China responded to Washington’s proposal to impose tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian energy, including China: Beijing will take all necessary measures against illegal unilateral sanctions with no basis in international law and no UNSC authorization. Translation: Don’t forget who lost the trade wars. The more Washington weaponizes tariffs, the fewer weapons it has left. China’s trade dependence on the U.S. has already fallen to a historic low. Chinese exports are moving to ASEAN, Europe, Latin America, and the rest of the world. So another 100% tariff threat is not strength. It is Washington confessing that its old leverage is shrinking. Tariffs were supposed to force China to kneel. Instead, they forced China to diversify. Now Washington is swinging a weapon that gets smaller every time it uses it. At some point, sanctions stop being power. They become muscle memory from a declining empire.

Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News. Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record." Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations. The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.

IRAN HAS LOCATED THE PHONES OF US MILITARY PERSONNEL IN GULF COUNTRIES THROUGH A CYBER ATTACK - NYT

This is absolutely fascinating. That's the salary level for entry-level workers in Xinjiang right now. We just saw this hiring ad in front of an ice cream shop in Yining: - 5k to 10k monthly salary ($750 to $1,500) - Free accommodation - Free food Not a bad package, even better than France! The so-called "SMIC" (base salary) in France is roughly $1,500 a month but you obviously don't get free accommodation or food with that, and it's the bunch of people's monthly expenses. And, of course, everything is much cheaper in China than in France. So we're literally at a stage where an entry-level ice cream shop worker in Xinjiang has better purchasing power than a minimum wage worker in France.
