Xi Mingze, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s only daughter, is back in headlines amid US-China tensions. The Harvard-educated Xi reportedly resides in Massachusetts under tight security. Her speculated presence in the US draws fresh attention as Washington moves to revoke student visas linked to the Chinese Communist Party. With Trump targeting Harvard over non-compliance and Marco Rubio pushing stricter visa policies, Xi Mingze’s future in the US looks uncertain. Beijing has slammed the decision, demanding answers. Reports also suggest she may now be a research student in Cambridge.

The U.S. is ramping up its anti-China stance with new visa restrictions targeting Chinese students. Senator Marco Rubio revealed plans to revoke visas of students with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party or sensitive academic fields. China has condemned the move, accusing the U.S. of politicizing education and harming international cooperation. With Chinese students making up the second-largest international group in the U.S., these policies could disrupt academic institutions and worsen U.S.-China relations. The State Department has also paused new interviews and expanded social media screening for applicants.

Harvard University is at the center of a growing political and national security firestorm. The Trump administration has moved to revoke the school’s ability to enroll foreign students, accusing the Ivy League giant of harboring Chinese Communist Party influence and fostering antisemitism. Nearly 7,000 international students could be forced to leave — a fifth of them from China — if the policy moves forward.

In a dramatic escalation, President Trump has stripped Harvard University of its SEVP status, effectively banning international student enrollment. Nearly 7,000 students face deportation unless they transfer within 72 hours. The move, tied to demands to end DEI initiatives and Crack down on antisemitism, freezes $2.2 billion in federal funding. Homeland Security cites Harvard’s alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. University officials call it political retaliation, warning of devastating impacts on research, global collaboration, and academic freedom.

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China.

A massive explosion rocked the Singapore-flagged container ship MV Wan Hai 503 off Kerala’s coast on Monday. The underdeck blast triggered thick smoke and fire, prompting 18 of the 22 crew to abandon ship. The Indian Navy swiftly diverted INS Surat for rescue, while the Coast Guard joined evacuation efforts. The vessel, en route from Colombo to Mumbai, remains adrift and burning. The Navy is deploying a Dornier aircraft to assess the situation. The incident follows a recent cargo ship sinking nearby.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.

A massive tunnel collapse in Wilmington, Los Angeles triggered a high-stakes rescue mission as 31 workers were trapped deep underground — some nearly 6 miles from the only access point. The tunnel, still under construction and designed to carry wastewater, gave way late Wednesday night.
LAFD deployed over 100 personnel, including specialized confined-space rescue units, to navigate debris-filled passages and pitch-black tunnels. Some workers had to scramble over mounds of loose soil to reach safety. Thanks to relentless efforts, all 31 trapped workers were pulled out alive — a true miracle under the city.
Mayor Karen Bass confirmed the successful rescue and praised the emergency teams’ rapid response. This is a chilling reminder of the hidden dangers beneath our cities — and the heroes ready to face them.
