Pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple purple mountain majesties above the fruit America is back. And welcome back to the program. Please join us in welcoming, attorney general Alan Wilson. Attorney general Wilson, how are you, sir? Wait a minute. There you are. I'm doing well. How are you? I'm doing absolutely fantastic. Boy, I tell you what, you guys have been pretty busy in the AG's office. Is there ever do you guys ever take a break? No. We're always on. You get you're getting your tax dollars out of me, Charlie. Absolutely. You you guys sent me an email, a text about this. I I had no idea. Boy, I tell you what, these these drug traffickers, they're getting really tech savvy out there. There's a Chinese Fentanyl app. It's called WeChat. Yeah. WeChat is basically if if signal and Venmo and Instagram all got put in the blender, and that would be the new app. It's basically a peer to peer app that you can transfer money on and do social media post on. And, basically, Mexican drug cartels and Chinese money launderers and other illicit actors are using it to transfer money and basically launder money for illicit drug trafficking purposes. And it's a Chinese owned app. The Chinese it's a Chinese company. And so this is an app that is being, circ used to circumvent the law. Charlie, you know, president Trump has done an excellent job of shutting down the physical border of this country, but we have a digital border that bad guys are stuck trying to get around right now, and WeChat is one of those digital borders they're using. So, I mean, what would because I know, I'd be you your office and the AG over there, up there in North Carolina, you guys work together. What has been the headway that you've made against people using this app? So we're still in the beginning of this, but, basically, this is a bipartisan effort. Obviously, he's a Democrat. I'm a Republican, but we have a bipartisan letter that he and I led from AGs around the country. Basically, we sent it to WeChat. And, basically, we're asking WeChat, we know that peep that bad guys are using your platform to transfer and launder money. We wanna know what you know and when did you know it, and what are you gonna do about it. And we're waiting on them to respond to us in the next thirty days. Otherwise, we're gonna pursue potential legal courses of action. I can't go into it right now. Right. But this is I mean, the fentanyl crisis in this country is off the charts. President Trump has done an incredible job of shutting down the borders, and we're bailing out all of the water out of the proverbial boat that is America. But there is so much bad stuff that is here. Illegal aliens, drugs, gang members, Mexican cartel trafficking is going on in our state. Enough is enough, and that's why we're going after them. You're exactly right. And that brings up the case of Larisha Thompson murdered by, well, murdered, six illegal aliens, in in, Lancaster. And it's just a horrible case, a horrible story. What can we do about illegal aliens and gang activity here in South Carolina? Well, first off, I've a couple of weeks ago, I was doing a ride along with a law enforcement agency till 01:30 in the morning. They were doing sting operations with illegal aliens that were members of Trende Arago, which is a violent Venezuelan gang. Mhmm. And I was able to watch, you know, law enforcement, you know, do amazing work. When everyone else is sleeping, they were out there as the tip of the spear. What I can tell you about law enforcement right now is we are working to get all of our local sheriffs and police chiefs that can be a member of the two eighty seven g program, which is a federal program that is that allows local law enforcement to basically be deputized ICE officers.

