China’s electrification narrative is built on a simple premise: cut reliance on fossil fuels by turning everything electric cars, buses, logistics fleets, data centres, robots, AI infrastructure, and grid storage. In 2025, global electric vehicle sales surpassed 20 million units, driven overwhelmingly by China, which accounted for around 70 % of global EV production and saw more than half of all new car sales domestically come from electric or plug-in hybrid models. This is not a tentative shift it is a systemic transformation of transportation and industry.

The annual political gatherings in Beijing, known as the "Two Sessions," concluded this year with explicit signals of a deepening clampdown on Tibetan identity, positioning Tibet as a testing ground for China's broader policy of assimilating ethnic minorities into a singular Chinese identity.

Sikyong Penpa Tsering, the Tibetan President in Exile, provided insights into ongoing back-channel negotiations with China and outlined the Central Tibetan Administration’s (CTA) strategic plans.

Chinese authorities have escalated harassment against Chinese citizens residing in Japan, particularly those involved in activities deemed "subversive" by Beijing, according to a report released by Human Rights Watch on Thursday.
