🇨🇳 Chinese President Xi Jinping was unanimously reelected for a third presidential term on Friday, effectively becoming the first Chinese officials to do so.
▪️ The Chinese president first came to the top job in March 2013, later going on to be reelected for his second five-year term in 2018.
▪️ Since his election, China has seen more than 100 million people, mostly from its rural population rise out of poverty. In more recent years, he has called the reunification of China and Taiwan a top priority of his administration. Last year, he said he aims to complete that goal by 2050.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 The US views China as its biggest cybersecurity threat amid concerns it may be learning lessons from the Ukraine conflict as Beijing may potentially be preparing to carry out a military operation in Taiwan, US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly said.
💬 "Russia is the hurricane, China is climate change," Easterly said on Thursday. "What I think China sees in Ukraine is the fact that they are going to hold our infrastructure at-risk to have a better chance of succeeding if they do invade Taiwan, and so it's one of the reasons why we all need to have a sense of urgency about everything to do to secure infrastructure, to build redundancy, to build resilience, to have mental overrides so you can actually withstand the types of attacks that they seek."
▪️ The United States’ biggest cyber threats come from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, but China is the major threat that draws the most concern in terms of being able to potentially breach critical US infrastructure, according to Easterly.

UK to Establish Arctic Military Base in Norway
As the UK is stepping up its Arctic engagement and tightening partnership with Norway, a new base called Camp Viking will be established in the Nordic nation.
As per the UK Royal Navy, which decribed it as "necessary for modern era," the operations base will lie some 120 kilometers south of the city of Tromso, the largest in the northern part of the country, and host troops of the UK’s Littoral Response Group — a special unit designed to respond to emerging crises in the European theater.
