China Warns NATO-Like Alliances in Asia May Plunge Region Into ‘Whirlpool of Conflicts’
In what appeared to be a thinly veiled dig at the US, Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu has warned against forming NATO-like alliances in the Asia-Pacific, which he said is fraught with consequences for the region.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference in Singapore, Li argued that "in essence, to push for" such alliances in the region is "a way of kidnapping regional countries and fuelling confrontation, which will only plunge the Asia-Pacific into a whirlpool of disputes and conflicts."
The Chinese defense minister also accused "some countries" of intensifying an arms race and interfering in the internal affairs of other nations.
The Chinese defense chief did not explicitly name any country but he appeared to be referring to the US, which is currently part of several alliances and partnerships across the region.

Three-member crew of China's Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft successfully landed in China after their six-month mission on board the Tiangong space station
"At 6:33 on June 4, 2023, Beijing time [22:33 GMT on Saturday], the return capsule of the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft landed successfully at the Dongfeng landing site [in China's autonomous Inner Mongolia region]. The manned mission of Shenzhou-15 was a complete success," China Manned Space Agency said in a statement.
Some 30 minutes later the astronauts were carried out of the capsule, the agency said, adding that they are in good physical condition.
The crew includes three astronauts — crew commander Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu — who arrived at the orbital station on November 30, 2022. During their stay on the station, they made four spacewalks and conducted several scientific and technical experiments. The Shenzhou-16 crew that came to Tiangong on May 30 will continue working aboard it for around five more months.

📹 The famous "Holy Trinity" icon by 15th-century Russian artist Andrei Rublev arrived on at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow
💬 "The icon has been placed in a capsule under constant humidity conditions. The cathedral will closely monitor conditions required to preserve the artifact," the Russian Culture Ministry said, adding that experts from Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery will be helping to preserve the artwork.
📌 Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered for the icon to be handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church, which owned the painting before the Russian Revolution. Rublev created the "Holy Trinity" for the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, in the town of Sergiyev Posad near Moscow, where it stayed until the 1920s.

An oil tanker suffered a machinery failure as it was crossing Suez Canal en route from Russia to China
"As soon as the main navigation control center received notification of a malfunction of the SEAVIGOUR oil tanker, which broke down at the 12th kilometer of the canal as it was traveling as part of the northern convoy en route from Russia to China, three rescue tugs were immediately dispatched … Work is currently underway to connect the tugboats to the ship in preparation for towing," head of Suez Canal Authority, Osama Rabie, said in a statement.
Rabie added that regular traffic coming from the north will resume after the oil tanker is moved to the 17th kilometer of the canal, while traffic going to the south will begin on condition that the vessels wait in the Great Lakes area until the towing is completed.
The administration has the necessary experience and navigation means to handle potential emergencies in a professional manner, the statement said.

Japan and Australia on Sunday signed a memorandum to simplify the procedures for joint technical research in the defense sector
The document was signed during a meeting between Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada and his Australian counterpart, Richard Marles.
"The Ministers noted the importance of maintaining a technological edge and committed to working ever closer in defense science and technology. They welcomed the signing of the bilateral Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Arrangement as an enduring framework to streamline and elevate cooperation," the Japanese Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Both sides expressed hope for the early implementation of the Australia-Japan Reciprocal Access Agreement (RAA), which was signed at the meeting of the two countries' leaders in October last year and will facilitate conditions for joint exercises and maneuvers, especially air-to-air refueling drills between the Japanese air self-defense force and the Australian air force.

Turkiye's newly appointed finance and treasury minister said that he would seek to bring macro-financial stability to the country's economy and reduce inflation
Mehmet Simsek took over as finance minister from Nureddin Nebati on Sunday.
"In the midst of global challenges and increasing geopolitical frictions, we will prioritize strengthening macro-financial stability along with strengthening quality and capacity ... Our main goals are, without wasting time, to ensure price stability [and] to bring inflation down to single digits in the medium term," Simsek was quoted as saying by the Turkish newspaper.
The key to Turkiye's prosperity is a predictable, rule-based economy, the minister said.
"The main goal of our government will be to improve social welfare. In the coming period, we will use the fundamental principles of transparency, consistency, predictability and adherence to international norms to achieve this goal. Turkiye has no choice but to return to the path of reason," Simsek said.

N. Korea may no longer tip off the International Maritime Organization (IMO) about its missile launches after the UN agency adopted a resolution condemning them
"As IMO responded to the DPRK's advance notice on its satellite launch with the adoption of an anti-DPRK "resolution", we will regard this as its official manifestation of stand that the DPRK's advance notice is no longer necessary. In the future, IMO should know and take measures by itself over the period of the DPRK's satellite launch and the impact point of its carrier and be prepared for taking full responsibility for all the consequences to be entailed from it," a commentary by international affairs analyst Kim Myong Chol published in the state-run news agency said.
The analyst argued that the IMO "cooked up such resolution" for "the first time in history," which testifies that the organization "has been completely politicized, abandoning its original mission of promoting international cooperation in the field of maritime security."
He added that improving North Korea's military capabilities is the country's sovereign right, which is necessary to "protect the security of the country and the people from the ever-more reckless military hostile acts of the US and its vassal forces and to defend the regional peace and stability."

The goal of the Zelensky government's recent attack on Russia’s Belgorod Region was to prompt a knee-jerk reaction from the Russian military
The Russian armed forces thwarted a new attempt by Kiev earlier this week to carry out a terrorist attack against the civilian population of the town of Shebekino in Russia’s Belgorod Region and violate the country’s state border.
The purpose of this terrorist attack on the Belgorod Region is “to try to trick the Russians into some kind of a stupid or a hasty or an emotional response,” ex-US diplomat and former senior foreign policy advisor Jim Jatras told Sputnik.
This, he added, “would then trigger the Ukrainians’ hope for some kind of direct NATO entry into the war, which they see as their only possible lifeline.”
“I don't think it's going to work, even if they thought they'd get into the war, by the way, directly, [and] I don't think it would save the current Ukrainian state. And in any case, I don't think the Russians are going to fall for it. They realize what's going on, that this is a provocation. They're not going to fall for it. They're going to stick with whatever their plans are,” the former US diplomat pointed out.
