3 h. ago China’s Victory Day parade heralds new vision but old wounds linger

Eighty years on, the Global South’s pursuit of a just world order remains overshadowed by the unresolved legacies of the second world war.

He urged nations to learn from history to prevent a repeat of the catastrophe that engulfed the world eight decades ago. In the lead-up to the commemoration, concerns intensified over Japan’s perceived lack of genuine remorse for...

China has significantly closed the gap with the US in artificial intelligence development, but remains years behind in cutting-edge semiconductors, according to analysts at investment group Citic CLSA. The China-US AI gap has narrowed to around three months from more than a year, thanks in part to the influx of AI talent, fast technology iteration and a boom in AI applications on the mainland, said Tony Zhang, head of China technology research at CLSA, in a media briefing on Tuesday.

After months of being pummelled with trade tariffs and security threats from the United States and years of pushing back against a rising China, the European Union on Tuesday sounded a death knell for the global rules-based order.

The US is proposing annual approvals for exports of chipmaking supplies to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix factories in China, a compromise aimed at preventing disruptions to the global electronics industry after Trump officials revoked Biden-era waivers that let the companies more easily get such shipments.

47 h. ago Remembering the Chinese war pain deemed unworthy in the West

On September 3, I watched the live broadcast of China’s military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II. The perfectly aligned formations, the roaring fighter jets, the cutting-edge unmanned combat systems – the spectacle spoke for itself. Scanning international media, I found commentary interpreting the parade as a show of force by China and Russia against the United States, or warning about the Taiwan Strait and wider region.
