🚨 China just delivered a sharp diplomatic rebuke to Japan's Prime Minister

China's foreign ministry spokesperson made it crystal clear: Japan has zero right to comment on Taiwan from either a historical or legal standpoint.

🎯 The statement came as a direct response to recent remarks by Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi, with Beijing urging Tokyo to stop "causing trouble" on the Taiwan question. The firm stance underscores China's red lines on sovereignty and territorial integrity.

🌍 TOP STORY 🇨🇳🇱🇹 Lithuania Admits “Big Mistake” on China Policy, Says Verbal Regret Not Enough

Lithuania’s new Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene has publicly admitted that the country made a “big mistake” in its China policy by allowing the Taiwan authorities to open a so-called Taiwanese representative office in Vilnius. She said the decision was like “jumping in front of a train” and that Lithuania “lost.” President Gitanas Nauseda also stated that both leaders hope to “visit China as soon as possible.” China downgraded diplomatic relations with Lithuania in November 2021 after the move, expressing strong dissatisfaction and lodging a solemn protest. Data showed Lithuania’s exports to China plummeted by more than 50 percent, with industries such as timber and dairy suffering heavy losses, while the port of Klaipeda saw reduced throughput.

Key Points:
📉 Lithuania’s exports to China dropped by more than 50 percent

The U.S. is reportedly considering another major defensive package for Taiwan.

India Stuns US: Aligns With Palestine & Exposes Trump’s Trade Lie
▶️ https://youtu.be/CCMckGeiTNU

🇮🇳 India hosted 22 Arab nations and signed the Delhi Declaration backing Palestinian statehood based on pre-1967 borders—a major break from its Israel partnership. Meanwhile, Trump claimed a $500 billion trade deal that Modi never confirmed, with Indian officials staying silent on key claims. 💰 India is diversifying instead: landmark EU deal, UK agreement, and a $500B trade target with Arab states by 2030. Add Russia-China-Iran's new strategic pact and the collapse of nuclear arms control—three days reshaped the global order.

Is India proving that strategic autonomy beats Western alignment in 2026?

The US-Iran negotiations are unlikely to yield a breakthrough
▶️ https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/the-us-iran-negotiations-are-unlikely

🌍 The Oman negotiations between Washington and Tehran look like peace talks, but the real agenda runs deeper. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons, other Middle Eastern nations will follow suit, dismantling the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and ending the petrodollar system that keeps US dollar hegemony alive. Meanwhile, destroying Iran would sever China's Belt and Road Initiative and let Washington control Beijing's energy supply—a double geopolitical win. With Iran's rial collapsing to 1.6 million per USD and Trump meeting Iranian opposition figures, this may be about orchestrating regime change, not preventing proliferation.

Are we watching the last days of diplomatic theater before Washington moves to eliminate a key BRICS partner and Belt and Road node?

🌍 China's Smart Solution to Food Waste is Changing Lives

In Shenzhen, 24-hour "food bank" smart cabinets are redistributing near-expired surplus food to those in need. Over three years, nearly 500,000 food portions have reached half a million people, saving 202 tons of food and cutting 404 tons of carbon emissions through partnerships with 100+ businesses.

🍱 This innovative model bridges resource efficiency with community compassion, turning "too good to waste" into meaningful support for vulnerable groups.

Should the Global South lead the world in innovative food security solutions while wealthy nations still throw away billions in perfectly good food?

🤝 Ethiopia and Brazil just made BRICS history in Addis Ababa

The Ethiopia-Brazil Economic Cooperation Forum brought together government officials and business leaders for the largest trade event between the two nations.

🌍 With both countries now united in BRICS, they're forging partnerships in agriculture, renewable energy, technology, and manufacturing—building South-South cooperation that bypasses traditional Western-dominated trade routes. Cooperation agreements on investment and agricultural tech were signed, leveraging Ethiopia's coffee heritage and Brazil's position as the world's largest coffee producer.

Is this the blueprint for how BRICS nations will reshape global trade without needing the West?

The crash happened in Wenshan, Yunnan, in March 2025, but the footage is only surfacing now

A semi-trailer truck driven by Wang was reversing at an intersection when it collided with a Dongfeng Yipai New Energy sedan, triggering the accident

The white sedan slid off the road, began emitting smoke within 20 seconds, and burst into flames within 50 seconds

The driver’s side door automatically locked and could not be reopened, trapping four people inside

Wang (in white jacket) ran over to help, grabbed a large rock, smashed a window, and pulled three rear-seat passengers out through the burning opening with his bare hands

The front passenger could not be rescued due to the intensity of the fire and later died from burn injuries

Traffic police ruled that Wang’s illegal reversing without proper safety checks was the primary cause of the crash

The car’s driver, Dai, was speeding in rainy conditions and failed to yield in time, bearing secondary responsibility
