Their most notable scrap involved tit-for-tat penalties in March when the European Union said it sanctioned four Chinese officials and one entity responsible for the ongoing rights violations against Uyghurs in northwestern China. Beijing responded immediately with dramatic super sanctions of its own. The episode led to the breakdown of the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI), a deal nearly a decade in the making, which was said to be highly coveted by Chinese President Xi Jinping as a geopolitical tool to drive a wedge in Europe’s transatlantic partnership with the United States....

That’s what a lot of people thought. But officials of the WHO do not issue passports and were not terribly amused. The prospect of a sudden baby boom would hardly advance their efforts to control the global population. Even as they denied the rumors, promoters around the world came forward with real offers. Millennium babies will win a car from a newspaper in Russia, and 100 francs from local authorities in France....

Defense Department spokesperson John Kirby was asked about Beijing’s reported hypersonic missile tests in July and August, as well as the nature of the U.S.’s own capabilities. He declined to comment on specifics but told a regular press briefing on Monday that China risks fueling an arms race. “The bottom line is we know that they’re trying to advance military capabilities, capabilities that we believe are only going to increase tensions in the region and beyond,” Kirby said, before repeating Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s description of China as America’s “number one pacing challenge....

Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the hawkish Chinese Communist Party newspaper Global Times, shared a screenshot of a Twitter user’s observation that the Democratic presidential candidate could “normalize” relations between the world’s top two economies. “If Biden elected, i really sure relation between China and USA gonna be normalized. Because Beijing is For-Biden City [sic],” the anonymous tweet referencing the country’s former imperial palace turned museum read. Hu, like others in his position, have remained largely silent about the Chinese leadership’s preference in the 2020 U....

The 600,000 or so people working in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone will have their movements restricted for a week until November 9, district officials said. Along with other Zhengzhou neighborhoods with positive cases, the industrial area will undergo mandatory daily testing for the virus. Non-essential personnel and vehicles aren’t allowed on the streets, while certain—but unspecified—key businesses will continue to operate in a “closed loop,” officials said. It’s unclear what sort of deal Foxconn has struck with local authorities, but the supplier said production at its plant in “iPhone City” would continue as normal....

After going months without major weapons tests, North Korea has reportedly fired a handful of missiles since September. The resumed tests from the North coincide with renewed offers of conditional peace and communication to the South amid the tensions. South Korea’s military said that the ballistic missile launched Tuesday was likely designed to be fired from a submarine, and that it and the U.S. military were conducting an analysis. The launch spurred South Korean authorities to call a national security meeting where they voiced “deep regret” over continued weapons tests from the North despite its efforts to smooth over relations....

In an interview published by The Toronto Star Tuesday, ambassador Cong Peiwu said Trudeau’s Liberal government should stop “interfering in China’s internal affairs” by acting on Hong Kong. Chinese officials in Beijing and its representatives worldwide have responded aggressively to international condemnation of the national security law, which effectively criminalizes anti-government dissent in the territory and marks the end of the “One country, two systems” agreement that had protected the former British colony’s relative political freedoms....

Newsom, who took office in January 2019, has faced significant backlash and criticism due to California’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although California is viewed as a solidly Democratic state, the recall effort has gained steam, with those pushing the effort saying they’ve gathered more than the 1.5 million required signatures to trigger the recall. But Kounalakis expressed her hope that voters would continue to back the current administration....

In 2016, a ban on nonmedical exemptions from school entry requirements came into effect. To uncover what effect this had, a team of researchers examined county-level data on measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage from 45 different state public health departments between 2011 and 2017, and from 17 states between 2010 and 2017. After Senate Bill 277 was adopted, MMR coverage in California rose by 3.3 percent, nonmedical exemptions dropped by 2....

Their findings are published in the journal Fish and Fisheries....
