reuters.com/world/biden-unlikely-cut-irans-oil-lifeline-after-israel-attack-2024-04-16/
Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions
- Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.
- The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.
- Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.
- Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.

english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2024/04/12/us-says-china-helping-russia-in-biggest-defense-expansion-since-soviet-era
Quick Glance: China Supports Russia in Weapons Manufacturing with Impact on Ukraine
- China is aiding Russia in significantly expanding its defense industrial base, leading to the most ambitious military manufacturing since the Soviet era. The support includes a variety of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines, as well as technologies for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose used in weapons propellant. Chinese and Russian entities are also collaborating on drone production in Russia.
- The assistance from China is significantly influencing Russia's ability to continue its assault on Ukraine, while Ukraine's military struggles with equipment shortages, exacerbated by Republicans blocking a vote on new American military aid. US officials attribute Russia's rapid military build-up largely to Chinese support, with China accounting for 90% of Russia's microelectronics imports in 2023.
- President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have raised concerns about China's support for Russia's defense industrial base and are trying to persuade China to cease this practice. Pressure on China continues to ensure that companies do not provide support to the Russian defense sector, which could have significant consequences.
- China is assisting Russia in enhancing its satellite and space capabilities for use in Ukraine. The US is actively engaging with banks worldwide to establish compliance systems to avoid inadvertent involvement in supporting the Russian defense industrial base, which would result in sanctions. Efforts to convince China to halt this support are ongoing to prevent further bolstering of Russia's military capabilities.

nbcnews.com/politics/congress/china-funding-us-fentanyl-crisis-house-panel-says-new-report-rcna147952
Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.
- A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.
- The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.
- The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.
- Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.
