Afiliación y postura
De propiedad privada corporativa en lugar de propiedad estatal, pero su propietario de China continental, Alibaba, opera bajo la presión regulatoria y política de Beijing, y los críticos dicen que la cobertura de China se ha suavizado desde la adquisición.

At least two people were killed and eight injured in Russian air strikes on the Sumy region and Kryvyj Rih in Ukraine during the night of Thursday to Friday, according to Ukrainian authorities. This follows a large-scale Russian attack on Kyiv earlier in the week which killed at least 30 people and injured around 100 others. In response to the attacks, Ukraine conducted missile strikes on Belgorod in Russia, causing a fire at an energy facility and killing one woman, according to Russian media.

America’s first sphere of influence becomes the test of its power at 250
This article discusses the evolving U.S.-China rivalry in the Western Hemisphere, highlighting how both nations are asserting their influence. As the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary, it faces challenges from China's growing presence in regions like Brazil and Mexico. During the 2024 presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump downplayed concerns about this shift, claiming the U.S. was 'blowing everyone away.' However, his administration later took a more assertive stance by designating the Western Hemisphere as an 'American Homeland Security Zone,' drawing parallels to the Monroe Doctrine. In response, China released a policy paper rejecting 'hegemonism' and emphasizing its non-subordinate relationships with Latin American countries. The article frames the competition between the two superpowers as a renewed contest for regional dominance.

Alibaba bans staff from using Claude Code over Anthropic spyware concerns
Alibaba Group Holding has banned its employees from using Anthropic's Claude Code due to security concerns stemming from Anthropic's past use of hidden code to track Chinese users. The decision follows revelations by security researchers who identified potential backdoor risks in the software. Alibaba stated that Claude Code has been classified as high-risk software with security vulnerabilities and will be prohibited for use in the office starting July 10. The issue arose from Anthropic's embedding of code in its platform that could secretly determine if a user was located in China or associated with a Chinese AI laboratory. Alibaba, which owns the South China Morning Post, did not immediately respond to requests for further comment.

China’s satellite engine smashes record, leaves US rival far behind
China has successfully tested a new satellite engine with a record-breaking operational duration, marking a significant advancement in aerospace propulsion technology. The engine, developed by the China Academy of Aerospace Propulsion Technology, produced 750 newtons of thrust and operated for over 14 hours during testing, surpassing the typical seven-hour design limit of existing engines like the US-made R-42DM and Europe’s Leros-1B. This achievement allows for more efficient and reliable deployment of large communications, military, and deep-space satellites. The engine was used in a mission to place the Communications Technology Experiment Satellite 26A into orbit approximately 35,800 km above Earth. The extended operation was made possible through a specialized heat- and oxidation-resistant coating, ensuring performance remained unaffected despite the longer runtime.

Putin reconoce las tarjetas de petróleo por primera vez
El presidente ruso Vladimir Putin reconoció por primera vez que Rusia está construyendo "algunas reservas de petróleo" durante una reunión centrada en temas energéticos. Enfatizó la necesidad de fortalecer la producción nacional de petróleo y aumentar la producción. Mientras tanto, las fuerzas ucranianas continuaron sus ataques contra la infraestructura energética rusa, detonando una planta de purificación de petróleo en la región sureña de Krasnodar, que produce alrededor de cuatro millones de toneladas de petróleo crudo anualmente. La región de Krasnodar es una de las mayores áreas productoras de petróleo de Rusia ubicada cerca del Mar Negro. El martes, las fuerzas ucranianas lanzaron ataques aéreos a gran escala contra Sebastopol, la ciudad más grande de Crimea, incluidos ataques a instalaciones petroleras. En respuesta, Rusia, que anexó Crimea en 2014, ha restringido las ventas de combustible al público para contrarrestar la escasez de energía. Según estos ataques, no ha habido informes en la línea del frente. Durante una entrevista con una estación de televisión estatal rusa, Putin describió los ataques a la infraestructura ucraniana como un intento de desestabilizar la sociedad petrolera rusa.

