US bans new type of goods from China over allegations of forced labour

The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that it would ban the import of goods from a Chinese steel manufacturer and a Chinese maker of artificial sweetener, accusing both of being involved in the use of forced labour from China's far-west region of Xinjiang. The action broadens the scope of the US effort to counter products from entering the country that the government says are tied to human rights abuses. The additions to the entity list under the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act marks the first time a China-based steel company or aspartame sweetener business have been targeted by US law enforcement, DHS said. Today's actions reaffirm our commitment to eliminating forced labour from US supply chains and upholding our values of human rights for all, said Robert Silvers, undersecretary of Homeland Security for policy. No sector is off-limits. We will continue to identify entities across industries and hold accountable those who seek to profit from exploitation and

China's Communist Party has been in power for 75 years: Will it reach 100?

More than three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party of China retains a firm grip on power. The powerful and feared organization has ruled the nation home to close to one-fifth of the world's population for 75 years, surpassing the 74-year Soviet era in Russia. The party survived years of self-inflicted tumult after it took control in 1949. A major course correction in 1978 transformed the country into an industrial giant with an economy second in size only to the United States. Party leaders now want to build an even stronger China to achieve what they call the rejuvenation of the nation by 2049, which would mark the centennial of communist rule. Staying in power that long will depend on how they manage in an era of slower growth and intensifying competition with the United States, one that has raised the specter of a new cold war. The first quarter-century of communist rule in China wasn't pretty Mao Zedong, after declaring the founding of the .

China marks 75 years of Communist Party rule as challenges, threats linger

China is marking the 75th year of Communist Party rule as economic challenges and security threats linger over the massive state. No festivities have been announced for the occasion on Tuesday, save for a flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. In recent decades, China has mounted military parades and displays of the country's economic might only at the turn of decades, such as for the 60th and 70th anniversaries. The world's second largest economy has struggled to regain momentum after COVID-19. A prolonged property slump led to a spillover effect on other parts of the economy, from construction to sales of home appliances. Last week, China announced a slew of measures to boost the economy, including lower interest rates and smaller down payment requirements for mortgages. Party leader and head of state Xi Jinping has largely avoided overseas travel since the pandemic, while continuing with his purges at home of top officials considered insufficiently loyal or being suspected o

Kishida's legacy: Scandals at home, global respect for security, diplomacy

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will step down Tuesday, handing over leadership to his successor Shigeru Ishiba, who is expected to formally take office later in the day. He says he plans to call a snap election for October 27. Kishida's popularity ratings were precarious during most of his three-year term due to damaging corruption scandals that eventually led him to bow out. At home, Kishida was seen as a leader without a vision who compromised with powerful conservative nationalists within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to stay in power. But he has won respect outside Japan, especially from the United States, for pushing bold changes in Japanese defence and security policies and for standing tougher against Russia and China. Here is a lookback at Kishida's leadership and his legacy: Distress at home After taking office in October 2021, Kishida made a number of major decisions, such as reversing Japan's nuclear energy phase-out and pursuing a rapid military buildup.

Chinese scientists reverse type 1 diabetes with cell transplant: Report

Chinese scientists claimed to have cured a chronic type-1 diabetes patient using cell transplants in what was stated to be the first such case in the world. The patient, a 25-year-old woman who had the chronic condition for over a decade, was able to naturally regulate her blood sugar some two and half months after undergoing the minimally invasive surgery, the Shanghai-based Chinese news outlet, The Paper reported. According to the report carried by the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post, the surgery took just half an hour. The team behind the breakthrough published their findings in the peer-reviewed journal Cell last week. Researchers from Tianjin First Central Hospital and Peking University were among those who took part in the study, the report said. So far, islet transplant, which involves removing islet cells from the pancreas of a deceased donor and implanting them in the liver of someone with type 1 diabetes, is regarded as an effective clinical treatment but is ...
