  • MIL-OSI USA: Lummis, Scott Release Principles for Market Structure Legislation 

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Wyoming Cynthia Lummis

    Washington, D.C.— U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) joined Senate Banking Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) in releasing principles to guide the Committee’s consideration of market structure legislation.

    “America desperately needs digital asset legislation that promotes responsible innovation and protects consumers,” said Lummis. “While the European Union and Singapore have established clear regulations, the U.S. continues to sit on the sidelines while the digital asset industry seeks greener pastures. That changes today. I am partnering with Chairman Scott to provide principles for market structure legislation to finally draw the line between a security and a commodity and ensure the U.S. remains at the helm of global financial advancement.” 

    “Since taking over as Chairman, I’ve led a new approach to digital assets regulation, and we’ve delivered results for the industry and the American people,” said Scott.  “We have more work to do, and I look forward to building on the success of the GENIUS Act and advancing market structure legislation here in the Senate. These principles will serve as an important baseline for negotiations on this bill, and I’m hopeful my colleagues will put politics aside and provide long-overdue clarity for digital asset regulation.”

    The market structure principles state:

    Legislation Should Clearly Define the Legal Status of Digital Assets

    • A clear, economically rational line distinguishing digital asset securities from digital asset commodities should be fixed in statute, contemplating existing law and providing predictability, enhanced legal precision, and much-needed regulatory certainty.

    Jurisdiction Should Be Clearly Allocated Among Regulators

    • The authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should be clearly allocated in statute, preventing either from emerging as an all-encompassing regulator.
      • The SEC’s authority should extend to, for example, initial fundraising transactions, disclosures and transactions in tokenized securities; and
      • The CFTC should be granted new spot authority focused on market conduct, which should not extend to digital assets that are securities.
    • Legislation should acknowledge that not all distributed ledger technology should be regulated by the SEC and CFTC.
      • Legislation should recognize the different risks and benefits between centralized firms, decentralized finance protocols, and non-custodial software platforms.
      • For similar reasons, self-custody of digital assets should be explicitly preserved.
      • Likewise, the use of distributed ledger technology and smart contracts for other, non-financial purposes, such as to manage health data, should fall outside the jurisdiction of the SEC and CFTC.

    SEC and CFTC Regulation Should be Modernized to Foster Innovation

    • Federal securities and commodities laws should be modernized to account for the unique nature of digital assets and distributed ledger technology.
      • A new SEC exemption for certain digital asset fundraising should be included in legislation.
      • The SEC should revisit its burdensome registration requirements for digital asset issuers, and instead provide a clear, appropriately tailored pathway to compliance for good faith, innovative actors.
      • Clear, pro-innovation principles regarding the trading of digital assets on the secondary market should be established.
        • These principles should consider whether digital asset securities may be traded alongside digital asset commodities, and whether traditional securities or commodities should be traded alongside digital asset securities or commodities, respectively.
    • Legislation, as well as SEC and CFTC rules, should not apply principles designed for centralized firms to decentralized protocols.
      • Tokenization should be recognized as an evolution of financial infrastructure that enhances efficiency, transparency, and liquidity, rather than a fundamental change to the nature of the underlying asset.

    Regulation Should Protect Those Who Purchase or Trade Digital Assets

    • Centralized digital asset intermediaries should be subject to innovation-friendly registration and risk management requirements similar to that of other centralized intermediaries today.
      • Requirements could include illicit finance compliance, clear and right-sized capital, custody and segregation requirements, and appropriate enforcement authority.
    • Legislation should also ensure that customer funds are protected during bankruptcy.

    Illicit Finance Measures Should Be Targeted and Pro-Innovation

    • A small, common-sense package of measures directed at preventing money laundering and sanctions evasion with digital assets should be included.
    • Potential provisions can and should be targeted and pro-innovation. This could include requiring the adoption of examination standards and clarifying that the Bank Secrecy Act and International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) extends to entities abroad with U.S. touchpoints.
    • Reforms should also consider the ways digital assets and distributed ledger technology can improve transparency, efficiency, and the detection of illicit activity, including money laundering.

    Federal Financial Regulators Should Welcome Responsible Innovation

    • Federal financial regulators should take common-sense steps to respond to responsible innovation, including potentially through increased use of no-action guidance, sandboxes, safe harbors, coordination, and appropriate application requirements.
    • Federal financial regulators should provide clear guidance affirming that many crypto-related activities are permissible for banks and other financial institutions, provided they do not threaten the safety and soundness of the institution.
    • Clear guidance will also improve and better enforcement by establishing well-defined rules and expectations, fostering accountability, and enabling consistent application of regulations, leading to better understanding and compliance.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: China Acts as a “Peace Broker” in the Ukrainian Crisis – Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: People’s Republic of China in Russian – People’s Republic of China in Russian –

    Moscow, June 24 (Xinhua) — China is acting as a “peace broker” in the Ukrainian crisis and is making efforts to facilitate peace talks, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said in a written interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia on Monday.

    “Since the comprehensive escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, China has been acting as a ‘peace broker’ and has been making consistent efforts to end the fighting and facilitate peace talks,” he said.

    The Chinese ambassador stressed that China’s position on the Ukrainian issue is consistent and clear: the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter must be observed, reasonable security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously, and all efforts for a peaceful settlement deserve support. “This is the authoritative position and fundamental principle of the Chinese side on the Ukrainian issue,” the ambassador explained, adding that China welcomes and supports all efforts aimed at achieving peace, and will continue to take an objective and fair position, promote consensus building and create conditions for resolving the crisis.

    According to Zhang Hanhui, Li Hui, the special representative of the PRC government for Eurasian affairs, has already conducted four rounds of “shuttle diplomacy,” covering four continents – Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America. He visited both the parties to the conflict – Russia and Ukraine – and key European countries, including France and Germany. In addition, deep exchanges of views were held with countries of the Global South, such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa. “These efforts have received wide approval and high praise from the international community, including Russia,” the diplomat noted.

    In addition, in 2024, China and Brazil jointly established the Friends of Peace platform through the UN to seek ways to peacefully resolve the Ukrainian crisis, and several meetings have already been held. According to the ambassador, this group has become an important mechanism through which the countries of the Global South express their position on the Ukrainian issue and which reflects the common desire of the international community for a ceasefire and peace. “In its work, the group invariably adheres to an impartial, objective and open position, and is always ready to listen to the views and positions of all parties to the conflict, including Russia. The group adheres to the principle of consensus and focuses on promoting all actions that contribute to a political settlement and the restoration of peace,” the ambassador added.

    At the same time, Zhang Hanhui confirmed that China did not participate in the discussions on sending peacekeeping forces to the conflict zone. “The Chinese side believes that three basic principles must be observed when sending peacekeeping forces: consent of the parties to the conflict, impartiality, and non-use of force except in self-defense. At present, there are serious disagreements between the parties concerned on the issue of post-war peacekeeping, there is no sign of an end to hostilities, and the number of casualties continues to rise,” the diplomat noted, adding that China calls on all parties to continue efforts to reduce tensions, create favorable conditions for dialogue, and open a “window” of opportunity for peace.

    The Chinese ambassador acknowledged that the causes of the Ukrainian crisis are complex. He recalled the Chinese proverb that “a meter-thick layer of ice does not form in a day,” so “melting” it also takes time. “The end point of any conflict is the negotiating table. The Chinese side welcomes the holding of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul and hopes that all parties can reach a fair, sustainable, binding and mutually acceptable peace agreement through dialogue and negotiations,” he said.

    Zhang Hanhui pointed out that following the direct talks in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine reached agreements on issues such as prisoner exchange, which created favorable conditions for establishing peace and was an important step forward. As the Chinese ambassador emphasized, China calls on the parties to the conflict to demonstrate a desire for negotiations, and also hopes that the parties concerned can provide favorable external conditions for the negotiation process, jointly support the trend towards peaceful negotiations, and ultimately come to a political settlement.

    According to the diplomat, China hopes that peace and stability will be restored on the European continent as soon as possible, and is ready to continue to make constructive contributions to this. “Regardless of how the situation develops, China will always stand on the side of peace, on the side of dialogue, and on the right side of history. We will continue to make efforts to resolve the crisis and end the fighting, maintain contact with all parties, and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to promoting a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis,” Zhang Hanhui assured. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Joint construction of the Belt and Road has entered a new stage of high-quality development – Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui

    Moscow, June 24 /Xinhua/ — The joint implementation of China’s Belt and Road Initiative has entered a new stage of high-quality development. China intends to accelerate the alignment of the Belt and Road Initiative with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and deepen strategic cooperation with Russia in various fields, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said in a written interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia on Monday.

    “Currently, global, epochal and historical changes are unfolding in an unprecedented way, and the joint construction of the Belt and Road has entered a new stage of high-quality development. We will accelerate the alignment of the Belt and Road Initiative with the Eurasian Economic Union, comprehensively deepen strategic interaction between China and Russia and practical cooperation in various fields, and invest even more effort in the joint development of the two countries, in the implementation of modernization by our countries, and in protecting multilateralism and the free trade system,” the ambassador emphasized.

    As Zhang Hanhui noted, China and Russia are good neighbors, time-tested true friends and natural partners in the joint construction of the Belt and Road. He recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin has attended the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation three times and delivered an important speech in support of this initiative, which “fully reflects Russia’s serious attention and support.”

    The Chinese ambassador pointed out that in May this year, during the state visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Russia to attend the ceremonial events marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the leaders of China and Russia signed a Joint Statement on Further Deepening Comprehensive Partnership and Strategic Cooperation in the New Era. The document reaffirms the commitment of both sides to both jointly promoting the alignment of the Belt and Road Initiative with the EAEU and promoting the joint and coordinated development of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Greater Eurasian Partnership. According to the diplomat, this outlined the direction for further deepening cooperation between the two countries within the framework of the joint construction of the Belt and Road.

    “The Chinese side is willing to take the implementation of the important agreements reached by the two heads of state as an opportunity to firmly adhere to the Silk Road spirit of peace, cooperation, openness, inclusiveness, mutual learning, mutual benefit and win-win, as well as the principle of joint discussion, joint construction and shared benefits,” Zhang Hanhui said.

