China's second-quarter economic growth came in at just over 4%, the slowest rate in more than three years, falling below Beijing's full-year target.
In March, China lowered its annual growth target to between 4.5–5%, the least ambitious target since 1991.
Iran struck at least seven commercial ships in a single week, leaving nearly a dozen crew members killed, wounded, or missing. The US has reinstated a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump demanding full control — a goal that military analysts say would require eliminating Iran's drone and missile capabilities.
China's economy grew just over 4% in Q2 2026, the slowest pace in more than three years. While export booms in AI goods and electric vehicles offered partial support, youth unemployment and weak domestic demand exposed deep structural cracks — and Beijing's own target is now the least ambitious since 1991.

DHS has now paused all such stops, with border czar Tom Homan ordering a review of ICE officer training, while no video evidence has been presented to support the agency's claims about the men.
New York just became the first US state to put the brakes on large AI data center development. Governor Kathy Hochul's moratorium could last up to a year while the state writes new environmental and energy standards — and she wants to strip away sales tax exemptions too, as dozens of other states watch closely.
