Fight against corruption a protracted battle with no finish line, official says
China’s battle against corruption is an enduring struggle with no definitive conclusion, according to Jiang Jinquan, Director of the Policy Research Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. Speaking at a press conference on October 24, 2025, Jiang emphasized the continuous refinement of the Party and national supervisory systems, alongside strengthened regulation and oversight of power allocation and its execution. His remarks were made while outlining the major objectives for China’s economic and social development over the next five years, following the conclusion of the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in Beijing. The session adopted the Recommendations of the CPC Central Committee for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development, which underscores China’s unwavering commitment to combating corruption through a comprehensive and persistent campaign. Jiang highlighted the Party’s ‘zero tolerance’ stance on corruption, its determination to impose strict penalties, and its resolve to eradicate corrupt practices entirely. Additionally, the recommendations stress the ongoing implementation of the central Party leadership’s eight-point code, aimed at improving Party and government conduct, fostering closer ties with the public, and rectifying inappropriate practices, including formalism, to alleviate the burden on grassroots workers. The document also calls for the development of grassroots Party organizations across various sectors, urging them to lead by example in serving the public and advancing reform and development. Furthermore, the recommendations emphasize the importance of intra-Party democracy to ensure decisions are made scientifically, democratically, and legally, which is vital for addressing risks and challenges and promoting steady, sustainable economic and social progress.

China’s military buildup: yesterday’s news or tomorrow’s?
On September 3, the world witnessed a grand display of China’s military might as thousands of troops paraded through Tiananmen Square. This event, orchestrated under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping, was not merely a ceremonial showcase but a strategic message to global powers, particularly the United States. The parade featured advanced weaponry, including hypersonic missiles, drones, and laser-powered defense systems, underscoring China’s rapid military modernization and its aspirations to rival the U.S. in global influence. Xi, who rose from humble beginnings to become China’s paramount leader, has consistently emphasized the importance of national strength and sovereignty, often referencing China’s ‘Century of Humiliation’ as a cautionary tale. The event also highlighted China’s growing naval capabilities, with new aircraft carriers and advanced warships poised to challenge U.S. dominance in the Pacific. However, China’s ambitions are not without vulnerabilities. Its heavy reliance on oil imports and economic dependencies pose significant risks in the event of conflict, particularly over Taiwan. Xi’s assertive stance on Taiwan has raised concerns about potential military confrontations, which could have far-reaching consequences for global stability. The parade, attended by leaders from 26 nations, including Russia and North Korea, served as a reminder of China’s growing geopolitical clout and its determination to reshape the global order.

Kim Kardashian says she was diagnosed with brain aneurysm
Kim Kardashian, the renowned reality TV star and entrepreneur, has disclosed her diagnosis of a brain aneurysm. The 45-year-old made the revelation during a teaser for the seventh season of her popular reality series, ‘The Kardashians,’ which premiered on Hulu on Thursday. In the clip, Kardashian mentions, ‘There’s, like, a little aneurysm,’ prompting a surprised reaction from her sister, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, who exclaims, ‘Whoa.’ Kardashian suggests that stress may have contributed to her condition, as footage in the teaser shows her undergoing a brain scan. Brain aneurysms, which are bulging areas on blood vessels in the brain, are relatively common, affecting about 1 in 50 people. Many individuals remain unaware of their condition, as unruptured aneurysms often do not present symptoms. However, if an aneurysm grows large or ruptures, it can lead to severe complications such as intense headaches, speech difficulties, or even life-threatening strokes. Dr. Shazam Hussain, director of the Cerebrovascular Center at the Cleveland Clinic, likened aneurysms to ‘a weak spot on a tire.’ While not all aneurysms require treatment, factors such as size, location, and family history influence medical decisions. Dr. Aditya Pandey, chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at University of Michigan Health, emphasized that smoking and uncontrolled high blood pressure increase the risk of aneurysms. Kardashian’s publicist has not yet commented on whether she is experiencing symptoms or undergoing treatment. The star has previously advocated for full-body MRI scans, despite medical warnings about their limited utility for all patients.