    He also noted that, in accordance with the agreement reached, the Russian President will visit China and take part in commemorative events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. “This not only clearly demonstrates the strong personal friendship between the leaders of the two states, but also fully reflects the high level and special nature of the Chinese-Russian relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction,” the Chinese Ambassador to the Russian Federation added. –0–

  • MIL-OSI: sonnen Pioneers Canada’s First Home Battery-Based VPP Embedded in a Master Planned Community

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. and EDMONTON, Alberta, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, sonnen, a global leader in energy storage and virtual power plant (VPP) technology, launched its first VPP in Canada at Blatchford Lands, a master planned community designed for net-zero living and a reduced environmental footprint. Landmark Homes, a recognized leader in sustainable and innovative home construction and the builder behind Blatchford Lands, collaborated with sonnen, along with utility provider EPCOR, electric retail provider Solartility and the University of Alberta. Together, these energy leaders developed the VPP that can be considered the vanguard of a newly decentralized and digitalized clean energy system for the future of Canada.

    With this inaugural VPP launch into Canada, sonnen once again sets the standard for innovation in solar powered battery storage systems deployed across master planned communities as a virtual power plant. The Blatchford Lands VPP is the first of its kind on scope and scale for Canada. As a primer for broad adoption throughout the EPCOR service territory, this project constitutes the beginning of renewable energy and grid coordination’s evolution. sonnen, with its partners, is providing the community and its residents with emergency back-up power, daily management of peak energy use and demand response, among other grid services, for the overall management of the electric grid.

    As a prototype, the Blatchford Lands VPP begins with 100 sonnen batteries deployed throughout the master planned community, representing nearly a half a megawatt (MW) of power and over two megawatt hours (MWh) of storage capacity that will support the Canadian energy grid. Following this initial deployment, sonnen plans to launch VPPs throughout Alberta and into other Canadian regions, with potential to reach over 3,000 individual sites, providing more than18 MW of energy and 60 MWHs of grid support over the next 3 years.

    “What has been achieved at Blatchford Lands is extremely special, and even beyond many of the VPP market designs in America,” said Blake Richetta, Chairman and CEO of sonnen Inc. USA. “sonnen proudly stands behind our Canadian colleagues and customers, as our sister market, and as the closest of friends to the American people.”

    sonnen, Solartility and the University of Alberta envision this highly innovative master planned community VPP project to become a replicable model for communities across the province and throughout Canada. This model can also be replicated in select U.S. markets, like Texas, where sonnen recently announced a Virtual Power Plant Power Purchase Agreement (VPA) and launched behind-the-meter, battery-enabled VPPs.

    “Canada has developed into a rich and innovative VPP market thanks to the pioneering efforts and support from great partners,” said Geoff Ferrell, Senior Vice President – Global C&I and VPP Project Business of sonnen Inc. USA. “The coming together of builders like Landmark Homes, the utility EPCOR, retail providers like Solartility, and academics like those at the University of Alberta, are working together to build this innovative VPP program at Blatchford Lands and beyond.”

    With awards from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA), the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA), the Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), among others, Blatchford Lands has been recognized for its commitment to sustainability and innovative community planning. Residents can enjoy diverse housing options equipped with renewable energy sources for heating and cooling—all in a centrally located neighborhood that once served as Edmonton’s municipal airport, now reimagined as a model for sustainable urban development.

    Blatchford Lands is the latest sonnen VPP to launch at a master planned community, following wildly successful deployments at Soleil Lofts and Soleil Tech Park in Utah, Pearl Homes’ nationally renowned Hunters Point in Cortez Florida, and Mandalay Homes in Arizona, among other projects.

  • Tunnel projects worth Rs 3 lakh crore to be built in next 10 years as part of big infra push: Gadkari

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said that the government has drawn up plans to build tunnel projects worth Rs 2.5–3 lakh crore over the next 10 years as part of the country’s infrastructure development.

    Speaking at the inauguration of the International Workshop on ‘Sustainable Tunnelling for Better Life’ at MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU), the minister said, “India is entering a golden era of infrastructure development, with tunnels playing a crucial role in connectivity, safety, and sustainability.”

    Gadkari highlighted the need to reduce construction costs without compromising quality. “That means using new technologies and sustainable fuels like CNG, ethanol, hydrogen, and electric alternatives to diesel. We should also refurbish old tunnelling machines, import used ones from European countries like Austria, Norway, and Spain, and eventually manufacture our own,” he explained.

    The minister pointed out that India’s geology varies by region, so research and training are essential. Industry experts and experienced engineers should guide students alongside faculty.

    “My ministry is ready to support this initiative with equipment and training. Together, with innovation, research, and commitment, we can make India self-reliant in tunnelling technology and infrastructure development,” Gadkari said.

    He also lauded MIT-WPU for taking the first step towards research in sustainable tunnelling technology, which is the need of the hour for a developing country like India.

    Earlier, Gadkari inaugurated the International Workshop on ‘Sustainable Tunnelling for Better Life’ at MIT-WPU. The two-day event was organised in collaboration with the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association’s Committee on Education and Training (ITA-CET).

    The workshop brought together global experts from India, Europe, the UK, and the US.

    A key highlight of the event was the inauguration of the Centre of Excellence for Tunnelling and Underground Construction at MIT-WPU — India’s first-of-its-kind facility featuring a Tunnel Monitoring Laboratory and a Drilling and Blasting Laboratory. The Centre of Excellence, set up in collaboration with Sandvik and Tata Projects Ltd, aims to support advanced research and training in underground construction technologies.

    The workshop featured technical sessions, keynote addresses, and panel discussions led by eminent experts such as Arnold Dix (Past President, International Tunnelling Association) and other noted figures in the field.

    Dix said, “This Centre of Excellence is of global importance, as it addresses the disconnect between engineering expertise and practical skills. Too often, young workers are placed at risk because they lack the training needed to safely construct what has been so carefully designed.”

  • Fight against Emergency has kept democracy alive: Amit Shah

    Source: Government of India (4)

    The fight against the Emergency has kept Indian democracy alive, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday, stressing that the memories of the dark days imposed by late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s “Kitchen Cabinet” should never be allowed to fade away.

    Addressing the “Aapatkaal Ke 50 Saal” programme, Shah said, “It has been 50 years in the documents, but even today, the wound in the hearts of crores of Indians inflicted by the tyranny of the Congress remains as fresh as it was during the Emergency.”

    Shah said that during the Emergency, the entire country was turned into a prison. Everyone was thrown into jail, and no one was given a chance to be heard. The judiciary, executive, legislature, media, and artists were all enraged but unable to react, he added.

    Leaders like George Fernandes and Acharya Kripalani were jailed without any explanation, he added.

    “Some people question the benefits of remembering an incident that took place 50 years ago, but I insist that this exercise is a powerful means to guard against the return of such dark days,” he said.

    “An event that shook the foundation of a democratic nation and represented a dictatorial mindset must be remembered to prevent its supporters from rearing their heads again,” Shah added.

    “It took 21 months for democracy to return after the imposition of the Emergency. Therefore, I call the night of June 24, 1975, the longest night ever in the country as it ended with the lifting of the Emergency,” Shah said.

    The Constitution—which guaranteed citizens civil liberties, laid down judicial practices, and took over two years to draft with 1,100 hours of debate—was dismissed by the “Kitchen Cabinet’s declaration” in one minute, he added.

    “A democratic nation’s multi-party system was sacrificed on the altar of a dictator’s ego. Imagine being turned into a dictator’s slave from a citizen overnight. Imagine a media person being branded anti-national overnight. Imagine a student — the future of the nation — being treated as a threat to the establishment”.

    “Even social workers were jailed for being a threat to the nation,” he added, noting that 1.1 lakh people were jailed.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: China audit: Foreign Secretary’s statement

    Source: United Kingdom – Government Statements

    Oral statement to Parliament

    China audit: Foreign Secretary’s statement

    The Foreign Secretary made a statement to the House of Commons, updating members on the government’s approach to China following the cross-Whitehall audit.

    With permission, Madam Deputy Speaker, I will make a statement on the China audit.  

    China’s rise has shaped the geopolitical landscape. Over the past decade, their military expenditure doubled. Their armed forces became the world’s largest. They established dominance over most critical mineral supply chains. They pursued relentless innovation in electric vehicles, AI and even space travel.

    And over this same period, China has delivered a third of global economic growth, becoming the world’s second largest economy. And, together with Hong Kong, the UK’s third largest trading partner.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, not engaging with China is therefore no choice at all. Chinese power is an inescapable fact.

    After what the Intelligence and Security Committee in 2023 described as a “completely inadequate” approach over the past decade to dealing with China’s “size, ambition and capability”, we must now look at the facts.

    [Political content redacted]

    Madam Deputy Speaker, this Government conducted an audit of our most complex bilateral relationship to deliver a long-term strategy – moving beyond cheap rhetoric to a data-driven, cross-government approach. I would like to thank the hundreds who contributed – Honourable Members of course, experts, businesses, diaspora communities, Devolved Governments, and close allies.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, the audit is less a single act, than an ongoing exercise which will continue to guide the UK’s approach to China.

    It informed the Government’s Strategic Defence Review, which assessed China was a “sophisticated and persistent challenge”. It informed the National Security Strategy, published today, which sets out China’s impacts on each strategic pillar of our UK national security. And it has steered our Trade and Industrial Strategies, which analysed where greater engagement is possible – given the important role China can play in delivering UK growth.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, Honourable Members will understand that much of the audit was conducted at high classification, and most of the detail is not disclosable without damaging our national interests. I am therefore providing a broad summary of its recommendations today, in a manner consistent with that of our Five Eyes partners.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, on security, the audit described a full spectrum of threats – from espionage and cyber-attacks, to the repression of Hong Kongers, and attacks on the rules-based order. It made clear that our protections must extend more widely than they currently do, from the security of this House, to our critical national infrastructure.

