China warned that anyone who helps the US restrict Huawei's chips could face legal trouble under China's Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law. China didn't say what kind of punishment people or companies would get if they break this law. China's Commerce Ministry said this in a statement on Wednesday.This warning comes at a time when China is trying to improve relations with the US, so it adds tension, as per Bloomberg report. The US said that using Huawei chips in any country would go against its rules, as per reports.But later, the US removed the line about "anywhere in the world", making the rule less clear. China believes that past US actions against chips during Trump's time hurt recent trade talks in Geneva, as per China's official stand mentioned in Bloomberg.Wu Xinbo, a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai, said this new step from China shows that talks between the two countries are still going on, at least at a working level. Wu also said the challenge now is to keep the positive vibe from the Geneva talks alive and maybe even have high-level talks next month.Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu told David Perdue, the new US ambassador chosen by the Trump administration, that the Dragon is very much interested in fixing ties and collaborating economically with the United States , as per reports. The statement showing eagerness to engage by China came on the same day on which threats were issued by it for boycotting Huawei.But even after the truce, many big tariffs are still in place on Chinese goods. China is trying to keep the talks going, even though there are big fights still going on about US tech restrictions and China's control over rare minerals.There's also a serious issue where the US says China is linked to fentanyl entering the US, and wants China to help stop it, as per Bloomberg report.Graham Webster, from Stanford University's DigiChina project, said the tariffs and tech fights are kind of separate issues with different logic. He also said if the US and China ever make a bigger trade deal, then the tech rules might also be discussed, as per the reports.Q1. Why is China angry about Huawei chip rules?China says US chip restrictions are unfair and hurt trade talks.Q2. Are the US and China still talking?Yes, they are still having meetings to improve relations.

Trump's hand bruise becomes internet obsession — why are these marks showing up more frequently?
People noticed another big bruise on Donald Trump's right hand again, it's showing up often now. The bruise was first seen in Spring 2024, during Trump's court case with Stormy Daniels in Manhattan, as per reports. In February, the bruise looked worse after a busy schedule of handshakes following his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. In April, it showed up again when Trump held a football at a Commander-in-Chief Trophy ceremony in Washington, D.C., according to the report by Daily Beast. Most recently, the bruise was visible at Fort Bragg military base, during a speech about the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. During that White House speech, cameras caught a brownish patch under his knuckles when he raised his hand. according to a reports Play Video Pause Skip Backward Skip Forward Unmute Current Time 0:00 / Duration 0:00 Loaded : 0% 0:00 Stream Type LIVE Seek to live, currently behind live LIVE Remaining Time - 0:00 1x Playback Rate Chapters Chapters Descriptions descriptions off , selected Captions captions settings , opens captions settings dialog captions off , selected Audio Track default , selected Picture-in-Picture Fullscreen This is a modal window.

In her article, Miranda Devine wrote that Trump gets bruises from hard handshakes from supporters and gives them back warmly, even though he's a 'reformed germaphobe', as per reports. White House blamed handshakes Dr. Stuart Fischer, a doctor from New York, said in February that handshakes could cause bruising, especially at Trump's age. Dr. Fischer also said it might be Osteoarthritis, which affects joints and bones, and Trump's old age, 78, is a factor too, as per the report by Daily Mail. Live Events Back in February, the White House said excessive handshaking was the reason behind the hand bruise. Karoline Leavitt, Trump's press secretary, told NBC News that the bruises were a result of 'constantly working and shaking hands all day'. Trump himself told Time magazine that the bruises come from 'shaking hands with thousands of people' After the bruise photos went viral again, people online questioned Trump's health, and the White House has not commented yet, as stated by the report by Daily Beast. FAQs Q1. Why does Donald Trump have a bruise on his hand? It may be from too many handshakes or age-related health problems. Q2. Is Trump's hand bruise a sign of poor health? Doctors say it could be normal for his age, but it might also point to joint or blood issues.

Jaishankar warns Europe on terrorism, says India will advance US ties based on national interest
Blunt on West's past, China ties and data security Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Amid reports of growing divergence between India and the Trump camp on key security concerns like Pakistan-sponsored terrorism , external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday emphasised that India's engagement with the US is driven by national interest, not personalities. Speaking during his visit to Europe, Jaishankar also issued a stern warning to European countries against downplaying terrorism, asserting that the threat will 'come back to haunt' them.'I take the world as I find it. Our aim is to advance every relationship that serves our interests — and the US relationship is of immense importance to us. It's not about personality X or president Y,' said Jaishankar in an interview to Euractiv when asked whether India trusts Donald comments come amid subtle tensions with the Trump administration-in-waiting over its reported reluctance to take a strong position on Pakistan's role in cross-border terrorism, particularly after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed several Indian soldiers and triggered a military evoked the memory of Osama bin Laden's presence in Pakistan to underscore the gravity of the threat. 'Why did he, of all people, feel safe living for years in a Pakistani military town, right next to their equivalent of West Point?' he asked. 'I want the world to understand — this isn't merely an India-Pakistan issue. It's about terrorism. And that very same terrorism will eventually come back to haunt you.'Taking on European countries that have questioned India's ties with Russia, Jaishankar said those nations must reflect on their own historical actions. 'India has the longest-standing grievance — our borders were violated just months after independence, when Pakistan sent in invaders to Kashmir. And the countries that were most supportive of that? Western countries,' he said.'If those same countries — who were evasive or reticent then — now say 'let's have a great conversation about international principles', I think I'm justified in asking them to reflect on their own past,' the minister India's balancing act between economic growth and geopolitical caution, Jaishankar pointed to global trends of 'de-risking' from China. Recalling his conversations with European companies in India, he said many firms were actively choosing to diversify away from China.'Many companies are becoming increasingly careful about where they locate their data — they'd rather place it somewhere secure and trustworthy than simply go for efficiency. Would you really want that in the hands of actors you don't feel comfortable with?' he said.
