He was then roundly criticized in the U.S. and on Twitter for apologizing for the apparent slip of the tongue, by recording a personal message in Chinese.

The country’s foreign ministry announced the decision to sanction Pelosi and members of her family on Friday morning in a statement and called the Democrat’s recent actions “provocative” and “vicious.” “Despite China’s serious concerns and firm opposition, Pelosi insisted on visiting Taiwan, seriously interfering in China’s internal affairs, undermining China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, trampling on the one-China policy, and threatening the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait,” a spokesperson for the foreign ministry said in a statement....

This discourse might resume now that the Chinese government controls a stake in TikTok’s parent company ByteDance. While this partial ownership will not necessarily affect the TikTok app or user experience, it is one part of a more significant push for greater state control over the country’s growing technology sector.

Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers will be a mystery film of sorts in which Chip and Dale reunite after decades apart to investigate a series of cartoon characters going missing.

The scene features dozens of plastic evidence bags featuring pieces of cartoon characters, whether it’s their hats, gloves, hair, or even their noses and ears....

France’s current president, Jacques Chirac, likens himself more to Charles de Gaulle than to Mitterrand. But never mind. The message is the same. America and France are at war–and it’s no secret anymore. With the conflict winding down in Iraq, both sides are assessing the fallout from their diplomatic battles. The French–85 percent of whom opposed the war–are beginning to realize the consequences of dissent. “If Jacques Chirac persists in making the U....

You may have heard me whittling on about wireless charging before. I love how simple it is to just throw down my phone when it’s running out of power, and then pick it up when I need to use it, without fiddling about with cables. But I’ve always had one problem with Qi wireless pads: they’re slow, with most having a maximum output of 5W. If you’ve got time to wait for your phone to charge then great, but if you’re in a rush you’re better off plugging it into a mains charger....

Christie is well placed to relate to the predicament of Cruz as he faces criticism for travelling to Mexico while millions in his state froze in darkness after a snowstorm.
