China's newly released management measures for the Huangyan Island National Nature Reserve are a significant step aimed at protecting the island's rich biodiversity, officials and experts said.有关官员与专家表示，我国新出台的黄岩岛国家级自然保护区管理办法，是保护该岛丰富生物多样性的重要举措。The 16-article management measures for the reserve, which is a newly established protected area in the South China Sea covering 3,523.67 hectares of coral reef ecosystems and rare marine habitats, were jointly issued on Saturday by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the China Coast Guard and the People's Government of Hainan Province.该保护区为南海新建保护区域，总面积 3523.67 公顷，涵盖珊瑚礁生态系统与珍稀海洋栖息地。这份共十六条的管理办法于周六由自然资源部、国家林业和草原局、中国海警局、海南省人民政府联合印发。According to the measures, a coordination mechanism has been established to address major issues, strengthen collaboration and share information.办法明确，将建立协调工作机制，统筹处置重大问题、强化部门协同、实现信息互通共享。Huangyan Island, which is part of the Zhongsha Islands, features unique coral reef ecosystems and distinctive geological formations. It is home to numerous rare and endangered species, including hawksbill turtles, green sea turtles, giant clams, triton shells and tiger cowries, making it a marine biodiversity hot spot of significant ecological value.黄岩岛隶属于中沙群岛，拥有独特珊瑚礁生态系统与特色地质地貌，栖息着玳瑁、绿海龟、砗磲、法螺、虎斑宝贝等大量珍稀濒危物种，是具备极高生态价值的海洋生物多样性热点区域。Chen Danhong, director-general of the department of international cooperation at the Ministry of Natural Resources, noted that the measures were issued in response to urgent demands to protect the ecosystem as it faces heightened risks, including an abnormal rise in sea temperatures caused by climate change and extreme weather, human activities and potential outbreaks of harmful organisms.自然资源部国际合作司司长陈丹红表示，受气候变化、极端天气引发海水异常升温、人类活动、有害生物潜在暴发等多重风险冲击，黄岩岛生态保护迫在眉睫，出台本办法正是为回应这一迫切保护需求。"The measures provide an institutional basis for protection management and law enforcement. Their implementation will significantly improve the construction and management of the reserve, and they are of great significance for maintaining the health and stability of the South China Sea marine ecosystem," Chen said.陈丹红称：“该办法为保护区管护、执法工作提供制度依据，落地实施后将大幅提升保护区建设与管理水平，对维护南海海洋生态系统健康稳定具有重要意义。”Under the measures, the Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for boundary surveys, planning review, resource protection and utilization management, asset accounting and registration, as well as the protection of territorial sea baseline points.办法划定各部门职责：自然资源部负责勘界测绘、规划审核、资源保护利用管理、资产核算确权，以及领海基点保护相关工作。The National Forestry and Grassland Administration supervises the reserve and reviews adjustments, planning and construction.国家林业和草原局承担保护区监管职责，负责保护区范围调整、规划建设相关审核工作。The South China Sea bureau of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the designated management institution, handles daily protection, resource monitoring and ecological restoration.自然资源部南海局作为保护区主管管理机构，负责开展日常管护、资源监测与生态修复工作。The Hainan provincial government cooperates with the China Coast Guard on administrative law enforcement, while the local government assists the management institution with disaster prevention, safety management and emergency response measures.海南省人民政府会同中国海警局开展行政执法，地方政府配合管理机构落实防灾、安全管控、应急处置相关工作。The reserve is divided into a core protection zone of 1,242.55 hectares and a general control zone of 2,281.12 hectares.保护区划分为核心保护区与一般控制区，面积分别为 1242.55 公顷、2281.12 公顷。The measures prohibit entry except for activities authorized by laws and regulations or organized by the management institution for protection and management purposes.办法规定，除法律法规许可，或由管理机构组织、以生态管护为目的的活动外，任何单位和个人禁止进入保护区。Fishing, mining, excavating corals, coral reefs and giant clams, and other activities that damage rare marine species and natural ecosystems are prohibited without approval.未经许可，严禁开展捕捞、采矿、采挖珊瑚、珊瑚礁、砗磲等破坏珍稀海洋物种与自然生态系统的活动。The coast guard will establish a routine patrol system in collaboration with the management institution, deploying patrol personnel and equipment to deter and report violations.海警部门将联合管理机构建立常态化巡查巡护机制，布设巡护人员与装备，及时制止、上报各类违法违规行为。Violations will be prosecuted under applicable laws including the Ecological and Environmental Code, the Sea Areas Administration Law, the Island Protection Law, the Wildlife Protection Law, the Coast Guard Law and the regulations on nature reserves.对各类违法行为，将依据《中华人民共和国生态环境法典》《中华人民共和国海域使用管理法》《中华人民共和国海岛保护法》《中华人民共和国野生动物保护法》《中华人民共和国海警法》以及自然保护区相关条例依法追责。Jin Yongming, a distinguished professor at Ocean University of China's School of International Affairs and Public Administration in Shandong province, said the multiagency management model of the Huangyan Island reserve is shaped by its marine environment and geopolitical sensitivity, noting that it involves foreign affairs, politics and security — issues no single department can handle alone.中国海洋大学国际事务与公共管理学院特聘教授金永明表示，黄岩岛特殊海洋环境与地缘敏感性，决定了保护区必须实行多部门协同管理模式，相关工作涉外、涉政、涉安全，无法依靠单一部门独立处置。"The release of these management rules represents a significant step forward in safeguarding China's lawful maritime rights and interests at Huangyan Island," Jin said.金永明指出，这套管理规定的出台，是我国维护黄岩岛合法海洋权益进程中的重要一步。biodiversity /ˌbaɪəʊdaɪˈvɜːsəti/n. 生物多样性ecosystem /ˈiːkəʊsɪstəm/n. 生态系统maritime /ˈmærɪtaɪm/adj. 海洋的；海事的jurisdiction /ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃn/n. 管辖；管辖权

