangfu are formally removed from the State Council, the MSS discloses details of another citizen accused of spying for the US, and leaders of the Five Eyes go to Silicon Valley and 60 Minutes. At the end: Heightened scrutiny of Foxconn in advance of January's presidential election in Taiwan, Tim Cook goes to China, Jon Stewart leaves Apple, and the New Yorker's Evan Osnos examines the sentiments in China after Xi Jinping's first decade in power.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a correction to last week's episode and the latest bizarre twist in the Qin Gang saga. Then: A closer look at the recent clashes between the PLA and the Philippines in the South China Sea, this week's news at the Scarborough Shoal, the Filipino media strategy under President Marcos, and possible PRC responses as international attention intensifies. From there: Xi welcomes Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to Hangzhou, Syria praises the “counter-terrorism” efforts in Xinjiang, and new information indicates that Uyghur history scholar Rahile Dawut has been sentenced to life in prison. At the end: The rumors of Rahm's Twitter demise were greatly exaggerated, exploring “Back to Bali” as momentum builds for increased US-China engagement, and the Panda farewell at the National Zoo yields a great Foreign Policy article, memories of a film set in 1994, and uncertainty about the future of Panda Diplomacy in the United States.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with this week's reporting on Foreign Minister Qin Gang. As sources in Beijing confirm allegations of an affair and a lovechild, plenty of questions remain. How could those details have gone undetected before Xi promoted Qin in January? Were Qin or his mistress compromised by a foreign government? And why is Party leadership apparently so comfortable disclosing Qin's affair to the international community? From there: The headline of the week from the UK, the tweet of the week from the US Ambassador to Japan, and more on Defense Minister Li Shangfu and the PLA rumors. Then: Two more bearish indicators for the economy, while wind turbine and EV controversies percolate in the EU and portend further complications to come. At the end: more details released on America's favorite unmanned civilian airship, Huawei chooses an interesting date for its product launch next week, export control speculation continues in DC, and Apple's new iPhone sells out in China.

The special counsel investigating Trump for meddling in the election now wants to limit what Trump can say publicly. He's also accusing Trump of harassing witnesses. Plus, a Russian woman bravely speaks out against the war in her home country of Russia as Putin claims hundreds of thousands more enlist in his army. Also, just weeks after the Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang vanished, another top Chinese official is missing from public view.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Kinas handel med Ryssland slår nya rekord och Kina blir allt viktigare för den ryska krigsekonomin. Samtidigt har ett klipp med en kinesisk operasångare i Mariupol väckt stor ilska i Ukraina. Väst lägger sanktion på sanktion för att torrlägga den ryska krigskassan. Men där västvärlden lämnat har Kina klivit in och Kina handlar nu med sin krigande granne som aldrig förr. Den totala handeln mellan Ryssland och Kina har ökat med 36 procent under det här årets sju första månader jämfört med samma period 2022. Hör om Kinas sug efter rysk olja till reapris och om de tekniska komponenterna från Kina som kan användas i Rysslands krig.Xi som metallgubbe på gågata i MoskvaI Ryssland välkomnas nu kinesiska turistgrupper utan visum och på en gågata i Moskva står två stora metallfigurer föreställandes Xi Jinping och Vladimir Putin. Att Kina tagit flera stora kliv på den ryska marknaden efter den fullsakliga invasionen syns även i försäljningen av nya bilar. Kina har tagit över flera bilfabriker i Ryssland där det tidigare tillverkades europeiska modeller. Hör även i Kinapodden om Kinas försvarsminister Li Shangfu som inte synts till på två veckor. Efter att utrikesminister Qin Gang försvann i somras och sedan ersattes väcker den nya ministerfrånvaron frågor om vad det är som just nu pågår i kommunistpartiets toppskikt.Medverkande: Björn Djurberg, Kinakorrespondent. Hanna Sahlberg, Kinakommentator. Maria Persson Löfgren, Rysslandskorrespondent. Torbjörn Becker, chef för Östekonomiska institutet vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm.