    Honourable Members will again recognise that disclosing the detail of these responses would undermine their effectiveness.

    But I can confirm that, following the audit, we are investing £600 million in our intelligence services. We are updating our state threats legislation, following Jon Hall’s review. We are strengthening our response to transnational repression, introducing training for police and launching more online guidance to support victims.

    We are launching, as announced in the Industrial Strategy, a 12-week consultation on updating the definitions covering the 17 sensitive areas under the National Security and Investment Act. And we are working bilaterally with China to enhance intelligence flows related to illicit finance specifically, organised immigration crime and scam centres, using National Crime Agency capabilities.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, on global security, the audit underlined the extent of Beijing’s support for the Kremlin. The Government has already tripled the number of Chinese entities sanctioned for equipping Russia’s illegal war. And we will continue to confront that.

    The audit reiterated that our approach to China must stay rooted both in international law and deterrence. We will continue to confront China’s dangerous and destabilising activity in the South China Sea, which I saw for myself when I visited the Philippines.

    And we will continue to work with our regional partners to support freedom of navigation and call out China’s abuses. We will double down on AUKUS.

    We will not change our longstanding position on Taiwan, while sustaining unofficial but vibrant ties with Taiwan on trade, on education and innovation. We will also never shy away from shining a spotlight on human rights, notably the situations in Xinjiang and Tibet.  

    While on Hong Kong, we will insist that China honours its commitments under the Sino-British Joint Declaration, including by repealing the National Security Law and releasing Jimmy Lai.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, the audit made clear that our approach will always be guided by the UK’s long-term economic growth priorities. It provided ample evidence of the extent to which our economies are intertwined.

    China is our third biggest trading partner. Our universities’ second-largest source of international students. China will continue to play a vital role in supporting the UK’s secure growth.

    But over the past decade, we have not had the structures, either to take the opportunities, or protect us from the risks which those deep links demand. Businesses told us time and again that they have lacked senior political engagement. Lacked adequate government guidance.

    We have already begun to develop new structures. Regular Economic and Financial Dialogues, with my Right Honourable Friend the Chancellor setting us on course to unlock £1 billion of economic value for the UK economy, and positioning the UK’s world leading financial sector to reflect China’s importance to the global economy.

    Joint Economic and Trade Commissions, and Joint Commission Meetings on science. We will also launch a new online hub bringing together detailed and specific business advice.

    And the forthcoming Trade Strategy will set out how we will support British firms to enhance links with China’s vast and growing consumer market, as well as assess new tools to keep goods made by forced labour anywhere in the world off Britain’s high streets.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, the audit recognised that China’s global role does not fit into simple stereotypes. China is the world’s biggest emitter, but also the biggest producer of renewables. It offers $80 billion towards development annually. And China is the UK’s second largest research collaborator – 11% of British research output included Chinese authors.

    So, the audit was clear. The UK must develop new dialogues with China on issues like climate, development, global health and science, as well as on trade. In doing so, we are driving our long-term interests and creating secure opportunities for UK plc.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, we cannot deal with China’s complexity, unless we improve our capability to understand it – for our national security and for secure trade and growth.

    The audit showed that [political content redacted] there was a profound lack of confidence in how to deal with China, and a profound lack of knowledge regarding China’s culture, its history and – most importantly – its language.

    Madam Deputy Speaker, over the past year I have found that far too few mandarins speak Mandarin. We are already taking action to address this. Introducing a new China Fast Stream in the FCDO. Creating an FCDO global China network. Training over 1000 civil servants on China policy in the past year.

    Enhancing these capabilities still further will be a core focus for the £290 million FCDO Transformation Fund, announced in the National Security Strategy by my Honourable Friend a short time ago. The new strategy which proceeds from this audit will ensure that the Government examines the full spectrum of interests in its decision-making processes [political content redacted].

    Madam Deputy Speaker, anyone expecting a simple prescription on China is not living in the real world. The audit has painted a complex picture, but it has provided us with a clear way forward.

    The UK’s approach to China will be founded on progressive realism: taking the world as it is, not as we would wish it to be. Like our closest allies, we will cooperate where we can and we will challenge where we must.

    Never compromising on our national security. Recognising the complexity of the world as it is. Engaging confidently, carefully and pragmatically. Delivering secure growth. These are the hallmarks of grown-up government, acting in the long-term national interest.

    I commend this statement to the House.

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Schools should guard nat’l security

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    Schools have the responsibility to play a good gate-keeper role and enhance the sensitivity of teachers and students to national security, the Education Bureau said today in response to media enquiries.

    Whilst safeguarding national security is the Government’s responsibility as well as the obligation of the whole community of Hong Kong, the bureau noted that safeguarding national security is also part and parcel of the routine school work in promoting national security education.

    The bureau also said it has adopted a “multipronged and co-ordinated” approach to strengthen students’ understanding of Chinese culture, the Constitution and the Basic Law, and their awareness of law-abiding in promoting patriotic education.

    Detailed administrative and educational guidelines have been issued to schools, requiring them to establish school-based mechanisms and formulate appropriate measures according to their own circumstances and needs to implement various tasks related to safeguarding national security and national security education.

    In addition, the bureau provided schools with an updated “National Security: School Self-evaluation Checklist” in April, which sets out suggestions of refinement and good practices of different areas of work, covering national security work planning, monitoring mechanisms, learning and teaching and related resources, school activities, personnel management and training, and home-school co-operation, in order to effectively prevent and suppress acts and activities that endanger or are detrimental to national security.

    The bureau remarked that schools offering non-local curricula also have the responsibility to help their students, regardless of their ethnicity and nationality, acquire a correct and objective understanding and appreciation of the concept of national security and the National Security Law as well as the duty to cultivate a law-abiding spirit among their students. It elaborated that these schools should devise and continuously review relevant strategies and measures in light of their school-based circumstances and needs, with a view to maintaining a safe and orderly learning environment and promoting students’ effective learning and healthy development.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: How AI is helping build new solutions for government social services 

    Source: Microsoft

    Headline: How AI is helping build new solutions for government social services 

    An indigenous elder suffering chronic health conditions in a remote village needs help traveling to receive medical care. A single mother in in a crowded city loses her job and seeks unemployment and childcare benefits. A young worker in a multilingual country cannot access housing assistance because he doesn’t speak the official language. 

    These are just a few of the incredibly broad range of scenarios in which people around the world look to government social services entities for help and support. In fact, more than half the world’s population (52.4%) are covered by at least one social protection benefit.1 As these services expand, dedicated public organizations and agencies strive to administer benefits programs, enhance access to healthcare, and protect vulnerable populations—even as they face growing pressure to do more with less. 

    Helping government agencies and organizations explore the potential of AI and build new solutions that deliver both near-term impact and long-term transformation is central to our work at Microsoft for Government. We cultivate longstanding partnerships with government organizations of all types to help innovate and deliver secure, trustworthy services that promote safety, health, and prosperity.

    How generative AI is opening new avenues of impact 

    Fueled by a convergence of modern challenges, AI has quickly emerged as a uniquely transformative solution in delivering social services. Budgetary and workforce pressures, the proliferation of data, and constituents’ demands for services that mirror private sector offerings all add to the pressure. And that’s not to mention escalating cyberthreats and the complexity of business and technology.  

    Generative AI—with its unique abilities to synthesize data, understand natural language, retain contextual information, summarize content, and write documents and code—is uniquely suited to help answer these challenges. With powerful solutions like Microsoft 365 Copilot, custom-developed agents and chatbots, and other innovations that integrate AI into regular workflows and processes, governments have the opportunity to not just fix the old but invent the new.  

    Around the world, agencies and organizations have had remarkable success in early AI use cases designed to help improve efficiency, streamline service delivery, and gain powerful insights from data and predictive analytics. Here are three examples of critical impact we’ve seen in the past year:  

    1. Enhance constituent experiences with easier access to information 

    As expectations for fast, personalized digital services grow, many governments are seeing immediate impact with AI-powered chatbots or other virtual assistants to handle ranges of inquiries and assistance.  

    These innovations are available at any hour of the day and are well equipped to handle large volumes of requests for help with things like licensing, transit, taxation, and more. They let people engage on the channel of their choice—such as phone calls, digital chat, and social media—and use different languages to rapidly get the right information, apply for benefits, receive updates, and report incidents. 

    A great example is a chatbot called Boti, which the government of the City of Buenos Aires recently revamped using Microsoft Azure OpenAI services to revolutionize public interactions. Trained on an extensive government database, the chatbot uses natural language interaction to handle 2 million queries per month, helping citizens find services—everything from basic services like driver’s license renewals to public health information and personalized information for tourists. Along the way, it has lowered the operational burden by 50%. 

    The beauty of these kinds of solutions is that they ease the burden of finding and getting the best possible service, even when people have little idea of who or what agency to contact. AI makes it easier for a constituent to explore their options. And then, when they do engage, they only need to provide their critical information one time.

    Not forcing someone to continually supply the same information as they move through the system is a huge consideration in cases where people have experienced traumatic, emotional, or embarrassing events. Participation is strained when a person is forced to re-explain and re-live unpleasant experiences. So, AI’s ability to retain essential details through a case management process and retain context from queries helps ensure an experience that is not only more efficient but also more dignified.  

    AI also plays a role in helping constituents when they are unhappy with their services. An AI-powered contact center, like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center, can provide new levels of support that can enhance human decision-making. For example, an AI-powered contact center can trigger an escalation to a customer service representative when sentiment analysis detects a person getting frustrated or upset. Using intelligent routing, it can connect the constituent to the best representative based on context and need, and assist the representative by summarizing the person’s situation, suggesting optimal solutions, and even drafting response recommendations. 

    2. Boost the efficiency and effectiveness of staff 

    One of the most vital advances in the digital evolution of government is the shift away from cumbersome tasks involving antiquated websites, electronic forms, even paper-based processes, to automated, intelligent systems that not only ease data collection but also interpret data, learn from it, and even act on it.  

