Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump Discussed Potential Trilateral Meeting With Xi Jinping: Kremlin– www.ndtv.com News Source EXCERPT:
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump discussed the idea of holding a trilateral meeting with China’s Xi Jinping at an upcoming summit in November, the Kremlin said Wednesday.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is scheduled to hold a summit in the Chinese city of Shenzhen between November 18-19.
Russia has indicated Putin will attend, although the White House has not yet announced whether Trump will be there.
Asked whether Trump and Putin discussed the idea of a trilateral meeting in Shenzhen during their phone call on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “Undoubtedly.”
“This potential possibility has been mentioned before, and there will be such an opportunity,” Peskov told reporters, including AFP.
APEC is an intergovernmental forum that dates to the 1980s.
The group, which includes Russia, China and the United States, is among the most important forums for economic cooperation in the Asia Pacific.
The November summit comes as Washington pushes Russia for an end to the Ukraine war, and amid deepening ties between Moscow and Beijing.
US envoys visited both Moscow and Kyiv last week, but did not announce a breakthrough in talks to end the war in Ukraine.

FLORIDA WARNS UK: Boycott Israel, Florida Will Boycott the UK– gellerreport.com News Source EXCERPT:
Britain’s threatened sanctions against Judea and Samaria will not come without a punishing price. Under Florida law, any company participating in a boycott of Israel can be stripped of state and local contracts, hit with civil penalties of at least $2 million and barred from bidding on public business for three years. As Rep. Randy Fine warns, British companies forced into London’s anti-Israel crusade could find themselves effectively shut out of one of Britain’s largest American trading partners—costing them billions. Florida’s law helped break Airbnb’s 2019 boycott of Jewish communities, and its message remains unmistakable: If Britain chooses to wage economic war on Israel, Florida can wage economic war on Britain. Boycott Israel—and Florida will boycott you.
Britain has formally announced the policy, not merely floated it. The UK will prohibit imports of goods from Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and bar British companies from supplying financing, construction, infrastructure, real-estate and advertising services there. The measures are expected to take effect within six to nine months. France and Canada announced similar action, while several European governments pledged support.
Florida’s law is unusually broad because its definition of boycotting Israel expressly covers discrimination against businesses operating in “Israeli-controlled territories”—meaning Britain cannot evade it by claiming it is boycotting only Judea and Samaria, rather than Israel itself. Florida can terminate public contracts of any amount with participating entities, refuse future contracts and divest state investments after the statutory review process.
Britain’s boycott is not merely symbolic foreign-policy theater. By ordering British companies to discriminate against Jews doing business in Judea and Samaria, London is placing those companies on a collision course with Florida law—and potentially forcing them to choose between obeying Britain and retaining access to Florida’s lucrative public market. Britain wanted to punish Israel. It may instead punish its own companies, workers and economy.
As the British government considers forcing British companies to boycott portions of Israel, it should be aware that a Florida law that I passed as a member of the Legislature would ban any British company forced to comply from doing business with any state or local government in…
As the British government considers forcing British companies to boycott portions of Israel, it should be aware that a Florida law that I passed as a member of the Legislature would ban any British company forced to comply from doing business with any state or local government in Florida.
It would also end any British business participating in that boycott from doing any business in Florida if it needed any official interaction with state or local government to operate (permits, tax collection).
Florida is one of Britain’s largest trading partners. They should understand that their vanity project in support of Muslim terror could cost them billions of dollars.
And for those who doubt the power of this policy, it was this same law that broke Airbnb’s misguided effort to boycott portions of Israel in 2019. They realized that this law would have bankrupted their company.
Florida has made it clear. Any company — or nation — that boycotts Israel is boycotted by Florida.

The Chinese Communist Party has been allowed to set up propaganda outreach programs in 83 U.S. Colleges according to a report by Defending Education.
The report claims the program is called “The Young Envoys Scholarship,” which sends 50,000 U.S. students to study or visit China. The program is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism.”