Han handplockades till posten som utrikesminister för bara ett halvår sedan. Men nu är Qin Gang försvunnen och utbytt hittills utan förklaring. Hör om hur turerna kan försvaga Xi Jinpings ställning. Spekulationerna och ryktena rasar om vad som kan ha legat bakom Qin Gangs mystiska försvinnande från offentligheten tidigare i somras. Peking har hittills inte kommit med någon egentlig förklaring, utan konsekvent duckat frågor. Qin Gang höll sin första presskonferens som utrikesminister så sent som i mars i år och i juni träffade han USA:s utrikesminister Antony Blinken. I slutet av juli stod det klart att han ersatts av sin föregångare, toppdiplomaten Wang Yi. Qin Gangs försvinnande och den efterföljande tystnaden från Pekings sida påverkar Kinas anseende i världen och kan även påverka Xi Jinpings ställning negativt, menar Oscar Almén vid FOI.– Xi är lite pressad nu. Det är en hel del saker som har gått honom emot den senaste tiden och som har försvagat hans position. Han har ganska mycket fiender inom systemet, säger Oscar Almén i Kinapodden.Hör också om fler exempel på högt uppsatta personer som rensats ut under Xi, vad det säger om dagens Kina och den maktapparat som byggts upp under Xi Jinping. Medverkande: Hanna Sahlberg, Kinakommentator. Oscar Almén, forskare och Kinaanalytiker vid Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut FOI.

China's foreign minister, Qin Gang, disappeared from public view in June, and after a month of speculation reports surfaced that he'd been removed from his job. Once a rising star in the Chinese Communist Party, the minister's sudden downfall has raised questions about doing business with the world's second biggest economy.

On today's Espresso Martini and season seven finale, Matt & Chris look at the puzzlingly short tenure of the Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang; they unpack some hot gossip surrounding last month's Wagner mutiny and discuss updates on the war in Ukraine, both at sea and on land. In the last story, they look at AI's potential threat in the 2024 US Elections and the 2025 UK general election.

Known as Xi Jinping's blue-eyed boy, Qin Gang was sacked as the Chinese foreign minister this week after a month's absence from the public eye. Qin, who remains a state councillor, had a meteoric rise — going straight from China's US ambassador to foreign minister. He was last seen on 25 June, when he held discussions with counterparts from Russia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam in Beijing. His absence comes amid rumours of an affair with a famous TV journalist. In episode 1279 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta talks about Qin's rise, the speculation surrounding his absence, the return of his predecessor Wang Yi as his successor too, and how the complex Chinese system works.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a hastily called National People's Congress Standing Committee meeting, Wang Yi's return to his former role as Foreign Minister, and the removal of Qin Gang. Topics include: The messy procedure that led to this week's removal, possible explanations for Qin retaining his role as state councilor, and a possible timeline for an investigation and further announcements regarding Qin's future. Then: What Qin's removal might mean within the Foreign Ministry, and the signals this situation is sending to the rest of the world. From there: The Politburo's meeting on the economy, explaining the psychology of the current real estate market, and another edict that may put PRC companies in conflict with Western business practices. At the end: More details on what America's semiconductor companies are telling the White House, pronouncing the word "Reuters," and Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson announces that he'll be playing for China in this summer's FIBA World Cup.

International affairs. Since we are a daily newsletter focused on U.S. issues and can't go deep on every single topic out there, we sometimes miss important things happening in the rest of the world. So today, we thought it'd be a good idea to mix it up: We're going to use this edition to do a brief round-up of a few of the biggest stories from across the globe that we haven't had a chance to cover. Protests in Israel - The Wall Street Journal (paywall) has more.  Russian drones attack grain depots in Ukraine - The Associated Press has the story of the drones in Moscow, while BBC has the attacks on the grain depot. The conflict in Sudan - Al Jazeera has a timeline on the conflict.  Heat wave in southern Europe and northern Africa - CNBC has more on the heat and CBS News has more on the wildfires. Elections in Spain - CNN has more. FIFA Women's World Cup - Just Women's Sports has a breakdown of the competition, and The New Zealand Herald has an editorial on the “crowd pleasing” start. Mayor of Manta (Ecuador's 3rd largest city) killed in shooting - The Associated Press has more. Protests in Kenya - CNN has the story.  India bans exports of non-basmati rice - CBC has the story. North Korea fires missiles into the sea in a response to a U.S. submarine arriving in South Korea - CBS News has the story. Qin Gang, China's foreign minister and the country's highest ranking diplomat, ousted - Reuters has the story.  Worldcoin was launched - Forbes has the story.

