Support Diyaa: A Home, a Future, and Hope Lost in Gaza
Hello everyone , My name is Diyaa , I am 28 years old, and I live in Gaza—or at least, I used to. I am the sole provider for my family of 9 people, including my wife.Chuffed
"U.S. researchers face new restrictions on publishing with foreign collaborators."
science.org/content/article/u-…
"Grants managers at two of the U.S. government’s largest funders of scientific research have recently placed unprecedented limitations on the ability of U.S. scientists to publish with co-authors from other countries, researchers say. Units of the National Institutes of Health (#NIH) are privately directing grantees to request permission in advance for any co-authorship with a scholar affiliated with a foreign institution, even if all the work was done in the United States. #NASA, meanwhile, is reportedly telling some grantees that papers co-authored with researchers in #China may have violated its rules."

Hongkonger in space!
Per Chinese practice, the crew was announced one day before the planned launch date. The mission will be commanded by Zhu Yangzhu, who previously flew on Shenzhou 16. Lai Ka-ying will become the first Hongkonger in space as payload specialist in the Shenzhou 23 mission.
Unlike previous six-month missions, the CMSA has announced that one astronaut from Shenzhou 23 is expected to stay in space for a full year. This would allow a Pakistani astronaut to visit Tiangong during the Shenzhou 24 mission scheduled for October 2026.
A Pakistani taikonaut, rather?. I think the spacing nation defines the noun.

It's pretty interesting to see #China order a #US company to unwind the purchase of another company in #Singapore, after it was already complete.

So, I noticed something about #Trump’s trip to #China, because I tend to pay attention to #bioethics stuff. Amongst all the panopticon bros was a solitary biotech executive; Jacob #Thaysen, CEO of #Illumina.
Illumina holds the patents that mean 80% of the world’s #genomic analysis is done via their products or databases.
According to #CIA agents, the #US left the #WHO so we didn’t have to admit that we’d funded the Chinese lab where #COVID seems to have originated.
Leaving the WHO also means Illumina no longer has to share their data with public health experts. And they’ve been first on the ground in both #hantavirus and #Ebola to sequence these outbreaks. #African countries must sign away their #genome rights before America will pay the health budget Congress authorized. So, that’s fun.
And once again, as I start digging, the #DreyDossier brings receipts. She’s a hella investigator.
You know they’re just laughing it up about how easily #Trump can be manipulated.
#Putin visits #China to reaffirm #Russia ties after #Xi - Trump summit
The Kremlin has said Putin & Xi plan to discuss economic cooperation between the two countries, but also “key international & regional issues.” The visit coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship signed in 2001.

#Trump shows his hand on Taiwan
“As more than one #China analyst put it this weekend, Taiwan is no longer at the negotiating table. It’s on the menu.
Reducing #Taiwan to a transaction also strips away the larger case for why any of this matters. America defends democracies. We defend allies.”

Trump shows his hand on Taiwan
Trump's Beijing summit lowered the temperature. It also raised the stakes.Elise Labott (Cosmopolitics by Elise Labott)
#Trump said a potential arms deal for #Taiwan was a “very good negotiating chip” in talks with #China. His words raise questions about the reliability of #US support. [there is no question, you can’t rely on it.]
Taiwan’s government has been waiting for months for Trump to sign off on a $14 billion package of missiles, anti-drone equipment & air-defense systems intended to fortify the island against Beijing’s military threats.
#Trump & #Xi wrap up summit claiming “progress” stabilizing #US - #China relations as differences persist
Trump said he had not yet made a determination on whether a major US sale of arms to #Taiwan can move forward. Speaking to reporters as he flew back on Air Force One, Trump said he’d not decided on the sale, but he added, “I will make a determination.”
The sale has already been authorized, but it has yet to move forward. China opposes the deal.

As the #Trump admin starves it of fuel oil, #Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest #solar revolutions on the planet — with #China’s help
“Renewable energy now makes up roughly 10% of Cuba’s electricity, up from around 3% in 2024.
“It’s a really, really rapid boom,” Graham said.
The country has pledged that figure will rise to at least 24% by 2030.”
Don’t expect a historic breakthrough from Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping.
But after years of tensions between the U.S. and China, just getting the two leaders in the same room could be important.

Trump-Xi summit will be no ‘Nixon in China’ moment – that they are talking is enough for now
Taiwan, trade and AI regulation are on the agenda. But will there be progress on any of these issues during Beijing sit-down?The Conversation
Since returning to the White House, #Trump has demonstrated great ambivalence toward #Taiwan, an approach that’s raising questions ahead of this week’s summit with #China President #Xi Jinping about whether the #US leader could be open to dialing back support for the island #democracy that Beijing views as its breakaway province. [as long as Trump gets something in return, cash, #semiconductors…, he’s open to it]

¡Ah! pero China... China repite las mismas dinámicas que Estados Unidos en cuanto al desarrollo de sus propios modelos comerciales de IA generativa. Y no, acá no aplica el refrán del ladrón con los 100 años de perdón. Hablamos de gigantes tecnológicos lucrando a costa de nuestros datos y obras.

Much damage has been done to our societies and the #climate due to #fossilFuels
The alternative was always there, but it was systematically destroyed
Appreciate the irony though:
Big Oil's decline has been ensured by their greatest triumph, #Trump
The stupid war on #Iran means every country will move off #oil
#China's #EV makers are kings of the world now
"‘The damage is done’: global oil crisis has changed fossil fuel industry for ever, #IEA chief says"

The #Trump admin is placing economic #sanctions on a major #China based #oil refinery & roughly 40 shipping companies & tankers involved in transporting #Iran oil.
The move, announced Friday makes good on Trump’s threat to impose secondary sanctions on companies & countries that do business with Iran. It’s also part of his #Republican admin’s overall ramped-up campaign to cut off Iran’s key source of revenue — its oil exports.