Kevin Carter, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of EMQQ Global and the INQQ Fund joined Steve Darling from Proactive to highlight the resurgence of emerging markets and the strong performance of EMQQ and INQQ funds in 2025. After more than a decade of lagging behind developed markets, Carter believes the tide is finally turning. He noted that the EMQQ Fund is up 20% year-to-date, reflecting growing investor interest and momentum in markets that have long been overlooked. “We're finally seeing a rotation back into emerging markets,” Carter said, pointing to improving fundamentals and demographic tailwinds. Carter outlined a compelling long-term investment thesis: emerging markets represent 85% of the world's population and 90% of its future, as measured by people under 30. These markets also tend to grow faster economically, and they're now undergoing a massive digital transformation. This transformation is being fueled by the widespread adoption of affordable smartphones, which are providing billions of people with internet access for the first time. “They're not getting laptops,” Carter explained. “They're getting their first-ever computer—and it's a low-cost, Android-based smartphone.” This leapfrog into the digital world is creating enormous opportunities for local tech companies, many of which are held by EMQQ and INQQ. Carter cited WeChat in China, Eternal (formerly Zomato) in India, and Nubank in Brazil as standout examples of companies leading the digital consumer revolution in their regions. While geopolitical tensions—particularly between the U.S. and China—continue to cast uncertainty over global markets, Carter stressed that most of the companies EMQQ focuses on are domestically driven and insulated from export-related risks. He remains optimistic about a rebound in emerging markets and sees this as a long-term shift: “We believe the next decade belongs to the digital consumer in emerging markets. The growth story is just beginning.” #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #EmergingMarkets #Investing #Technology #GrowthOpportunities #India #China #EMQQGlobal #TechInvestment #DigitalTransformation #GlobalEconomy #InvestmentStrategies #MarketInsights #KevinCarter #FinancialNews #EconomicOutlook #FutureInvesting #MarketTrends #EmergingEconomies #InvestorTips #MarketAnalysis #InvestmentPortfolio #DigitalIndia #TechBoom #MarketWatch #EconomicProspects

À la veille des 100 jours du deuxième mandat de Donald Trump, focus sur une conséquence de sa guerre commerciale avec la Chine. Face aux droits de douane massifs imposés par Washington, Pékin organise la riposte pour soutenir ses entreprises, avec en première ligne ses champions du numérique. Décryptage. Depuis l'instauration de droits de douane de 145% par les États-Unis, les distributeurs chinois prennent des mesures pour soutenir leurs entreprises. La conséquence directe de cette guerre commerciale, ce sont des montagnes d'invendus qui s'accumulent dans les entrepôts chinois. Et pour cause : les États-Unis étaient, jusqu'à l'an passé, le premier acheteur de biens chinois, avec près de 500 milliards de dollars d'importations. Concrètement, près d'un produit sur cinq fabriqué en Chine était destiné au marché américain : vêtements, jouets, chaussures ou composants électroniques. Aujourd'hui, des milliers d'entreprises chinoises cherchent de nouveaux débouchés, notamment sur leur propre marché intérieur. Le ministère du Commerce chinois parle même de « choc », et appelle à transformer le marché intérieur en véritable bouée de sauvetage. À lire aussiLes petits producteurs chinois, grands perdants des mesures de Donald TrumpAlibaba et JD.COM en première ligne Pour mener cette stratégie, Pékin mise sur ses géants technologiques comme Alibaba et JD.COM. Ainsi, JD.COM a lancé un fonds de 200 milliards de yuans, soit environ 27 milliards de dollars, pour acheter directement les stocks des entreprises exportatrices. Le groupe identifie des fournisseurs stratégiques dont les produits sont ensuite mis en avant sur sa plate-forme pour séduire le marché local. Alibaba suit une stratégie similaire : le géant du e-commerce réserve une place de choix sur son site à 10 000 exportateurs et 100 000 produits, afin d'accroître leur visibilité. L'idée est claire : offrir aux entreprises touchées par la guerre commerciale américaine une meilleure exposition sur le marché chinois et favoriser ainsi l'absorption de leurs stocks. À lire aussiChine: le président Xi Jinping reçoit le gratin du secteur privé, dont Jack Ma, le fondateur d'AlibabaUne mobilisation qui dépasse le e-commerce Le soutien aux exportateurs ne se limite pas aux plates-formes en ligne. Les réseaux sociaux chinois comme WeChat, Douyin ou TikTok mettent également en place des programmes de promotion ciblée pour les aider. Même les supermarchés traditionnels s'adaptent : Walmart, filiale chinoise du géant américain, ouvre ses rayons aux entreprises locales frappées par les mesures américaines. Un objectif central guide cette mobilisation : éviter que toute l'économie chinoise ne soit plombée. La consommation intérieure reste fragile, affectée par la morosité économique et les incertitudes sur l'emploi. Si les entreprises venaient à fermer, cela entraînerait une vague de suppressions de postes. De plus, la concurrence féroce entre exportateurs pour séduire les mêmes clients pourrait déclencher une guerre des prix dévastatrice. Sans compter que les produits initialement destinés au marché américain ne sont pas toujours adaptés aux consommateurs chinois, ce qui entraîne des coûts logistiques supplémentaires et réduit les marges. Si l'aide des géants du numérique semble bienvenue, elle devra être soutenue sur la durée, car derrière cette crise, c'est toute la dépendance structurelle de la Chine aux exportations que Pékin tente, coûte que coûte, de corriger.À lire aussiLe reste du monde se prépare à une inondation de produits chinois bon marché

