But there is deep subtext to the meeting between Xi and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi: China, the United States’ top global rival, is cultivating an extensive relationship with one of America’s key allies in the Middle East as it moves to expand its influence in the rapidly changing region.

Xi aims to present China as a stabilizer in the region and contrast it with the United States, which for decades has been militarily entangled there — its six-month war with Iran being just the latest example.

Last year, FDA and federal cybersecurity officials issued a warning about a patient monitor called the Contec CMS8000, a medical device used routinely in American hospitals to track heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiograms. Investigators found a back door built into the software. Not a simple glitch, but a highly technological avenue to siphon patient data out of our health care facilities and into outside remote servers. The company that manufactures the Contec monitor is based in China.

A machine designed to help doctors and hospitals make life or death decisions conveniently was capable of sending sensitive patient data straight home to Beijing.

Brussels claims China is “dumping” state-subsidized vehicles, and there is no question that Beijing supported its EV industry. Yet Europe subsidizes battery factories, charging stations, renewable energy, manufacturers, and the consumers purchasing these cars. Italy’s incentives temporarily reduced the Chinese Leapmotor T03 to as little as €5,000. The difference is that China used industrial policy to build an efficient supply chain, while Europe spent public money creating regulations, mandates, compliance departments, and carbon-accounting schemes.

Iran is nearing a deal with China to buy anti-ship cruise missiles known as CM-302, according to six sources familiar with the negotiations. This comes at a time when the United States has deployed a significant naval force near Iran, preparing for potential military actions against the country. The CM-302 missiles can travel about 290 kilometers and are designed to outmaneuver naval defenses by flying low and fast. Their acquisition would greatly boost Iran’s ability to strike and pose a threat to U. S. naval operations in the area, as noted by weapons experts.

The missile negotiations, which have been ongoing for at least two years, gained momentum following a brief conflict between Israel and Iran in June. Senior Iranian officials, including deputy defense minister Massoud Oraei, visited China as the talks progressed. The exact number of missiles involved in the potential deal, their cost, and the commitment from China regarding delivery remain unclear amid the rising regional tensions.

British ⁠Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday that he wanted to build a “sophisticated relationship” with Beijing to boost the UK economy, signalling a reset after years of strained ties.

On the key day of his four-day visit to China, the first by a British prime minister in eight years, Starmer held an 80-minute summit with Xi at the ​Great Hall of the People before they lunched together. Starmer said the pair chatted about football and Shakespeare, as well as business matters.

China agreed to relax rules to allow some visa-free ⁠travel for British citizens as part of a partnership ​deal which London hopes will help expand its ‍service sector.
