More people live in China and India than the UN estimates.

The world's population numbers are becoming less and less reliable, as seen by the UN's hasty proclamation that India had overtaken China as the most populated nation. It will stop being a reliable source of information on the global economy if its predictions for other nations are also questioned. WISCONSIN'S MADISON - According to United Nations estimates, India surpassed China as the world's most populous nation in April. Even while the news generated a lot of media coverage, India's census in 2024 will probably show that the UN's estimates were greatly exaggerated. India's population increased from 1.03 billion in 2001 to 1.21 billion in 2011, according to the results of the most recent census. However, these numbers were given by the UN's 2022 World Population Prospects (WPP) repo...

Chinese residents suing Florida over its prohibition on home ownership

On the grounds that it is discriminatory, a group of Chinese Floridians wants to prevent a new property law that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed from taking effect on July 1. The four plaintiffs contend in a complaint filed on Monday that the state's ban on Chinese and residents of six other nations from purchasing houses and property is both unconstitutional and in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The complaint claims that the SB 264 statute "imposes especially draconian restrictions on people from China," since anyone from this nation who are not U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents would be completely prohibited from purchasing property in Florida.Situation: DeSantis, who may run for president in 2024, said when governor signed the legislation earlier this month that he was ...

The US has denied any plans to lift the sanctions on China’s defense minister.

In an apparent reversal of President Joe Biden's remarks made a day earlier while in attendance at the Group of Seven meeting in Japan, the US said that it had no intentions to ease sanctions on the Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu. Speaking to journalists on Monday in Washington, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller flatly denied that the US administration was considering easing the sanctions against Li.

When asked whether the State Department was thinking about removing the sanctions, Miller said, "No, we are not. Biden "made clear that we are not planning to lift any sanctions on him or on China generally," the president s...