Kineska superaplikacija WeChat privukla je pozornost australskih medija 2016. godine, kada je otkriveno da kineski Australci putem nje prate savezne izbore. Od tada traje rasprava o dezinformacijama usmjerenima na multikulturalne zajednice putem društvenih mreža koje nisu na engleskom jeziku, poput WeChata. Unatoč sve većoj svijesti, Australija možda ni ove izbore nije spremna suočiti se s tim izazovom.

In 2016, Chinese super app WeChat caught the attention of the Australian media after Chinese Australian voters were found to be engaging with the federal election on the platform. Since then, there's been ongoing discussion about misinformation targeting multicultural communities on non-English social media platforms like WeChat. Despite the increased community awareness, Australia may not be prepared to address the issue this election.

2016 میں، چینی سپر ایپ WeChat نے آسٹریلوی میڈیا کی توجہ اس وقت حاصل کی جب چینی آسٹریلوی ووٹروں کو پلیٹ فارم پر وفاقی انتخابات میں مشغول پایا گیا۔ تب سے، غیر انگریزی سوشل میڈیا پلیٹ فارمز پر کثیر ثقافتی کمیونٹیز کو نشانہ بنانے والی غلط معلومات کے بارے میں بحث جاری ہے

در سال ۲۰۱۶ پس از آنکه مشخص شد رای دهندگان چینی استرالیایی در پلتفرم چینی «وی چت» WeChat در خصوص انتخابات فدرال استرالیا کسب اطلاعات می کنند، این اپ توجه رسانه های استرالیایی را به خود جلب کرد. از آن زمان، بحث‌های مداومی در مورد اطلاعات نادرست که جوامع چندفرهنگی را در پلتفرم‌های رسانه‌های اجتماعی غیرانگلیسی زبان مانند وی چت هدف قرار می‌دهد، صورت گرفته است. و این در حالی است که با وجود افزایش آگاهی جامعه، استرالیا ممکن است آماده رسیدگی به این موضوع در انتخابات آتی فدرال نباشد.

Vào năm 2016, ứng dụng Trung Quốc WeChat đã thu hút sự chú ý của truyền thông Úc sau khi người ta phát hiện cử tri gốc Hoa ở Úc đang tương tác với cuộc bầu cử liên bang thông qua nền tảng này. Kể từ đó, đã có nhiều cuộc thảo luận liên tục về vấn đề thông tin sai lệch nhắm vào các cộng đồng đa văn hóa trên các mạng xã hội không sử dụng tiếng Anh, như WeChat.

Donald Trump increases China tariffs to 125% and pauses reciprocal tariffs on other countries, an alleged PRC-led WeChat campaign targets Carney in Canada's election, China rejects Ukrainian claims about Its citizens fighting alongside Russia, France's National Assembly passes a Mayotte citizenship restriction, the DR Congo repatriates Americans spared the death penalty over a failed coup, a judge orders the White House to lift restrictions on The Associated Press, while President Trump signs executive orders to revive the coal industry, the IRS chief reportedly resigns over an immigration data-sharing deal, the IMF reaches a staff-level agreement with Argentina for a $20 billion loan, and a study potentially links the mpox virus to the fire-footed rope squirrel.

