 Foreign Affairs › China Vows To 'fight To The End' After Fresh U.S. Tariff Threat by Essential(op): 1:36am On Apr 09, 2025 |
China vows to 'fight to the end' after fresh U.S. tariff threat China 14:43, 08-Apr-2025 CGTN Updated 16:45, 08-Apr-2025 Translate Share The Chinese Foreign Ministry has said the country will "fight to the end" after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose an additional tariff of 50 percent on Chinese goods. "If the United States continues waging tariff war and trade war, China will fight to the end," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a news briefing on Tuesday. Lin said the indiscriminate imposition of tariffs by the United States seriously violates the legitimate rights and interests of other countries, seriously violates the rules of the World Trade Organization, seriously damages the rule-based multilateral trading system and seriously impacts the stability of the global economic order. "It is typical unilateralism, protectionism, and economic bullying and has been widely opposed by the international community," the spokesperson said, noting that China strongly condemns and resolutely opposes it. Pointing out that no winners emerge in trade wars and tariff wars and that protectionism leads nowhere, Lin said the Chinese people do not cause trouble, but they are not afraid of trouble either. "Pressuring, threatening and blackmailing are not the right ways to deal with China." The spokesperson added that China will take necessary measures and resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights. 1 Like |

Meet Sarki Abba from Kano State, the genius that was made to rewrite WASCE after scoring 9 distinctions In 1984, 16-year old Abba, a student of Science Secondary School Dawakin Tofa, scored 9 distinctions (8 A1 and 1 A2) in his West African Senior School Certificate (WASCE) Exams. Examination authorities in Lagos didn't believe Abba made those excellent scores without cheating. The authorities provided a car that took Abba to Lagos in order to retake the exam. Abba was made to take the 9 exams in a duration of 3 days, under heavy supervision. After marking the rescheduled exams, he scored 9 A1 (the only ‘A2’ he had in English Language before the retake, became ‘A1’ resulted to 9 A1) Faced with shock, the authorities apologized and instituted the National Merit Award. And, rightfully, Sarki Abba was the first recipient of the award. In 1989/90 school session, 21, Sarki Abba graduated as OVERALL BEST Medical Student, and OVERALL BEST Graduating Student at ABU, Zaria— he was just 21. ©️ 3 Likes 1 Share

| Foreign Affairs › Putin Comments On Ukrainian Counter Offensive by Essential(op): 8:28pm On Jun 09, 2023 |
Putin comments on Ukrainian counteroffensive Kiev’s long-anticipated push to retake lost territories has started, the Russian president says Putin comments on Ukrainian counteroffensive Russian President Vladimir Putin © Sputnik / Ramil Sitdikov The much-anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive has started, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. He cited the deployment of Kiev’s strategic reserves as a telltale sign of the operation. “We can state with absolute certainty that this Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, and the use of strategic reserves points to it,” Putin said at a press conference on Friday. The president noted that particularly heavy fighting has been ongoing for five days, with Russian troops managing to hold their positions. He also claimed that the Ukrainian military has suffered far heavier casualties than the “classic” three-to-one ratio often expected during an offensive. However, Kiev has still retained its offensive capabilities, Putin said. He added that he expected Russian commanders to “assess the situation realistically” and act accordingly. The Russian leader also acknowledged that Moscow’s troops are facing shortages of modern weapons, and expressed hope that the country’s military industry will soon be able to satisfy growing demand. Ukraine has taken ‘significant’ losses this week – CNNREAD MORE Ukraine has taken ‘significant’ losses this week – CNN Putin attributed the purported failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive to the effectiveness of the armaments already at the disposal of Russian forces. On Thursday, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu revealed that the Ukrainian military had tried to break through Russian defenses in Zaporozhye Region. However, this attempt was thwarted by pre-emptive artillery and aerial strikes, the official claimed. According to the minister, Kiev’s forces suffered losses running into the thousands as a result. On Friday, Moscow stated that Ukraine had lost up to 1,240 troops and 39 tanks in just 24 hours. Dozens of armored vehicles and artillery units, including ones provided by Western countries, were also destroyed, Russian military officials claimed. Citing anonymous senior US officials, CNN also reported that the Ukrainian military had sustained “significant” casualties this week. The outlet’s sources described “greater than expected resistance from Russian forces.” |

