Reports: The West rejects Russia’s requests for extradition due to “politics.”

The Kommersant business newspaper said on Thursday that Western law enforcement agencies have turned down Russian extradition and legal assistance requests this year for "political" grounds as bilateral legal cooperation continues to erode more than a year after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Between January and May 2023, 46 petitions for extradition from Russia were turned down by European nations, according to the report from Russia's General Prosecutor's Office. One-fifth of the EU nations, including Austria, Italy, Germany, and Poland, rejected the proposal for political reasons. Courts in the EU nations reportedly refused to turn over suspects to Russia due to worries that their rights would be infringed and that they might experience "inhumane" circumstances in Russian priso...

Congress responds to Jaishankar’s practice of taking national politics abroad: “Man Who Gave You Ministerial Berth”

Randeep Surjewala, general secretary of the Congress, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had handed the foreign affairs minister a "old script" and that he should read a new one when asked about Jaishankar's criticism of Gandhi.On Thursday, the Congress retaliated against External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for criticizing Rahul Gandhi for recent comments he made in the US, claiming that it was Jaishankar who had appointed him to a ministerial position and that he was the one who had pioneered the practice of taking national politics abroad. After Jaishankar criticized Gandhi for his "habit" of criticizing India abroad and said that doing so is not in the interests of the country, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh launched his attack. In response to a query on the ...

[All Politics is International] Bhutan Caught in the Great ‘Five Fingers’ Of China

Tibet is the palm, which we must seize, stated Mao Zedong. Next, we'll pursue the five fingers. After Nepal, Bhutan is the third "finger".With the recent remarks made by the prime minister of Bhutan, Lotay Tshering, to Belgian Daily La Libre, the territorial and boundary-related difficulties between Bhutan, China, and India were exacerbated. Since then, concerns have been voiced over whether Bhutan is changing its stance. This is particularly true in light of how Thimphu has approached Beijing over the matter. Evidently, Bhutan's position has changed in light of Tshering's assertion that China "holds a stake in finding a resolution" to the territorial issue. China has recently made clear moves to assert new, rash claims in Bhutan's eastern region. Arunachal Pradesh, an Indian state, is...

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. Because of the restrictions, China has declined military Secretary Lloyd Austin's invitation to see Li at a military symposium in Singapore next month. 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...

Vietnam’s pushback against China and its aggressive approach in its neighbourhood

China and Vietnam have for decades shared a complicated relationship which has more recently begun showcasing the underlying discontent between the two countries. Apart from the trade imbalance that has led Vietnam to be significantly dependent on Chinese trade, emerging conflicts such as the South-China Sea dispute have further soared the bilateral relations in some recent years. Moreover, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) significant control over the political decision-making within Vietnam’s domestic politics has also come to be seen as exerting unwarranted control by Vietnam’s younger domestic population. The aspects of interfering in its domestic politics are also evident in the close ties shared between the CCP and the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), which has also been a poi

US Vice President Joe Biden anticipates a “shortly” change in US-China relations.

On Sunday, US President Joe Biden said the Group of Seven countries had agreed on a coordinated strategy toward China that called for diversifying supply chains to lessen dependency on one country, and he made a suggestion that he may soon meet with the president of China. "We don't want to sever ties with China. Biden said at a press conference that the G7 countries were more united than ever in their efforts to "resist economic coercion together and counter harmful practices that hurt our workers." We are aiming to de-risk and diversify our relationship with China. However, the US President said he anticipated a thaw in chilly ties with China "very shortly" following stresses brought on by an incident earlier this year when the US shot down a Chinese balloon that flew over key mil...
