Ottawa and Washington's sailing of the Taiwan Strait leads to Chinese military drills as Canada identifies Indian Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah for leading killing operations in Canada.
China launched live-fire exercises in the Taiwan Strait after the U.S. and Canada conducted a joint sailing of the waterway in the last two weeks. It marked the fourth joint transit of the Strait by the two countries in less than two years.

When Li Wei took over the running of his father‘s glass-making business in northern China‘s Cangzhou in 2020, he immediately set about optimising the firm‘s operations.
Much of Li‘s success is owed to the demand for his products in the United States, which in recent years has been the destination for as much as 80 percent of his company‘s exports.
But now, Li and his colleagues are concerned that their success could all come crashing down if former US President Donald Trump is re-elected to the White House on November 5.

In the year leading up to July, 228 major pieces of disinformation were targeted at Chinese-speaking users in a similar manner, garnering more than 4m views, a report from Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) found. And there has been a recent surge of anti-Harris misinformation.
The dissemination is called “platform jump”, when English misinformation is translated into Chinese and then shared on platforms with a higher concentration of Chinese-Americans, said Jinxia Niu, CAA‘s program manager of digital engagement.
“The goal of racialized disinformation when it comes to elections is to suppress voter turnout in the fastest-growing electorate in the US or sway them to vote a certain way,” said Dorothy He, communications director at the National Council of Asian
Pacific Americans (NCAPA).

China released an annual climate action report on Wednesday, outlining the country's new initiatives for tackling climate change, and stating China's position and proposals regarding the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), according to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE).
The report of China's policies and actions for addressing climate change has been compiled each year since 2008. This year's report comprehensively showcases the progress and achievements in policies, measures and key initiatives across various sectors in response to climate change since 2023, demonstrating China's responsible attitude, Xia Yingxian, an official with the MEE, said at Wednesday's press briefing.

Most architects look to control nature; Kongjian Yu wants it to take over.
Intense storms are on the rise and cities across the world are finding it difficult to cope with deluges of floodwater. But instead of using high-tech, concrete-based engineering solutions to defend against the vagaries of the climate crisis, the Chinese landscape architect and urban planner lets nature do the work.

In a granite cavern deep beneath the forested hills of southern China, workers will soon complete a 600-ton sphere that could crack open some of the deepest mysteries of modern physics.
The plexiglass sphere is the centerpiece of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, or JUNO, a $300 million facility designed to measure neutrinos, the smallest subatomic particles known to physicists.
Sometimes called “ghost particles,” neutrinos are invisible and nearly massless, and they travel at close to the speed of light. They come in three mass states, the biggest of which is estimated to have one-millionth the mass of an electron. Neutrinos can pass through the Earth and other matter without interacting with it, which is a large part of the reason they have thus far
remained elusive for physicists.

On October 14, Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei met with the ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest) chairman, coaches, and winning contestants.
During the meeting, Ren responded to questions from contestants from various countries, addressing the unique characteristics of each nation and sharing his views on AI and youth entrepreneurship.
Ren emphasized that while the world may be filled with conflict, theory remains open, and scientific research knows no borders; only engineering and technology are constrained by borders, as companies may choose not to disclose developments in these areas.

While China’s engagement in Africa’s infrastructure sector has generated a burgeoning scholarship, fieldwork-based, full-length monographs with a comparative perspective remain few. The Railpolitik: Leadership and Agency in Sino-African Infrastructure Development (Oxford University Press, 2023) falls into this rare category. This book takes a deep dive into the political context of the three African countries where Chinese funding and contractors have been involved in building high-profile railway projects promising to transform the local landscape: Kenya, Ethiopia, and Angola. In analysing variations in the timeliness of the projects’ completion and their safe operation, Yuan Wang identifies as a key factor the
instrumentalisation of the infrastructure by local leaders for the sake of their political survival.
