China urges Philippine military to refrain from 'malicious accusations' over drugs trade
HONG KONG – The Chinese embassy in the Philippines on June 26 urged 'certain individuals within the Philippine military' to refrain from 'malicious accusations' after a Philippine military spokesman linked China to a recent influx of drugs.
'It is not far-fetched that this be another effort of the Chinese Communist Party to destroy the future generation of Filipinos by flooding our country with illicit drugs,' Navy spokesman Rear-Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad told reporters on June 24.
'China has the toughest resolve and policy against drugs and we have one of the best counternarcotics track records in the world,' the Chinese embassy said.
'We firmly oppose the baseless and malicious accusations made by certain individuals with intention to smear China,' it added. REUTERS

Pope Leo laments 'diabolical intensity' of Middle East conflicts

REUTERS/Remo Casilli/File photo VATICAN CITY - Pope Leo said on Thursday that conflicts in the Middle East were raging with an unprecedented "diabolical intensity" and appealed for greater respect for international law, in comments to Catholic bishops and aid agencies operating in the region. At a meeting in the Vatican, the pontiff said countries in the region were being "devastated by wars, plundered by special interests, and covered by a cloud of hatred that renders the air unbreathable and toxic." "Today, violent conflict seems to be raging... with a diabolical intensity previously unknown," he said, adding that the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza was "tragic and inhumane". Leo, elected on May 8 to replace the late Pope Francis, appealed last month for Israel to allow more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. He did not name Israel in his remarks on Thursday. The U.S.-born pope also did not directly address the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran that also saw the United States bomb suspected Iranian nuclear facilities but he called for countries to show better respect for international law. "It is truly distressing to see the principle of 'might makes right' prevailing in so many situations today, all for the sake of legitimising the pursuit of self-interest," he said. "It is troubling to see that the force of international law and humanitarian law seems no longer to be binding, replaced by the alleged right to coerce others," Leo added.

Ukraine's top general says Ukraine stopped Russian advances in northern Sumy region
FILE PHOTO: Colonel general Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, attends an interview with Reuters, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kharkiv region, Ukraine January 12, 2024. REUTERS/Valentyn Ogirenko/File Photo KYIV - Ukraine's forces stopped Russian advances in the border area of the northern region of Sumy this week, the country's top general said in a statement on Thursday. "The advance of Russian troops in the border areas of Sumy region has been halted, and the line of combat has stabilised," Oleksandr Syrskyi said in the statement about his visit to the front. Russia in April said it had ejected Ukrainian forces from the western Russian region of Kursk, and President Vladimir Putin has ordered his forces to follow up by carving out a "buffer zone" in the adjoining Sumy region. After Russian advances there in early June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his troops were repelling the attacks and had recaptured the village of Andriivka. Syrskyi said additional fortifications and defensive measures, including creating anti-drone corridors, should be done more promptly in the area. "The primary tasks are to strengthen fortifications and build up the system of engineering and fortification barriers," he said.

Departing US top official in Hong Kong criticises reach of national security law
Outgoing US Consul-General Gregory May said US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping both wanted to get the bilateral relationship on "a positive track". PHOTO: AFP HONG KONG - The top American diplomat in Hong Kong on June 26 criticised Hong Kong's use of the national security law to jail prominent campaigners for democracy, including media tycoon Jimmy Lai, and engage in the "transnational repression" of activists abroad. Mr Gregory May, the departing consul-general of the United States in Hong Kong, who is coming to the end of a three-year stint in the city, spoke about recent turbulence in the US-China relationship and highlighted various "friction points" including Lai's case. Lai, 77, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces under the national security law, as well as a separate charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material. He has been held in solitary confinement for more than 1,500 days since December 2020. "President Trump himself has mentioned Jimmy Lai several times now and he's very concerned about the fate of Mr Lai," Mr May told reporters after a speech at a US Independence Day reception. 'But I just want to emphasise the US government concern is not just on this one individual. There are many other people, unfortunately, in Hong Kong who are in jail for peaceful expression of political views.' Lai, whose family say his health is fragile, faces a possible life sentence under a China-imposed national security law that was implemented in 2020 in response to mass pro-democracy protests the year before. US President Donald Trump has previously said he would "one hundred per cent" get Lai, who also has British citizenship, out of the country. Mr May, who will be leaving to take up a position as deputy head of the US mission in Beijing, also criticised attempts by Hong Kong authorities to pressure overseas Hong Kong activists including the issuing of arrest warrants for national security violations and offering bounties of HK$1 million (S$162,446) each. "The other friction point in my time here has been transnational repression, and it's very disappointing to see over my three years here, attempts by Hong Kong authorities to enforce the national security law within the borders of the United States against US persons," Mr May said. These are "attempts to restrict the free speech of people in the United States and unfortunately we're seeing Hong Kong authorities go after the family members of these overseas activists and that's a very disturbing development," he added. On the broader China-US relationship, Mr May said Mr Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping both wanted to get the bilateral relationship on "a positive track", a goal he would work towards in Beijing under the new US ambassador to China, Mr David Perdue.
