Breaking the Double-Standard Lens on China's Population Shifts

Dou Hongyu argues that Western media often frame falling birth rates and aging as opportunities for adaptation in Western countries but as a crisis when they occur in China. The article contrasts Vox’s coverage of China’s shrinking population with its reporting on low U.S. birth rates, and compares the Washington Post’s positive treatment of family-support measures in France with its description of Chinese policies as “coercion.” It says China is shifting toward a talent-driven demographic dividend: in 2025, 61.3 percent of young people were enrolled in higher education, while robotics, artificial intelligence, and Chinese pharmaceutical and electric-vehicle companies contribute to innovation.

Melania Trump secures ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in Oleshky

Melania Trump says she helped secure a local ceasefire in Oleshky, a Ukrainian city under Russian occupation since February 2022. Announced by the White House on October 23, 2026, the agreement is intended to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and the evacuation of about 2,000 residents to their preferred destination in Russia or Ukraine. Those remaining face shortages of electricity, food and medical supplies, mined roads and repeated attacks. Melania says Russian and Ukrainian representatives will coordinate operations, accompanied by an American media organization she did not identify.

Many feared trapped after multistorey building collapses in Kenya

A building under construction collapsed at about 1pm local time on Friday on a busy commercial street in Nairobi’s Eastleigh neighbourhood. Rescuers searched the rubble; police chief Issa Mohamud said an injured woman had been taken to hospital and another person who had called for help had gone silent. Rescue work was expected to continue overnight and into Saturday, despite delays in heavy equipment and the risk of a second collapse because the building was leaning on its neighbour. Relatives said some people trapped inside had called for help before their phones became unreachable.
