🇨🇳⚡️🇺🇸 Chinese state media Global Times:
“We adopt a defensive military strategy, but in the Taiwan Straits region, we have gradually formed a local absolute military advantage. We will not engage in military confrontation with the US in regions far away from China's core interests. However, if the US military comes to China's nearby waters, especially if it intervenes militarily in the Taiwan Straits and assists the "Taiwanese military" in a possible future Taiwan Straits war, the People's Liberation Army will not hesitate to "beat the crap out of" those US troops. We will always make our determination clear to the US.”

China will not be another Soviet Union, but forge its own path
As China is not the Soviet Union, the US will certainly miscalculate if it treats China as the Soviet Union. It will mess itself up, and its China policy will yield minimal results.

US B-52 Arrives For Joint Drills In South Korea
Amid heightened tensions following North Korea's unsuccessful satellite launch, a US B-52 strategic bomber engaged in joint exercises with South Korea on Friday, according to officials in Seoul, cited by Reuters.
The drills included the participation of US F-16 and F-15 fighters, which flew alongside the bomber, while South Korean F-35 and KF-16 jets also joined the training, as reported by the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul.
The recent military exercises, combined with the arrival of a US nuclear-powered cruise-missile submarine in South Korea after a nearly six-year absence, underscore the heightened frequency and intensity of US strategic asset deployments.

Biden Rejects SCOTUS Expansion Despite Controversial Ruling
President Joe Biden criticized the idea of expanding the membership of the US Supreme Court following its decision to strike down race-conscious admission considerations on Thursday, but said he believes the institution is disconnected from fundamental American values.
Biden told MSNBC that the court “may do too much harm but I think if we start the process of trying to expand the court, we are going to politicize it maybe forever, in a way that is not healthy.”
Biden's remarks came shortly after the Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to affirmative action policies by invalidating race-conscious student admissions programs at prestigious institutions.

Mexico: At Least 100 Dead Amid Severe Heat Wave
Mexico has experienced a staggering death toll of at least 100 people in the past two weeks as scorching temperatures soared to nearly 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) in certain regions, the country's health ministry revealed on Thursday.
A relentless heat wave lasting three weeks has placed immense strain on the energy grid, resulting in record-breaking demand. This has prompted authorities to suspend classes in certain areas and has left countless Mexicans sweltering in the oppressive heat.
The health ministry's report on extreme temperatures highlighted that the majority of these tragic deaths, over two-thirds, occurred during the week of June 18-24, with the remaining fatalities recorded the previous week. In stark contrast, only a single heat-related death was reported during the same period last year