    With AI acting as an intelligent, ever-present assistant, social services case workers and caregivers are able to focus more on helping people and spend less time on tedious tasks than before. These new tools give workers instant access to relevant information from across data silos—including unstructured data such as content in PDFs, files, websites, and even digitized hand-written documents—all of which had largely been unavailable to analysis before. 

    For example, the Torfaen County Borough Council in Wales, United Kingdom, saw gains in productivity after they adopted Microsoft 365 Copilot, which integrates generative AI into everyday applications including Word, Excel, and Outlook. The process of taking and recording notes, for example, has been dramatically simplified, which is freeing workers to spend more time engaging with residents and providing personalized services. 

    With the help of AI assistance, a case worker can serve constituents far more effectively. Client meetings, for example, can be completely transformed. Meeting preparation can be done faster and far more comprehensively, with insights and recommendations gleaned from information across the enterprise, including from files that were previously inaccessible, restricted, or difficult to extract meaningful insights from. The meeting can be recorded and automatically transcribed, which enables the case worker to focus on their client versus note-taking. Afterwords, Microsoft Teams can transcribe and summarize the meeting, with details and action items imported directly into case management systems. 

    3. Enhance processes and outcomes with advanced analytics 

    Perhaps the most transformative aspect of AI is the power of advanced analytics. This refers to AI’s unique ability to turn raw data into actionable insights by identifying patterns, making connections, and even predicting outcomes. In health and social services, this can translate into a variety of useful benefits. 

    For instance, AI can help turn the often-cumbersome process of evaluating applications for benefits or other social services into a faster, more precise, and user-friendly process. It can analyze information against policy rules, interpret regulations to help ensure criteria are met, and cross-check submitted data with official records. This means fewer errors that might lead to incorrect approvals or denials, and greater client satisfaction. 

    Collectively, these abilities can transform important social services initiatives. For example, they play a crucial role in a new digital platform built by the Department of Human Services (DHS) in South Australia to modernize how high-risk domestic violence cases are managed. Previously, agencies relied on physical documents and semi-structured Excel spreadsheets to track cases, which hindered information sharing, decision making, and coordination across agencies. The new Family Safety Portal, integrating AI with Microsoft Power BI, transformed DHS’s domestic violence response into a proactive, highly adaptive, and evidence-based system. Referrals that once took days are now done in real-time, and 10 agencies now share data in a centralized system that is highly secure.  

    In terms of improving public health and wellbeing, AI and analytic tools can collect, analyze, and report on public health or program data to gain a holistic view of individuals receiving services to improve care. A case worker, for example, can use AI to see beyond isolated data points and gain a far more complete view of a person’s situation, needs, and history. With less administrative burden, this provides critical context to ensure that the constituent receives precisely the right support and enhance care coordination and interventions.  

    The other essential benefit provided by analytics is in the realm of fraud, waste, and abuse. By analyzing vast amounts of information in real time and leveraging data from past records and experiences, AI can spot patterns, identify irregularities, and flag suspicious behaviors far more effectively and faster than traditional methods. This can help organizations proactively detect and mitigate fraud risks—for example, by evaluating submissions as they arrive instead of through audits, automating verification in seconds by cross-checking IDs and application details, or comparing an applicant’s behavior with previous submissions to ensure they are legitimate. 

    Move forward in your AI journey 

    Virtually any government agency can derive immediate benefits from generative AI. However, to unlock the full power of modern analytics and advanced AI, an organization needs to modernize their cloud environment and ensure an AI-ready data estate.  

    Every organization’s journey is unique, and it’s important to build a long-term strategy with trusted technology partners. To help your government organization take the next step, contact your local Microsoft representative or certified Microsoft technology partner. They can help explore options, identify use cases, and transform your ideas into meaningful solutions.

  • MIL-OSI: Nerve Fresh 2025: Exploring the Science and Safety Behind a Popular Natural Nerve Support Supplement

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a time when nerve discomfort affects millions worldwide, one natural supplement is attracting growing interest from both wellness circles and the aging population: Nerve Fresh. With a focus on plant-based neuro-calming ingredients and clean-label formulation, Nerve Fresh has positioned itself at the intersection of natural science and practical relief in 2025.

    As public health narratives shift toward prevention and holistic approaches, the spotlight on nervous system support continues to intensify. Nerve Fresh emerges in this context as a botanical formula designed to support nerve function and ease everyday discomfort associated with tingling, burning, or numbness—without resorting to synthetic or habit-forming options.

    Addressing a Growing Public Concern: Nerve Discomfort in Daily Life

    With an aging global population and lifestyle factors such as sedentary work, diabetes, and chronic inflammation on the rise, nerve-related concerns are no longer niche. In 2025, healthcare professionals are witnessing a marked uptick in individuals reporting neuropathy symptoms—even among younger demographics.

    Nerve Fresh has entered the conversation as a natural solution developed to help support the body’s own healing mechanisms. Its emergence aligns with a consumer-driven demand for products that combine evidence-based ingredients with a clean manufacturing approach.

    A Glimpse Into the Brand Behind Nerve Fresh

    According to official website nervefresh.com, The development of Nerve Fresh reflects a commitment to botanical science, user safety, and product transparency. Though details about the research and development team remain largely proprietary, public-facing communications emphasize the brand’s mission: to deliver effective nerve support through time-tested herbal compounds, validated by modern science.

    Produced in a facility adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), the formulation avoids synthetic stimulants, harsh chemicals, and artificial preservatives—an increasingly valued attribute among health-conscious consumers.

    Botanical Science in Action: How Nerve Fresh Supports Nerve Function

    Rather than attempting to mask symptoms, the science behind Nerve Fresh appears focused on restoring balance within the nervous system. It does so by supporting a healthy inflammatory response, promoting circulation, and offering plant-derived calming effects—especially useful for nerve-related tension or nighttime discomfort.

    The formula is designed to act synergistically on pathways involved in nerve signaling and oxidative stress, which are commonly linked with sensations of burning, tingling, or numbness. This multi-angle approach has captured attention in wellness circles as consumers seek alternatives that do not rely solely on pharmaceutical intervention.

    Ingredient Spotlight: What Powers Nerve Fresh?

    At the heart of Nerve Fresh is a curated selection of botanical compounds recognized for their nerve-supportive and soothing properties. Highlights include:

    • Passionflower Extract – Traditionally used to promote relaxation and support healthy sleep cycles, passionflower may aid in calming overactive nerve responses.
    • Corydalis Yanhusuo – An herb with deep roots in Eastern medicine, noted for its calming and nerve-supporting properties.
    • California Poppy Seed – Known for its gentle calming effect, this ingredient is believed to support nerve health without sedative side effects.
    • Prickly Pear Extract – Rich in antioxidants, this cactus-derived plant helps manage oxidative stress and supports overall nerve cell integrity.

    Together, these ingredients work to encourage calm, circulation, and the health of nerve tissue—without relying on caffeine, artificial colors, or synthetic additives.

    Designed With Safety in Mind

    One of the reasons Nerve Fresh continues to garner attention in 2025 is its safety-forward design. The formula is non-GMO, soy-free, and produced in the United States under quality-controlled conditions. Its non-addictive profile appeals to those seeking daily-use options without concern for dependency or negative interactions.

    Notably, the formulation avoids any known allergens and does not include stimulants, making it accessible for individuals with sensitivities or those on multiple medications (though consultation with a physician is still advised).

    Public Interest Grows in 2025: Community Discussions and Healthcare Buzz

    Across wellness forums, social health platforms, and discussion groups, Nerve Fresh is consistently mentioned in conversations around natural neuropathy support. While individual experiences vary, the trend reflects a growing appetite for nerve solutions that come from nature rather than the pharmacy.

    Healthcare professionals, particularly those focused on integrative medicine, have also begun to acknowledge the supplement’s approach—often pointing out that its ingredient base aligns with longstanding herbal traditions supported by emerging modern data.

    How Does Nerve Fresh Work?

    According to reports emerging in 2025, Nerve Fresh is formulated to support the body’s natural response to nerve discomfort through a combination of botanical compounds that target inflammation, oxidative stress, and circulation—three key factors often linked with tingling, burning, and nerve irritation.
    Rather than acting as a numbing agent or synthetic blocker, Nerve Fresh works by helping to calm overactive nerve signals, soothe internal tension, and enhance nutrient delivery to peripheral nerves. The inclusion of traditionally recognized herbs such as Passionflower and California Poppy may help promote neurotransmitter balance, while ingredients like Corydalis are believed to support healthy nerve signaling pathways.
    The synergistic effect of these ingredients allows the supplement to deliver multi-directional support, encouraging a calmer nervous system and a greater sense of physical ease over time. Nerve Fresh is designed not to override the nervous system, but to nourish it—an approach increasingly favored by wellness professionals in 2025.

    Shifting Consumer Preferences: From Prescriptions to Plant-Based Formulas

    As per official website nervefresh.com, While prescription medications have long been the standard for managing nerve discomfort, many come with potential side effects or limitations for long-term use. Nerve Fresh enters this space with a promise of gentler, gradual support—without the complications associated with synthetic agents.

    This shift mirrors broader market movements in 2025, as consumers grow more selective about what they put into their bodies, leaning heavily toward transparent, research-informed, and ethically produced health supplements.

    Key Features of Nerve Fresh

    As consumers scrutinize supplement labels more closely than ever before, Nerve Fresh stands out for several defining characteristics that align with today’s demand for clean, transparent, and wellness-first formulations:

    • Botanical-Based Formula: Derived entirely from plant sources, without the inclusion of stimulants, synthetic fillers, or harmful additives.
    • Non-Habit Forming: Crafted for consistent use without the risk of dependency or chemical withdrawal—especially important for those transitioning away from stronger interventions.
    • Soothing Without Sedation: Supports calm and relief while allowing users to maintain alertness and daytime function.
    • Third-Party Tested: Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility with batch-level testing to ensure purity, consistency, and compliance with safety standards.
    • Vegan-Friendly and Allergen-Conscious: Free from gluten, soy, dairy, and GMOs, catering to a wide range of dietary preferences and sensitivities.
    • U.S.-Based Production: Proudly produced domestically, allowing for tighter quality controls and faster delivery windows.

