Trump Moves to Blacklist Nations for Wrongful US Detentions

US President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order to create a blacklist of countries accused of unjustly detaining American citizens, introducing sweeping penalties including travel bans. The order establishes a new designation — “state sponsors of wrongful detention” — mirroring the existing US list of state sponsors of terrorism. “With this EO you are signing today, you are drawing a line in the sand that US citizens will not be used as bargaining chips,” Trump aide Sebastian Gorka told reporters in the Oval Office. The Trump administration did not immediately disclose the countries likely to be listed, but a senior US official confirmed that China, Iran, and Afghanistan were under review for what Washington calls “persistent hostage diplomacy.” Countries designated under the new system could face sanctions, export controls, and visa bans for officials complicit in wrongful imprisonment.

China to levy temporary tariffs on EU pork imports

China announced on Friday that it will impose temporary duties on pork imports from the European Union, citing evidence of dumping practices. The move follows a year-long investigation launched by Beijing after the EU began scrutinizing Chinese subsidies for its electric vehicle industry. “Investigating authorities have preliminarily determined that imports of pork and pig by-products originating in the European Union are being dumped,” the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement. As a result, Beijing will apply provisional anti-dumping measures in the form of deposits, with duties ranging from 15.6% to 62.4%, starting September 10. The duties remain provisional until the ministry concludes its full investigation, which has been extended until December. The decision adds new tension to already strained China–EU relations, shaped by disputes over trade, technology, and the fallout from Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Beijing has maintained […]

China Rejects Trump, EU Claims of Anti-US, Anti-West Plot

China has dismissed allegations by former U.S. President Donald Trump and European Union diplomat Kaja Kallas that it is conspiring with Russia and North Korea to challenge the West. The accusations followed a large military parade in Beijing marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, where Chinese President Xi Jinping was joined by Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: “Give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.” Responding on Thursday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said the presence of foreign leaders at the event was meant to honor history and promote peace. “It is to work together with peace-loving countries to remember history, cherish the martyrs, and create the future.

Xi Jinping Stages Power Play With Putin and Kim at Beijing Parade

As cannon fire rang out over Tiananmen Square, the defining moment of the day wasn’t the soldiers marching or the weaponry on display. It was the sight of China’s President Xi Jinping greeting North Korea’s Kim Jong Un with a prolonged handshake, followed by Russia’s Vladimir Putin, before seating himself between the two heavily sanctioned leaders. The spectacle, carefully staged, was more about politics than pageantry. US President Donald Trump appeared rattled, posting on Truth Social to accuse Xi, Kim and Putin of conspiring against America just as the parade began. Analysts suggest this may have been exactly the provocation Xi intended. By placing Putin on his right and Kim on his left, Xi projected an image of an eastern-led alliance challenging the US-dominated world order. The symbolism went beyond military strength. It underscored China’s growing influence and Xi’s ambition […]

China Unveils Advanced Weapons in Military Parade Seen as Warning to U.S.

China has showcased an extensive array of new weapons, drones and other military technology in a large-scale parade seen by many as a direct signal to the United States and its allies. The event, hosted by President Xi Jinping, brought together more than 20 foreign leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, underscoring Beijing’s influence on the global stage. Among the highlights were the so-called “Guam Killer” missile, advanced drones such as the “loyal wingman,” and even robotic wolves, all presented as part of China’s growing defence arsenal. Analysts say the display illustrates how far China’s defence industry has evolved over the past decade, moving from what were once considered crude imitations of Western technology to highly diverse and innovative systems. Experts note that China’s top-down system and vast resources give it the ability not only […]

Beijing parade: Xi Jinping’s display of power and ambition

Beijing is preparing for one of its most elaborate military parades in recent history, a carefully staged event that underscores President Xi Jinping’s ambition to project strength both at home and abroad. Eight giant Chinese flags now flank the portrait of Mao Zedong at Tiananmen Square, overlooking seating for 26 foreign leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Around 50,000 guests are expected as the Chinese capital transforms into a stage for political theatre and military might. The parade officially commemorates 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War II. But for Xi, it is far more than a historical remembrance; it is a statement of power. This week has already marked several breakthroughs for the Chinese leader. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Beijing for the first time in seven years. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation […]

China Opposes European Plan to Reinstate Sanctions on Iran nuclear programme

China has voiced opposition to fresh European sanctions on Iran’s nuclear programme, saying such measures would harm trust and undermine efforts to restart diplomatic talks. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday that sanctions “do not help parties build trust” and are “not conducive to the early resumption of negotiations.” His remarks came after Britain, France, and Germany — the E3 group — warned they would reimpose United Nations sanctions if no diplomatic breakthrough is reached by the end of August. The sanctions, lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal in exchange for limits on Iran’s programme, can be restored by any party to the agreement before it expires in October. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Thursday that Tehran is working with China and Russia to prevent the sanctions’ return. He warned that Iran has “tools to respond” […]
