Chinese President Xi Jinping will not attend next week's Brics summit in Rio de Janeiro, marking his first-ever absence from the gathering of leading emerging economies, the Post learned from multiple sources.
US President Donald Trump's declaration on Tuesday that China 'can now continue' to buy Iranian oil did not signal a change in Washington's policy on banning such trade, the White House said.

Correspondence obtained by the Post reveals President Roberta Metsola's efforts to normalise ties with Beijing in recent months, after four years of estrangement. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the recent history, not everyone is pleased.

Trump considers more Patriots for Ukraine, says Putin ‘really has to end' the war
US President Donald Trump indicated on Wednesday that he would consider providing more of the Patriot missiles that Ukraine needs to defend against mounting Russian strikes, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin 'really has to end that war'. Advertisement His remarks came after a 50-minute meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of a Nato summit in The Hague. Both leaders described it as a positive step in a conflict that Trump described as 'more difficult than other wars'. During a press conference in which he celebrated his own diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, Trump said the Patriots were 'very hard to get' but that 'we are going to see if we can make some of them available'. Zelensky mentioned air-defence systems but it was not immediately clear whether Trump was referring to more missiles or complete batteries. Trump also left open the possibility of providing more military aid to Kyiv, which has suffered grinding Russian advances on the battlefield in recent months. Advertisement He had previously shown no sign of resuming the donations of weaponry to Ukraine that his predecessor Joe Biden had instituted after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.

At ‘Summer Davos', Li Qiang vows China will be ‘mega-sized' consumption power
Premier Li Qiang has pledged that China will become a 'consumption powerhouse' capable of fuelling domestic and global growth, even as he acknowledged the country was grappling with a slump in cross-border investment and persistent trade tensions. Speaking at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Tianjin on Wednesday, Li reiterated Beijing's commitment to boosting demand in the world's second-largest economy and defending globalisation. 'This will make China a mega-sized consumption powerhouse, on top of being a manufacturing powerhouse,' Li said at the gathering, also known as Summer Davos. 'We are on track to become a high-income country supported by robust consumption upgrades,' he added. Beijing's pivot towards stimulating household spending has gained urgency amid a volatile trade war with the United States and rising global uncertainty. Consumer activity picked up in May, helping offset pressure on manufacturing and exports in a challenging tariff environment. Retail sales rose by 6.4 per cent year on year, compared to 5.1 per cent in April.

China's top prosecutor vows crackdown on torture in rare admission
China's top prosecutor has issued a rare admission that torture and unlawful detention takes place in the country's justice system, vowing to crack down on illegal practices by law enforcement officials. China's opaque justice system has long been criticised over the disappearance of defendants, the targeting of dissidents and regularly forcing confessions through torture. The country's top prosecutorial body the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) has occasionally called out abuses while President Xi Jinping has vowed to reduce corruption and improve transparency in the legal system. The SPP announced Tuesday the creation of a new investigation department to target judicial officers who 'infringe on citizens' rights' through unlawful detention, illegal searches and torture to extract confessions. Its establishment 'reflects the high importance… attached to safeguarding judicial fairness, and a clear stance on severely punishing judicial corruption', the SPP said in a statement. China has frequently denied allegations of torture levelled at it by the United Nations and rights bodies, particularly accusations of ill-treatment of political dissidents and minorities. But several recent cases involving the mistreatment of suspects have drawn public ire despite China's strictly controlled media. A senior executive at a mobile gaming company in Beijing died in custody in April 2024, allegedly taking his own life, after public security officials detained him for more than four months in the northern region of Inner Mongolia. The man had been held under the residential surveillance at a designated location (RSDL) system, where suspects are detained incognito for long stretches without charge, access to lawyers and sometimes any contact with the outside world. Several public security officials were accused in court this month of torturing a suspect to death in 2022, including by using electric shocks and plastic pipes, while he was held under RSDL. The SPP also released details last year of a 2019 case in which several police officers were jailed for using starvation and sleep deprivation on a suspect and restricting his access to medical treatment. The suspect was eventually left in a 'vegetative state', the SPP said. Chinese law states that torture and using violence to force confessions are punishable by up to three years in prison, with more serious punishment if the torture causes injuries or the death of the victim.
