Surrey man killed by vehicle during long-distance race in Washington State
A Surrey man has died after he was hit by a pickup truck during a long-distance relay race in Washington State. According to Washington State Patrol, Hui Li, 55, was running southbound on Highway 20 near Frostad Road on Whidbey Island when he was struck by a pickup truck, also heading southbound, just after 3:30 a.m. on Saturday. Li was participating in the two-day Ragnar Road Northwest Passage race held last weekend. He was taken to hospital in Seattle but died of his injuries Sunday night.

Washington State Patrol spokesman Brad Bulloch said the cause of the collision appears to be pedestrian error. 'The pedestrian had stepped out of the designated area for runners' and was struck by the vehicle, he said. Bulloch said he was not aware of the setup at that particular stretch of the road where the collision occurred, but said that at busier sections, cones had been set up on the shoulder of the road and signs had been posted with directions telling runners where to go. The driver, a 41-year-old Everett woman, was co-operative and agreed to a voluntary blood draw to test for impairment, said Bulloch. Drugs, alcohol or speed were not considered factors in the collision. The race route covered 322 kilometres starting from Peace Arch park in Blaine to Whidbey Island. The collision occurred about 60 miles north of Whidbey Island fairgrounds, where the race ended. In a statement on its social media page, organizers said they were 'heartbroken' over the tragic incident and had been in touch with Li's family. 'The weight of this tragedy is deeply felt throughout our organization and the wider running community,' said the statement. 'We are working with local authorities as they continue their continuing investigation. We will not be providing further details at this time.' On Sunday, a cyclist was killed in a collision with a vehicle while riding in a GranFondo event near Penticton . Two other cyclists were seriously injured and taken to hospital. Organizers in that incident said they were co-operating with police. chchan@

Sweet and sour in Beijing: PM's China trip bears fruit
Sweet and tangy jujubes could soon be on the way to Australian shelves as part of a broadened trade pact with China. The agreement was one of six signed by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday as Australia and China sought to boost business links as US President Donald Trump upends the global trade order. Jujubes, a small apple-like fruit, will be exported to Australia while apples from the Australian mainland will be allowed to be exported to China for the first time. Another four memoranda of understanding were signed by the pair as Mr Albanese met the highest-ranking Chinese leaders - President Xi Jinping, Premier Li and Chairman Zhao Leji - in the centrepiece of his six-day visit to China. Australia and China must deepen economic co-operation given increasing trade frictions elsewhere, Mr Li said after a lavish welcome in Beijing's Great Hall of the People. "In recent years, co-operation has encountered headwinds," he said, adding that it was hard to find two countries with more complementary economies than Australia and China. His comments were echoed by Mr Albanese. "My government believes unequivocally in free and fair trade as a driver of global growth, and I know the discussions that we've had today have been very constructive," he said. But the relationship is not without its challenges. China has chafed at Australia's stringent foreign investment regime on Chinese firms. Mr Li said China would protect the rights of foreign businesses and treat them in accordance with the law, in an oblique reference to Australian plans to tear up a Chinese-owned company's lease of Darwin Port. "I trust Australia will treat Chinese enterprise fairly and properly resolve issues regarding market access and investment review," he told a gathering of Australian and Chinese business leaders. Mr Li and Mr Albanese also signed an agreement to kickstart a review of the 10-year-old free trade agreement between the two nations. Collaboration on steel decarbonisation, increasing tourism links and paperless certification of agriculture products were also broached at the meeting. The prime minister will visit the Great Wall on Wednesday before flying out to Chengdu in the southwestern province of Sichuan - known as the home of the giant panda.

Taiwanese businesses abandon China amid rising costs
Taipei [Taiwan], July 14 (ANI): Taiwanese investment in China has plummeted to a historic low, with experts attributing the decline to China's deteriorating business environment, rising authoritarianism, and increasing strategic risk, Taipei Times reported. According to Li Pao-wen, spokesperson for the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF), the percentage of Taiwanese businesses investing in China has dropped from a staggering 83.8 per cent in 2010 to just 2.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2025. In an exclusive interview with Liberty Times, the Taipei Times' sister publication, Li confirmed that this exodus reflects a long-term trend of economic disillusionment and rising distrust toward Beijing. 'Seventy per cent of Taiwanese businesses reported profit declines in China last year,' Li said. He explained that Taiwanese firms began scaling back China investments over a decade ago, not due to Taiwan's New Southbound Policy, but because of Beijing's own economic and political missteps. Regulatory burdens, environmental costs, and inflated labour expenses have all made investment in Chinese cities far less appealing, the Taipei Times noted. Li highlighted that China's 'Made in China 2025' policy has worsened the situation by turning local Chinese companies into direct competitors, squeezing out Taiwanese firms once welcomed as partners. 'China is no longer a friendly environment for Taiwanese investors,' he said. The US-China trade war further accelerated the decline. Taiwanese businesses, once dependent on China for manufacturing, found themselves caught in escalating tariffs and geostrategic hostility. 'Products once shipped from Taiwan and assembled in China for export to the U.S. can no longer flow through that pipeline safely,' Li explained. China's recent move to offer incentives through its 'Fuzhou-Matsu integrated living zone,' including issuing Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) certificates to Taiwanese firms, has raised red flags. Li warned that these efforts blur the line between 'red' and 'non-red' supply chains, effectively laundering the origin of goods, a tactic that jeopardises Taiwan's global trade credibility, Taipei Times reported. With China's economy slowing and political interference deepening, Taiwan's business community is voting with its feet, rejecting dependence on an increasingly unstable and authoritarian regime, Taipei Times concluded.
