Xi tells Taiwan opposition leader people on both sides of strait are Chinese in rare meeting
Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with Taiwan's opposition leader Cheng Li-wun in Beijing, asserting that people on both sides of the strait are Chinese and desire peace. This rare meeting, the first in a decade, occurs amid increased Chinese military pressure on Taiwan and aims to influence Taiwanese public opinion and potentially U.S. policy.
Venezuela
The Venezuelan crisis represents one of the most severe modern economic and political collapses outside of active warfare, triggering a profound humanitarian emergency and the largest mass displacement in Western Hemisphere history. Stemming from prolonged institutional decay, hyperinflation, and contested electoral cycles, the crisis has destabilized the broader Latin American region as millions of citizens flee across borders. The standoff between government forces and opposition factions continues to draw international scrutiny, sanctions, and diplomatic interventions. Reporting from within remains highly restricted, making independent verification of developments challenging. The situation evolves alongside shifting geopolitical alignments and fluctuating global energy markets.