    These features have contributed to Nerve Fresh’s increasing popularity in both clinical and consumer wellness spaces, where efficacy and ingredient integrity go hand-in-hand.

    How Nerve Fresh Fits Into a Nerve Health Routine

    Those exploring nerve wellness are increasingly embracing multi-faceted strategies. Nerve Fresh is designed to be part of a broader lifestyle effort that may include:

    • Light physical activity to stimulate circulation
    • A balanced diet rich in B-vitamins and antioxidants
    • Stress reduction through breathing exercises or mindfulness
    • Hydration and consistent sleep habits

    When used daily, Nerve Fresh supports these efforts by delivering calming and circulatory plant compounds directly to the system in capsule form.

    Availability and Purchasing Details

    Nerve Fresh is available exclusively through its official website to help ensure product authenticity and freshness. The company offers single-bottle purchases as well as bundle options for those looking to establish long-term nerve support routines. A satisfaction guarantee backs every purchase, reflecting the brand’s confidence in both the product and its manufacturing standards.

    International availability, while limited, is expected to expand later in 2025 due to growing demand in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.

    How to Use Nerve Fresh

    As highlighted in the product’s 2025 guidelines, Nerve Fresh is designed to be simple to integrate into everyday routines. The recommended usage is:

    • Dosage: Take two capsules daily with a glass of water, preferably with food to enhance absorption.
    • Timing: Many users report positive outcomes when the supplement is taken with breakfast or lunch. For those focusing on nighttime discomfort, evening use may also be considered.
    • Consistency Is Key: While some individuals notice initial benefits within the first few weeks, full results are typically reported after consistent daily use for 60–90 days.

    It is advised that individuals consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement, particularly those managing chronic conditions or using prescription medications. However, due to its natural formulation and gentle profile, Nerve Fresh is widely considered appropriate for long-term use under general wellness protocols.

    Final Word: Nerve Support Reimagined

    In a time when nerve discomfort is increasingly recognized as a quality-of-life concern, Nerve Fresh offers a plant-powered alternative grounded in both traditional wisdom and modern ingredient science. With a focus on safety, transparency, and long-term wellness, this emerging supplement is poised to remain a part of the natural nerve support conversation in 2025 and beyond.

  • The Emergency in India: A historical overview

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    The Emergency in India, declared on 25 June 1975 and lasting until 21 March 1977, was one of the most controversial periods in the nation’s history. It was proclaimed under Article 352 of the Constitution on the grounds of internal disturbance and had profound legal, political, and social implications.

    Lead-Up to the Emergency

    In the early 1970s, political unrest began to grow across the country. Opposition to the then government increased, especially in states like Bihar and Gujarat, where Jayaprakash Narayan led a series of protests. Issues like student-led agitations, unemployment, rising inflation and allegations of corruption fueled public dissatisfaction. 

    On 12 June 1975, the Allahabad High Court found then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi guilty of misusing government machinery in her 1971 Lok Sabha campaign. The court disqualified her for six years under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. This ruling was triggered by a petition from Raj Narain, a socialist leader who had contested against Ms. Gandhi in Rae Bareli. 

    The Supreme Court granted a conditional stay allowing her to continue as Prime Minister and attend Parliament, but prohibited her from voting. Political pressure mounted with public calls for her resignation.

    Declaration of Emergency

    On 25 June 1975, President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed declared the Emergency under Article 352, citing threats of internal disturbance. The government released a press note accusing Jayaprakash Narayan and other opposition leaders of provoking unrest against police and the armed forces. This was India’s third Emergency after those declared during wars with China in 1962 and Pakistan in 1971. However, this was the first time an Emergency was declared in peacetime. 

    At the time, Article 352 permitted the President to proclaim an Emergency on three grounds — war, external aggression, or internal disturbance. The phrase “internal disturbance” was later amended to “armed rebellion” by the 44th Constitutional Amendment in 1978.

    Legal Measures and Suspension of Rights

    Following the proclamation, civil liberties were severely curtailed. On 27 June 1975, Articles 358 and 359 were invoked. Article 358 suspended protections under Article 19, stripping citizens of their freedoms of speech, expression, assembly and movement. Article 359 allowed the government to suspend the enforcement of fundamental rights under Articles 14, 21 and 22, which guaranteed equality, life and personal liberty, and protection against detention. Citizens could not approach courts for relief. Opposition figures such as Jayaprakash Narayan, Morarji Desai, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and L.K. Advani were arrested under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA). The Shah Commission estimated that nearly 35,000 people were detained without trial.

    Censorship and Media Control

    Starting 26 June 1975, censorship was imposed on newspapers across India. Editors were required to submit articles and photographs to government-appointed censors before publication. On 5 July 1975, telex messages sent by foreign correspondents were also placed under strict scrutiny.

    On 20 July 1975, the Board of Film Censors was reorganised under the Cinematograph Act to monitor cinema. On 1 February 1976, four major Indian news agencies — PTI, UNI, Samachar Bharati and Hindustan Samachar — were merged into a single entity named Samachar. The Press Council of India was abolished.

    Legislative Changes

    Parliament introduced several constitutional amendments during the Emergency, consolidating central powers. The 38th Amendment barred courts from questioning the President’s decision to declare an Emergency. The 39th Amendment placed elections of the Prime Minister and Speaker of the Lok Sabha outside the scope of judicial review. The 42nd Amendment increased central authority further, gave primacy to the Directive Principles over Fundamental Rights, prohibited judicial review of constitutional amendments and curtailed the powers of the Supreme Court and High Courts. It also extended the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies’ terms from five to six years.

    Sterilisation Campaign

    A controversial part of this period was a large-scale sterilisation drive for population control. Launched in 1975, this campaign led to 26.42 lakh sterilisation procedures in 1975–76. By 1976–77, the number rose to 81.32 lakh. Over two years, a total of 1.07 crore sterilisation operations were conducted. Several states tied access to basic amenities — food rations, housing, jobs, loans — to compliance with sterilisation requirements.

    End of Emergency

    The Emergency ended on 21 March 1977. Lok Sabha elections were held between 16 and 20 March 1977, resulting in the defeat of the Congress party and the formation of the Janata Party government on 24 March 1977. Following this, the Shah Commission of Inquiry was established in May 1977 to review the abuses that occurred during the Emergency. The 44th Constitutional Amendment of 1978 was subsequently enacted to restrict future abuse of Emergency provisions. It replaced “internal disturbance” with “armed rebellion” as the grounds for Emergency and restored checks and balances, including judicial review.

    The Shah Commission 

    Chaired by Justice J.C. Shah, the Shah Commission investigated the Emergency’s impact. Its mandate was to probe actions between 25 June 1975 and 21 March 1977. The Commission examined misuse of power, arbitrary detentions, censorship, and sterilisation campaigns. It gathered testimonies and reviewed public records, submitting three reports between 1978 and 1979. 

    The findings revealed that as of 1 January 1975, Indian jails housed 2,20,146 prisoners despite a capacity of only 1,83,369, and over 1.26 lakh were under-trial detainees. Complaints about forced sterilisation numbered 548 for unmarried individuals; 1,774 deaths were reported as a result of these procedures. The Commission also noted that 25,962 public-sector employees were forcibly retired during the period, power supply to newspaper offices was disrupted, and court verdicts were censored. Media outlets were classified as “friendly,” “neutral,” or “hostile,” based on their editorial positions.

    The Emergency from June 1975 to March 1977 left an indelible impact on India’s democratic, constitutional and administrative institutions. Fundamental rights were curtailed, preventive detentions soared, and public freedoms were suppressed. Wide-ranging constitutional amendments and a harsh sterilisation programme defined this period. After it ended, a dedicated inquiry examined the abuses committed, and reforms were put in place to prevent a recurrence of such an Emergency without proper checks and accountability.

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: New companies welcomed in HK

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    Chief Executive John Lee today officiated at an Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) reception for new establishments of international and Mainland businesses in Hong Kong and encouraged companies to seize the myriad opportunities in the city to expand globally.

    ​Mr Lee also reaffirmed Hong Kong’s role as a “super connector” and “super value-adder” connecting the Mainland and the rest of the world.

    In his keynote speech, the Chief Executive pointed out that under the “one country, two systems” principle, Hong Kong enjoys the advantages of being connected to both the Mainland and the rest of the world, offering an open and easy place to do business, a long and established tradition of the rule of law, and a simple and low tax regime.

    Mr Lee highlighted that as the world’s freest economy and one of the world’s top three international financial centres, Hong Kong’s global competitiveness has risen two places to rank third globally in the World Competitiveness Yearbook 2025, marking the second consecutive year of such advancement from its seventh place two years ago.

    In the recent World Investment Report released by the United Nations Trade & Development, the city has moved up to third place in terms of foreign direct investment inflows.

    Mr Lee stressed that the Government will continue to co-ordinate the practical needs of enterprises across different sectors, enabling them to develop their business overseas through Hong Kong’s multinational supply chain management centre and explore new strategic blue oceans for development.

    The event also marked the 25th anniversary of InvestHK and served as an occasion to thank businesses for their trust and support in Hong Kong’s business environment. About 350 senior representatives from companies worldwide attended.

  • MIL-OSI China: Cooperation needed to combat cybercrime threats: Malaysian official

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Stronger and more coordinated cooperation among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is needed to counter the rising threats of cybercrime, which have emerged as a serious and pressing challenge, Home Affairs Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said here on Tuesday.

    In his opening remarks at the 25th ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Transnational Crime and related meetings, Saifuddin Nasution cautioned that the increasingly complex nature of cybercrime and the rapid adoption of technology by criminal networks require a proactive and timely response.

    “The rising threat of cybercrime, everything from financial scams to ransomware attacks, clearly shows us that this isn’t just a future problem; it’s a pressing issue right now,” he said.

    “Our digital defenses must evolve as fast as technology does. This means we must adopt new technologies, including using artificial intelligence responsibly, to significantly improve how we detect, prevent, and enforce against these crimes,” he said.

    Saifuddin Nasution emphasized that in today’s increasingly fragmented global environment, international cooperation remains the cornerstone of regional stability.

