Rescue Resumes as Barrier Lake Threatens Fresh Floods on Nepal-China Frontier

Rescue efforts have restarted on both sides of the Nepal-China border after fears of a fresh flood from a barrier lake formed by a glacier- and landslide-triggered deluge. Nepal reports at least 489 killed, with thousands still missing, while hundreds of foreigners have been rescued; China reports 5 dead and more than 550 missing. Officials warn of ongoing risks as the barrier lake drains and heavy rain could trigger further slides, prompting international aid,警训 and large-scale mobilization of security and rescue teams.

Overflowing barrier lake halts Himalayan flood rescue on China-Nepal border

China suspended on-site rescue efforts after a massive landslide at the Nepal–Tibet border formed a barrier lake that began overflowing, threatening new floods downstream toward Gyirong Port and Nepal. Rescue work continued in Nepal as helicopters and ground teams searched for survivors, with hundreds killed and more than 1,500 missing. Xi Jinping led the crisis response and Li Qiang was dispatched to oversee the rescue.

Z.ai's new AI model runs solely on Chinese chips, boosting shares

Z.ai released GLM-5.3-Flash, a low-cost AI model said to operate entirely on domestically produced Chinese chips— reportedly using 100,000 chips and launched under the code Ox Alpha—with Hong Kong-listed shares rising over 8%. The model led usage on the global OpenRouter platform, though CNBC could not independently verify the chip claims. Rival MiniMax also gained ~3% after a strong revenue uptick, despite a widening adjusted loss; both companies are supported by China’s push for tech self-sufficiency amid U.S. restrictions, and Z.ai will report first-half results next Monday.

Affluent Chinese rethink Singapore as a safe long-term base amid global jitters

Wealthy Chinese families who fled Singapore a year ago amid strict rules and regional volatility are reconsidering the city-state as a long-term, safer base. Beijing’s tighter offshore rules, ongoing global tensions, and Singapore’s measured compliance push have pushed advisers to explore residency or citizenship paths, while interest in Singapore property has risen; some had moved to Dubai, Hong Kong or Tokyo, but Singapore’s stability and strong regulatory framework are regaining appeal.

Iran War Drains U.S. Munitions, Fraying Asia-Pacific Readiness Against China

U.S. munitions stockpiles are being depleted by the Iran war, alarming Asian allies and raising concerns in the Pentagon about readiness to deter China as resources are diverted to the Middle East. Delays in arms deliveries to Taiwan and Japan—such as Patriot interceptors and Tomahawks—backed by backlogs and ship diversions, along with war-game projections of rapid depletion, underscore a push to accelerate production and potentially broaden defense-cost sharing among allies.

China’s subsidized exports slam Africa’s factories as US warns of trade imbalance

A senior U.S. official says China’s state-subsidized, cheap exports are flooding Africa and hobbling local manufacturing, noting Africa’s imports from China far outstrip its exports (China’s exports to Africa about $225 billion in 2025 vs Africa’s roughly $123 billion in exports to China). The piece also highlights China’s growing influence in Africa through infrastructure loans and manufacturing, including a new Chery plant in South Africa, while the U.S. promises credible alternatives and a reshaped, more secure supply chain for critical minerals to counter non-market actors.

DOJ seizures domains tied to China-backed hacking platforms targeting U.S. agencies

The DOJ seized online domains used by a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group operating the QScan and QTRouter platforms, which targeted U.S. federal agencies including the Federal Reserve, U.S. Senate, Department of Justice, NASA, Energy, HHS, and NIH, as well as hospitals, telecommunications providers, power companies, financial institutions, and defense contractors. Court filings say the group QTFY was employed by Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company. No damage figures were disclosed, and Attorney General Todd Blanche pledged to stop such intrusions.

Trump-Xi trade truce tested as Iran pressure looms

Ahead of a planned Trump-Xi summit, analysts say the effort to preserve a U.S.–China trade truce will be challenged by Washington’s campaign to pressure Iran; China’s Sun Yun argues Beijing won’t back a hard push that would destroy Iran’s economy, instead signaling limited cooperation (such as reducing oil imports) to avoid a major showdown before Xi’s visit. The Treasury has meanwhile sanctioned Iran-linked entities, underscoring ongoing U.S. pressure on Tehran while trying not to destabilize U.S.–China diplomacy.

China’s Mega Car Recall Brings Hidden Door Handles Under Spotlight

China has ordered a recall of more than four million cars—nearly three million Teslas—over hidden door handles that can be hard to open if power fails; new 2027 rules ban such mechanisms and require mechanical inside/outside releases and clear opening instructions, with some vehicles getting software updates to lower windows in a crash. Xiaomi, XPeng and Geely are also affected, and safety experts warn the fixes may not fully address emergency access, suggesting recalls could spread beyond China.

China’s Auto Recall Avalanche: 4.3 Million Cars Over Door-Handle Safety

China is issuing the largest auto recall in its history, covering about 4.3 million vehicles from nine manufacturers—nearly 3 million of them Teslas—due to emergency-door handles that may be hard to operate in a crash. Many fixes will be delivered via OTA updates and warning labels, with some models needing hardware tweaks. Also affected are Xiaomi, Leapmotor, and Xpeng recalls totaling hundreds of thousands of cars. Separately, 50,000 imported Model 3/Model X/Model S vehicles are recalled for driver-monitoring issues, potentially requiring new cameras or software fixes.