Program is run by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ organizationwith CCP ties
A Chinese government program at 83 U.S. colleges is part of an “ongoing effort … to influence American students’ perceptions of the communist country,” according to a recent report by a conservative watchdog group.
The Young Envoys Scholarship is an international exchange initiative launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2024 to bring 50,000 U.S. students to study or participate in cultural visits to China, according to the Defending Education report.
It is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism,” the report states.
Reagan Dugan, Director of Higher Education Initiatives at Defending Education, told The College Fix that the program is operating in American schools without students and families knowing its real agenda.
Dugan added that the program needs greater monitoring. “US oversight must apply the same diligence to American students traveling to China at the behest of the CCP that they do to foreign students studying in America,” she said.
A policy expert also raised national security concerns.
A senior Chinese Communist Party official has somehow been allowed to purchase historic property in Washington D.C. That property is only 650 feet away from the White House’s northeast grounds. The man, Qiu Feili (who goes by Philip Qiu in America) is also a trained sniper. The property cost $8.4 million.

A senior Chinese Communist Party official with documented ties to intelligence and state security organizations has acquired a historic commercial property located approximately 650 feet northeast of the White House grounds in Washington, D.C.
According to an investigative report from the Daily Caller, the 100-year-old Securities Building at 729 15th Street NW was purchased on July 21, 2026, for $8.4 million by the Philip Qiu and Family Foundation. District of Columbia Recorder of Deeds filings confirm the transaction details and the foundation’s role as buyer.
The new owner is identified as Philip Qiu, also known by his Chinese name Qiu Feili. Public records and translations of Chinese government announcements reviewed by the Daily Caller indicate that Qiu has held multiple positions connected to Chinese intelligence and state security entities.
His career began as a detective in the Criminal Investigation Team of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, a local unit under the Ministry of Public Security. By 2011, while enrolled in a master’s program at Shanghai Jiaotong University, he had completed special forces training. University announcements from that period describe him participating in a training exercise in which he served as a commander and recorded the best individual sniper performance, using 42 shots to eliminate a significant portion of opposing forces.
U.S. says Canada among China’s ‘biggest enablers’ in avoiding Trump tariffs – National– globalnews.ca News Source
EXCERPT:
A new White House trade report says the Trump administration considers Canada among China’s “biggest enablers” in avoiding U.S. tariffs through transshipment, a “modern form of smuggling” that the U.S. claims is costing billions in lost tax revenue.
The report released Thursday from the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy — titled “The Great Transshipment Scam” and featuring a timely image of a Trojan horse on the front page — accuses China of routing their exports through third countries with more favourable U.S. tariff rates.
An estimated 40 countries, including Canada, comprise a “shadow transshipment network” used by China, the report argues.
“In plain terms, illegal transshipment is smuggling disguised as trade — fraud cloaked in paperwork — and, in truth, nothing new,” the report says, adding what has changed is the “breadth, depth, and sophistication” of China’s network.

The White House is warning that China and dozens of other countries are using third-party nations to disguise the origin of exports and evade U.S. tariffs, costing the Treasury billions of dollars each year.
A new 25-page report from the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy identifies more than 40 countries as posing a high risk for tariff-avoiding transshipment.
Those nations include China, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic.
The report, titled “The Great Transshipment Scam,” says the practice allows exporters to route goods through intermediary countries before they enter the United States under a different declared country of origin.

China has warned the US that it could retaliate if Washington significantly expands secondary sanctions on Chinese companies doing business with Iran
China has warned that it could take retaliatory measures if the United States significantly expands secondary sanctions targeting Chinese companies doing business with Iran, according to reporting by the Financial Times.The warning came after the Trump administration on Monday announced new sanctions targeting companies in Hong Kong and mainland China as part of a broader crackdown on Iran’s oil trade. The measures, however, did not target major Chinese financial institutions, FT reported.A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday that Beijing would take “all necessary measures” to safeguard its rights and interests, while reiterating China’s opposition to what it described as unilateral sanctions lacking a basis in international law or United Nations Security Council authorisation.The spokesperson also called for de-escalation and a return to dialogue and negotiations.
China’s New Missile Can Target Planes Flying Near US: Report– www.ndtv.com News Source