In today's episode, we tackle one of the biggest missed opportunities in education: when rich data about student learning stays hidden from the very people it matters to most — students. I sit down with Daniel Rosenberg from Otis to explore how giving students direct access to their learning data can radically personalize instruction, build real student agency, and make teaching more impactful (and less overwhelming). You'll discover: Why “data rich but information poor” is holding schools back — and how to fix it. How AI-powered tools are making it easier than ever for teachers to spot trends and plan faster interventions. How giving students visibility into their progress creates faster, smarter interventions. Real examples of students using their own data to set goals and shape their learning journeys. How platforms like Otis are making this shift simple for teachers, not harder. Ready to turn student data into student power? Tune in and learn how a small shift can spark big outcomes!

This week, we catch up with Dutch sinologist Manya Koetse, the creator of "What's on Weibo," a platform offering in-depth insights into trends, events, memes, and social phenomena on Weibo, one of China's largest social media platforms, often referred to as the "Chinese Twitter."As a bridge for non-Chinese speaking audiences to understand the dynamics of Chinese digital culture, "What's on Weibo" has evolved over the years, recently expanding to include a premium newsletter while maintaining its mission to decode Chinese social media for a global audience.Manya explains Weibo's role in the increasingly fragmented Chinese online environment, discussing the evolving gender and class demographics of Weibo alongside other platforms such as Bilibili, WeChat, and Xiaohongshu (Red Book). She also talks about how Weibo functions as a social barometer reflecting the changing tides of Chinese nationalism, commercialism, social unrest, and anti-Western sentiment.

Energy has the power to transform—I know because it transformed me. My journey with Reiki began in 2018, opening a path to deep healing and stillness. Guided by world-renowned teachers like William Lee Rand and Colleen Benelli, I trained at Mount Kurama, Japan, and studied sound healing in Nepal, where I discovered the profound influence of frequency and vibration. In India, I deepened my practice of meditation and Hatha yoga, strengthening my connection to breath, stillness, and holistic healing. Blending Reiki, sound healing, and meditation, I help others reconnect with their inner light, awaken self-healing, and step into authenticity. My role is not to fix but to hold space—guiding others to trust their intuition and reveal the healing power within.

