Couverture récente
Rusko znovu útočilo na Ukrajinu, Kyjev truchlí po masivním úderu
Selon les autorités ukrainiennes, au moins deux personnes ont été tuées et huit blessées dans des frappes aériennes russes sur la région de Sumy et Kryvyj Rih en Ukraine dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi. Cela fait suite à une attaque russe à grande échelle sur Kiev plus tôt dans la semaine qui a tué au moins 30 personnes et en a blessé environ 100 autres. En réponse aux attaques, l'Ukraine a mené des frappes de missiles sur Belgorod en Russie, provoquant un incendie dans une installation énergétique et tuant une femme, selon les médias russes. La frappe nocturne sur la ville de Romny dans la région de Sumy a frappé un immeuble résidentiel, tuant deux femmes et blessant un homme, a rapporté l'administrateur régional Oleh Hryhorov via Telegram. Sept autres personnes ont été blessées dans une frappe de missile sur Kryvyj Rih, selon l'administrateur militaire de la ville Oleksandr Vilkulov.
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.

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.

The mother of Siranudh 'Psi' Scott, a 29-year-old heir to Thailand's Singha beer fortune, has withdrawn her lawsuit against him under a 1908 filial duty law. The case was initiated by Chiranuj Bhirombhakdi, who accused Psi of being an 'ungrateful child.' The lawsuit followed public outrage over Psi's allegations of sexual abuse against his older brother Sunit, which led to a family crisis and Sunit's removal from executive roles at the family's brewery.

Carlson’s split with Republicans to deepen rifts in US right, Chinese think tank says
A Chinese think tank has stated that Tucker Carlson's departure from the Republican Party and his criticism of President Donald Trump could worsen divisions within the U.S. right wing and harm the party's chances in the upcoming midterm elections. Carlson, a prominent conservative commentator, has criticized the administration's actions, particularly the decision to engage in conflict with Iran. He plans to help establish a new political party but does not intend to run for office himself. The think tank argues that Carlson's exit reflects growing internal conflicts within the conservative movement, especially regarding Trump's policies on Iran and the economy. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former congresswoman, supported Carlson's stance, claiming many conservatives feel betrayed by the party.
As the US marks its 250th birthday, it operates an empire in all but name

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.
Les introductions en bourse de Hong Kong survolent la vague technologique chinoise, mais le Nasdaq est en tête avec le tsunami de SpaceX
Au cours du premier semestre 2026, Hong Kong a connu une augmentation significative de la collecte de fonds pour les introductions en bourse, avec un produit en hausse d'environ 84% par rapport à la même période en 2025. Malgré la perte de sa position de premier marché des introductions en bourse au Nasdaq, principalement en raison de la cotation massive de 75 milliards de dollars de SpaceX, la région reste une plaque tournante financière offshore cruciale pour les entreprises chinoises.