    He said such cooperation is not only vital in addressing shared security threats but also in preserving economic resilience and maintaining public trust in institutions, adding that ASEAN must ensure its commitment to consensus is matched by a readiness to act decisively in the face of evolving challenges.

    China’s poverty eradication efforts will serve as a role model for other countries to follow suit, Jose Ramos-Horta, president of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, has told Xinhua.

    Speaking following a ceremony to mark the bestowment of an honorary professorship to him by Malaysia’s Taylor’s University here last week, Ramos-Horta also commended China’s progress in food security and the support it has extended to Timor-Leste, particularly in boosting agricultural productivity.

    During his first state visit to China last July, Ramos-Horta said, he appealed for support in improving the island nation’s poverty eradication and agricultural efforts.

    Noting “We have a strong relationship with China,” he said he believes China’s expertise can help boost Timor-Leste’s efforts in poverty reduction.

    “And in a very typical Chinese way of doing things — fast action, talk and act. (Chinese) engineers for water and infrastructure were mobilized,” he said, adding that with Chinese support, the agriculture output has increased and can go up even further.

  • MIL-OSI China: AIIB’s first decade marks a path of multilateral, sustainable development

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    As the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) marks its 10th anniversary, the multilateral development bank is playing an increasingly prominent role in advancing connectivity, green growth, and sustainable development across regions.

    Founded in 2015, AIIB has grown from 57 founding members to 110 across six continents, covering 81 percent of the world’s population and 65 percent of global GDP.

    Over the past decade, it has approved over 60 billion U.S. dollars in financing for 320 projects, leveraging more than 200 billion U.S. dollars in infrastructure investment.

    From electrifying rural Bangladesh to building roads in Cote d’Ivoire, AIIB-supported projects are narrowing infrastructure gaps and improving lives across continents.

    Infrastructure transforming lives

    In Padmo Para village near Dhaka, Bangladesh, local resident Najma Aktar recalls a time when her family studied by the light of a kerosene lamp. That changed in 2016, when the AIIB provided a 165 million U.S. dollar loan to upgrade the local power grid.

    As the bank’s first standalone financed investment, it brought electricity to 12.5 million rural residents, transforming their daily lives.

    By the end of 2024, AIIB has supported over 51,000 kilometers of transport infrastructure — enough to circle the Earth more than once — and benefited more than 410 million people.

    In Indonesia, AIIB supported the upgrading of urban slums, improving the lives of nearly 10 million people. In China’s Yunnan Province, airport expansion enhanced flower exports and boosted farmers’ incomes by 25 percent. In Uzbekistan, AIIB helped extend access to clean water for 660,000 residents.

    “AIIB’s concrete actions have effectively helped bridge global infrastructure investment gaps, advanced regional development, and contributed positively to global economic growth,” said Lu Feng, professor at Peking University.

    Multilateral platform for cooperation

    “AIIB was established on the principles of multilateralism and high international standards,” the bank’s president Jin Liqun told Xinhua in a recent interview, noting that these principles have enabled the bank to earn broad trust and participation across the globe.

    AIIB’s investments span not only Asia but also Africa, Latin America, and beyond, reflecting its commitment to promoting global sustainable development.

    “Asia cannot thrive in isolation,” Jin said, noting that while the bank’s primary focus is Asia, its work also supports broader cooperation that contributes to meaningful development outcomes around the world.

    Reflecting this vision, AIIB has actively expanded its global partnerships and collaborative financing efforts. It is now the largest co-financing partner of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and has built partnerships with over 100 organizations, including multilateral and regional institutions, policy banks, private sector players and philanthropy foundations.

    On the capital markets side, AIIB had issued over 54 billion U.S. dollars equivalent bonds in multiple currencies as of the end of May, and has consistently maintained triple-A credit ratings from Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. Moody’s, for instance, credited the bank’s top rating to its strong financial footing, well-performing assets, and ample liquidity.

    “AIIB has become a new model for multilateral cooperation through its innovative operations and collaborative approach,” said Bai Chong’en, dean of the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University, noting its flexible and pragmatic support for infrastructure development in developing countries.

    Investing in infrastructure for tomorrow

    Amid rising global challenges, AIIB is positioning itself as a future-oriented development bank that supports both traditional and digital infrastructure for the long haul.

    In 2020, the bank launched its corporate strategy themed “Infrastructure for Tomorrow,” with priorities including green infrastructure, technology-enabled infrastructure, connectivity and cross-border cooperation, and private capital mobilization.

    By 2025, at least 50 percent of its approved financing was expected to support climate-related projects, a target the bank achieved in 2022, three years ahead of schedule.

    In Cote d’Ivoire, an AIIB-financed rural road project approved in 2023 has made it easier for villagers to reach hospitals and sell cashews and cocoa, even during flood seasons. Local project coordinator Gilbert Ekpini said residents were thrilled with the changes.

    By the end of 2024, AIIB-supported projects had added 21.3 gigawatts of installed power generation capacity of renewable energy, helping to reduce nearly 30 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions annually.

    The bank is increasingly helping its members embrace the digital era. Last year, AIIB launched InfraTech Portal, a digital platform that shares comprehensive, neutral and free information on infrastructure technologies.

    “Artificial intelligence holds vast potential and offers developing countries an opportunity to leap ahead in their development,” Jin said.

    “That’s why our infrastructure investments must evolve with the times. We should ensure that emerging technologies like AI help narrow, but not widen, the digital divide, especially for the developing world,” he added.

  • West Asia ceasefire unravels within hours as Israel and Iran exchange strikes

    Source: Government of India (4)

    The ceasefire between Israel and Iran unraveled within hours of its announcement, as both sides launched fresh attacks and accused each other of violations. Israeli officials confirmed a strike on a radar installation near Tehran in response to three missiles reportedly fired by Iran, one at 07:06 and two more at 10:25 local time, after the truce had taken effect.

    Explosions were reported in Iran’s northern Mazandaran province, including the cities of Babol and Babolsar, prompting the activation of air defense systems. Tehran denied launching any new missiles, while Israel cited precise timings to assert Iranian non-compliance, resulting in conflicting narratives and casting doubt on the ceasefire’s enforceability. However, no further incidents were reported after U.S. President Donald Trump spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    The ceasefire, brokered with Qatar’s mediation following intensive negotiations and U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, had been announced by President Trump on June 23. Both Netanyahu and Iranian state media publicly acknowledged the agreement, raising initial hopes of de-escalation. However, the swift breakdown revealed fundamental disagreements over the scope and terms of the truce.

    Trump, visibly frustrated, condemned both sides: “Iran did. Israel did, too. I’m not happy with Israel. Don’t go out first hour. Not happy with Iran, either.” In a pointed warning, he added, “DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!” Israeli officials later confirmed they had refrained from further attacks following Netanyahu’s call with the U.S. President.

    The breakdown of the ceasefire coincides with the opening of the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, where the conflict has already overshadowed the alliance’s traditional focus on defense spending and unity. President Trump arrived at the summit just hours after announcing the truce, only to see it fall apart soon after. The renewed violence in West Asia has forced NATO leaders to address the region’s rapidly deteriorating security situation while continuing to grapple with ongoing challenges such as the war in Ukraine.

    Meanwhile, regional air traffic is gradually resuming. Air India Express announced the restart of its services to West Asia from June 24, with flights resuming today on the Delhi, Muscat route, and additional services to Muscat, Riyadh, and Jeddah from Mumbai, Kozhikode, and Jaipur. Flights to and from major UAE cities, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah,are scheduled to resume tomorrow.

    Astana (Agenzia Fides) – “Although we are only a small flock, we feel like living members of the Body of Christ and are ready to participate with zeal in the mission of evangelization entrusted to us by the Lord: We want to fish with Peter!”, wrote the Catholic bishops of Central Asia in a message to Pope Leo XIV shortly before the Roman Cathedra of the Bishop of Rome was taken possession of on May 25 in the Lateran Basilica (see Fides, 25/5/2025).In the letter (dated May 24, but made public only now), signed by Bishops José Luis Mumbiela Sierra, President of the Central Asian Bishops’ Conference, Jerzy Maculewicz, Vice-President, and Evgeny Zinkovsky, Secretary General, the bishops “from the heart of Central Asia” assure their “constant prayers and unwavering fidelity” to the office of the Successor of Peter: “Trusting in the Love of God, we will fearlessly sow the precious and fruitful seeds of the faith of our Holy Mother Church on the paths of our mission, spreading hope and mercy to all the streets of this world that so desperately need God’s consolation.”And finally, the invitation to visit these countries, a crossroads of peoples and cultures: “The presence of the Popes has left an indelible mark on the memory of our peoples. The visits of Saint John Paul II and Pope Francis to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Mongolia are still fresh in our memory. They strengthened our faith and showed the world the universal character of the Church. Therefore, we cordially invite you to visit us during your Pontificate. It would be a great honor and a blessing for our communities to welcome you and show you the living witness of the Catholic faith in this part of the world.” (F.B.) (Agenzia Fides, 24/6/2025)