| Foreign Affairs › Xi Tells China’s Security Chiefs To Prepare For ‘dangerous Storms’ by Essential(op): 3:46pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
Xi tells China’s security chiefs to prepare for ‘dangerous storms’ The president has warned that the country must prepare for “worst-case” scenarios as its security situation deteriorates Xi tells China’s security chiefs to prepare for ‘dangerous storms’ China faces increasingly difficult and complex national security challenges and must prepare for “worst-case” scenarios by increasing its capacity to deal with internal and external threats, President Xi Jinping has warned. “We must be prepared for worst-case and extreme scenarios and be ready to withstand the major test of high winds, choppy waters and even dangerous storms,” state-run news agency Xinhua quoted Xi as saying on Tuesday in a meeting with China’s top security officials in Beijing. He added that more efforts were needed to modernize the nation’s security architecture and “get prepared for actual combat and dealing with practical problems.” Xi made his comments to the National Security Commission amid increasing tensions with the US. Just this week, Beijing declined Washington’s request for a meeting between the two countries’ defense chiefs when both men attend a security conference in Singapore in June, citing the need for US officials to respect China’s sovereignty and security concerns. China cut off defense and climate ties with Washington last August over alleged meddling by US officials in Taiwan. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning demanded on Wednesday that the US stop flying spy planes over the South China Sea, calling the flights “dangerous provocations.” Her statement came one day after the US Indo-Pacific Command accused a Chinese pilot of causing a near-collision by buzzing his fighter jet in front of an American reconnaissance plane in international airspace above the South China Sea. The Pentagon has labeled China “the most consequential and systemic challenge” to US national security – an assessment that Beijing derided as an excuse to expand Washington’s nuclear arsenal and maintain its military hegemony. Xi urged his security chiefs to build up “strategic self-confidence,” improve the coordination of their operations and utilize more advanced technology. He called for enhanced real-time monitoring of security threats, a better early warning system and improved handling of computer data and artificial intelligence (AI). “The complexity and severity of national security problems faced by our country have increased dramatically,” Xi said. US President Joe Biden’s administration has tried to stymie China’s development of advanced semiconductor chips, at least partly because of their importance in advancing AI technology. Those measures have included restrictions on exports of semiconductors and advanced chip-making equipment to China. Last week, China banned purchases of products from Micron Technology, the largest US maker of computer memory chips, citing “significant security risks.” Some observers interpreted the move as retaliation for Washington’s efforts to contain China’s chipmaking industry. US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo responded by saying Washington “won’t tolerate” the Micron ban. |
| Foreign Affairs › Ukraine Sent Untrained Soldiers Into Bakhmut ‘meat Grinder’ – WSJ by Essential(op): 10:40pm On May 25, 2023 |
“Bakhmut will teach you,” a commander reportedly told a soldier who complained he had never held a gun before Ukraine sent untrained conscripts into Donbass ‘meat grinder’ – WSJ Ukrainian soldiers ride on a BMP infantry fighting vehicle toward Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). © AFP / Sergey Shestak Kiev used untrained and poorly equipped troops in the lost battle for the strategic Donbass city of Artyomovsk, which the Ukrainians call Bakhmut, in order to save better units for its planned counteroffensive, the Wall Street Journal has reported. In an article on Thursday, the US outlet told a story of a group of 16 Ukrainian conscripts, who were crushed by the Russian forces during the fighting in Artyomovsk, in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic in February. The troops in question were “mostly poor men,” many of whom were unemployed. They had been recruited by the Ukrainian military from villages in the northeastern Kharkov Region, the report said. Some had completed mandatory military service years or decades ago, but almost none had ever seen actual combat, it added. According to the WSJ, the men spent only two nights at a base, where they were handed Soviet-era rifles and uniforms. After that, they were told that they were being deployed to Artyomovsk – the scene of a months-long standoff between Russian and Ukrainian forces that has been described as a “meat grinder” and the biggest battle of the 21st century so far. Inside the ‘Bakhmut meat grinder’: How Russia forced Ukrainians to retreat from Artyomovsk, their supposed ‘fortress’ in DonbassREAD MORE Inside the ‘Bakhmut meat grinder’: How Russia forced Ukrainians to retreat from Artyomovsk, their supposed ‘fortress’ in Donbass Some of the conscripts wanted to sign an official refusal to follow the order, saying they didn’t have proper training for the task. One recalled how he complained that he had never held a gun before and was afraid, but the Ukrainian sergeant major simply told him that “Bakhmut will teach you.” The 16 draftees, who were enlisted into the 5th company of Ukraine’s 93rd Mechanized Brigade, spent only 36 hours in Artyomovsk, during which 11 of them were killed or captured, the WSJ said, citing surviving soldiers and relatives of slain recruits. One of the troops told the outlet that he fired a rocket-propelled grenade for the first time in his life in Artyomovsk, while the other described the Russian assault as “hell on Earth.” The Wall Street Journal suggested that Kiev used to send “mobilized soldiers and territorial defense units, sometimes with patchy training and equipment” to fight in Artyomovsk “in an effort to preserve brigades trained and equipped by the West for a widely anticipated offensive,” which had been expected to begin in spring. Evgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner private military company, which spearheaded the Russian effort in the Artyomovsk, said his men had “destroyed 50,000 troops of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” and wounded another 50,000 to 70,000. Moscow announced the full capture of the key Ukrainian stronghold and logistics hub last Saturday, but Kiev has so far refrained from confirming the loss of the city. 1 Like |
