-



Russia and China have started a large-scale naval exercise called “Ocean-24” in the Sea of Japan. This military collaboration is a clear sign of closer ties between the two nations and could indicate shifts in global power and alliances.


Strengthening the Russia-China Military Alliance


China’s participation in “Ocean-24” shows the growing military partnership between Russia and China. By working together in this large exercise, they are demonstrating their ability to coordinate complex military operations.

Strategic Objectives of the Exercises


The drills aim to achieve several important goals, as outlined by Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov:
  • Defending against large-scale attacks at sea.
  • Dealing with threats from unmanned (drone) ships and aerial systems.
  • Protecting naval bases and important installations.
  • Carrying out amphibious operations (landings from sea to land).
  • Safeguarding transport ships and ensuring their safe passage across seas.

Global Implications


These joint exercises between Russia and China send a message to Western nations about their combined military strength. It highlights their ability to work together on large-scale operations across multiple seas, which could impact how global alliances and security strategies are shaped in the future.

Technology continues to change how we work, and gen AI is the latest, greatest disruptor. But real productivity happens only when companies holistically rethink how they do business. As generative AI (gen AI) grips the attention of business, corporate leadership can support their companies’ growth most by prioritizing the needs of their workers while simultaneously standardizing the use of cutting-edge tech. In this episode of the At the Edge podcast, economist and Stanford professor Erik Brynjolfsson speaks with McKinsey’s Lareina Yee about how gen AI differs from previous technological innovations, why it will likely augment more jobs than it replaces, and why keeping humans in the loop is essential. An edited transcript of the discussion follows. For more conversations on cutting-edge technology, follow the series on your preferred podcast platform. Why gen AI is spreading faster than previous technologies Lareina Yee: Erik, let’s start with your research, which over the last three

Scientists have discovered a new virus in China called the Wetland Virus, which is carried by ticks. They are concerned about its potential effects on human health because it can lead to serious neurological (brain-related) complications. Discovery and Initial Case The first case of the Wetland Virus was found in June 2019 when a 61-year-old man became very ill after being bitten by ticks in a northern Chinese wetland park. He had severe symptoms like fever, headaches, and vomiting. This case led scientists to investigate the virus further. The Wetland Virus is classified as Orthonairovirus, a type of virus that is often spread through tick bites. This scientific classification helps researchers understand which group of viruses it belongs to and how it may behave. Symptoms and Effects At least 17 people in China who were bitten by ticks have shown symptoms of the Wetland Virus. These symptoms include Fever, Dizziness, Headache, Tiredness (malaise), Joint pain (arthritis), Back pain,

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that Sweden became the first country outside of Africa to report a case of the emerging clade I variant of mpox, on August 15, 2024. Due to the rapid spread of clade 1b, a variant of clade 1, the WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). In the United States, mpox has been detected in wastewater at three locations, mainly in California and Illinois, linked to clade II, which was part of the 2022 outbreak. The more dangerous clade I, common in Africa, has not been detected in the US. Statistics and Spread: In 2024, over 2,100 confirmed mpox cases and 13 deaths were reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and eleven other countries, including Burundi, Cameroon, and Nigeria. This marks a significant increase from the previous year, which saw 1,145 confirmed cases and seven deaths. Vaccine Development: In response to the outbreak, the WHO is fast-tracking the Emergency Use Listing (EUL) process for mpox