China's military and coast guard have conducted drills near Huangyan Dao, saying the operations were aimed at safeguarding the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights amid tensions in the South China Sea.

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JBS, 7-29-26The provided text is a transcript from the John Batchelor Show, featuring a detailed discussion between hosts and experts regarding escalating geopolitical tensions involving China, Iran, and the South China Sea. The speakers highlight provocative Chinese military actions, including maritime bullying of Filipino personnel and the rare launch of a first-strike missile system from a submarine. Experts also examine a reported arms deal between China and Iran for anti-aircraft missiles, suggesting this marks a significant escalation in global instability. Additionally, the dialogue explores domestic turmoil within the Chinese Communist Party, specifically focusing on vacancies in the Central Military Commission and the unusual absence of Xi Jinping from high-profile commemorative events. Finally, the segment addresses the strained diplomatic and economic relations between the United States and Canada, noting a shift in Canadian public perception toward China and the U.S. amid trade disputes.

On July 6 China tested a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile into the South China Sea. A PLA statement after the test claimed that “the missile test was a routine part of China's annual military training program, and relevant countries had been notified in advance.” In this episode of The Diplomat's Asia Geopolitics Podcast hosts Ankit Panda and Katie Putz take stock of the test and the reactions across the Pacific. The July 6 was the first time that China has launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile into international waters, and only its the second launch of a ballistic missile into international waters since 1980. Also unusual: China provided notice to Australia, Japan, the U.S. and others, through in some cases only half an hour.You can subscribe to The Diplomat's Asia Geopolitics podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify; and watch the episode on YouTube.