Het was een lange zit, en achteraf kwamen beleggers ook nog van een koude kermis thuis. Topman Jensen Huang gooide van alles in de strijd maar praatte uiteindelijk alleen maar het aandeel van zijn Nvidia omlaag. Nieuwe AI-chips, een samenwerking met General Motors, een robot, zelfs het belachelijk maken van zijn eigen oudere generatie chips... Niks kon beleggers blij maken. Waarom werd niemand enthousiast van al die pogingen van Huang? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering voor je uit. Dan hebben we het ook over Philips. Dat dacht een vriend aan boord te halen met investeerder Exor Holdings. Met één voorwaarde: Exor zou nooit meer dan een vijfde van de aandelen van Philips in handen krijgen. Nou, daar komt Exor nu toch akelig dichtbij. Verder gaat het over een uitglijder van de beurs in Turkije. Het vertrouwen van beleggers is daar ver zoek nadat de grootste tegenstander van president Erdogan uit het niks werd opgepakt. En over hommeles bij de ijsjestak van Unilever. De topman van Ben & Jerry's wordt daar de laan uit gestuurd vanwege z'n politieke activisme. En dat terwijl die ijsjestak binnenkort naar de beurs moet. Als dat maar goed gaat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Des centres d'escroquerie en Asie du Sud-Est, notamment en Birmanie, au Cambodge et au Laos, exploitent des milliers de personnes pour mener des arnaques en ligne, générant des milliards de dollars. Après l'enlèvement d'un acteur chinois en Thaïlande, une coopération entre la Thaïlande, la Chine et la Birmanie vise à démanteler ces réseaux, qui utilisent les plateformes sociales pour piéger leurs victimes, notamment via des fraudes aux cryptomonnaies. Xu, l'un des rescapés, attiré sous un faux prétexte près de la frontière birmane puis emmené de force dans un centre d'escroquerie, raconte. Xu débute son récit en racontant qu'il a été attiré, avec trois autres personnes, à la frontière, sous un faux prétexte pour du travail. Mais une nuit, plus d'une douzaine de personnes en uniforme de camouflage, avec des couteaux à la taille, les ont forcés à escalader la montagne qui les séparait de la Birmanie. À ce moment-là, dit-il, il était trop tard pour partir, et c'est là qu'il a compris que quelque chose n'allait pas :« Pendant 48 heures, nous avons traversé de nombreux endroits en Birmanie, mais je ne me souviens plus de quels villages il s'agissait. À chaque poste de péage, il y avait des fonctionnaires birmans en service. Ils comprenaient et parlaient chinois. Ils étaient tous complices. Tant que vous leur donniez des yuans, ils vous laissaient passer. »À lire aussiEscroqueries en ligne: la Thaïlande intensifie ses actions contre les réseaux criminels frontaliersOrdinateur, plusieurs téléphones, outils de traduction « pour communiquer »...Une fois arrivé dans le centre, Xu explique qu'il travaillait sans arrêt tous les jours de 10h30 à 2h00 le lendemain, et que tout était étroitement contrôlé. « Chaque personne recevait un ordinateur et quatre téléphones Apple équipés de cartes SIM birmanes avec des numéros commençant par +95, tous d'occasion. Là, on créait des comptes Gmail, puis Facebook, Instagram. On gérait 20 comptes chacun », se souvient-il.Il poursuit : « Parfois, les clients voulaient discuter. Il était essentiel de créer un lien émotionnel. Au début, on utilisait l'anglais, mais si le client parlait une autre langue comme le thaï ou le malais, on se tournait vers des outils de traduction pour communiquer dans la langue du client. L'objectif ultime restait de guider le client dans son investissement. Il n'y avait pas de script fixe, juste quelques tactiques générales. »« Le lien menait à un faux site web d'imitation très réaliste »Xu reprend son récit : « Le centre s'étendait sur sept étages, chacun travaillant sur des projets de fraude différents, à chaque étage. Au total, il y avait 14 équipes et projets de fraude. L'équipe dont je faisais partie se concentrait sur la cryptomonnaie, en particulier l'USDT.Plus tard, j'ai appris que des personnes de nombreux pays pouvaient transférer leur monnaie locale sur la plateforme d'échange OKX, qui est reconnue internationalement, sauf en Chine continentale où elle n'est pas autorisée. Après avoir transféré de l'argent, elles pouvaient utiliser des dollars américains pour acheter des cryptomonnaies.Une fois que quelqu'un avait acheté de la cryptomonnaie, même pour une valeur de seulement 500$, il recevait un lien qui semblait être une plateforme de trading légitime, comme un site de bourse. Cependant, le lien menait à un faux site web d'imitation très réaliste. La première fois, l'équipe d'escrocs manipulait le backend pour s'assurer que la victime ''gagnait''. Tout était contrôlé par les chefs de l'équipe d'escrocs en coulisses, et la victime gagnait inévitablement au début pour gagner sa confiance. »À lire aussiAsie: la lutte s'intensifie contre les centres d'arnaques en ligneUne exploitation humaine jusqu'au bout Xu raconte que de nombreux Chinois étaient enfermés dans ces camps, et que le flot d'arrivées ne cessait jamais. Tous les jours, dit-il, on venait sélectionner certains individus : « Nous devions porter des menottes et ils nous donnaient deux repas par jour, juste des restes de nourriture dans des boîtes en papier. »La violence était omniprésente : « Ils frappaient ceux qui résistaient, car beaucoup de gardiens étaient des mercenaires armés de fusils et de matraques électriques. Toute résistance était vaine, et ceux qui essayaient mais qui échouaient étaient enchaînés.Si vous n'étiez pas choisi dans les 30 jours, ils vous emmenaient dehors dans un véhicule, à Myawaddy ou à la frontière thaïlandaise, pour se faire prélever les organes. Deux reins pouvaient se vendre 500 000 yuans (plus de 63 000 euros). Si vous étiez jugé ''qualifié'', ils vous exploitaient au maximum.Si vous n'étiez pas sélectionné, ils vous forçaient à déverrouiller votre téléphone en scannant votre visage. Ils chargeaient votre téléphone, le connectaient au Wi-Fi et utilisaient votre visage pour accéder à des applications chinoises telles que WeChat, Alipay et des cartes bancaires, pour transférer le plus d'argent possible. »Des méthodes d'intimidation à la punition physiqueCeux qui résistaient étaient sévèrement punis, raconte-t-il. « Le premier jour, les gardes ont tiré sur 11 personnes dans la cour. Quatre sont mortes sur le coup. Sept d'entre elles étaient encore en vie. Là, ils ont trouvé une autre victime qui prétendait être vétérinaire en Chine continentale et lui ont demandé de déterrer les balles sur leurs corps. Le processus était diffusé en direct sur Telegram.Ils nous montraient aussi des vidéos d'autres centres d'escroquerie pour nous montrer des gens se faire punir. Ils utilisaient de l'eau bouillante pour la verser sur les orteils de quelqu'un, puis pliaient les articulations en arrière, et tout était diffusé en direct via des comptes Telegram et WeChat.Ils utilisaient cela comme une forme d'intimidation, en particulier sur ceux qui venaient d'être vendus. C'était une façon de donner l'exemple, à la fois pour les personnes sur place et pour les autres qui participaient à différentes opérations frauduleuses et qui regardaient la diffusion en direct. C'est ce genre de choses qui fait que les gens craquent complètement après y avoir passé un certain temps. »La famille de Xu a réussi à négocier son retour en Chine, après avoir en tout payé, en plusieurs étapes. Une liberté recouvrée pour un montant de près d'un million de yuans, soit près de 130 000 euros.À lire aussiDes centaines de «cyberesclaves» libérés d'un centre d'escroquerie en Birmanie

