Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Quick Glance: Investigation Launched After Beijing Half Marathon Finish

Following the finish of the Beijing Half Marathon, the results are now under scrutiny due to the peculiar behavior displayed by three runners from Kenya and Ethiopia.

A Chinese runner overtook the others, as seen in a recorded livestream of the Beijing Half Marathon. The remaining three runners - Willy Mnangat and Robert Keter from Kenya, and Dejene Hailu from Ethiopia - followed closely behind, with He claiming the first place.

The organizers of the half-marathon are currently examining the results after a video of the finish circulated online, prompting many to question the intention of the three African runners to slow down.

The winner secured the first place with a time of 1 hour 3 minutes 44 seconds. Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu shared the second place, one second later.

Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida emphasizes the need for US support to maintain hope in Ukraine and protect Asia from harsher realities in a speech to the US Congress.

Kishida urges the US to continue playing a crucial role in international affairs, especially in the face of threats posed by China, Russia, and North Korea.

Despite support for Kishida's remarks championing a free and open Indo-Pacific, some conservative Republicans remained seated during his call for support for Ukraine's fight against Russia.

Kishida and President Joe Biden unveiled a list of initiatives to deepen their military cooperation and jointly condemned China's 'dangerous and escalatory' actions in the region.

Quick Glance: Green Party Power Struggle Emerges Over Chancellor Question

The Greens are facing a power struggle over who will be the lead candidate in the next election, after Annalena Baerbock scored 14.8% in the 2021 federal election despite higher poll numbers.

The question of the chancellor candidate is settled within the SPD, but a battle is brewing within the Greens between Baerbock and Minister of Economics Robert Habeck, who once stepped aside for her.

Habeck is actively vying to become the chancellor candidate and believes he is capable of winning the office, especially after Baerbock's stumbles in the last election campaign.

The Greens aim to make a decision on the chancellor candidate by the end of the year, with prominent supporters like parliamentary leader Britta Haßelmann and Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann backing the candidates.

China tried to meddle but Canadians decided the last two elections, says PM Trudeau

reuters.com/world/americas/china-tried-meddle-canadians-decided-last-two-elections-says-pm-trudeau-2024-04-10/

Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.

Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.

Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.

Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

Quick Glance: US-China Conflict: The Role of the Party

The US House of Representatives established a special panel to counter Beijing's growing global influence. Committee Chair Mike Gallagher emphasized the need to differentiate between the CCP and the Chinese people.

Tensions could stem from China's rise as a superpower or the political direction of the CCP under Xi Jinping. Experts discuss China's historical phases and Xi's role in the current crisis.

Past periods under the KMT and Deng Xiaoping serve as points of comparison. Western concern over China was previously not ideologically driven, but has evolved over time due to political and economic developments.

China's increasing seclusion and the leadership's self-assurance under Xi have led to tensions. The US government aims for a balanced relationship but warns against destabilizing actions. The future of US-China relations remains uncertain.