Typhoon Noul slammed into the coastal city of Huizhou in Guangdong province in the early hours of Sunday morning, bringing violent winds and torrential rain that flooded streets, toppled trees and billboards, disrupted transportation and forced the evacuation of more than 801,000 residents.上周日凌晨，台风红霞正面登陆广东省沿海城市惠州，狂风暴雨造成城区街道积水、树木与广告牌倒伏、交通全面受阻，当地紧急转移安置群众超 80.1 万人中央气象台。Noul, the 12th typhoon of the year, is the first typhoon to make landfall in Guangdong this year. So far, it is also the strongest typhoon to hit China this year and the most powerful to strike areas east of the Pearl River Estuary in the past decade.台风红霞是 2026 年第 12 号台风，也是今年首个登陆广东的台风。该台风为今年登陆我国强度最高的台风，同时是近十年来侵袭珠江口以东区域最强台风。The typhoon battered the cities of Huizhou, Shanwei and Shenzhen in eastern Guangdong with strong gales and heavy downpours, damaging infrastructure and causing widespread economic losses.台风裹挟狂风暴雨持续肆虐粤东惠州、汕尾、深圳三市，大量基础设施受损，区域经济损失严重。Fifteen of the hardest-hit cities suspended classes, construction, production, transportation and business operations to mitigate the risk of accidents and casualties. Authorities also ordered all offshore workers to return to shore and required fishing vessels to seek shelter as of Saturday.为降低人员伤亡与安全事故风险，15 个受灾严重城市实行停课、停工、停产、停运、停业。相关部门已于周六下达指令，要求全部海上作业人员上岸避险、渔船回港避风。More than 801,000 residents living in low-lying areas were evacuated ahead of the typhoon's landfall. Emergency response measures were activated in 135 districts and counties across the province's 19 prefecture-level cities.台风登陆前，低洼地带超 80.1 万名群众完成转移避险。全省 19 个地级市共计 135 个区县全部启动应急响应。At 5:13 am on Sunday, emergency workers waded through floodwaters in Huizhou's Ruhu township to remove fallen trees and other debris, clearing the way for an ambulance transporting a pregnant woman to a hospital for delivery, according to local authorities.当地应急管理部门通报，周日凌晨 5 时 13 分，惠州汝湖镇应急救援人员蹚过积水路段，清理倒伏树木、杂物，为运送待产孕妇的救护车打通救援通道。At a village in Shanwei, rescuers and firefighters evacuated 27 elderly residents and children after floodwaters inundated the community early on Sunday.周日清晨，汕尾一处村落被洪水淹没，救援队员与消防人员紧急转移村内 27 名老人与孩童。Xie Yutong, an office worker in Huizhou's Huicheng district, said she had never experienced such intense rainfall.惠州市惠城区上班族谢雨桐表示，自己从未遭遇过如此猛烈的暴雨。"Rainwater rushed into my home through the balcony," said Xie, adding that residents had been advised to avoid non-essential travel.“雨水顺着阳台灌进家中。” 谢雨桐介绍，此前有关部门已提醒居民非必要不外出。Deng Li, a volunteer, described stepping forward to assist residents during critical moments as his bounden duty.志愿者邓力表示，危难时刻挺身而出、帮扶受灾群众，是自己义不容辞的责任。The typhoon also severely disrupted transportation. China Railway Guangzhou Group adjusted or suspended all high-speed and conventional rail services beginning on Saturday, while widespread flight delays and cancellations were reported at airports in Guangzhou and Shenzhen over the weekend.台风造成交通运行严重受阻。自周六起，中国铁路广州局调整、停运全部高铁及普速列车；周末期间，广州白云机场、深圳宝安机场大量航班延误、取消。As of 10 am on Sunday, China Southern, China Eastern, Hainan Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines had canceled a total of 377 arriving and departing flights.截至周日上午 10 时，南方航空、东方航空、海南航空、深圳航空累计取消进出港航班 377 班。Ye Menglong, a meteorological analyst with Weather China, said unusually high sea surface temperatures in the South China Sea fueled Noul's rapid intensification before landfall, allowing it to strike Guangdong at severe typhoon strength. However, he warned that landfall does not mean the danger has passed.中国天气网气象分析师叶梦龙分析，南海海域海面温度异常偏高，促使台风红霞登陆前快速增强，以强台风级别登陆广东。他同时警示，台风登陆并不代表风险解除。"Combined with monsoon moisture transport, coastal areas in eastern Guangdong will continue to be battered by torrential rain, with parts of Heyuan, Meizhou, Chaozhou, Jieyang, Shanwei and Huizhou expected to experience extreme rainfall in the coming days," Ye said.叶梦龙表示：“叠加季风水汽输送，粤东沿海地区仍将持续遭遇暴雨侵袭，未来数日，河源、梅州、潮州、揭阳、汕尾、惠州多地将出现特大暴雨。”Guangdong authorities have urged cities and relevant departments to make every effort to combat the disaster, placing the protection of lives and property as the top priority.广东省相关部门要求各地市、各职能部门全力开展防汛救灾工作，将保障人民群众生命财产安全放在首位。They called for continuous inspections to identify safety risks and timely and decisive evacuations.各地需持续开展安全隐患排查，一旦发现险情，及时果断组织群众转移避险。According to the provincial department of water resources, 261 reservoirs across the province had discharged a combined 697 million cubic meters of water on Saturday to increase flood-control storage capacity.广东省水利厅数据显示，周六全省 261 座水库合计泄洪 6.97 亿立方米，腾出库容提升防洪调蓄能力。Meanwhile, the National Development and Reform Commission allocated 100 million yuan ($14.7 million) in emergency funding to support Guangdong's post-typhoon recovery.国家发展和改革委员会紧急下达 1 亿元人民币（折合 1470 万美元）救灾专项资金，专项用于广东省台风过后灾后恢复重建工作。Noul is expected to move northwest at 10 to 15 kilometers per hour, pass through central Guangdong, enter southern Hunan province in the early hours of Monday and gradually weaken.预计台风红霞将以每小时 10 至 15 公里的速度向西北方向移动，途经广东中部，于周一凌晨进入湖南南部，随后强度逐步减弱。torrential /təˈrenʃl/adj. 暴雨倾泻的，猛烈的evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃn/n. 人员疏散，转移安置infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə(r)/n. 基础设施reconstruction /ˌriːkənˈstrʌkʃn/n. 灾后重建，恢复