Beijing:
China has developed hypersonic glide vehicles that can launch air-to-air weapons targeting high-value targets such as command-and-control aircraft thousands of miles away, Bloomberg reported, citing a person with direct knowledge of the matter. The new addition to Beijing’s arsenal comes at a time when the US is struggling with supplies of crucial air defence missiles and long-range strike weapons following the six months of war with Iran.
It can be a threat to aircraft such as aerial refueling tankers, airborne early-warning and control jets and flying command posts, including the US Air Force’s E-4B Nightwatch.
The Chinese military has also added air-to-air capabilities to some hypersonic cruise missiles and built anti-ship capabilities into several types of missiles, a person with direct knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg.
China is the only country publicly known to operate and develop hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) capable of launching air-to-air missiles. The developments mark a significant expansion of the country’s efforts to use its growing missile arsenal — largest in the world at more than 3,150 ballistic weapons — for a wide range of military missions, sources said.
Japanese lawmakers travel to Beijing, seeking to mend ties after fallout– abcnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
TOKYO — A cross-party group of Japanese lawmakers, including one from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s governing party, headed to Beijing on Monday to meet with Chinese officials for the first time since ties between the two Asian rivals deteriorated after Takaichi’s comment on Taiwan angered China.
The group, which includes Gaku Hashimoto, a lawmaker of Takaichi’s governing Liberal Democratic Party and a former health and welfare vice minister, and a lawmaker each from two opposition parties Komeito and the Centrist Reform Alliance, is to meet with Chinese Communist Party officials during their visit through Thursday.
“Communication has been severed in all areas and we are beginning to see their impact in many areas,” Shinichi Isa, a top spokesperson for the CRA party, told reporters before leaving Tokyo’s Haneda airport. “I hope we can somehow find a clue to restart a dialogue.”
Isa, who has served as a diplomat at the Japanese Embassy in China, wrote on X earlier this month that bilateral ties have sunk to their worst since the 1972 normalization of relations. He wrote that officials had always remained in communication even during previous lows: “Now all channels between officials and ministries have been cut off.”
The situation is not in the national interest of either side, Isa said at the time, and the Chinese side accepted a request from Japanese lawmakers for a “window for dialogue.”
Mongolia positions itself as Asia’s next data centre hub– www.euronews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Mongolia is positioning itself as a global data centre hub, signing agreements for 863 megawatts of data centre capacity on the sidelines of a United Nations conference on desertification that brought 197 delegations to Ulaanbaatar this month.
The move to attract data centre investment was the most concrete economic outcome of the 12-day COP17 conference of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, where delegates are discussing how to restore land degraded by climate change.
According to Deputy Prime Minister Togmid Dorjkhand, Mongolia has three main competitive advantages: cheap renewable energy, a cold climate that reduces cooling costs, and a vast land area and stable legal framework.
“We have a lot of energy generation potential, above the ground and under the ground and we have all kinds of deposits, uranium and coal and other resources,” Togmid told Euronews.
“And yes, we are a very cold country, eight months a year are very cold. Cold weather is important for the data centres because they need a lot of cooling, so the colder the weather the more you save on cooling.”
Satellite Images Reveal Possible Cause Behind Devastating Nepal Flash Floods– www.ndtv.com News Source
EXCERPT:
In a preliminary satellite analysis, Planet Labs released images that reveal visual evidence of the destruction caused by floods in Nepal that killed at least 46.
Several others, including 108 Indians, are missing, as the flash flood hit Nepal on Wednesday, washing away villages and many project sites in a region bordering Tibet.
Nepal’s disaster authority (NDRRMA) described that a chunk of snow and rock broke off near the glacier zone on the Nepal-China border, about 20km northeast of the Rasuwagadhi border crossing.
That avalanche either fell into a glacial lake or blocked the river channel, and the resulting surge, carrying glacial ice, meltwater and debris — “glacier-inclusive flood” — swept down the Lhende Khola into the Bhote Koshi river.
