Vladimir Putin has conceded that China has ‘concerns’ about the Ukraine war, during his face-to-face meeting with Xi Jinping

The world was watching as Russian leader Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping met face to face. The two authoritarian leaders have been brought together by their mutual feelings toward the west.

During his opening speech, Putin conceded that that China has concerns about the Ukraine war.

“We highly appreciate the balanced position of our Chinese friends in connection with the Ukrainian crisis. We understand your questions and concerns”
Vladimir Putin- Russian President

China has consistently refused to condemn Russia’s actions and has instead given unwavering economic and trade support, despite global condemnation.

China’s Xi assured Putin that he will “work with Russia to extend strong mutual support on each other’s core interests.”

He thanked Putin for his respect of the one-China policy, stressing Taiwan is a part of China.

At the White House, Pentagon Press Sec, John Kirby shrugged off any concerns about the meeting.

And instead, sent a firm message to China.

“Our message to China, I think, been consistent: that this is not the time for any kind of business as usual with Mr. Putin, given what he’s done inside Ukraine. This is not the time to be isolated from the rest of the international community, which has largely condemned what he’s doing in Ukraine and not only condemned it, but stepped up to help the Ukrainians defend themselves and their territorial integrity,”
John Kirby to CNN- National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications,

Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.

Australia has made history, becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. From midnight, platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram will be blocked for young users across the nation. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory actions ever taken on youth online safety.

The new law requires ten major digital platforms to comply or face fines of up to A$49.5 million. The decision comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, with other countries watching closely as they consider similar measures.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the ban is designed to support young Australians and reduce harmful pressures created by constant digital engagement. While platforms are preparing to use age-inference technology to comply, critics warn the ban could isolate vulnerable teens.