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening  The Tai-Ex opened 73 points higher this morning at 44,899. Turnover reached 7.3 billion N-T dollars. The market bounced back on Wednesday, led by chip and technology shares. The gains came after the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.21 percent overnight, as major chipmakers (晶片製造商) and other A-I-related companies gained in the U-S. Foreign minister repeats South China Sea position Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung has repeated Taiwan's claims in the South China Sea. However, he said the Lai administration is not actively pushing those claims. His comments come as tensions continue between China and the Philippines in the disputed waters (爭議海域). Speaking at a legislative hearing on the government's South China Sea policy, Lin said Taiwan's claims over islands in the area have not changed. He said Taiwan's position is based on four principles (原則). These include solving disputes peacefully under international law, including Taiwan in international talks, protecting freedom of navigation (航行自由) and air travel, and sharing regional resources. Possible tropical storm could affect Taiwan this weekend The Central Weather Administration says a tropical depression (熱帶性低氣壓) east of the Philippines could become a tropical storm as early as today. The weather system could reach waters near Taiwan this weekend. A sea warning (海上警報) may be issued as it moves through the Bashi Channel and into the South China Sea. The tropical depression is about 1,400 kilometers east-southeast of Eluanbi, Taiwan's southernmost point. It is moving northwest at 27 kilometers per hour. If it becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Noul. It would be the 12th named storm of this year's Pacific typhoon season. US signs agreement with Saudi Arabia on uranium enrichment  The U-S has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia on the kingdom's civilian (民用的) nuclear energy program. The deal could allow Saudi Arabia to develop the ability to enrich uranium (濃縮鈾). The Trump administration has released few details about the agreement. However, it could lead to the construction of a uranium enrichment center after a joint U-S-Saudi study. The U-S Department of Energy says the peaceful nuclear agreement will also give American companies greater access to Saudi Arabia's nuclear energy program. Major wildfire burns in central Spain Firefighters in central Spain are battling a major wildfire (野火、森林大火) in Guadalajara. The fire has burned more than 32,000 hectares (公頃) of land. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez visited the area on Wednesday and called for political parties to work together against climate change. He said climate change is a scientific issue, not a political one. The Guadalajara fire is one of the largest in Spain's history. It comes less than two weeks after another fire in southern Spain killed 13 people. A heat wave is making firefighting more difficult, with temperatures reaching 42 degrees. Other European countries are also facing extreme heat and wildfires. Police station opens at Hitler's birthplace in Austria Austria has opened a police station in the house where Adolf Hitler was born. The Nazi leader was born in the former inn (以前的旅館) in April 1889. For years, Austrian officials debated what to do with the 17th-century building. They wanted to stop it from becoming a place where neo-Nazis would gather. The building has now been refurbished (翻修), and its outside appearance has been changed. The government first announced plans to turn it into a police station in 2019. Police musicians performed at the opening ceremony. Louvre reopens Apollo Gallery after jewel theft The Louvre Museum in Paris has reopened its Apollo Gallery. The gallery (展廳、畫廊) had been closed after crown jewels (王室珠寶) worth more than 100 million U-S dollars were stolen during a daytime robbery last October. The AP's Alex Turnbull reports.

Two weeks ago, a PLA Navy submarine in the South China Sea test-fired a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile that flew 7,300 kilometers before splashing down in the South Pacific. The launch drew sharp criticism from several Pacific Island countries, whose leaders argued that it violated the region's longstanding identity as a nuclear-free zone. To be clear, the test did not violate international law or established norms. The United States, France, and other nuclear powers have conducted similar missile tests in the Pacific for decades. Even so, Zhang Denghua, a senior research fellow at the Australian National University's Department of Pacific Affairs and CGSP's non-resident fellow for the Pacific, argues that the launch could erode Beijing's hard-earned influence in the region. He joins Eric to discuss the strategic implications of the test, China's intensifying competition with traditional powers in the Pacific, and why Taiwan remains such a potent issue for Beijing in this part of the world.

In his speech at the China-ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila，Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on China and ASEAN to jointly uphold peace and development in the region and beyond (01:05). Iran's main military command has warned that any US attack on its nuclear or sensitive sites will be met with expanded strikes targeting US and allied interests across the region (11:52). Beijing has slammed the Democratic Progressive Party authorities in Taiwan for echoing the Philippines' provocations over a Chinese reef in the South China Sea (33:00).

