The GemiBook laptop is in keeping with the manufacturer’s philosophy, packing premium specs and attractive design into a highly affordable package. The 13in 2160×1400 display is the highlight, sporting the 3:2 aspect ratio popularised by the likes of Microsoft and Dell. It’s only IPS and not OLED, but that can easily be forgiven at this price point, particularly when the bezels are so tiny. The hinge allows for up to 180 degrees of rotation, offering more flexibility than we’ve come to expect on clamshell laptops, and there’s still room for a full-size keyboard....

It’s a day that will go down in NFL history; the day the Texans blew a 24-0 lead and went on to lose 51-31 to the Chiefs in an AFC divisional matchup. It was a game the Chiefs had no business winning based on their performance in the first quarter: muffed punts, dropped passes, fumbles and more led to a 21-0 Houston lead. Then, the Chiefs started scoring in bunches, putting 28 points on the board in the second quarter and taking a 28-24 lead into halftime....

Gonzalo Higuian scored both goals in the victory in Monaco. But equally impressive was the performance of Chiellini, the Juventus defence and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who combined to keep the high-powered Monaco attack scoreless. And Chiellini acknowledged that such a strong result away from home puts Juventus in prime position to make the Champions League final. Higuain delivers for classy Juve “2-0 away for us is a very important result,” Chiellini told RTE after the game....

Snake catcher Gianni Hodgson visited the school in Victoria state on Tuesday after receiving a call about the venomous stowaway.

In a Facebook post, which showed the enormous reptile, Hodgson said: “This red bellied black snake was found in a student’s backpack at a school in Stawell this afternoon....

“They are always an afterthought,” attorney Jeremy McKinney told Newsweek about the children affected by ICE’s operations. McKinney serves on the executive committee of the American Immigration Lawyer Association and founded an immigration law firm in North Carolina. “ICE, in its history, has never engaged in any kind of planning to account for the U.S. citizen children that are left behind. These operations seem to happen at a place of ICE’s choosing without consideration for the children,” McKinney said....

“They had her wear a hoodie to cover up,” Kate Darrow, the mother of the 9-year-old student, told Action News Jax in an interview on Monday. “Right there, I knew that that was an issue…It’s 2019 and that’s not something I want my daughter to be taught,” she said. Rather than calling the Callahan Intermediate School to complain about the incident, however, Darrow’s family decided to design some shirts of their own that would send a clear message to the school, with the help of other students....

In a warning notice published on its website on Tuesday, China’s General Administration of Customs listed 81 imported children’s clothing products that were flagged for quality and safety risks during the agency’s annual examinations. Between June 2020 and May 2021, nine batches of H&M woven cotton girls’ dresses were found by customs authorities to contain what they said were dyes or other harmful substances that could be ingested or absorbed through skin....

The Chinese government’s massive network—made up of state officials, state media and an army of paid Chinese netizens (sometimes called the “50 Cent Army”)—has disseminated Russia’s fabricated claims about its invasion and occupation of Ukraine. In addition, the Chinese government and its cohorts have cleverly repackaged Russia’s lies, adding feigned nuance or depth to them, essentially making the CCP a willing conspirator of the Kremlin. A good example is the false claim that the United States is manufacturing biological weapons in Ukraine....

China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that poultry in the Shuangqing District of Shaoyang City, in the Hunan province of southern China, had fallen ill. Hunan borders Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak of the coronavirus known as 2019-nCoV. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) website, H5N1 “causes a highly infectious, severe respiratory disease in birds.” China’s Animal Epidemic Prevention and Control Center alerted the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to an avian flu outbreak on Saturday, according to the statement....

Amihan National Chairperson Zenaida Soriano said that Independence Day “is a reminder that the national fight against colonizers and foreign oppressors is a fundamental part of Philippine history.” China controversially claims much of the South China Sea as its own, including portions the Philippines also claims. “We are not really free and independent. Foreign-dictates over our national economy, politics, culture and way of life persist,” Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas said in a statement....

This is the dark side of China’s booming economy. The world’s most populous nation is undergoing a high-speed industrial revolution, transforming the country in record time. But this economic engine needs energy to keep it going. And in China, that almost always means coal. China produces and consumes nearly 1 billion tons of it every year, accounting for a quarter of the world’s supply. Coal fuels the factories that have sprouted along China’s coastline, heats the houses being built across its countryside and feeds the power plants churning out electricity for its expanding cities....

Given that there are over 70 million PUBG players in China alone, it has been estimated that it would have been able to generate $1.48 billion from in-app purchases, which is why it makes sense from a business perspective for Tencent to shut down the game without this source of income. However, the publisher soon released a replacement in the form of Game For Peace, which is almost identical to PUBG, apart from a few details here and there....

Speaking virtually from Beijing, Xi’s address at the World Economic Forum on Monday included his view of the world as “undergoing major changes unseen in a century.” The world, he said, was “in a new period of turbulence and transformation.” When he addressed Davos last year, it had only been days since Biden’s inauguration. Xi cautioned against forming “cliques” and stoking a “new Cold War” after his American counterpart vowed to reinforce U....

In an interview with the state-owned Xinhua news agency and CCTV, the foreign minister said U.S. behavior on issues including Taiwanese independence was undermining bilateral ties and damaging Washington’s reputation. “The U.S. continues to stir up trouble on issues concerning China’s sovereignty, security and development interests, causing harm and damage to bilateral relations,” Wang said, according to a transcript posted on the website of China’s embassy in Washington, D.C....

The island nation has experienced a marked escalation in intimidation by the People’s Liberation Army since Tsai Ing-wen first took office in 2016. In a speech welcoming the envoys on Thursday, she said Taiwan was ready to work with the U.S. to safeguard peace in the region. The unofficial diplomatic assignment led by former Senator Chris Dodd and accompanied by Richard Armitage and James Steinberg—former deputy heads of the State Department under George W....

“There’s a car parked at the entrance to the pits, if we go off we’re going to hit it,” the Briton told his team over the radio during Saturday’s session. Button, the 2009 world champion and Formula One’s most experienced active driver with 286 starts under his belt, called it the “most dangerous part” of the opening 18-minute phase of qualifying.

China’s Zou Shiming makes his professional debut on Saturday in Macau, setting out on a journey that the two-time Olympic champion and his US promoters believe will end in a world title and global fame. Already a huge name in his homeland — where boxing was banned under Mao Zedong — the three-time world amateur champion faces the little-known Eleazar Valenzuela in a non-title bout that tops the “Fists of Gold” bill....

China remains one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest international allies amid the invasion, which drew large international rebuke when Putin launched his “special military operation” on the Eastern European country on February 24. More than seven months later, Putin’s military has struggled to achieve any substantial goals in the invasion, with Ukraine claiming to have retaken thousands of square miles of Russian-occupied territory. China Daily, a news website owned by the Chinese Communist Party, published an editorial on Sunday condemning the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for plans to conduct a nuclear “determent” exercise in late October amid rising nuclear tensions....
