China relied on extrajudicial means to force thousands of fugitives to repatriate, human rights activists say - ICIJ

icij.org/investigations/china-cables/china-relied-on-extrajudicial-means-to-force-thousands-of-fugitives-to-repatriate-human-rights-activists-say/

Quick Glance: China's Illegal Tactics for Repatriating Fugitives

Over the past decade, China has forcibly repatriated more than 12,000 fugitives to combat corruption, according to a human rights group report.

Under Xi Jinping's government, China heavily relied on extrajudicial methods like kidnappings, harassment, and intimidation to 'persuade' and coerce Chinese nationals in over 120 countries to return.

'Fox Hunt' and 'Sky Net' operations aim at repressing Chinese nationals abroad, including activists, journalists, and religious minorities.

The Chinese government uses persuasion methods to compel suspects to return, bypassing host countries' legal systems, leading to international resistance.

Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.

The government has ruled out any post-Brexit deal that would make it easier for young Britons to live, study, and work in the EU.

A campaign group urged MPs to listen to British young people who deserve the opportunities presented by the plan.

The EU suggested that Britain had expressed interest in youth mobility deals with individual member states but favored an EU-wide approach to ensure equal treatment for all members.

Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims

An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.

The review, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, revealed that UNRWA 'plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the region,' despite issues such as employees expressing political views and offices being used for 'political or military purposes'.

The review listed recommendations to enhance UNRWA operations, including improved training, more rigorous employee screening, and a thorough review of all textbooks and supplements.

Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.

Quick Glance: US Government Considers Restricting China's Use of RISC-V

The US Department of Commerce is reportedly considering lawmakers' calls to make it harder for China to use the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA).

RISC-V is permissively licensed, allowing developers to access the ISA for free and create proprietary or open source implementations for various applications.

The Commerce Department is now reportedly examining RISC-V to review potential risks and assess appropriate actions that could address concerns effectively.

China is already embracing RISC-V, with local chip design firms utilizing the ISA to develop desktop PC chips for Chinese schools and a server-grade processor for Alibaba Cloud.

Quick Glance: Mark Menzies: MP Accused of Campaign Fund Misuse, Party Exit, and Future Election Abstention

An elected official accused of mishandling campaign funds has departed from the Conservative Party and declared no intention to participate in the upcoming general election.

Following allegations reported in The Times, Mark Menzies revealed his decision after purportedly using political contributions to address medical costs and settle debts incurred from being confined by individuals demanding a substantial ransom for his release.

Upon a request for scrutiny by Labour, Lancashire Police disclosed their evaluation of 'details' concerning Mr. Menzies. An internal inquiry by the Conservative Party has been initiated to explore potential improprieties in the utilization of their financial resources.