Beijing summoned the ambassador of the Philippines to China on Tuesday and lodged solemn representations over Manila's deliberate provocation at Ren'ai Reef and attack on China Coast Guard law enforcement personnel on Monday.周二，中方紧急召见菲律宾驻华大使，就菲方周一在仁爱礁蓄意挑衅、袭击中国海警执法人员一事提出严正交涉。The Chinese Foreign Ministry, in a statement, described the acts as egregious, noting that the Philippines initiated the provocation and then sought to shift the blame onto China, distorted the facts and maliciously hyped up the incident.外交部发表声明指出，菲方上述行为性质恶劣；菲方挑衅在先，事后却倒打一耙、歪曲事实，恶意炒作此次海上事件。The statement said China Coast Guard operations in waters near the reef were justified and lawful, and the country would take measures to firmly safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.声明强调，中国海警在仁爱礁附近海域开展执法活动合理合法，中方将采取一切必要措施，坚定捍卫自身领土主权与海洋权益。Addressing a regular news briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian stressed that Ren'ai Reef is part of China's Nansha Islands and is Chinese territory.外交部发言人林剑在例行记者会上强调，仁爱礁是中国南沙群岛的组成部分，主权属于中国。A Philippine military vessel has remained illegally grounded at Ren'ai Reef since May 9, 1999, despite Manila's repeated commitments to remove it.1999年5月9日以来，菲律宾一艘军舰在仁爱礁非法坐滩，尽管菲方多次承诺将该舰拖离，却始终未兑现承诺。Lin urged the Philippines to honor its commitments, immediately stop maritime provocations and false narratives, and exercise effective restraint over its frontline personnel.林剑敦促菲方恪守承诺，立即停止海上挑衅与虚假舆论造势，并有效约束一线人员言行。"Otherwise, the Philippines will bear all consequences arising from its actions," he added.他补充道：如若不然，菲方必须承担自身行径引发的一切后果。Lin said that in July 2024, China and the Philippines reached a provisional arrangement on humanitarian resupply missions to the grounded vessel based on China's three-point principled position, adding that China's position remains unchanged.林剑表示，2024年7月，中方基于三点原则立场，与菲方就坐滩军舰人道主义生活物资补给达成临时安排，中方这一立场至今未变。"If the Philippines were to attempt to build fixed facilities or permanent outpost, China will absolutely not accept it and will resolutely stop it in accordance with the law and regulations," Lin said.林剑称：倘若菲方试图在礁上修建固定设施、永久哨所，中方绝对不会接受，并将依法依规坚决予以制止。China Coast Guard spokesman Jiang Lue said that on Tuesday morning, China allowed the Philippine side, on humanitarian grounds, to use a boat to transfer the injured sailor to Philippine Coast Guard vessel No 9702. The China Coast Guard contacted the Philippine vessel to verify the purpose of the operation and monitored the process throughout, Jiang said.中国海警局发言人姜略表示，周二上午，中方从人道主义角度出发，允许菲方船只将受伤水手转运至菲律宾9702号海警船。中方海警全程与菲方船只沟通核实行动目的，并全程监督转运全过程。With Foreign Minister Wang Yi set to attend the China-ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila on Wednesday, Lin, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, said it is worth noting that whenever China and the Philippines prepare for dialogue or engagement, or whenever a major regional diplomatic event approaches, certain forces invariably seek to stir up trouble over maritime issues.王毅外长将于周三赴马尼拉出席中国—东盟外长会。外交部发言人林剑指出，一个值得警惕的现象是：每逢中菲即将开展对话交往、或是地区重大外交活动临近之际，总有某些势力刻意借海上问题制造事端。"As to where the facts and merits of the issue lie and who is pulling the strings behind the scenes, I believe it's plain for all to see. China's policy on neighborhood diplomacy remains consistent and unchanged," he said.他表示：事件孰是孰非、谁在幕后操纵，世人有目共睹。中方周边外交政策一以贯之，从未改变。Lin said East Asian cooperation platforms are not appropriate venues for discussing bilateral maritime disputes, calling on the Philippines to fulfill its responsibilities as ASEAN chair by promoting dialogue and cooperation rather than putting its own political interests above regional peace and stability.林剑表示，东亚合作相关平台并非讨论双边海上争端的合适场合；菲方作为东盟轮值主席国，应当履行自身责任，推动对话合作，而非将本国政治私利凌驾于地区和平稳定之上。He Xianqing, an associate researcher at the National Institute for South China Sea Studies, said that Manila was seeking international attention and sympathy from ASEAN countries by portraying China as a coercive bully on purpose. It also tried to give the illegal and invalid "2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea" greater practical effect and deterrent force — a development that warrants vigilance.中国南海研究院副研究员何贤清分析，菲律宾刻意将中国塑造成强势施压一方，以此博取国际社会与东盟国家的关注与同情；菲方还企图赋予2016年非法无效的南海仲裁案裁决更多实际效力与威慑力，这一动向值得高度警惕。Zhu Feng, a professor at Nanjing University's School of International Studies, said the Philippines had sought backing from the United States and Japan as it escalated tensions with China in the South China Sea for narrow domestic political purposes.南京大学国际关系学院朱锋教授表示，菲律宾出于狭隘国内政治考量，不断在南海制造紧张局势，同时寻求美日两国撑腰支持。provocation /ˌprɒvəˈkeɪʃn/ n.挑衅、滋事solemn representations严正交涉egregious /ɪˈɡriːdʒiəs/ adj.性质极其恶劣的、骇人听闻的provisional arrangement临时安排、暂行协议

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu reviews President Trump's address related to Chinese interference in the 2020 US election, and the the extent to which election materials and systems may have been compromised in the process. Next, Miles details the recent move by the US government to re-adjust sanctions on Hong Kong related to China's enhanced security crackdowns, and the confusion involved regarding Hong Kong's autonomous status. Finally, Miles covers China's record of territorial maritime violations in the Indo-Pacific on the tenth anniversary of the landmark 2016 UNCLOS tribunal ruling against China's South China Sea claims. China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future.

Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has put into sharp relief both the costs of modern war in the age of proliferating drones and a fundamental principle dating to the beginning of our Republic. From the get-go, Americans have fought and died defending freedom of navigation imperiled by British warships and Barbary pirates seizing our vessels and their crews. Now, Iran's allies in Yemen and China are also threatening that principle in the Red Sea's Bab-el-Mandeb and in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, respectively.  Much rides on whether we'll demonstrate the ability to restore deterrence of such modern day piracy, or as some on Capitol Hill are demanding, cut and run. There will be few places to run – or sail – to if freedom of navigation is no longer exercised by us and our friends. This is Frank Gaffney.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says China stands ready to work with ASEAN to foster a new narrative of peace, stability, cooperation and friendship in the South China Sea. He also discussed the issue with Malaysia's foreign minister, saying the early conclusion of consultations on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea will help safeguard peace and stability in the region.

