China critic Jimmy Lai jailed 20 years in landmark Hong Kong case

Hong Kong media tycoon and prominent China critic Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in the city’s most high profile national security case. The ruling caps a legal battle that has lasted nearly five years and has drawn widespread international concern.​ Lai, the 78 year old founder of the now closed pro democracy newspaper Apple Daily, was convicted on two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and one count of publishing seditious materials. The judges said his offences fell within the harshest penalty tier for national security crimes of a grave nature.​ The court described Lai as the mastermind of what it called persistent collusion conspiracies seeking sanctions, blockades and other hostile acts against China by foreign governments, including the United States. Prosecutors said the network behind him involved Apple Daily staff, activists and […]

China warns citizens against Japan travel for Lunar New Year

China has urged its citizens to avoid travelling to Japan during next month’s Lunar New Year holiday, citing what it calls deteriorating public security and rising threats to Chinese nationals. The advisory comes amid a diplomatic spat after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested in November that Tokyo could intervene militarily if China attacked Taiwan.​ Beijing had already called on Chinese tourists to stay away from Japan following Takaichi’s comments, a move that contributed to a 45 percent year‑on‑year drop in Chinese visitors in December to around 330,000. Chinese tourists previously made up about a quarter of all foreign visitors, with nearly 7.5 million arrivals in the first nine months of 2025 and spending an estimated 3.7 billion dollars in the third quarter alone, helped by a weak yen.​ In a fresh statement on Monday, the foreign ministry’s Department of […]

North Korea tests hypersonic missiles, warns nuclear forces are war ready

North Korea says it has successfully test fired new hypersonic missiles under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un to prepare its nuclear forces for a possible war. State media said the launches were part of drills to place the country’s nuclear arsenal on a more practical, combat ready footing amid what Pyongyang called a worsening geopolitical crisis.​ According to reports, the missiles flew around 1,000 kilometres over waters east of North Korea, in what Seoul and Tokyo described as the country’s first ballistic missile test of the year. Hypersonic missiles travel at more than five times the speed of sound and can manoeuvre in flight, making them harder for existing air and missile defences to track or intercept.​ Kim said recent international events, including the U.S. military operation that removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, proved the need for a […]

Japan denies report Trump told PM not to provoke China

Japan has denied a media report claiming that United States President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Fumio Kishida not to provoke China over Taiwan during their recent talks in Washington. The report had suggested that Trump urged Japan to act cautiously on Taiwan so as not to increase tensions with Beijing.​ Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi dismissed the account when asked about it in Tokyo. He said it was not true that Trump had given such a warning to Kishida. Hayashi stressed that the discussions between the two leaders were consistent with Japan’s existing policy on China and Taiwan.​ The US and Japan have repeatedly said they want peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Both governments have also agreed to deepen security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region in response to China’s growing military activities.​ Hayashi declined to reveal detailed […]

China Warns Citizens to Stay Away from Japan Amid Diplomatic Tensions

China has issued a travel advisory urging its citizens to avoid Japan after a diplomatic row flared over Tokyo’s recent comments regarding Taiwan. The dispute began when Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told parliament that military action against Taiwan—a self-ruled island claimed by China—could prompt a Japanese response. China responded by summoning Japan’s ambassador and later warning Chinese nationals of “significant risks to personal safety” in Japan through its embassy’s official WeChat channel. Beijing criticized the “provocative remarks regarding Taiwan” and noted the damage to the atmosphere of people-to-people exchanges. In light of the advisory, China’s three biggest airlines—Air China, China Southern, and China Eastern—offered full refunds and changes on flights to Japan through December 2025. Japan’s government called China’s warning “inconsistent with the promotion of a strategic and mutually beneficial relationship” and has summoned China’s ambassador in response to […]

According to the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook (October 2025), here are the top ten countries with the highest government debt: United States – $38.27 trillionThe US has the world’s largest government debt, owing to decades of deficits and fiscal stimulus. Strong investor confidence keeps borrowing costs manageable. China – $18.68 trillionChina’s debt is driven by infrastructure investment and local government borrowing. Despite rising debt, substantial foreign reserves and investor demand stabilize costs. Japan – $9.83 trillionJapan exhibits one of the highest debt-to-GDP ratios due to stimulus spending and an aging population. Low interest rates help service its debt, but demographic challenges remain. United Kingdom – $4.09 trillionThe UK’s debt results from pandemic recovery spending and social program commitments.

Xi Jinping invites Canada PM Carney to China after years of frosty ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping has invited Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to visit China, marking the first official meeting between the two nations’ leaders since 2017. The invitation came during their talks at the APEC summit in South Korea on Friday. Relations between China and Canada have been strained for years, but Xi said recent efforts from both sides have shown “a recovery toward a trend of positive development.” He expressed China’s willingness to work with Canada to restore ties and deepen cooperation. Carney, accepting the invitation, acknowledged that both nations have been less engaged in recent years but said he believed “constructive and pragmatic dialogue” could help resolve their differences and build a more inclusive international system. Ties between the two countries deteriorated sharply in 2018 after the arrest of a senior Chinese telecom executive in Vancouver on a […]

Japan cancels ‘Africa Hometown’ project after visa mix-up with Nigeria

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has scrapped its “JICA Africa Hometown” initiative, citing widespread “misunderstandings and confusion” over the programme. The decision, announced in a statement on JICA’s website Thursday, comes weeks after claims circulated that Japan would create a special visa category for young Nigerians wishing to relocate to Kisarazu, a Japanese city designated as a “hometown” under the scheme. On August 26, the Nigerian presidency issued a statement saying Japan planned to introduce a visa route for highly skilled and innovative Nigerians to live and work in Kisarazu. The Japanese government quickly denied the report, stressing that the programme was never immigration-related. Clarifying its position, JICA said the terminology used—particularly the designation of Japanese municipalities as “hometowns”—sparked confusion and placed “an excessive burden” on the four host municipalities. The agency explained: “Originally, under this initiative, it was […]