According to the Thai army, border crossings in six Thai provinces bordering Cambodia have been closed, with few exceptions for students or people receiving medical treatment. All other human or vehicle traffic is currently prohibited. The closure is the latest in a series of reprisals that have intensified since the border incident on May 28, in which a Cambodian soldier was killed in gunfire in the so-called “Emerald Triangle,” a small green area on the border between Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.It is one of several disputed regions that both Thailand and Cambodia claim as part of their territory. The two armies accused each other of firing first. On June 7, the Thai army temporarily closed the border and then reduced its opening hours. On June 12, Cambodia announced the suspension of electricity imports and closed the international border at Daung, in Battambang province, for “security reasons.”Thailand and Cambodia are separated by a border approximately 820 kilometers long, which runs through several disputed territories. “This dispute has existed for more than a century and dates back to the time of the French colonial empire,” explains Bishop Enrique Figaredo, Apostolic Prefect of Battambang (Cambodia), in an interview with Fides.”The parties involved are basing their decision on a map from 1907, which France, which occupied Cambodia as a colonial power until 1953, first used to draw the border between the two countries. Thailand argues that the map is not binding. Cambodia has appealed to the International Court of Justice to determine the territorial ownership of four disputed territories. Thailand also does not agree to appeal to the Court,” the Prefect said.”It should be noted that this crisis,” he added, “is causing hardship and inconvenience for ordinary people. The border between Cambodia and Thailand is indeed very porous and is constantly crossed by a lively trade and workers. The closure of the border blocks the flow of people and goods, so vital to social, economic, and cultural life.” Bishop Figaredo says that many people in the province of Battambang, the territory of his apostolic prefecture, are affected by these flows. “The local people are experiencing this phase with great disappointment, surprise, and confusion,” he notes. “There are also hundreds of displaced people, people stuck on the other side of the border who cannot return home,” he says. The dispute has aroused nationalist sentiments in both countries. Thailand has banned tourists and Thai citizens from visiting or working in Poipet, a Cambodian city whose economy relies on the presence of eight casinos frequented almost exclusively by Thai citizens. In this context, Thailand has also included security measures to paralyze transnational criminal activities in the dispute with Cambodia, as declared by Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.The measures against fraud centers were implemented in early 2025, when Thailand cut off electricity, internet, and fuel supplies to some areas of Myanmar where cyber fraud activities were taking place. Thailand and Cambodia jointly dismantled a fraud center that housed hundreds of trafficked foreign workers in the city of Poipet. Cyber fraud and so-called “scam cities” have spread throughout Southeast Asia, especially in Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. (PA) (Agenzia Fides, 24/6/2025)

    Why Choose Crypto Casinos?

    Crypto casinos are transforming online gambling with their unique advantages, making them a top choice for players seeking the most trusted bitcoin casinos. Here’s why you should consider these platforms:

    • Enhanced Privacy and Anonymity

    The online crypto casinos allow players to gamble with minimal personal information, ensuring a high level of privacy. This is particularly appealing to those who value discretion in their gaming activities.

    • Lightning-Fast Transactions

    Cryptocurrency transactions are processed in minutes, offering a significant advantage over traditional banking methods. Our tests found that the biggest online crypto casino’s average withdrawal times of under 10 minutes for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, compared to 24-48 hours for fiat-based platforms.

    • Lower Fees

    Crypto transactions typically have minimal fees, saving players money. During testing, we noted that the online Bitcoin casinos charge little to no withdrawal fees, unlike traditional casinos with high processing costs.

    • Global Accessibility

    Unlike traditional casinos restricted by geography, crypto gambling sites are accessible worldwide, provided local laws permit. This makes them ideal for players in regions with limited gambling options.

    • Provably Fair Gaming

    Many crypto casinos use blockchain technology to offer provably fair games, allowing players to verify game outcomes. Our team found that top platforms display fairness mechanisms, enhancing trust in the crypto casino experience.

    All iGaming’s Testing Method for Crypto Casinos

    At All iGaming, we apply a rigorous testing process to ensure only the crypto casinos make our list. Here’s how we evaluate each platform:

    • Licensing and Credibility

    We reviewed licensing details for over 100 crypto-gambling sites, discarding 10 that lacked verifiable regulatory information. The remaining platforms displayed valid licenses from reputable jurisdictions like Curacao or Malta, ensuring player protection.

    • Platform Stability and User Experience

    Our testers evaluated 90 platforms by:

    • Signing up on desktop and mobile.
    • Playing 20+ games per site.
    • Testing live chat responsiveness.
    • Processing deposits and withdrawals. Seventy platforms maintained smooth performance during stress tests, with average game load times of 2 seconds. The biggest crypto casinos use modern frameworks for faster navigation and mobile optimization, outperforming older platforms.
    • Bonus Clarity and Terms

    Of the tested platforms, 50 provided clear bonus terms before opt-in. These sites offered wagering requirements of 20x-35x and reasonable bet limits ($5-$10). Transparent bonus tracking reduced disputes, making these platforms stand out as the greatest Bitcoin casinos.

    • Cashout Reliability

    We tested withdrawal speeds across all platforms. Thirty processed payouts within 10 minutes, while five were delayed beyond 24 hours without explanation. The online crypto casinos verify identities upfront, ensuring smooth and fast withdrawals.

    • Innovative Features

    Top platforms introduced unique features like blockchain-based game trackers, achievement systems, and volatility filters. These additions enhanced gameplay, setting these crypto casinos apart from traditional platforms.

    Regulatory Landscape for Crypto Casinos

    The regulatory environment for crypto gambling is complex and varies significantly across jurisdictions. Unlike traditional online gambling, which is often subject to strict national regulations, crypto casinos operate in a more decentralized manner due to the nature of cryptocurrencies. 

    Here’s a detailed look at the regulatory landscape:

    • Global Variations:
      • In the United States, online gambling is regulated at the state level, with some states allowing crypto gambling while others impose restrictions. Players must check state-specific laws to ensure compliance.
      • In Europe, countries like the United Kingdom, Malta, and Gibraltar have established regulatory frameworks that include crypto gambling. The UK Gambling Commission, for instance, has guidelines for operators accepting cryptocurrencies (UK Gambling Commission).
      • In Asia, the situation is mixed. Japan has legalized online gambling, including crypto gambling, under strict regulations, while countries like China have comprehensive bans on all forms of gambling.
      • In Africa and South America, regulations are often less stringent, allowing offshore crypto casinos to operate freely in many regions.
    • Offshore Licenses:
      Many crypto casinos obtain licenses from offshore jurisdictions known for their gambling-friendly regulations. Common licensing authorities include:
      • Curacao eGaming: Popular for its flexible licensing requirements, making it a go-to for new crypto casinos.
      • Malta Gaming Authority (MGA): Known for its rigorous standards, offering high credibility (Malta Gaming Authority).
      • Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission: A respected jurisdiction for online gambling operators.
        These licenses ensure that the biggest Bitcoin casinos adhere to standards of fairness and security.
    • Player Responsibility:
      Players must verify the legal status of crypto gambling in their country. Playing at unlicensed casinos can lead to risks like unfair games or delayed payouts. These new crypto casinos display their licensing information prominently, making verification straightforward.
    • Future Trends:
      As cryptocurrencies gain mainstream acceptance, more countries are likely to develop specific regulations for crypto gambling. This could lead to increased clarity, enhanced player protections, and more opportunities for licensed operators. Blockchain technology may also play a role in creating transparent regulatory systems.

    Players should always choose licensed platforms and stay informed about local laws to ensure a safe and legal gaming experience at crypto gambling sites.

This behavioral training tool—designed to deter excessive barking and help reinforce positive habits—has become one of the most talked-about non-invasive pet training products in 2025, according to new industry analyses.

    The BarxBuddy device utilizes a high-frequency ultrasonic tone, imperceptible to human ears, which captures a dog’s attention without causing physical harm or distress. Marketed as a humane alternative to shock collars and more aggressive behavioral correction techniques, BarxBuddy has positioned itself at the intersection of modern training philosophy and technological simplicity.
    Surge in Adoption Reflects Broader Shift in Dog Training Trends
    Data emerging from multiple online retail channels and behavioral study groups suggests a broader shift in how pet owners approach canine discipline. Where previous decades favored punitive correction models, the modern era has seen a sharp pivot toward non-violent reinforcement.
    BarxBuddy’s appeal lies in its compact design and ease of use. Requiring no specialized training, the device allows pet owners to press a single button to emit the corrective tone. It has been particularly popular among urban dog owners who face challenges with excessive barking in high-density living environments.
    A 2025 trend analysis by CanineTech Insights indicated a 32% increase in the use of ultrasonic bark deterrent tools over the last 12 months, with BarxBuddy leading the segment in brand recognition and reported effectiveness.
    Technology Rooted in Behavioral Science
    At the core of the BarxBuddy device is a simple but deliberate mechanism: a focused ultrasonic pulse that interrupts undesirable behavior by redirecting the dog’s attention. The principle draws on operant conditioning, a well-documented psychological framework that encourages behavior modification through stimulus and consequence.
    Unlike shock-based systems, which have drawn increasing scrutiny from veterinary ethics boards, ultrasonic tools are gaining favor for their minimal invasiveness. While not all dogs respond identically to ultrasonic tones—a point echoed by several animal behaviorists—the consistency of results across varied breeds has bolstered interest from both first-time pet owners and experienced trainers.
    Veterinary Community Shows Cautious Optimism
    While some segments of the veterinary and training communities remain cautious in endorsing any at-home corrective tool, many professionals acknowledge the utility of ultrasonic devices when used correctly. Emphasis remains on pairing any corrective action with positive reinforcement and avoiding overuse.
    Dr. Elaine Moretti, a behavioral veterinarian based in New Jersey, notes that tools like BarxBuddy “can provide a useful starting point for dog owners struggling with minor behavioral issues, especially barking, jumping, or lunging.”
    However, she also underscores the need for comprehensive care: “No tool should replace responsible training, regular exercise, and proper socialization.”

    How Does BarxBuddy Work?

    According to the official product website BarxBuddy device works by emitting an ultrasonic sound that instantly captures a dog’s attention. This frequency, while inaudible to humans, is calibrated to be safe yet noticeable for most dogs. When activated during moments of undesirable behavior—such as barking, jumping, or lunging—the tone interrupts the action and redirects the dog’s focus.

    Accompanying the sound is a built-in LED light, which serves both as a visual cue and a practical tool during evening walks. This multimodal design supports behavioral training by engaging multiple senses in a gentle, non-confrontational way.

    Experts advise pairing the device’s use with verbal commands and rewards to reinforce good behavior. With regular use, dogs are expected to associate negative behavior with the ultrasonic tone and adapt accordingly.

    Who Is the BarxBuddy Anti-Barking Device For?