On today's show, Andrew and Bill begin by parsing the economic data released by the PRC this week, including slower-than-expected growth, the Party's response to the status quo, export-powered growth that is widening trade imbalances, and the questions all of this will raise for foreign policymakers. From there: The Party's findings on Ma Xingrui, questions that remain unanswered, and cadre risk aversion for the next 18 months. Then: PRC messaging around openness in AI, an ongoing U.S. debate over open-source AI models, three chip bills that may end up in the NDAA, and the continued adventures in China policy on Capitol Hill. At the end: Reflections on the 10th anniversary of The Hague ruling on the PRC's territorial claims in the South China Sea, as well as the state of play today.

The U.S. war against Iran is having a profound impact far away from the battlefield, all the way on the other side of Asia in the Western Pacific. There's an emerging consensus among Washington's allies and foes alike that the U.S. will be incapable, unwilling, or a mix of both to fight a war against China in this part of the world. That's prompting a rapid reevaluation of security postures across the region, a shift on full display over the past week: Australia moving to bolster security ties in the South Pacific and Japan building what many see as a new security architecture for the post-American order. Derek Grossman, CGSP's non-resident fellow for the Asia-Pacific and a professor of international relations at the University of Southern California, joins Eric to discuss the week's key events in the South China Sea, South Pacific, and Japan's latest moves to build a new intelligence agency.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 113-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 44,851 on turnover of $9.9-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan came under pressure Tuesday, falling below 44,000 points at one point, before rebounding in the last 90 minutes of the session to cap the losses. But while most non-tech stocks were also in the doldrums, the petrochemical sector outperformed the market on a spike in international crude oil prices amid renewed unease in the Middle East, which could boost product prices. Heat and Afternoon Thunderstorms Over Next Few Days Forecasters are warning of intense heat and severe afternoon thunderstorms across Taiwan over the next several days. The Central Weather Administration today issued high-temperature alerts for eight counties and cities. Officials say Changhua, Yunlin, Tainan, and Hualien are under an orange alert… meaning temperatures could repeatedly exceed (超過) 36 degrees Celsius. Taipei, New Taipei, Chiayi, and Taitung are under a yellow alert. Taitung also faces a high risk of hot, dry foehn winds. Meteorologist Wu Der-rong says tropical disturbances in the South China Sea and near the Philippines are bringing large amounts of moisture toward Taiwan, creating highly unstable conditions. Wu warns that severe convective thunderstorms will develop in mountainous areas every afternoon through July 21st, and te storms will likely trigger lightning, strong winds, and flash flooding in low-lying areas. (NS) China Senior CCP Member Expelled Chinese state media says a senior official has been expelled from the ruling Communist Party. Ma Xingrui is one of three members of the current Politburo purged in leader Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign, alongside two military generals. Analysts see the campaign as a tool to enforce loyalty to Xi and root out (根除) corruption. Party authorities concluded that Ma committed violations including accepting gifts and using his position to help others. The 66-year-old Ma was previously the Communist Party chief of Xinjiang and governor of Guangdong province.

The AP's Jennifer King reports. Spain Gibraltar Border Fence** Dismantled** The fence separating Gibraltar from Spain has been dismantled, easing travel for thousands who cross daily. This change, which goes into effect today, follows years of post-Brexit negotiations between the European Union and the United Kingdom over Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory that is also claimed by Spain. On Tuesday, the U.K. and the E.U. signed an agreement securing Gibraltar's economic future. The deal de facto brings Gibraltar into the EU's Schengen free travel area. Gibraltar officials say live facial recognition (臉部辨識) cameras are now set up at entry points. When Britain left the EU in 2020, the relationship between Gibraltar and the bloc had been left unresolved. In 2025, the EU and U.K. announced an agreement on those issues, with the two sides and Gibraltar's government signing a treaty Tuesday that eases border crossings. That was the I.C.R.T.

