Li Qiang urges Brics collective action against backdrop of Trump tariff threats

'As the leading bloc of the Global South, Brics countries should … strive to be a pioneering force in advancing the reform of global governance,' Li said in a speech during a plenary session at the
17th Brics summit on Sunday.
The premier said member states should uphold independence, show a sense of responsibility and take greater action to build consensus and pool their strengths, the premier said.
Li said Brics nations must also stand firm in upholding justice while preserving global peace and stability, championing the peaceful settlement of disputes through solutions that consider the unique aspects of each issue and address underlying causes.

AI is worsening China's population decline. But is it all bad news?

For 32-year-old Tracy Li, marriage and childbearing have never been essential life choices. Instead of following the traditional path of starting a family like most of her elders, the human resources manager at a Beijing-based company prefers the solitary life. She is not alone. A survey of around 3,000 urban residents in October 2021 found that nearly 44 per cent of unmarried women aged 18 to 26 either had no intention of getting married or were unsure if it would happen. 'The cost of giving birth is apparently too high for women, which is leading to a low birth rate in contemporary society,' Li said, referring to child care and educational spending, as well as the time and energy required to raise a family. Thanks to technological advancements, her determination and confidence to embrace the challenges of staying single have grown stronger. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to progress, Li believes it will eventually fulfil needs like emotional companionship and elderly care – traditionally provided in Chinese society through marriage and children. 'AI can already provide emotional companionship. In another 20 to 30 years, by the time my generation is old, I believe that household robots for taking care of the elderly will be widely available and affordable,' she said. 'I am now hoping that the development of caregiving robots will accelerate.' AI is widely blamed for worsening China's population decline by reducing incentives for marriage and childbearing, as it replaces human roles such as providing emotional companionship and taking care of the elderly.

As Trump targets Brics, Indonesia's autonomy hangs in the balance

This month's Brics summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marked a pivotal moment that reflects shifting global power dynamics. By consolidating into a stronger multipolar bloc, emerging economies are effectively challenging the long-standing dominance of a Western-led order. Advertisement Brics released a joint statement, criticising unilateral tariffs and non-tariff measures that disrupt global trade. The statement called for reforms of institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Brics leaders also condemned recent attacks on Iran, albeit without naming the US and Israel. Nonetheless, the US has responded with confrontational threats, including the potential use of tariffs. On his Truth Social account, US President Donald Trump declared that, 'Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff ', emphasising that there would be no exceptions. Trump not only threatened a 10 per cent tariff on Brics members but also sent a letter to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto threatening to impose a 32 per cent tariff on all Indonesian exports starting on August 1. Trump justified the threat based on the US' trade imbalance with Indonesia, the latest full member of Brics In the letter, Trump stated the tariffs could be reconsidered if Indonesia agreed to establish manufacturing operations in the US. Advertisement This not only intensifies tensions between Washington and Brics, but also puts countries like Indonesia under significant pressure. Jakarta now faces the challenge of balancing geopolitical independence with the short-term interests of trade and investment.

Gaza truce talks faltering over withdrawal

Gaza truce talks faltering over withdrawal Palestinians mourn for relatives killed when seeking aid in Rafah. Photos: Reuters Progress is stalling at talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza, with the sides divided over the extent of Israeli forces' withdrawal from the Palestinian enclave, Palestinian and Israeli sources familiar with the negotiations in Doha said on Saturday. The indirect talks over a US proposal for a 60-day ceasefire continued throughout Saturday, an Israeli official told Reuters, seven days since talks began. In Gaza, medics said 17 people trying to get food aid were killed on Saturday when Israeli troops opened fire, the latest mass shooting around a US-backed aid distribution system that the United Nations says has resulted in 800 people killed in six weeks. "We were sitting there, and suddenly there was shooting towards us. For five minutes we were trapped under fire. The shooting was targeted. It was not random. Some people were shot in the head, some in the torso, one guy next to me was shot directly in the heart," eyewitness Mahmoud Makram said. "There is no mercy there, no mercy. People go because they are hungry but they die and come back in body bags." The Israeli military said its troops had fired warning shots, but that its review of the incident had found no evidence of anyone hurt by its soldiers' fire. Delegations from Israel and Hamas have been in Qatar pushing for an agreement which envisages a phased release of hostages, Israeli troop withdrawals and discussions on ending the war. The Israeli official blamed the impasse on Hamas, which he said "remains stubborn, sticking to positions that do not allow the mediators to advance an agreement". Hamas has previously blamed Israeli demands for blocking a deal. A Palestinian source said that Hamas had rejected withdrawal maps which Israel had proposed that would leave around 40 percent of Gaza under Israeli control, including all of the southern area of Rafah and further territories in northern and eastern Gaza. Two Israeli sources said Hamas wanted Israel to retreat to lines it held in a previous ceasefire before it renewed its offensive in March. (Reuters)
