China executes 11 members of Myanmar-based group in crackdown on scam operations

BANGKOK (AP) — China executed 11 people it found guilty of killing 14 Chinese citizens and running scam and gambling operations worth more than $1 billion, authorities said.
The Wenzhou city Intermediate People's Court announced the executions in a statement Thursday morning. It sentenced the 11 people to death in September. They included Ming Guoping and Ming Zhenzhen, members of the Ming family who the court found led the scam and gambling operations, as well as Zhou Weichang, Wu Hongming and Luao Jianzhang,

Trump says China 'will completely' devour Canada if it strikes trade deal

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump threatened Canada with 100% tariffs against all its exports to the US if it makes a trade deal with China, escalating tensions between the US and its northern neighbor.
Trump, referring to Prime Minister Mark Carney as “Governor Carney,” said the Canadian leader was “sorely mistaken” for opening up his country to more business from China, including a recent deal allowing an increase in Chinese electric vehicle exports. Trump has trolled Canada about his desire for it to become th

In recent days, bitcoin mining stocks with AI exposure, including IREN, have rebounded as bitcoin moved back above US$90,000 following earlier regulatory-driven disruption in China’s Xinjiang region.
This recovery has coincided with growing attention on AI-focused infrastructure deals across the sector, such as Hut 8’s very large US$7 billion, 15‑year hosting agreement with Fluidstack and Anthropic, which highlights investor interest in miners pivoting toward AI compute.
Against this backdrop, we’ll explore how renewed enthusiasm for AI-centric bitcoin miners, and IREN’s AI infrastructure pi

WASHINGTON, Dec 3 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Wednesday announced increased vetting of applicants for H-1B visas for highly skilled workers, with an internal State Department memo saying that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech be considered for rejection.

A mild uptick in bitcoin mining in China has prompted calls for Beijing to loosen its restrictions and let the power-hungry industry tap into the country's oversupply of energy, but experts said the likelihood of China ending its mining ban was low.

(Reuters) -Bitcoin mining is quietly staging a comeback in China despite being banned four years ago, as individual and corporate miners exploit cheap electricity and a data center boom in some energy-rich provinces, according to miners and industry data.
China had been the world's biggest crypto mining country until Beijing banned all cryptocurrency trading and mining in 2021, citing threats to the country's financial stability and energy conservation.
After having seen its global bitcoin mining market share slump to zero as a result of the ban, China crept back to third place with a 14% sh

A new long-term study has revealed that emperor penguins — iconic symbols of the icy wilderness — are being forced to abandon their breeding sites as Antarctica warms.
According to China Daily, researchers at Sun Yat-sen University tracked penguin colonies remotely for 11 years, finding that these birds move roughly 73 meters (240 feet) for every 1 degree Celsius (1.8 Fahrenheit) increase in temperature. The study's lead author, Lin Hong, used satellite imagery to monitor "guano stains," or droppings left on sea ice, which serve as visible evidence of colony locations.

Scientists may have identified a way to naturally regulate blood sugar levels and sugar cravings in a similar fashion to drugs like Ozempic.
In mice and humans, the key to unlocking this natural process was found to be a gut microbe and its metabolites – the compounds it produces during digestion.
By increasing the abundance of this one gut microbe in diabetic mice, researchers led by a team at Jiangnan University in China showed they can "orchestrate the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1".