As Typhoon Bavi moves farther inland after making landfall in Zhejiang province, the biggest threat to northern China may not be damaging winds, but days of torrential rainfall, meteorologists said.气象专家表示，台风巴威登陆浙江后持续深入内陆，对我国北方地区而言，最大威胁并非大风损毁，而是连日暴雨。By Monday morning, Bavi had weakened as it moved north-northeast slowly across Anhui province. However, its expansive rain bands continued to spread across much of eastern China, affecting provinces from Fujian and Zhejiang to Shandong, Liaoning and Jilin.截至周一早晨，巴威北上东北行，途经安徽时强度逐步减弱，但其庞大雨带持续覆盖我国东部大片区域，影响范围涵盖福建、浙江、山东、辽宁、吉林等省份。Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said Bavi is expected to move northeast at about 15 kilometers per hour, crossing Jiangsu and Shandong provinces before entering the northern Yellow Sea around midday on Tuesday.国家气象中心首席预报员陈涛介绍，巴威将以每小时 15 公里左右速度向东北方向移动，途经江苏、山东，预计周二中午前后进入黄海北部海域。Although the typhoon is expected to continue weakening, its impact should not be underestimated, especially in Liaoning and Jilin, where rainfall could be exceptionally intense, Chen said.陈涛称，虽然台风强度会持续衰减，但影响不容小觑，辽宁、吉林两地或将出现极端强降雨。Northern Liaoning and central Jilin could receive exceptionally heavy downpours, with isolated areas forecast to receive 300 to 450 millimeters of rain. In some places, daily rainfall could exceed historical records, he said.辽宁北部、吉林中部有特大暴雨，局地累计降雨量可达 300 至 450 毫米，部分站点单日降雨量或将突破历史极值。Unlike typhoons that strike southern China and rapidly weaken after moving inland, storms that track northward often pose a different threat.登陆华南的台风深入内陆后通常快速减弱，北上台风带来的灾害风险与之截然不同。Even as their winds diminish, they can produce widespread and persistent rainfall, triggering floods far from where they first made landfall.即便风力大幅衰减，仍会带来大范围持续性降雨，在远离登陆点的区域引发洪涝灾害。Bavi continues to draw vast amounts of tropical moisture northward, creating a sustained flow of humid air into northern China. If both the storm and the surrounding weather systems move slowly, rainfall could persist for several days, significantly increasing the risk of flooding, Chen said.陈涛解释，巴威持续将大量热带水汽向北输送，源源不断向北方输送暖湿气流。若台风本体及周边天气系统移动缓慢，降雨将持续多日，洪涝风险显著升高。Zhao Dajun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, explained that a key factor determining a typhoon's track is the western Pacific subtropical high, a large high-pressure system that acts as a steering mechanism for tropical cyclones.中国气象科学研究院研究员赵大军解读，西太平洋副热带高压是决定台风路径的核心系统，如同引导热带气旋移动的 “方向盘”。When the system extends farther west, typhoons are more likely to head toward southern China. When it weakens or shifts eastward, however, storms have more room to turn north, moving across eastern China toward the Yellow Sea and eventually Northeast China.副高西伸时，台风多西行登陆华南；若副高减弱东撤，台风则有北上空间，自华东穿过黄海，最终影响东北地区。As Bavi moves northward, it is also being steered by stronger upper-level winds that help carry the storm to higher latitudes, Zhao said.赵大军表示，巴威北上过程中还受到高空偏北气流牵引，助推其向更高纬度行进。Another reason Bavi has been able to travel so far inland is that sea surface temperatures in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea remain relatively warm, providing enough energy for the storm to maintain its circulation longer than usual.巴威能够长距离深入内陆的另一原因是东海、黄海水温偏高，可为台风环流供给能量，使其维持完整结构的时长超出常规台风。The storm may weaken, but its capacity to produce heavy rainfall often remains intact.台风风力虽减弱，但制造强降雨的能力并未大幅下降。As a result, Northeast China could still experience severe rainfall even if the storm's center does not pass directly overhead, meteorologists said.气象专家指出，即便台风中心不直接经过东北地区，当地仍会遭遇强降雨天气。Gao Xiaoyu, an associate researcher at the academy, said mountainous terrain could further intensify rainfall. As moisture-laden air is forced up mountain slopes, it cools and condenses, producing heavier precipitation. Similar terrain in Liaoning and Jilin could locally enhance rainfall as Bavi moves into Northeast China.该院副研究员高晓宇表示，山地地形会加剧降雨强度：携带充沛水汽的气流爬坡抬升、冷却凝结，形成更强降水。巴威进入东北后，辽宁、吉林山地将出现降雨增幅效应。The storm could also affect coastal areas.此次台风还将给沿海地区带来次生灾害。As it passes over the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, strong winds may push seawater toward the coast, raising sea levels and increasing the risk of storm surges in parts of Shandong and Liaoning, especially if the storm coincides with high tide, Gao said.高晓宇介绍，台风途经黄海、渤海期间，大风会推动海水涌向岸边，抬升沿岸水位，山东、辽宁部分区域风暴增水风险升高，恰逢天文大潮时风险将进一步加剧。Looking ahead, China is likely to face two to three more typhoons during the late July to early August flood season, Chen Tao said.陈涛表示，展望后期，7 月末至 8 月初主汛期我国还将迎来 2 至 3 个台风影响。Five to six typhoons are expected to form over the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea during the period, with two to three making landfall in or affecting China.此期间西北太平洋、南海预计生成 5 至 6 个台风，其中 2 至 3 个登陆或影响我国。One particularly strong typhoon could bring significant wind and rain to northern regions, Chen added.陈涛补充，或将有一个强度较强的台风给我国北方带来明显风雨影响。torrential /təˈrenʃl/adj. 暴雨的，倾泻的subtropical /ˌsʌbˈtrɒpɪkl/adj. 副热带的；亚热带的precipitation /prɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn/n. 降水；降水量surge /sɜːdʒ/n. 激增；风暴增水

They're still stuck in 2016. The South China Sea isn't. On July 12, the US, the Philippines, Japan and 11 other countries issued a joint statement ten years after the release of the so-called "South China Sea arbitration award". China's position, however, remains unchanged: The so-called "award" is illegal, null and void, and has no binding force. Yet beyond the political rhetoric lies another story. Traveling through Malaysia and Indonesia, CGTN's Liu Xin hears from the people whose lives are shaped by these waters every day. One arbitration does not define the South China Sea, nor will it define its future.

