Its aggressive posture in world affairs and its relentlessly tight grip on domestic society have led to what it most fears—a return to the politics of containment. Countries—in Asia and globally—are now fully in doubt that China intends a peaceful rise to superpower status and are defending themselves by various economic, diplomatic, and military measures. After three decades of a restrained foreign policy that reassured the world about its benign intentions, China has overreached, and the costs are piling up both domestically and internationally. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/RCPykaLB.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/RCPykaLB 117 2022-10-17T19:58:43+00:00 no no https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Tgtxhg4z/poster.jpg?width=720 Russia's Putin, China's Xi Hold Talks in Uzbekistan It’s unlikely anything will top last time around. When Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin last met face-to-face during the Beijing Winter Olympics on Feb. 4, the Chinese and Russian leaders stunned the world by announcing a partnership “without limits,” before Putin ripped up the international order with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine less than three weeks later. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Tgtxhg4z.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/Tgtxhg4z 34 2022-09-15T19:39:49+00:00 no no https://time.com/6220577/alabama-black-majority-voting-districts-midterms/ https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/PuNTXx5P/poster.jpg?width=720 Brazilians React to Surprising Presidential Election Results Brazilians were largely surprised by Sunday's general election results as President Jair Bolsonaro, who is seeking reelection, outperformed the polls in the first round, forcing a run-off while proving that the far-right wave he rode to the presidency remains a force - and giving the world yet another example of surveys missing the mark. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/PuNTXx5P.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/PuNTXx5P 96 2022-10-04T19:42:58+00:00 no no https://time.com/6216670/trump-truth-social-struggles/ https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/9V9iFmQG/poster.jpg?width=720 Jan. 6 Hearings: What We Know So Far Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson said last week that Wednesday afternoon’s public session stands to be the last time the House committee investigating the deadly Capitol attack of Jan. 6, 2021 presents its findings before issuing a much-anticipated report later this year. The panel also remains undecided on whether that report might include a criminal referral to the Department of Justice over the actions of President Donald Trump and those in his orbit that day. But, as has been the case all along, the committee could gavel into session again at a moment’s notice should more information come to light—and it seems like every week the investigators are finding new evidence that slices at Trump and his crew. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9V9iFmQG.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/9V9iFmQG 349 2022-09-27T18:55:54+00:00 no no https://time.com/5852619/angela-lansbury-dies/ https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/jze0UEYZ/poster.jpg?width=720 Meet the 2022 Nobel Prize Winners The Peace Prize is one of six awards established by Swedish chemist (and inventor of dynamite) Alfred Nobel in 1895. The prize is considered the most expansive in its recognition, given that it awards people “who have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/jze0UEYZ.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/jze0UEYZ 364 2022-10-07T20:13:26+00:00 no no
