Why did the Russian ruble fall again?
The Russian ruble has experienced a significant decline in value against the dollar and euro, attributed to higher imports, foreign capital outflows, and the impact of Western sanctions, particularly the EU's oil price cap. Russia's budget deficit and dependency on China are also influencing factors. Experts offer mixed forecasts on the ruble's future, with some predicting a strengthening and others a continued decline. The role of the Chinese yuan is growing in Russia's economy, but the transition is slow due to its limited convertibility and liquidity compared to the dollar and euro.

Foreign investment in China falls for past year as economy struggles
Foreign Direct Investment in China has declined for the 12th consecutive month, with a 28.2% year-on-year decrease in the first five months of 2023. Analysts attribute this to political risks and China's economic struggles post-COVID. The Chinese government's crackdowns on industries and foreign companies have raised concerns among investors. Despite efforts to attract foreign investment, such as visa-free policies and increased flights, many foreign investors, particularly Americans, are withdrawing due to political and supply chain risks. The U.S. and other Western countries have increased tariffs on Chinese products, further straining relations. However, some experts believe that if China's economy recovers, foreign investment may increase.

White House agonizes over UN cybercrime treaty

The treaty, seen as a potential alternative to the Budapest Convention, could allow countries like Russia, China, and Iran to influence global cybercrime standards. Despite the U.S. joining a consensus vote on a draft, there are widespread apprehensions about the treaty's implications for civil liberties and potential misuse by authoritarian regimes. Key stakeholders, including tech companies and human rights organizations, have voiced their opposition, citing weak human rights safeguards and risks of political repression. The U.S. faces a critical decision on whether to support the treaty, with potential impacts on its international credibility and influence in shaping future cybercrime protocols.

The USISPF, established in 2017, has gained influence, and Modi's address could signify a shift in New Delhi's engagement with American business leadership. The USIBC, formed in 1975 at Henry Kissinger's request, experienced internal conflict leading to the formation of USISPF. Modi's visit will also include participation in International Yoga Day at the UN, a joint session of the US Congress, and an event with the Indian Diaspora.

The business dealings of Queen Elizabeth II's cousin with two Russian businessmen linked to oligarch Boris Rotenberg
Prince Michael of Kent, cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, has long been involved in business dealings with Russian businessmen Sergey Markov and Maxim Viktorov, who have ties to oligarch Boris Rotenberg. Despite his royal credentials, Prince Michael's business ventures, including RemitRadar, have faced significant challenges. Leaked emails reveal that Markov and Viktorov helped Rotenberg circumvent Western sanctions, although there is no evidence that Prince Michael was aware of these efforts. The article highlights criticism from British MP Margaret Hodge regarding Prince Michael's business associations, especially in light of the UK's stance on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. Despite distancing himself from the Kremlin, Prince Michael remains a shareholder in RemitRadar alongside his Russian partners.

This is the state of media in today’s world.
The article criticizes The Washington Post and mainstream media (MSM) for their approach to controlling narratives, particularly in relation to Donald Trump's claims about the 2020 election. It discusses the upcoming live town hall with Trump on Fox News, which has raised concerns about the spread of unchecked falsehoods. The article accuses The Washington Post of hypocrisy, citing its history of publishing false claims and its participation in debunking the Hunter Biden laptop story. It also references a Time magazine article that described an alliance between activists and business leaders during the election, which the author suggests could be seen as election rigging. The piece argues that MSM is more interested in pushing narratives than in truth-telling, pointing to past instances of unchallenged misinformation. The article concludes by advocating for independent media like Hot Air, which claims to provide honest, independent analysis and admits to its own biases.

Can China recover from Zero-Covid?
China's recovery from its Zero-Covid policy is hampered by low foot traffic in key areas, geopolitical tensions with the U.S., and internal policies that contradict its reopening rhetoric. Despite economic growth, trade and travel remain restricted, and U.S. companies are reconsidering their investments in China. The Biden Administration's stance on China as a geopolitical challenge and China's assertive policies have led to a significant reduction in bilateral exchanges. To improve relations, both nations need to reduce hostile rhetoric and foster cooperation in areas like public health and people-to-people exchanges.
