Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

Quick Glance: China Emphasizes Stronger Collaboration with US Amid Challenges

China stresses the importance of enhanced cooperation with the United States despite facing significant obstacles.

Xi emphasized to the US Secretary of State on Friday that the two superpowers 'should be partners rather than rivals' and should support each other's success, as reported by the state news agency Xinhua.

During the five and a half hours of discussions, Blinken raised the issue of 'Chinese support to the Russian defence industrial base', and contentious topics such as Taiwan and the South China Sea were also addressed.

Recent years have seen tumultuous China-US relations, exacerbated by factors including a trade war, a visit by then-House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in 2022, and a dispute over the US downing of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon last year.

Quick Glance: Chinese TikTok App Sale Required for National Security Measures

A newly enacted law mandates the sale of the Chinese-owned TikTok app to address national security concerns.

According to experts, China has intensified its online information operations in recent years to advance its broader objectives.

China has actively sought to leverage TikTok to influence politics in Taiwan, yet these endeavors ultimately proved unsuccessful.

While TikTok was utilized in these publicly identified Chinese operations, researchers have not observed a specific emphasis on the app compared to other popular platforms.
