Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal - Video: China just launched the World Data Organization in Beijing, the first of its kind.
While the U.S. fights a war, China is quietly shaping global rules on data and AI, seizing the moment as rivals stay distracted.

The Middle East war has China stuck in a weird spot. And Beijing knows it.
Iran needs China. But China? Not so much. It trades 10x more with Saudi and the UAE.
So Beijing’s walking a tightrope: condemning Khamenei’s killing, criticizing Iran’s Gulf attacks, calling for a ceasefire, yet ignoring Trump’s calls to reopen Hormuz.
China’s play is smart: let America burn diplomatic fuel while it plays the calm, reasonable adult in the room.
But there’s risk. Rising oil prices, crashing Gulf economies, and Europe, China’s top export market, getting hit hard.
For now, it’s watching, very carefully, from a very safe distance.

Australian authorities confirmed it was arson.
What a waste of beautiful cars.
