Chinese researchers can't access Nasa's moon samples because of restrictions from US lawmakers
China shares rare Moon rocks with US despite trade war
SINGAPORE — China will let scientists from six countries, including the US, examine the rocks it collected from the Moon — a scientific collaboration that comes as the two countries remain locked in a bitter trade war.Two Nasa-funded US institutions have been granted access to the lunar samples collected by the Chang'e-5 mission in 2020, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said on Thursday.CNSA chief Shan Zhongde said that the samples were "a shared treasure for all humanity," local media reported.Chinese researchers have not been able to access Nasa's Moon samples because of restrictions imposed by US lawmakers on the space agency's collaboration with China.Under the 2011 law, Nasa is banned from collaboration with China or any Chinese-owned companies...

India-Pakistan tensions flare after tourist massacre
NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD — Relations between India and Pakistan are cratering following a deadly militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that has sparked tit-for-tat reprisals and raised fears of another military escalation between the nuclear-armed rivals.India and Pakistan both control parts of Kashmir but claim it in full, and have fought three wars over the mountainous territory. In 2019, Indian jets bombed targets inside Pakistan after a cross-border militant attack killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary personnel in its part of Kashmir.All but one of the 26 tourists massacred in the attack on Tuesday were Indian citizens. New Delhi swiftly pointed the finger at Pakistan, downgraded ties and suspended its participation in a crucial water-sharing treaty.Pakistan has denied...

Mass food poisonings cast shadow over Indonesia's free school meals
JAKARTA — Indonesia is on an ambitious mission to offer free meals to 80 million school children — but that hasn't exactly gone according to plan.Nearly 80 students across two high schools in Cianjur, south of the capital Jakarta, fell ill after eating the meals this week. Most of those who ended up in hospital have since been discharged.This is the latest in a series of food poisonings that have been linked to the program, a signature policy of President Prabowo Subianto.Authorities investigating the case say the suspected cause is negligent food preparation. Samples from the vomit of students have been sent for lab testing, and police say they have questioned people handling the food, from cooks to packers to delivery workers.A 16-year-old student told local media that the...

Trump’s trade war olive branch met with derision and mistrust inside China
HONG KONG — US President Donald Trump has delighted global investors with the possibility of a reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports. But his apparent willingness to de-escalate America’s trade war with the world’s second-biggest economy has been brushed off by government officials in China and ridiculed online as “chickening out.”On Tuesday, Trump told reporters at the Oval Office the astronomical tariffs on Chinese goods will “come down substantially.” He even promised to eschew hardball tactics, vowing to be “very nice” at the negotiating table and pledged not to mention the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.But Beijing has remained unmoved by the overtures. Instead, it has demanded Trump remove all tariffs on China.“As the saying goes, ‘He who tied the bell must...

HONG KONG — A Pakistani astronaut will become the first foreign national aboard China’s Tiangong space station, as Beijing steps up space diplomacy amid a burgeoning battle with the United States for supremacy in orbit.The mission of the Pakistani astronaut – who is yet to be selected – tightens already close space ties between Beijing and Islamabad.