Until yesterday, Qin Gang 秦刚 was serving as China's Minister of Foreign Affairs. But on Monday, July 24, the National People's Congress Standing Committee announced an emergency meeting for the next day, July 25, during which Qin was “removed” 免职 (albeit not “dismissed” 撤职) from his position as China's #2 diplomat. To dissect the rumors and make sense of it all, we have on Matt Brazil — a senior China analyst at BluePath Labs, writer for SpyTalk, fellow at the Jamestown Foundation, and longtime friend ChinaTalk. (Check out our January 2021 show with Matt!) We discuss: Precisely what we know and don't know about l'affaire Qin; How journalist Fu Xiaotian 傅晓田 is wrapped up in all of this — and how those with CCP connections somehow end up with private jets and buy-ins to elite universities; Qin's possible connections to the Ministry of State Security — and why that might rub his subordinates the wrong way; How the CCP has dispensed with previous political elites, and whether Qin's treatment resembles theirs; and Why it is that sometimes even the heads of CCP security don't even know what's going on!

Speculation on why is now running wild. A U.S.-born NBA star announces his World Cup schedule, but this time, he's representing America's biggest rival: China. After three years of closed borders, North Korea is giving the green light for a major diplomatic visit. Two delegations from China and Russia are set to arrive there soon.

Exactly one month after Qin Gang disappeared from public view, on Tuesday, his removal and his successor was announced in Chinese state media. No explanation was given. And, every summer, Antarctic ice sheets recede as they melt, and every winter they regrow when the temperature drops. But recent observations and data show the ice is not regrowing. Also, researchers believe that the H5N1 virus known as avian flu may have killed millions of wild birds globally as the outbreak ravages South America. Plus, trying to prevent violence in Sudan with old-fashioned detective work.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping's chief diplomat has been mysteriously missing from the political scene for weeks. Rumors are rife over Qin Gang's vanishing act. Was it due to health concerns, extramarital affairs, or falling out of political favor? Taiwan is reporting a record number of Chinese warships circling the island. What's driving Beijing's military flex? A top American institute is under investigation over its partnership with China for projects that might share cutting-edge technologies in military use.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with the mystery surrounding foreign minister Qin Gang, who has not been seen in public since June 25th. As the foreign ministry stays silent, what might explain his retreat from public view, and how does this situation reflect on Xi Jinping and the party? Then: Henry Kissinger makes a surprise visit to Beijing, meets first with Defense Minister Li Shangfu, while John Kerry meets with Li Qiang and Wang Yi to talk common ground on climate issues. Will either of them get an audience with Xi? From there: U.S. chip firms lobby the executive branch, Chinese hackers access the emails of Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, and the optics get trickier for Biden's China policy. At the end: Weak economic data for Q2 and a window into who's actually driving the changes to China's relationships with the West.

China Center Program Manager Shane Leary joins Miles Yu to discuss Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry's visit to Beijing, and the broader strategy of the Biden administration for engaging with Beijing. They then turn to speculations surrounding the People's Republic of China's Foreign Minister Qin Gang's absence since June 25, before covering Pope Francis's approval of Shen Bin, a Chinese Communist Party–appointed bishop in Shanghai, and the state of religious liberty in China.Follow the China Center's work at: https://www.hudson.org/china-center