Ten years have passed since the Philippines won a landmark legal case that invalidated China's sweeping claims over much of South China Sea. What does the 2016 Arbitral Award mean for the Philippines, Australia and the Indo-Pacific? - Sampung taon na ang nakalipas mula nang manalo ang Pilipinas sa isang makasaysayang legal na kaso na tumanggi sa malawak na pag-aangkin ng China sa malaking bahagi ng South China Sea. Ano ang kahulugan ng 2016 Arbitral Award para sa Pilipinas, Australia at sa mas malawak na Indo-Pacific?

China has released a critique of the so-called South China Sea Arbitration Award, unveiling its major flaws in legal application, factual findings, and evidence assessment (01:02). China's east coast continues to respond to the intense rainfall from Typhoon Bavi, as the storm moves inland and loses strength (15:17). The US and Iran continue to exchange fire in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Gulf region (24:48).

China has rejected a joint statement by several countries on the 10th anniversary of the South China Sea arbitration ruling, reiterating its opposition to the 2016 decision and calling for disputes to be settled through talks.

China has lodged representations against Tokyo's collusion with other nations over the so-called South China Sea arbitration ruling. China said Japan's action challenges the post-war international order, and undermines peace and stability in the South China Sea.

Beyond the headlines lies another story. Join CGTN's Liu Xin as she travels through Malaysia and Indonesia, uncovering how cooperation is changing lives. Featuring exclusive interviews with a leading expert and an influential local figure, this documentary explores a side of the South China Sea that rarely makes the news.

Ten years after an international tribunal found the vast majority of China's claims in the South China Sea to be unlawful, the risk of conflict in this vital global throughway remains stubbornly high. This week on Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Greg Poling, Director and Senior Fellow of the CSIS Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative and Southeast Asia Program, for a wide-ranging discussion on China's strategy, successes, and failures in the South China Sea. They examine the evolving nature of China's maritime claims, why Beijing cares so much about small rocks in the middle of the ocean, and why the South China Sea has become a major flashpoint in U.S.-China relations. To learn more about the South China Sea, you can read Greg's book On Dangerous Ground: America's Century in the South China Sea. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/on-dangerous-ground-9780197633984 

What if the most important strategic relationship of the 21st century is the one Washington is actively damaging? In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Kurt Campbell - former Deputy Secretary of State, President Biden's "Asia czar," a key figure in building the modern Quad, and founder of The Asia Group - to ask whether the U.S. and India can move beyond damage control toward something far more ambitious: a new kind of alliance.Last year, U.S.-India ties hit their lowest point in a quarter century: 50% tariffs over India's Russian oil purchases, a tilt toward Pakistan, and a sharp breakdown of trust. Yet at that very low point, Campbell and Jake Sullivan published "The Case for a U.S. Alliance With India" in Foreign Affairs, warning Washington risked driving India into its adversaries' arms.Drawing on decades of firsthand diplomacy, Campbell offers a candid insider's read on what went wrong and what might still go right. He reveals why Pakistan has out-maneuvered India in navigating the Trump White House, why his own successor's speech in Delhi drew audible gasps from the audience, and why India's celebrated "strategic autonomy" masks a quiet but unmistakable tilt toward the West.In this episode:Why Campbell calls India America's most consequential 21st-century partner, and what "escape velocity" meansHow he and Sullivan are trying to recast what "alliance" means for a country that will never host U.S. basesHow Pakistan adapted to Trump-era diplomacy more effectively than IndiaThe surprising story of how India went from reluctant Quad participant to its driving forceHow India quietly cut its reliance on Russian arms from 80% to under 40%Campbell's new Asia Group report on the Strait of Hormuz crisis and why it's hitting the Indo-Pacific harder than markets expectHis warning that the South China Sea, not Taiwan, is the likeliest flashpoint for miscalculationFollow and subscribe for your weekly Indo-Pacific briefing.Follow Kurt Campbell at The Asia Group or on LinkedIn.Follow us on X, @IndoPacPodcast, LinkedIn or FacebookFollow Ray Powell on X, @GordianKnotRay, or LinkedIn, or check out his maritime transparency work at SeaLightFollow Jim Carouso on LinkedInSponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOCR SHOW, 6-24-2026MEXICO CITYThe Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping.

Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales.

Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Vladimir Putin says Russia is ready to restart peace negotiations with Ukraine based on the framework discussed during the 2022 Istanbul talks.

Foreign policy doesn't fit on a bumper sticker, so I dedicate a full hour to discussing the outcome of the Iran war with Tablet magazine's Park MacDougald. He helps me analyze the fallout from the Iran agreement, the future of Israel and Lebanon, the role of JD Vance, and whether America is repeating the same failed Middle East strategy used by Obama and Biden. Unfortunately, what you are seeing is not an exercise in America First or even isolationism or neutrality in the Middle East. It's a far-left Wilsonian view that intervenes on behalf of Islamic enemies and will further entrench us in the war for years to come. Also, if our trillion-dollar military can't keep shipping lanes open against Iran, what happens when China moves on the shipping lanes in the South China Sea?  Learn more about your ad choices.