How does social media shape perceptions of global cultural trends? On Chinese platforms like WeChat, the concept of Nordic Style (北欧风) has been widely adopted—but often in an oversimplified and commercialized form. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Dr. Heidi Hui Shi discusses her research on digital misinformation and the portrayal of Nordic aesthetics in China. Through corpus linguistics, sentiment analysis, and digital storytelling (DST), Dr. Shi examines how consumer narratives influence public understanding of Nordic design. She highlights the challenges posed by misinformation, the dominance of commercial narratives, and the role of independent creators in countering misleading portrayals. The conversation also explores the broader implications for cultural exchange and how Nordic brands can more effectively engage with Chinese consumers. Dr. Heidi Hui Shi is an Assistant Professor in Chinese at the University of Turku, Finland. This episode is hosted by Hanna Holttinen, University Teacher in Chinese at the University of Turku, Finland.

This week, we are joined by Ismael Valenzuela, VP of Threat Research & Intelligence, and Jacob Faires, Principal Threat Researcher, from Blackberry discussing the team's work on "LightSpy: APT41 Deploys Advanced DeepData Framework In Targeted Southern Asia Espionage Campaign." In April 2024, BlackBerry uncovered a significant evolution of the LightSpy malware campaign, attributed to Chinese cyber-espionage group APT41. The newly introduced DeepData framework, a modular Windows-based surveillance tool, expands data theft capabilities with 12 specialized plugins for tasks like communication surveillance, credential theft, and system intelligence gathering. The campaign targets a wide range of communication platforms, including WhatsApp, Signal, and WeChat, with advanced techniques for monitoring and stealing sensitive information from victims across the Asia-Pacific region.