A China criticou nesta quarta-feira (21) uma declaração feita na véspera pelo presidente americano, Joe Biden, chamando Xi Jinping de “ditador”. A fala aconteceu um dia depois de o secretário de Estado dos EUA, Antony Blinken, ter se reunido com o presidente chinês e outras autoridades para distensionar o que o chanceler do país asiático, Qin Gang, chamou de “o ponto mais baixo” desde que as potências passaram a ter relações diplomáticas em 1979. O Durma com Essa explicou os principais motivos da crise. O programa traz também Isadora Rupp falando sobre a aprovação de Cristiano Zanin no Senado para ocupar uma cadeira de ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal e a colunista Andreia Coutinho Louback comentando a percepção dos brasileiros sobre a crise climática.Assine o Nexo e apoie o jornalismo independente e de qualidade.Desconto especial para quem ouve o Durma com Essa.Assine o podcast: Spreaker | Apple Podcasts | Deezer | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Outros apps (RSS)Edição de áudio Pedro Pastoriz

On today's show Andrew and Bill talk through Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's trip to Beijing. First: The voices that convinced Biden to push for an improved relationship, what “back to Bali” actually entails, and reactions to the meetings between Blinken and PRC counterparts Qin Gang and Wang Yi. From there: The Biden Administration wants to close the book on the spy balloon, Xi's public comments concerning US competition vs. what the PRC likely believes internally, Xi's meeting with Blinken, and a sea of takes on seating arrangements, lotus flowers, runway red carpets, and Taiwan independence. At the end: A new report on the PLA's ambitions in Cuba, waiting for a fentanyl working group and more flights between the US and China, and two pieces of media recommended for all listeners.

Venerdì il governo ha annunciato l'esercizio del golden power su Pirelli per limitare l influenza del socio cinese Sinochem, che possiede il 37% della società. Nello specifico il Consiglio dei ministri, nella seduta del Consiglio dei ministri del 15 giugno, ha deciso di utilizzare i poteri speciali per proteggere tecnologia e know-how di Pirelli imponendo una governance che aumenta il peso della holding Camfin nel cda - con il passaggio da 3 a 4 membri tra i 12 consiglieri di maggioranza e la scelta dell'amministratore delegato - e rafforza l'autonomia del management su piani e scelte strategiche. Le prescrizioni del Governo per ora non hanno provocato strappi al titolo della Bicocca in Borsa. Le azioni Pirelli & C sono comunque in rosso di circa l'1%. Ne parliamo con Laura Serafini, Sole 24 Ore. Blinken in missione in Cina. Prove di disgelo Incontro a Pechino tra il segretario di Stato Usa Antony Blinken e il ministro degli Esteri Qin Gang in apertura del suo viaggio in Cina. I colloqui sono stati "franchi", "sostanziali" e "costruttivi", rende noto il dipartimento di Stato americano. Blinken "ha sottolineato l'importanza della diplomazia e del mantenimento di canali di comunicazione aperti su tutta la gamma di questioni per ridurre il rischio di percezione errata e calcolo errato". Qin Gang ha accettato l'invito ad andare a Washington. Dopodiché l'incontro più importante fra Blinken e il leader cinese Xi Jinping, incontro durato circa mezz'ora che si è chiuso con qualche apertura fra i due. «Le due parti hanno compiuto progressi e sono pervenute a un accordo su alcune questioni specifiche. Questo è molto positivo». Ha detto Xi Jinping. La speranza, ha detto Xi, è che le due parti convergano su una «stabile relazione», chiedendo agli Usa di adottare un approccio «razionale» e di agire «con responsabilità». Nel frattempo Goldman Sachs ha tagliato le sue previsioni di crescita per l'economia di Pechino, portando le stime per quest'anno dal 6% al 5,4%. Approfondiamo il tema con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore di Notizie.it. Impennata dei tassi, crollano i mutui: compravendite immobiliari -10% nel 2023 Alla fine del 2023 è previsto un calo del mercato delle compravendite immobiliari del 10,7%, rispetto al 2022. Nel frattempo, il primo bimestre dell'anno vede già la discesa, a livello nazionale, del 2,7%. Lo fa sapere il Consiglio nazionale del Notariato, secondo il quale i primi due mesi dell'anno hanno visto un crollo dei mutui per l'acquisto della casa: la percentuale di diminuzione è stata, infatti, del 23,56%, al confronto con lo stesso periodo del 2022. Il rialzo dei mutui è figlio dei rialzi attuati dalla Bce. A Francoforte la scorsa settimana ha alzato ancora il costo del denaro, che è salito nella forchetta compresa tra il 4% (tasso di rifinanziamento principale, quello che le banche pagano per chiedere liquidità alla Bce) al 3,5% (tasso sui depositi, quello che le banche ricevono dalla Bce quando vi parcheggiano la liquidità). E per i mutuatari (ai quali interessa più il secondo tasso, dato che è ad esso che è agganciato l'indice Euribor che movimenta le rate del tasso variabile) lo scenario cambia ancora una volta. Questo ciclo di rialzi è iniziato lo scorso luglio. In 11 mesi la Bce ha aumentato il costo del denaro di 400 punti base, una velocità mai vista nei 22 di storia dell'Eurozona. Una politica che ha avuto effetti diretti su chi ha un mutuo a tasso variabile: se a giugno 2022 la rata di un mutuo standard (140mila euro, scadenza 25 anni a fronte di un immobile di 200mila euro) costava poco meno di 500 euro, ora siamo a 750. E si dovrebbero arrivare a sfiorare gli 800 verso novembre, con un aumento di oltre il 60%. Ne parliamo con Mario Breglia, presidente di Scenari Immobiliari.