Merz hits back at Trump for ridiculing Germany’s defence spending drive
Chancellor Friedrich Merz defended Germany's defense spending increase, countering criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump who called Germany's efforts 'ridiculous.' Merz emphasized that Germany is doubling its defense budget within four years, stating it is the country's greatest effort to strengthen defense capabilities. The discussion comes ahead of NATO meetings in Ankara, where European nations aim to address tensions with Trump over issues like Iran and Greenland while demonstrating increased commitment to collective defense. Trump criticized NATO allies' defense spending on social media, arguing that the U.S. should not follow a 'one-sided path' and highlighting that Germany's spending remains significantly lower than the U.S. or other NATO members.

Anwar vows Malaysia to pursue Jho Low over 1MDB despite potential US pardon
Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated that his country will continue pursuing Jho Low, the alleged orchestrator of the 1MDB corruption scandal, regardless of whether Low receives a potential U.S. presidential pardon. Jho Low was charged in 2018 for conspiracy to launder billions from Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund and violating anti-bribery laws. He is accused of using illicit funds to acquire luxury assets, including a superyacht and high-end art. The 1MDB scandal, initiated by former Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2009, led to widespread public outrage and contributed to his ousting in the 2018 election. Low had requested clemency from then-President Donald Trump, who may consider pardoning him as part of commemorating America's 250th Independence Day. Anwar emphasized that any decision regarding Low's pardon lies solely with the U.S. authorities.

Carlson se separó de los republicanos para profundizar las divisiones en los EE.UU., dice el think tank chino
Un grupo de expertos chino ha declarado que la salida de Tucker Carlson del Partido Republicano y sus críticas al presidente Donald Trump podrían empeorar las divisiones dentro del ala derecha estadounidense y dañar las posibilidades del partido en las próximas elecciones de mitad de período. Carlson, un destacado comentarista conservador, ha criticado las acciones de la administración, particularmente la decisión de entrar en conflicto con Irán. Planea ayudar a establecer un nuevo partido político, pero no tiene la intención de postularse para el cargo. El grupo de expertos argumenta que la salida de Carlson refleja los crecientes conflictos internos dentro del movimiento conservador, especialmente con respecto a las políticas de Trump sobre Irán y la economía. Marjorie Taylor Greene, una ex congresista, apoyó la postura de Carlson, alegando que muchos conservadores se sienten traicionados por el partido.

Make Hong Kong China’s ‘space finance capital’, legal group urges Beijing
An independent legal group, the Asian Academy of International Law, has proposed that Hong Kong be designated as China's 'space finance capital' to support the commercial development of the aerospace sector under the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030). The group suggests Hong Kong leverage its status as an international financial center, common-law jurisdiction, and connectivity hub to serve as a strategic gateway for China's commercial space activities. It recommends establishing a space asset registration and finance ordinance to provide legal certainty for financing space-related assets. The proposal highlights Hong Kong's role in providing capital markets, legal infrastructure, and global connectivity, while mainland China would focus on technology, manufacturing, and sovereign capabilities. The idea aligns with Beijing's growing emphasis on aerospace as a key driver of innovative productivity, spurred by increased public interest following the selection of Lai Ka-ying as Hong Kong's first astronaut.

Las OPI de Hong Kong están en la ola tecnológica de China, pero el Nasdaq lidera con el tsunami de SpaceX
En la primera mitad de 2026, Hong Kong vio un aumento significativo en la recaudación de fondos de la OPI, con ganancias que aumentaron aproximadamente un 84% en comparación con el mismo período en 2025. A pesar de perder su posición como el principal mercado de OPI a Nasdaq, principalmente debido a la masiva lista de $ 75 mil millones de SpaceX, la región sigue siendo un centro financiero offshore crucial para las empresas chinas. Un total de 83 compañías recaudaron $ 26.420 millones a través de OPI en la junta principal de Hong Kong, con emisores chinos que representan el 98.5% de las ganancias totales. Las empresas de tecnología fueron particularmente prominentes, representando el 53.1% de los fondos de OPI en 31 acuerdos. Los analistas notaron que Hong Kong continúa atrayendo a los líderes tecnológicos chinos que buscan recaudar capital, mientras que Nasdaq siguió siendo el líder mundial en la recaudación de fondos de OPI.
