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: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

US government reportedly ponders crimping China's use of RISC-V: Permissive licenses may be about to collide with geopolitics

theregister.com/2024/04/24/us_commerce_china_risc_v_investigation/

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: 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.

ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

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.

Quick Glance: India, China urged to address 'prolonged situation' on borders, Modi says

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India and China should urgently address the 'prolonged situation' on their border, emphasizing the strained relations between the two countries since a clash between their troops in the disputed Himalayan frontier in 2020.

Modi highlighted the importance of peace on the border for normal relations with China, expressing India's commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty and dignity. He has focused on internal security and strong foreign policy as key campaign themes for his third term bid.

Emphasizing the significance of the relationship with China, Modi stressed the importance of peaceful relations between the two neighbors for the entire region and the world. The India-China border, spanning 3,800 km, much of it poorly demarcated, has been a historical point of contention, including a war in 1962.

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