I believe that China is a threat to the United States and to the international community. I also believe it’s more than just a competitor, as president Biden has said, and it’s more than just an adversary. It is actually our enemy. We don’t need to speculate about that because in May 2019, People’s Daily, the most authoritative publication in China, declared a “people’s war” on the U.S. That’s more than just rhetoric....
“It is nonsense,” the researcher reportedly said during an interview with CGTN, a state-controlled media outlet. The voiceover was narrated by the website. Suggestions that hackers aligned with the Chinese government had been targeting virus research surfaced in recent weeks, including from the U.S. federal government. Experts say that Russia-linked adversaries are conducting similar cyber-operations. In late July, Reuters reported that hackers with ties to the Chinese state had attempted to infiltrate U....
As many of Asia’s markets continued to struggle late last week, stocks in China started to bounce back, highlighting just how volatile China’s market has become—and just what a challenge it presents to Beijing, which is anxious to keep the country’s hot, semicapitalist economy growing as it heads into the 2008 Olympics. The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges are critical to the ruling Communist Party’s development plans, because they provide a channel for enterprising Chinese firms to raise capital and a way to gradually privatize inefficient state-run companies....
The China National Space Administration has named its rover Zhurong, after the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology. The CNSA announced the name last month, saying it echoed “the Chinese name of the red planet, Huoxing, meaning the planet of fire.” The rover has been in orbit around Mars since February aboard the Tianwen-1 spacecraft, China’s first fully domestic Mars mission. Now Tianwen-1 will send a lander and rover to the surface of the planet....
The newspaper—which is an official newspaper for the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and boasts 7 million followers on Twitter—wrote “HaHa” and included a laughing emoji as a reply to Trump’s earlier tweet declaring he won the election, just hours before Joe Biden was announced as the projected winner. Trump’s tweet was immediately flagged by Twitter for falsely indicating a winner of the hotly contested race before it was officially called....
As clashes between the now-ruling Tatmadaw junta and opponents worsen in the wake of Aung San Suu Kyi’s ouster in early February, Chinese officials have sought to temper international intervention in the Southeast Asian state, pursuing instead their own path to reducing heated frictions there. Citing multiple sources, local news outlet The Irrawaddy reported Thursday that a counselor at the Chinese embassy in Yangon spoke via telephone last week with members of the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), a government-in-exile represented by Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD)....
Asked Wednesday to offer a reaction to a tightening contest between President Donald Trump and Democratic opponent Joe Biden set to extend through a second day, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told reporters, “We notice that the U.S. presidential election is still ongoing, and the result hasn’t come out yet.” He reiterated that Beijing had no preferred winner. “The U.S. presidential election is the country’s internal affair,” Wang said....
Researchers at China’s Aerodynamics Research and Development Center in Sichuan province have developed a new captive trajectory system (CTS) that holds an aircraft in place using robotic arms, according to the South China Morning Post, enabling them to test how the craft pitches and rolls in all possible directions at extremely high speeds, as well as how the high speeds affect the release of objects like missiles. This gives them the ability to test a prototype hypersonic bomber, the newspaper said....
Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Senior Colonel Wu Qian told a press briefing Wednesday in Beijing that “China is firmly opposed to the deployment of intermediate-range missiles by the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region.” The Pentagon was long barred from deploying such weapons as a result of a 1987 treaty with Russia but President Donald Trump’s administration left the deal last August and has since signaled a willingness to confront China, and China has threatened to retaliate....

As a result, Pittsburgh will have to play the rest of their game without their kicker. Chris Boswell has been ruled out for the rest of the game with a concussion. How did the injury happen? Cleveland did a great job of being ready for the Steelers’ trick play, playing a safe defense on the field goal attempt and covered all of Boswell’s receiving options on the play. That left the Steelers’ kicker scrambling around looking for anywhere to throw the ball....
Christie, who was among the first to endorse Trump when he ran for president in 2016, told Axios in an interview Sunday that he wanted to offer Trump advice on what he thought the former president needed to do on January 6.
