Germany's Chancellor Merz: The election results and the reasons for these results go far beyond my own person. We are experiencing a profound transformation of the political party system in Germany, as we are in many other countries around the world.

Still, some analysts contend that the reversal does not signal broader policy tightening for the low-altitude economy, but rather a...

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to meet US President Donald Trump in Washington this week, after the May talks in Beijing and before the November Apec summit in Shenzhen.

It is no longer a secret that the world is experiencing what might be called a political earthquake. Political parties, particularly those in Europe that analysts regarded as the “parties of government” throughout the Cold War era, are now struggling for survival. Assumptions of political identity, some of which predate the very concept of the nation state, which emerged in the 19th century, can no longer be taken for granted. Before our eyes, they are faltering under the pressure of populist mo

Trump: Russia has unfortunately lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry due to its War with Ukraine. A large number of their Diesel refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission. This ridiculous and never ending War with Ukraine must be ended.

Trump: The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

ANTHROPIC chief Dario Amodei wants the companies building the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence to slow down. Not stop, but slow the advance of frontier capabilities enough for safety and security work to catch up. He calls it “pacing the frontier”. Amodei says two things have changed.

Those who fail to do so could be issued a warning or fined up to 2,000 yuan (US$298). This applies both to foreign visitors arriving in the country.
