Presidents of Iran and Egypt vow to move towards détente

    • Egypt proposes 14-day ceasefire in Gaza, Hamas to release 40 hostages - report

    • Furnace explosion at Chinese-owned nickel plant in Indonesia kills 13

    Jump

  • Three Chinese workers in March filed a complaint to Indonesia’s National Commission on Human Rights, alleging that their health is deteriorating due to dust and smoke exposure while working seven-day weeks without a break at PT IMIP. They added that workers there don’t have adequate safety equipment.

    This is why regulation is important. America's OSHA and China's SAWS have the rules they have for a reason.

    • Blacklisted Chinese chipmaker SMIC is working on 3nm process technology despite US sanctions that limit access to advanced tools

    Jump

  • I doubt SMIC can get 3nm yields to an acceptable level using existing DUV machines. Maybe domestic machines will be more capable? The multi-patterning issue surely must be easier to solve than the EUV one.

    • U.N. Criticized Over Resolution Lacking Gaza Ceasefire Call

    Jump

  • The US and Russia both abstained on this vote. The US because it goes too far, Russia because it doesn't go far enough.

    To be honest, Russia's position here is rather confusing. An Israel embroiled in conflict is bad for US military logistics and thus bad for Ukraine. An Israel in ceasefire is good for Ukrainian aid and thus bad for Russia. Supporting a ceasefire in Gaza is literally self-sabotage for Russian interests in Ukraine.

    • U.N. Criticized Over Resolution Lacking Gaza Ceasefire Call

    Jump

  • The U.S. vetoed a Russian amendment that would have included ceasefire language, Al Jazeera U.N. reporter Rami Ayari reported. Instead, after delays and debates for days, the final version resolved that the parties must allow safe, unhindered and expanded humanitarian access to Gaza and “create the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities.”

    • Beijing shrugs at U.S. call for help protecting Red Sea shipping

    Jump

  • Chinese ships are still able to pass the Red Sea without threat, so there's not really a reason for China to do anything...

    • Joe Biden warned 'no one takes him seriously' as EU brutally snubs US

    Jump

  • Community rules prohibit changing the title and most reporting on this was not in English because the countries involved are not English-speaking.

    • Spain Blocks EU Participation in US Red Sea Operation

    Jump

    • Joe Biden warned 'no one takes him seriously' as EU brutally snubs US

    Jump

  • The salient point in the article is the subtitle:

    France, Spain, and Italy have all announced their withdrawal from the US Command Structure for Operation Prosperity Guardian

    Per community policy, not allowed to use that as the main title.

    • War on Gaza: Saudis overwhelmingly say Arab nations should cut ties with Israel

    Jump

  • A new poll has found that 96 percent of Saudi nationals believe that Arab countries should cut ties with Israel in response to the war in Gaza, and that the popularity of Hamas has grown significantly amid Israel's devastating military offensive on the embattled territory.

    The result of the poll, conducted by the Washington Institute for Near Eastern Affairs, a pro-Israel think tank based in Washington, shows the difficulties the United States faces as it pushes for Saudi Arabia to normalise ties with Israel

    • UN Human Rights Office - OPT: Unlawful killings in Gaza City

    Jump

  • IIRC it's considered middle of the road due to political leanings rather than the actual credibility of the reporting.

    Which, tbh, is sort of concerning when evaluating credibility because political leanings do not change whether a report is factual or not.

    • UN Human Rights Office - OPT: Unlawful killings in Gaza City

    Jump

  • WSWS tends to do accurate reporting in my experience.

    • UN Security Council acts to boost aid to Gaza after US abstains

    Jump

  • This is the same agreement that the US was holding up for days to "negotiate"... And the best they can do is abstain for an agreement that they led negotiations for?

    • Hamas demands release of 3 top Palestinian leaders in any hostage deal with Israel

    Jump

  • Ahmed Saadat is Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)

    Marwan Barghouti is a member of the Fatah Central Committee, and of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC).

    Abdullah Barghouti is a top Hamas leader (Hamas has a less rigorous structure than the other two organizations)

    • China to curb excess spending on video games in blow for world’s biggest market

    Jump

    • Xi straight-up told Biden that China is going to take over Taiwan: report

    Jump

  • I mean, I agree, but that doesn't mean China could "win" in an offensive military action against Taiwan. Taiwan is literally a fortress and Taiwan/China cultural overlap is too significant to drive strong warmongering sentiment.

    An invasion is such a silly suggestion that it doesn't even need consideration. At best, it would be a pyrrhic victory with millions dead on both sides and the island in ruins.

    The far more likely scenario is a blockade, sorry, "economic embargo" of Taiwan... Of course, Cuba is a clear example of how a blockade economic embargo doesn't really work, so...