    BarxBuddy is designed for a broad audience of dog owners looking for a humane, user-friendly approach to behavioral training. The device is particularly well-suited for:

    • Urban dog owners managing noise concerns in apartment buildings
    • First-time pet owners unfamiliar with traditional training tools
    • Busy individuals seeking a quick-response option for spontaneous training moments
    • Pet parents with sensitive or small-breed dogs who may not respond well to harsher methods

    While effective for many breeds and behavior types, BarxBuddy is best used as part of a holistic training plan that includes praise, treats, and consistency. It is not intended for use on dogs with hearing impairments or extreme behavioral aggression without professional oversight.

    Consumer Demand Reflects Broader Interest in DIY Pet Solutions
    BarxBuddy’s rise mirrors a growing trend among consumers seeking convenient, at-home alternatives to formal obedience training. According to data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA), spending on training aids and behavioral tools increased 18% in the past fiscal year, outpacing the growth of in-person dog training services.
    The uptick is attributed to rising pet ownership during the post-pandemic years and an accompanying desire for accessible, time-saving solutions. BarxBuddy, with its one-touch functionality and portability, appears well-positioned to meet this demand.
    Increased Media Attention and Retail Availability
    As media outlets across the U.S. cover the surge in interest, BarxBuddy has expanded its availability through a growing network of e-commerce platforms. Initially sold exclusively through its official website, the device is now accessible through select retail affiliates and direct-to-consumer marketplaces.
    Public interest was further amplified by media coverage earlier this year highlighting BarxBuddy in consumer advocacy segments focusing on humane pet care. These features emphasized the product’s non-invasive nature, battery efficiency, and built-in flashlight for nighttime visibility.
    Public Discourse and Social Sentiment
    Online discourse surrounding BarxBuddy continues to grow, with a mix of endorsements, debates, and case studies circulating in digital forums. While advocates praise its simplicity and quick impact, some skeptics raise concerns over its long-term behavioral impact without complementary training.
    Nonetheless, the dominant narrative has remained largely favorable, especially among pet owners looking for tools that don’t rely on pain-based deterrents. This sentiment aligns with a 2025 YouGov survey, which found that 71% of dog owners prefer behavioral correction devices that do not use electric shocks or pronged pressure.
    How to Start Using BarxBuddy
    According to the official product website, Getting started with BarxBuddy requires no professional training or special setup. Pet owners can begin using the device by following these steps:

    1. Insert the batteries that come included with the device.
    2. Hold the device comfortably in hand and keep it within reach when around your dog.
    3. Wait for a behavioral trigger, such as barking, jumping, or aggression.
    4. Press the ultrasonic button while pointing the device toward the dog. Use a firm voice command such as “Stop” or “Quiet” simultaneously.
    5. Reinforce positive behavior by offering praise or a treat after the dog responds appropriately.

    The key is consistency—using the device regularly while pairing it with encouragement ensures long-term success. BarxBuddy can also be used during walks or playtime to prevent unwanted behaviors from developing.
    Compliance and Safety Considerations
    The BarxBuddy device complies with consumer safety standards applicable to non-contact ultrasonic equipment. Independent safety testing has verified that the decibel range used in the product falls within established auditory safety margins for canines.
    Manufacturers continue to advise users to limit deployment to short training intervals and to combine its use with praise-based reinforcement. Importantly, usage guidelines recommend avoiding activation near overly anxious or noise-sensitive dogs without prior behavioral consultation.
    Looking Ahead: Future Iterations and Expansion Plans
    Sources close to the manufacturing team have indicated that future iterations of the BarxBuddy may include customizable frequency settings and app-based integration to monitor behavioral responses. These developments are aimed at personalizing the training process while collecting anonymous user feedback to inform design enhancements.
    In anticipation of growing international demand, distribution channels are also being explored in Canada, Australia, and select European markets. As pet care standards evolve globally, products like BarxBuddy are likely to play an increasingly visible role in shaping at-home training norms.

    Features of the BarxBuddy Ultrasonic Device
    As per official product website BarxBuddy stands out due to its blend of functionality, safety, and design. Key features include:

    • Ultrasonic Frequency (Non-Audible to Humans): Specifically calibrated to get dogs’ attention without causing harm.
    • LED Flashlight: Integrated light adds visibility for nighttime walks and offers an additional visual stimulus during training.
    • Compact, Handheld Design: Lightweight and easy to carry during daily activities or walks.
    • One-Button Operation: Simplifies the training process for beginners and experienced owners alike.

  • MIL-OSI China: Chinese premier meets Kyrgyz PM

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    TIANJIN, June 24 — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday met with Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan Adylbek Kasymaliev, who is in north China’s Tianjin for the 2025 Summer Davos.

    Li said that under the strategic guidance of the heads of state of the two countries, China-Kyrgyzstan relations have achieved leapfrog development in recent years, and comprehensive cooperation has reached new heights.

    China is willing to work with Kyrgyzstan continuously to enrich the China-Kyrgyzstan comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era, build a closer China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future, and move forward hand-in-hand on the road to modernization.

    Noting that China and Kyrgyzstan are neighbors with complementary industries, Li said China is ready to enhance the alignment of development strategies with Kyrgyzstan, focus on key areas, emphasize practical results, and increase the scale and efficiency of cooperation.

    Both sides should make good use of the inter-governmental economic and trade cooperation committee mechanism, and strive to reach a high-level agreement on trade in services and investment as soon as possible, Li added.

    He called on the two countries to steadily advance the construction of interconnection projects such as the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway, and to create highlights of cooperation in emerging fields.

    China is ready to import more high-quality and distinctive commodities from Kyrgyzstan, encourages Chinese enterprises to invest and start businesses in Kyrgyzstan, and hopes that the Kyrgyz side will continue to optimize its business environment, Li said.

    He also called for personnel exchanges between the two countries to be facilitated further, for multilateral cooperation to be strengthened, for unilateralism and protectionism to be opposed, and for free trade and the stability of global production and supply chains to be safeguarded.

    Kasymaliev said that the Kyrgyz side has great appreciation for the remarkable achievements China has made in promoting the development of new quality productive forces, adheres to the one-China principle, opposes any act of interference in China’s internal affairs under the guise of the Taiwan question, and opposes any form of “Taiwan independence.”

    Kyrgyzstan is willing to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with China in trade, investment, finance, connectivity and other fields, and stands ready to coordinate and cooperate closely within such frameworks as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the China-Central Asia mechanism, he noted. Kyrgyzstan is ready to work with China to oppose unilateralism and protectionism, and promote bilateral relations to reach higher levels, he added.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Bioinspired Materials Can Take a Punch

    Source: US Government research organizations

    Certain creatures have unique microstructures in their exoskeletons that enable them to withstand heavy impacts continuously over time. These Bouligand structures can be found in the mantis shrimp, blue crab, glorious beetle and many more (shown here).

    Some of the most innovative and useful inventions have been inspired by nature. Take the Shinkansen bullet train in Japan, whose aerodynamic design is modeled after the kingfisher bird. Or Velcro, which a Swiss engineer invented after observing that the burrs that stick to a dog’s fur have tiny hooks in them.

    Now, scientists have turned to a small underwater predator for inspiration. The mantis shrimp is a colorful invertebrate that packs a powerful punch. It can crack clamshells with the force of a .22 caliber bullet, thanks to unique structures that make its exoskeleton surprisingly strong.

    Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made synthetic versions of these structures and tested their impact performance by blasting microprojectiles at them. They discovered that adjusting specific parameters of the structures changed how they absorbed and dissipated the impact energy.

    “The results and insights of this research mark an important advance in bioinspired materials design with applications for aerospace, such as helping spacecraft survive the impact of micrometeoroids and protecting orbiting satellites that collide with debris,” said NIST materials research engineer Edwin Chan.

    Other potential applications include better bullet-resistant glass, blast-resistant building materials, and more protective helmets.

    Chan and his colleagues published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    This research idea came from Sujin Lee, who came to NIST as a National Research Council (NRC) postdoctoral fellow. Lee wanted to understand why the mantis shrimp’s appendage didn’t break as it smashed the shells of other creatures. Chan was also intrigued by this concept, and the two developed a research project to find out.

    “When a person punches someone, their hand hurts, but with a mantis shrimp, it doesn’t,” said Chan. Or it doesn’t seem to, anyway. Lee and Chan already knew that this was related to microscopic “Bouligand structures” in the shrimp’s exoskeleton.

    “Bouligand structures are a universal material platform for impact resistance in nature, and we wanted to learn more about them, so we produced and tested them in the lab,” said Chan.

    Lee and Chan synthesized the structures from cellulose nanocrystals, which are found in plant fibers. The nanocrystals self-assembled into plates, which layered on top of each other like rotating stacks of plywood.

    Those stacks formed their synthetic Bouligand structures. Researchers then modified the crystals using high-frequency sound waves before assembling them into thin films that served as their test material.

    Next, they tested the impact resistance of the thin films by firing microprojectiles at them at speeds of up to 600 meters per second. The microprojectiles, made of silica, were propelled toward their target by a high-intensity laser. The researchers recorded images of the microprojectiles impacting the thin films with an ultrafast camera.

    Microprojectile Hitting CNC Film

    NIST researchers tested the impact performance of synthetic versions of structures found in the exoskeleton of mantis shrimp. They used high-intensity lasers to fire microprojectiles made of silica at thin films of these synthetic structures.

    Based on those images, the researchers observed that a microprojectile can leave a permanent indentation while also bouncing back like a tennis ball hitting the ground. The degree of indentation and the amount of bounce-back depended on how the energy dissipated or spread out in shockwaves after the microprojectile’s impact.

    The researchers discovered that they could adjust how the energy dissipated by fine-tuning various factors that affected the sample’s mechanical properties, such as making the nanocrystals thicker or changing their density. They found that the microprojectiles left permanent indentations in the thinner films, but the thicker films excelled at redirecting the shockwaves from the impact.

    NIST worked on this project as part of its mission to develop advanced measurement methods that can be useful to U.S. industry. Researchers can use the measurement methods developed for this project to further develop impact-resistant materials based on Bouligand structures as well as other types of advanced materials with special properties.

    “These findings suggest that there are different ways to design materials to absorb impact, and we can use this knowledge to create more resilient and longer-lasting materials,” Chan said. “If you’re a boxer in the ring, you want to fight nine rounds, not just one.”