Prima Roma, poi Berlino e Parigi e oggi Londra. Il presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky si è impegnato in una serie di visite in Europa rispetto alle quali si è detto molto soddisfatto. Il presidente, infatti, ha riferito di aver avuto la conferma dell'appoggio dei partner europei e di aver portato a casa "pacchetti di difesa importanti e potenti". Quasi parallelamente un altro uomo politico si è recato in Europa: il ministro degli Esteri cinese Qin Gang. Ne abbiamo parlato con Giulio Pugliese, responsabile di ricerca presso IAI, e con Arturo Varvelli, direttore della sede romana del European Council on Foreign Relations.Ci siamo poi collegati con il nostro inviato Roberto Bongiorni per commentare i risultati delle elezioni in Turchia.

Das FBI hat in Massachusetts einen 21-jährigen Mitarbeiter der Nationalgarde festgenommen, der US-Geheimdokumente mit brisanten Informationen zum Ukraine-Krieg im Netz veröffentlicht haben soll. Wie Jack T. unbemerkt an die Dokumente gelangen konnte und warum US-Verteidigungsminister Lloyd Austin erst von den Leaks erfuhr, als sie bereits monatelang im Internet kursierten, analysiert Holger Stark aus dem Investigativressort von ZEIT und ZEIT ONLINE. China wird Russland im Krieg gegen die Ukraine aktuell und auch künftig nicht mit Waffen versorgen. Das versprach der chinesische Außenminister Qin Gang nach einem fast zweistündigen Gespräch mit seiner deutschen Amtskollegin Annalena Baerbock (Grüne). Weniger aufgeschlossen zeigte sich Qin Gang in Bezug auf die Einhaltung von Menschenrechten. Seit Monaten wird in Frankreich gegen die Rentenreform von Präsident Emmanuel Macron protestiert – so auch am Freitag wieder. Nun hat der Verfassungsrat geprüft, ob die Reform verfassungskonform ist, und steht kurz davor, seine Entscheidung bekannt zu geben. Welchen Einfluss das Organ hat, erklärt Matthias Krupa, Frankreich-Korrespondent der ZEIT. Was noch? Die Juice-Sonde startet in Richtung Jupiter.

durée : 00:03:02 - Géopolitique - par : Pierre  Haski  - Le chef de la diplomatie chinoise Qin Gang a lancé mardi une sévère mise en garde aux États-Unis, signe d'une escalade qui se poursuit après l'échec d'une tentative de dialogue. Les sujets de friction ne manquent pas, et le contexte intérieur de chaque pays rend la désescalade difficile.
