Four days of notes from a top-secret meeting by Five Eye (FVEY) member states detailing a strategic plan in the event of war with China found neatly written out on paper in a second-hand store in Lower Hutt, Aotearoa New Zealand:

If this was in a sketch for a Tom Clancy-esque geo-politics thriller, the editor would rightly say "I think this bit is too silly".

Xiaomi's debut of its self-developed XRING O1 chip (4nm) marks a major breakthrough, positioning China among the elite few designing advanced smartphone SoCs.

It's another step towards China's tech self-reliance and offers the BRICS bloc and Global South a blueprint for reducing Western semiconductor dependence through collaboration and digital sovereignty, advancing a more multipolar digital economy.

Under the radar news:

Except it didn't happen. There were never 20,000 Africans moving to Japan, but the lie was racist enough to get a right winger into office.

Stoltenberg's memoir inadvertently reveals that NATO not as an alliance, but a protection racket.

Europe's entire strategy was placating its mercurial patron, Trump. The "zero tolerance" for mocking him, the groveling over budgets reveals the behavior of colonized states terrified of the empire withdrawing its security umbrella. It’s a portrait of a continent that has long since mortgaged its geopolitical soul.

The US is escalating military preparations for potential war with China, targeting Taiwan as a flashpoint and planning for tactical nuclear use.

Beijing strengthens energy/financial sovereignty and military readiness to counter US aggression, as global tensions over rare earths, alliances, and imperialist ambitions risk triggering catastrophic conflict.

The Georgian government asserts that the core of its conflict with the European Union is the West's demand that Georgia actively involve itself in the war against Russia, a move it considers catastrophic for its national interests.

President Mikheil Kavelashvili draws a direct parallel to the 2008 war with Russia, which he blames on the previous government's "unreasonable actions on the basis of trust in NATO," which led Georgia to "disaster."
