POPE Funeral Latest: Chinese Defy Xi Jinping's Regime, Bid Farewell to POPE Despite Beijing’s Hate
China’s state-sanctioned Catholic church has branded Pope Francis a “Western stooge” and criticized Vatican–Beijing agreements as threats to national sovereignty.
Underground congregations are now pressing for unity despite strict party surveillance, while hardline officials accuse the late pontiff of meddling in Chinese religious policy.
Human rights groups condemn the broader crackdown on Christians, even as experts like Michel Chambon praise Francis’s diplomatic reset with Beijing.
With the next papal selection looming, Chinese Catholics face a pivotal choice between state control and underground solidarity.
Donald Trump has once again spoken about his tough conversations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi — this time against the backdrop of India’s Russian oil imports, U.S. tariff tensions, and shifting power equations inside the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). As Trump hints at his role in global geopolitics, India faces pressure balancing Moscow, Washington, and Beijing. Is Modi walking a razor’s edge between allies and rivals?

Tensions are rising in the South China Sea as China threatens Vietnam over its rapid island-building operations. Hanoi has expanded over 280 hectares across 10 features, adding new docks and a 3,000-meter airstrip on Barque Canada Reef. China views these moves as a direct challenge to its dominance, especially with U.S. backing and the USS Carl Vinson’s return to the region. Analysts warn Vietnam’s projects could rival Beijing’s military stronghold, intensifying fears of a possible clash between China and Vietnam, with Washington closely aligned with Hanoi.

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest.
The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict.

France, Italy, and the Vatican condemned the attack, demanding accountability. Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow and urged a ceasefire. Israel has apologized and launched an investigation, stating religious sites are not intentionally targeted despite growing criticism.
