China's "no-limits" partnership with Russia and its growing ties to Iran expose Beijing’s willingness to back rogue states and dictatorships for its own gain. Yet, as recent foreign affair reports from our sources points out, this fragile alliance is built on shaky ground. China props up Putin with arms, energy deals, and propaganda, yet Moscow remains an unreliable partner, bogged down in a disastrous Ukraine war.

Foreign investment is vanishing, capital flight is reaching historic levels, and the property sector—the backbone of China’s "miracle growth"—is crumbling under a mountain of bad debt. Beijing’s official statistics paint a rosy picture, but the numbers they don’t want you to see tell a far darker tale.

In a stunning escalation of economic warfare, China’s desperate demand for the return of its gold from U.S. vaults has been met with a cold, hard refusal. Beijing, already flailing under the weight of a collapsing real estate sector, dwindling foreign investment, and a population crisis, now faces a financial nightmare that could shatter its economic ambitions.

The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) has echoed the concerns raised by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, regarding the deteriorating human rights situation in Tibet. In his Global Update before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva today, Türk explicitly mentioned Tibet, stating that he is "concerned about the impact of education policy and the restriction of freedom of expression and religion in the Tibet Autonomous Region." He further emphasized his commitment to continuing discussions on these issues with the Chinese government.

In the storied annals of China—a land where honor and tradition have long been revered—the recent expulsion of former aerospace defence executive Tan Ruisong...

At the 17th Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy, former Tibetan political prisoner Namkyi delivered a compelling testimony detailing the severe human rights abuses endured by Tibetans under Chinese rule. Her speech, delivered on Tuesday in Geneva, Switzerland, brought global attention to the ongoing repression in Tibet and underscored the need for international action.

As the 58th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) approaches, Tibetan representatives have submitted a statement voicing grave concerns over human rights abuses in Tibet, particularly the construction of the Medog Dam. The delegation, which arrived in Geneva on February 9, 2025, engaged in a five-day advocacy campaign from February 10 to 14, aiming to raise awareness of Tibet's deteriorating human rights situation.

Recent developments have intensified tensions between Panama and China, primarily due to Panama's decision to distance itself from China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) under U.S. pressure. The move signals a significant shift in Panama’s foreign policy, aligning more closely with American interests and raising concerns about the broader geopolitical implications in the region.

In yet another brazen display of disregard for human rights and international scrutiny, China has ignored a damning letter from 13 United Nations Special Rapporteurs condemning the construction of the Kamtok Dam in Dege County, Tibet. The letter, dated 8 July 2024, was made public on 6 September after Beijing predictably failed to respond within the given 60-day deadline. The dam project, which threatens to forcibly displace thousands of Tibetans, destroy centuries-old monasteries, and wreak environmental havoc, has faced vehement local opposition since its proposal in 2012.

Gyalo Thondup, the elder brother of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and a pivotal figure in Tibetan politics, passed away peacefully at his home in Kalimpong on Saturday at the age of 97. His passing marks the end of an era for Tibetans in exile, as he was one of the last surviving figures from the early years of the Tibetan struggle against Chinese occupation.
